2010 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

AS I WAS LEAVING WORK, I STARTED UP MY JEEP AND THE FLASHERS STARTED FLASHING BY THEMSELVES. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES OF TURNING THE JEEP ON AND OFF, TURNING THE HAZARD SWITCH ON AND OFF, IT FINALLY STOPPED. A FEW WEEKS LATER, FOR THE 5TH TIME, MY JEEP REFUSED TO START AFTER A STOP AT THE LOCAL PHARMACY. THE HORN HAS NOT WORKED FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW, AND RIGHT BEFORE IT DIED, IT WOULD HONK RANDOMLY WHETHER THE JEEP WAS PARKED, KEY IN THE IGNITION OR NOT. IT HAS ALSO STALLED A FEW TIMES ON THE FREEWAY. DEALER HAS RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT OF THE TIPM AND SAYS THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. *TR

THE SEAT BELT WILL NOT LATCH. THE PART THAT IS SUPPOSE TO RETRACT TOO LOCK THE METAL GUIDE OF THE SEAT BELT DOES NOT RETRACT. THE METAL GUIDE OF THE SEAT BELT IS BLOCKED FROM ENTERING THE RECEIVING UNIT. *TR

DURING PRODUCTION OF MOST JEEP MODELS USING THE JR ENGINES, THERE WAS AN ISSUE IN THE COOLING SYSTEM CAUSING BLOCKAGE OF THE HEATER CORE, RADIATOR, ENGINE BLOCK, THERMOSTAT, AND/OR WATER PUMP. THE ISSUE IS WELL KNOWN BY JEEP OWNERS FROM MAINLY 2010-2012 JEEPS, BUT CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ADMIT AND FIX THE ISSUE. THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE TYPICALLY HAS BEEN LINKED TO EITHER A) CASTING SAND USED IN THE PRODUCTION OF THE MOTOR, OR B) CHEMICALS IN THE COOLANT DEVELOPING A SAND-LIKE SLUDGE. MY EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN TWO FAILED HEATER CORES WITHIN 9 MONTHS OF EACH OTHER. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED ON 25DEC2013 AND WAS REPAIRED 30DEC2013 AT 68,345 MILES. ON A TRIP AWAY FROM HOME IT FAILED AGAIN ON 11SEP2014 AT 85,157 MILES. ON THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE, WHEN THE HEATER CORE CLOGGED AND BLEW, THE SYSTEM BLEW HOT STEAM INTO THE CABIN AND COOLANT (AROUND A TEMPERATURE OF 200*F) POURED ONTO THE PASSENGERS SIDE FLOORBOARD. LUCKILY I DID NOT HAVE THE HEAT VENTS TURNED TO ME OR HAD A PASSENGER AT THE TIME BECAUSE I OR MY PASSENGER WOULD HAVE LIKELY BEEN INJURED. THE SAFETY ISSUED CALLED INTO QUESTION DUE TO THE ISSUE ARE A) BURNS RESULTING FROM FAILURE OF HEATER CORE, B) BECOMING STRANDED WITH NO HEAT DUE TO HEATER CORE OR RADIATOR FAILURE, C) BECOMING STRANDED BECAUSE OF ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO OVERHEATING CAUSED BY CLOGGED COOLING SYSTEM. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING SENSOR ACTIVATED AND THE TIRE WENT FLAT. THE STEM VALVE WAS COMPLETELY CORRODED AND FEEL INSIDE THE TIRE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY ARE NO LONGER USING THE SAME TYPE AND WE PAID FOR A UPDATED ONE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO SEE THE ROAD CLEARLY BUT CONTINUED TO DRIVE HOME USING THE FOG LIGHTS ONLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE COMBINATION HEADLIGHT SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000.

IGNITION SWITCH TURNED OFF FOLLOWING A RIGHT HAND TURN. KEY CHAIN HAS A NUMBER OF KEYS HANGING. *TR

BRAKES WERE MAKING A NOISE THAT SUBSIDED WHEN BRAKES APPLIED. MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT REAR PADS ARE WORN TO INDICATORS AND PADS ARE FROZEN IN SLIDES. ROTORS ARE AT MINIMUM SPEC. NOW MY FRONT BRAKES HAVE NEVER BEEN REPLACED, THEY ARE ORIGINAL FACTORY INSTALLED. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE REAR BRAKES WEARING OUT BEFORE THE FRONT BRAKES. THIS HAPPENED IN APRIL IT IS NOW THE END OF JULY AND I STILL HAVE NOT NEEDED TO REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKES. THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE REAR BRAKES TO WEAR OUT THAT FAST. *TR
