POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE HAS 70,000 ORIGINAL OWNER MILES. PLACED THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK BUT THE LINKAGE HAD FAILED AND THE VEHICLE STAYED IN D AND STARTED TO ROLL OFF. THE LINKAGE ON THE SIDE OF THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED, THE PART IS: MANUAL CONTROL LEVER - MOPAR 52104177. IT HAS BEEN REVISED TWICE SINCE THE ORIGINAL VEHICLE. THE GRADE WAS VERY SLIGHT AND MY WIFE WAS STILL IN THE VEHICLE AND APPLIED THE PARKING BRAKE. THE MECHANIC THOUGHT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL BUT COULD NOT FIND ONE. THE SAME PART IS USED ON MANY JEEP, DODGE, CHRYSLER VEHICLES AND HAS BEEN RECALLED ON SOME MODELS. IT IS A GREAT SAFETY HAZARD AS THE SHIFT LIVER IS IN PARK BUT THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT. I HAVE MADE A PURCHASE OF A REPLACEMENT PART BUT THE DEALER HAD TO ORDER A NEW ONE WHICH IS NOW: MANUAL CONTROL LEVER - MOPAR (52104177AC) AFTER HAVING BEEN REVISED TWICE.

SUSPENSION
AFTER INSPECTION FROM MECHANICS I WAS TOLD MY 2005 JEEP LIBERTY WAS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS THE OTHER 05 LIBERTYS IM REFERENCE TO THE FRONT LOWER BALL JOINTS WHERE THE DEFECT IS ALLOWING MOISTURE TO GET IN DAMAGING THE BALL JOINT AND IT'S CRACKING AND RUSTED AND BAD NEEDS TO BE REPLACED THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY VIN WHEN I PUT MY VEHICLE INTO GEAR AND START DRIVING FORWARD OR REVERSE I GET LOUD POPS AND. CRACKING NOISE ALSO ANYTIME I HIT A BUMP AND SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY I WAS TOLD THE RATE AT WHICH IT'S DETERIORATING AND HOW BAD IT IS IS EXCESSIVE AND NEEDS FOR A SAFETY CONCERN

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I'M SPEEDING UP AS I'M PASSING A TRUCK ON 395, SIGNALING WITH LEFT BLINKER. START SPEED AS BEGINNING TO PASS IS APPROX. 55 MPH. I SIGNAL RIGHT AS I PULL BACK IN THE SOUTH BOUND LANE, TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AS I NOTICE I'M DRIVING 80 MPH. THE GAS PEDAL IS STUCK AND THE CAR IS GOING 80 MPH ON ITS OWN. I STEP ON THE BRAKE CAREFULLY BUT ITS ROCK HARD AND DOESN'T MOVE AT ALL. AT THIS POINT THE CAR IS STUCK AT 80 MPH. I TRY TO BRAKE AGAIN BUT THE SAME - BRAKE PEDAL IS STUCK, DOESN'T MOVE AT ALL AND IS ROCK HARD. ROAD CONDITIONS ARE GOOD SO I'M IN A "CONTROLLED PANIC", AND TRY THE BRAKE ONE MORE TIME. THIS TIME THE BRAKES ENGAGE AND I GET THE CAR DOWN TO 65 MPH. I DON'T WANT TO BURN THE BRAKES SO I RELEASE THE BRAKE AND IMMEDIATELY THE CAR SPEEDS UP ON ITS OWN TO 80 MPH. I REPEAT. SLOW TO 65 MPH, STEP OFF THE BRAKE AND AGAIN THE CAR IMMEDIATELY SPEEDS UP TO 80 MPH. AT THIS POINT MY THOUGHTS GO TO CRUISE CONTROL (WHICH I HAD NOT ACTIVATED OR USED ON THIS TRIP). I PULL THE "CANCEL" ON THE CRUISE CONTROL, NOTHING. I TRY AGAIN AND LOOK AT THE DASHBOARD WHERE THE CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT IS "OFF", INDICATING CRUISE CONTROL IS NOT ON. I TURN THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AND PULL THE "CANCEL" AGAIN AND BRAKE. THIS TIME THE CAR COMES OUT OF IT, AND I TURN THE CRUISE CONTROL OFF AGAIN. SINCE THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT EVEN ON TO BEGIN WITH, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S WHAT ACTUALLY MADE THE CAR 'UNFREEZE'. I WAS LUCKY I WAS ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH OF ROAD WITH NO TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME. SINCE I WAS PASSING A TRUCK I'M NOT 100% SURE IF I SPED UP TO 80 MPH OR IF THE CAR SUDDENLY DID THAT ON ITS OWN. I DO BELIEVE THE CAR DID THAT, AS THERE WAS NO REASON TO GET UP TO THAT SPEED TO PASS SAFELY.

