NHTSA Complaint #10003061 — 2002 JEEP LIBERTY

I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE TWO DAYS AFTER PURCHASE IN THE RAIN WHILE TRYING TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN. THE VEHICLE WENT STRAIGHT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION, UP AND OVER THE CURB AND INTO SOMEONES FRONT YARD. REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP. TWO MONTHS LATER I HAD MY SECOND EXPERIENCE THAT ALSO HAPPENED IN THE RAIN. I WAS TRYING TO COME TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN AND COULD NOT STOP THE CAR. AT THIS TIME I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING FOUND. THE SERVICE DIRECTOR AT THE TIME REFERRED TO IT AS OPERATOR ERROR AND THOUGHT THAT I WOULD GET USED TO THE VEHICLE. THEN SEVEN MONTHS LATER ON JANUARY 1, 2003, I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE ON THE BELTWAY TRYING TO AVOID SOMETHING IN THE ROAD. IT WAS RAINING. I WAS GOING THE SPEED LIMIT (55 MPH) AND MY CAR STARTED TO SPIN AND ENDED UP GOING SOUTHBOUND IN THE NORTHBOUND LANES AND FINALLY CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE DIVIDING WALL. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I FEEL VERY FORTUNATE TO BE ALIVE AND THAT NO ONE ELSE WAS HURT. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT IS CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR POSSIBLE DEFECTS. I FEEL THAT I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE HAS A TENDENCY TO PULL TO THE RIGHT.
