2010 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

FUEL BLOWS BACK EXPLOSIVELY WHILE FILLING TANK. DEALER REPORTS CHECK VALVE IN INSIDE THE GAS TANK NOT ON THE FILLER NECK AND THAT REPLACING FUEL TANK IN ONLY WAY TO FIX. COST ESTIMATE $1370, PLUS $146.50 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM FOR A TOTAL OF $1,517.31. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH JEEP IS WELL AWARE AND WIDELY DISCUSSED ON VARIOUS FORUMS. JEEP HAS RECALLED OTHER MODELS, BUT NOT THIS SPECIFIC MODEL AND YEAR. SERIOUS BODILY HARM AND DEATH IS A POTENTIAL WITH THIS SAFETY PROBLEM. JEEP REFUSES TO ASSIST ON ANY COST OR REPAIR OF THE VEHICLE. FUEL TANKS ARE MADE TO LAST THE LIFE OF A CAR, THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WHICH SHOULD BE DEALT WITH. CAR IS SINGLE OWNER, WAS BOUGHT NEW IN AUGUST 2010, NO OTHER PROBLEMS. CASE #28823444 AT JEEP. CALLED 3 TIMES, WAS OFFERED ZERO ASSISTANCE TO MITIGATE THE PROBLEM.

MY 2010 JEEP LIBERTY HAS A OIL PAN THAT IS ALMOST RUSTED THROUGH AS WELL AS THE TRANSMISSION PAN. I LEARNED THIS THROUGH GETTING MY OIL CHANGED AND THE WORKERS TOLD AND SHOWED ME THE DECAYING PARTS. I HAVE PICTURES OF THESE ITEMS AND BELIEVE THAT THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING BEING ITS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD. AND OF COURSE THE WARRENTY JUST ENDED.

THIS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM SHOWED UP IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE ENTIRE CAR SHUT DOWN GOING 40 MPH. LIGHTS FLASHED, WIPERS WENT OFF, HORN TOO, ALL FOR 10 SECONDS, WHILE CRUISING WITH NOW POWER/GAS. THEN THE CAR STARTED AGAIN ON ITS OWN, AND KEPT DRIVING. EVER SINCE, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS SCREWED UP. WIPERS WILL RUN, BUT DO NOT PUSH FLUID. CAR DOORS WILL NOT LOCK/UNLOCK WITH KEYFOB OR DRIVER'S SIDE CONTROLS. MUST MANUALLY LOCK/UNLOCK ALL DOORS. THE TAILGATE CANNOT UNLOCK, THEREFORE WILL NOT OPEN. FAN DOESN'T WORK, SO NO A/C OR HEAT. MECHANIC SAID THE TIPM MUST BE REPLACED, AND IT IS NOT COVERED BY JEEP/CHRYSLER WARRANTY. $1300 OUT OF POCKET! THIS IS RIDICULOUS, IT IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT.

TIPMS IS BAD. WHILE GOING DOWN HIGHWAY THE HORN STARTED BLOWING NON STOP THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND FLUID BEGAN TO GO EXTREMELY FAST, THE CAR STALLED OUT WHEN I TRIED TO TURN IT OFF BUT HORN WINDSHIELD ETC CONTINUE TO GO AFTER CAR WAS OFF AND KEYS OUT. THE LOCKS AND SECURITY NO LONGER WORK, THE AC/HEAT NO LONGER WORKS.

STARTED VEHICLE AND DROVE ABOUT 1/4 OF A MILE. THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND I HAD TO MANUALLY STEER IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. CAR WOULD NOT START AND POWER TO EVERYTHING WAS LOST. COULD NOT JUMP START EVEN THOUGH BATTERY WAS FULLY CHARGED. TURNED OUT TO BE FAULTY TIPM. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 36,000 MILES ON IT!

MY NAME IS [XXX] EMAIL [XXX] DRIVER LICENSE [XXX] VIN# [XXX] PH# [XXX] THE (HEATER CORE REPLACES 10/27/15). INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

DRIVER'S DOOR LOCK QUIT WORKING, NOW WHEN YOU PUT ON WIPERS THE CONTROL PANEL GOES BLACK OR CONSTANTLY FLICKERS. ALSO, AFTER FILLING GAS TANK GAUGE SHOWED EMPTY UNTIL MORE GAS WAS PUT IN. HAD INCIDENT WHERE ALARM WENT OFF WHILE I WAS IN CHURCH. EVERYTHING EXCEPT FILLING GAS TANK AND ALARM WAS WHILE CAR WAS IN MOTION.

AFTER MY BATTERY DIED AND WAS REPLACED, I STARTED THE ENGINE AND IT HAD DEVELOPED A KNOCKING NOISE IN THE ENGINE. I HAVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL MECHANICS AND RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET, THE 3.7L JEEP ENGINE IS BAD. AT AROUND 90,000 MILES, THE RODS GO OUT AND THE ENGINE HAS TO BE REPLACED. LUCKILY FOR ME, I WAS AT MY HOUSE WHEN THIS HAPPENED, BUT THE VEHICLE IS NOT USABLE. I HAVE HEARD WHERE THE ENGINE HAS QUIT WORKING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR THE SAME REASON. THE MANUFACTURER KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT WON'T DO ANYTHING.

