2004 Jeep Liberty involved in recall N46/NHTSA 13V-252 ( fuel system, structure). Received written notification from Chrysler that vehicle would be repaired by dealer when parts were available. This was months ago and monthly calls to dealer and still no part available. This has surpassed the reasonable amount of time for repair.

Recall notification NHTSA 13V-252 was issued on 12/11/2013. Recall notice states "Chrysler is making all reasonable efforts to obtain the parts as quickly as possible. Chrysler will contact you again by mail, with a follow-up notice, when the remedy parts are available." That follow-up notice was never received by me. After calling the Chrysler group recall assistance center on 5/1/2014 to inquire, was informed that parts are not yet available and that it has not yet been determined how the Jeep are to be fixed. There is no estimated date for remedy of this problem. In my opinion, this is an unreasonable time period to wait for correction of such a potential hazard as fuel tank leakage during certain types of rear end collisions.

Months ago I received a vehicle safety recall. The recall is in regard to my fuel tank having a chance of fuel leak during certain types of rear end collisions which can result in an underbody fire in the presence of an ignition source. I have made three different inquiries and follow up, 1st with my local Chrysler dealer than with Chrysler group recall assistance in regard to an eta of parts and expediting this process which as far as I am concerned and have been notified, is a serious safety concern. I have been told the same thing everytime that the parts must not be available yet. I need your help motivating the appropriate parties to expedite this process. My safety is at stake and the issue here and I am becoming impatient. Please get back to me asap with a follow up and some results. The recall # I think is N46/ NHTSA 13V-252.

Recall N46 is taking too long to resolve. Contacted stafford Dodge of fredericksburg - 2 April 14 - no parts. Contacted Chrysler - 2 April 14 - have not yet released parts - must issue 2nd recall notice first. Repeat - this potentially dangerous recall is taking far too long. Note - there has been no incident with this vehicle.

I'm writing a follow up concerning a important safety recall I received about middle of January stating that the fuel tank on my vehicle has a small chance of experiencing a fuel leak during certain types of rear end collisions. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in an underbody fire. Also said that I need to wait for a follow up notice in the mail, but so far I got nothing. Waiting this long is normal for this kind of safety recall?? I haven't have any incidents but I wrote and incident date as today because if not it wouldn't let me submit this. Thank you and hope to hear from someone soon.

Was alerted by internet blog in Feb. Of 2013 that rear collisions on this model of Jeep Liberty (2004) may cause gas tank to rupture creating a fire hazard. Responses to the blog indicated that a class iv or better trailer hitch may absorb the impact, thus increasing the chance that the gas tank would not be damaged. This explanation sounded reasonable and therefor I opted to have a class iv draw tite hitch installed as a precaution. This hitch meets or exceeds oem specs. I received a recall notice several months later regarding this issue. The notice stated if I had purchased and installed a trailer hitch after the initial purchase of vehicle that I would be reimbursed if I sent proof of purchase. I sent an invoice and a copy of the cancelled check as instructed. I was notified by phone that my claim was not valid as I failed to purchase an oem hitch. My hitch meets or exceeds oem specs as I mentioned earlier. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide to help me recoup my expenses.

I was sold a vehicle with a known safety defect, ie the fuel tank and filler neck. I have been notified of the recall, but am told there are no parts available for repairs. I believe that this vehicle should not have been sold to me and I believe that Jeep / Chrysler should be doing a buy back / voucher to get these vehicles out of service reducing the potential for injury and death.

2004 Jeep Liberty. Consumer writes in regards to gas tank could explode if hit from rear and trailer hitch needs to be installed to protect gas tank. The consumer had the hitch installed, by a company that was recommended by Chrysler. However, several days later, the consumer received a call from Chrysler saying the hitch that was installed was the wrong one, and he would not be getting reimbursed. Also, the power steering pump failed.
