general problems of the 2005 Jeep Liberty - part 2

An ongoing problem with the fuel gauge is that whenever I fill up I can drive about 20 miles (more or less) and then all of a sudden the engine light and gas light come on and the fuel gauge goes all the way to empty. Which can be pretty scary the first time you see it happen and you're going 75 mph on the interstate. The second problem is the suspension. Any time I turn the steering wheel it creaks. Riding over even barely bumpy roads causes my car to creak and groan. It shakes horribly when driving between 50-55 or even idling but gets better when I take my foot off the gas, apply the brakes, or go at higher speeds.

When driving faster than 15 mph, when I would take my foot off the accelerator or brake, the car would swerve violently and randomly to the right or the left even though I was not turning the steering wheel. This is the exact same issue in NHTSA campaign number: 12v085000, but my vehicle was not included in this recall.

I was traveling 70 mph on the freeway when I very slightly let off the accelerator as I came over a bridge. At that point, part of the Jeep wanted to go straight and the other part wanted to go off the road. It truly felt like the Jeep was going to roll. I slowed down and managed to keep it going straight until I could safely pull off the freeway. Had it towed to my dealer who informed me that the left rear lateral arm connecting axle to the frame rusted through and became disconnected. They also said that the right lateral arm is close to rusting though as well. Although the lateral arms were on backorder from Chrysler, the dealer managed to find one from another dealer and replaced the left arm. We agreed to order the right lateral arm and replace it before it too becomes disconnected.

I had just pulled off of the highway and had stopped. I pulled on to the city street when I heard a noise. I at first thought I had a flat tire. And when I was trying to pull off to a side street my Jeep had started to slide sideway into the other lane. I could not control the Jeep. I felt like I was sliding on something. Thank goodness no one was next to me or coming in the other lane or I would have caused an accident. I got my Jeep stopped and then made my way back into the other lane and turned down a side street to get out of the way. When I got out I looked on the passenger side looking for a flat. But no flat. I could see that the rear tire was slide back close to the under side of the wheel well. I could see that something had broke. I called my husband and when he got there and looked under he could see that the rear trailing arms had both broke. That they were rusted through. We had to have the Jeep towed to a dealer that was close by. They had verified that they had rusted through. In all the years that I have been driving I have never had this happen to me before. I was just very thankful that I had gotten off the highway before this broke. I know that if this would have happened at a much higher speed I could have cause a terrible wreck. I can not believe after seeing all of these complaint for the exact same thing that there has not been a recall. How can a manufacturer of cars let something like this continue. The day this happened was a clear dry day. To have this happen I could have seriously hurt myself or some other people. What are they waiting for. Some one to be killed.

While driving on a private street, heard a "pop" near the back of vehicle. I stopped and checked to see if I had a flat, as the car was swerving as if I had a flat tire. However, upon inspection, tire was fully inflated but it was rubbing the back of the wheel well. The wheel was off-center and the vehicle itself was lower to the wheel. I proceeded to pull into my driveway. After viewing underneath the vehicle, noticed the rusted broken arm of the suspension system (left rear). The other side is rusted and cracked as well (right rear). Fortunately I was travelling in a subdivision at a slow rate of speed. Otherwise I feel had I been on a busier highway at higher rate of speed, may have lost control as the car was swerving while I was only doing 20mph and under.
