2004 Jeep Liberty complaints

I WAS DRIVING 40MPH DOWN THE ROAD STRAIGHT NOT EVEN TURNING AND MY BALL JOINT BROKE OFF LANDING ON MY RIM SPLITTING IT IN TWO. THE AXLE IS NOW BEING PULLED OUT LEAKING FLUID THE TIRE IS RUINED (ONLY 6 MONTHS OLD). *TR

WE WERE AT A BERRY FARM PICKING RASPBERRIES, WE LOOKED UP AND SAW OUR VEHICLE ROLLING TOWARDS US. THE TRANSMISSION MUST OF POPPED OUT GEAR(PARK) THE CAR CONTINUED GAINING SPEED DOWN THE HILL AS IT SLAMMED INTO A TREE. *TR

I HAD BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM AROUND THREE WEEKS AGO, AT HOT WEATHER I TURN THE A\C ON, AND AFTER 10 MINUTES THE ENGINE STARTS REHEATING, I ALREADY TAKE IT TO THE CHRYSLER JEEP DEALER, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENS THAT EVERYTHING IS OK, MY HUSBAND EVEN SCAN THE CAR AND HE GOT THE PO480, AND THEY SAID THAT NO EVERYTHING IS OK, I TOLD THEM THE SITUATION THAT IM WORRY ABOUT THE REHEATING CAUSE THREE DAYS AGO I HAS AT THE I95 AT 65 MPH, AND IT STARS REHEATING VERY FAST, I JUST PULL OVER THE CAR , BUT IT CAN START A FIRE UNDER THE HOOD OR SOMETHING I SAW A LOT OF SMOKE, I TOLD THEM, AND THEY SAID THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING THAT EVERYTHING IS OK. SO IF JEEP ITSELF CANT NOT FIND THE PROBLEM , WHO CAN.....? THEY SAID ....WE DON'T KNOW!!!!! THIS IS A VERY WEIRD SITUATION , THAT THE JEEP ITSELF CAN NOT FIND A PROBLEM IN A CAR THAT THEY MAKE. *TR

THREE WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE USED, THE CAR BEGAN HICCUPPING OR LURCHING WHILE IDLING, AND HAD DIFFICULTY ACCELERATING FROM SECOND TO FIRST GEAR. MECHANIC CHECKED ERROR MESSAGE INDICATING CYLINDER MISS FIRE AND FOUND THAT ALL SPARK PLUGS AND ONE COIL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. PROBLEM CONTINUED AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. SAME MECHANIC CHECKED ERROR MESSAGE INDICATING CYLINDER MISS FIRE, AND FOUND RUBBER GASKET ON COOLANT TANK MANGLED CAUSING COOLANT TO SPLATTERED OVER ENGINE. REPLACED CAP. I TOOK A 1200 HIGHWAY TRIP WITH NO PROBLEM. AFTER I RETURNED AND RESUMED LOW SPEED STOP AND GO DRIVING, THE PROBLEM RESUMED. THIS TIME, THE CHECK ENGINE ALSO INDICATED CYLINDER MISFIRE, BUT A HOSE EXITING COOLANT TANK WAS RUPTURED LEAKING COOLANT DIRECTLY ON TO THE SAME CYLINDER THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED. THINKING WE HAD FINALLY SOLVED THE PROBLEM, THE HOSE WAS REPLACED, THE CYLINDER REMOVED AND CLEANED, BUT LEAKAGE UNDER CAR AND SPLATTERED OVER ENGINE CONTINUED. CAR IS LURCHING ESPECIALLY WHEN ACCELERATING UPHILL, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS FLASHING ON AND OFF. THERE IS A HISSING NOISE AFTER I TURN OFF THE ENGINE. MY LICENSE PLATE HAS EXPIRED AND I CAN'T RE-NEW UNTIL MY EXHAUST IS TESTED, WHICH THEY WILL NOT DO IF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? *TR

