2002 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

2 JEEP LIBERTY'S- BOTH ENGINE MAKING LOUD KNOCKING NOISE, WITHIN A MONTH OF EACH OTHER. TOOK THEM IN FOR REPAIR. TOLD BOTH NEED NEW ENGINES. THIS WILL BE THE 3RD TIME THE ENGINE HAS BEEN REPLACED IN ONE JEEP; 2 2 TIMES UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY AND NOW 1 ENGINE REPLACED AT $3,500.00. THE OTHER JEEP FIRST ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. BOTH JEEPS AROUND 130,000 MILES. BASED ON INTERNET TRAFFIC COMPLAINTS, DISCUSSIONS WITH REPAIR MECHANICS, AND THE PRICING ON REPLACEMENT ENGINES, THERE IS A EVIDENT PROBLEM AND A RECALL IS IN ORDER FROM JEEP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 2 MPH OVER A SPEED BUMP, THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DECIDED TO SEND AN ENGINEER TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE ENGINEER CONCLUDED THAT THE FAILURE WAS NOT A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,698.

BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT. THE AIR BAG CAUTION LIGHT HAD BEEN ON FOR SEVERAL WEEKS, BUT THE DEALER SAID IT WAS ONLY A FAULT OF THE MONITOR AND WAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. ONCE THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, JEEP REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OR REIMBURSE FOR REPAIRS, SAYING THAT THIS HAD NOT EVER HAPPENED BEFORE, THEREFORE, THE DRIVER MUST HAVE HIT SOMETHING. *KB

ENGINE FAILED BLOWING A CYLINDER AND A HALF DURING NORMAL USE OF THE VEHICLE AND I WAS TOLD BY MY MECHANIC IT WOULD COST $5,000.00 FOR A NEW ONE. BOUGHT THE CAR USED AND HAVE 84,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 40 MPH WHEN HE CRASHED INTO A LIGHT POLE AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT WAS INJURED AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS BENT FROM THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

AFTER LOTS OF TRIES AND NO HELP FROM JEEP, I AM TRYING TO FIND HELP WITH A PROBLEM WITH AN SPEED SENSOR THAT IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. APPARENTLY THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ROUTING OF THESE WIRES CAUSING THEM TO RUB, SHORT OUT AND IT CAUSES THE SENSOR TO QUIT, AND ANYTHING OPTIONS RUNNING OFF THIS SENSOR (EXAMPLE TRANNY SHIFT POINTS CAUSING THE TORQUE CONVERTER TO NOT UNLOCK AND CAUSING STALLING OF VEHICLE). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH AND A CHIME SOUNDED INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. SUDDENLY THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. THE UNINTENDED MALFUNCTION OCCURRED WITHOUT ANY IMPACT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT WAS WAITING FOR A RESPONSE FROM THE MANUFACTURER PERTAINING TO THE REPAIRS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000. VEH IS CURRENTLY AT NORTH POINT JEEP IN WINSTON SALEM, NC FOR REPAIR. RAINING ON EVENT DATE, BUT NO PRIOR WATER/LEAKAGE ISSUE. NO PRIOR ABL ISSUE. NO OFF-ROAD/OFF HIGHWAY USAGE. PCO

PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED, CAUSING WINDOW TO SLIDE DOWN INTO DOOR. *KB

LEFT FRONT TIRE FELL TO THE SIDE. BALL JOINT WAS BROKEN. STEERING WAS IMPOSSIBLE. VEHICLE CONTAINED MALE AND FEMALE PARENTS AND TWO YOUNG CHILDREN. THEY WERE ON A BUSY FREEWAY IN NORTHERN CA. WHEN AUTO REPAIR PEOPLE LOOKED AT IT THEY FOUND NO GREASE IN THE JOINT AND THE BALL HAD RUST ALL OVER THE TOP. THIS IS A SEALED JOINT THAT COULD NOT BE GREASED. IT LOOKED AS THOUGH IS WAS NOT PROPERLY GREASED DURING ORIGINAL INSTALLATION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY FAILED AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO LOCK THE BUCKLE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 105,000.
