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 towed to a repair shop. The repair shop inspected the vehicle and determined that both rear trailing arms had completely rusted/rotted through and fractured. The technician specifically stated that the failure was caused by severe corrosion. According to the technician, after both trailing arms broke, the rear axle was no longer properly restrained and the rear wheels/axle assembly were moving significantly. The rear differential/driveshaft assembly moved upward and struck the fuel tank protective guard/plate with significant force. Fortunately, the fuel tank was not ruptured. The shop also documented damage to the rear differential and driveshaft and advised that the vehicle is unsafe to drive. We are the original owners of this vehicle and purchased it new. The vehicle has only approximately 72,000 miles. The trailing arms failed suddenly during normal, low-speed driving. The repair facility has photographs documenting the severe corrosion and failed rear trailing arms, as well as a written inspection report documenting the failure.

Is 197 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2009 and 2026, roughly 12 a year, which is more than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.
