I HAVE TWO ISSUES. THE FIRST BEING THAT I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE FOR THE LOWER BALL JOINTS ON MY 2003 JEEP LIBERTY. I CONTACTED THE DEALER ON NOV. 16, 2006 AND WAS ASKED FOR MY NAME, NUMBER, AND ADDRESS. THE MAN TOLD ME THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT IN STOCK AND HAD TO BE ORDERED WHICH MAY TAKE 4-5 WEEKS. HE SAID THEY WOULD CONTACT ME AS SOON AS THE PART CAME IN. IT HAS BEEN TWO MONTHS AND I HAVE YET TO BE CONTACTED. RECALLS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DONE IN A TIMELY MANNER. IS THIS "SHORTAGE" OF PARTS REALLY THE PROBLEM OR IT MY LOCAL DEALER. MY SECOND ISSUE IS THAT OF THE FLOOR SHIFTER. THE LAST TWO TIMES I DROVE MY JEEP, IT REFUSED TO GO INTO PARK OR 1ST GEAR. I TRIED PRESSING HARDER ON THE BUTTON ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE SHIFTER, TURNING MY VEHICLE OFF, AND GIVING IT FORCE. THE FIRST TIME I ENDED UP DRIVING TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO COULDN'T GET IT INTO PARK AT FIRST EITHER, AFTER GIVING IT SOME FORCE IT WENT IN, HOWEVER HE SEEMED TO IGNORE THE FACT THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE AND TOLD ME TO "MAKE SURE I PRESS THE BUTTON IN WHEN TRYING TO PUT IT INTO PARK." IT HAPPENED THE FOLLOWING DAY WHEN I WAS PARKING IN FRONT OF MY HOME. I STRUGGLED FOR 15 MINUTES, THEN DROVE AROUND THE BLOCK AND TRIED AGAIN. I WENT INTO PARK ALTHOUGH NOT SMOOTHLY. I WILL BE CONTACTING THE DEALER TOMORROW. I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS ISSUE AND WOULD IT BE COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT NEGATIVE EXPERIENCES WITH DEALERS, THEREFORE I AM DREADING HAVING TO TAKE MY JEEP AN

THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE LOWER BALL JOINTS OF MY 2003 JEEP LIBERTY. I DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS RECALL UNTIL I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER ON DECEMBER 21,2006 YET ON NOV 25,2006 - I LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AND I BELIEVE IT MAY HAVE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE LOWER BALL JOINTS. IT CLEARLY STATES IN MY RECALL NOTICE THAT WATER MAY ENTER THE FRONT SUSPENSION LOWER BALL JOINTS ON MY JEEP AND CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE........THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. I FEEL THAT DAIMLER CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING FOR MY JEEP WHICH HAD TO BE TOTALLED OUT AND ALSO THE COSTS I ACCRUED FOR RENTAL VEHICLE AND OTHER SUCH EXPENSES. IF I WAS WARNED ABOUT THIS A MONTH EARLIER - I DO NOT BELIEVE I WOULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE!!! *NM

I CALLED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT AS I RECEIVED A SAFETY NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE 3 MONTHS BEFORE I COULD GET IN AND THE DEALERSHIP IS ONLY DOING 2-3 PER WEEK. I HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT IN THE PAST WITH A BROKEN BALL JOINT SO I AM VERY SENSITIVE WHEN IT COMES TO THIS. THREE MONTHS IS TOO LONG TO WAIT FOR A SAFETY RECALL, ESPECIALLY ONE THIS SERIOUS. *JB

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM DAIMLER CHRYSLER ABOUT MY 2004 JEEP LIBERTY ABOUT A SAFETY RECALL F23-LOWER BALL JOINTS. THIS RECALL STATES THAT "BALL JOINT SEPARATION CAN RESULT IN A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND COULD CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING". TRYING TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM REVEALED THERE WOULD BE AN 8 WEEK WAIT BECAUSE THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. I LEARNED FROM THE DEALER (AND LATER VERIFIED BY CALLING DAIMLER CHRYSLER AT 1.800.853.1403) THAT DAIMLER CHRYSLER IS MAKING ONLY 3 REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE TO DEALERS PER WEEK! IF THIS IS SUCH A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION, DOESN'T DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO MAKE MORE PARTS AVAILABLE TO DEALERS OF THEIR DEFECTIVE CARS? I UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A LOT OF CARS, BUT THAT DOES NOT CHANGE THE FACT THAT I AM DRIVING A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE WHICH I WILL HAVE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE FOR ANOTHER 8 WEEKS. HOW CAN SUCH A HUGE CORPORATION NOT INSURE THAT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO THEIR DEALERS IN A MORE TIMELY FASHION? WHAT HAPPENS IF INDEED A CRASH OCCURS WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING DURING THAT WAITING PERIOD? WHAT WILL DAIMLER CHRYSLER SAY AND DO THEN? THIS IS A SHAMEFUL EXAMPLE OF VIOLATING THE PUBLIC TRUST-AND THIS CAR IS NOT CHEAP-THEY ARE CERTAINLY NOT SAYING-HOLD YOUR PAYMENTS UNTIL THE CAR IS REPAIRED. WHAT CAN I DO BUT WAIT?*JB

I WAS THEN ABLE TO LATCH THE SEAT BELT. THEN ABOUT A WEEK LATER WHILE DRIVING MY SEAT BELT CAME UNLATCHED. I RELATCHED IT ONLY TO HAVE IT HAPPEN OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I WENT TO THE DEALER TO FIND OUT I HAVE TO BUY AN ENTIRE NEW SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY. YOU CANNOT BUY JUST THE BUCKLE. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS WEBSITE, I SEE THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION ON 2002 JEEP LIBERTY SEAT BELT BUCKLES. MY CAR IS 2003, HOWEVER, THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT 2002-2005 ARE THE SAME PART. *NM
