NHTSA Complaint #10785703 — 2005 JEEP LIBERTY

WE RECEIVED THE NOTICE ABOUT THE GAS/FUEL TANK POTENTIAL TO CATCH FIRE, WE TOOK OUR VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER EXPLAINED THAT WE HAVE TOO MUCH CORROSION ON OUR VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED. THE COST TO REPAIR EXCEEDS THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE, CURRENTLY WE ARE STILL DRIVING WITH A VEHICLE THAT MAY CATCH FIRE. WE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AS WE STILL ARE PAYING OFF THE VEHICLE, WE WHERE GIVEN THE RUN AROUND UNTIL FINALLY ONE ASSOCIATE TOLD US SIMPLY, THEY WILL NOT HELP YOU. PRIOR TO THIS RECALL NOTICE WE HAVE CONSTANTLY HAD ISSUES WHEN FILLING UP WITH GAS AND THE GAS WOULD LEAK OUT IN LARGE QUANTITIES INSTEAD OF SHUTTING OFF. WE REPLACED THE OIL PAN RECENTLY AFTER IT RUSTED OUT, WE ARE ABOUT TO REPLACE TO TRANSMISSION FLUID PAN AS THAT IS ABOUT TO RUST OUT, THE TRANSMISSION LINES ARE ALSO RUSTING AND CORRODED. OUR JEEP MAY BE AN 05 BUT IT LOOKS AS IF ITS BRAND NEW ROLLING OFF THE LINE, WE TAKE CARE OF OUR VEHICLE. WE ARE INFORMED CONSUMERS AND KNOW THERE IS A RECALL FOR CHRYSLER FAILING TO FIX THE FUEL TANK EXPLOSION ISSUES, WHEN WE LOOKED UP THE VIN FOR OUR VEHICLE IT WAS NOT SHOWING THAT IT IS ONE OF THE ONE'S BEING RECALLED. OUR VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND WE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. WE WANT TO KNOW IF OUR VEHICLE WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. WE STILL HAVE ALL THE PAPERWORK FROM VISITING THE DEALER. WHEN WE TOOK THE VEHICLE UP FOR THE RECALL, THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US THAT JEEP HAS ISSUES WITH RUST TO BEGIN WITH AND THAT IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT HAS YET TO BE CORRECTED.
