2006 Jeep Liberty Steering Problems

“We purchased a used 2006 Jeep Liberty last year. Last night we went to drive it up the road and the right front passenger side tire disengaged from the steering knuckle and the ball joint disconnected. Luckily enough we weren't driving very fast otherwise it could have caused injury considering the tire is now almost at a 90 degree angle and we can't move the car. …”

“I own a 2006 Jeep Liberty that had a recall repair completed on the front ball joint prior to the purchase of the vehicle in 2012. Since that time, the vehicle again had a problem with a ball joint corrosion in the same location right passenger suspension. Jerry ulm refused to repair the ball joint unless I paid for the upper and control arm.. I had to repair the issue at a local shop for $500. Now it is making a terrible sound and I tried to get another dealer to repair it on a recall but they refused.”

“Key would not release from ignition after parking. Took to dealership. I advised dealership, possible shifter assembly and shift interlock cable problem, per other comments? I just received a call from them and they advised there was a piece broken in steering column and they needed to replace whole steering column. Problem 1 is there is a supposed national back order with an undetermined date of when they will get it in. …”

“A large noise followed by deteriorated control steering my vehicle. After forcing it into a parking lot, a view of underneath front drivers side revealed a large metal object broken and jammed into my wheel. This sounds like the recall #09e039000 or recall id # 91163. Local dealership states my VIN is not in this recall and cannot fix it under the recall. My make, model and year of vehicle matches the recall and I think this calls for further investigation into additional vehicles.”

“My daughters front wheel broke loose from her car while turning into a parking lot. The right front wheel came off about 2 months prior to the left wheel coming off. Both sides had broken lower ball joints. Jeep dealership told me the car was not covered since there were no recalls for this vehicle. If this had happen going down the interstate or highway it would have been a disaster. The car had to be repair onsite, because both times the wrecker company said it may damage the finder if moved.”
