Was going down a hill. didn't notice a stop sign. tried to stop but couldn't in time. took the corner and hit a tree with my passenger front corner and the jeep flipped on its side. smashed my face on the steering wheel shattering my jaw due to airbags not going off and seatbelts not locking. needed immediate surgery. they had to smash the front window to get me out of the vehicle.
Takata recall pulls hard to right and left steering is loose hard to keep on road bad ball joints and steering rack all having to do with steering.
Two concerns - the first being safety related. there is metal grinding noise when braking. all speeds - slow or fast, and in all "drives", two wheel or four wheel drive. no mechanics i have visited have been able to diagnose it. there are hundreds of other jeep liberty owners experiencing the same problem. i have spoken in person with several and read hundreds of complaints online of the same thing. secondly, three of my windows have now failed to operate. also a widespread jeep liberty issue with a piece in the lifting mechanism. the motors are operating just fine, but there is a piece inside the door that breaks and the windows fail to open or close thereafter. sometimes, a lifting mechanism spring-looking piece grinds upwards into the cabin of the vehicle when the "broken" window mechanisms are accidentally activated. also concerned these spring mechanisms could snap in the cabin and cause extreme harm.
Fuel tank straps rotted & broke off
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 jeep liberty. while driving 15 mph, the contact noticed an abnormal noise underneath the vehicle. upon inspection, the contact noticed that the lower control rail on the front passenger side fractured. the contact also noticed corrosion underneath the vehicle. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 129,000.
While driving, the sunroof motor assembly suffered a catastrophic failure while closing. the plastic rail assembly made a loud cracking sound and the glass wedged firmly against the roof, half open. this occured shortly after my replacing all 4 door window regulators (for the second time) due to what can only be described as negligence in the engineering design of the plastic carrier assembly that cannot support the load of the window as it is intended to. the failure to properly design these components has led to the windows falling into the door unexpectedly while driving, each time causing an unnerving distraction to me as a driver, and unnecessarily endangered myself and the general public in the vicinity when these events occurred. it appears there are countless instances of this issue being described on line, and a recall needs to occur.
