I was driving down the freeway at 70 mph, and suddenly my car (2006 Jeep Liberty) felt as if the rear end was dragging and I began to lose control of my vehicle. The icy Michigan conditions were no help, but thankfully the drivers surrounding me were attentive and moved out of the way until i was able to regain control and pull onto the shoulder. I had my vehicle towed to a shop, where i was informed the rear control arm had fractured and in turn damaged the rear axle. I found out there was a recall for this EXACT problem on my car, a blessing because my family is struggling very badly financially. BUT, Chrysler says my vehicle's VIN is not listed on the recall and it is not their problem. Not only is this extremely dangerous for all drivers of these effected vehicles, but my kids missed school today because I don't have a functioning vehicle. Manufacturers need to be held accountable and publicly announce ALL VEHICLES THAT COULD BE EFFECTED, not whichever number of vehicles pleases public relations.

The front lower ball joint on the passenger side broke in half which caused my tire to completely separate from the car. Luckily it happened in my driveway, but I had just gotten off the interstate going 75 mph. After replacing it, a closer inspection was done on both upper front ball joints and the driver side lower ball joint. All need replacement. It was a near miss crash, but mine and others safety is still on jeopardy because I can't afford to replace all of them. I haven’t received any recall information in the mail from the manufacturer.

The rear lower control arms on my car are about to break. One has holes all the way through. At 40 mph, vehicle shakes in back. Issue also causes stability control to malfunction. No Jeep dealers that I can use will make appointments before 06/27 even after being shown the terrible condition of the parts. Nor do they offer a loaner car. I contacted Jeep themselves and was offered NO manner of accommodation or compensation. I drive for a living, so I can either risk my safety, or give up two weeks income, and job, waiting for Jeep and it's dealers to fix defective equipment. If Jeep and their dealers are unable/unwilling to fix dangerous recalls in a timely manner, they should either afford customer a rental car, or offer to buy the vehicle at market value. I would have accepted either, and not filed this complaint, had I been offered.

Haven't been towed or repaired yet.

My back rear control arms/suspension/alignment were recalled, I had them replaced. Now My front control arms/suspension/alignment are very unsafe to drive. Wobbly, unstable, loose, noises, screeching. It Feels like it’s going to break/snap/fall off. Yes my vehicle is available for inspection. I feel unsafe on turns especially. It could snap at any moment and my Jeep could roll injuring me or others. I had a tire/allignment center check the status. No warning lights or messages. The sound and issue has been going on since I got my jeep recall fixed. The dealership hit the front of my Jeep in the parking lot and still has not taken responsibility for their actions and damages done to my Jeep. It was evaluated from Jeep’s body/auto shop estimating at outer damage 1,500$ + and they have not inspected the damage caused to the control arm/suspension/alignment from the employee hitting me Jeep into something moments before returning my Jeep from a recall-fix. Jeeo still has yet to take responsibility for the damages caused. I have not felt safe since then. The steering has been wobbly, the turns make noise and shudder like the wheel is going to break off/fall off or worse snap. I have tried numerous attempts to get these issues resolved with Jeep Liberty of San Diego Camino del rio s. With no responsibility taken from them for the damages they have caused making me Jeep unsafe to drive.

HAVE ALREADY FILED A COMPLAINT. UPDATING INFORMATION. COMPLAINT #11105312. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED 9 DAYS AFTER THE CUTOFF FOR THE 2006 RECALL # 06V288000. MY VEHICLE HAD THE FAILURE OF THE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM BALL JOINT. IT WAS NOT ART OF THE 2006 RECALL HOWEVER, IT IS PART OF THE CURRENT RECALL FOR THE REAR LOWER CONTROL ARM BALL JOINTS. THE ORIGINAL CUTOFF BUILD DATE WAS MARCH 15, 2006. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED JUST 9 DAYS LATER ON MARCH 24, 2006. IT SEEMS FAR TOO MUCH A COINCIDENCE THAT MY VEHICLE HAS THE SAME REAR BALL JOINTS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO RECALL AND REPLACEMENT, WHICH CHRYSLER HAS DONE, BUT THE FRONT BALL JOINTS WERE NOT COVERED IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL. I WAS GOING 35MPH WHEN THE PART FAILED. THE FAILURE CAME WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND WAS INSTANTANEOUS. THE BALL JOINT BROKE AND INSTANTLY PIERCED THE ALLOY RIM AND DEFLATED THE TIRE. HAD I BEEN GOING 70MPH, I WOULD HAVE FLIPPED AND ROLLED INSTANTLY. FURTHERING THE ISSUE IS AS BEST I CAN DETERMINE, THE FRONT AND REAR BALL JOINTS ARE THE SAME PART. I AM REPORTING THAT SINCE MY INITIAL COMPLAINT, I FOUND OUT MY VEHICLE WAS BUILT A MERE 9 DAYS AFTER THE ORIGINAL RECALL CUTOFF DATE.

