• 12/27/2019· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS FUELING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL TANK STOPPED MIDWAY INTO FILLING UP. AS A RESULT, THE FUEL SPILLED ONTO THE GROUND.

• 12/26/2019· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  DURING FILLING UP WITH GAS, WITH THE VEHICLE PARKED ON LEVEL GROUND WITH ENGINE OFF, THE FUELING NOZZLE WILL CLICK OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. HOWEVER, APPROXIMATELY 1 SECOND AFTER THE NOZZLE CLICKS OFF, A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FUEL SURGES BACK OUT ONTO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, THE OPERATOR, AND THE GROUND. ESTIMATE ABOUT 1-2 CUPS OF FUEL. THIS HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER FUELING FAST OR SLOW. ! ASIDE FROM DAMAGING THE PAINT AND FINISH ON THE VEHICLE, FUEL SPLASHING ONTO THE OPERATOR CREATES A VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION!

• 12/19/2015· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  I WAS DRIVING IN TOWN 30 MILES PER HOUR, AND THE LIFT GATE LIGHT CAME ON. I OPENED AND SHUT THE GATE AND THE INDICATOR LIGHT WENT OFF. I STARTED TO DRIVE AGAIN AND THE LIGHT CAME ON AGIN WHICH CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO COME ON AND SHINE RIGHT IN MY EYES. I AM GOING TO GET IT FIXED, THEY SAID THERE IS CORROSION IN THE SWITCH AND IT CAUSES THE PROBLEM. THE OTHER THING IS WHEN IT GETS COLD OUT, I CAN'T LOCK THE DOORS. IF I DO IN 5 TO 15 MINUTES THE LIGHTS START FLASHING AND THE HORN STARTS HONKING, UNTIL I UNLOCK THE DOORS. THIS HAPPENED LAST YEAR WHEN IT GOT COLD ALSO. WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT, IT WAS NOT DOING THIS, SO THEY SAID JUST SEE WHAT HAPPENS. NOW IT IS COLD AND IT IS ACTING UP AGAIN. I WORK AT A PRISON AND NEED TO LOCK MY VEHICLE. I CAN'T DRIVE IT TO WORK AT ALL RIGHT NOW.

  VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON TOP OF A HILL, TRANSMISSION IN PARK, KEY TURNED OFF. I SAT IN FRONT SEAT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES WHILE ENGINE WAS STOPPED AND TURNED OFF, I GOT OUT OF THE JEEP, OPENED THE BACK DOOR TO GET OUT SOME EQUIPMENT I WAS NEEDING FOR WORK. THE JEEP BEGAN TO ROLL DOWN THE HILL KNOCKING ME SIDEWAYS. IT WAS IN THE 2 WD POSITION. I COULD ONLY WATCH AS THE JEEP WAS HEADED FOR TWO LANE TRAFFIC, THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS JEEP HAS DONE THIS, SAME SCENARIO. BOTH TIMES THE WHEELS WERE ALL ROLLING, NOT SLIDING. I USED THE 4 WD EARLIER THE SAME DAYS, ON BOTH OCCASIONS BUT IT WAS IN 2 WD AT TIME OF ROLLING. HAD IT TOWED TO A JEEP DEALER GARAGE, THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE IT, WOULD NOT ALLOW A RENTAL CAR, HAD TO LEAVE IT WITH DEALER TO FURTHER TRY TO "REPLICATE" AND DIAGNOSE. VERY DANGEROUS! BOTH EVENTS THE JEEP WAS ON A HILL AND ROLLED TOWARDS BUSY HIGHWAYS, THANKFULLY STOPPED ON OWN WITHOUT HITTING SOMETHING OR SOMEONE OTHER THAN ME ON THE SECOND EVENT. THANKFULLY NO CHILDREN/PETS/OTHERS WERE NEAR OR BEHIND THIS VEHICLE! *TR

• 11/23/2015· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH GASOLINE OVERFLOWING FROM THE TANK OF OUR 2011 LIBERTY AFTER THE GAS PUMP HAS SHUT OFF. THIS HAPPENS AFTER THE INITIAL SHUT OFF AS WE ARE NOT TOPPING OFF THE TANK. ABOUT 1 SECOND AFTER THE PUMP STOPS AUTOMATICALLY GASOLINE WILL SPRAY OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT DIFFERENT FILLING STATIONS; SO IT DOES NOT SEEM LIKE A PUMP ISSUE. IT ONLY HAPPENS AFTER THE PUMP HAS STOPPED. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN WHILE THE GAS PUMP IS RUNNING.

  THE REAR WINDOW OPENS UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OFF AND UNLOCKED. THIS HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES, AND IT MAY BE OCCURRING WHEN THE VEHICLE IS LOCKED, AS WELL, HOWEVER, THIS HAS NOT BEEN CONFIRMED.

  ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST 5 MONTHS, MY JEEP HAS JUST RANDOMLY QUIT (ENGINE STALLED). THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD -(TWICE ON A FREEWAY, ONCE ON A SURFACE STREET)- ALL THE DASH INDICATOR LIGHTS HAVE COME ON AND MY JEEP ENGINE HAS JUST QUIT. I'VE BEEN VERY LUCKY THAT I WAS NOT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT INCIDENT. AFTER A COUPLE OF ATTEMPTS, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART MY JEEP. THERE IS NO WARNING TO THIS RANDOM STALLING, NO SPUTTERING, NO LOSS OF POWER, IT JUST QUITS WITH NO INDICATION. MY MECHANIC STATES THAT THIS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE THAT IS CURRENTLY ON A NATIONWIDE BACKORDER. THERE ARE 18 ORDERS IN FRONT OF MINE FROM MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP (THAT'S JUST ONE DEALERSHIP). THIS DEFECTIVE COMPONENT CAUSES YOUR VEHICLE TO RANDOMLY STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING - POTENTIALLY PUTTING MYSELF OR OTHERS IN DANGER OF AN ACCIDENT. I'M TOLD IT COULD BE WEEKS OR MONTHS BEFORE THIS PART IS AVAILABLE, SO EVERY TIME I GET IN MY JEEP I WONDER: "WILL THIS BE THE DAY THAT I GET IN AN ACCIDENT" OR WILL SOMEONE ELSE GET SERIOUSLY HURT BY HITTING ME? HOW MANY OTHERS ARE THINKING THE SAME THING? 100'S - 1000'S? I CAN'T AFFORD TO RENT A CAR FOR AN UNDETERMINABLE AMOUNT OF TIME, SO I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE THIS VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE AND RISK MY LIFE AND THE LIFE OF OTHERS ON A DAILY BASIS.

• 10/31/2015· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  TODAY AND SIX DAYS AGO I PARKED MY JEEP, TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND REMOVED MY KEY. I WENT TO START MY CAR ABOUT ONE HOUR LATER AND THERE WERE NO DISPLAY LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND THE SHIFT LEVER COULD NOT BE MOVED. I THOUGHT I MIGHT HAVE A DEAD BATTERY. A FRIEND STOPPED BY MY CAR. HE TRIED TO START THE CAR WITH MY KEY. NO ELECTRICAL POWER OR LIGHTS WERE PRESENT. HE OPENED THE HOOD AND SAID EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE. HE CLOSED THE HOOD HARD. HE PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND MOVED IT AROUND. THE DISPLAY LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE CAR STARTED. I HAD THE BATTERY CHECKED AND IT WAS FINE. I PUT A NEW BATTERY IN THE CAR LESS THAN ONE YEAR AGO. THE SAME THING HAPPENED TODAY WHILE I WAS AT THE POST OFFICE. IS THIS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM OR A BAD IGNITION? A NEIGHBOR SAID HE HEARD SOMETHING ABOUT AN IGNITION PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER.

  THIS JEEP LIBERTY HAS A SKY SLIDER ROOF WHICH OPENS LIKE A CONVERTIBLE TOP. THE TOP MALFUNCTIONED WHEN TRYING TO OPEN IT AND WE WERE UNABLE TO CLOSE IT ELECTRONICALLY WITH THE CONTROL BUTTONS. IT REMAINED PARTIALLY OPEN AT THE FRONT AND ALONG THE SIDES. THIS HAPPENED WHILE USING IT IN A STRAIGHT LINE AT AROUND 55 MPH ON A 2-LANE HIGHWAY IN NORTH DAKOTA WHILE ON A TRIP ABOUT 250 MILES FROM HOME. THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO MANUALLY PUSH IT DOWN MOST OF THE WAY BUT INFORMED US THAT THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY INCLUDING MOTORS, ARMS, CABLES, AND CLOTH TOP WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE PARTS WERE ORDERED 7/9/18, AND IT IS NOW 10/2/18 AND JEEP DOES NOT HAVE A SUPPLIER FOR THE PART. I CONTACTED JEEP CUSTOMER CARE 877-426-5337 ON 9/14/18 TO SEE IF THEY COULD ESCALATE THE SITUATION BUT THEY STATE JEEP IS WAITING FOR A NEW SUPPLIER. I HAVE A CASE OPENED WHICH IS ASSIGNED TO A CASE MANAGER. DRIVING IT CREATES A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE IT HAS TO BE DRIVEN WITH THE WINDOWS PARTIALLY DOWN BECAUSE THE AIR PRESSURE PUSHES THE TOP UP AND CREATES GAPS TO THE OUTSIDE AIR. IT IS DISCONCERTING AND DISTRACTING DRIVING IN THE RAIN AND HERE IN MINNESOTA IT WILL BE VERY COLD AND SNOWY SOON, WHICH WILL CREATE AN EVEN GREATER SAFETY CONCERN FOR THE 79 YEAR OLD OWNER.
