2012 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

2012 JEEP LIBERTY, 55,000 MILES. I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I HIT THE GAS TO MOVE FORWARD AND THE TRUCK WENT NOWHERE FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS, WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY ENGAGED. THE TRUCK JERKED AND I FINALLY WENT FORWARD. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN CHECKED WITH AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC THEN BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP AS IT IS STILL UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. VERY DISAPPOINTING, AS I LOVE THIS TRUCK. I GUESS I WILL BE HESITANT TO BUY ANOTHER JEEP.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN OCTOBER 2015, WITH ONLY 27,680 MILES ON IT AND I'M ALREADY EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH IT. LAST WEEK THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON OUT OF NO WHERE. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR YESTERDAY TO GET THE RECALL FIXED, THE TECH. TOLD ME THAT THE LIGHT STAYED ON AND THAT IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH A RECALL SO IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED. HE ALSO SAID THAT THIS WAS A MODULE (NOT SURE WHAT THAT IS) BUT IF I WANTED TO FIX IT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY A DEDUCTIBLE BECAUSE IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. MY SECOND ISSUE IS THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW CONTROL BUTTONS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY, I LITERALLY HAVE TO PULL REALLY HARD TO GET THE WINDOW UP. NOW I KNOW THAT FROM READING OTHER COMPLAINTS, THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE IN THIS CAR, I JUST DON'T WANT TO EXPERIENCE A FIRE IN THE PANEL OR ANY OTHER MALFUNCTION. IS THERE SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE, I FEEL THAT I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR MANUFACTURE ISSUE THAT ARE NOT WEAR AND TEAR.

36000 MILES THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON. THE SERVICE REP AT THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THE AIRBAG MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND IT'S NOT COVERED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE COST TO REPAIR IT IS $468. HOW CAN A CAR THIS NEW NEED A REPAIR LIKE THIS SO SOON?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS OPERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED DAILY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM WOULD ALARM INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM WAS DISABLED, BUT THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT DIAGNOSE WHAT WAS CAUSING THE ELECTRICAL FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

THE "GATE" LIGHT IN MY JEEP LIBERTY CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AND WOULD NOT GO OFF, EVEN THOUGH EVERYTHING WAS SECURELY SHUT. AS A RESULT, I WAS UNABLE TO LOCK MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THE ALARM WOULD SOUND. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ALSO STAYED ON DURING THIS TIME, WHICH WAS A HAZARD WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AS IT DIRECTLY AFFECTED MY ABILITY TO SEE OUTSIDE MY CAR. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND DO SEE THAT IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WHICH MAY BE CAUSED BY FAULTY RUBBER TRIM AROUND THE REAR HATCH WINDOW. THE RUBBER ALLOWS WATER TO GET IN TO THE LATCH AND EVENTUALLY RUINS IT. I RECENTLY HAD THE GATE LATCH ASSEMBLY REPLACED, WHICH DID RESOLVE THE ISSUE,.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,133.

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON DASH IS PERMANENTLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN AND TESTED AT MY LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY ADVISED THAT THE OCR MODULE WAS FAULTY AND WOULD NEED REPLACING AT A COST OF OVER $440. ALTHOUGH THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL ON SOME 2012 JEEP LIBERTY REGARDING ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINTS AND SOME MODELS REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF THE OCR MODULE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE LIST FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE MODULE.
