The US Government decides to further investigate Jeep Liberty defect
The federal government recently decided to step up their investigation into problems with Jeep Liberty upper ball joints and pursue an engineering investigation. Despite numerous incidents reported to both the NHTSA and Chrysler themselves from Jeep Liberty owners whose vehicles have experienced this potentially serious problem, no injuries or fatalities have occurred – yet.
If you experience a problem with your 2002 – 2006 Jeep Liberty’s upper ball joints separating unexpectedly, you should immediately report the incident to NHTSA. It’s easy to do and you can file a report online at Safecar.gov using this link. You can also contact Chrysler directly, just make sure you also report the incident to NHTSA.
Defective products like this highlight the importance of doing as much research as possible before you select a new or used vehicle for purchase. Find out more about auto safety in our legal library, where you can read articles like “How Safe is Your Automobile?”, “Are Manufacturers Taking the Threat of Rollovers Seriously Enough?”, “Who’s Looking out for Vehicle Safety?” and more.
