AIR BAGS, SUSPENSION
TWO ISSUES AS FOLLOWS; 1) THE LOWER FRONT BALL JOINTS HAD DETERIORATED AND MAKE A LOUD POPPING AND CLUNKING NOISE WHEN TURNING AT LOW SPEEDS. OUR MECHANIC SAYS THE LOWER FRONT BALL JOINTS HAVE COMPLETELY FAILED, CREATING A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE. 2) THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON, DOES NOT TURN OFF.

I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR OTHER RECALLS AND WAS TOLD THAT THE FRONT BALL JOINTS ARE VERY LOOSE AND THAT THIS IS A SAFETY RELATED ISSUE. I CHECKED THE NHTSA WEBSITE AND NOTICED THAT THE YEAR AND MAKE OF MY CAR HAD A RECALL FOR BALL JOINT ISSUES BUT MY VIN NUMBER WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
WHEN STARTING MY CAR IT DRIVES OKAY, BUT IF LET RUNNING ALL THE LIGHTS COME ON, AND IF I DRIVE 5 MINUTES DOWN THE ROAD IT GOES OFF AND THEN BINGS AND ALL COMES BACK ON. I AM BEING TOLD IT MAY BE MY CLOCKSPRING AND MOST 2008 JEEPS ARE EXPERIENCING THAT AFTER 100,000 MILES BUT IT IS NOT A RECALL ISSUE. I HAS THE CHECK ENGINE ON CONSTANTLY AS WELL AS THE AIRBAG SENSOR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2008 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED IS UNLOCKING ON ITS OWN WHICH IS CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD. MY SON REMOVED THE FUSE, THE DOOR HAS TO BE LOCKED MANUALLY. THE ONLY DOOR THAT DOES NOT LOCK IS THE REAR TAILGATE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PARKED IN THE YARD, AT WORK, PARKING LOTS AT THE MOVIES, THE MALLS, ETC. AND WHEN I RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE IT IS UNLOCKED. PLEASE ADVISE YOUR REMEDY TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE TO KEEP THE VEHICLE SAFE AND LOCKED AT ALL TIMES.

ENGINE
I HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO GET LOOKED AT BY JEEP TWICE PRIOR DUE TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING AND WAS INFORMED ALL IT NEEDED WAS A SOFTWARE UPGRADE, WHICH WAS COMPLETED. AFTER THE FIRST TIME THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME AND STAYED ON SO I RETURNED TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT BY THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AGAIN. I WAS TOLD IT WAS SAFE AND DRIVABLE. THE NEXT DAY I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR WHEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN TO BLINK AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. I HAD TO CAR TOWED BACK AND WHEN IT WAS LOOKED AT AGAIN AND I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THE HEAD WAS WARPED DUE TO THE CAR OVERHEATING. I HAVE OWED THE VEHICLE FOR 60,000 MILES AND IT HAS NEVER ONCE OVERHEATED. I AM UNSURE IF THE ENGINE RAN HOT (THE NEEDLE USUALLY SAT HALF WAY BETWEEN THE "HOT" AND "COLD" ENDS. NOW THAT I HAVE HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE I AM NOTICING THIS VEHICLE RUNS COOLER THAN MY LAST AND I AM WONDERING THE ENGINE ON MY FORMER VEHICLE WAS IMPROPERLY ENGINEERED/MANUFACTURED AND I WAS SOLD A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. THEY EMPHASIZED THAT THE OVERHEATING HAD TO HAVE OCCURRED MORE THAN ONCE FOR THAT TYPE OF DAMAGE TO OCCUR. DEALERSHIP WANTED $8000 TO REPAIR/REPLACE.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE IS ATTRACTIVE AND FUNCTIONAL. AIR BAGS PROBABLY SAVED THE WIFE'S LIFE IN A T BONE ACCIDENT. THE AIR CONDITIONER AND HEATER WORK GREAT. THERE IS TOO MUCH PLASTIC...EVERYWHERE! SEATS ARE UNCOMFORTABLE ON LONG TRIPS. WATER PUMP LOCKED UP WITH JUST OVER 50K MILES. TRANSMISSION IS SELF DESTRUCTING AT 62K MILES THIS MONTH. IT SEEMS THE TRANSMISSION HAS NO DIP STICK FOR THE OWNER TO CHECK THE FLUID. IF IT DID THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM COULD HAVE BEEN NOTICED SOONER. NOW WE MUST PAY FOR A TRANSMISSION AND LABOR BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY, $4K! THE VEHICLE GETS REGULAR USE IN COUNTY, CITY AND HIGHWAY TRIPS. ON NICE PAVED TEXAS ROADS. IT IS WELL MAINTAINED AND ONLY DRIVEN BY TWO ADULTS, AGE 72.I BELIEVE THERE IS A QUALITY ISSUE WITH THE DRIVETRAIN PARTS. WE HAVE OWNED OTHER JEEPS. THEY HAD THE OLD RELIABLE INLINE 6CYL ENGINE AND THREE SPEED TRANSMISSION. VERY RELIABLE.
