2004 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

I WAS APPROACHING THE ONRAMP,& AS I TURNED ON I HEARD A NOISE. THINKING I HAD A FLAT I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF TO CHECK MY TIRES UPON ROUNDING THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE I SAW LIQUID ON THE GROUND UPON BACKING UP A STEP I COULD SEE IT WAS MY GAS TANK WITH THE BROKEN BRACKETS. I THANK GOD THERE WERE NO SPARKS & THAT I WAS NOT YET @ SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE. I WAS TERRIFIED AS TO HOW CLOSE TO DEATH I POSSIBLY WAS. THEN I FIND OUT HERE THAT IT HAD HAPPENED 1 OTHER TIME (THAT'S REPORTED HERE) BUT NOT TO THE MANUFACTURER. NOW I'M OUT OF MY VEHICLE WHILE BEING REPAIRED AND OUT OF WORK TILL IT'S FIXED. THIS SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO COME OUT OF MY POCKET BUT WILL BECAUSE OF NEGLIGENCE. I ONLY WISH I HAD THOUGH TO TAKE PICTURES BEFORE IT WAS LOADED & TOWED TO THE GARAGE.

WE HAVE HAD THE LOWER BALL JOINTS FRONT REPLACED, THE REAR LOWER CONTROL ARMS REPLACED AND NOW THE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS ARE CORRODED AND SHOWING STRESS CRACKS.

NO RECALL ON THIS YET BUT THERE SHOULD BE AS THE REAR LOWER AND UPPER CONTROL ARMS ARE BOTH AFFECTED BY THE SALT AND INCLEMENT WEATHER IN MINNESOTA. THIS IS A HAZARD AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BY THE MANUFACTURER TO BE A SAFE VEHICLE. THE WHOLE REAR SUSPENSION SOUNDS LIKE IT IS ABOUT TO DISENGAGE FROM THE VEHICLE. 113,000 MILEAGE.
