• 12/30/2014· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,AIR BAGS

  MY AIR BAG LIGHT INDICATOR ACTIVATED, AND AT THE SAME TIME MY HORN STOPPED WORKING! AFTER HAVING IT CHECKED OUT BY A REPAIR SHOP, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLY IS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THIS ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MALFUNCTION OF AIR BAGS IN OTHER 2006 JEEP LIBERTY'S; HOWEVER, RECALLS OF THIS PROBLEM APPLY TO OTHER VIN NUMBERS (BEGINNING WITH THE LETTER K). I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY A JEEP DEALERSHIP THAT THE COST OF REPAIRS WILL EXCEED $400.00, AND THAT MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLY'S ARE THAT MUCH DIFFERENT AMONGST THE DIFFERENT VIN NUMBERS? I AM HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS, AND IN THE MEANTIME I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IN ADDITION TO HAVING NO HORN THAT MY AIR BAGS WOULD NOT EMPLOY IN THE EVENT THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE KILLED IN A VEHICLE FOR ANOTHER VIN NUMBER TO BE CHECKED OUT ON THE CURRENT LISTING? *JS

• 12/23/2006· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  I HAVE A 2003 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT AND I WAS RECENTLY DRIVING IT WHEN THE ENTIRE SYSTEM COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT RESTARTED AND I WENT A LITTLE FURTHER AND IT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AGAIN. I LOST POWER TO STEERING AND WAS FORTUNATELY ABLE TO GUIDE IT OFF THE MAIN HIGHWAY WITHOUT ANY POWER. IT WOULD NOT CONTINUE RUNNING AFTER THAT. IT WOULD START BUT THEN SHUT DOWN RIGHT OFF. I ENDED UP HAVING IT TOWED TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP WHERE I FOUND OUT TWO SENSORS IN THE COMPUTER HAD GONE BAD. I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE THE SENSORS REPLACED IN ADDITION TO THE TOW. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I HAD BEEN ON AN INTERSTATE GOING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND THOSE SENSORS WOULD HAVE GONE BAD CAUSING ME TO LOSE POWER IN TRAFFIC. I WONDER IF SOME FATALITIES AND INJURIES HAVE RESULTED FROM THIS SITUATION WITH OTHER VEHICLES. I THINK ITS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND JEEP SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED TO SEE IF THEY ARE USING DEFECTIVE SENSORS IN THE JEEP LIBERTY. I ONLY HAVE 65 THOUSAND MILES ON THIS VEHICLE AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT TAKING IT ON ANY LENGTHY TRIPS. I FEEL ITS A DANGER ON THE HIGHWAYS WITH THESE SENSORS. *NM

I WOULD LIKE THIS LOOKED INTO AS MYSELF AND NUMEROUS OTHER OWNERS OF THE 2005-2006 JEEP LIBERTY WITH THE DIESEL ENGINE EXPERIENCE THE SAME ISSUE.

• 12/20/2013· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM FAILS TO STOP DELIVERING FUEL AFTER TANK IS FULL; THUS RESULTING IN FUEL OVERFLOWING THE TANK AND ONTO THE CAR EXTERIOR, GROUND, ETC. THIS OCCURS REGARDLESS OF THE SPEED AT WHICH THE FUEL IS DELIVERED INTO THE TANK. THIS HAS OCCURRED THROUGHOUT OUR OWNERSHIP OF THIS JEEP, AND THE INCIDENT DATE REPRESENT THE APPROX. DATE OF PURCHASE. THIS SAME ISSUE WAS OCCURRING IN THE 2008 JEEP WRANGLERS (OF WHICH I OWN ONE) AND WAS SUBJECT TO A RECALL. UPON THE RECALL REPAIR (NEW TANK, ETC), THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED. PRIOR TO THE 2006 JEEP LIBERTY, WE OWNED A 2003 JEEP LIBERTY, WHICH DID NOT HAVE THAT ISSUE. *TR

