MY SON WAS DRIVING A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL JAMMED ON HIM APPROACHING A CURVE HE SLAMMED THE BRAKES BUT THE VEHICLE KEPT SKIDDING UNTIL IT INVADED THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD HIT A TREE(IF NOT FOR THE TREE HE WOULD HAVE FALLEN OFF THE MOUNTAIN SIDE!!). IN NO MOMENT DID THE AIR BAGS ACTIVATE. ABOUT 3 OR 4 DAYS LATER I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE F23 - LOWER BALL JOINTS THAT INDICATED THE BALL JOINTS COULD CORRODE & SEPARATE RESULTING IN A LOSS OF THE STEERING CONTROL. I GOT IN CONTACT WITH THE COMPANY WHERE THEY ASK FOR PICTURES OF THE ACCIDENT (WHICH I E-MAILED TO THEM) BUT CANNOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE (OR WILL FORFEIT ANY CLAIMS THEY SAY)THEREFORE LEAVING ME WITH NO TRANSPORTATION AND STILL HAVING TO PAY THE BANK THE CAR LOAN. I ASKED THE DAIMLER CHRYSLER REP IF THERE WAS SOME KIND OF CAR ASSISTANCE PROGRAM IN A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS AND HAVE RECEIVED NO REPLY PLUS I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT AN APPRAISAL WILL BE DONE IN ABOUT 2 WEEKS FROM NOW. IS THERE ANYWAY THIS PROCESS CAN BE SPED UP OR AREN'T THEY SUPPOSE TO LEND ME A VEHICLE UNTIL THIS IS RESOLVED? *JB