ON SUNDAY 6/30 I WAS AT THE PHARMACY AROUND MY RESIDENSE IN PHILA, PA. WHEN I PULL OUT OF THE PARKING LOT TO GO INTO THE STREET WITH THE TRAFFIC TO GO BACK HOME. THE CAR STARTED MAKING THIS SCREENING NOISE AND IT FELT LIKE WHEN I WOULD GIVE IT GAS IT WOULD NOT RESPOND. I TRIED A LITTLE BIT OF GAS AND THEN IT MADE A BIG SOUN D LIKE AN EXPLOSION AND IT LOCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET . IT WOULD NOT GO FORWARD OR BACKWARDS. IT FELT LIKE IT JUST DROP TO THE FLOOR AND IT FELT AS THOU THE TIRES FELL OFF THE CAR.... I HAD TO GET A TOW TRUCK TO TOW IT AWAY , NO MATTER HOW MUCH WE WOULD WORK ON IT. IT WOULDNT RESPOND . I HAD JUST GOTTEN THE RECALL NOTICE AND HAD TAKEN THIS CAR TO A CHRYSLER DEALER TO GET THE REPLACEMENT PART THEY HAD SENT NOTICE RECALLING 2002-2007 JEEPS. THREE WEEKS BEFORE. I NEED HELP. I DONT WANT TO GET BACK BEHIND THIS CAR. IT WAS SCARY AND ONCE BEFORE IT HAD LOCKED UP ON MY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO BE IN A CRASH. *TR

2004 JEEP LIBERTY. ATTORNEY REPRESENTING CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO REAR SUSPENSION LOWER CONTROL ARM RECALL NOTICE. *SMD THE CONSUMER WAS INJURED, WHEN THE JEEP SHE WAS DRIVING SPUN OUT OF CONTROL AND ULTIMATELY HIT A TREE. SHE SUFFERED INJURIES TO HER RIGHT HAND, LEFT LEG, RIBS AND LEFT KNEE. THE ATTORNEY STATED IT APPEARED HIS CLIENTS INJURIES WERE BASED UPON THE SAME DEFECT AS REPORTED IN RECALL # 12V085000.

WE HAVE HAD REPEATED FAILURES ON ALL OF OUR WINDOW REGULATORS SINCE WE PURCHASED OUR JEEP. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS IN 2006. I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OUR REPAIR FILE TO GET THE OTHER DATES. WE CURRENTLY HAVE ANOTHER WINDOW OUT, IT IS TAPED UP TO KEEP THINGS OUT. THIS IS THE WINDOW IN THE BACK BEHIND THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED. THE REPLACEMENTS DON'T EVEN HOLD UP. WE ARE SENIOR CITIZENS. NO ONE "PLAYS" WITH THE WINDOWS. WE USE OUR AC SO WINDOWS ARE NOT OPENED AND CLOSED. THEY JUST FALL DOWN ON THEIR OWN. WE CAN NOT AFFORD TO KEEP REPLACING THE WINDOW REGULATORS. THE DEALER SAID HE THOUGHT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A BIG PROBLEM ,BUT I DON'T SEE ANYTHING HERE EXCEPT WINDOW REGULATOR COMPLAINTS. WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO TAKE THIS PROBLEM SERIOUSLY? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP LIBERTY.

JUNE 13, 2013, THIRD WINDOW REGULATOR TO FAIL WITHIN ONE YEAR ON MY JEEP LIBERTY. FAILED WINDOW REGULATORS ARE FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT WINDOWS, AND LEFT REAR WINDOW. VERY FRUSTRATED AND DISAPPOINTED WITH CHRYSLER AND HOW THEY ARE HANDLING A KNOWN ISSUE. AFTER SPEAKING WITH SEVERAL EMPLOYEES AND MANAGER AT THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE DEFECT BUT THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPAIR THE FAILED WINDOW REGULATORS AT NO COST TO ME. THEREFORE I CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY JEEP LIBERTY WITHOUT ANY WORKING WINDOWS WHICH PRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE NO WAY OF GETTING OUT OF MY VEHICLE AND IT'S AN INCONVENIENCE TO PULL UP TO DRIVE THRU WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO ROLL DOWN MY WINDOWS. CHRYSLER, I'M SURE YOU HAVE HEARD THIS COMPLAINT MANY TIMES. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IF YOU WOULD TAKE CARE OF YOUR CUSTOMER BASE AND DO A RECALL ON THESE WINDOW REGULATORS. THANK YOU. *TR

