I noticed when driving my 2005 jeep liberty, when i came to a stop or pulled off, i would hear a noise underneath the back of my car, sounding like a jarring sound , like something was loose..my car's steering wasn't as relaxed as it should have been when turning especially..this noise kept getting louder, i eventually had it towed to the shop because of this problem and a issue with the thermostat..to find out my rear drive shaft had popped.

I have a jeep liberty 2005 sport they have a recall about the corrosion on my car and they don't want to to fix it. i am really scared on driving like that.

The front lower ball joints failed a second time and were replaced again per nhsta id # 06v-288 recall f23. the official mopar website says faq says that "q once the recall is completed, what is the warranty on the repair if the recalled component fails again? a if there is a subsequent failure, we will review the situation and if, in fact, it is for the same condition as the recall, fca us will repair the vehicle for free." i am being told by a fca case manager that there is a 2 year 24 month warranty on the parts installed as part of this safety recall. the mopar website faq makes no mention of this and i can not be told where to find this 2 year 24 month warraty. why isn't fca following their own policy stated to the public? why is fca being deceptive and inaccurate? how should this falsehood be addressed?

Rear control arm rusted

Here is the problem, will not schedule an appointment for the replacement rear lower control arms. this is a follow up complaint to the one i filed on 4-18-18, id# 11120806.on 1-4-19 i received a call from debbie of specialty parts about the original complaint. different from the first representative not knowing why the dealer wanted a inspection before ordering the control arms, debbie stated that was a corporate decision. ( you would think that having dealt with this recall in one form or another over the past seven years they could get this straight.) her reasoning was that fca had to inspect my vehicle and replace required parts before they could put on the new lower control arms. i asked what parts required inspection and she said my shocks .i told her those don't attach to the contro[ arm she then said that they would have to check my control arms and check the vin to verify i had not gone to a junk yard and replaced them myself. i asked her if she knew what the control arms were and she stated she was not a tech. she also told me that they do not tell their ...

Front right spindle went bad very early in life of car, and bar linkage with it. expensive fix. please issue recall!!!!

The steering got hard and felt like the ball joint on the control arms lock up ; the door locks cycle continuously and now driver door, left rear passenger door and back tailgate will not open, horn will not blow, radio will not work, and interior lights won't work. the steering problems happen while driving on highways and when making turns of any kind the slightest movement of the steering wheel will car is moving makes erratic navigation in anything other than a straight path. the door locks cycle on and off while driving and also not moving and without the car being started and is as rest without key inserted in the ignition cylinder. i am fearful for my grand children to ride in the car with me and very concerned of a failure that may jeopardize their safety.

Ball joints corrosion

Se siente muy inestable cuando condusco en especial no puedo ir a mas de 50 millas porque en curvas se siente peor su inestabilidad de camino a mi trabajo y de mi uso diario cerca de mi hogar no podria ir lejos girando se siente muy inestable no me suento segura

The front right and left suspension upper and lower control arms broke. i was backing down my driveway when this happened. i noticed the rear ones are under recall but not the front, nhtsa #18v-278. i had it towed to a auto shop and they want $2600 to repair.

u38 nhtsa recall # 18v-278 no dealer within 100 miles will honor the recall. said can't get parts or not available for scheduling or they didn't sell me the car. or they want to charge for the repair.

This concerns recall u38?nhtsa 18v-278 that says fca will replace both rear lower control arms. does not seem to be that straight forward. the attached file is the email received from fca and my original questions posted to them. i do not have a copy, but i replied to fca email asking whose recall is it, fca or their dealers? they did not address why different dealers are giving different infomation. i also asked what is the dealer going to inspect as it appears that the arms are corroding from the inside out. according to the recall paper work, fca says the arms must be replaced. why should i be required to do two dealer visits because the dealer wants it that way. fca is not taking ownership of the recall and is allowing different dealers to treat customers in very different ways, which amounts to no one is hooering the recall as printed.
