NHTSA Complaint #11055396 — 2003 JEEP LIBERTY

MY MECHANIC GOT STUMPED ON SOME SUSPENSION PROBLEMS, AND LOOKED ONLINE FOR SIMILAR ISSUES. WHAT HE CAME ACROSS WAS ARTICLES BY CONSUMER REPORTS AND AUTO TRADER ABOUT RECALLS WITH JEEP LIBERTYS FROM 2003 TO 2005 THAT WILL HAVE REAR SUSPENSION, SPECIFICALLY REAR LOWER CONTROL ARMS PROBLEMS, RESULTING IN THE TIRES LOOSENING OR EVEN BREAK AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. I AM NOT A MECHANIC, BUT WHAT I HAVE READ FITS THE DESCRIPTION OF WHAT MY JEEP IS DOING, AND THE AREA OF CONCERN EXPRESSED BY MY MECHANIC. EVEN WHEN THE JEEP HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS, "OFFICIALLY" I WOULD LIKE IT LOOKED INTO AS THE PROBLEM FITS THE RECALL DESCRIPTION AND MODEL YEARS. WHEN I AM DRIVING IT, IT INTERMITTENTLY SHAKES FROM THE BACKEND, LITTLE FISH TAIL MOTIONS. IT HAPPENS AT MOST SPEEDS, BUT MORE NOTICEABLE WHEN ABOVE MAYBE 25MPH. (ALTHOUGH IT DOES IT AT SLOWER SPEEDS AS WELL) IT IS NERVE RACKING, AND NOTICEABLE FROM PASSENGERS AS WELL, AS TWICE I'VE BEEN ASKED BY PASSENGERS, "WHATS WRONG WITH YOUR JEEP?" BELOW ON THIS PAGE IT IS ASKING ME FOR A DATE OF "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?". THAT I DON'T KNOW, ITS NOT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED OVERNIGHT, ITS BEEN STEADILY CREEPING UP, GETTING WORSE. MY MECHANIC MADE MENTION OF IT A FEW MONTHS AGO. I HAVE HAD NO LUCK HAVING THIS LISTED AS A RECALL, DESPITE WHAT I MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY THAT THE PROBLEM FITS THE DESCRIPTION AND WHATS HAPPENING. I DECIDED TO FILL THIS OUT TO SEE IF ANYTHING ELSE COULD BE FOUND OR DONE WITH THE RECALL. THANK YOU
