I HAVE A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY AND ON OCT. 7, 2003, I HAD AN INCIDENT IN WHICH MY STEERING WHEEL AND TIRES LOCKED UP DURING A LEFT TURN CAUSING ME TO TURN IN A FULL 360 FACING THE CAR THAT WAS BEHIND ME. THIS WAS ON A TUESDAY. ON FRIDAY, OCT. 10, 2003, I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN INTO A GAS STATION AND MY CAR SKIDDED CAUSING ME TO LOSE BRIEF CONTROL OF MY CAR AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO STRAIGHTEN UP THE CAR AND AVOID ANOTHER 360 AND POSSIBLE COLLISION WITH GAS PUMPS. LUCKILY, NO ONE WAS HURT AND THERE WAS NOT ANY PROPERTY DAMAGE IN EITHER SITUATION. AT THIS POINT, I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP ([XXX]) WHO TOLD ME IT WAS MY TIRES. I WENT TO GOODYEAR AND THEY SAID MY TIRES WERE FINE AND I SHOULD GO TO THE DEALERSHIP. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP BACK AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN AND THEY WOULD CHECK IT OVER BUT THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR AND I REALLY DIDN'T FEEL LIKE I RECEIVED GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE. MY REASON FOR SUBMITTING THIS NOW IS BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN ARTICLES AND MY MOTHER HEARD IT ON THE NEWS THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECENT RECALL ON 2002 JEEP LIBERTIES THAT MIGHT EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP TONIGHT AND ASKED THEM ABOUT A RECALL AND THEY DENIED THAT THERE IS ONE. I AM ALSO UNABLE TO FIND IT ON YOUR SIGHT ALTHOUGH THE ARTICLE I READ STATED IT AS BEING RELEASED BY YOU. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY THAT IT HAS NOT HAPPENED AGAIN BUT I DO NOT FEEL AS SAFE IN MY CAR AS I DID BEFORE THE INCIDENTS. PLEASE CONTACT ME AND LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL AND IF NOT, PLEASE DOCUMENT MY COMPLAINT. THE NEXT PERSON MAY NOT BE AS LUCKY. THANK YOU, [XXX]. *AK INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

RADIO/CD PLAYER QUIT WORKING AND THE DISPLAY BLINKS ON AND OFF WITH RADIO TURNED ON OR OFF AND NOTICED A CLICKING SOUND FROM WITHIN THE DASH. ALSO FROM TIME TO TIME THE DOME LIGHT WOULD COME ON WITHOUT INTERVENTION. *LA

THE AIR CONDITION (A/C) HOSE BROKE AND SQUIRTED OIL ON THE SERPENTINE BELT, CAUSING IT TO DETERIORATE AND BREAK. THE HOSE APPEARED TO BE CUT, WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT A STRAND OF THE BELT HAD BROKEN AND, BY CONSTANTLY WHIPPING THE HOSE, WHICH IS MUCH TOO CLOSE TO THE BELT, EVENTUALLY WORE THROUGH THE HOSE. I LOST BOTH POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY AT 60MPH. *LA

AS WITH MANY OTHERS ON THIS SITE, I HAVE BEEN HAVING DRIVE LINE VIBRATIONS AT AROUND 45-55 MPH; ALSO, PULLING TO THE RIGHT (AFTER 3 ALIGNMENTS!) WHICH CAUSE TIRES TO WEAR PREMATURELY. JEEP REALLY SHOULD FIX THIS STUFF FOR ALL OF US! *LA

WHILE DRIVING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STOPPED FUNCTIONING ,CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOSE BRAKE POWER/POWER STEERING/LIGHTS, AND ENGINE STALLING. DEALER HAS NOT DETERMINED THE CAUSE OF PROBLEM. *AK
