STEERING
I JUST PURCHASED A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY WITH 30,200 MILES STILL UNDER MANUFACTURER WARRANTY ON JANUARY 14, 2005. ON JANUARY 22, 2005 I WAS PULLING IN A PARKING LOT AND MY CONTROL ARM BROKE. I FOUND A OPEN CAMPAIGN ON THE VEHICLE ID 03V460000. I BELIEVE THAT BEFORE A DEALERSHIP CAN PUT A VEHICLE ON THEIR LOT TO SELL THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO CHECK FOR OPEN CAMPAIGNS. COULD SOMEONE PLEASE ADVISE ME ON WHAT SHOULD BE DONE. *NM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE:BELTS AND ASSOCIATED PULLEYS
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT 75 WHEN I STARTED HEARING A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. I GOT OFF THE FREEWAY AND MADE IT HOME . AS SOON AS I TURNED THE LAST CORNER THE STEERING LOCKED TO THE LEFT AND MADE A HUGE GRINDING NOISE THIS TIME. I STOPPED IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE, AND WHEN I GOT OUT THERE WAS STEERING FLUID EVERYWHERE! I PULLED THE BELT OFF, AND THE PULLEY WAS EXTREMELY EASY TO MOVE ALL AROUND. I HAVE FOUND THAT MANY MORE PEOPLE THAN JUST ME HAVE ALSO HAD THIS PROBLEM AND IF IT WERE TO HAVE HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY I COULD HAVE EASILY CRASHED AT 75! I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY TOLD ME "THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING BECUASE ITS NOT A SAFTEY PROBLEM, AND I AM THE 3RD OWNER OF THE VEHICLE" HOW THAT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT I DONT KNOW. I HAVE TO SPECIAL ORDER THE PART FROM JEEP BECAUSE NOBODY CARRYS IT. I WILL FIX IT MYSELF ONCE THE PART COMES IN AND REFUSE TO PAY $400 FOR SOMETHING THEY(JEEP) SHOULD REPLACE FOR FREE. THEY WILL NOT RECIEVE AND BUSINESS FROM ME. THEY ARE EXTREMLY LUCKY NO ONE WAS INJURED AND THERE ISNT A LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM.*AK
