RECALL R06: THE AIR BAG ON MY 2003 JEEP DEPLOYED ON MY DAUGHTER WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE AIR BAG HIT HER IN THE CHEST AND FACE. I CALLED THE JEEP CUSTOMER LINE TO LET THEM KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG. I INFORMED THEM THAT I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG. THEY TOLD ME THE RECALL WAS FROM 1/2015. IN 2015 I TOOK MY JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP 2 DIFFERENT TIMES FOR RECALLS I HAD RECEIVED. JULY 2015 AND SEPTEMBER 2015. SO EVEN IF I DIDN'T GET A RECALL NOTICE THE DEALERSHIP STILL SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE AIRBAG RECALL WASN'T DONE. I HAVE BEEN GOING THREW HELL TRYING TO GET THE FCA GROUP TO FIX THE AIRBAG AND DO THE RECALL. THIS IS THE RESPONSE THEY EMAILED MY AFTER I TOLD THEM WHAT HAD HAPPENED (THIS WILL FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE CONTACT TO FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES (FCA), REGARDING YOUR 2003 JEEP LIBERTY. NATURALLY, WE WERE SORRY TO LEARN OF THE INCIDENT DESCRIBED TO US DURING THE INITIAL CONTACT. HOWEVER, WE HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW YOUR CASE AND MUST INFORM YOU THAT WE ARE NOT LED TO BELIEVE THAT THE INCIDENT WAS DUE TO A MANUFACTURING RESPONSIBILITY.) THIS WAS UNACCEPTABLE MY DAUGHTER COULD HAVE CRASHED THE JEEP AND DIED!! WHY WOULD I LIE ABOUT NOT GET A RECALL NOTICE THAT INVOLVES AN AIRBAG IN 2015 BUT I HAD 3 OTHER RECALLS DONE IN 2015 AFTER THE AIRBAG RECALL BUT NO ONE NOTICED IT WASN'T DONE!!!

TAKATA INDLATORS: THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AFTER STARTING VEHICLE AND NOW IT WILL NOT GO OFF IN MOTION

A RECALL WAS MADE FOR JEEP LIBERTY FOR THE CONTROL ARMS UPPER AND LOWER AND THE BALL JOINTS. I WAS TOLD MY VIN DID NOT HAVE THE RECALL. HOWEVER, OTHERS HAD THE RECALL AND JEEP PAID FOR THE REPAIRS. AFTER THE REPAIRS THE WHEEL HUB WENT BAD, AND A RECALL WAS MADE FOR THAT BUT NOT MY BASIC MODEL. AFTER REPLACING THE WHEEL HUB THE DRIVESHAFT WAS DAMAGED BY ALL THE ISSUES. A RECALL FOR THE SAME VEHICLE WAS MADE FOR A DRIVESHAFT AND AGAIN THE BASS MODEL WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THIS TIME JEEP SAID THEY WOULD FIX THE DRIVESHAFT AND WHEN IT CAME TIME THEY DENIED IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2003 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING ON A BACK ROAD, THE VEHICLE FLIPPED AND CRASHED AFTER THE CONTACT OVER CORRECTED THE STEERING. THE VEHICLE FLIPPED THREE TIMES. THE CONTACT WAS EJECTED FROM THE VEHICLE AND BECAME TRAPPED UNDERNEATH. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED AND HAD TO BE TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL WITH INJURIES TO THE NECK, BACK, EYES, FACE, AND SKULL. THE CONTACT WAS HOSPITALIZED FOR TWO MONTHS AND IN A COMA FOR THREE WEEKS. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AND TOWED. THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CRASH OCCURRED DUE TO AN UNKNOWN RECALL PERTAINING TO THE AXLE BEING MANUFACTURED TOO SHORT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNKNOWN.

