What owners wrote
Tl*the contact owns a 2003 jeep liberty. In december of 2006, while driving 55 MPH, the steering wheel began to shake uncontrollably. The contact was unable to immediately stop the vehicle. There was snow on the ground at the time of the failure. The mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. Most recently, while driving 35 MPH, the steering wheel began to shake uncontrollably and the vehicle rolled over and crashed into a ditch. Three passengers were injured and the vehicle was destroyed.
I was on my way home when it became very hard to steer the vehicle which resulted in a accident,also the airbag never deployed. The insurance company did in fact total the vehicle.
