2007 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

SINCE I'M LIMITED TO WORD USE I'LL TRY TO KEEP IT SHORT LOSS OF POWER TO TURNS OFF AND DOESN'T WANT TO RESTART, CRUISE CONTROL, MIRRORS, HALF OF FUSE BOX, WINDOWS OFF AND ON, IGNITION STARTS ON IT'S OWN WHEN IN THE START POSITION, TRACTION LIGHT NOW COMES ON, ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT HAS COME ON, PART TIME LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN IN 2 WD. I CAN FEEL HOW IT'S TRYING TO SWITCH BACK AND FORTH. THIS VEHICLE IS BECOMING A LEMON. I'VE CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP, CRANK AND CAM SENSORS AND ALSO CHANGED SWITCHES IN THE STEERING COLUMN. IN WHICH NONE OF FIXED THE PROBLEMS. AFTER TALKING TO THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THE WIRING HARNESS NEEDS TO BE CHANGED BUT THAT PART IS DISCONTINUED.... THE VEHICLE ISN'T 10 YEARS OR OLDER AND AFTER RESEARCHING THESE ISSUES THERE ARE MANY MANY LIBERTY OWNERS WITH THESE SAME ISSUES. HOW CAN WE FIX OUR VEHICLES IF THIS PART ISN'T AVAILABLE TO US OR THE DEALERSHIP??? JEEP HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ALL ALONE BUT DOESN'T WANT TO HAVE TO DO A RECALL ON EVERY SINCE JEEP TO FIX THIS ISSUE BUT I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER JEEP UNLESS THEY FIX THE ISSUE.. I LOVE THE VEHICLE OTHER THAN THE PROBLEMS I'M HAVING. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY GIVEN TIME WITHOUT NOTICE AND IS BECOMING WORST. IF I LOSE POWER AND I'M DRIVING THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WITH LOTS OF INJURIES IF NOT DEATH. PLEASE MAKE JEEP FIX OUR VEHICLES. I CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY A NEW VEHICLE. THIS BODY IS IN GREAT SHAPE

WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT, (LITERALLY MOVED MAYBE 2 INCHES) THE LOWER FRONT CONTROL ARM AND BALL JOINT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BROKE SUDDENLY. FROM WHAT I HAVE FOUND DURING MY RESEARCH THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF ISSUES WITH THIS SAME PART FAILING WITHIN THE LAST YEAR. MORE SO, THERE WAS A RECALL OF THE REAR CONTROL ARM/BALL JOINT AND THE FRONT WAS RECALLED ON THE 2005 MODELS IN 2006. THERE IS CLEARLY AN ISSUE WITH THE CONTROL ARMS IN 2005-2007 LIBERTY MODELS. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THE FRONT CONTROL ARMS SHOULD BE RECALLED. THE FAILING PART APPEARS TO HAVE CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE TIRE AS WELL AS THE TIRE APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN LEANING INWARD AND RUBBING ALONG SOMETHING ALONG THE INTERIOR, UNDERSIDE OF THE WHEEL WELL. IT IS A GOOD THING THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TRAVELING AT ANY SIGNIFICANT RATE OF SPEED OR THERE COULD HAVE BEEN SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE OR DEATH.

TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR N46 RECALL. THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS LEVEL 5 CORROSION, CANNOT COMPLETE THE RECALL. AFTER REVIEWING THE INFORMATION AND REVIEWING CHRYSLERS DETAILED WORK INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE FIX WITH PICTURES OF THE VARIOUS LEVELS OF CORROSION (SEE PAGE 8 IN RCRIT-13V252), THINGS DIDN'T MAKE MUCH SENSE. I CALLED THE DEALER BACK AND THEY STATED THE THREADS NOT THE FRAME HAD LEVEL 5 CORROSION. FURTHER IN ON PAGE 10-11 IT TALKS ABOUT REPLACING THESE STUDS IF THEY ARE CORRODED. THEY OFFERED NO REMEDY FOR THE SITUATION OR CORRECTION NEEDED TO PREPARE THE THREADED STUD, THEIR INSTRUCTIONS SAY TO REPLACE ANYWAY. I'M LEFT WITH AN UNSAFE VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT MY FAMILY IN. ATTACHED ARE THEIR DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS AS WELL AS A PICTURE OF THE AREA IN QUESTION.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED ON THE DASH BOARD. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND FOUND OUT THAT THE AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING WAS NO LONGER OPERATIONAL. IN ADDITION, THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE FEATURE, CRUISE CONTROL, AND AIRBAG ARE NO LONGER OPERATIONAL. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS PART FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND IT IS NOT AVAILABLE IN MOST CASES. THE ORIGINAL COST FOR THE CLOCKSPRING RANGED FROM $80 TO $130 DEPENDING ON THE DEALER. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIND ONE CLOCKSPRING AND THE DEALER WANTED $650 FOR THE PART PLUS INSTALLATION, AND HE ONLY HAD ONE AVAILABLE.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE ON NOVEMBER 29,2014 A YEAR LATER THE JEEP START BREAKING DOWN SUCH AS OVERHEATED AND WATERPUMP ENGINE LIGHT ELECTRICAL KEEP GOING OFF POWER WINDOWS SEEM OFF TRACK ALL FOUR WINDOWS .PRESSURE TO DRIVE IT NOT PICK UP SPEED LIMIT

WITH KEY IN ON POSITION IT TRIES AND WILL CRANK BY ITSELF. ALSO NOT GETTING POWER TO SOME OF THE FUSE BOX AND THE PART TIME LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN IN 2WD. WHEN ASKED JEEP DEALER I WAS TOLD THEY NEVER HEAR OF THIS AND WHEN RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM THERE WERE TONS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND NO RESULT OF WHAT TO DO. ALL ISSUES THEY JUST WANT TO CHARGE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX.

THE WINDOWS IN THE CAR HAVE SUDDENLY FALLEN SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN 2007. THE FIRST TIME (2007)THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THE PROBLEM WAS ADDRESSED. ANOTHER WINDOW REGULATOR WAS REPLACE UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PERIOD. SINCE THE WARRANTY ENDED, THE WINDOWS HAVE FALLEN SEVERAL TIMES. ONCE I PAID FOR THE REPAIR SINCE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY HAD ENDED, BUT RIGHT REAR WINDOW FELL IN 2015(HAD BEEN REPAIRED THE FIRST TIME IN 2007) AND THE RIGHT FRONT FELL TODAY(2016). THE WINDOWS FELL WHILE DRIVING BOTH ON HIGHWAYS AND CITY STREETS WHICH IS A MAJOR DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING. THE WINDOW FELL TODAY WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH AND MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN. THE WINDOW REGULATORS WERE FAULTY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS BUILT AND THE COMPONENTS USED TO REPAIR THEM HAVE THE SAME ISSUES.
