Filed Dec 29, 2018 · Suspension · 140,000 miles · TX

Lower ball joint broke from corrosion. This is recalled on 02-06 models but not 07. However, my jeep was manufactured in 2006. I was pulling into my driveway and felt something break below me. As I pulled further in I felt a grinding noise. Had I been driving faster I would have wrecked my car.

A scrubbing/squeaking noise started on the left front tire of my 2007 jeep liberty. I took the car to my mechanic and it was diagnosed as being the control arms on the front of the vehicle. Then the recall came out for the rear control arms. I took the car into the dealership to have the rear repaired and was also told by the dealership that the front needed to be replaced. While leaving my car for repair another liberty came in with the left front wheel assembly separated from the car. The control arm had fractured/broke. If faulty parts were used on the rear it would seem that the same manufacturer would be used to supply the front parts. The dealership also explained that they had several of the same model come in with the front control arm problems

The stability control warning light comes on at arbitrary times and then remains on for the reminder of my drive. When making right hand turns at speed, there is a "grinding" noise that eminates from the left front tire & almost feels like I will lose control of the vehicle. Took vehicle to the dealer and diagnostic revealed it was a faulty clock spring in the steering column and that the steering angle sensor is erratic, thereby causing the slippage. Part is on back order for a *minumum* of three weeks from the manufacturer - was informed that there are 113 of these backordered parts across the country, which leads me to believe that this has the potential for being a recall issue. The issue of the slippage only happens while making right hand turns and never when making left hand turns. The only way to avoid this issue is to almost literally stop on busy roadways to then turn right. Was informed that my vehicle will not be safe on water-covered roadways and am extremely concerned about this considering the upcoming inclement weather we are expecting as a result of the hurricane, but yet it is my only means of transportation to and from work.

We have a 2007 jeep liberty and this is the 3rd time in 2 years that we will have to have a window regulator replaced. My wife and I came back to the car and found the window down about 3" when we tried to roll it back up nothing happened. We attempted to take it in around the end of october because it was making a grinding noise, but the dealership said they did not have time to fix it that day. Now our warranty is expired and we will have to pay for this repair. I feel jeep needs to step up to the plate and recall these regulators.
