2012 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN AND LOST POWER. THE BRAKE, THE AIR BAG, SEAT BELTS, THE HEATER CORE AND SOME OTHER UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE RADIO DID NOT WORK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE FERRARIO AUTO TEAM OF SAYRE DEALER (570-888-2367, LOCATED AT 102 SPRING ST, SAYRE, PA 18840) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST SHOULD BE COVERED. HOWEVER, THE DEALER STATED NO. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 139,000.

I HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO GET LOOKED AT BY JEEP TWICE PRIOR DUE TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING AND WAS INFORMED ALL IT NEEDED WAS A SOFTWARE UPGRADE, WHICH WAS COMPLETED. AFTER THE FIRST TIME THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME AND STAYED ON SO I RETURNED TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT BY THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AGAIN. I WAS TOLD IT WAS SAFE AND DRIVABLE. THE NEXT DAY I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR WHEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN TO BLINK AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. I HAD TO CAR TOWED BACK AND WHEN IT WAS LOOKED AT AGAIN AND I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THE HEAD WAS WARPED DUE TO THE CAR OVERHEATING. I HAVE OWED THE VEHICLE FOR 60,000 MILES AND IT HAS NEVER ONCE OVERHEATED. I AM UNSURE IF THE ENGINE RAN HOT (THE NEEDLE USUALLY SAT HALF WAY BETWEEN THE "HOT" AND "COLD" ENDS. NOW THAT I HAVE HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE I AM NOTICING THIS VEHICLE RUNS COOLER THAN MY LAST AND I AM WONDERING THE ENGINE ON MY FORMER VEHICLE WAS IMPROPERLY ENGINEERED/MANUFACTURED AND I WAS SOLD A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. THEY EMPHASIZED THAT THE OVERHEATING HAD TO HAVE OCCURRED MORE THAN ONCE FOR THAT TYPE OF DAMAGE TO OCCUR. DEALERSHIP WANTED $8000 TO REPAIR/REPLACE.

I WAS DRIVING 35 MPH STRAIGHT ON A CITY ROAD WHEN THE ORANGE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WENT TO NEAREST AUTO STORE AND HAD IT SCANNED AND IT CAME OUT WITH CODE P0441. INCORRECT PURGE FLOW.

WINDOWS FELL INSIDE DOOR, SUSPECT WINDOW REGULATORS, CONTACTED FCA AND NOTIFIED 3 OF 4 WINDOW REGULATORS FAILED. REQUESTED ASSISTANCE SINCE 2007 MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND EVIDENTLY THERE IS STILL A PROBLEM. FCA SAID THEY ARE UNABLE TO HELP, WINDOWS ARE TAPED UP WITH DUCT TAPE.12/

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON 2 WEEKS AGO WHEN I STARTED IN UP IN THE MORNING AND WILL NOT TURN OFF. I'M WORRIED ABOUT MY FAMILY'S SAFETY.

VEHICLE IS ATTRACTIVE AND FUNCTIONAL. AIR BAGS PROBABLY SAVED THE WIFE'S LIFE IN A T BONE ACCIDENT. THE AIR CONDITIONER AND HEATER WORK GREAT. THERE IS TOO MUCH PLASTIC...EVERYWHERE! SEATS ARE UNCOMFORTABLE ON LONG TRIPS. WATER PUMP LOCKED UP WITH JUST OVER 50K MILES. TRANSMISSION IS SELF DESTRUCTING AT 62K MILES THIS MONTH. IT SEEMS THE TRANSMISSION HAS NO DIP STICK FOR THE OWNER TO CHECK THE FLUID. IF IT DID THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM COULD HAVE BEEN NOTICED SOONER. NOW WE MUST PAY FOR A TRANSMISSION AND LABOR BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY, $4K! THE VEHICLE GETS REGULAR USE IN COUNTY, CITY AND HIGHWAY TRIPS. ON NICE PAVED TEXAS ROADS. IT IS WELL MAINTAINED AND ONLY DRIVEN BY TWO ADULTS, AGE 72.I BELIEVE THERE IS A QUALITY ISSUE WITH THE DRIVETRAIN PARTS. WE HAVE OWNED OTHER JEEPS. THEY HAD THE OLD RELIABLE INLINE 6CYL ENGINE AND THREE SPEED TRANSMISSION. VERY RELIABLE.
