We received the notice about the gas/fuel tank potential to catch fire, we took our vehicle to the dealer. The dealer explained that we have too much corrosion on our vehicle to be repaired. The cost to repair exceeds the value of the vehicle, currently we are still driving with a vehicle that may catch fire. We contacted chrysler as we still are paying off the vehicle, we where given the run around until finally one associate told us simply, they will not help you. Prior to this recall notice we have constantly had issues when filling up with gas and the gas would leak out in large quantities instead of shutting off. We replaced the oil pan recently after it rusted out, we are about to replace to transmission fluid pan as that is about to rust out, the transmission lines are also rusting and corroded. Our jeep may be an 05 but it looks as if its brand new rolling off the line, we take care of our vehicle. We are informed consumers and know there is a recall for chrysler failing to fix the fuel tank explosion issues, when we looked up the VIN for our vehicle it was not showing that it is one of the one's being recalled. Our vehicle was not repaired and we should be included in this recall. We want to know if our vehicle will be included in the recall. We still have all the paperwork from visiting the dealer. When we took the vehicle up for the recall, the dealership told us that jeep has issues with rust to begin with and that it is a known issue that has yet to be corrected.

Driving on the interstate near fort worth the left rear window just fell down the door. It distracted me and I almost crashed into a guardrail because of the sudden pressure change in the car. I sorta panicked since the baby in the back seat began crying since the window was on her side in the back seat. After contacting several jeep owners, I have found out that this is a common problem with the windows on jeeps and it has already happened to the right side window last year. I used a zip tie to keep the window up. I saw a youtube vidio on how to do this. Since the right side window has a zip tie holding it up I no longer use that window. I think that jeep should consider recalling this problem since eventually someone is going to get hurt because of this problem.

As I was pulling into a parking lot I suddenly heard a loud noise and noticed my back wheels acting strange. I thought it was a flat tire so I parked and checked my rear tires. Everything looked fine so I got what I had come for then got back on the road. The noise and difficulty steering were still there though so I pulled over again and looked under the rear tires. The rear control arm on the drivers side has completely rusted through and broken. I couldn't believe a car with less than 70,000 miles on it could have a part completely rust through like that so I checked all the recalls on the liberty model. Not surprisingly there was a recall due to excessive rust on the very part that had completely rusted out on my vehicle. I was never notified of this safety recall though because I don't live in one of the states where the recall was issued. The states where the recall was issued get snow in the winter and salt is usually used to clear the streets. That is why these states were in the recall. I live in nebraska though, a state that gets nearly as much snow as iowa, missouri, and minnesota (three states that were included in the recall) and yet if you live in my state you are not informed of the recall and you do not get the parts replaced. If I had not been pulling into a parking lot at the moment the rear control arm had rusted through and broken the incident could have been much worse. I could have been on the highway or a busy street and easily lost control of my vehicle. Since my state was not included in the recall my safety (and the safety of other drivers) was put at risk and I will now be out $600.

I received a letter notifying me that there was a recall on my vehicle in late august of 2014. I have called the jeep recall center 4 times since then and I still have not had my jeep repaired. The last time I called on january 29th, 2015 the customer service representative put me in contact with kendall dodge in miami. I spoke to [xxx] from the car dealership and she advised me that I was fourth on the waiting list for this repair. It is now february 12th, 2015 and I have not heard anything from kendall dodge or the jeep recall center.

I am contacting you in reference to recall n46 / 13v- 252 on the jeep hitch issue. I have jumped thru chryslers' hoops for the last 12 months only to be told know that my reese hitch that I had installed prior to all this starting is not a "oem" part and that chrysler will not reimburse me for it. I had this hitch installed at a licensed dealer and the hitch meets icc requirements for a class 3 hitch. I am sure that I'm in the same boat that many other owners are in, and I hope you can advise me where do I go from here.
