• 12/30/2010· SUSPENSION

  MY WIFE AND I WERE RETURNING FROM VACATION WHEN WITHOUT WARNING THE CAR ACTED LIKE IT WAS GOING OVER A WASH BOARD SURFACE FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN CAME A LOUD BANG AND THEN NO POWER. THE VEHICLE PULLED HARD TO THE LEFT BRIEFLY (WE WERE IN THE PASSING LANE). I STRUGGLED TO GET THE CAR OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER AND SHUT IT DOWN. THERE WAS A TRAIL OF OIL ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT CONTINUED POUR OI OUT OF THE ENGINE AFTER I STOPPED. PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT, THE CAR WAS RUNNING CORRECTLY AND NONE OF THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CAME ON UNTIL AFTER THE EVENT. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS AT ITS USUAL TWELVE O'CLOCK POSITION. ONCE OFF THE ROAD I OPENED THE HOOD. THERE WAS OIL ALL OVER THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE. THE SERPENTINE BELT AND THE TENSIONER PULLEY HAD BEEN RIPPED OFF THE ENGINE. WITH A FLASHLIGHT, I COULD SEE THE FRONT FEW INCHES OF THE FRONT SKIDPLATE. THE WERE FRAGMENTS OF METAL ON IT ALONG WITH OIL. I CHECKED THE OIL FILTER UNDER THE CAR AND IT WAS INTACT. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO GATOR CHRYSLER-JEEP IN MELBOURNE, FL. THE CAR WAS EXAMINED ON 11/30/2010 BY THE DIESEL TECH WHO TOLD US THAT HE HAD NEVER SEEN ONE OF THESE ENGINES FAIL LIKE THIS. HE ALSO TOLD US THAT HE HAD SPOKEN TO A CHRYSLER ENGINEER AND THAT ENGINEER SAID MUCH THE SAME. THE TECH TOLD US THAT HE HAD FOUND TWO HOLES IN THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE BLOCK AND THAT THE SKIDPLATE WAS COVERED WITH SHRAPNEL FROM THE ENGINE. THE TECH ALSO TOLD US THAT THE OIL PAN LOOKED LIKE SOMEONE HAD TAKEN A SHOTGUN TO IT. A DEALER SERVICE WRITER SHOWED ME AT LEAST ONE OF THE OTHER HOLES FOUND TOWARD THE BACK OF THE BLOCK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I PUT IN A CLAIM WITH CHRYSLER. IT WAS REJECTED. THEY CLAIM "INSUFFICIENT LUBRICATION". ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AT GATOR, THEY DID NOT OPEN UP THE ENGINE TO SEE WHAT REALLY HAPPENED AS CHRYSLER WOULD NOT AUTHORIZE SUCH ACTIVITY. VEHICLE YEAR: 2005 VEHICLE MAKE: JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED 4 X 4 ENGINE: 2.8L TURBO DIESEL MILEAGE AT FAILURE: 77,594. *TR

  JEEP ANNOUNCED A RECALL ON 2005 JEEP LIBERTY'S, RECALL #05V460000. THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN BY MY DAUGHTER WHO IS A STUDENT AT JOHN'S HOPKINS IN BALTIMORE. DUE TO HER WORK LOAD, I FLEW FROM NOVI TO BALTIMORE MD, TO HAVE THE RECALL SERVICE COMPLETED AND AN APPOINT MENT MADE ON 12/9 WHEN THE NOTICE WAS RECEIVED. I ARRIVED AT THE DEALER , ANTWERPEN AND THE TIME ASSIGNED AND AFTER HOUR I AM INFORMED THAT THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. I POLITELY ASKED THAT WHEN MY DAUGHTER RETURNS THE CAR TO BE REPAIRED THE NEXT TIME THAT THEY PROVIDE HER WITH TRANSPORTATION, SINCE WE MADE AN APPOINTMENT AND I FLEW OUT TO GET IT DONE. GRANTED I WAS THERE TO HELP HER WITH OTHER ISSUES, BUT THIS WAS THE MAIN REASON FOR THE TRIP. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS NOT POSSIBLE. I THE CONTACTED DAIMLER CHRYSLER (CASE NUMBER 14424386). THEY CALLED ME BACK SEVERAL HOURS LATER TO TELL ME THAT THEY SUPPORT THE DECISION OF THE ANTWERPEN JEEP IN BALTIMORE AND WILL NOT PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION. I UNDERSTAND THAT RECALLS HAPPEN, BUT MY ISSUE IS THAT IF I TAKE TIME TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT, AND THEN THEY CAN NOT PERFORM THE SERVICE ON A SAFETY RECALL, DAIMLER CHRYSLER OR ANTWERPEN HAS TO ASSUME THE LIABILITY OF PROVIDING MY DAUGHTER TRANSPORTATION WHILE THE VEHICLE IS RETURNED FOR SECOND TIME. *JB

