2002 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

THANKS GOD THERE WAS NO CRASH OR DAMAGE YET. I'VE FOUND OUT THAT IT IS RECOMMENDED TO FULFILL SAFETY RECALL FOR MY JEEP LIBERTY. I CALLED MOSCOW DEALER "MUSA-MOTORS" (WWW.MUSA-MOTORS.RU) AND THEY SAY THAT "THEY DO NOT DO RECALLS ON HOLIDAYS" THEY ONLY DO THE WORK, WHICH WILL COST ME MONEY. IT IS NOT GOOD BECAUSE F23 RECALL - IS LOWER BALL JOINTS REPLACEMENT THAT MEANS SAFETY. AND IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ME OR MY FAMILY YOU'LL BE IN CHARGE OF. THAT'S WHY, I'M ASKING TO STOP MUSA-MOTOR'S DEALING LICENSE AS A JEEP DEALER. *NM

THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE WAS DRIVING UNDER DRY WEATHER CONDITIONS AT 30 MPH WHEN NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE BECAME HARD TO STEER AND BEGAN TO SHAKE. SHE THEN PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE VEHICLE'S POWER OFF. WHEN SHE SUBSEQUENTLY TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE THE ENGINE SEIZED. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER, AND THEY TOLD HER THAT SHE NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. THE CONTACT EXPLAINED THAT SHE NEEDED THE RECALL WORK DONE, BUT THEY WOULD NOT DO RECALL REPAIRS BECAUSE OF THE ENGINE FAILURE. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THAT THE BALL JOINT FAILURE CAUSED THE ENGINE FAILURE. *AK

MY JEEP LIBERTY 2002 WAS RECALLED FOR "REPLACEMENT OF POSSIBLE BALL JOINT CORROSION". I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP DON WHITE'S TIMONIUM JEEP DEALER, AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE DEALERSHIP RECEIVES ONLY 3 SETS FROM JEEP PER WEEK AND I WOULD THEREFORE BE WAITING FOR APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS FOR THE REPLACEMENT. I FELT THIS WAS NOT TIMELY. I CALLED THE DAIMLER CHRYSLER QUESTION LINE AND WAS TOLD THE SAME INFO. I DO NOT THINK ANY RECALL FOR SAFETY ISSUES SHOULD WAIT FOR MONTHS TO REPAIR. SURELY BALL JOINTS CAN BE ACQUIRED FORM ANOTHER SOURCE? *NM
