2006 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

THE CLOCK SPRING ON THIS 2006 JEEP LIBERTY HAS BEEN BROKEN FOR MORE THAN TWO YEARS. THIS HAS DISABLED THE ABS SYSTEM, VEHICLE STABILITY PROGRAM AND THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM TO JEEP AND THEY ARE DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. THEY JUST CONTINUE TO SAY THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER. THIS IS UNSAFE AND SOMEONE MUST FORCE A MANDATORY IMMEDIATE SOLUTION IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS ALONE SINCE MAY 2015 THE BACKORDER HAS GROWN FROM 500+ TO 700+ AND NOW CHRYSLER WON'T EVEN RETURN MY CALL