JANUARY 8, 2013 GOOD MORNING. IT WAS VERY ANNOYING WHEN MY PASSENGER'S FRONT WINDOW DROPPED INSIDE THE DOOR. IT WAS AND WASN'T OKAY WHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST AROSE. I WAS VERY CONCERNED. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO MY DAD TO SEE WHAT HE KNEW ABOUT IT OR COULD DO. HE WENT TO THE PICK AND PULL JUNKYARD AND GOT A PLASTIC REPLACEMENT WINDOW TO HOLD ME OVER UNTIL I COULD GET IF FIXED, WHICH I DID ABOUT 3 WEEKS AFTER THE PROBLEM OCCURRED. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED ON JANUARY 8, 2013 AND I GOT IT FIXED ON JANUARY 29TH, ONLY FOR THE OPPOSITE FRONT DRIVERS WINDOW TO DO THE EXACT SAME THING TWO DAYS AFTER I GOT IT OUT THE SHOP. WELL THIS TIME, MY DAD PLACED A 2 BY 4 TO HOLD IT IN PLACE. AND NOW ONLY ABOUT 2 MONTHS LATER MARCH 28, 2013 MY BACK PASSENGER WINDOW HAS SUFFERED THE SAME FAITH. BACK ON FEBRUARY 5, 2013 I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE CHRYSLER DEALER BECAUSE THEY CONTACTED ME ABOUT A RECALL, AND AT THIS TIME I EXPLAINED MY INCIDENT TO THEM; THEY STATED THEY HAD MAYBE A FEW CONCERNS ABOUT THE WINDOW REGULATOR, BUT THAT IT WASN'T ENOUGH TO RAISE AN EYEBROW ABOUT. I UNDERSTAND WHY THAT WOULD NOT BE AN EYEBROW RAISER. IN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS, I HAVE HAD 3 OF MY CAR WINDOW TO JUST DROP INSIDE THE DOOR OF MY VEHICLE AND THE DEALER DOESN'T THINK THAT THIS IS CALL FOR A RECALL, OR SEND OUT NOTICES TO JEEP DEALER AND WORK ON THE RESPONSES RECEIVED TO THEN DETERMINE IF THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE OR NOT? VERY COSTLY, AND INCONVENIENT ESPECIALLY WHEN THE INCIDENTS OCCUR AT DIFFERENT TIMES. I WOULD LIKE TO GET SOME

IN 2012 MY JEEP STARTED BUCKING AND JERKING,IDLE SURGING, STALLING AND HAD. HESITATION WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE, IT ALSO HAD SUDDEN SURGES IN CAR'S SPEED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ALWAYS ON AND AT TIMES IT FELT LIKE THE BACK WHEELS WOULD SPIN BEFORE THE CAR GOT TRACTION. I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE, A NEW ENGINE WAS PUT IN IN FEB 2012 AND MY CAR HAS NEVER RUN RIGHT SINCE. I AM NOW ON MY SECOND NEW MOTOR AND STILL AM HAVING SERIOUS ISSUES WITH THE CAR. EVERYTIME ONE THING IS FIXED ANOTHER THING GOES WRONG AND IT IS A NEVER ENDING CYCLE. I WOULD NEVER BUY ANOTHER JEEP PRODUCT AGAIN. THIS IS ONLY A PART OF ALL THE PROBLEMS I HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH MY 2004 JEEP LIBERTY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 55MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTING SHAKING. I SLOWED DOWN AND EXITED THE FREEWAY. THE SHAKING GOT WORSE, AND WHEN I TURNED INTO THE GAS STATION, THE FRONT WHEEL ACTUALLY CAME OFF AND ROLLED DOWN THE STREET. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED. IT LOOKS LIKE THE LUG NUTS JUST BROKE OFF. I HAD NO WORK DONE ON THE VEHICLE FOR THE PAST 2 MONTHS OR SO. *TR

HIT FROM BEHIND. THE DRIVERS SEAT HELD UP WELL, BUT THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT FORCED MY LEGS BACKWARD OFF OF THE FIREWALL CONTROLS AND MY LEGS WERE UP AGAINST THE SEAT WHEN THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP. MY LOWER LEGS AT THE CALVES WERE CRUSHED AND THIS LED TO SEVERE BLEEDING CONTAINED IN THE LEGS (COMPARTMENT SYNDROME). NO FRACTURES BUT EMERGENCY SURGERY WAS NEEDED. AFTER REVIEWING PHOTOS OF THE VEHICLE INTERIOR TODAY, IT IS APPARENT THAT MY CALVES HIT THE SEAT ADJUSTMENT BAR THAT STICKS OUT UNDER AND FORWARD OF THE PADDED PORTION OF THE SEAT. I FIND THIS A COMMON PLACEMENT OF THE SEAT ADJUSTMENT BAR IN MANY VEHICLES. IF NOT FOR THIS BAR I WOULD BE BACK TO WORK THIS WEEK AND NO SIGNIFICANT MEDICAL BILLS. OVERALL THE SEAT CONFORMED WELL TO ME AND DID NOT CAUSE ME TO FRACTURE MY NECK (SEVERE OSTEOPOROSIS AND PRIOR NECK FUSION).