  WHEN PUMPING GAS INTO MY CAR, WHEN IT APPROACHES FULL, GAS SPILLS OUT OF THE TANK. IT DOES NOT RECOGNIZE WHEN THE CAR IS FULL WITH GAS, AND GAS SPILLAGE OCCURS. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE FOR A DIAGNOSIS INTO A JEEP DEALERSHIP. THE STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDS REPLACEMENT WHICH WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY 1600 DOLLARS. THEY WOULD ONLY COVER 50 PERCENT, WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD, AND WILL NOT TAKE ANY OTHER RESPONSIBILITY WITH HELPING WITH THIS REPAIR. *TR

• 12/27/2011· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  I OWN A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY, EVERY TIME I FILL THE CAR UP WITH GAS, IT SPITS OUT AT ME. NOT JUST A LITTLE, IT GETS ON MY CLOTHES, RUNS DOWN MY CAR AND QUITE A BIT ENDS UP ON THE GROUND. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A LONG TIME. I THOUGHT THIS WAS UNIQUE TO MY VEHICLE, BUT I HAVE FOUND OUT A LOT JEEP LIBERTY OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM I DO. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN TO GET FIXED THEY SAID IT COST $2100. THE PEOPLE AT CHRYSLER THAT I HAVE TALKED TO ADMIT THEY HAVE SEEN A LOT OF THIS AND WERE WILLING TO WORK WITH ME, BUT IT WOULD STILL COST ME $500. I BELIEVE THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO ME AND THE ENVIRONMENT AND THESE VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT JUST UNIQUE TO JEEP LIBERTY, BUT TO OTHER JEEP PRODUCTS. *TR

• 12/27/2006· SUSPENSION

  I HAD MY VEHICLE IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALER WHO SOLD ME MY 2005 JEEP LIBERTY AND WAS INFORMED AT THAT TIME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED PREVIOUS TO THAT. THAT IS NOT MY MAJOR COMPLAINT. MY AREA OF CONCERN IS THAT I HAD TO PUT MY NAME ON A LIST AND WAIT UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. THE RECALL IS FOR BALL JOINT AND WHILE IT COULD LEAD TO A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT CHRYSLER SEEMS UNCONCERNED. MY DEALER TOLD ME THAT CHRYSLER SENDS OUT 20,000 LETTERS PER WEEK TO NOTIFY CUSTOMERS OF THE PROBLEM BUT ONLY PRODUCES 1,000 UNITS THAT WILL RECTIFY THE PROBLEM AND MAKE THE VEHICLE SAFE TO DRIVE. I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE DOING EVERYTHING THAT THEY CAN TO PROTECT THEIR CUSTOMERS. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN MY OWN VEHICLE. *NM

• 12/27/2006· POWER TRAIN

  I BOUGHT A NEW 2005 JEEP LIBERTY FROM CHRYSLER. IT HAS LESS THAN 30,000 MILES ON IT (WARRANTY IS FOR 36,0000/3YEARS). I HAVE ALWAYS KEPT IT IN GOOD CONDITION, AND HAVE DONE ALL MAINTENANCE (OIL CHANGES, TIRE ROTATION, ETC.) .A FEW OF MY OIL CHANGES WERE DONE AT AN OIL SHOP, EVEN AT THE DEALER. SO, OUT OF THE BLUE (NO WARNING LIGHTS, OR "STRANGE" SOUNDS PREVIOUS TO THIS) AS SOON AS I STARTED IT, I HEARD A FUNNY "CLANKING" SOUND. I GOT IN, FIGURED I''D BE CAUTIOUS, AND TAKE IT AROUND THE BLOCK.WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS, THE "CLANKING" NOISE INCREASED. SO, I PARKED IT AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP. FIRST, THEY LOOKED AT AND SAID THEY WEREN'T SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, BUT WOULD HAVE THE ENGINE TECH. LOOK AT IT. HE FINALLY DID (AFTER 3 DAYS OF HEARING NOTHING) AND SAID THAT I HAD A ''BAD VALVE''. THEN THEY CALLED ME A DAY OR SO LATER AND SAID THAT MY "ENGINE HEAD" WAS BAD AND THAT THE ENTIRE ENGINE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I ASKED WHAT THE CAUSE OF THIS AND THEY SAID THAT MY OIL WAS SLUDGED UP SO BADLY THAT IT KNOCKED THE ENGINE APART! NOT TO MENTION, WOULDN''T THE FIRST TECH. HAVE NOTICED SOMETHING SO OBVIOUS??? NOW THEY ARE SAYING THEY WANT ME TO PAY THE $6,000 TO REPLACE THE ENGINE EVEN THOUGH IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY! THE ONLY WAY THEY WILL COVER IT, IS IF I BRING ALL OF MY OIL CHANGE RECEIPTS IN. WELL, DON'T HAVE ALL OF MY OIL CHANGE RECEIPTS! NOWHERE IN THE WARRANTY BOOK DOES IT STATE THAT YOU MUST KEEP ALL RECEIPTS! I'VE CONTACTED CHRYSLER VIA EMAIL, AND THEY SAID, "WE CONCUR WITH THE DEALER...'' SO NOW I'M AT A STAND STILL AND VERY FRUSTRATED! I'M A SINGLE MOM THAT HAS SPECIAL NEEDS CHILD, AND NEED MY CAR TO TAKE HIM TO THE DR. FREQUENTLY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. BUT I DO KNOW THAT I'M ANGRY AND FEEL THAT THIS IS UNFAIR, DISHONEST! ACCORDING TO MY RESEACH THIS "OIL SLUDGE" PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING THAT CHRYSLER HAS SAID TO MANY CUSTOMERS. PARTICULARLY WITH 3.7 ENGINES OF 2002-06 JEEPS.