ORIGINAL OWNER DRIVES 5000 MILES PER YEAR, ERRANDS, STAY-AT-HOME MOM, PARKED IN GARAGE DURING VEHICLES LIFE. IN DEC 2014 TOOK TO DEALER FOR TIRE ROTATION AND BALANCE. WAS TOLD BALL JOINTS BAD ON BOTH FRONT WHEELS AND UPPER CONTROL ARMS NEEDED REPLACED @ 60,000 MILES. WHEN LIBERTY WAS BRAND NEW TOOK TO DEALER FOR RECALL F-22 AND WAS THERE MAYBE 30 MINS. WAS TOLD GOOD TO GO.... VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 65,000 AND HAVE RECEIVED SECOND OPINION FROM REPUTABLE MECHANIC WHO STATES THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS WORSE THAN PASSENGERS AND SHOULD BE REPLACED, THAT THIS IS EITHER A "FAILED RECALL" OR PREMATURE WEAR. WITH MY MILEAGE BEING SO LITE, THIS DEFECT WOULD HAVE INITIATED LONG BEFORE IT SHOULD HAVE. THE AVERAGE MILES A PERSON DRIVES IS 12000-15000 A YR WHICH WOULD HAVE PUT THIS DEFECT OCCURRING 3 YRS AFTER INITIALLY RECALLED. THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE FAULTY THEMSELVES OR JEEP ISN'T BEING HONEST ABOUT THE LIFE CYCLE OF THIS RECALL. I CANNOT BELIEVE A COMPANY WOULD ALLOW PEOPLE TO DRIVE VEHICLES WITH GAS TANKS READY TO EXPLODE AND BALL JOINTS ABOUT TO COME UNGLUED ANY MOMENT....

[XXX]: COMPLAINT ABOUT JEEP BACKING PLATES: 2006 JEEP LIBERTY VIN # [XXX].I AM WRITING ABOUT A SAFETY PROBLEM WE ENCOUNTERED OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS. ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS; 8-13 AND 9-3-15 I ALMOST DROVE OFF THE ROAD WHEN SUDDENLY MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE,LOUD, CLAMORING NOISE OCCURRED, WHICH MADE IT IMPERATIVE THAT I PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD/AWAIT ASSISTANCE. THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE BACKING PLATES HAD CORRODED AND RUSTED TO SUCH A SEVERE DEGREE THE CAR WAS INOPERABLE WITHOUT EXPENSIVE REPAIRS (557.97 EACH TIME).THE CLOSE TIMING OF THESE INCIDENTS SHOW THAT THE LIFESPAN OF THESE PARTS WERE NOT MADE TO LAST. JEEP DECLINED THE REQUEST TO REIMBURSE EXPENSES PAID, AND FAILED TO ADDRESS THE BIGGER SAFETY CONCERN. I WORRY SOMEONE WILL NOT BE AS LUCKY WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURS. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN A VEHICLE <10 YRS OLD USED SOLELY AS A PASSENGER VEHICLE, IS MADE OF SUCH POOR QUALITY PARTS THAT THEY LITERALLY RUST OFF THE VEHICLE WHILE IT IS IN TRANSIT. IN DOING RESEARCH ON THE EXTENT OF THESE BACKING PLATE ISSUES, I SEE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN A SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS FROM A QUALITY, FINANCIAL, AND SAFETY PERSPECTIVE, YET I SEE THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO RECTIFY THIS ISSUE. IT IS MY VIEW THAT I SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS QUALITY ISSUE BEFORE I ALMOST HAD ACCIDENTS TWICE WITHIN A 3 WEEK PERIOD. THIS MAKE AND MODEL HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT OF SEVERAL CONSUMER SAFETY RECALLS, I AM SURPRISED THAT THIS HAS BACKING PLATE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN BROUGHT TO ATTENTION OF OWNERS SO THAT IT COULD BE RESOLVED IN AN EXPEDITIOUS MANNER AT THE COST OF JEEP CORP. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT THEIR COMPANY WAS AWARE OF AND PARTS SHOULD NOT ?ROT? OFF QUALITY VEHICLES. JEEP RESPONDED ON 9-29-15 AND FAILED TO MENTION THE SAFETY ISSUE RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM.

WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS OF THE JEEP LIBERTY 2006 THAT HAD A RECALL ON THE BALL JOINTS AND STABILIZER BARS IN 2006. OF COURSE, WE HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED WHEN THE JEEP WAS ONLY A FEW MONTHS OLD. IT MAY HAVE HAD LESS THAN 1000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. WHEN VISITING THE DEALER ON DEC 2, 2014 FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND TIRE BALANCE. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE BALL JOINTS ON DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SIDE OF JEEP WERE IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT AT A COST OF 1100.00 (WE ONLY HAVE 61,600 MILES ON JEEP) I WAS SHOCKED THAT A VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT AND ONLY DRIVEN BY THE MOM OF THE FAMILY AROUND TOWN OF ABOUT 6000 MILES A YEAR COULD INCUR SUCH A DRASTIC PROBLEM. THIS IS A VALID SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE INTEGRITY OF THE RECALL. THE REPAIR SHOULD HAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY OR AT LEAST 100K MILES. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY, THESE BALL JOINTS DISINTEGRATED WITHOUT BEING FAULTY FROM THE BEING. MY QUESTION LIES IF MY VEHICLE WAS REALLY TAKEN CARE OF, OR WAS IT JUST LOOKED AT BECAUSE IT WAS BRAND NEW AT THE TIME. OUR LIBERTY HAS HAD FULL SYNTHETIC OIL CHANGES AND TREATED WITH THE UTMOST CARE. SO IT REALLY SADDENS ME THAT CHRYSLER HAS SUCH "SAFETY" ISSUES. OF ALL THINGS THAT CAN GO WRONG WITH A CAR, WHEN IT REFERS TO A PREVIOUS RECALL, IT'S OBVIOUS THE ISSUE WAS NEVER REALLY ADDRESSED. *JS
