SINCE I BROUGHT THE CAR IN 2008 AT TIMES THE INTERIOR DASH LIGHT AND HEAD LIGHTS FLICKER ALSO THE AIR BAG LIGHT ALL THE SUDDEN STAYS ON. I HAVE INTERMEDIATE NO START AT THIS TIME SO I CAN'T REALLY USE THE CAR. I BELIEVE THIS MIGHT BE AN ELECTRONIC ISSUE.

I OWN A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY MADE FOR EXPORT. I LIVE IN MEXICO. I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN MEXICO. I HAVE READ ABOUT THE RECALL FOR THIS MODEL YEAR BECAUSE OF THE FUEL TANK PROBLEMS. I NEED THE NAME AND ADDRESS OF A JEEP DEALER IN GUADALAJARA, MEXICO WHERE THEY CAN PUT THE TRAILER HITCH ON AT NO COST FOR PARTS AND LABOR. MY E-MAIL IS: [XXX] I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH TO 70 MPH, THE ENGINE OF THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY, WITHOUT WARNING, WITH THE LOSS OF ALL STEERING OR CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. ON TWO OTHER OCCASIONS, THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY, WITHOUT WARNING, WITH THE LOSS OF ANY STEERING OR CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE, AFTER EXITING THE HIGHWAY AND ENTERING CITY TRAFFIC. THAT IS A TOTAL OF FOUR ENGINE SHUT DOWNS OR STALLS WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. WE JUST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, AND THIS IS NERVE-WRECKING AND DANGEROUS TO SAY THE LEAST. THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN AFTER DRIVING LONG DISTANCES, AND HAS HAPPENED FROM DRIVING DISTANCES OF APPROXIMATELY 90 MILES TO 160 MILES. IF YOU WAIT APPROXIMATELY ONE HOUR, THE VEHICLE WILL THEN START UP AGAIN AND RUN. BUT IT WILL STALL AGAIN WITH COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. OTHERS ON THE INTERNET HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM WITH JEEP 3.7 AND 4.7 POWERTECH JEEP MOTORS. OUR JEEP IS A 3.7 MOTOR. THIS APPEARS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM AS JEEP EXPERIENCED WITH JEEP COMMANDER AND JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE MODELS, WHICH WERE RECALLED. THIS SITUATION CAN OBVIOUSLY BE LIFE THREATENING. CHRYSLER JEEP SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO PUT LIFE TREATING VEHICLES ON THE MARKET AND THESE JEEPS MUST BE RECALLED. WE ASK FOR YOUR HELP IN THIS MATTER BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED.

I HAVE HAD A COUPLE OF PRETTY BAD ACCIDENTS TO FRONT END OF MY JEEP LIBERTY AND THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. LAST ACCIDENT WAS PRETTY BAD. VEHICLE PULLED OUT IN FROM OF ME AND I T-BONED THEM, I TRIED TO STOP BUT DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME. EVERY AIRBAG IN THEIR VEHICLE DEPLOYED. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A STATE HIGHWAY WHEN VEHICLE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000. UPDATED 10/26/16*LJ *CN

RECALL REGARDING FRONT LOWER BALL JOINT; 06V288000. WHILE AT FIRESTONE DURING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND CHECK UP, I RECEIVED NOTICE OF A RECALL ON MY CAR - I WAS I WENT TO THE NEARBY JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NOT APPLICABLE FOR MY CAR EVEN THOUGH I SHOWED THEM THE PAPERWORK FROM FIRESTONE DIRECTLY. JEEP DID NOT FIX MY LOWER BALL JOINT AND THEN APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS LATER, I WAS DRIVING TO SCHOOL AND MY CAR JOLTED AS IF I HIT A POT-HOLE BUT THE ROAD WAS CLEAR. I TURNED ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND PULLED OVER TO INSPECT. MY TIRES WERE NOT LOW ON AIR THERE WAS NOTHING ABNORMAL UNDER THE HOOD. I PARKED MY CAR AND LOOKED UNDERNEATH TO FIND A VERY OBVIOUS DISLOCATION. I CALLED A FRIEND WHO COULD IDENTIFY WHAT PART IT WAS EXACTLY AND HE SAID IT WAS MY LOWER BALL JOINT. MY CAR WAS A SAFETY HAZARD AND HAS BECOME A HUGE HASSLE TO DEAL WITH AND JEEP IS REFUSING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. IT IS BEING REPAIRED IN A SHOP NOW AND I AM SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FROM JEEP.

YESTERDAY, THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW SLID INTO DOOR, WILL NOT COME UP. CAN HEAR REGULATOR BUT WINDOW IS STUCK IN DOOR. VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET, ALL WINDOWS WERE UP, AND ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER THE WINDOW HAD DISAPPEARED INTO THE DOOR. I CALLED CHRYSLER BUT THE VIN IS NOT PART OF CHRYSLER'S NOTICE TO OWNER'S IN 2010 REGARDING FAULTY WINDOW REGULATORS.
