Steering Wheel Problems of Jeep Liberty

While driving down the main road in our town at 30mph driver heard a loud noise and then lost control of the steering in 2004 Jeep Liberty. The car was swerving and the driver had no control of the vehicle. The car went off the right shoulder of the road, scraped a metal mile marker and finally came to a stop. It has been determined that the left rear lower control arm had corroded and broken. This could have resulted in a very serious accident.

The rear trail arm rusted through and fractured making the Jeep nearly impossible to control. I had to call a tow truck.

My stepdaughter was driving her 2003 Jeep Liberty in her grandmother's driveway when she heard a loud thunk causing the vehicle to come to a stop due to the driver's side front tire separating from the vehicle. We changed the front driver side ball joint and control arm due to failure and tire separation from the vehicle. It was well that my step daughter was not travelling on the highway at a faster rate of speed because that surely would have ended with a more serious result. I see that there have been three recalls related to the control arm and ball joints. This particular vehicle was purchased from a private individual that actually had taken the vehicle in for the recall in 2006, but it seems that the problem has not been resolved. I'm very much concerned for my step daughter's safety while operating a motor vehicle and I hope that something can be done soon to correct this problem.

The dealer advised me that the pulling to the right is a charistic of vehicle and no solutions at this time. This pull is a constant pull and requires that we hold the steering wheel tightly towards the left to compensate for the right pull. This is a hazard and can easily cause over correction on turns because you are trying to compensate for the pull. Dt.

Consumer was traveling about 70mph on highway and without prior warning part of steering wheel fell on his feet while he was driving, and part of it was stuck under the accelerator pedal. Dealership was aware of problem.
