2010 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

HEATER CORE LEAKING ON MY FOOT WHILE DRIVING BURNT ME. AND ANTIFREEZE ON CARPET MADE MY SHOES SLIPPERY AND WHEN I TRIED TO BRAKE MY FOOT SLIPPED OFF THE PEDDLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP LIBERTY. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, IT WAS FOUND THAT THERE WAS ANTIFREEZE LEAKAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000. UPDATED 04/06/16*LJ UPDATED 10/17/2017*CN

IT WAS THE MIDDLE OF AUGUST 2013- SUPER HOT OUTSIDE AND MY CAR STARTED LEAKING ANTIFREEZE ALL OVER THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR. THE AC STOPPED WORKING! TURNS OUT THE HEATER CORE HAD TO BE REPLACED. COST OVER $800. THEN IN DECEMBER OF 2014 - I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE HEAT. THE DEFROST STOPPED WORKING AND THE WINDOWS WOULD GET FOGGED UP. AND THEN THAT SMELL STARTED- ANYONE WHO HAS HAD THEIR HEATER CORE REPLACED KNOWS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. THIS TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER-COST 900. (TOTAL COST $1300.)THIS JEEP HAS BEEN THE WORST PURCHASE OF MY LIFE. I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL CARS AND I CAN NOT BELIEVE HOW MANY THINGS HAVE GONE WRONG WITH THIS CAR. RIGHT NOW- ITS AT THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN- NOW FOR DIFFERENTIAL GEARS $1100 (TOTAL COST 1575.00 INCLUDES FRONT WHEEL BEARING) MY CAR ONLY HAS 80,000 MILES ON IT. BE WARNED- DO NOT BUY JEEP LIBERTY.

TANK SPILLS GAS ON EVERY FILL-UP. NO MADDER HOW SLOW YOU FILL IT. BUT SLOWER FILLING SPILL LESS GAS THEN FAST FILLING. ALWAYS HAVE TO WIPE UP EXCESS GAS THAT SPILLS DOWN FENDER. THIS CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE EVERY TIME YOU FILL UP. *TR

STARTED MY VEHICLE LIKE ANY OTHER DAY AND SUDDENLY A WHOLE LOT OF WHITE SMOKE CAME OUT THE REAR EXAUST. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN TWO DAYS LATER AND AGAIN IN ANOTHER DAY. SO I WENT ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY PROBLEMS WITH WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT ON ANY 2010 JEEP LIBERTY AND I LEARNED THERE WAS A PENDING INVESTIGATION INVOLVING THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE FAILURE AND IN THE DESCRIPTION IT SAYS THERE'S WHITE SMOKE PRESENT. *TR

CAR STALL WHILE GOING 40 MILES PER HOURS LOST ALL POWER HAD TO STEER AS BEST TO THE SIDE TO AVOID REAR ACCIDENT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE DRIVER SWERVED TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID HITTING A DEER. AS A RESULT, THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED INDEPENDENTLY IMPAIRING THE DRIVER'S VISION AND CRASHED INTO A GUARD RAIL. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED HEAD INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000. UPDATED 8/6/15*CN UPDATED 9/20/2017*CN

COOLANT LEAK- TOOK TO CARMAX SERVICE IN HILLSIDE,IL FOR DIAGNOSIS INFORMED THAT THE COOLANT WAS LEAKING FROM WATER PUMP. SERVICE CONSULTANT INFORMED ME THAT HE SPOKE TO A GUY FROM JACK PHELAN DEALERSHIP IN COUNTRYSIDE, IL AND WAS INFORMED THAT BY SEARCHING MY VIN NUMBER IN THERE DATABASE THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE WATER PUMP FOR MY 2010 JEEP LIBERTY. STATES THAT COOLANT LEAKS FROM WEEP HOLE IN WATER PUMP, WAS THEN INFORMED THAT I CAN BRING MY VEHICLE IN TO BE SERVICE AT NO CHARGE BECAUSE OF THIS RECALL. COULD NOT FIND ANY INFO ONLINE OR NHTSA WEBSITE SO THAT'S WHY I AM FILING A COMPLAINT SO A RECALL CAN BE ADMINISTERED TO INFORM OTHER JEEP LIBERTY OWNERS OF THIS ISSUE. *TR

ABOUT A QUART OF GAS WILL "BURP" OUT DIRECTLY AFTER THE PUMP HAS KICKED OFF, SPILLING OVER THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ONTO THE PERSON PUMPING GAS. THE ODD THING IS THAT IT ACTUALLY SHOOTS OUT UNDER SOME PRESSURE. THE PROBLEM IS NOT CAUSED BY OVER-FILLING. AT THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. THE SPILLAGE IS A MAJOR ISSUE BY ITSELF, BUT I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY ISSUES IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS. WILL THIS PROBLEM CAUSE A FIRE HAZARD DURING AN ACCIDENT? IF I REPLACE THE GAS TANK NOW, WILL I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AFTER THE NEXT 45,000 MILES. REPLACING THE TANK IS EXTREME AS A REGULAR MAINTENANCE ITEM. *TR

I WAS FILLING UP MY VEHICLE WITH GAS AND IT OVERFLOWED AND IT CONTINUES TO DO THAT EVERY TIME I FILL UP. ITS A FIRE HAZARD AND A WASTE OF GAS. *TR
