  Horn stopped working. Tested actual horn another way and it operates properly but when driving it does not work Someone mentioned it could be the clock spring. Is this covered under warranty or other reports of this malfunctioning for a recall?

• 12/23/2015· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  I LOCKED MY VEHICLE AND THE ALARM STARTED GOING OFF. WENT OUT TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND IT SHOWS GATE ON THE DASHBOARD. I CHECKED THE GATE LIFT AND IT WAS SECURE. I LOCKED IT AGAIN. A FEW HOURS LATER THE ALARM WENT OFF AGAIN. I COULDN'T LOCK IT ANYMORE WITHOUT THE ALARM GOING OFF. WHILE DRIVING I CANNOT HAVE THE DASH LIT UP BECAUSE ALL OF THE INSIDE LIGHTS WILL BE ON AS WELL. AFTER READING ANOTHER COMPLAINT I ASSUME THAT IT IS PROBABLY THE SAME ISSUE HE HAD AND IT IS THE LATCH. I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE THE 17TH OF SEPTEMBER AND MY 90 DAY WARRENTY HAS EXPIRED AS OF 1 WEEK AGO SO I AM GOING TO HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED.

  I HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. APX 50K MILES THE WATER PUMP BLEW. HAD IT REPLACED - THEN APX 75K MILES I EXPERIENCED JUMP STARTS - TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO WAS ONLY DOING OIL CHANGES THAT DAY. TOOK IT TO AAA REPAIR CENTER - THEY DID A PRESSURE TEST - FOUND NOTHING WRONG. EXPERIENCED THE JUMP AGAIN - TOOK IT TO A FIRESTONE MECHANIC WHO DID A PRESSURE TEST AND "FOUND NOTHING WRONG". THE JEEP WOULD NOT START ON THANKSGIVING - HAD IT TOWED TO THE AAA CENTER WHERE I EXPLAINED WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE HEAD HAD BLOWN AND WAS NOW WARPED & CAMSHAFT BROKEN AT CONSIDERABLE COST, THEY FIXED IT, BUT NOW I HAVE A P0340 CODE (CAMSHAFT SENSOR). I LET THE VEHICLE SIT OVERNIGHT. IT SEEMED TO START FINE. AFTER 40 MILES OF HIGHWAY DRIVING THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON BRIEFLY, BEFORE SHUTTING OFF. *TR

  2012 JEEP LIBERTY, 55,000 MILES. I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I HIT THE GAS TO MOVE FORWARD AND THE TRUCK WENT NOWHERE FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS, WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY ENGAGED. THE TRUCK JERKED AND I FINALLY WENT FORWARD. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN CHECKED WITH AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC THEN BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP AS IT IS STILL UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. VERY DISAPPOINTING, AS I LOVE THIS TRUCK. I GUESS I WILL BE HESITANT TO BUY ANOTHER JEEP.

  THE 2012 JEEP LIBERTY ONLY HAS 56K THOUSAND MILE AND TRANSMISSION PAN WAS LEAKING AND RUSTING. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE AND WHY ISN'T THIS A SAFETY HAZARD/PRODUCT DEFECT. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE. THE OIL PAN ALSO SHOWING SIGNS OF RUSTING AS WELL. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS HOT AND LEAKING FLUID IS THIS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE.

• 12/15/2015· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,AIR BAGS

  I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN OCTOBER 2015, WITH ONLY 27,680 MILES ON IT AND I'M ALREADY EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH IT. LAST WEEK THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON OUT OF NO WHERE. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR YESTERDAY TO GET THE RECALL FIXED, THE TECH. TOLD ME THAT THE LIGHT STAYED ON AND THAT IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH A RECALL SO IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED. HE ALSO SAID THAT THIS WAS A MODULE (NOT SURE WHAT THAT IS) BUT IF I WANTED TO FIX IT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY A DEDUCTIBLE BECAUSE IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. MY SECOND ISSUE IS THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW CONTROL BUTTONS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY, I LITERALLY HAVE TO PULL REALLY HARD TO GET THE WINDOW UP. NOW I KNOW THAT FROM READING OTHER COMPLAINTS, THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE IN THIS CAR, I JUST DON'T WANT TO EXPERIENCE A FIRE IN THE PANEL OR ANY OTHER MALFUNCTION. IS THERE SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE, I FEEL THAT I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR MANUFACTURE ISSUE THAT ARE NOT WEAR AND TEAR.

  I HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO GET LOOKED AT BY JEEP TWICE PRIOR DUE TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING AND WAS INFORMED ALL IT NEEDED WAS A SOFTWARE UPGRADE, WHICH WAS COMPLETED. AFTER THE FIRST TIME THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME AND STAYED ON SO I RETURNED TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT BY THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AGAIN. I WAS TOLD IT WAS SAFE AND DRIVABLE. THE NEXT DAY I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR WHEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN TO BLINK AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. I HAD TO CAR TOWED BACK AND WHEN IT WAS LOOKED AT AGAIN AND I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THE HEAD WAS WARPED DUE TO THE CAR OVERHEATING. I HAVE OWED THE VEHICLE FOR 60,000 MILES AND IT HAS NEVER ONCE OVERHEATED. I AM UNSURE IF THE ENGINE RAN HOT (THE NEEDLE USUALLY SAT HALF WAY BETWEEN THE "HOT" AND "COLD" ENDS. NOW THAT I HAVE HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE I AM NOTICING THIS VEHICLE RUNS COOLER THAN MY LAST AND I AM WONDERING THE ENGINE ON MY FORMER VEHICLE WAS IMPROPERLY ENGINEERED/MANUFACTURED AND I WAS SOLD A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. THEY EMPHASIZED THAT THE OVERHEATING HAD TO HAVE OCCURRED MORE THAN ONCE FOR THAT TYPE OF DAMAGE TO OCCUR. DEALERSHIP WANTED $8000 TO REPAIR/REPLACE.

  VEHICLE IS ATTRACTIVE AND FUNCTIONAL. AIR BAGS PROBABLY SAVED THE WIFE'S LIFE IN A T BONE ACCIDENT. THE AIR CONDITIONER AND HEATER WORK GREAT. THERE IS TOO MUCH PLASTIC...EVERYWHERE! SEATS ARE UNCOMFORTABLE ON LONG TRIPS. WATER PUMP LOCKED UP WITH JUST OVER 50K MILES. TRANSMISSION IS SELF DESTRUCTING AT 62K MILES THIS MONTH. IT SEEMS THE TRANSMISSION HAS NO DIP STICK FOR THE OWNER TO CHECK THE FLUID. IF IT DID THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM COULD HAVE BEEN NOTICED SOONER. NOW WE MUST PAY FOR A TRANSMISSION AND LABOR BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY, $4K! THE VEHICLE GETS REGULAR USE IN COUNTY, CITY AND HIGHWAY TRIPS. ON NICE PAVED TEXAS ROADS. IT IS WELL MAINTAINED AND ONLY DRIVEN BY TWO ADULTS, AGE 72.I BELIEVE THERE IS A QUALITY ISSUE WITH THE DRIVETRAIN PARTS. WE HAVE OWNED OTHER JEEPS.
