2002 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

WE HAVE BEEN WAITING MONTHS NOW TO REMEDY THIS RECALL FOR A FUEL TANK ISSUE WHERE IT CAN EXPLODE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. EVERY TIME WE GO THEY ALWAYS SAY THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART. EXPRESSWAY JEEP IN MT VERNON, IN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FOR RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V527000 (AIR BAGS). HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED WAS UNAVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

THIS WAS MY PRIMARY (AND ONLY) TRANSPORTATION AND THE JEEP RAN AS NORMAL ON 06/19/2014, NO PROBLEMS OR NOISES. I CRANKED IT UP ON THE MORNING OF 06/20/2013 AND THE MOTOR WAS KNOCKING LIKE CRAZY. I TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP AND LET THEM LISTEN TO THE NOISE. I WAS ADVISED THAT 1ST, THE NOISE SOUNDED LIKE THE ROCKER ARM OR BEADS AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST JEEP LIBERTY THEY HAVE SEEN WITH THIS PROBLEM AND 2ND IT WAS NOT SAFE FOR ME TO BE DRIVING THE JEEP WITH THIS PROBLEM AS THE ENGINE COULD POSSIBLY FAIL CAUSING A CRASH AND 3RD I WILL HAVE TO BUY A NEW MOTOR FOR THIS VEHICLE WHICH IS AROUND $2,000.00 AND UP FOR A REBUILT ENGINE OR $6,000.00 AND UP FOR A NEW ONE. I WAS STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS VEHICLE AND DIDN'T HAVE THIS TYPE OF $$ JUST LYING AROUND SO IT HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR OVER A YEAR. FROM MY RESEARCH ONLINE, THERE ARE NUMEROUS CONSUMERS WHO HAVE HAD THIS SAME ENGINE PROBLEM YET CHRYSLER HAS NOT BEEN MADE TO RECALL THERE ENGINE FOR DEFECTIVE PARTS. ON BEHALF OF JEEP LIBERTY OWNERS THAT HAVE HAD TO FACE THIS HUGE PROBLEM, I AM REQUESTING THAT THIS ISSUE BE RESEARCHED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!! JEEPS ARE NOT BOTTOM LINE VEHICLES AS MOST PEOPLE KNOW. I PERSONALLY PAID $30,000.00 FOR THIS VEHICLE AND AM FURIOUS AT THE LACK OF RESPONSE OR SENSE OF URGENCY BY CHRYSLER TO RESOLVE THIS AND ALL THE OTHER ISSUES WITH THEIR VEHICLES. IF YOU ARE GOING TO CHARGE FOR VEHICLES LIKE THEY ARE 5 STAR VEHICLES, THEN YOU NEED TO SELL A 5 STAR PRODUCT OR GIVE 5 STAR RESPECTABLE SERVICE AND CORRECT YOUR DEFECTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FOR RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V252000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, STRUCTURE, AIR BAGS).

THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

DRIVING ALONG BEHIND SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES, THE WEATHER WAS WARM AND THE ROADWAY WAS DRY. DUE TO A RED LIGHT, VEHICLES AHEAD RAPIDLY SLOWED TO A STOP. I WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 30MPH AND APPLIED MY BRAKE PEDAL TO AVOID HITTING THE SLOWLY MOVING VEHICLE AHEAD. MY VEHICLE FAILED TO SLOW DOWN AND I PUMPED THE BRAKES TO NO AVAIL. I TURNED TO THE RIGHT AND CONTINUED TO PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE BRAKE FINALLY CAUGHT AND THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP WITHIN TWO FEET TO THE RIGHT OF THE STOPPED VEHICLE AHEAD. IT RESEMBLED THE FEELING OF ABS ON AN ICY ROAD, BUT ROAD CONDITIONS WERE EXCELLENT AT THE TIME. I HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS DRIVING THIS VEHICLE SINCE THE BRAKE FAILURE. THERE IS GOOD BRAKE PEDAL AND THE MASTER CYLINDER IS FILLED WITH BRAKE FLUID. I AM UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND AFTER READING A MULTITUDE OF OTHER MISHAPS BY OTHER 2002 LIBERTY OWNERS, THIS IS A DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION. *TR

THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE FRONT AIR BAGS WHERE THEY WOULD DEPLOY AT ANY TIME. I TOOK MY JEEP IN AROUND 6-12 MONTHS BEFORE THE INCIDENT HAPPENED AND GOT THE RECALL FIXED BUT IT STILL WENT OFF. I HAVE A REMOTE STARTER ON IT AND HAD IT RUNNING TO COOL IT OFF BEFORE I GOT IN TO LEAVE. I WAS STANDING NOT EVEN 10 FEET FROM IT AND IT JUST WENT OFF. I JUST WANTED YOU TO BE AWARE OF THE FACT THAT I HAD THE RECALL FIXED AND IT STILL DIDN'T WORK. *TR
