While driving 30 MPH, something in the front end differential broke. I have had numerous problems with this vehicle. I'm on my 3rd set of tires. The brakes have been replaced 3 times. It's in the shop more than it is out.
Goodyear tire/ p215/ 75r16 dot#m6y4eyer1702. Owner feels that driving in the rain is too scary. The vehicle started to hydroplane when driving 10 MPH or greater. *jb (recurrent problem) the tires were not wide or deep enough according to the technician. There was a complete loss of traction when starting from a complete stop on any amount of water and cannot safely turn on water.
While the vehicle was parked consumer noticed stress marks and thinner treads located on the inner and outer sides of the tires. Consumer took vehicle to dealer for inspection.
After the dealership replaced the driver side lower ball joints for recall 03v460000 the vehicle's alignment was off, and the front end shook and pulled to the right when speed reached and exceeded 50 MPH.

I have a 2002 jeep liberty and on oct. 7, 2003, I had an incident in which my steering wheel and tires locked up during a left turn causing me to turn in a full 360 facing the car that was behind me. This was on a tuesday. On friday, oct. 10, 2003, I was making a right turn into a gas station and my car skidded causing me to lose brief control of my car again. I was able to straighten up the car and avoid another 360 and possible collision with gas pumps. Luckily, no one was hurt and there was not any property damage in either situation. At this point, I contacted the dealership ([xxx]) who told me it was my tires. I went to goodyear and they said my tires were fine and I should go to the dealership. I called the dealership back and they told me to bring it in and they would check it over but they had not heard of this problem before. They were unable to find anything wrong with my car and I really didn't feel like I received good customer service. My reason for submitting this now is because I have seen articles and my mother heard it on the news that there has been a recent recall on 2002 jeep liberties that might explain what happened. I contacted the dealership tonight and asked them about a recall and they denied that there is one. I am also unable to find it on your sight although the article I read stated it as being released by you. I have been lucky that it has not happened again but I do not feel as safe in my car as I did before the incidents. Please contact me and let me know if there is a recall and if not, please document my complaint. The next person may not be as lucky. Thank you, [xxx]. *ak information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
There is a humming noise in the 2 front tires and they are uneven. The dealership indicated that this is caused by 'feather wear'. Dealership has replaced the shocks, tires ,and aligned the vehicle, but the problem still exists. Unable to determine the cause of the problem
