NHTSA Complaint #10326550 — 2006 JEEP LIBERTY

AT 16,000 MILES MY HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING HOSE WENT OUT ON MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY AND AGAIN AT 46,000. THE DEALER CLAIMS THIS IS "NORMAL" AND THERE IS NO RECALL ON A FAULTY PART. IF IT WEREN'T $462 I WOULDN'T THINK TWICE ABOUT IT. I GOT A SECOND ESTIMATE FROM THE GUY WHO WORKED ON MY OLD CAR(MAIN ST. GARAGE, FIRPLAY CO) AND HE SAID THAT HE'S SEEN QUITE A FEW JEEP LIBERTY'S COME IN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM...ONE LAST WEEK AND BEFORE THAT THERE WERE 3 OTHERS IN A 2 WEEK PERIOD. HE ALSO STATED THAT JEEP IS NOW USING A DIFFERENT COMPANY TO SUPPLY THEM WITH THE PART WHICH, TO ME, MEANS THEY KNOW THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE OLD ONE. *TR
