Possible Recall 2002-2007?

[dude1116]

I don't have my letter since I threw it away
but still will stop by a dealership just to have them go look and see what they say when they see the rear of mine :headbang::headbang::Moon:

Oh I wish I could be there Tommod I need a good LOL

Oh how I agree with that statement.

hitch recall !

Oh how I agree with that statement.

I checked yesterday and jeep still has not released the parts (hitch). They told me letters have been sent out so to check back in about a week or two.
Later, Pat...

I asked my dealer about it on Monday and all the whole crew of guys could do is laugh. They have a book 4 pages thick with a waiting list. He said it will probably be a year and a half or more before they will even get started.

I got my letter a while back (parts aren't in at the dealer yet though) but my Renegade has a stock skid plate over the tank. Something tells me I wont get a free hitch thanks to that. What do you guys think? Will that matter?

This just goes to prove that Chrysler needs to speed up this process.

My Renegade has the gas tank skid plate too and the dealer told me mine is not effected, Must be because the skid plate because our gas tanks are in the exact same spot as every other liberty lol, Wouldn't mind getting a free trailer hitch though haha

Really what about GM and the ignition switches.
The KJ was built to government standards in effect then.It is still considered one of the safest in class. If people are so worried about being rear ended put a hitch and or tank skid and save receipts for Chrysler to cover.

With mine being lifted, I'm more likely to have a car slide under the rear of mine (not a truck though). I have a hitch & skid plate, so my odds of getting cremated are lessened.

Heard about that on the radio (I'm also local) this morning. Very sad to hear. I also agree that Chrysler needs to get the ball rolling faster on this so more deaths can be avoided. I'm not an engineer or anything like that but I can't see what is taking Chrysler so long since they already make/outsource a trailer hitch anyway. Just need to start making/outsourcing a whole lot more. Just my $.02 on the situation.

They were on I-81, so the collision (I would guess) was at 65+ mph.

I'm sorry the couple was killed, but no matter what vehicle is rear-ended at highway speeds is going to explode.

And, as Cherrie stated, the Liberty exceeded the requirements in place when it was built - up to and including 2007. It simply doesn't pass the current standards, put in place LONG after that Liberty was built.

You can't be charged for an offense you committed prior to it being against the law, so why is Chrysler being charged by the gov't for the same thing? Laws cannot be retroactively applied, so why are standards?

A little sensationalism and sloppy journalism as well. Notice the old coot they trotted out to emphasize the need for the recall ALREADY HAS a hitch? What's he plan to do, put TWO of them on there?

Drawing attention away from GM's recall issues.

Geez that was close to home. Surprised I missed it since I usually read that website every day.

I agree completely. Sort of like Mark McGwire and his androstenedione.

The GM thing on the other hand is complete crap on their part. Doesn't surprise me at all. I swore off GMs when I got screwed on the 3.4L intake gaskets and never looked back. I know none of them are perfect and there are plenty of greedy people just trying to save their ***** but some things are just criminal.

Deeply sorry for the couple that died. But like other I think this is stupid. When I was young my aunt ( I believe it was a Toyota Tercel ) caught fire after a front crash that caused the fuel tank to crack open. It's normal it can happen from a rear crash and it's still pretty rare.

Like how Ford Crown Vics have well over 1000 fires from rear end collisions but that get's swept under the carpet since 99% of them were police cruisers.




Sorry but you get rear ended from a vehicle at highway speeds anything can happen regardless of what vehicle your driving.
