In Dec 2006 I received and safety recall f23 with a request to register with the dealer for a problem that - quote: . . . Can result in a loss of steering control and could cause a crash without prior warning. Serious _ serious enough for me to be concerned. I use this car not only to go to work every day but also to transport my children to events and so on. Yet the service manager at patrick-Jeep, rochester, NY says that I am on a waiting list (since Dec 2006) but he is not able to get me in because Chrysler has not issued any parts to correct this problem!? I find this unacceptable, that after a release of a recall, the parts for the necessary repair are not available. Is there any outlook to get this fixed in the near future? wilhelm nagel.

Have recall on my Jeep Liberty 06v288000 it was issued in Aug 2006 it is now Dec 2006 the manufacture has not made the parts available to the customer. I call each week and they state part will be shipped and we will call you when we have them. If this was bad enough to have a recall the manufacture should make the parts available.

2003 Jeep Liberty, left lower ball joint separated causing wheel to nearly separate from vehicle. Vehicle repaired by Chrysler. Since repair there has been loud noise when steering wheel is turned. Brought back to repair facility to be inspected. Informed that the lower control arm bushings cracked causing failure. This seems to be related to another material defect as the control arm sleeves are pressed as were the ball joints. I contacted Chrysler and they stated there is no recall at this time. The vehicle is three years old and for two major material failures at the same time seems to be a serious problem. Is there any others who have complained of this problem?.

The Jeep was being driven by a family member. She was driving straight on hwy 99 and felt the front right side drop a little and heard a squealing tire. It then began to swerve side to side growing increasingly out of control until it spun and hit the center median coming to rest in the fast lane. The body shop found a broken tie rod end lower ball joint and bound knuckle it the front. Some of that would be from the impact on the guard rail. Chp identified the cause of collision as mechanical failure. There was a recall on the lower ball joints and I had that work done at the dealer. All work on the Jeep was done by the dealership. I have contacted daimler Chrysler and they are sending some one to look at it.

A clunking noise in the front end of the vehicle. Took it to the dealer last year and they said they couldn't find anything. Wrong. Currently, took vehicle to an independent mechanic, who determined it was the tie rod end on the right front side. Vehicle was out of warranty.
