2002 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

2002 JEEP LIBERTY RECALL FOR LOWER BALL JOINTS. CONSUMER WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THE DEALER DENIED HIS CLAIM FOR THE REPAIR. THE CONSUMER HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR ON HIS VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS UNDER RECALL. *KB

LTR IN REGARDS TO THE RECALL SERVICES ON HER 2002 JEEP LIBERTY; SHE IS SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOW TO RESOLVE REPAIRS DONE TO HER VEHICLE. *KB THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAS A BAD VIBRATION WHEN COMING TO A STOP.

I BOUGHT A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY 6 MONTHS AGO. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL I RECEIVED 2 WEEKS AGO ABOUT LOWER BALL JOINTS BUT THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 OR 6 TIMES, WHEN THE ROAD IS WET AND I APPLY BRAKES I START TO SLIDE AND CANT STOP. ONE DAY I WAS GOING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AND ALL I COULD DO WAS SLIDE, I WASN'T EVEN ABLE TO MAKE THAT TURN. I HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS AND SEE THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, SHOULDN'T THIS BE A SAFETY RECALL. THIS JEEP HAS APPROX. 55000 MILES. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY. THE LOWER BALL JOINTS WERE REPLACED DUE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 06V288000 (SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT). WHILE PERFORMING THE REPLACEMENT, THE DEALER NOTICED THAT THE UPPER BALL JOINTS ALSO NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, HOWEVER, THEY WERE NOT UNDER A RECALL. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE UPPER BALL JOINTS. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 39,300.

IN NOVEMBER OF 2006, I HAD A RECALL FIXED FOR THE "FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT" WHEN THE PARTS BECAME AVAILABLE. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK 3 DAYS LATER HAVING ISSUES WITH THE STEERING AND HEARING A NOISE. THE DEALERSHIP TOOK THE CAR FOR A FEW DAYS AND DID A COMPLETE INSPECTION AND ASSURED ME THE NEW PARTS WERE SUFFICIENT. EVERY NOW AND THEN (NOT CONSTANT, BUT SCARCELY) WHEN I WOULD TURN THE WHEEL JUST A LITTLE, THE CAR WOULD TURN AS IF I HAD TURNED MY WHEEL ALL THE WAY. IT SCARED ME A FEW TIMES, BUT IT DIDN'T HAPPEN OFTEN AT ALL, SO I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT. ON MAY 31, 2007, I WAS MERGING ONTO I-91 IN CONNECTICUT DRIVING ONLY 22 MILES PER HOUR, AND MY CAR DID THAT VERY THING. I WENT UP AND OVER THE CURB, UP THE EMBANKMENT AND CRASHED INTO A STEEL CONNECTICUT STATE SIGN. IF IT WASN'T FOR THE SIGN, I WOULD HAVE CONTINUED TO LOSE CONTROL AND POSSIBLY BEEN KILLED. HITTING THE SIGN SWUNG MY BACK END AROUND, WHERE I ROLLED DOWN THE EMBANKMENT AND TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. MY CAR SUSTAINED OVER $7,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE AND HAS DAMAGED MY PERFECT DRIVING RECORD. NO OTHER CAR WAS INVOLVED AND NO ONE WAS HURT, INCLUDING MYSELF. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE, BUT I FEEL THERE NEEDS TO BE FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO THE PREVIOUS RECALL AND POSSIBLY A NEW RECALL SHOULD BE POSTED TO ELIMINATE THIS PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS DESPITE THE RECALL FROM LAST YEAR. *JB
