NHTSA Complaint #10592538 — 2002 JEEP LIBERTY

GOOD AFTERNOON, I RECEIVED A REAR STRUCTURE REINFORCEMENT LETTER FROM CHRYSLER AND THE NATIONAL TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION STATING THAT CERTAIN 2002-2007 MODEL YEAR JEEP LIBERTY VEHICLES CONTAIN DEFECT RELATED TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY. PROBLEM: THE FUEL TANK ON VEHICLE HAS A SMALL CHANCE OF EXPERIENCING A FUEL LEAK DURING CERTAIN TYPES OF REAR END COLLISIONS. FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE CAN RESULT IN AN UNDERBODY FIRE. WHAT DEALER WILL DO: CHRYSLER INTENDS TO INSPECT YOUR VEHICLE AND INSTALL AN OEM TRAILER HITCH WHERE APPROPRIATE, FREE OF CHARGE (PARTS AND LABOR) TO BETTER MANAGE CRASH FORCES IN LOW-SPEED IMPACT I CALLED THE DEALER AND IT TURNS OUT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM, AND CHRYSLER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SENDING THEM THE PARTS. THEY SAID I WOULD RECEIVE ANOTHER LETTER ONCE THEY HAD RECEIVED THE PARTS BUT I NEVER RECEIVED A LETTER/CALL BACK. I RECEIVED THE RECALL LETTER A FEW MONTHS AGO AND YET HAVE NOT RECEIVED A CALL AND JUST ABOUT FORGOT ABOUT UNTIL MY HUSBAND ASKED ABOUT IT. I AM ALMOST 8 MONTHS PREGNANT AND QUITE WORRIED DRIVING THE CAR BUT I NEED IT. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME GET THIS RESOLVED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE IN 2 WEEKS I'M GETTING MY FUTURE CHILD'S CARSEAT INSTALLED AND WOULD LIKE THIS OTHER SAFETY PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP AND ATTENTION *JS
