Liberty ball joint recall- nine months!!!
 

I know there are some of you floating around with Liberty's that have been
recalled because of lower ball joints that may fail.

This recall was announced on 8/1/06, and the recall began on 9/11/06. My
wife did not get her recall notice until the middle of March, more then six
months after the recall started.

I called my dealer to have the work done, and was told the earliest I could
get it in was June 11, nine months after the start of a recall to fix a
problem that can lead to a collapse of the front end and lose of your
steering.

The recall notice says that if your dealer can not fix the defect within a
reasonable time to call NHTSA or go to their website and let them know.

To me, nine months is not reasonable. I filed a complaint against
DaimlerChrysler, and let my dealer know. They were glad I did, and wished
others would do the same.

National Highway Traffic Safety Admin- 1-888-327-4236.

www.safercar.gov and file a safety defect complaint form, voicing your
concern about not getting this done in a reasonable time frame.

Good day,
I just brought my Liberty in for servicing and the dealership replaced
the ball joints under recall/ warranty. No questions asked. No delay.
No problems.

Re: Liberty ball joint recall- nine months!!!
 

Goo day,

It's unfortunate that this nine month wait has happened to this
fellows wife. However, The dealership I deal with, when asked about
delay's concerning ball joint replacement, stated "that they keep a
large number of Liberty ball joints on hand, just for that reason"
When I asked if all local dealers did, the service manager simply said
""yes"

Now, as far as your comment!
I don't understand?
