2003 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROL (ORC) MODULE HAS A CHANCE OF EXPERIENCING AN ELECTRICAL OVERSTRESS CONDITION. PART HAS NOT BEEN SHIPPED TO MY DEALER AS OF 7/29/2013. M35/NHTSA 12V-527 NOTIFIED CLOSE TO 6 MONTHS AGO. *TR

THE AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE RECALL WAS PUBLICIZED IN NOVEMBER OF 2012 (SAFETY RECALL M35/NHTSA 12V-527). AS OF TODAY, 7/23/2013, THE DEALER STILL HAS NOT RECEIVED THE CORRECTIVE PARTS. AN 8 MONTH DELAY IN CORRECTING A DEFECT THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH GOES BEYOND NEGLIGENCE. *TR

THE AIR BAG SENSOR WENT OFF AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. THE LIGHT STAYS ON UNTIL I TURN THE CAR OFF. WHEN I START THE CAR AGAIN, WITHIN 5 MINUTES OR LESS THE ALARM GOES OFF AND THE LIGHT COMES ON. I AM AFRAID IT WILL DEPLOY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 12V527000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE REMEDY PART WAS NO LONGER BEING MANUFACTURED. THE CONTACT LEFT SEVERAL MESSAGES WITH THE MANUFACTURER IN REGARD TO THE RECALL BUT THEY FAILED TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. UPDATED 08/27/13*LJ

2003 JEEP LIBERTY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO AIR BAG SYSTEM OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE RECALL NOTICE. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE, LAST SEPTEMBER. HOWEVER, AS OF JUNE 25, 2013. THE RECALL HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED.

A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS THAT COULD CAUSE THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY WITHOUT WARNING. THE CASE NUMBER IS 12V527000 THIS WAS ISSUED ALMOST 8 MONTHS AGO AND STILL THE PART TO FIX THE PROBLEM IS NOT AVAILABLE. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. IT SHOULD NOT TAKE THIS LONG FOR AN AUTOMOBILE COMPANY THAT MANUFACTURES PARTS TO PRODUCE THESE PARTS. *TR

JUNE 26,2013 I HEARD A BEEP FROM DASH THINKING IT WAS LETTING ME KNOW I AM LOW ON WASH FLUID THOUGH I NOTICED MY AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON .A MINUTE LATER WHILE DRIVING IT WENT OFF, AS OF TODAY IT TURNS ON FOR A MIN THAN BACK OFF. I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER ABOUT THE AIRBAG ISSUES. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND ASKED ABOUT IT AGAIN, I GOT A RESPONSE THAT THEY ARE WAITING FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS TO COME IN ,THIS BEEN MONTHS AGO. *TR

I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE PASSENGER SIDE UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2006 AS A SECOND OWNER AND IN THE 7 YEARS I HAVE OWNED MY JEEP I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY BALL JOINTS NOW 3 TIMES. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND SERIOUSLY SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE MAKERS AS TO WHY EVEN AFTER BEING RECALLED THEY HAVE GONE OUT TWICE. LUCKILY I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH (OR I SHOULD SAY CHRYSLER HAS BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH) TO NOT HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT OR ANYTHING SERIOUS HAPPEN TO ME OR MY FAMILY DUE TO THIS. THANKS. *TR

ON JUNE 27 2013, MY FAMILY AND I WERE GOING TO DINNER APPROXIMATELY 6PM. WE WERE ABOUT 1.5 MILES FROM HOME HEADING WEST ON OK STATE HWY 51 (APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES EAST OF WAGONER, OK) AS I GOT TO APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH THE DASHBOARD AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHED AND DINGED TWICE THEN THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. I MAINTAINED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND ONLY SUFFERED AN ABRASION AND BRUISE ON THE UNDERSIDE OF MY RIGHT FOREARM FROM THE BAG DEPLOYMENT. I IMMEDIATELY CAME HOME AND CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER RECALL HOTLINE NUMBER AND HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER AND I WAS NOTIFIED TODAY (7/1/2013) THAT AN INVESTIGATOR WILL BE IN CONTACT WITH ME WITHIN 24 HRS. *TR

3 OF THE 4 DRIVER SIDE SEAT MOUNTING BRACKETS BROKE WHERE THE SEAT MOUNTS TO THE FLOOR. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND I FEAR THAT DRIVER'S SEAT WILL COME COMPLETELY UNATTACHED FROM FLOOR OF VEHICLE IN AN ACCIDENT, SUDDEN STOP OR VERY SOON! MANY OTHERS SEEM TO HAVE THESE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS WITH SEAT MOUNTING BRACKETS. JEEP, CHRYSLER NOR DEALERS WILL HELP WITH THESE PROBLEMS! INTERIOR LIGHTS COME ON BY THEMSELVES UNEXPECTEDLY AND SOMETIMES WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHEN ATTEMPTS ARE MADE TO SWITCH THEM OFF. LIGHT SWITCH CONTROL SEEMS SPORADIC AND DEFECTIVE. I FEAR A SHORT CIRCUIT RESULTING IN ELECTRICAL FIRE FROM DEFECTIVE LIGHT SWITCH CONTROL. *TR
