ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY VEHICLE MADE A LOUD POPPING SOUND THAT SOUNDED LIKE IT CAME THROUGH THE STEREO SYSTEM. I NOTICED ALL POWER TO MY CAR WENT OUT. THE RADIO, LIGHTS, DASH, HEADLIGHTS, EVERYTHING SHUT OFF. I WENT AND TRIED EVERYTHING. I THOUGHT MAYBE A FUSE HAD BLOWN, NOT THE CASE. I REPLACED HEAD LAMPS, AND THE LIGHTS STILL DIDN'T WORK. I CHANGED MY STEERING SWITCH OUT AND HAVE SINCE FIGURED OUT IT MUST BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE? I HAVE READ MANY MANY PAGES ABOUT PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE OR VERY SIMILAR. I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE THE VEHICLE AT THIS TIME BECAUSE I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN IT AND ITS NOT STREET SAFE. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
MY 2002 JEEP LIBERTY EXPERIENCED A FRONT CONTROL ARM FAILURE. NOW IM TOLD THAT IT IS NOT COVERED ON A RECALL THAT COVERED THIS PROBLEM ON A RECALL COVERING OTHER 2002 MODELS. I CAN NOT FIND ANYONE TO GIVE ME AN ANSWER WHY? IF THIS WOULD OF HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THIS COULDOF CAUSED LOSS OF STEERING AND COULD OF CAUSED A CRASH. MY MAIN QUESTION IS, IF 43489 VEHICLES WERE RECALLED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, WHY ISN'T MY VEHICLE COVERED. *TR
