I've had lower ball joints, bushing and control arms already replaced once in 2017 and now they are out again. I've been told by mopar that my 2006 liberty was made 5 weeks after the last one involved in the recall.this is inexcusable. I've had 3 window regulators replaced. This is a fatality waiting to happen if I drive. I started hearing and feeling the ball joints going bad about 2 weeks ago. I hardly have driven it since I work from home now. Can chrysler see all these complaints about the ball joints and still not add these 06 jeep's to that recall. This is not good business at all. Also just had front brakes done 1 year ago and they need replaced already. Ignition - my key will not come out of the ignition unless I push on the ignition cable. Please help me to get these problems fixed. This is unacceptable from chrysler.

Yesterday my ABS and esb lights came on. I did notice a bit of grinding type noise approximately twice in a full day of driving. Today, same thing, but lights went off a couple of times right after start up. My brakes and tires were replaced in late august. The repair shop said my brakes were in good order but the right rear wheel speed sensor is bad. If this doesn't correct issue, a wheel alignment and reset the steering angle is recommended. None of these issues would warrant the odd grinding noise when breaking and only occassionally does this happen and it did not occur when the technician drove it. This was all on city streets and driving straight in good weather. A quick google search indicates this is a problem with many owners of the 2006 jeep liberty. Many people have replaced the brakes, sensors, rotors and all things brakes but still experience the lights and the noise. Often, there is reference made to the clock spring. Since I saw so many complaints and my repairman was so vague that his recommendations would actually solve the issue, I felt it is worthy of investigating.

Abs light keeps going off even when brakes and rotors has been replaced . Brakes will skip or make a shaking vibration on the pedal when press and makes it hard to stop or impossible while in motion rather driving in the city or on the highway.

While I was driving the ABS bas esp stopped working and the lights came on. We were living in ft wayne indians at the time and without those features this jeep is flat out dangerous. I had the wheel speed sensor replaced twice but that wasn't it. One dealer rebuilt all four of my brakes and purged the system. That didn't work. I paid four different dealerships over 3800$ plus rent fees. It still is t fixed.
