NHTSA Complaint #10712800 — 2005 JEEP LIBERTY

I WAS COMING HOME THE DAY BEFORE THE HOLIDAY. IT WAS A BUSY DAY AROUND 4:30 PM. I BEGAN HEADING DOWN THE HEEL AND THE CAR JUST TURNED OFF. I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART, STEER, BRAKE OR CONTROL ANY ASPECT OF THE CAR. UNFORTUNATELY WHEN THE CAR STOPPED, IT THREW ME FORWARD INTO THE DASH. FORTUNATELY, THE GENTLEMAN THAT WAS IN FRONT OF ME SAW ME WAVING AND YELLING I COULDN'T STOP AND RISKED HIS LIFE BY PULLING IN FRONT OF THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO ALLOW MY CAR TO CONTINUE SOARING DOWN THE HILL. ONCE I REACHED THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL, MY VEHICLE CAME TO REST BETWEEN TWO LANES OF A FOUR LANE ROAD. MIND YOU THIS ROAD HAS HILLS COMING FROM BOTH WAYS. FORTUNATELY AGAIN, A TOW TRUCK DRIVER CAME ALONG AND STOPPED TRAFFIC UNTIL HE COULD SAFELY TOW ME INTO MY DRIVEWAY (FREE OF CHARGE). WHEN I TRIED STARTING THE VEHICLE AGAIN IT RAN LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO BLOW UP AND RATTLED SOMETHING TERRIBLE. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND THEY EXPLAINED THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF ANY SUCH SITUATION REGARDING MY TYPE OF VEHICLE. HOWEVER, AS THE STORIES BEGAN SPILLING INTO THE MEDIA, IT WAS LIKE RELIVING THAT MOMENT OVER AND OVER AGAIN, BUT UNFORTUNATELY FOR SOME THEIR SITUATION DIDN'T TURN OUT AS WELL. HOW LONG WILL THIS MAJOR MOTOR COMPANY BE ABLE TO RISK HUMAN LIVES JUST TO MAKE A PROFIT. WHY DON'T THEY JUST ADMIT THAT THEY USED DEFECTIVE PARTS TO MAKE A BIG PROFIT AND IT HAS NOW BACK FIRED. *TR
