| 2004 | SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT | TL* - THE CONTACT CALLED REGARDING A 2004 CHRYSLER JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED RECALL LETTER 06V288000 FOR THE LOWER BALL JOINT. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DAIMLER CHRYSLER DEALER, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PART DID NOT ARRIVE. AND SHE WOULD BE CALLED WHEN THE PART ARRIVED. THE CONTACT HAS NOT EXPERIENCED ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE AT THIS TIME. THE VEHICLE HAS 17, 914 MILES. *AK UPDATED 02/27/07. *JB |
| 2004 | SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT | DROPPED KIDS AT THE MOVIES AFTER TRAVELING ON THE SAW MILL PARKWAY AT 50 MPH. WENT TO A SHOPPING PLAZA AND PARKED. RETURNED AN HOUR AND A HALF LATER AND WHEN I TRIED TO PUT MY JEEP LIBERTY IN REVERSE AND MOVE OUT FROM THE SPOT MY FRONT DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL FELL FORWARD WHILE MAKING A VERY LOUD GRINDING SOUND AT THE SAME TIME. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP AND THE TOW TRUCK OPERATOR SAID HE SEES A LOT OF THIS WITH THE 2003 AND 2004 JEEP LIBERTY'S. SINCE I AM UNDER WARRANTY THEY ARE FIXING THE PROBLEM. I INVESTIGATED THIS ONLINE AND THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS ON THE 2002 AND 2003 JEEP LIBERTY'S BUT NOTHING ON THE 2004'S. I FOUND A SITE ONLINE WHERE PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE VERY SAME PROBLEM. JUST BY TYPING IN THE SEARCH BOX "PROBLEMS WITH 2004 JEEP LIBERTY'S." MY CONCERN IS THAT THERE MAY BE PEOPLE DRIVING THIS MODEL AND MAY HAVE A WHEEL COME OFF. I WAS LUCKY SINCE MINE OCCURRED AFTER I PARKED. THE DEALER CALLED ME TODAY AND SAID MY JEEP IS READY TO BE PICKED UP AND THAT THE BALL JOINT AND THE AXLE WAS REPLACED AND THAT I SHOULDN'T WORRY BECAUSE THEY REPLACED IT WITH AN UPDATED BALL JOINT -- THE BEST THAT THEY HAVE AND THE SAME TYPE THAT WAS USED ON THE RECALLS FOR THE 2002'S AND 2003'S. SO I GUESS THEY WILL REPLACE IF THE WARRANTY IS STILL VALID AND IF NOT, PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. I WANT TO KNOW WHY THEY ARE NOT PUTTING INTO PLACE A RECALL FOR THE OWNERS OF 2004 VEHICLES? SOMEONE MAY BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN KILLED DUE TO LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF THIS FAULTY BALL JOINT PROBLEM. AS A RESULT OF THE BALL JOINT BREAKING - THE AXLE BROKE AND THE BRAKE LINE WAS PUNCTURED. *JB |
