| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I purchased a 2005 jeep liberty limited on 05/23/2006. prior to taking delivery of the vehicle, i took it for a test drive and i noticed that the vehicle was pulling to the right and was told by the salesperson that it probably just needed an alignment. i received an "we owe you" for the alignment. the vehicle was taken back to the dealership for the alignment. the mechanic stated on the service slip that after he performed the alignment the liberty still pulled to the right and he stated that it was due to the crowning of the roadway. the road had nothing to do with it. it has gotten worse and i even drove it on a flat surfaced parking lot, first doing about 25 mph and it pulled right and then letting liberty coast and it still pulled right. i have owned and have driven several vehicles and i have never had this problem. received a call from a customer service rep regarding the visit to the service dept. for the alignment and they were told that the vehicle was still pulling to the right and that i was not happy with my experience purchasing this jeep, they informed me that they would notified the service manager. i have not been contacted by the service manger. after doing some research on the internet, i see that jeep has had some problems with the pulling right issue, and has had some recalls. it still pulls to the right and seems to be worse. number of failures would be everytime i drive the thing. this is a major safety issue that jeep chrysler needs to get fixed. the other concern i have is with the goodyear wrangler hp tires. these are not safe for this vehicle. i was at a stop light waiting to make a left turn, completely stopped waiting for the light to turn green. it had just started to sprinkle. when the light turned green, i started to go forward and was just making my turn when the vehicle fishtailed and i spun completely around and was facing oncoming traffic. how could a vehicle spin out upon starting from a complete stop at a stop light??? *nm |
