2002 Jeep Liberty Owner Comments

I purchased my 2002 Jeep Liberty in Dec. 05. I noticed a shimmy when depressing the brakes immediately after buying it. It had 44000 miles on it. I thought this was normal since the dealership had done a safety inspection on it before selling it to me. I noticed in mid April that the inside driver tire was almost completely worn. I took it to a local garage only to find that my lower ball joints were bad, along with the front rotors being warped beyond repair. This cost me $1100 in repairs, including the 3 new tires I purchased! my extended warranty I purchased would not cover the cost to repair. I wrote daimler Chrysler a complaint, in which they declined. I am furious after reading all the consumer complaints about ball joints failing on the liberties - even after having been fixed after the recall. A vehicle with this few miles should not have these problems!!!

Brake pads went out after 23,000 miles. Brakes did not make sqeaking noise as indicator. Metal on metal sound was only indication. Damaged the rotors and was replaced. Other rotors was resurfaced. $350 to repair. Jeep will not include as warranty even though faulty parts used. This is not safe.
