| 2003 | SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT | RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE ON JEEP LIBERTY ON OCTOBER 27,2006 AND BEGAN CALLING DEALERSHIPS FOR INFORMATION AND TO SCHEDULE A REPAIR. THIS WAS AFTER CALLING DAIMLER CHRYSLER FOR NAMES OF DEALER SINCE OURS HAD GONE OUT OF BUSINESS. I CALLED FOUR DEALERSHIPS WITHIN MY DRIVING AREA (35MILES) NOT ONE OF THEM OFFERED TO TAKE MY NAME, NUMBER OR ANY OTHER INFORMATION. I WAS TOLD ABOUT THE PARTS BEING ON BACK ORDER AND TO CALL BACK IN A WEEK OR 2. THIS IS WHAT I DID AND AGAIN WAS TOLD THE SAME I AGAIN CALLED D/C AND THE CUSTOMER REP TOLD ME AGAIN ABOUT THE PARTS BEING BACK ORDERED AND THAT EACH DEALER ONLY RECEIVED 1-2 A WEEK, THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE SHE COULD DO. WELL I HAVE BEEN CALLING EVERY WEEK SINCE FRIDAY THE 27TH OF OCTOBER AND FINALLY ON THURSDAY NOVEMBER 30TH A SERVICE PERSON WAS WILLING TO TAKE MY NAME AND PUT IT ON A WAITING LIST. BUT MY QUESTION IS FOR HOW LONG? MY AUTO IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION AS LIKE OTHERS, SHOULD I HAVE AN ACCIDENT WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR OR ANY INCIDENT AT ALL WITH THEN IN THE CAR, DAIMLER CHRYSLER WILL NOT HAVE HEARD THE LAST OF ME. I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE 2 FRONT TIRES FOR REASONS NO ONE COULD EXPLAIN (THEY HAD WORN SO BAD ON THE INNER TREAD) AND HAVE BEEN KEEPING CLOSE EYE ON THE NEW ONES. CAN'T AFFORD TIRES B/F THEY ARE NEEDED EITHER. AND WILL THE DEALER MAKE SURE MY CAR IS ALIGNED AND BALANCED? SINCE THIS WILL BE DISRUPTED BY THE REPAIR OF THE LOWER BALL JOINTS? I JUST WANT TO BE SAFE, I HAVE LOVED MY LIBERTY SINCE BUYING IT AND MY SON IS LOOKING FORWARD TO DRIVING IT IN A COUPLE OF YEARS. BUT DO I ALLOW HIM TO? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOU HELP AND TIME. ANY AND ALL ASSISTANCE WILL BE GOOD. *JB |
