ORIGINAL OWNER DRIVES 5000 MILES PER YEAR, ERRANDS, STAY-AT-HOME MOM, PARKED IN GARAGE DURING VEHICLES LIFE. IN DEC 2014 TOOK TO DEALER FOR TIRE ROTATION AND BALANCE. WAS TOLD BALL JOINTS BAD ON BOTH FRONT WHEELS AND UPPER CONTROL ARMS NEEDED REPLACED @ 60,000 MILES. WHEN LIBERTY WAS BRAND NEW TOOK TO DEALER FOR RECALL F-22 AND WAS THERE MAYBE 30 MINS. WAS TOLD GOOD TO GO.... VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 65,000 AND HAVE RECEIVED SECOND OPINION FROM REPUTABLE MECHANIC WHO STATES THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS WORSE THAN PASSENGERS AND SHOULD BE REPLACED, THAT THIS IS EITHER A "FAILED RECALL" OR PREMATURE WEAR. WITH MY MILEAGE BEING SO LITE, THIS DEFECT WOULD HAVE INITIATED LONG BEFORE IT SHOULD HAVE. THE AVERAGE MILES A PERSON DRIVES IS 12000-15000 A YR WHICH WOULD HAVE PUT THIS DEFECT OCCURRING 3 YRS AFTER INITIALLY RECALLED. THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE FAULTY THEMSELVES OR JEEP ISN'T BEING HONEST ABOUT THE LIFE CYCLE OF THIS RECALL. I CANNOT BELIEVE A COMPANY WOULD ALLOW PEOPLE TO DRIVE VEHICLES WITH GAS TANKS READY TO EXPLODE AND BALL JOINTS ABOUT TO COME UNGLUED ANY MOMENT....

THE JEEP WAS BEING DRIVEN BY MY GRANDDAUGHTER LEAVING HER WORK AT STARBUCKS, WHEN SHE TRIED TO EXIT THE PARKING LOT THE RIGHT FRONT BALL JOINT DROPPED OUT AND THE JEEP SET DOWN ON THE A-FRAME AND STOPPED. HAD THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY SHE COULD HAVE BEEN BADLY HURT OR EVEN KILLED. CHRYSLER HAS A RECALL ON THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM FOR THE 06 JEEP LIBERTY BUT INSIST THAT A RECALL IS ISSUED BY VIN NUMBER, WHICH DOES NOT MAKE SENSE, THE BALL JOINT IS A VERY BAD DESIGN AND THE SHOULD RECALL ALL 2006 OR LATER MODELS WITH THIS CONDITION.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ORIGINALLY PURCHASED TOW HITCH AND PAID FOR INSTALLATION AT A CAR REPAIR SHOP, THEN LATER HAD TO STOP BY A JEEP DEALERSHIP TO INSPECT IT. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP REMOVED MY HITCH TO INSTALL A NEW ONE BUT STOLE MY OLD HITCH THAT I ALREADY PAID FOR. I COULD HAVE RETURNED THE OLD HITCH OR USED IT FOR MY OTHER VEHICLE BUT INSTEAD THEY REFUSED TO GIVE IT BACK TO ME AND WOULDN'T EVEN GIVE ME BACK THE SMALL RUBBER TOW HITCH COVER I HAD ON IT. SO NOW I'M OUT THE MONEY I PAID FOR THE ORIGINAL HITCH AND NOW CHRYSLER JEEP GETS AWAY WITH STEALING MY AFTERMARKET ADD-ONS. THIS IS CRIMINAL AND I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR WHAT THEY TOOK FROM ME. THE DEALERSHIP WAS RUDE TO ME AND TOLD ME THEY HAD TO DESTROY THE TOW HITCH I BROUGHT IN. OVERALL, IT WAS THE WORST SERVICE EVER.
