2002 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH CONSUMER WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONTAL COLLISION. UPON IMPACT, NEITHER OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED. *AK

VEHICLE ROLLED OVER WHEN BLACK ICE WAS HIT, DESIGN OF VEHICLE BEING REASON FOR ROLLOVER. *MR THE VEHICLE WAS ON CRUISE CONTROL, WHEN THE VEHICLE A PATCH OF BLACK ICE AND CAUSED THE CONSUMER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE THEN WENT INTO A DITCH (SIDEWAYS & BACKWARDS), THEN HAD COME TO REST ON IT'S WHEELS. THE CONSUMER FELT THIS OCCURRED DUE TO THE VEHICLE BEING BUILT TOO HIGH AND WAS HARD TO CONTROL IN EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS. REFER TO 10884096. *SCC *JB

MY WIFE WAS TURNING AROUND IN THE DRIVEWAY AND THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE LOWER BALL JOINT FELL OUT TO THE GROUND AND THE WHEEL WELL WAS RESTING ON TOP OF THE TIRE. *JB

THIS VEHICLE HAS A RECURRING BRAKING CONDITION. THE FRONT BRAKES LOCK-UP WHEN NORMAL TO MODERATE BRAKE PRESSURE IS APPLIED WHILE DRIVING ON WET PAVEMENT. THE RESULT IS THAT IT SENDS THE VEHICLE INTO A SLIDE. THE LOCK-UP IS MORE LIKELY TO HAPPEN ON ASPHALT THAN CONCRETE, AND HAS NOT BEEN NOTED, YET, ON DRY SURFACES. THE VEHICLE'S BRAKE SYSTEM HAS BEEN TESTED BY THE SELLING DEALERSHIP AND REPORTED TO BE WORKING CORRECTLY AND SAFE. AFTER THIS LATEST INCIDENT, I TOOK THE JEEP TO AN EMPTY PARKING LOT WHERE I WOULD NOT HIT ANYTHING. I CHECKED IT AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT SPEEDS, AND AT JUST 15 MPH AND WITH NORMAL TO MODERATE BRAKE PRESSURES, THE BRAKES WOULD LOCKUP; RENDERING NO CONTROL UNTIL THE BRAKE WAS RELEASED. WHEN I RELEASED THE BRAKE, THE JEEP WOULD IMMEDIATELY CONTINUE IN THE DIRECTION THE WHEELS WERE POINTED. I AM 60, DRIVEN ALL TYPES OF VEHICLES AND IN MANY DIFFERENT LOCATION OVER THE WORLD, AND TO DATE, HAVE NEVER SEEN A VEHICLE RESPOND THIS WAY. THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG AND I FEEL THAT AN EXAMINATION, MORE IN DEPTH THAN THE DEALERSHIP CAN PERFORM, IS NEEDED TO ISOLATE THE CAUSE. I AM FEARFUL FOR MY WIFE AND GRANDCHILDREN SAFETY, AND BESIDES REPORTING THE CONDITION, WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF NHTSA HAS A FACILITY IN THIS AREA THAT COULD CONDUCT ADDITIONAL TESTING OF THIS NATURE. AND IF SO, WHAT WOULD BE THE COST? *PH

CONSUMER NOTICED WHILE TRAVELING ON WET PAVEMENT AND DEPRESSING BRAKES THERE WAS EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE.*AK

2002 JEEP LIBERTY DEFECTIVE FRONT BRAKES, HEAVY PULSATION COMING FROM BRAKE PEDAL LOSS OF CONTROL OF THER CAR. DEALER REPAIRS WITH KNOWN DEFECTIVE FACTORY PARTS.*AK

WHILE TRAVELING AT 30 MPH VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONTAL COLLISION AND AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.*MR *TS

I HAVE HAD MY JEEP AT THE DEALERS 3 TIMES REGARDING AN INSANELY LOUD "FEEDBACK" THAT COMES FROM MY STEREO AND SPEAKERS WITH NO WARNING. THE RADIO HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE AND IT STILL HAPPENS. THE DEALERSHIP SEEMS DUMBFOUNDED. IT WILL HAPPEN WITH NO WARNING AND IS INCREDIBLY STARTLING. IT ABOUT CAUSED ME TO WRECK THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. IT IS SPARATIC BUT ONCE IT HAPPENS IT WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN FFOR AN UNDETERMINED AMOUNT OF TIME AFTER THAT. ONCE THE RADIO IS TURNED OFF, YOU MAY THEN COME BACK AN HOUR LATER AN IT MAY BE FINE FOR A FEW DAYS, BUT THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. MAY BE A GROUND ELECTRICAL PROBLEM BUT DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIND IT! STILL HAPPENING...SOMEONE HELP!!!!! ALSO CORROSION ON MY WHEELS. ONLY HAS 20K MILES. NOT GOOD...OTHER THAN THESE PROBLEMS...I TRULY ENJOY THE VEHICLE.*AK

WE WERE TRAVELING AT 30 MPH AND VEHICLE THAT HIT US WAS GOING 35-40. IT RAN A RED LIGHT AND WE T-BONED THE OTHE RVEHICLE, SMASHING THE FRONT OF MY 2002 JEEP LIBERTY. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. WE WERE BOTH TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL ,AND SUFFERED SUBSTANTIAL INJURIES, INCLUDING HAIRLINE FRACTURES TO THE COLLARBONE AND RIB/BONE CHIP AND HEMATOMA TO THE SHIN/ NECK AND BACK PAIN/BUMPS AND BRUISES. I JUST SENT CHRYSLER A LETTER WITH PICTURES OF THE CAR AND POLICE REPORT, ASKING THEM TO COMPENSATE US FOR THEIR FAULTY EQUIPMENT. *AK

WHEN THE CONSUMER PLACED THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO TURN OVER, IT WAS DISCOVERED THE STARTED HAD FAILED. *AK THE BRAKES MADE A NOISE WHEN THEY WERE APPLIED. THE DASH MADE A RATTLE NOISE WHEN THE WEATHER WAS COLD. *JB
