Grinding Noise Problems of Jeep Liberty

Was driving about 35 mph during rush hour when I heard a loud noise, followed by a grinding noise from the rear of the vehicle. Noise went away and I picked up speed returning to about 35 when vehicle lost all control of back tires. Fishtailed as if I was slipping on an ice patch. Was able to pull over without hitting anything but was very close to the car in the left lane. Mechanic told me the right trailer arm was completely rusted through and snapped. Left trailer arm also showed signs of corrosion and is very weak. Was about 2 miles from getting on the highway during rush hour. Could have been much caused an accident.

Groaning/grinding noise in the back wheels at slow speeds, mostly when leaving a parking garage, stop lights, parking lots. Brake pedals not depressed at the time. Noise increases when temperature is low and humidity is high. Noise started at 1,000 miles (less than a month after the date of purchase). Taken to dealership who at first could not duplicate the problem. I recorded the noise several times and played to the dealership service manager. In for repairs for the same purpose over 10 times during the 1st year, without success. Issue is now with Chrysler engineering who appears not to be in any hurry to fix the problem. Dealership does not follow-up and does not communicate on the status of this issue. Also never received the recall notice. Took the car in for the recall service after seing your notice, and was told it might take a couple of months for the recall notices to get out. It's been 6 months, and no recall notice as yet. Other issues with this car are another rattling noise that they can't fix. A weather strip on the driver's window that had to be replaced 7 times (so far) because it keeps coming loose. Excessive vibration when on the highway at speeds of 70 mph. Wind noise coming from every direction, can't hardly hear the radio. Radio quality is so bad I can't use it. Have to play cds instead. And Chrysler won't do a thing to remediate the problems.

Since purchasing in sept 02 have had vehicle in for service six times for numerous concerns, repeatedly for a clunking/grinding sound from the psgr sd ft, a severe pulling of the vehicle to the right, a vibration when driving hwy speeds, and intermittent engine misses. Dealership twice replaced the front end strut mounts which elimated the grind/clunk, but cannot ascertain the problem with the vehicle's instability (pulling) on the road nor with the engine misfires. An adjustment (off spec) to the alignment was performed by dealership which in turn caused the vehicle to pull to the left and also encouraged more steering vibration and worsened mpg - avg 13. 21 mpg where initially I got 18 -20 mpg. Dealership claims that b/c roads are angled for water runoff, this likewise keeps my vehicle from staying on the road (!?) am currently beginning to experience a clunking noise from rear passenger side wheel area, but have not yet brought it to dealer's attention.
