Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT. MAJOR SNOW STORM AND TRYING TO GET HOME FROM WORK. PUT THE CAR INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE, SHAFT BROKE FROM INTERNAL CONNECTOR AND NOW IT IS PERMANENTLY STUCK IN FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. 4WHEEL DRIVE IS HORRIBLE, SPUN OUT GOING 10 MILES PER HOUR WHILE GOING UP HILL, ALMOST GOT STRUCK BY A TRUCK. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I'VE FOUND THAT IT IS WIDELY KNOWN AMONG THE INDUSTRY THAT THE JEEP LIBERTY HAS A POORLY DESIGNED AND FAULTY 4 WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM BUT JEEP REFUSES TO RECALL TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR
