Received safety recall notice on April 20, 2010, and dealer is unable to get parts to fix the problem until July or August.
I received a recall notice from Chrysler (safety recall j17) a few weeks ago. I called my dealer to have it repaired, and he told me that Chrysler was only permitting them to have one recall kit installed per week, and that there was a waiting list. I am still waiting. Why did Chrysler issue a recall if they are not willing to fix it in a timely manner?.
Front left (driver's side) suspension collapsed while driving the vehicle.
It happened again yesterday! I have a Jeep Liberty 2002. My front passenger side wheel fell off while I was driving (with my kids) in a residential area:had it been on the highway, I know there would have been injuries. I have had two recalls. First recall 2004 and another at the end of 2007. January 2008 while I driving both front tires popped off (very scary), then second recall was done. Since this was supposedly taken care of, I thought that all was ok and then it happens again last night! why can somebody make Jeep find an answer before there is a fatality, or is this what hey are waiting for? the right number of deaths.

I have a popping noise in the front end of my 2002 Jeep Liberty 4wd. I took it to Jeep and after 2 days they took the front end apart and put it back together and the problem got much better but not completely gone. Is there a recall on this and do other people have this problem. My car has 55,000 miles on it.
Vehicle pulls to the right. Has been taken in for repair repeatedly. All dealership does is realign but does not look into why this keeps happening.
Consumer states that while driving at respective speeds of 30mph, 50mph and 60 mph or above, the vehicle shimmys excessively on the front end. Vehicle checked by dlr 3x who has been unable to determine cause of problem. Consumer stated shimmying is very distracting while driving and is very concerned that problem can not be diagnosed. Nlm.
Vehicle only has 19,900 miles on it and had 3 alignments due to the vehicle continually pulling to the right. Have brought to the dealership each time to fix but it continues to pull to right. Not only does this problem continue to exist but it is ruining my tires!!!!.
Everyday, there is a clunk from the front driver's side of the vehicle when backing out of a car port and while turning the wheel to straighten up at a low speed. Same noise has also been heard when going over bumps.
The suspension is so low in the front (only measures 5") that when you drive off road the rocks/sand fill up the skid plate and if left there could rub holes in the oil pan/mess up the boots on the suspension and possibly stop the suspension from functioning. If driving on slushy/frozen roads the vehicle would becme a ski. Is this an off-road vehicle as advertized or is it strickly an asphalt vehicle.
Have experienced harmonic noise and vibration in the floor board and center console. The vibration and noise are most apparent when decelerating from a higher speed down through 50 to 55 mph. The vibration and noise sound as if you have knobby all terrain tires on the vehicle when in fact you do not. The dealer had the vehicle for two days and made every effort to identify the vibration and noise. They found a slightly out of balance wheel, but the vibration and noise remain. Since then, I have driven two other Jeep Liberty vehicles, both of them having similar vibration and noise. Perhaps I have a discriminating ear being an engineer, but that does't explain why passengers also feel the vibration and hear the noise. I guess I am fortunate to have the 7 year/ 100,000 mile warranty on the drive train.
Since date of purchase vehicle pulls to the right while driving. Have taken it to the dealer and they checked it, but it still pulls to the right.
Within a year and a half, I had three windshield replacements. Insurance agent said with that many replacements, could be defect. Every time Jeep hit bump, would squeak. Took two dealerships 5 attempts to fix. Paint was peeling on grill, had repainted. Jeep constantly pulls to the right. Have had alignment and tire rotations, still not fixed. Latest, all four aluminum wheels are corroding due to them being manufactured with aluminum and steel. According to the dealership, the rims have been redesigned, but because my mileage is over 36, 000 miles, they are charging to replace them even though a dealer at the same dealership was having the exact same problem and had his replaced at no cost. Field district manager refuses to speak to me, who made the decision for me to pay. Can someone please guide me in the right direction. I need help. Cgray78@aol. Com.
The vehicle pulls to the right and several attempts have been done; it continues to pull to the right.
Dealer corrected defect . Auto workers should wake up on the line and do their job! no safety defect listed.
