Consumer Description

I CURRENTLY OWN A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY. AS I WAS MAKING A TURN IN THE PARKING LOT MY CAR STOPPED AND I SAW MY TIRE BENT UNDER MY CAR THE BALL JOINTS IN MY JEEP LIBERTY WENT 2 TIMES ON ME. FIRST THE LOWER BALL JOINTS BEFORE THE RECALL AND THEN THE UPPER BALL JOINTS THE CONTROL ARM AND THE AXLE FAILED ON ME JUST YESTERDAY. THE UPPER BALL JOINT FAILURE ALSO CAUSED A LARGE PUNCTURE IN MY ROTOR AND IT BENT MY AXLE. I FEAR FOR THE OTHER JEEP LIBERTY OWNERS; FOR INSTANCE WHAT IF THIS HAPPENED ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY CAUSING THE DRIVER TO LOSE TOTAL CONTROL? SOMEONE COULD HAVE LOST THEIR LIFE. THIS UPPER BALL JOINT ISSUE SHOULD BE RESEARCHED AND RECALLED. *JB
