I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC WHEN I FELT THE REAR OF THE CAR SUDDENLY SHIFT AT LEAST A ONE FOOT TO TWO FEET. IT FELT AS IF I HAD BEEN HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. I DROVE APPROXIMATELY 500 FEET WHERE I COULD PULL INTO A PARKING LOT. I CHECKED MY TIRES AND LOOKED THE VEHICLE OVER. I DID NOT LOOK UNDER THE CAR. I GOT BACK INTO MY CAR WHICH HANDLED VERY POORLY. I DROVE ABOUT ONE HALF MILE TO MY DESTINATION, GOT OUT OF THE CAR AGAIN AND CALLED MY HUSBAND, EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED AND ASKED HIM TO COME LOOK AT MY VEHICLE. MY HUSBAND LOOKED UNDER THE CAR, THE LOWER REAR CONTROL ARM HAD BROKEN ALMOST ALL THE WAY THROUGH AND RUSTED. MY VEHICLE WAS MOVED TO MY DAUGHTERS HOUSE (SHE LIVES ONE MILE FROM MY DESTINATION, I LIVE 25 MILES FROM MY DESTINATION) THE CAR IS PARKED UNTIL I AM ABLE TO GET IT REPAIRED. PICTURES TAKEN SHOW THAT THE DAMAGE IS FROM A CORRODED PART THAT SHOULD NOT BECOME CORRODED. THIS PART FAILURE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MANUFACTURER. MINUTES BEFORE THE INCIDENT I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE DRIVING 70 MILES PER HOUR. IF THE PART HAD BROKEN THEN, I AM CERTAIN IT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT MOST LIKELY INVOLVING OTHER VEHICLES AND INJURIES. *TR

2004 JEEP LIBERTY WINDOW REGULATORS. REPLACED LEFT REAR WINDOW REGULAR ($450) IN 2009. REPLACED LEFT REAR WINDOW REGULATOR IN JULY, 2010 AT COST OF $96 (GOODWILL WARRANTY). RIGHT REAR WINDOW REGULATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BUT HASN'T BECAUSE OF COST. NOW FRONT LEFT WINDOW REGULATOR HAS TO BE REPLACED FOR $350.