• 12/26/2012· POWER TRAIN

  WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WAITING TO TURN LEFT. WHEN THE STOP LIGHT TURNED GREEN I ATTEMPTED TO PROCEED WITH THE VEHICLE. INITIALLY WHEN I DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR NOTHING HAPPENED. AFTER ABOUT 15 SECONDS THE VEHICLE LURCHED DRAMATICALLY FORWARD INTO OPPOSING TRAFFIC. WE WERE VERY LUCKY THAT THE ONCOMING CARS WERE ABLE TO SWERVE TO AVOID THE VEHICLE. I TOOK IT IN TO A REPAIR FACILITY AND THE INSPECTION SHOWED THAT IT WAS A TRANSMISSION FAILURE.THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED ON 5 SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR SIMILAR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. IN SPEAKING WITH THE MECHANIC PERFORMING THE REPAIR HE INDICATED THAT CHRYSLER HAD SEVERE PROBLEMS WITH THE 42RLE TRANSMISSIONS. I'M FILING THIS COMPLAINT AS I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO PRODUCE A VEHICLE WITH AN INHERENT DEFECT THAT CREATES A SEVERE SAFETY IMPAIRMENT. *TR

• 12/23/2007· FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL

  THE FUEL FILTER HEAD UNIT ON MY 2005 JEEP LIBERTY CRD DIESEL HAS A DEFECTIVE DESIGN. IT IS A WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE WITH OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES. THE FUEL HEATER IN THE FILTER HEAD APPEARS TO OVERHEAT AND CAUSE A FUEL LEAK. THIS CAUSES A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO OCCUR AS FUEL LEAKS ONTO WIRES WHICH ARE USED TO POWER THE FUEL HEATER. ONCE THIS LEAK BEGINS, IT INTRODUCES AIR INTO THE FUEL SYSTEM WHICH CAN DAMAGE THE INJECTOR PUMP OR CAUSE A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER WHICH MAY CAUSE A TRAFFIC HAZARD. I HAVE TAKEN PICTURES OF THE EFFECTED PARTS.

  TWO YEARS AGO MY JEEP STARTED MAKING METALLIC GRINDING SOUNDS AND VIOLENTLY SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY. I LOOKED UNDER MY CAR AT THE FRONT DRIVE SHAFT TO SEE IT BREAKING APART FROM THE INSIDE OUT. I NOTIFIED CHRYSLER AND AFTER A LONG CONVERSATION THEY AGREED TO FIX IT ADMITTING IT WAS A FAULTY PART. YESTERDAY THE NOISES AND SHAKING CAME BACK WITH THE NEWLY REPLACED FRONT DRIVE SHAFT. CHRYSLER ADMITS ITS A UNFAIR SITUATION BUT REFUSES TO REPLACE THERE FAULTY PART ONCE AGAIN. THIS WILL CAUSE A ACCIDENT AS IT WILL HAPPEN UNEXPECTEDLY. THANK YOU FOR TAKING MY COMPLAINT. *TR

PUT THE CAR INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE, SHAFT BROKE FROM INTERNAL CONNECTOR AND NOW IT IS PERMANENTLY STUCK IN FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. 4WHEEL DRIVE IS HORRIBLE, SPUN OUT GOING 10 MILES PER HOUR WHILE GOING UP HILL, ALMOST GOT STRUCK BY A TRUCK.

  WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, I HEARD A CLUNK. MY BACK WINDOW BEHIND DRIVER HAD SLIPPED DOWN. I CALLED MY PERSONAL MECHANIC, NOT DEALER, AND HE DIAGNOSED IT OVER THE PHONE AS THE REGULATOR. HE TOLD ME IT WAS COMMON IN JEEPS. WHILE AT THE MECHANIC'S, ANOTHER CUSTOMER SAID HER FATHER'S JEEP HAD DONE THE SAME THING. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME TO BE GLAD THAT MY WINDOW DID NOT BREAK. I WAS CHARGED TO REPLACE THE REGULATOR $300. I HAVE NO CHILDREN AND MY BACK WINDOW IS NEVER USED. TOO MANY PEOPLE HAVE SPENT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR THIS REPAIR. THIS IS DEFINITELY AN INFERIOR PRODUCT AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. CUSTOMERS SHOULD NOT BE EXPECTED TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR.

MY CONCERN IS THE RECALL STATES THE FOLLOWING:"WHEN THE DRIVER CONTINUES TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH THIS CONDITION, THE CONTAMINATION CAN LEAD TO CORROSION, ACCELERATED WEAR AND POSSIBLY SEPARATION FROM THE STEERING KNUCKLE CAUSING A LOSS OF VEHICLE STEERING CONTROL INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH."

  ON MONDAY NIGHT, AT AROUND 8:30PM, I WAS DRIVING BACK HOME AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, TAKING A LEFT, AND FROM THE INSIDE OF THE CAR, MY FRIEND AND I HEARD A LOUD POP NOISE, THEN SOME LOUD GRINDING NOISE AFTER. I QUICKLY SHIFTED THE CAR TO PARK, JUMPED OUT OF THE CAR THINKING THAT I HAD A FLAT TIRE. THE TIRES WERE INTACT. MY CAR REFUSED TO BUDGE, EVEN AFTER THE POLICE CAME AND WE HAD PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, AND TRIED TO PUSH IT OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION OF TWO ROADS. THE CAR REFUSED TO BUDGE. RIGHT AFTER THE GETTING OUT OF THE CAR, I NOTICED THAT THERE THE CAR HAD BEGUN TO LEAK FROM UNDER THE HOOD ONTO THE GROUND. I HAD TO CALL TRIPLE A TO GET THE CAR TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP - GRAVA JEEP DEALERSHIP - AND THE NEXT DAY, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP CALLED AND SAID THAT IT WAS THE LOWER BALL JOINTS - WHICH WAS A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE JEEP LIBERTY '05, AND BECAUSE THE LOWER BALL JOINTS HAD SEPARATED, IT HAD CAUSED RIM DAMAGE TO THE CAR, MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH - AS IT WOULD DAMAGE AND DEFLATE MY TIRE. THE POWER STEERING LINE WAS ALSO FOUND TO BE LEAKING, OF WHICH I HAD NEVER HAD ISSUES WITH UNTIL THE BALL JOINT HAD SEPARATED, AND THE CAR WAS ATTEMPTED TO BE MOVED TO SAFETY (THAT WAS WHEN WE SAW THE LARGE PUDDLE OF LIQUID DRIPPING OUT OF THE CAR). GRAVA DEALERSHIP HAS AGREED TO REPLACE THE LOWER BALL JOINTS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE DAMAGE TO THE RIM OR THE POWER STEERING, ALTHOUGH THE LOWER BALL JOINT CAUSED THE DAMAGE TO THE RIM WHEN IT BROKE APART, AND SAID BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY A POSSIBILITY THAT THE LOWER BALL JOINT COULD HAVE CAUSED STRESS TO THE POWER STEERING, AND ISN'T DEFINITE, I WOULD HAVE TO COVER THE ENTIRE COSTS. I CALLED THE REIMBURSEMENT DEPARTMENT OF CHRYSLER EXPLAINING THE SITUATION AND THEY KEPT TRANSFERRING ME TO SUPERVISORS, SENIOR STAFF, OTHER CUSTOMER REPRESENTATIVES, UNTIL FINALLY TODAY - 12/16 - I CALLED 2 MORE TIMES, AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD ONLY COVER 25% OF THE RIM DAMAGE. *TR

  WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE NO LONGER CAUSES THE GAS NOZZLE AUTOMATIC CUTOFF VALVE TO OPERATE BEFORE FUEL IS OVERFLOWING DOWN THE SIDE OF VEHICLE AND ON THE GROUND. UNTIL THIS FALL, THE VEHICLE USUALLY CUTOFF THE NOZZLE AS THE TANK WAS FULL - VERY FULL - BUT PRIOR TO OVERFLOW. STARTING TWO MONTHS AGO, THE TANK ALWAYS OVERFLOWS AT EVERY PUMP USED. THIS GASOLINE SPILL SEEMS DANGEROUS AND IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN.
