GOT A FLAT TIRE AND NOTICED THAT MY TWO FRONT TIRES WERE WEARING EXTREMELY UNEVENLY (BOTH TIRES LOOKED FINE ON OUTSIDE, REALLY WORN ON INSIDE). BEEN NOTICING SOME SLIPPING IN THE STEERING WHEEL FOR ABOUT A MONTH, GETTING WORSE THROUGHOUT THE MONTH. AAA CAME TO FIX THE TIRE AND SAID THE BALL JOINT LOOKED BAD AND THAT THEY "SEE THIS ALL THE TIME ON THESE VEHICLES." I HAD ALREADY HAD F23 DONE ON THIS CAR WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX THE LOWER BALL JOINTS BUT PROBABLY DIDN'T AND NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL CALLED J17 WHICH COVERS THE UPPER BALL JOINTS WHICH FOR SOME REASON DIDN'T APPLY TO MY VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS BUILT IN MAY 2001 AND THE AFFECTED VEHICLES WERE BUILT MAY-SEPT 2002. I SUSPECT MY VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN PART OF THAT RECALL, ESPECIALLY AFTER WHAT AAA SAID AND WHAT THEY SAID AT THE REPAIR SHOP, THAT THEY SEE FAULTY BALL JOINTS ON THESE ALL THE TIME. WHY WAS MY DEFECTIVE CAR NOT INCLUDED? DID JEEP REALLY MAKE THE CARS WORSE AFTER MAY 2002 OR IS IT MORE LIKELY MINE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM? THIS OMISSION HAS LED TO AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS CONDITION AND UNRELIABLE STEERING. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR SINCE WE BOUGHT IT A YEAR AGO. A/C EVAPORATOR WENT BAD OUT OF NOWHERE, HIT A BUMP WHICH CAUSED ONE OF MY BRAKES TO SNAP, SOMETHING THAT'S INEXCUSABLE WITH AN SUV, IT'S JUST REPAIR AFTER REPAIR. *TR

THESE JEEP LIBERTY'S ARE KNOWN FOR THERE POOR SUSPENSIONS. THE ONE ON THIS VEHICLE IS NO DIFFERENT. THE LOWER BALL JOINTS WERE RECALLED IN 2006. 25000 MILES LATER THEY ARE NO GOOD AGAIN. EVEN THOUGH IT HAS BEEN EIGHT YEARS, THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. I DID FIND THE PROBLEM BEFORE THERE WAS A SERIOUS INCIDENT. THE UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS ARE BOTH IN NEED OF REPAIR. A LOT OF THESE JEEP LIBERTY'S WERE RECALLED FOR THERE BALL JOINTS BUT THEY ALL SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED WITH SOMETHING BETTER. *TR