I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE IN THE QUICK CHEK PARKING LOT AFTER I CAME OUT OF THE STORE TO GO TO WORK AND I HEARD A BIG BANG THUMP. I IMMEDIATELY PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND LOOKED AROUND THINKING MAYBE SOMEONE WAS BEHIND MEBUT THERE WAS NOT. I HAD A FEW GUYS PUSH THE VEHICLE SLOWLY TO ANOTHER PARKING SPACE ABOUT 200 FT AWAY TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND PUT INTO PARK AGAIN. I IMMEDIALTELY CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO COME TO HELP ME AFTER I LOOKED UNDERNEATH THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE TO SEE THAT THE WHEEL WAS NOT ATTACHED TO THE FRONT SUSPENSION UNDER THE VEHICLE. A FLATBED CAME AND TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED A WRECKER TO LIFT AND ALSO DOLLIES TO GET THIS VEHICLE TO THE CLOSEST AUTOMOTIVE FACILITY NEARBY. ONCE THERE THE NEXT DAY THEY INSPECTED IT AND TOLD THAT I NEEDED A LOWER AND UPPER BALL JOINTS AND ALSO CONTROL ARM FOR THIS VEHICLE. I CALLED FCA CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE ABOUT THIS MATTER AND WAS TOLD THAT IF I WAS TO TOW IT TO ONE OF THERE FACILITIES THAT IF THE RECALL ON IT THAT WAS DONE IN 2007 WAS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THEY WOULD ADDRESS THIS MATTER AND FIX IT FREE OF CHARGE AND IT WOULD BE COVERED FOR THE RECALL FOR THE MOST PART.

THE "AIR BAG" WARNING LIGHT WILL RANDOMLY STAY ON AFTER A KEY ON AND START. IT DOES NOT TURN OFF FOR THAT DURATION OF THE VEHICLE BEING TURNED ON. THE SUSPENSION BALL JOINTS IN FRONT ARE FAILING AGAIN SINCE THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED ONLY 20K MILES AGO. WITH ONLY STREET DRIVING INVOLVED.

WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY AT 65 MPH THE UNOPENED SUNROOF BLEW OFF THE VEHICLE. WEATHER CONDITIONS NORMAL. THE VEHICLE HAD NO BODY DAMAGE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHOOK WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE AND HUBS; HOWEVER, THE ENGINE STILL FELT AS IF IT WOULD FALL OUT OF THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEMONTROND CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (888 I-45, CONROE, TX 77304) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVESHAFT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 190,000. *TT VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED.*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT UPON INSPECTING THE UNDER BODY AND FRAME OF THE VEHICLE CONCERNING THE SUSPENSION, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE REAR CONTROL ARM BRACKET FRACTURED FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE FRAME. THERE HAD BEEN EXTENSIVE RUST AND CORROSION ON THE FRAME, THE LOWER CONTROL ARM AND THE ROCKERS PERTAINING TO THE REAR AXLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

THIS WEBSIITE IS SHOWING 0 RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE WHEN ENTERING IN THE VIN#, YET I KNOW THERE WERE AT LEAST 3. SO IS THIS NOT A RELIABLE RESOURCE OR WHAT? I FOUND THE RECALLS DOING A CAR FACTS CHECK, YET THIS GOVERNMENT WEBSITE SAYS THETE ARE NONE.

VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE IN ANY DIRECTION EXCEPT REVERSE. WE DROVE TO A STORE AND WHEN REVERSING OUT OF PARKING SPOT, THE VEHICLE SEIZED IN REVERSE AND WOULDN'T SHIFT TO DRIVE INITIALLY. WE MANAGED TO DRIVE HOME AND PULLED INTO DRIVEWAY. WHEN WE WENT INTO REVERSE TO ADJUST VEHICLE POSITION, IT WOULDN'T MOVE WHEN WE SHIFTED TO DRIVE. WE HAD TO DRIVE CAR IN REVERSE AROUND OUR LOOP IN ORDER TO PARK CAR. WE JUST HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP AND ARE NOW WAITING TO FIND OUT COST TO REPAIR. I AM READING ABOUT NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OVER THE COURSE OF YEARS WITH NO RECALLS ESTABLISHED OR OFFERS OF REPAIR. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A COMPANY TO BE AWARE OF AN ONGOING ISSUE AND NOT EXTEND REPAIR SOLUTIONS.

