2004 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

MY JEEPS AIRBAG FAILED AFTER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A BUSH AND ROLLED 60-80 FEET DOWN AN EMBANKMENT AFTER HITTING AN ANIMAL ON AN ICY ROAD.. MY CONCERN IS THAT I WAS NOT NOTIFIED BY MY DEALER (TAYLOR & SONS, PONDERAY IDAHO) OR BY CHRYSLER REGARDING ANY SAFETY RECALLS UNTIL AFTER THE CRASH. I FOUND OUT ABOUT RECALLS AFTER MY INSURANCE AGENT GAVE ME A LIST OF RECALLS RECENTLY . *TR

CHRYSLER NOT FULFILLING NHTSA 13V-252 SAFETY RECALL TO PROTECT REAR FUEL TANK FROM EXPLOSION BY INSTALLING A TRAILER HITCH. SPITZER DODGE OF MANSFIELD, OHIO CONTINUES TO HAVE "NO PARTS" FOR THIS RECALL, BUT I COULD PAY TO HAVE THEM INSTALL ONE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR LOCKS FAILED TO LOCK PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE MOTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 04V111000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

2004 JEEP LIBERTY 4X2 HAS SPEED WOBBLE, THROWS THE JEEP SIDE TO SIDE AND IS INCREASING IN SWAY MONTHLY IF NOT DAILY. NOW WHEN YOU LIFT OFF THE ACCELERATOR TO SLOW DOWN THE JEEP THROWS ITSELF TO THE RIGHT. WHEN THE JEEP HAS FOUR PEOPLE IN IT AND SOME WEIGHT IN THE REAR TRUNK AREA IT IS NOT NOTICED BUT WHEN IT IS JUST THE DRIVER OR ONE OTHER PASSENGER THE SPEED WOBBLE IS NOTICEABLE. IT IS CAUSES THE STEERING TO BE EXTREMELY LOOSE AND SLOPPY SO MUCH TO THE POINT THAT AN ATTEMPT TO AVOID ROAD DEBRIS MAY THROW THE JEEP INTO A DEATH ROLL BECAUSE IT IS ALREADY CENTER OF GRAVITY CHALLENGED BEING A STOCK JEEP WITH NO MODIFICATIONS, JEEPS ARE MADE THIS WAY BUT THE STEERING IS EVEN MORE DANGEROUS NOW THEN EVER. OUR JEEP WAS PURCHASED IN FLORIDA AND NOW I AM RETIRED MILITARY LIVING IN VIRGINIA ALONG THE COAST LIKE IN FLORIDA I BELIEVE OUR JEEP LIBERTY NEEDS TO MEET THE RECALL STANDARDS AS THE ONES LISTED IN THE "SUSPENSION REAR LOWER CONTROL ARM" RECALL. THIS IS A BAD SITUATION. *TR

NEARLY A COMPLETE, SUDDEN LOSS OF BRAKING. BARELY ABLE TO STOP WHEN PROCEEDING THRU A DRIVE THRU LANE. IF THIS WAS ANY NORMAL DRIVING SPEED, SERIOUS INJURY WOULD HAVE RESULTED. COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKING FLUID IN RESERVOIR. NOT A SLOW LEAK!! PROBLEM WAS DETERMINED TO BE A RUSTED BRAKE LINE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. DRIVER SIDE WAS JUST AS RUSTED. THE RESULTING HOLE WAS SO LARGE THAT THE FLUID WOULD GUSH OUT IN A 1/8 INCH STREAM. IT APPEARS THE BRAKE LINE ATTACHED TO THE BRAKE CALIPER IS EXTREMELY PRONE TO RUST AT THE JOINT BETWEEN THE RUBBER AND METAL PORTION OF THE HOSE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ITEM, ESPECIALLY IN AREAS OF THE COUNTRY PRONE TO CORROSION ISSUES. *TR
