We were literally a couple of thousand miles out of our warranty when I started noticing a loud sound coming from the right front side of the car. When I took it in to the shop, the mechanic said that it was the wheel bearing. He was surprised considering the relatively low mileage of the car.

Later that day he called to say that the left side was almost as bad as the right and needed to be done eventually. What could I do other than fork out the money and pay for it.

I called Chrysler and told them what had happened, but they refused to even really listen to my problem because I was out of the warranty. A couple of lessons learned... don't buy a US made sedan if you are looking for a long-lasting car and if you do purchase a domestic sedan... buy the extended warranty. In my case, considering the other problems I have had with the car, it would have definitely been worth the money.
