2002 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKER OFF AND ON. THE FAILURE HAS BEEN PERSISTENT FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK. THROUGH ONLINE RESEARCH, SEVERAL COMPLAINTS WERE FOUND FOR THIS VEHICLE REGARDING THE SAME COMPONENT. THE DEALER HAS NOT YET BEEN NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 107,000.

A WIRING HARNESS IN MY 2002 JEEP LIBERTY FAILS EVERY YEAR OR SO - THIS DISABLES THE ABS BRAKES AND CAUSES THE SPEEDOMETER TO WANDER AND BE INACCURATE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE HARNESS 3 TIMES (OUT OF WARRANTY) AT A COST OF ABOUT $200 EACH TIME. MY ABS SYSTEM IS DISABLED FROM THE TIME THE HARNESS FAILS UNTIL I GET IT FIXED. THE ABS LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATE ON THE DASH WHEN IT FAILS - AND STAYS ON UNTIL THE REPAIR IS DONE. *TR

JEEP LIBERTY 2002- HAD THE BALL JOINTS REPLACED AS PART OF THE RECALL, 2 YEARS LATER REPLACEMENT IS NOW DEFECTIVE. JEEP REPLACED AGAIN. *TR

WINDOW BREAKS OFF TRACK AND WILL NOT STAY IN THE ROLLED UP POSITION. THIS IS DUE TO A POOR DESIGN OF A PLASTIC CLIP THAT ATTACHES THE WINDOW TO THE REGULATOR. UNFORTUNATELY I CANT JUST BUY THE PLASTIC CLIP YOU HAVE TO BUY THE REGULATOR MOTOR,TRACK AS ONE PART. PLUS JEEP WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM WITH THE PLASTIC CLIP, SO ALL I CAN BUY IS THE SAME FLAWED PART. I LIVE IN NORTH I THINK THAT IT IS PRETTY UNSAFE TO HAVE YOUR WINDOWS FALLING DOWN POSSIBLY IN THE MIDDLE OF A BLIZZARD. I WANDER HOW MANY ACCIDENT HAVE BEEN CAUSED BUY PEOPLE TRYING TO HOLD UP THEIR WINDOW WHILE DRIVING?OR WHAT IF THE WINDOW FALLS DOWN WITH A CHILD IN THE BACK SEAT? *TR

I HAVE A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY. THERE ARE TWO CYLINDERS UNDER THE HOOD THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO KEEP THE HOOD OPEN AFTER IT IS RAISED. MINE NO LONGER DO THAT. THIS COULD PRESENT A SERIOUS PROBLEM AS THE HOOD COULD SLAM DOWN UNTO ANYONE THAT MIGHT BE LOOKING UNDER THE HOOD. I LUCKILY AVOIDED GETTING INJURED THIS MORNING AS I WAS LOOKING UNDER THE HOOD, TURNED AROUND FOR A SECOND, AND THE HOOD SLAMMED SHUT, NARROWLY MISSING ME. THERE IS A SIMILAR SITUATION WITH THE BACK WINDOW. ALTHOUGH NOT AS SERIOUS, THE CYLINDERS ON THE WINDOW ARE FAILING AS WELL. *TR

THE COMPLAINT THAT I'M CONTACTING YOU ABOUT, IS ABOUT VEHICLES THAT HAVE NON-ADJUSTABLE HEADLIGHTS. I OWN A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY WITH NON-ADJUSTABLE HEADLIGHTS. AFTER I PURCHASED MY JEEP BACK IN JULY, I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC TO GET THE HEADLIGHTS ADJUSTED BEING THAT ON A CLEAR NIGHT, VISIBILITY IS EXTREMELY POOR. I CAN ACTUALLY DRIVE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS ON HIGH BEAM WITHOUT IMPAIRING ONCOMING DRIVERS VISION. MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE JEEP ARE NON-ADJUSTABLE. TONIGHT I DROVE IN LIGHT SNOW FLURRIES AND IT WAS LIKE I WAS DRIVING IN A SEVERE SNOW STORM. I'M A TRUCK DRIVER WITH 30 YEARS EXPERIENCE AND ALSO RECENTLY HAD TO DRIVE A 2006 FREIGHTLINER WITH NON-ADJUSTABLE HEADLIGHTS. THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS TRUCK ACTUALLY FORMED AN ( X ) 20 FEET IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK. MEANING THAT THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT SHOWN TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE LEFT HEADLIGHT SHOWN TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD. JUST DRIVING IN RAIN, MY VISIBILITY WAS VERY POOR. THE RULE OF THUMB IS TO NOT TO OVERDRIVE YOUR HEADLIGHTS. WITH THE TRUCK, I SHOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING NO FASTER THAN 30 MPH AT NIGHTTIME AND MY JEEP ISN'T MUCH BETTER. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS. THE SEVERAL MECHANIC'S THAT I'VE SPOKE TO, HAVE INFORMED ME THAT A LOT OF MANUFACTURER'S ARE GOING TO THESE KIND OF HEADLIGHTS. I'M PLANNING ON PURCHASING DRIVING LIGHTS FOR MY JEEP, WHICH I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DO. THANKS *TR

JEEP LIBERTY HAS PROBLEM WITH ENGINE MISFIRE RESULTING IN A DANGEROUS CONDITION IF YOU ARE DRIVING. THE ENGINE WILL BUCK WILDLY. HAVE TAKEN TO DEALER 5 TIMES. APPEARS TO FIX PROBLEM, BUT RETURNS WITHOUT FAIL AFTER A FEW THOUSAND MILES. I HAVE SEEN MANY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS ON VARIOUS WEB SITES (GOOGLE "ENGINE MISFIRE JEEP LIBERTY 2002 3.7). CODES FROM CAR COMPUTER ARE P0354 AND P0304 INDICATING FAILURE IN COIL AND ENGINE MISFIRE. REPLACE COIL AND SPARK PLUGS PROBLEM KEEPS RETURNING. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHERS WITH SAME PROBLEM ALTHOUGH THE LAST DIGIT OF THE ODB CODES COULD BE DIFFERENT. I BELIEVE THERE IS A SERIOUS DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THE VEHICLE CAUSING THE PROBLEM. IF YOU WERE IN AN ACCIDENT AVOIDANCE SITUATION, THIS PROBLEM COULD CAUSE A CRASH AND DEATH. *TR
