NHTSA Complaint #10638315 — 2007 JEEP LIBERTY

CHRYSLER INSTALLED A TOW HITCH A PART OF RECALL N46, BUT ARE ADVISING OWNERS THAT THE TOW HITCH DOES NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT STRENGTH FOR ANY TOWING. IF IT IS NOT STURDY ENOUGH FOR TOWING, HOW CAN IT BE STURDY ENOUGH TO PROTECT THE GAS TANK? IS IT NOW A PROJECTILE TO PUNCTURE THE TANK? IS CHRYSLER INSTALLING SUB-STANDARD HITCHES, WHICH FUTURE OWNERS MAY USE? CHRYSLER WHEN CONTACTED INDICATED A WARNING STICKER NOT TO TOW IS INCLUDED, HOWEVER, THE STICKER READS "CHRYSLER RECOMMENDS YOU REMOVE THE BALL & BALL MOUNT WHENEVER YOUR VEHICLE IS NOT ACTUALLY IN USE OF TOWING" ALSO NO WIRING IS INSTALLED WITH HITCH WHICH MAY LEAD SOME TO TOW WITHOUT PROPER LIGHTS. HAVE THEY HAVE CREATED ANOTHER SAFETY HAZARD WHILE TRYING TO CORRECT THE OTHER? *TR