OVER 2 WEEKS AGO, I WAS COMING HOME WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD, AND AS WE CAME OFF THE HIGHWAY, THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON, THEN A BUNCH OF OTHER RANDOM LIGHTS ON THE DASH POPPED ON AND BEEPED AT ME. I HEARD THE CAR DIE RIGHT AS I COASTED INTO A GAS STATION. TRIED TO JUMP WITH 3 DIFFERENT CABLES AND IT WOULDN'T JUMP. NEXT DAY, REPLACED THE BATTERY AND IT STARTED UP FINE. DROVE TO WORK (ABOUT 5 MILES) AND THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AS I CAME ACROSS A HILL. MORE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON AND IT DIED AGAIN. HAD A MECHANIC REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR, AND THEN WE HAD TO GET A 2ND NEW BATTERY BECAUSE I KILLED THE FIRST ONE. LATER THAT DAY I DROVE IT AROUND, AND AFTER ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES OF DRIVING, AS I WAS COMING UP A HILL, THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. TURNED AROUND AND CAME HOME. NEXT DAY I DROVE ABOUT 10 MINUTES ACROSS TOWN AND BACK AND THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, BUT IT MADE IT. I THOUGHT MAYBE THE BATTERY WAS JUST TRYING TO GET CHARGED UP, SO I DROVE ON THE HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND IT WAS FINE. WHEN I CAME OFF THE HIGHWAY, ALL THE DASH LIGHTS STARTED COMING ON AND DINGING AT ME... AND THEN IT DIED AGAIN IN A PARKING LOT. WOULD JUMP AT FIRST BUT RPM METER WOULD JUMP UP AND DOWN AND THEN DIE. EVENTUALLY IT WOULDN'T JUMP AT ALL. REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AGAIN. JUMPED THE VEHICLE, LET IT SIT RUNNING FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. REVVED THE ENGINE AND IT DIED. WON'T START. WON'T EVEN CLICK. CALLED JEEP AND THEY THOUGHT IT WAS A BAD PCM. MECHANIC RENTED A SPECIAL TOOL TO TEST IT. THE PCM IS FINE, BUT THE TIPM MODULE IS BAD. NOW ALL MY OTHER WEIRD ISSUES ARE MAKING SENSE: RADIO DIALS SOMETIMES DON'T WORK, SOMETIMES IT STALLS IN THE COLD AT RANDOMLY. AND THE AIR FLAP ACTUATORS STOPPED WORKING, MEANING THAT NO AIR/HEAT BLOWS OUT THE TOP VENTS. AND THEN IT DYING ON ME RANDOMLY, WITH NO OTHER WARNINGS THAT THINGS WERE GOING WRONG.

2010 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED 4X4 BEGAN TO INTERMITTENTLY START AND NOT HAVE HEADLIGHTS, SOMETIMES THE LIGHTS WOULD NOT COME ON AT ALL, OTHER TIMES ONLY THE PARKING LIGHTS WOULD WORK, AND OTHER TIMES ONLY THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD WORK. IT WAS TAKEN TO BOTH A JEEP DEALER AS WELL AS A LOCAL GARAGE AND NO ONE COULD FIND AN ISSUE. THEY TRIED REPLACING THE SWITCH BUT THIS DID NOT HELP EITHER. EVENTUALLY, THE ISSUE GOT WORSE AND THE LIGHTS HAVE NOW SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT ON HIGHWAYS, LOCAL ROADS, ECT. AND HAS BECOME UNSAFE TO DRIVE. JEEP STILL CLAIMS TO NEVER HAVE SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS HOWEVER MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS EXISTS ONLINE FOR SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, A LOCAL GARAGE TOLD ME ABOUT THE TIPM ISSUES AND EVEN UPON SUGGESTING THE REPLACEMENT OF THIS PART, JEEP INSISTED THIS COULDN'T BE THE ISSUE. NOW THE LIGHTS ARE REALLY ACTING UP, SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING, FLASHING FREQUENTLY, ONLY PARKING LIGHTS WORK SOMETIMES, SOMETIMES ONLY ONE LIGHT WORKS, AND OTHER ISSUES ARE BEGINNING (STARTING RANDOMLY, HORN / ALARM RANDOMLY GOING OFF,ECT) JEEP STILL REFUSING THAT THIS IS THE ISSUE AND WANTS TO REPLACE / REPAIR OTHER THINGS FIRST. CURRENTLY LOOKING INTO REPLACEMENT TIPM PERSONALLY, AS AT THIS POINT, THE JEEP LIBERTY IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT.