  AT THIS FIRST OCCURRENCE, WHILE PULLING OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP PARKING LOT WITH THE VEHICLE, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW DELL INTO THE DOOR. I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY INFORMED ME THEY WOULD FIX IT FREE OF CHARGE. THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE WINDOW FALLING DOWN OCCURRED IN JUNE 2010 ABOUT A YEAR AFTER PURCHASE, AFFECTING THE RIGHT REAR WINDOW, WHICH HAD NOT EVEN BEEN USED. I FOUND OUT THEN THAT THERE WAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE WINDOW REGULATOR IN 2006 & 2007 JEEP LIBERTYS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. THE 3RD OCCURRENCE, WITH THE LEFT REAR WINDOW IN NOVEMBER OF 2010, MADE ME GET ONLINE AND FILE THIS REPORT AFTER CARMAX REFUSED TO HONOR THEIR WARRANTY ON THIS REPAIR AND SENT ME TO JEEP WHO CHARGED 100 DOLLARS FOR IT. CHECKING THE SERVICE HISTORY THROUGH JEEP.COM, I FOUND THAT THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR THIS PROBLEM AT LEAST TWICE WITH THE PREVIOUS OWNER. I WOULD LIKE FOR THE CHRYSLER COMPANY TO TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS AND ISSUE A RECALL, REPAIRING THE PROBLEM IN A WAY THAT IT STAYS FIXED, RATHER THAN REPLACING THE WINDOW REGULATOR WITH MORE FAULTY PARTS AS THEY HAVE BEEN DOING. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS AND DISTRACTING IF IT FALLS WHILE TRAVELLING DOWN THE HIGHWAY OR, IN MY CASE, OVER 2 HOURS FROM HOME IN FREEZING TEMPERATURES WITH A 7 MONTH OLD BABY IN THE SEAT BY THE WINDOW.

  WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK TO FULL WITH THE PUMP NOZZLE SET TO AUTOMATIC, THE TANK SPITS OUT 1/2 TO 1 GALLON OF GAS BEFORE THE NOZZLE DISENGAGES. THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS PUMP. THE SAME PUMP WAS USED ON OTHER CARS WITHOUT INCIDENT. THIS HAPPENS ON THIS JEEP LIBERTY REGARDLESS OF WHAT PUMP IS USED. ON OCCASIONS, THIS EXCESS FUEL HAS GOTTEN ONTO MY CLOTHES WHICH POSES A SAFETY HAZARD. I'VE INVESTIGATED THIS ON THE INTERNET AND MANY JEEP OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I NO LONGER USE THE AUTOMATIC NOZZLE SETTING BUT THIS IS UNSATISFACTORY BECAUSE OTHERS FILLING THE TANK ON MY BEHALF MAY NOT BE AWARE OF THIS.

WHEN THAT LIGHT FLASHES IT STARTS TO SHAKE PRETTY BAD. DETERMINED THAT CYLINDER 1 HAS LOW COMPRESSION.

  WHEN FILLING UP MY GAS TANK, THE FUEL WILL SPIT BACK OUT. THIS HAPPENS AT THE BEGINNING, MIDDLE, OR END OF WHEN I'M FUELING UP. IT'S MORE LIKE A GEYSER OF FUEL SPILLING BACK AT ME THAT GETS ALL OVER ME, THE CAR, AND MOST DANGEROUSLY, ALL OVER THE GROUND OF THE GAS STATION. IT HAPPENS NEARLY EVERY TIME I FILL UP. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT GAS STATION I AM AT, OR HOW I'M POSITIONING THE HOSE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER A YEAR, BUT HAS GOTTEN INCREASINGLY WORSE RECENTLY.

I CHECKED ALL FLUIDS (FINE), I JUST HAD OIL, OIL FILTER AND BREATHER FILTER CHANGED A FEW WEEKS AGO AND THEY CHECK ALL FLUIDS. I TURNED LITES, WIPERS, TURN SIGNALS AND RADIO ON (WORKED FINE), HORN WORKED. WITH MY KEY IN THE IGNITION, I HAD NO PROBLEM TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. I OPENED MY DRIVER'S DOOR AND SAW IT SHOW UP AS "DOOR" ON THE DASH PANEL AND NOTICED ENGINE LITE ON. I DEPRESSED AND HELD BRAKE PEDAL DOWN AND WAS ABLE TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND BACK TO PARK WITH NO PROBLEM. I HAD A FRIEND COME AND LOOK AT MY LIBERTY, AND HE CHECKED AND DID EVERYTHING I DID. WE BOTH THOUGHT IT WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH. I INFORMED THE BANK THAT I WAS HAVING CAR PROBLEMS AND HAVE TO LEAVE IT IN THEIR PARKING LOT OVER NITE. I HAD THE JEEP LIBERTY TOWED TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP IN STUART FLORIDA THE NEXT DAY (12/12/2012). THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE PIN IN THE IGNITION SWITCH BROKE OFF AND FELL INSIDE AND THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE STEERING COLUMN. AND IT WOULD COST OVER $1000.00.
