| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2002 jeep liberty limited ed. which i had an accident in last year2006. this accident was due to a recall of the ball joint. i didn't recieve the recall letter until 2 weeks after my accident that made me tottaly unaware of any problems. i turned the accident over to my ins. co. to fight while my car sat at the dealership where i bought the vehicle. accident details: at aprox. 45 mph the wheels locked up due to the ball joint rod rubbing a hole on the inside of the wheel housing bringing the car wheels to lock up. ( any faster the car probably would have flipped. it took 3.5 months of my ins. co. arguing with chrysler over the issue before they accepted responsiblity even though it was obvious fault. my concern now is i went to trade in the car this week and the damage over $2500 majorily reduced the value of my vehicle. (which i did express after the accident) i was offered only$5000 with normal trade in would go for $8000-$9000. ( the low trade in value i was told by the sales manager due to the accident) i feel chryslers delay of fault and non-compensation of vehicle value loss is very poor business, especially them being a large financially stable automotive manufacture dishonest with a middle class chrysler driver/worker. i would like for chrysler to fully handle a failure on there part to compensate for all financial details of my accident. i would like to express one more issue! i feel they did not take any hurry to inform drivers of the serious vehicle issue that could have very easily caused a fatality. date is not exact i need to get it from ins co> |
