2003 JEEP LIBERTY
Filed Oct 9, 2026
On XXX, my [XXX] son was actively operating my 2003 Jeep Liberty. While driving at approximately 15 MPH, the vehicle’s airbags spontaneously and violently deployed without warning. There was absolutely no collision, impact, or external force that triggered this event. The vehicle did not hit another car, a guardrail, a curb, or any significant road debris. This was a completely unprovoked, spontaneous, and inadvertent component failure while the vehicle was in motion. INJURIES AND DAMAGES…

Filed Sep 12, 2026
The front passenger side lower ball joint corroded, failed, or detached while I was driving, causing the front of the car to basically fall onto the tire/steering to fail. I had to immediately pull over right before entering the highway as it was undriveable. Thankfully I wasn’t going fast bc this could’ve caused a crash or flipped my car. There was a recall for this exact issue for 800,000 Jeeps of the same make, model, and year, but this exact VIN wasn’t included in the recall. No warning…

On August 26, 2026, while driving my 2010 Jeep Liberty with approximately 72,000 miles, I was making a low-speed right turn from a stop when I suddenly felt a significant jolt that initially felt like I had driven over a large object. Immediately afterward, whenever I pressed the accelerator, the rear of the vehicle shook violently and made loud thumping noises. When I released the accelerator and coasted, the vehicle was smooth. I pulled over within approximately 200 feet and had the vehicle…
