My client, pablo e. Coelho, bought a jeep liberty sport 4x4 in argentina for the sum of usd 40,000 and had several problems. Finally the seller change it for a new jeep last year. With the new jeep we are experiencing more problems than with the first one and there are more than three recalls incomplete and the seller is not giving us any notice of them neither any solutions to all these problems. The last recall is described as a safety recall and it is stating that the blower motor may overheat and cause an interior fire. This jeep is not safe to drive and I do not want to have my client nor any third party injured. I will really appreciate if you can help me to have this solved asap.

I have a 2003 jeep liberty sport and I was recently driving it when the entire system completely shut down. I was able to pull over to the side of the road. It restarted and I went a little further and it completely shut down again. I lost power to steering and was fortunately able to guide it off the main highway without any power. It would not continue running after that. It would start but then shut down right off. I ended up having it towed to a jeep dealership where I found out two sensors in the computer had gone bad. I had to pay to have the sensors replaced in addition to the tow. I am concerned about what would have happened if I had been on an interstate going at a high rate of speed and those sensors would have gone bad causing me to lose power in traffic. I wonder if some fatalities and injuries have resulted from this situation with other vehicles. I think its a very dangerous situation and jeep should be investigated to see if they are using defective sensors in the jeep liberty. I only have 65 thousand miles on this vehicle and I am concerned about taking it on any lengthy trips. I feel its a danger on the highways with these sensors.
My liberty has 3 recalls, 2 having do with big safety issues- fire and tires detaching. I first called planet dodge (miami, fl) for service appt.; gave VIN and advised of recalls- surprise! When I arrived for my appointment; they said the parts were on back order! Today I called tamiami jeep to make an appointment and was told 1) it's very dangerous as tires may detach 2) they have some parts, but not some bolt, if that is required! Question- if these are mandatory recalls and on such potentially safety compromising parts- how can the parts be on back order for 3 months!! (this will be my first visit to tamiami for service appt-but was already advised not all parts available- what's the use of making a appointment if they is a nationwide of a part to repair a recall? What happens if my tires detach or my car has "underbody fire" as per my most recent notice? I would appreciate a reply via email and I would like somebody to investigate how service departments can run out of parts that have mandatory recalls. I was not told at planet dodge how serious this was and have been driving around waiting for the parts to arrive.(lower ball joint).
