ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2006 JEEP LIBERTY. THE ROD LINKING BETWEEN THE KEY SIDE OF THE IGNITION AND THE SWITCH IS BROKEN. I HAVE SEEN ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ONLINE OF THE SAME YEAR MODEL TO KNOW THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE THAT SHOULD BE A RECALL. ALSO, THE ROD IS NOT AVAILABLE, ONLY THE ENTIRE COLUMN AND IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE.

RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE U38/NHTSA 18V-278 IN JUNE 2018 VIA USPS. TOOK SEVERAL WEEKS TO GET APPOINTMENT WITH A LOCAL JEEP DEALER. CAR WAS TAKEN IN SEPT 17TH TO UFTRING JEEP DEALER 140 RADIO CITY DR, PEKIN, IL 61554. THIS DEALER DETERMINED THAT MY VEHICLE DOES NEED THE RECALL PARTS (REAR CONTROL ARM & ANY OTHER NECESSARY PARTS TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR). I WAS TOLD THE PARTS ARE ON BACKORDER AND UFTRING STATED THAT THERE IS NO SPECIFIC OR ESTIMATED DATE FOR PARTS TO ARRIVE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. IS JEEP WILLING TO PROVIDE ME WITH A RENTAL CAR UNTIL THE REPAIR IS COMPLETED? I WANT TO KNOW WHERE THESE PARTS ARE AND WHEN THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE IN MY AREA TO REPAIR MY CAR?

THIS IS REGARDING A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. DRIVING THE JEEP ON A HIGHWAY GOING APPROX. 65-70MP, SOMETHING BROKE UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE FRONT END HAD BROKEN DOWN ALMOST TO THE GROUND, BUT WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT CRASHING. HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC ESTIMATE REPORTED THERE IS MAJOR CORROSION IN THE BALL JOINT, THE CONTROL ARM-R&R 4WD UPPER, BOTH SIDES NEED REPLACEMENT, AXLE SHAFT CV ASSEMBLY R&R TRANSMISSION TYPE 4-WHEEL ABS BOTH SIDES. BALL JOINT-R&R 4WD LOWER, BOTH SIDES, CONTROL ARM WITH BALL JOINT-FRONT UPPER, BALL JOINT FRONT LOWER, CONSTANT VELOCITY (CV) DRIVESHAFT-FRONT LEFT NEED NEW. WAS TOLD THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL BECAUSE THE RECALL WAS FOR REAR CONTROL ARM FRACTURE (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V278000) CAUSING CORROSION IN BALL JOINT. NOT THE FRONT CONTROL ARM. EVEN THOUGH THE FRONT CONTROL ARM SEEMS TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. PHOTO SUPPLIED OF CORROSION IN FRONT.
