Jeep Liberty Wheels Safety Report | Mar 23, 2012
Reported on Mar 23, 2012
| I WAS HEADING TO FRIEND'S PLACE AND HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF THE HIGHWAY WHEN I PULLED INTO HER STREET. I WENT UP A SLIGHTLY RAISED DRIVEWAY IN ORDER TO TURN THE CAR AROUND WHEN I HEARD A LOUD, GRINDING SOUND. I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE SOMETHING HAD GOTTEN STUCK UNDER THE CAR, SO I GOT OUT TO CHECK BUT SAW NOTHING. I GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND CONTINUED TO REVERSE IT IN ORDER TO PARK, BUT THE NOISE STARTED RIGHT BACK UP AGAIN AND STEERING HAD NOW BECOME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. I EVENTUALLY PARKED THE CAR, GOT OUT AND NOTICED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL WAS BENT IN BECAUSE THE BALL JOINT HAD COME OUT. I KNOW THAT THERE WERE RECALLS REGARDING THIS IN 2003, 2006 AND 2009. I AM PLANNING TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW TO ALERT THEM OF THE SITUATION. HOWEVER, ANY HELP THAT YOU CAN HELP ME WOULD BE GREAT! THANK YOU! *TR | |