ON MAY 28TH, 2018, I WAS DRIVING MY 2003 JEEP LIBERTY TO SEE A FRIEND. I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED SPONTANEOUSLY. FORTUNATELY I WAS ONLY GOING 10 MPH AND DID NOT SUFFER MAJOR INJURIES, BUT I WAS CUT UP AND CONCUSSED FROM THE FORCE OF THE AIRBAG. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO ATLANTIC JEEP CHRYSLER IN EGG HARBOR TWP NJ. THEY TOLD ME I WOULD BE GIVEN A RENTAL CAR AND AN INVESTIGATION WOULD NEED TO BE DONE. I WAITED 6 WEEKS TO GET MY CAR BACK, AS THEY KEPT PUSHING ME WHEN THE INVESTIGATION WOULD FINISH. DURING THIS TIME I WAS UBERING TO MY TWO JOBS, AS THEY NEED PROVIDED A RENTAL CAR. THEY SAID CHRYSLER WOULD COVER THE RENTAL ONCE I GOT MY CAR BACK AND TO PROVIDE RECEIPTS. SEEING HOW THIS COMPANY OPERATES, I KNEW THIS WOULD NOT BE THE CASE. THEY EVENTUALLY DECIDED TO DO NOTHING ABOUT MY CAR. IT WAS A TINY CHIP THAT MADE THE AIRBAG DEPLOY (THEY ADMITTED IT WAS AN ISSUE) BUT THAT THEY WOULD ONLY REPLACE THE CHIP. I WAS LEFT WITH 2.4K IN REPAIRS TO MY CAR. THEY REFUSED TO PAY FOR ANYTHING, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS THEIR CHIP FAILURE THAT MADE THE AIRBAG GO OFF IN THE FIRST PLACE.

ON 8-15-2018, I (DRIVER/OWNER OF A 2003 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT) WAS LEAVING MY PARKING SPOT AT A CONVENIENCE STORE. WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE, IT IMMEDIATELY STARTED SPEEDING BACKWARDS. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES WITH ALL THE FORCE I COULD MUSTER, IT FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE TIRES WERE SQUEALING & BLACK TIRE MARKS WERE LEFT ON THE PAVEMENT. MY VEHICLE STOPPED WHEN I SLAMMED INTO THE FRONT END OF A PARKED CAR WHICH WAS NEXT TO A GAS PUMP WITH THE DRIVER INSIDE. FORTUNATELY NOBODY WAS HURT. NO POLICE REPORT WAS FILED BUT MY INSURANCE COMPANY WAS CALLED IMMEDIATELY TO REPORT IT. "TAKATA RECALL" I WENT TO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP (BLUEBONNET JEEP IN NEW BRAUNFELS,TX.) WITH THE RECALL NOTICE IN HAND. THE EMPLOYEE IN THE DRIVE-UP SERVICE LANE CALLED THE OFFICE TO VERIFY IF PART WAS IN STOCK. IT WAS NOT. SHE MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR 2 WEEKS FROM THAT DATE. I RETURNED WITH MY VEHICLE ON MY SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT DATE & WAS NOTIFIED BY A DIFFERENT EMPLOYEE THAT PART(S) WERE STILL NOT AVAILABLE & WAS TOLD THAT AN INDIVIDUAL NEEDED TO INSPECT MY VEHICLE FIRST BUT HE DIDN'T KNOW WHEN THE INSPECTOR WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO DO IT. I TOLD THAT EMPLOYEE THAT THEY WEREN'T SERIOUS ABOUT REPLACING THE PART(S) NEEDED. SO I GOT BACK IN MY CAR & DROVE HOME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING OUT OF A PARKING LOT, THE LOWER BALL JOINT FAILED AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S HOME.

AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS BLINKING ON AND OFF WHILE STANDING AND DRIVING

TOOK MY LIBERTY TO MY MECHANIC BECAUSE IT STARTED MAKING A HORRIBLE SOUND UP FRONT WHEN EVER I MADE A TURN. UPON INSPECTION MY LOWER BALL JOINTS HAD DISINTEGRATED, CRUMBLED INTO THEIR HANDS. THEY COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW LUCKY I WAS THAT IT DID NOT BREAK WHILE DRIVEN. NOTHING WAS HOLDING IT IN OR TOGETHER. COME TO FIND OUT THERE ARE RECALLS ON BOTH THE UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. I HAVE HAD THE LOWERS FIXED AND PAID FOR WITH LIFETIME WARRANTED PARTS. I NEED REIMBURSED FOR THE LOWER $488.27. THE UPPER BALL JOINTS ALSO MUST BE FIXED ON A SEPARATE RECALL THAT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF. DO THESE PEOPLE HAVE ANY IDEA HOW BLOODY AND DEVASTATED AN ACCIDENT WOULD BE WHEN YOUR WHEEL SHEARS OFF AND THERE IS NO STEERING? IT'S CALLED FLIPPING THE FRINGING JEEP OVER!!! NOT ONLY IS IT UNACCEPTABLE THAT I WASN'T NOTIFIED BUT I COULD HAVE KILLED MY FATHER AND OTHERS IN AN ACCIDENT. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME STRAIGHT UP IF I HAD GONE OVER A BUMP OR TURNED I WOULD HAVE WREAKED! I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD ACCIDENTS WITH MORE DAMAGE OR A FULL TOTAL OF THEIRS AND OTHERS ARE NOT BEING REIMBURSED FOR THE ENTIRE DAMAGES. THI FIXED WRONG THE FIRST TIME BY THE DEALER, BEFORE THEIR WREAK. HOW IS THAT NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY? THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR ANY OF THOSE JEEPS OR MINE NOT BEING FIXED. THESE ARE STRAIGHT UP RECALLS SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS, REALLY WRONG.

