What owners wrote
Tl*-the contact stated that his daughter was in a crash with her 2003 jeep liberty on 01/27/07. The airbags did deploy. He stated that early that morning, on a clear day she crashed the vehicle resulting in her death. The contact stated that from the pictures of the crash, the wheels of the driver side looked unusual. The vehicle was on recall, but he was not sure if the recall had been repaired prior to the crash. The contact was waiting for the investigation to be completed.
When driving this vehicle it sways all over the road and seems very unstable and dangerous. First thought was stabilizer bar links but those seem fine and we cannot find a cause for this issue but I'm scared to drive it.
