Lower lateral arm broke on our 1996 Chrysler Sebring. Dealer and Chrysler have refused to fix the car under recall. This is the 3rd major failure and inconvenience of this part. The last failure was 8 moths ago. There is clearly a safety issue here as well as a mechanical defect.

There's a horrible noise coming from front end, similar to recall on suspension lower control arm. Another dealer replaced the lateral arms and the problem was solved. The customer was satisfied by the dealer's performance.
