Backing out of a parking spot, heard a clunking noise. Put in drive, turned the wheel and the vehicle tilted to the drivers side. Exited the vehicle to find the drivers side tire inverted and almost parallel to the ground. When tow truck lifted the vehicle, the front passenger tire also collapsed. Had vehicle fixed today. Had to replace both upper ball joints, and arms. Vehicle is only 5 years old, had never been off road and only had 59,000 miles. Repair shop owner said he has never seen both ball joints collapse and there is no reason why they should have, except for faulty parts.

My 2005 Jeep Liberty was involved in a rollover accident with 4 fatalities on 9 June 07. The incident took place at highway speed on an interstate highway with no other vehicles involved. The driver and one passenger survived the accident with multiple injuries. The four passengers in the back seat of the Liberty were not wearing seat belts and were ejected from the vehicle during the rollover event. The driver felt that she had no control of the steering just prior to the rollover of the vehicle. The incident is currently under investigation. The consumer also stated the air bag did not deploy. The consumer stated the was a nail in the tire that could have caused low tire pressure, contributing to the loss of control of the vehicle which may have resulted in failure of the upper ball joints. A recall was performed on the lower ball joints in may 2007. Updated.

I currently own a 2002 Jeep Liberty. As I was making a turn in the parking lot my car stopped and I saw my tire bent under my car the ball joints in my Jeep Liberty went 2 times on me. First the lower ball joints before the recall and then the upper ball joints the control arm and the axle failed on me just yesterday. The upper ball joint failure also caused a large puncture in my rotor and it bent my axle. I fear for the other Jeep Liberty owners; for instance what if this happened on a major highway causing the driver to lose total control? someone could have lost their life. This upper ball joint issue should be researched and recalled.

Upper and lower ball joints failed with less then 25000 miles on 2002 Jeep Liberty. 1j4gj58k82w159299.
