#10152722March 14, 2006
SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT
THE CAR WAS INSPECTED FOR BALL JOINT PROBLEMS (RECALL) @ 18,000 MILES, THE DEALER SAID ALL WAS GOOD. AT 63,000 MILES I WAS LEAVING A STOP SIGN WHEN THE LOWER BALL JOINT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BROKE, TOTALLY SEPARATED. THERE WAS LITTLE WARNING BEFORE THE JOINT BROKE. THE CAR FROM TIME TO TIME WOULD FEEL ODD (PULLING TO ONE SIDE) SLIGHTLY BUT THIS WAS INTERMITTENT. I NEVER IMAGINED THAT A BALL JOINT WAS ABOUT TO FAIL. WHEN THE JOINT BROKE THE SUSPENSION GOUGED THE INSIDE OF THE RIM DEEPLY AND BENT THE DRIVE SHAFT AGAINST THE SUSPENSION. THE DEALER HAS APPROVED REPLACING THE BALL JOINTS (BOTH LOWERS) BUT IS REFUSING TO REPLACE THE WHEEL OR THE DRIVE SHAFT AT THIS TIME. THE BALL JOINTS THEY REFUSE TO GIVE TO US. *NM

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT
ON MARCH 11, 2006, I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 JEEP, LIBERTY INTO THE DRIVEWAY OF MY HOME. AS I CROSSED THE THRESHOLD OF THE DRIVEWAY I HEARD A LOUD POP. I PARKED MY VEHICLE AND INSPECTED THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I SAW THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM ON THE GROUND AND THE TIRE TURNED OUTWARD. I CALLED FOR A WRECKER AND WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS MOVED WE COULD SEE THAT THE SUSPENSION SEPARATED AT THE BALL OF THE JOINT. ON THE GROUND ALONG THE PATH THAT THE VEHICLE TRAVELED WAS SMALL METAL SHAVINGS. I TOOK PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE VEHICLE AND COLLECTED THE SHAVINGS. *JB

#10150591February 18, 2006
SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT
DRIVING MY 2003 JEEP LIBERTY FREEDOM EDITION DOWN A VERY STEEP GRAVEL DRIVEWAY. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENTIRE CAR HIT THE BOTTOM OF THE DRIVE WITH A BIG CRASH. I WAS UNABLE TO STEER AND WENT PART WAY INTO THE ROAD. HAD TO MOVE THE CAR BACK TO BOTTOM OF DRIVEWAY AS TO NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IN THE MIDDLE OF A MOUNTAIN ROAD. OIL WAS LEAKING AND WHEN I TRIED TO DRIVE THE CAR TO THE END OF DRIVEWAY, METAL SHAVINGS WERE COMING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE. IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE WHEEL MORE THAN ABOUT 1" AT A TIME. THE ENTIRE FENDER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE POPPED OFF ALSO. MY BACK, NECK AND KNEE WERE HURT AS RESULT OF THE CAR CRASHING TO THE GROUND. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO JEEP DEALER, WHERE I WAS TOLD ALL PARTS WOULD BE REPLACED. THE FRONT BALL JOINT HAD TOTALLY SEPARATED CAUSING THIS VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. WHEN I HAD FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR USED IN APRIL OF 2005, I HEARD ABOUT THE BALL JOINT RECALL ON THE 2003 JEEP LIBERTY'S. WHEN I CALLED DAIMLER CHRYSLER TO ASK ABOUT THIS, THEY TOLD ME THE VIN ON MY CAR WAS NOT IN THE RECALL. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM I HAD WITH THIS CAR WAS THE EXACT SAME ONE THAT THE JEEP LIBERTY'S WERE RECALLED FOR. OBVIOUSLY THEY HAVE NOT FIXED THIS PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER RECALL CENTER WAS OF NO HELP WITH ANY ANSWERS AND SEEMED TOTALLY UNCONCERNED AS I AM STILL COVERED BY THE BUMPER TO BUMPER(ORIGINAL) MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY(ONLY 26,000 MILES ON THE CAR), AND " IT WONT COST YOU ANYTHING TO HAVE IT FIXED". AND WAS TOLD "THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO IF IT WASN'T IN THE RECALLED VEHICLES".*JB

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT
PURCHASED 2004 JEEP LIBERTY IN MARCH 2005 (LIBERTY HAS A BUILD DATE OF 01-04) AND AFTER ALIGNMENT IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN HARDER TO CONTROL ON THE HIGHWAY, CHANGED TIRES, CHECKED ALIGNMENT. FOUND OUT THAT THE BALL JOINTS ARE WORN AND ONE IS WORN ALMOST TO SEPARATION. FORTUNATELY I FOUND THIS BEFORE IT SEPARATED. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY JEEP THAT THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS PROBLEM, THE JEEP NOW HAS 49000 MILES AND OF COURSE IS OUT OF FACTORY WARRANTY AND THEY ACT AS THOUGH IT HAS "HIGH MILEAGE" CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. UPON INVESTIGATION I FOUND THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY 2004 LIBERTY WITH THIS PROBLEM, APPEARS THAT THE 02-04 ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *NM
