2 Driveshaft problem

There is a problem with the front drive shaft have been looking on internet to see if can find part and this looks like it has been a problem since at least 2005 with these vehicles I know mine has a rip in the boot and the front drive shaft has a lot of play in it I don't know if it could lock up and flip the vehicle or not but it really can not be all the safe and also the locks not working properly on them this is also a ongoing problem but mainly the drive shaft. You put it in four wheel drive and it sounds like you are going up a hill on a old wooden roller coaster would best describe it. The vehicle is not taken four wheeling only used when it snows and I have to use it.

3 Driveshaft problem

Failure Date: 11/30/2003

2003 Jeep Liberty ltd. Car vibrated at speeds of 55mph and above. Fox dealer, auburn NY was great, daimler-Chrysler was not. Changed all 4 tires and 3 wheels which didn't fix. Chrysler closed case "within mfg specs. . . ". Dealer continued to try to fix at their expense. Balanced both driveshafts which were out of balance. Still vibrated. Moved alignment of spline/differential. Didn't fix. Finally, daimler-Chrysler regional svc mgr offered a swap for a new car, but with me paying mileage over 8k. Ny lemon law allows 12k without mileage fee. I initiated lemon law proceedure. The day before arbitration daimler-Chrysler legal reps offered same terms I'd have won in arbitration. Got rid of Liberty at 11900 miles. Leased a grand cherokee. The verdict is still under consideration on this car.

4 Driveshaft problem

Failure Date: 05/29/2000

There is a humming noise coming from the truck when reaching 60mph also the Jeep vibrates at that speed. I have taken it to warnock in cedar knolls after spending more than 3 days back and forth they advised it was the driveshaft, left the Jeep with warnock only to find out that the condition is under investigation, so the truck is not fixed and I can't take it more than 60mph. .
