2006 Jeep Liberty wheels problems

I scheduled an appointment to do a recall with State Line Chrysler 2 weeks in advance. State Line Chrysler, 1001 W 104th St, Kansas City, MO 64114 The recall was: Manufacturer Recall NumberU38, the federal safety agency Recall Number18V-278. I took the day off work, arrived at 9AM, only to have them tell me they hadn't ordered the parts. I asked them to look at a seat belt issue I was having since I was already there. I called just before closing and they hadn't gotten to it and they advised me to come get my vehicle and reschedule everything when I could secure another day off work. I can't imagine this is how a safety recall and a seat belt issue is supposed to work. I feel obligated to let you know, because of the safety concerns I have for myself and others who may experience something similar.

Driving vehicle and vehicle started making popping noises right rear, and vehicle felt like the rear end was fishtailing why front was still going straight. Took to certified dealer and they reported unsafe vehicle report filed due to frame rotted through on right rear where lower control arm attaches to the frame. This is a recall item for 2006 jeep liberty in may 2018 (u38). Outreached to mopar and as told no recall on VIN for this yet if authorized dealer stated it is what recall is they would file claim. When told it is, was documented on invoice, mopar stated they never said that, was nothing could do, would not file claim against u38 recall, and because unable to fix and old vehicle nothing would be done to correct this.

The driver side ball joint has broken 7 times in 1 year and has been replaced. Using 4 different mechanics assuming it was the mechanic. This has happened each time while driving. The last mechanic put an additional nut and has assumed to work. He also indicated that he has repaired other jeep liberty's with same problem in one case he welded it on, I have seen 3 others in my small town that you can see they also have a driver fender that is damaged as mine is when the ball joint breaks and tires pushes wheel fender off. This is not an isolated problem and can not believe this issue has not been addressed in a recall, it asks for a date, well the first time was spring of 2017 since then it has happened 6 additonal times

I was driving home christmas morning and a few miles before I got home the lower and higher ball joints separated from each other. I had no control of the vehicle, thankfully there was no one else on the road with me. I was headed straight on road when incident happened. Vehicle bounced many times before coming to a stop off the road. I was informed later after incident that this vehicle had a recall for what I had just described above. Vehicle was bought used from dealership and have no record or info if this recall being fixed.

I pulled out of my drive way and the and my car would not move. My ball joint broke off and my tire fell off my car. My mechanic told me the ball joint had rusted which caused it to break. He inspected the other front wheel and said it is in the same condition and is ready to break. I talked to chrysler and they said they had a recall on this problem which was called a f-23 but my car was 23 days outside of this recall date and they would not help me. I life in florida, so why are these ball joints rusting away. This could have happened on a highway instead of my driveway. Please look into this for the safety of other jeep owners. [xxx]. I will be getting the bad parts from my mechanic when the repairs are completed. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
