2002 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

VEHICLE ONLY HAS 19,900 MILES ON IT AND HAD 3 ALIGNMENTS DUE TO THE VEHICLE CONTINUALLY PULLING TO THE RIGHT. HAVE BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP EACH TIME TO FIX BUT IT CONTINUES TO PULL TO RIGHT. NOT ONLY DOES THIS PROBLEM CONTINUE TO EXIST BUT IT IS RUINING MY TIRES!!!! *JB

VEHICLE HAS ABS FAILURE WHEN DRIVING ON WET ROADS. THIS RESULTS IN LOST OF BRAKE AND POWER STEERING.

I HAVE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE LOWER BALL JOINTS ON THE JEEP LIBERTY. I AM VERY WORRIED THEY ARE GOING TO DROP OUT. I TOOK MY JEEP TO THE DEALER TODAY AND THEY SAID I HAVE WORN LBJ(LOWER BALL JOINTS) SO THIS IS A VERY SCARY THING TO ME. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE FIXED UNDER WARRIENTY.

NAR 04/28/2003 MR VIBRATION OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES OVER 50 MPH. *CB

LAST WEEK I HAD 5 ROCK CHIPS REPAIRED IN MY WINDSHIELD. YESTERDAY I HEARD A LOUD PING AND SAW ANOTHER CHIP (FROM NO OBVIOUS SOURCE). THIS MORNING, I FOUND A LARGE CRACK ABOUT 16 INCHES LONG FROM YET ANOTHER CHIP I HADN'T EVEN NOTICED. I BELIEVE THE WINDSHIELD GLASS IS EXTREMELY BRITTLE AND/OR ANGLED IN SUCH A WAY AS TO CATCH ANY ROCKS THAT MAY HIT IT AND BREAK AND/OR CHIP WITH MINIMUM FORCE. *NLM

WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING WHICH RESULTED IN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKING UP. THE DEALER REPAIR AND REPLACED HEAD GASKET SPRING. *NLM

WHILE DRIVING 65-70 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED WHICH RESULTED IN LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. THE DEALER NOTICED THAT THE CAM SHAFT AND HEAD GASKET NEED TO BE REPLACED. *NLM

WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED WHICH CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK UP. THE DEALER REPLACED THE HEAD GASKET. *NLM

THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN MY 2002 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED WENT HAYWIRE. THE HORN STUCK ON, THE BACK GLASS WINDOW POPPED OPEN, THE SIGNAL RELAY WAS BUZZING, THE DOOR OPEN BELL WAS RINGING, AND THE SPEEDOMETER WAS DEAD, ALL WHILE I WAS DOING 60 MPH ON A HIGHWAY. *JB

THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE TO TOW A SMALL BOAT. FORTUNATELY, WE WERE NOT TOWING THE BOAT AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, OTHERWISE WE WOULD CERTAINLY HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. MY 2002 JEEP LIBERTY IS WELL WITHIN ITS ORIGINAL BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY PERIOD. SUDDENLY IT SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR, LOST POWER, AND THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON. IT STILL RUNS IN 1ST, 2ND, AND REVERSE GEARS, BUT SLIPS OUT AT EVERY STOP LIGHT AND HAS TO RE-ENGAGE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WON'T HONOR THE WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY CLAIM THE TRANSMISSION WAS DRAINED BEFORE I DROVE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP - BUT THAT'S EXACTLY THE SYMPTOM THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED!! THEY ADMIT THE VEHICLE COULDN'T GO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF MILES WITH FLUID THAT LOW, BUT THE PROBLEM OCCURRED DURING A HIGHWAY TRIP AND NO ONE COULD HAVE DRAINED THE FLUID WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THERE ARE NO LEAKS OR DRIPS UNDER THE VEHICLE AND THERE WAS NO WARNING OF ANY KIND. WHERE DID THE FLUID GO? OUR LIBERTY WAS ONE OF THE FIRST OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE. OTHER LIBERTY OWNERS WILL PROBABLY EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM AROUND 32000 MILES. PLEASE WARN THEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.*JB
