2002 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

ALTERNATOR FAILED WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL AT AN INTERSECTION WHILE DRIVING IN HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND ALTERNATOR REPLACED.

THIS PAST MAY, MY AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AND STAYING ON. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER. THEY DIAGNOSED A FAULTY IMPACT SENSOR, LEFT SIDE AND REPLACED IT AT A COST TO ME OF $297.10. TODAY, SIX MONTHS EXACTLY AFTER THAT VISIT, THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. I AM BRINGING IT IN TO BE LOOKED AT TOMORROW.

MY HUSBAND AND I DROVE MY 2002 JEEP LIBERTY TO DINNER AND WHILE DRIVING BACK HOME, WITHOUT ANY NOTICE, THE CAR STARTED BLOWING HEAVY SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST PIPES. THEN IT COMPLETELY DIED, STOPPED! NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, NO CHECK OIL LIGHT AND NO WARNING WHATSOEVER! I NOW HAVE THIS VEHICLE SITTING IN MY GARAGE BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO COST US APPROXIMATELY $5000.00 TO FIX. WHILE RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET, THIS ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE JUST STOPPING, HAS HAPPENED TO HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE THAT OWN THIS SAME VEHICLE. I HAVE NOT FOUND ANYONE THAT FEELS IT'S WORTH FIXING. ALL INTERNET REVIEWS LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THAT IF REPLACED, IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. WHY ISN'T CHRYSLER MADE ACCOUNTABLE?? THEY KNOW THEY GOT AWAY WITH SELLING A LEMON! THIS COULD POTENTIALLY BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE, IF SOMEONE IS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND THE ENGINE JUST STOPS AS MINE DID! CHRYSLER SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THE ENGINE OR GIVE BACK SOME SORT OF COMPENSATION TO EVERYONE THAT HAS HAD THIS ISSUE. CAN'T BELIEVE, THAT AFTER SO MANY COMPLAINTS, THE GOVERNMENT OR BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU, HAVE NOT GOTTEN INVOLVED IN FORCING A RECALL FOR THIS 3.7 ENGINE.

MOTOR WENT OUT WITH NO WARNING......REPLACED. AFTER 7K MILES.....MOTOR WENT OUT AGAIN. THE WARRANTY COMPANY FOR THE MOTOR ACTS AS IF THEY DID NOT KNOW THE MOTORS CONSTANTLY GO OUT.

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. I HAD THE R06/NHTSA 15V-046 RECALL FOR THE ORC COMPLETED ON 9/14/17 AND THE LIGHT STILL COMES ON.

THE LOWER BALL JOINT SHEARED OFF CAUSING THE WHEEL TO FALL CAUSING THE BOTTOM OF THE BALL JOINT TO LAND ON THE RIM. THUS CUTTING THE RIM ALL THE WAY AROUND IT OFF AND PUNCTURING THE TIRE. THUS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SLIDE TO A STOP AT 50 MILES AN HOUR WITH A SKID MARK. THUS HAVING TO CALL FOR A TOW TRUCK TO PICK IT UP. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT. THE VEHICLE WAS ON A OFF RAMP OF A FREEWAY TO A ON RAMP OVER PASS OF ANOTHER FREEWAY.

MY 2002 JEEP LIBERTY, RARELY DRIVEN PAST 3 YEARS, HAS HAD TO HAVE THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED 3 TIMES AS OF THIS WEEK. I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WHY YOUR DEPARTMENT ENFORCED TO REPLACE SO MANY JEEP IGNITION SWITCH'S TO NOT THINK THEY DID NOT HAVE INFERIOR PRODUCTS ON THE LIBERTY'S AS WELL. THE KEYS SLIDE RIGHT OUT OF THE IGNITION RATHER THE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE MOTION OR PARKED, ON OR OFF, DOESN'T MATTER AND THERE ARE COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE WEB AS TO SAME ISSUE. I UNDERSTAND THE ISSUE NEEDS TO BE REPORTED TO YOU TO MAKE OFFICIAL, HOWEVER, CHRYSLER'S LACK OF COOPERATIVENESS ALONE, I WOULD THINK ENOUGH TO BE DUE CAUSE TO UMBRELLA JEEPS OF ALL MODELS AND GET THEM ALL ENFORCED AROUND THE SAME TIME FRAME.
