This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 1998 Dodge Stratus. While driving 5 mph the contact heard a loud noise coming from the front passenger's side wheel. The contact's relative inspected the vehicle and determined the ball joints were broken. The dealer has not diagnosed the vehicle. There was recall 97V201000 concerning the lower ball joints for 1997 vehicles. The contact stated that this vehicle should be included in the recall.
I begain to have a grinding noise when I turned and then, my half-shaft fell out of my transmission, causing me to have to replace my half shaft and lower control arm. That stuff is not cheap.
