Recall Notice: Chrysler has issued a recall for over 800,000 Jeep Liberty vehicles from 2002 through 2006. The recall involves a failure in the front ball joints. Extreme cases have resulted in the vehicle actually dropping onto the front tires. To date, Chrysler has received 110 complaints regarding the ball joint failure—three of which resulted in injuries.
Would the defective ball joints cause uneven wear of tires? Pulling to one side. Not sure if I need an alignment or just replace the ball joints.
I recently experience with my Jeep liberty 2003 the failure with the front ball joints leaving the tire flat of the road. This happen 5 days after taking the vehicule for a 30 thousand mile check and the dearler never told me about the recall and did not check it. They will repair my vehicule but how can they retore a body injury or death due to this deffect.
My 2002 Liberty’s right front balljoint broke in half, which caused front tire to lock up. Fortunately I was just making a left hand turn on a backroad in Atlanta, GA.
I had just returned from a driving trip to Florida, and count my lucky starts this did not happen while moving down the road @ 70+ mph.
Get the recalls done! This could save a life, for sure!!!!!! Diamler-Chrysler reimbursed me for the repairs…Gin
