2002 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

HEADLIGHTS WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS WILL INTERMITTENTLY SHUT THEMSELVES OFF AND THEN TURN BACK ON APPROXIMATELY 10 TO 15 SECONDS LATER. I HAVE TRIED SWITCHING THE LIGHTS COMPLETELY OFF AND BACK ON TO SEE IF THE HEADLIGHTS BEGAN WORKING BUT THEY DID NOT. I HAVE SEARCHED THE WEB AND THIS SITE AND FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS WITH NO RESOLUTION OR RECALL. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS THERE IS NO WAY TO IMMEDIATELY CORRECT THE ISSUE WHILE DRIVING OR PREDICT WHEN IT WILL OCCUR. THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHEN THIS OCCURS. THE LIGHTS WILL COME BACK ON AND STAY ON FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND THEN SHUT BACK OFF AGAIN. SOMETIMES THEY WILL FLASH FROM LOW BEAMS TO HIGH BEAMS AND THEN SHUT OFF WHICH MAKES IT DANGEROUS FOR THE CARS THAT ARE DRIVING TOWARDS ME. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS SO FAR AND AT THIS POINT I AM SCARED TO DRIVE AT NIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELTS WOULD NOT LOCK INTO THE BUCKLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 223,000. *TT

I WENT TO THE STORE AND PICKED UP CHIPS AND DRINKS AND KEEP RUNNING FINE. GOT BACK IN IT AND TOOK ME SEVERAL TRIES TO CRANK. KEPT GOING DEAD ON THE MILE DRIVE HOME. HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO AFFORD TO GET IT FIXED BUT MECHANIC REPLACED COMPUTER SPARK PLUGS FUEL PUMP AND INJECTION SYSTEM. STILL WOULDN'T CRANK WELL. HAD NEW COMPUTER PROGRAMMED. NOTHING. TILL SAYS 3 CYLINDERS ARE NOT WORKING AND I NEED A NEW MOTOR.

ON JANUARY 2, 2018, I SUBMITTED A REPORT DETAILING THE DEFECTS FOR AN EMISSIONS CONTROL SYSTEM TO THE U.S. ATTORNEY'S OFFICE FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN. THAT REPORT ALSO DETAILED SAFETY DEFECTS. THAT WAS FOR VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BY WHAT IS NOW FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES. CIRCUMSTANCES RELATED TO THE SYSTEM ALLEGEDLY BEING PUT INTO PRODUCTION WERE ALSO EXPLAINED TO THE AFOREMENTIONED OFFICE. HAVE THEY CONTACTED YOUR OFFICE? PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM AND THUS DO NOT KNOW IF ANY ACTIONS HAVE BEEN TAKEN. I AM THE ENGINEER WHO DID THE ANALYSIS ON THE EMISSIONS CONTROL SYSTEM AND PREPARED THE REPORT.

I AM FILING THIS TO GET SOME SORT OF HELP AND DIRECTION TO TAKE CARE OF THESE RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE NHTSA NUMBER 13V-252.

NOTICED A SPLIT IN PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG AFTER I BOUGHT USED CAR AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON IN DASH .

HEAT IS NOT WORKING IT THROWS OUT COOL/COLD AIR. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY LIBERTY OWNERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. IT IS A PAIN SINCE I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN AND THE CAR IS SO COLD YOU CAN SEE EVERYONE'S BREATH. I'VE HAD THE RADIATOR FLUSHED AND HAD A FEW THINGS CHECKED AND STILL NO HEAT. OVER THE SUMMER I HAD THE A/C FIXED BECAUSE IT STARTED THROWING OUT HOT AIR. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR AND I'M SURPRISED IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. THE CAR IS DRIVEN ON A DAILY BASIS IN NEW JERSEY. CAR IS MOSTLY DRIVEN ON CITY STREETS AND OCASIONAL HIGHWAY. MY JEEP WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR RECALLS, BUT LOOKING FOR RECALLS TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANYTHING FOR THE HEAT I NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE CONTROL ATMS/BUSHINGS. I WAS NEVER TOLD ABOUT THIS RECALL AND NOTHING WAS DONE AT THE DEALER. LAST MONTH DRIVING ONE OF MY BUSHINGS BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND I LOST A WHEEL.
