My liberty has 3 recalls, 2 having do with big safety issues- fire and tires detaching. i first called planet dodge (miami, fl) for service appt.; gave vin and advised of recalls- surprise! when i arrived for my appointment; they said the parts were on back order! today i called tamiami jeep to make an appointment and was told 1) it's very dangerous as tires may detach 2) they have some parts, but not some bolt, if that is required! question- if these are mandatory recalls and on such potentially safety compromising parts- how can the parts be on back order for 3 months!! (this will be my first visit to tamiami for service appt-but was already advised not all parts available- what's the use of making a appointment if they is a nationwide of a part to repair a recall? what happens if my tires detach or my car has "underbody fire" as per my most recent notice? i would appreciate a reply via email and i would like somebody to investigate how service departments can run out of parts that have mandatory recalls. i was not told at planet dodge how serious this was and have been driving around waiting for the parts to arrive.(lower ball joint). *nm

(1) front right side of jeep liberty dropped down on tire (2) tire was flat and jeep ran off road (3) investigator only looked for open pot-hole or construction and did not look for any defective situation. ball joint defect was reported to public over 5 months later. i kept the tire which has unusual slicing through the inside edge with a few penetrations within that area and all perfectly lined up with each other. i took pictures of the tire assembly area in case there would be any indication of faulty parts. investigator only sited tire hit something and blew out as told to me by the state farm claim agent. follow-up of this case was rejected by same claim agent because ball joint is not available to inspect. my complaint to them saying they are not reviewing the evidence i did show them including pictures from the scene which i still think show if their was a failure of this nature or not. they have another claims agent looking into it now. until they follow this up i consider this accident to be falsely reported to your agency. *nm
