About 6 months ago the passenger side front end to hit the ground, just after going 60 miles an hour thankfully turning in daughter's driveway. Lower ball joint passenger side came apart. On Monday doing 35 mph the driver side hits the pavement hard! Luckily I ditched in a driveway on the left! The tire slammed into the fender well breaking the plastic there and the piece that goes back under the doors? Ball joint broke completely into? I'm on my third day of working in the rain alongside a road repairing this?

Dealership who fixed the lower control arm and hitch recalls, did not fix and said there was no Lower Ball Joint recall- which was a confirmed recall and lead to vehicle damage and safety hazard

I have a 2005 Jeep Liberty Sport. I was backing out of my driveway when I heard a crunching sound. I got out of the car and saw that the passenger side of my car was much lower than the driver's side. I noticed that their was windshield wiper fluid pouring out of the front end. Upon inspection, I noticed that the ball joint had snapped and the control arm was almost on the ground. Had I been able to get to the freeway as planned, I could have been seriously injured. I called to verify recall information and was informed that the ball joint recall issue had been resolved. However, with further investigation, it seems that this issue is happening after the repairs as well. I have attached pictures.

My son noticed the rear drivers tire not feeling good as he traveled on I-80 outside of lincoln, ne. He started loosing control and eventually lost control, the car rolled several times and came to rest upside down. He was still buckled in the seat. After looking over the car, the rear tires were broken off the car. The lug nuts still attached to the tire. He thinks the drivers rear tire came off first and that was what started the car out of control. The other rear tire was also off after he came to rest so he is not sure when that came off during the crash. The car is a total loss. Geico is investigating the car to see if they can determine what took place. This just happened on 12/16/2016.

I got out of my car after a 20 minute drive from work and I could smell rubber burning. I stepped to the back of my jeep and could tell the smell was coming from the back driver side tire so I reached down and touched the wheel and it was so hot it burned by hand. It acted like the brake had locked while I was driving and working against my speed. This is an ongoing problem. Sometimes it acts completely fine and other times it will lock up again and all I can smell is burning rubbing and feel heat coming off the wheel without even touching it.
