ITEM #1 OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROL (ORC). I AM CHAGRINED WITH THE TARDINESS OF JEEP/CHRYSLER MOTORS CORPORATION IN THEIR TARDY COMPLIANCE WITH THIS RECALL (12V-527). ORIGINALLY ISSUED ON JANUARY 3, 2013, MY DAUGHTER (FORMER OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE) VISITED A JEEP DEALER IN WASHINGTON DC. THEY SAID "NO PARTS ARE YET AVAILABLE...WE WILL CONTACT YOU WHEN THEY ARE". AT A LATER DAY (MAY 2013) MY DAUGHTER VISITED THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER (COURTESY MOTOR SALES, INC., ALTOONA PA) AND INQUIRED ABOUT THE PROBLEM...AGAIN "WE CANNOT GET THE PARTS, THEY ARE NOT AVAILABLE". I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM MY DAUGHTER AND HAVE VISITED COURTESY MOTOR SALES TWICE SINCE I PURCHASED (LATEST AUGUST 27, 2013) WITH THE SAME ANSWER "WE DON'T HAVE THE PARTS AVAILABLE AND WE WILL CONTACT YOU WHEN THEY ARRIVE"! IT IS INCONCEIVABLE THAT REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE NOT BEING MADE AVAILABLE FOR THIS VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM! AT THE PRESENT TIME I...

LEARNED THRU INTERNET SEARCH THAT THERE ARE 2 RECALLS ON MY 2002 JEEP LIBERTY: (1) UNWARRANTED AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND (2) POSSIBLE GAS TANK EXPLOSION IF REAR-ENDED. I CALLED THE JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE AND TALKED TO A MATT, WHO CONFIRMED BOTH RECALL ITEMS. HE SAID I WOULD RECEIVE A LETTER FROM JEEP TELLING ME HOW TO PROCEED, BUT THAT AT THIS TIME THE PARTS NEEDED TO FIX BOTH RECALL PROBLEMS WERE BACK-ORDERED. SO I AM DRIVING A CAR IN WHICH THE AIR BAGS MIGHT EXPLODE AT ANY TIME (MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF AT WILL) AND IF I AM REAR-ENDED THERE IS A GOOD LIKELIHOOD THAT MY GAS TANK WILL EXPLODE. WHAT AM I TO DO IF ONE OF THESE OCCURS WHILE I'M WAITING FOR THE JEEP NOTIFICATION AND/OR REPLACEMENTS PART TO BE IN STOCK? I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR NOW, BUT HAVE NO OTHER OPTIONS...

THEY WERE FINE BUT WAS TOLD THAT I HAD A LEAK FROM THE EXHAUST PIPE WHICH DRIPPED ON TO THAT AREA. THE CAR...

ON FEBRUARY 16, 2005 WHILE TRAVELING EASTBOUND I-80 IN SALT LAKE CITY I HIT SOME BLACK ICE AND LOST CONTROL OF MY 2002 JEEP LIBERTY. I WAS TRAVELING FREEWAY SPEEDS AND HAD A FRONT IMPACT ALONG WITH A DRIVER SIDE ROLLOVER AND A SLIDE OF APPROXIMATELY 100 YARDS. ALL OF THE EMERGENCY PERSONNEL THAT RESPONDED TO MY ACCIDENT VOICED SHOCK AND CONCERN THAT NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. FURTHER, I HAVE HEARD THAT IF THE G-FORCE WAS NOT GREAT ENOUGH TO DEPLOY THE SIDE AIRBAGS, THE JEEP SHOULD NOT HAVE ROLLED (I HAVE NO IDEA IF THAT IS TRUE). I HAD, AND STILL HAVE, SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT WHY MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND DO NOT TRUST THAT IN THE EVENT OF ANOTHER ACCIDENT THEY WOULD DEPLOY, REGARDLESS OF THE SEVERITY. I CONTACTED JEEP AND ASKED THEM TO LOOK INTO IT. THEY DID DO SOME INVESTIGATION. HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD...

I AM WRITING TO YOU BECAUSE OF SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT THE 2002 JEEP LIBERTY I PURCHASED IN MAY OF 2002 FROM DON BESSETTE IN MINOT, ND. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 8 MONTHS AND 7,000 MILES AFTER THE VEHICLE ORIGINALLY WENT INTO SERVICE WHICH WAS SEPTEMBER 11, 2001. OVERALL THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN NOTHING SHORT OF A NIGHTMARE. I AM UNABLE TO KEEP TIRES ON THE JEEP BECAUSE IT CONTINUES TO COME OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THE VEHICLE PULLS TO THE RIGHT. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN SEVERAL TIMES TO TWO DIFFERENT JEEP DEALERS AND NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD 4 SETS OF GOODYEAR TIRES ON THE FRONT OF THE JEEP AND THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 28,000 MILES ON IT! ALL OF WHICH CONTINUE TO BE DAMAGED BY THE JEEP. EVEN AFTER THE RECALL OF THE BALL JOINT IN THE FRONT END WHICH WAS REPLACED...