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 107,000.

WE TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALER TO HAVE THE LOWER CONTROL ARM REPLACED DUE TO A RECALL ON THE PART. WE WERE TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE UPPER CONTROL ARM WAS BAD AND THEY WOULD NOT DO THE RECALL REPAIR OF THE LOWER CONTROL ARM UNTIL WE PAID TO REPLACE THE UPPER CONTROL ARM. WE WERE TOLD THE PART WAS PRETTY MUCH WORN OUT AND HANGING BY A THREAD AND THE ONLY THING HOLDING THE TIRES TO THE CAR WERE THE SHOCKS. THE UPPER CONTROL ARM IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND DEALER CHARGE TO REPAIR IT WAS $600. THE RECALL OF THE LOWER CONTROL ARM IS BECAUSE THE PART CAN WEAR OUT DUE TO NOT BEING TREATED FOR THE SALT USED ON ROADS IN OUR STATE. THE UPPER CONTROL ARM IS ALSO FALLING APART FOR THIS SAME REASON YET IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. THE UPPER CONTROL ARM ALSO NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. HEADLIGHTS GO OFF AND ON. ALMOST EVERY NIGHT. NO ONE KNOWS WHY IT'S DOING THIS. SOMETIMES FOR 3 TO 5 SECONDS. WE NEED A RECALL ON THIS, TO FIND OUT WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. JEEP DEALERS DON'T HAVE ANSWERS FOR US, BUT THEY CAN CHARGE US $ 75 FOR NOTHING. SOME DAY SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT WHEN LIGHTS DON'T COME BACK ON. DON'T SAY WE DIDN'T WARN YOU.

CAR JUST SHUTS OFF ON HIGHWAY... THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES.... AFTER RESTARTING WORKS OKAY AS IF RE-STARTING BOOTING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM... ENGINE LIGHT ON.. REAR HATCH DOES NOT OPEN... I BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE HAS MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS FROM WHAT I HAVE READ AND EXPERIENCED... *TR

SINCE THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED IT HAS GIVEN US PROBLEMS WITH THE POWER WINDOWS. WE REPLACED ON WHICH IN LESS THAT THREE MONTHS IT WAS BROKEN AGAIN. THIS WAS VERY EXPENSIVE AT THIS TIME ALL FOUR WINDOWS ARE BROKEN. I HAVE TO PUT WOOD IN THE DOORS TO KEEP GLASS FROM FALLING. NONE OF THE WINDOWS CAN BE OPENED AND NO SENSE IN FIXING DUE TO THE COST AND THEY BREAK DOWN AGAIN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE THE PASSENGER WINDOW WHEN HE HEARD A SNAPPING NOISE. THE CONTACT OPENED THE DOOR PANEL AND SAW THE CABLE THAT CONNECTED TO THE WINDOW PUSH PLATE HAD DISCONNECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

WHILE DRIVING, THE HEADLIGHTS CLICK OFF THEN ON, OFF THEN ON. THE ACT IS SPORADIC AND COMES ON WITH NO WARNING. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE DRIVER AHEAD OF YOU THINKS YOU ARE ANGRY AT THEM. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC. HE CAN NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. NOR DOES HIS COMPUTER EQUIPMENT INDICATE ANY MALFUNCTION. I KNOW I AM NOT ALONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. NO ONE HAS THE SOLUTION. *TR

