ORIGINAL OWNER DRIVES 5000 MILES PER YEAR, ERRANDS, STAY-AT-HOME MOM, PARKED IN GARAGE DURING VEHICLES LIFE. IN DEC 2014 TOOK TO DEALER FOR TIRE ROTATION AND BALANCE. WAS TOLD BALL JOINTS BAD ON BOTH FRONT WHEELS AND UPPER CONTROL ARMS NEEDED REPLACED @ 60,000 MILES. WHEN LIBERTY WAS BRAND NEW TOOK TO DEALER FOR RECALL F-22 AND WAS THERE MAYBE 30 MINS. WAS TOLD GOOD TO GO.... VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 65,000 AND HAVE RECEIVED SECOND OPINION FROM REPUTABLE MECHANIC WHO STATES THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS WORSE THAN PASSENGERS AND SHOULD BE REPLACED, THAT THIS IS EITHER A "FAILED RECALL" OR PREMATURE WEAR. WITH MY MILEAGE BEING SO LITE, THIS DEFECT WOULD HAVE INITIATED LONG BEFORE IT SHOULD HAVE. THE AVERAGE MILES A PERSON DRIVES IS 12000-15000 A YR WHICH WOULD HAVE PUT THIS DEFECT OCCURRING 3 YRS AFTER INITIALLY RECALLED. THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE FAULTY THEMSELVES OR JEEP ISN'T BEING HONEST ABOUT THE LIFE CYCLE OF THIS RECALL. I CANNOT BELIEVE A COMPANY WOULD ALLOW PEOPLE TO DRIVE VEHICLES WITH GAS TANKS READY TO EXPLODE AND BALL JOINTS ABOUT TO COME UNGLUED ANY MOMENT....

FRONT SUSPENSION:LOWER BALL JOINT WAS REPLACED 2006 IT HAS BROKE AGAIN WHILE PULLING INTO GARAGE BUT IS OUT OF RECALL FEEL IT IS DUE TO FAULTY REPLACEMENT PARTS. SHIFT INTERLOCK CABLE AND GEAR SHIFTER: CANT REMOVE KEY FROM THE IGNITION CALLED CHRYSLER NO RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS THEY WILL NOT REPLACE EVEN THOUGH IF YOU LOOK IN THE INTERNET THERE ARE LOTS OF JEEP LIBERTY OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE JERKED WHILE TURNING IN THE DRIVEWAY.

WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL POPPING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE BALL JOINTS FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 06V288000 (SUSPENSION); HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 200,000.

THE JEEP WAS BEING DRIVEN BY MY GRANDDAUGHTER LEAVING HER WORK AT STARBUCKS, WHEN SHE TRIED TO EXIT THE PARKING LOT THE RIGHT FRONT BALL JOINT DROPPED OUT AND THE JEEP SET DOWN ON THE A-FRAME AND STOPPED. HAD THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY SHE COULD HAVE BEEN BADLY HURT OR EVEN KILLED. CHRYSLER HAS A RECALL ON THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM FOR THE 06 JEEP LIBERTY BUT INSIST THAT A RECALL IS ISSUED BY VIN NUMBER, WHICH DOES NOT MAKE SENSE, THE BALL JOINT IS A VERY BAD DESIGN AND THE SHOULD RECALL ALL 2006 OR LATER MODELS WITH THIS CONDITION.
