2003 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

TAKATA RECALL I AM STEADILY BURNING THROUGH FRONT DRIVE SHAFT ASSEMBLIES WHERE IT GOES INTO THE TRANSFER CASE. THE BEARING HEAD KEEPS FAILING BY THROWING THE BEARINGS THROUGH THE ASSEMBLY, I HAVE OWED THE VEHICLE FOR 2 YEARS AND HAVE REPLACED IT TWICE WITH THE SAME PARTS FAILING. THE PART SEEMS TO JUST GO WITH NO WARNING AND WHEN THE ASSEMBLY COMES APART IT WOULD LEAVE THE FRONT SHAFT SPINNING SINCE THE JEEP HAS FULL TIME LOCKED HUBS WHICH COULD CAUSE IT TO GO THROUGH THE FLOORBOARD OR SEND BULLET TYPE PROJECTILES THROUGH THE ASSEMBLY METAL WHICH COULD DAMAGE OTHER COMPONENTS