PARKED VEHICLE AT GAS PUMP. SET PARKING BRAKE, LEFT TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL (ENGINE IDLING). GOT OUT OF VEHICLE AND IT THEN STARTED ROLLING FORWARD. THE PARKING BRAKE HAS NEVER WORKED CORRECTLY SINCE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AT ABOUT 14,000 MILES AND STILL DOESN'T EVEN AFTER HAVING THE PARKING BRAKE SHOES AND SPRINGS REPLACED. I REPLACED THEM BECAUSE THE RIGHT-REAR PARKING BRAKE HAS TAKEN TO STICKING WHILE DRIVING. A COUPLE OF TIMES I'VE COME HOME AND GOTTEN OUT OF MY VEHICLE TO AN ACRID SMELL OF BURNING AND THE EXCESSIVELY HIGH TEMPERATURES COMING FROM THE RIGHT REAR BRAKES. IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE THE GAS-STATION INCIDENT HAPPENED, AND THE ONLY REASON IT STILL DOESN'T HAPPEN IS I NEVER LEAVE IT PARKED OUT OF GEAR ANYMORE. THE PARKING BRAKE IS WORTHLESS AND WOULD NEVER BE OF USE TO STOP THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY WHERE THE PRIMARY BRAKING SYSTEM HAS FAILED. SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN HURT OR KILLED IF I HADN'T BEEN RIGHT THERE TO JUMP IN MY VEHICLE TO STOP IT FROM ROLLING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW OPENED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER.

DRIVER'S SEAT HEATER FELT EXTREMELY HOT AGAINST MY BACK WHILE DRIVING. LEANED FORWARD AND SMELLED A BURNING ODOR, ALSO FELT JACKET AND BACK OF SEAT WHICH WERE BOTH EXTREMELY HOT AND IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF THE HEATED SEATS. UPON ARRIVING AT WORK,GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND SAW THE FRONT SEAT LEATHER AGAINST WHERE MY BACK WAS HAD BEEN BURNED, AS WELL AS THE BACK OF MY JACKET. CALLED THE CHRYSLER RECALL PHONE NUMBER AND WAS TOLD THAT ALTHOUGH THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE FOR THE HEATED SEATS MALFUNCTIONING AND OVERHEATING, THAT THERE WAS NOT A RECALL AVAILABLE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP LIBERTY. BECAUSE THE VEHICLE'S WARRANTY IS EXPIRED, THEY SAID THEY WILL NOT COVER EXPENSES DUE TO REPAIRS. I THEN CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER, WHO ALSO SAID I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS SINCE THERE IS NOT A RECALL FOR THIS MODEL OF JEEP. UPON SEARCHING THE WEB, THERE ARE NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS OF OTHER JEEP LIBERTIES WITH THIS ISSUE, INCLUDING A COURT CASE THAT WAS FILED 10/29/12 FOR A 2004 JEEP LIBERTY WHICH THE HEATED SEATS GENERATED DANGEROUSLY HIGH TEMPERATURES IN WHICH A CONSUMER ENDURED THIRD DEGREE BURNS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A FIRE OR INJURY TO CONSUMERS. *TR

REAR CONTROL ARM FAILED. CHRYSLER WILL NOT FIX REAR CONTROL ARM BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS REGISTERED IN SOUTH DAKOTA. THE REAR CONTROL ARM ON THIS VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR VEHICLES IN OTHER STATE BECAUSE OF THE SALT ON THE ROADS DURING WINTER DRIVING. SOUTH DAKOTA HAS THE SAME SALT ON ROADS AS MINNESOTA AND IOWA (STATES LISTED ON THE RECALL) AND SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. *TR

THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY DURING A CAR CRASH. I WAS INVOLVED IN A ACCIDENT 5 DEC 2012.

MY FRONT AIR BAGS NEVER WENT OFF. SHOULDN'T THEY HAVE? I'VE SINCE FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT I DID NOT OWN THE CAR AT THE TIME. DO I HAVE A CLAIM? *TR

I GOT INTO THE CAR, STARTED IT, AND THE BACK LEFT PASSENGER WINDOW DROPPED.

I MIGHT ACCEPT 1 WINDOW REGULATOR FAILING BUT NOT 4 OR 5, IF YOU COUNT A SECOND FAILURE. WHAT GETS ME IS THE FACT THAT THE BACK WINDOWS DO NOT GET A GREAT DEAL OF USE. I BELIEVE THEY'VE BEEN USED MAYBE 10 TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2004. FOR A SECOND FAILURE, WHEN THE PART HAS NOT HAD BUT 2 USES (TO CHECK THAT THE WINDOW WAS OPERATIONAL), IS RIDICULOUS. *TR
