TAKATA RECALL LOWER CONTROL ARM BROKE BALL JOINT. ENHANCED CORROSION, 150K MILES CAR WAS IN REVERSE AT A GAS STATION AND THE CAR SHIFTED DOWNWARDS NO WARNING.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. RUNNING ROUGH NOT IDLING CORRECTLY. THERE IS NO POWER ON ACCELERATION, VIBRATES AND SMOKES. I TOOK IT TO TIRES PLUS 1ST TIME, COST ME $800 FOR DIAGNOSIS, COMPRESSION TESTS AND REPAIRS THEY SAY NEEDED TO BE DONE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. ABOUT A MONTH LATER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. TOOK JEEP BACK AND WAS TOLD THIS TIME THAT THE VALUE(S) ARE NOT SEATING. TOLD TO TAKE IT TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER DUE TO A SAFETY ISSUE. I RESEARCHED ON WEBSITES AND FOUND THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR 2004 - 2011 JEEP LIBERTY AS WELL AS DODGES. WHY HAVE THEY NOT ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS? THE ROCKER ARMS ARE POPPING OUT AND CAUSING HAVOC IN THE ENGINE. DEALER SAYS NO RECALL. CHRYSLER YOU KNOW YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WHY NOT FIX IT!! THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE!!

I DROVE FOR ABOUT AN HOUR ON A STEEP MOUNTAIN ROAD. SOMETIMES USING THE OVERDRIVE TO GO UP STEEP GRADES. THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT WORK. I MADE IT TO TOWN AND WAS ON THE MAIN ROAD STOPPED IN TRAFFIC. SUDDENLY, THE RPMS RACED AND THE JEEP ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, BUT HAD TO PUT IT IN PARK TO STOP IT, BUT NOT BEFORE IT HIT THEN TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS SHAKEN UP AND CHECKED THE FLOOR MAT TO MAKE SURE IT WAS NOT TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL. IT WAS NOT.

BROKEN RIGHT REAR CONTROL ARM. ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT,ALSO BROKE UNIVERSAL JOINT. NOW THAT I FIXED THOSE ISSUES , STEERING ON THE FRONT NOW IS GOING OUT

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, ROUGH IDLE, NO POWER ON ACCELERATION, VIBRATES, BURNS GAS, SMOKES.. HAD A COMPRESSION TEST DONE AND AT THE 3RD CYLINDER HAS A COMPRESSION OF 65.. DID SOME RESEARCH ON THIS AFTER WASTING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS AND IT NEEDS NEW VALVES AND ROCKER ARM. UPON DOING RESEARCH I FOUND PUT THAT JEEPS FROM THE YEAR 2001 ON UP TO 2012 ARE KNOWN FOR THIS PROBLEM! WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED? THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE NOT TO MENTION VERY COSTLY!!

ALL BUT ONE OF MY WINDOWS WILL ROLL UP OR DOWN BECAUSE OF THE WINDOW REGULATOR. THERE ARE RECALLS ON OTHER YEARS BUT NOT 2004 DUE TO MANY COMPLIMENTS.THEY SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THIS AND FIX THE ISSUE. THANK YOU.
