[XXX]: COMPLAINT ABOUT JEEP BACKING PLATES: 2006 JEEP LIBERTY VIN # [XXX].I AM WRITING ABOUT A SAFETY PROBLEM WE ENCOUNTERED OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS. ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS; 8-13 AND 9-3-15 I ALMOST DROVE OFF THE ROAD WHEN SUDDENLY MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE,LOUD, CLAMORING NOISE OCCURRED, WHICH MADE IT IMPERATIVE THAT I PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD/AWAIT ASSISTANCE. THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE BACKING PLATES HAD CORRODED AND RUSTED TO SUCH A SEVERE DEGREE THE CAR WAS INOPERABLE WITHOUT EXPENSIVE REPAIRS (557.97 EACH TIME).THE CLOSE TIMING OF THESE INCIDENTS SHOW THAT THE LIFESPAN OF THESE PARTS WERE NOT MADE TO LAST. JEEP DECLINED THE REQUEST TO REIMBURSE EXPENSES PAID, AND FAILED TO ADDRESS THE BIGGER SAFETY CONCERN. I WORRY SOMEONE WILL NOT BE AS LUCKY WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURS. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN A VEHICLE <10 YRS OLD USED SOLELY AS A PASSENGER VEHICLE, IS MADE OF SUCH POOR QUALITY PARTS THAT THEY LITERALLY RUST OFF THE VEHICLE WHILE IT IS IN TRANSIT. IN DOING RESEARCH ON THE EXTENT OF THESE BACKING PLATE ISSUES, I SEE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN A SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS FROM A QUALITY, FINANCIAL, AND SAFETY PERSPECTIVE, YET I SEE THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO RECTIFY THIS ISSUE. IT IS MY VIEW THAT I SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS QUALITY ISSUE BEFORE I ALMOST HAD ACCIDENTS TWICE WITHIN A 3 WEEK PERIOD. THIS MAKE AND MODEL HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT OF SEVERAL CONSUMER SAFETY RECALLS, I AM SURPRISED THAT THIS HAS BACKING PLATE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN BROUGHT TO ATTENTION OF OWNERS SO THAT IT COULD BE RESOLVED IN AN EXPEDITIOUS MANNER AT THE COST OF JEEP CORP. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT THEIR COMPANY WAS AWARE OF AND PARTS SHOULD NOT ?ROT? OFF QUALITY VEHICLES. JEEP RESPONDED ON 9-29-15 AND FAILED TO MENTION THE SAFETY ISSUE RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM. I ATTACHED THEIR LETTER VIA ATTACHED FILE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ABS SYSTEM GOES OUT WHICH IN TURN MAKES THE CRUISE CONTROL GO OUT. THEN WHEN YOU USE THE VEHICLE AGAIN THE ABS IS ON SO IS THE CRUISE CONTROL BUT THE BRAKES DON'T WORK WELL AND GRAB. THEN WHEN YOU ARE USING THE LIGHTS AT NIGHT IT DIMS FOR NO REASON INSIDE AND OUT. STILL WAITING ON THE FIX FOR THE REAR END FUEL TANK ISSUE

TODAY THE JEEP DEALER SAID THE FRAME RAIL WAS NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO INSTALL THE HITCH AS CALLED FOR IN THE RECALL. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER COMPLAINT LINE AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING CHRYSLER CAN DO. SO NOW I MUST DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE, HOW CAN I SELL IT, OR EVEN TRADE IT IN. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO NOW? I READ THAT VEHICLES LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD COULD BE PURCHASED BACK. THESE JEEPS WERE RECALLED FOR REAR SUSPENSION COMPONETS RUSTING UP SO NOW THAT THE FRAMES IS RUSTING I HAVE TO DRIVE A DEATH TRAP. I AM WONDERING HOW MANY TIMES CHRYSLER IS USING THESE EXCUSES IN ORDER TO NOT DO ANYTHING. ONE COULD EVEN THINK THIS RECALL WAS CRAFTED IN SUCH A WAY THAT CHRYSLER COULD GET OFF USING THESE EXCUSES WHAT ARE THE PEOPLE IN MY SITUATION SUPPOSED TO DO????

2006 JEEP LIBERTY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO NO REPLACEMENT PARTS TO COMPLETE FUEL TANK RECALL NOTICE. *SMD

CANNOT FILL GAS TANK WITHOUT GAS SPEWING OUT EVEN IF TRYING TO FILL IT VERY SLOW. I'M ONLY ABLE GET A FEW DOLLARS IN A TIME, BUT ALWAYS END UP TAKING A "GAS BATH." ALSO WHEN I PURCHASED THE JEEP LIBERTY IN 2009 I CANNOT LET THE GAS AUTO FILL OR IT WILL "SPLASH OUT" WHEN IT CLICKS OFF. I HAVE TO WATCH IT FILL AND SHUT OFF AT 16.5 GALLONS OR LESS IF COMPLETELY EMPTY OR I'LL HAVE A MESS ON MY HANDS.

ON SEPTEMBER 2, 2015 I BROUGHT MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY IN TO A DEALERSHIP, BENSON CHRYSLER, IN GREER SC FOR A REAR STRUCTURE REINFORCEMENT RECALL REPAIR. AFTER BEING LEFT AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 4.5 HOURS, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE RECALL REPAIR COULD NOT BE COMPLETED DUE TO A LARGE AMOUNT OF RUST ON THE BOLTS. I WAS TOLD BY THE MANAGER, BRAD THAT MORE THAN ONE TECHNICIAN LOOK AT THE CAR AND DETERMINED IT COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP IN DESPAIR WITH MAJOR CONCERN BECAUSE THE RECALL INVOLVES A CHANCE OF THE JEEP FUEL TANK LEAKING DURING A REAR END COLLISION WHICH COULD RESULT IN A FIRE. NOW AS A MOTHER AND WIFE I CANNOT IMAGINE CONTINUING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE KNOWING THE AT ANY GIVEN TIME I COULD LOSE MY CAR AND POSSIBLY THE LIFE OF ME AND MY FAMILY. PLEASE HELP ME BY ADDRESSING THE ISSUE OF HOW CHRYSLER PLAN TO HANDLE THIS RECALL. I STRONGLY FEEL IT SHOULD NOT BE IGNORED BY SUGGESTING ME TO CONTINUE DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT POSE SUCH A GREAT DANGER . YOUR ATTENTION IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. UPDATED 11/02/15.*JB
