THIS VEHICLE IS GIVING ME A BUNCH OF PROBLEM IN THE SUSPENSION, THE FIRST PROBLEM IS WITH THE FRONT WHEEL BALL JOINTS WHICH IS A RECALL, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS FIXED YEARS AGO BUT HOW CAN IT BE FIXED AND STILL DEFECTIVE? THEY ACCEPT THE CONDITION AND WERE WILLING TO REPAIR BUT ONLY THE LOWER BALL JOINTS BUT THEY SAID I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE UPPER BALL JOINTS WHICH IS OVER $1000, I DID NOT DO IT AND THE CAR DRIVES VERY UNSAFE, THERE IS A HEAVY VIBRATION IN THE WHEEL WHEN DRIVING OVER 30 MILES, ALSO THE BACK TIRES GOT WORN OUT EVERY 2 MONTHS AND I HAVE TO CHANGE THEM AND THEY SAID WILL CALL ME WHEN THE PART FROM THE FUEL TANK WILL BE AVAILABLE TO CHANGE IT BUT HASN'T HAPPEN YET IN MORE THAN 5 MONTHS. *TR

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS INCLUDING TODAY, MY 2004 JEEP LIBERTY HAS FALLEN OUT OF GEAR. PREVIOUSLY I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DOING ABOUT 60 MPH AND THE CAR SWITCHED FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN. TODAY THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT I WAS LEAVING WAWA TO GET COFFEE AND ON MY WAY TO WORK, AT THE RED LIGHT THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE, FOOT ON BRAKE AS ONE WOULD NORMALLY DO. WHEN THE LIGHT SWITCHED TO GREEN I LIGHTLY TAPPED THE ACCELERATOR/GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR SAT THERE FOR A MOMENT WITHOUT MOVING AGAIN AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. SO I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AGAIN ONLY THIS TIME THE CAR STARTED TO REVERSE, AS THE GEAR SHIFT CLEARLY SHOWED THAT I WAS AGAIN IN DRIVE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, THANK GOD BOTH TIMES THIS HAS OCCURRED THAT NO OTHER VEHICLE WAS BEHIND ME OR ELSE THEY MAY HAVE BEEN A FATAL ACCIDENT ESPECIALLY WHEN I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE READ ONLINE NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS WHERE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER JEEP OWNERS I AM VERY DISSATISFIED THAT IT SEEMS THERE WAS NO RECALL WITH THIS ISSUE AS FAR AS MY RESEARCH SHOWS. I DO HOPE THAT SOME ONE SINCERELY TAKES THE TIME TO LOOK OVER THE DATA AND ANY OTHER OCCURRENCES OF THIS ISSUE. *TR UPDATED 3/17/16 *JS

I HAD MY VEHICLE SERVICED AT EWALD CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE LLC IN FRANKLIN WIS TO ADDRESS SAFETY RECALL N46/NHTSA 13V-252. MY VEHICLE ORIGINALLY CAME WITH THE TOW PACKAGE AND A FACTORY INSTALLED HITCH. ACCORDING TO THE RECALL NOTICE I RECEIVED THE FACTORY HITCH WOULD BE INSPECTED AND THE TWO MOST REARWARD MOUNTING BOLTS WOULD BE REPLACED. THE DEALER DID NOT REPLACE THE BOLTS AND SAID THAT WOULD ONLY BE DONE "IF NECESSARY". AS THE RECALL NOTICE STATES THAT THE BOLTS WOULD BE REPLACED AND SAYS NOTHING REGARDING "IF NECESSARY" I AM WONDERING IF THIS RECALL WAS PERFORMED ADEQUATELY. *TR

I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALER FOR THE TRAILER HITCH RECALL 2 YEARS AGO. I HAVE BEEN CONTINUOUSLY TOLD PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. LAST TUESDAY 12-16 I FORCED THE ISSUE WITH THE DEALER FOR AN APPOINTMENT FOR FRIDAY 12-19. WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE, I WAS TOLD I DON'T QUALIFY BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAS SOME CORROSION. IF THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN, I WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED. THIS APPEARS TO BE A WAY FOR JEEP TO SHIRK ITS OBLIGATIONS. IF THERE IS ANY REPAIR NEEDED BEFORE PERFORMING THE RECALL, IT SHOULD BE JEEP'S RESPONSIBILITY, NOT MINE...UPDATED 05/14/15 *BF *TR UPDATED 9/11/2017*CN

ALL PROBLEMS HAPPENED ON CITY STREETS NO MORE THAN 15/20 MILES PER HOUR, I CANNOT IMAGINE WHAT WOULD'VE HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY. 1) SINCE OCTOBER (DO NOT RECALL DATE) THE FISHTAILING HAS HAPPENED 2 TIMES LIKE IT WAS ON ICE. 2) ONCE SLID TO THE LEFT ALMOST 1/2 CIRCLE; 3) SPINNING AND NOT ADVANCING/GOING FORWARD HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES EVEN BEFORE THE FIRST FISHTAILING INCIDENT (FOR A FEW YEARS NOW) AND IT HAPPENS GOING UP A HILL OR WHEN TRYING TO GO FORWARD AFTER STOPPING ON STOP/LIGHT, THE TIRES SPINS. *TR

CAR SMOKES AND SMOKE COMES INSIDE THE CAR. IT IS EXTREMELY NOTICEABLE WHEN IT IS SITTING STILL CAR FILLED UP WITH SMOKE. *TR
