Consumer Description

THE JEEP WAS BEING DRIVEN BY MY GRANDDAUGHTER LEAVING HER WORK AT STARBUCKS, WHEN SHE TRIED TO EXIT THE PARKING LOT THE RIGHT FRONT BALL JOINT DROPPED OUT AND THE JEEP SET DOWN ON THE A-FRAME AND STOPPED. HAD THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY SHE COULD HAVE BEEN BADLY HURT OR EVEN KILLED. CHRYSLER HAS A RECALL ON THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM FOR THE 06 JEEP LIBERTY BUT INSIST THAT A RECALL IS ISSUED BY VIN NUMBER, WHICH DOES NOT MAKE SENSE, THE BALL JOINT IS A VERY BAD DESIGN AND THE SHOULD RECALL ALL 2006 OR LATER MODELS WITH THIS CONDITION.