SERVICE BRAKES
MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND I WAS DRIVING ON A THREE LANE STREET WITH A SPEED LIMIT OF 45 MPH WHEN THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM SUDDENLY SEIZED. THE BRAKES REMAINED ENGAGED AND THE ONLY WAY I COULD DRIVE MY CAR WAS TO PUT IT IN REVERSE, THEN NEUTRAL THEN DRIVE. MY ENTIRE DRIVE HOME I COULD HEAR THE BRAKES AND WHENEVER I HAD TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN THE BRAKES WOULD LOCK.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
12/8/2020: MY DAUGHTER HAD JUST RETURNED HOME FROM COLLEGE LITERALLY THAT MORNING DRIVING THROUGH NYC TO DE. THAT AFTERNOON SHE WENT OUT TO SEE A FRIEND AND THOUGHT SHE HAD A FLAT TIRE WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 50 MPH AND STRUGGLED TO PULL OVER. IT WAS AT NIGHT SO WE COULDN'T SEE THE DAMAGE. WE CALLED AAA TO COME CHANGE THE TIRE. HE EXAMINED THE FLUID UNDER THE TIRE AND THEN IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT TIRE ROD FELL AND PUNCTURED THE TIRE. WE COULD ALSO SEE A LONG BLACK TRAIL WHERE THE TIRE ROD DRAGGED ON THE ROAD BEFORE SHE COULD STOP. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAID IF SHE DIDN'T STOP WHEN SHE DID SHE WOULD HAVE FELL INTO THE DEEP DITCH NEXT TO IT AND IT WOULD HAVE FLIPPED OVER. CONSIDERING IT WAS DARK SHE WAS LUCKY AND EVEN LUCKIER THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY IN NYC ONLY A FEW HOURS EARLIER. BUT WHAT WAS EVEN MORE DISTURBING IS THE FRONT UPPER AND LOWER CONTROL ARMS WERE JUST REPLACE THE REAR LOWER CONTROL ARMS DUE TO CORROSION WAS DONE AT THE DEALER, ALONG WITH AN ALIGNMENT. (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V278000). IT'S CLEAR THAT THE RECALL SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE REPLACING THE FRONT CONTROL ARMS. THE WINDOW REGULATOR ALSO FAILED THE WEEK BEFORE.

I'VE HAD LOWER BALL JOINTS, BUSHING AND CONTROL ARMS ALREADY REPLACED ONCE IN 2017 AND NOW THEY ARE OUT AGAIN. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY MOPAR THAT MY 2006 LIBERTY WAS MADE 5 WEEKS AFTER THE LAST ONE INVOLVED IN THE RECALL.THIS IS INEXCUSABLE. I'VE HAD 3 WINDOW REGULATORS REPLACED. THIS IS A FATALITY WAITING TO HAPPEN IF I DRIVE. I STARTED HEARING AND FEELING THE BALL JOINTS GOING BAD ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO. I HARDLY HAVE DRIVEN IT SINCE I WORK FROM HOME NOW. CAN CHRYSLER SEE ALL THESE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE BALL JOINTS AND STILL NOT ADD THESE 06 JEEP'S TO THAT RECALL. THIS IS NOT GOOD BUSINESS AT ALL. ALSO JUST HAD FRONT BRAKES DONE 1 YEAR AGO AND THEY NEED REPLACED ALREADY. IGNITION - MY KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION UNLESS I PUSH ON THE IGNITION CABLE. PLEASE HELP ME TO GET THESE PROBLEMS FIXED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FROM CHRYSLER.
