NHTSA Complaint #10255467 — 2002 JEEP LIBERTY

ON DEC 8, 2008 I PICKED UP MY JEEP LIBERTY FROM MY MECHANIC, HE HAD REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION OIL PAN THAT RUSTED OUT AND DRAINED ALL THE TRANSMISSION OIL OUT. ON JANUARY 6, 2009 ON MY WAY TO WORK EARLY IN THE MORNING THE TRANSMISSION BLEW OUT TOTALLY, I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK HOME AND ONCE AGAIN THE MECHANIC HAS THE LIBERTY REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. I FEEL THE TRANSMISSION OIL PAN RUSTING OUT AND LEAKING CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION BLOWOUT A MONTH LATER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID COME ON IN DECEMBER AND I HAD AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE ENGINE LOOKED AT WHEN THE WHOLE PAN BLEW OUT. THE TRANSMISSION TOTALLY DROPPING IN JANUARY COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT IF I WERE DRIVING LATER, AND I FEEL THIS COULD CAUSE MAJOR ACCIDENTS ON THE ROADWAYS ACROSS THE NATION. I HAVE COMPLAINED VIA THE WEBPAGE AT JEEP TO NO AVAIL, THIS SHOULD BE AT LEAST A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES. *TR