CAR WAS RECALLED FOR AIR BAG COMPUTER. I TOOK THE CAR IN THEY REPLACED THE PART THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO. WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON. WHEN I WENT BACK IN THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY ONLY REPLACE THE PART AND DON'T TEST IT WHEN DONE BECAUSE CHRYSLER DOES NOT PAY FOR IT. I VERIFIED THIS WITH CRYSLER THIS IS TRUE. MY SAFTY CONCERN IS THAT THEY PUT CARS BACK ON THE ROAD WHERE THEY MAY NOT BE SAFE. DON'T KNOW IF THE AIR BAGS COULD GO OFF ACCIDENTALLY OR IF THEY WORK AT ALL.

WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 20 2017, MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING EAST ON HWY 10 DURING SNOWY CONDITIONS, WHEN WE HIT BLACK ICE AT 50 MPH. THE VEHICLE SPUN 360 AND HIT A GUARD RAIL AT 40-45 MPH. THE AIRBAGS IN THE VEHICLE DID NOT DEPLOY RESULTING MAJOR INJURIES TO MY WIFE (PASSENGER) BROKEN STERNUM AND RIGHT BROKEN TIBIA, WHICH WAS CORRECTED WITH MAJOR SURGERY AND REHABILITATION. THE ROADS WERE SNOWY, TRAFFIC WAS AT 45-50MPH IN A 60 MPH SPEED LIMIT ZONE. THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED ON HWY10 E AND FERRY ST IN ANOKA MINNESOTA. THE JEEP LIBERTY IS TOTALED AND MY WIFE IS SUFFERING FROM INJURIES WOULD HAVE BEEN SEVERE, WOULD THE SAFETY AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED AND KEPT MY WIFE FROM MOVING FORWARD INTO THE DASH. *BF *TR

I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE ORC MODULE REPLACED AS PART OF RECALL CAMPAING R06. THE SERVICE WRITER INFORMED ME THAT AFTER R/R OF ORC, THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT IMPACT SENSORS, WHICH WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, AND AFTERWARDS THEY COULD NOT COMMUNICATE WITH THE ORC AND IT WOULD COST ME $100.00 OR SO TO HAVE ISSUE DIAGNOSED. I COULDN'T AFFORD IT AND NOW HAVE NO AIR BAGS. ALSO AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP I NOTICED THE PASS. SEATBELT IS IN A CONSTANT LOCKED POSITION WHILE THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT NEVER LOCKS EVEN WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. FCA SAID I WLD NEED TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSIS & IF FOUND TO BE RELATED TO THE ORC RECALL FCA WOULD REIMBURSE ME BUT I CAN'T AFFORD THE DIAGNOSIS FEE. SO NOW I HAVE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WITH NO AIR BAGS AND NO SEAT BELTS. HOW CAN THIS BE CONSIDERED A REMEDY TO A RECALL SITUATION? FCA STATED THAT IT DID SOUND LIKE IT WOULD BE RELATED TO THE ORC RECALL. IF THAT IS THE CASE WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSIS? IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE TO ME THAT FCA TRULY CARES ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO GET THIS RECTIFIED WITHOUT COST TO THE CUSTOMER? THIS HAPPENED IN MAY OF 2016 & I DIDN'T KNOW I COULD REPORT THE INCIDENT TO ANYONE OR SHOULD EVEN QUESTION IT UNTIL I SPOKE WITH A NEIGHBOR WHO USED TO WORK FOR A DEALERSHIP WHO ADVISED ME TO LOOK INTO THE ISSUE FURTHER AS HE SAID IT DIDN'T SOUND RIGHT TO HIM.

