This vehicle has a broken control arm. while the 2008 liberty is not under recall the 2004-2007 liberty is under recall for this same issue. i feel this recall should be expanded.
Tl* the contact owns a 2003 jeep liberty. while driving approximately 60 mph, the vehicle made a popping noise whenever it was turned. the contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the upper and lower control arms and ball joints failed. the manufacturer was notified. the dealer was not contacted. the failure mileage was 170,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. while driving approximately 25 mph and attempting to make a turn, a popping noise was heard. there was no warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was taken to autoland chrysler jeep dodge ram (973-298-5870, located at 170 u s 22, springfield township, nj 07081) where it was diagnosed that the upper and lower ball joints needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the vehicle was previously repaired per nhtsa campaign number: 06v288000 (suspension) and could not be repaired again for free. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 146,000.
I brought my car into the dealership for other recalls and was told that the front ball joints are very loose and that this is a safety related issue. i checked the nhtsa website and noticed that the year and make of my car had a recall for ball joint issues but my vin number wasn't included in the recall. i have a 2006 jeep liberty.
Front lower ball joints are damaged. causing a lot of noise and is safety hazard while driving. jeep dealer stated the ball joints were replaced back in 2007, 14 years ago.
I was leaving my parking lot when i heard a clunk and my driver side of the jeep lowered. i got out and looked and my tire was tilted at an angle. a couple of my neighbors looked under the jeep and said that it was the ball joint and that the axle was on the ground.
Front lower ball joints are damaged. causing a lot of noise and is a hazard while driving. jeep dealer stated ball joints were replaced back in 2007, 14 years ago.
Recall # 09v119000 recall date 04/09/2009 suspension: front: control arm and recall # 06v288000 recall date 08/03/06 suspension lower ball joint. vehicle has had problems driving with speeds over 15mph. heavy vibration and uneasy driving. dealer made a repair on one lower ball joint to satisfy recall but the problem is returning. i was informed that the recalls do not include my vin. the recalls are year and model specific. if the vehicle recall affected one control arm lower ball joint it should also apply to the other side. ball joints should be replaced in sets. both upper and lower control arm ball joints are part of these recalls. this can be a very dangerous situation for any driver if dealers can use vin number to disclaim necessary recalls on vehicles.
On oct 4, 2019, as i was driving straight at approximately 10 mph on a dry, smooth road, my driver's side lower front ball joint failed. the front of my car dropped as a result, and i was unable to control the vehicle. i did not strike any other vehicle or barrier of any kind.
