WE PURCHASED A USED 2006 JEEP LIBERTY LAST YEAR. LAST NIGHT WE WENT TO DRIVE IT UP THE ROAD AND THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE DISENGAGED FROM THE STEERING KNUCKLE AND THE BALL JOINT DISCONNECTED. LUCKILY ENOUGH WE WEREN'T DRIVING VERY FAST OTHERWISE IT COULD HAVE CAUSED INJURY CONSIDERING THE TIRE IS NOW ALMOST AT A 90 DEGREE ANGLE AND WE CAN'T MOVE THE CAR. I UNDERSTAND THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS IS 8 YEARS AFTER THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE DATE, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF I CAN GET A MANUFACTURER REPAIR DONE FREE OF CHARGE, AND WOULD RATHER HAVE IT DONE AT A DEALER KNOWING THEY WOULD HAVE THE CORRECT PARTS. NORMALLY MY 1 YEAR OLD IS IN THE CAR, LUCKILY HE WASN'T LAST NIGHT, BUT WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF I AM ENTITLED TO REPAIRS. *TR

THE CLOCK SPRING ON THIS JEEP HAS BROKEN AND HAS BEEN BROKEN FOR MORE THAN TWO MONTHS. THIS HAS DISABLED THE HORN, ABS SYSTEM, CRUISE CONTROL, VEHICLE STABILITY PROGRAM AND MOST IMPORTANTLY 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. *TR

THE VEHICLE SHIFT ASSEMBLY FOR THESE MODEL OF JEEPS FAILS TO OPERATE CORRECTLY. THE CABLE WILL NOT SET IN THE PROPER POSITION WHEN SHIFTED BACK INTO PARK, DISABLING THE OWNER'S ABILITY TO REMOVE THEIR KEY FROM THE IGNITION. THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REMOVE THE COVER COVERING THE SHIFT ASSEMBLY AND FORCEFULLY PUSH THE CABLE INTO PLACE TO RELEASE THE KEY. IN ADDITION TO THIS, THE SHIFT HANDLE CAN BE BUMPED AND SHIFTED INTO GEARS, OR INTO REVERSE OR PARK, WITHOUT THE BRAKE BEING PUSHED AS WOULD NORMALLY OPERATE THE ASSEMBLY. THIS CAUSES THE RISK OF ACCIDENTALLY BUMPING THE VEHICLE INTO A GEAR THAT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND RISK THE DRIVER'S LIFE. *TR
