SUSPENSION
I HAVE A DEALERSHIP CONVERTED RIGHT HAND DRIVE JEEP LIBERTY. I WAS SLOWING DOWN PULLING UP TO A MAILBOX AND THE LEFT LOWER BALL JOINT SNAPPED IN HALF. TWO DAYS LATER I WAS PULLING AWAY FROM A MAILBOX AND THE RIGHT LOWER BALL JOINT SNAPPED IN HALF. BOTH TIMES I WAS IN MOTION. LUCKILY, I WAS GOING SLOW AND THEY WERE ON BACK ROADS. I HAD A MECHANIC CHECK ALL JOINTS PRIOR TO THEM BREAKING AND HE SAID EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE. MY HUSBAND AND FATHER EVEN CHECKED AFTER HIM. I CHECKED MY VIN NUMBER AND IT WAS NOT LISTED.

SUSPENSION, WHEELS
THE DRIVER SIDE BALL JOINT HAS BROKEN 7 TIMES IN 1 YEAR AND HAS BEEN REPLACED. USING 4 DIFFERENT MECHANICS ASSUMING IT WAS THE MECHANIC. THIS HAS HAPPENED EACH TIME WHILE DRIVING. THE LAST MECHANIC PUT AN ADDITIONAL NUT AND HAS ASSUMED TO WORK. HE ALSO INDICATED THAT HE HAS REPAIRED OTHER JEEP LIBERTY'S WITH SAME PROBLEM IN ONE CASE HE WELDED IT ON, I HAVE SEEN 3 OTHERS IN MY SMALL TOWN THAT YOU CAN SEE THEY ALSO HAVE A DRIVER FENDER THAT IS DAMAGED AS MINE IS WHEN THE BALL JOINT BREAKS AND TIRES PUSHES WHEEL FENDER OFF. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM AND CAN NOT BELIEVE THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED IN A RECALL, IT ASKS FOR A DATE, WELL THE FIRST TIME WAS SPRING OF 2017 SINCE THEN IT HAS HAPPENED 6 ADDITONAL TIMES

SEATS
THE BRACKET THAT IS RIVETED TO THE SEAT FRAME/PAN AND BOLTED TO THE SEAT BACK FRACTURED INTO TWO PIECES. THE BRACKET ON EACH SIDE OF THE FRAME FAILED UNDER NORMAL USE CONDITIONS. I PURCHASED A REPLACEMENT USED FRAME AND UPON DID-ASSEMBLY DISCOVERED THE SAME FAILURE. THIS COULD BE A FATAL CONDITION IN A CRASH, ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE REAR SEAT.

STEERING, STEERING: STEERING WHEEL/HANDLE BAR
THE TILT FUNCTION OF THE STEERING WHEEL FREQUENTLY COMES UNLOCKED CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO MOVE UP AND DOWN. THIS IS PARTICULARLY BAD WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR WHEN REVERSING. THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE AN EASY WAY TO TIGHTEN THE TENSION ON THE ADJUSTMENT LEVER.

POWER TRAIN, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE CLUTCH IGNITION, POWER SWITCH OF MY TRUCK KEEPS STALLS. THE VEHICLE DON'T START, WHEN THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS PUSHED DOWN. ALSO THE ENGINE CRANK AND START WITHOUT THE CLUTCH PEDAL BEING PUSHED DOWN CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO UNEXPECTEDLY LURCH. I WAS NOTIFIED BY A DEALER AFTER INSPECTION THAT SAID PROBLEM IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM, THAT WAS ON RECALL. HOWEVER SAID MY VEHICLE VIN# COULD NOT BE LOCATED WITH THE RECALL. I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER ON 1-800-992-1997, AND WAS TOLD I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. I WILL HIGHLY APPRECIATE YOUR IMMEDIATE INTERVENTION.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE ABS BAS ESP STOPPED WORKING AND THE LIGHTS CAME ON. WE WERE LIVING IN FT WAYNE INDIANS AT THE TIME AND WITHOUT THOSE FEATURES THIS JEEP IS FLAT OUT DANGEROUS. I HAD THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR REPLACED TWICE BUT THAT WASN'T IT. ONE DEALER REBUILT ALL FOUR OF MY BRAKES AND PURGED THE SYSTEM. THAT DIDN'T WORK.

SUSPENSION
NOTICED THAT THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE FELT LOOSE. THERE HAD BEEN A LOUD METAL SCRAPING NOISE WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 65 MPH ABOUT A MONTH EARLIER, HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED BUT NOTHING WAS FOUND. TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR NEW FRONT TIRES AND AN ALIGNMENT AND WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE LOWER BALL JOINT HAS A LOT OF PLAY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE BALL JOINTS BUT WHEN I CONTACTED CHRYSLER I WAS TOLD THERE ISN'T A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. THE RECALL L27 INCLUDES MY STATE THAT THE VEHICLE IS REGISTERED IN BUT IT WAS BOUGHT IN VIRGINIA, WHICH IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE HAS 120,000 MILES ON IT.

TIRES
DUE TO A MANUFACTURING ERROR OF A TIRE, I HAD A BLOWOUT ON THE INTERSTATE THAT ENDED UP TOTALING MY CAR. THE TREAD COMPLETELY SPLIT FROM THE TIRE WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT ANY COLLISIONS OR DAMAGE TO MYSELF OR OTHERS. THE BLOWOUT RIPPED OFF PIECES OF THE FRONT BUMPER, SOME SIDING OF THE CAR, AND CAUSED HUGE COSMETIC DAMAGE IN ADDITION TO WRECKING THE FRAME AND CAUSING SOME INTERNAL DAMAGE, INCLUDING A LEAK OF WIPER FLUID. MY CAR WAS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY (WITH 60,000 MILES) AND THE TIRE WAS A GOODYEAR WRANGLER ST TIRE WITH DOT # M671 EKER. (THERE WAS NO SET OF NUMBERS FOLLOWING THE EKER AS ON MOST TIRES, JUST A BLANK SPACE.)
