2006 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

THIS IS REGARDING A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. DRIVING THE JEEP ON A HIGHWAY GOING APPROX. 65-70MP, SOMETHING BROKE UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE FRONT END HAD BROKEN DOWN ALMOST TO THE GROUND, BUT WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT CRASHING. HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC ESTIMATE REPORTED THERE IS MAJOR CORROSION IN THE BALL JOINT, THE CONTROL ARM-R&R 4WD UPPER, BOTH SIDES NEED REPLACEMENT, AXLE SHAFT CV ASSEMBLY R&R TRANSMISSION TYPE 4-WHEEL ABS BOTH SIDES. BALL JOINT-R&R 4WD LOWER, BOTH SIDES, CONTROL ARM WITH BALL JOINT-FRONT UPPER, BALL JOINT FRONT LOWER, CONSTANT VELOCITY (CV) DRIVESHAFT-FRONT LEFT NEED NEW. WAS TOLD THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL BECAUSE THE RECALL WAS FOR REAR CONTROL ARM FRACTURE (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V278000) CAUSING CORROSION IN BALL JOINT. NOT THE FRONT CONTROL ARM.

RECEIVED A RECALL FOR A SAFETY ISSUE. TOOK JEEP TO DEALERSHIP IN MNT HOME, THEY CONFIRMED MY JEEP WAS PART OF THE RECALL AND NEEDED TO ORDER THE PARTS. I INFORMED THEM THAT I TRAVELED 45 MIN ON THE FREEWAY 80MPH FOR WORK SO IT WAS URGENT TO FIX. THEY SAID THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK WITH AN APPOINTMENT EARLY THE FOLLOWING WEEK(THIS WAS ON 7/11). THEY NEVER CALLED BACK. I HAVE CALLED THEM NUMEROUS TIMES. ONE GUY TOLD ME I WASNT EVEN IN THEIR SYSTEM AND SAID HE WOULD CALL OTHER DEALERS TO TRY AND GET THE PART. EVERYTIME I CALL NOBODY IS AVAILABLE TO TAKE MY CALLS. ITS A SAFEY DRIVING ISSUE AND NOBODY HAS THE PART??? MY VEHICLE IS GETTING WORSE AND IS NOW AT A POINT WHERE YOU CAN HEAR IT CRACKING OR SNAPPING AND SCARY TO DRIVE AS IT IS ALL OVER THE PLACE AND SWERVY.
