Consumer Description

2005 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT WITH 74,000 MILES. FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS NEED REPLACEMENT BECAUSE OF CORROSION. IF NOT REPLACED THE WHEELS MAY FALL OFF CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT THAT MAY LEAD TO DEATH. THIS ISSUE WAS FOUND INADVERTENTLY WHILE GETTING AN OIL CHANGE. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT DRIVE ANY DIFFERENTLY OR MAKE ANY PARTICULAR NOISES THAT MIGHT ALERT THE DRIVER THAT THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP IN 2005 AND HAS NEVER BEEN USED AS AN OFF-ROAD VEHICLE. THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE HAS BEEN VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND SHOULD NOT BE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY, DAIMLER CHRYSLER IS NOT ADDRESSING THIS PROBLEM WITH A RECALL. HAVING THE FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS REPLACED WILL COST UPWARDS OF $1000.00. *TR
