On june 28, 2010, the right front ball joint broke, causing control arm, strut damage, etc. Wheel was hanging off, and the car could not be move off road.

As noted in a previous complaint filed today, I've already had 2 huge bills to repair 2 front end wheels falling off the car... Something that could have killed my children who were driving at each specific time. All issues mentioned are safety issues that chrysler should address.