MY MECHANIC GOT STUMPED ON SOME SUSPENSION PROBLEMS, AND LOOKED ONLINE FOR SIMILAR ISSUES. WHAT HE CAME ACROSS WAS ARTICLES BY CONSUMER REPORTS AND AUTO TRADER ABOUT RECALLS WITH JEEP LIBERTYS FROM 2003 TO 2005 THAT WILL HAVE REAR SUSPENSION, SPECIFICALLY REAR LOWER CONTROL ARMS PROBLEMS, RESULTING IN THE TIRES LOOSENING OR EVEN BREAK AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. I AM NOT A MECHANIC, BUT WHAT I HAVE READ FITS THE DESCRIPTION OF WHAT MY JEEP IS DOING, AND THE AREA OF CONCERN EXPRESSED BY MY MECHANIC. EVEN WHEN THE JEEP HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS, "OFFICIALLY" I WOULD LIKE IT LOOKED INTO AS THE PROBLEM FITS THE RECALL DESCRIPTION AND MODEL YEARS. WHEN I AM DRIVING IT, IT INTERMITTENTLY SHAKES FROM THE BACKEND, LITTLE FISH TAIL MOTIONS. IT HAPPENS AT MOST SPEEDS, BUT MORE NOTICEABLE WHEN ABOVE MAYBE 25MPH. (ALTHOUGH IT DOES IT AT SLOWER SPEEDS AS WELL) IT IS NERVE RACKING, AND NOTICEABLE FROM PASSENGERS AS WELL, AS TWICE I'VE BEEN ASKED BY PASSENGERS, "WHATS WRONG WITH YOUR JEEP?" BELOW ON THIS PAGE IT IS ASKING ME FOR A DATE OF "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?". THAT I DON'T KNOW, ITS NOT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED OVERNIGHT, ITS BEEN STEADILY CREEPING UP, GETTING WORSE. MY MECHANIC MADE MENTION OF IT A FEW MONTHS AGO. I HAVE HAD NO LUCK HAVING THIS LISTED AS A RECALL, DESPITE WHAT I MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY THAT THE PROBLEM FITS THE DESCRIPTION AND WHATS HAPPENING. I DECIDED TO FILL THIS OUT TO SEE IF ANYTHING ELSE COULD BE FOUND OR DONE WITH THE RECALL. THANK YOU

TAKATA RECALL I AM STEADILY BURNING THROUGH FRONT DRIVE SHAFT ASSEMBLIES WHERE IT GOES INTO THE TRANSFER CASE. THE BEARING HEAD KEEPS FAILING BY THROWING THE BEARINGS THROUGH THE ASSEMBLY, I HAVE OWED THE VEHICLE FOR 2 YEARS AND HAVE REPLACED IT TWICE WITH THE SAME PARTS FAILING. THE PART SEEMS TO JUST GO WITH NO WARNING AND WHEN THE ASSEMBLY COMES APART IT WOULD LEAVE THE FRONT SHAFT SPINNING SINCE THE JEEP HAS FULL TIME LOCKED HUBS WHICH COULD CAUSE IT TO GO THROUGH THE FLOORBOARD OR SEND BULLET TYPE PROJECTILES THROUGH THE ASSEMBLY METAL WHICH COULD DAMAGE OTHER COMPONENTS

TAKATA RECALL I AM ON MY SECOND REAR GEAR IN MY FREEDOM EDITION WITH THE LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL. THEY SEEM TO START WHINNYING AROUND120,000 MILES THE DIFFERENTIAL BEARINGS START TO ABNORMALITY WEAR CAUSING THE RING AND PINION TO WEAR PREMATURELY WHICH CAUSE THE GEARING TO SLIP WEARING THE TEETH IT'S A VERY COSTLY FIX AT 1,000 JUST FOR THAT TYPE OF SPECIAL REAR END THE DANGER OF IT IS THE TEETH COULD PERMANENTLY SLIP ON TAKE OFF CAUSING THE FLOWING VEHICLE TO REAR YOU WHICH COULD ALLOW ANOTHER SERIOUS PROBLEM OF THE LIBERTYS NOT HAVING PROPER REAR PROTECTION ON LOW SPEED IMPACT WHICH COULD CAUSE FIRE
