1996 chrysler sebring coupe. Consumer writes regarding chrysler employee lunch break activities *tgwthe consumer stated he experienced mechanical failure while driving 20 mph.the left front ball joint suddenly separated and jammed the tire up into the fender well at an awkward angle. The consumer stated it cost over $800 to replace the suspension parts on both sides.
