2012 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON THE STREET WHEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR STARTED TO RUN ROUGH AND THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. I PARKED IT ON A SIDE STREET AND HAD IT TOWED TO MECHANIC. I WAS TOLD THAT THE 3 & 5 CYLINDER WAS MISFIRING. CODE P0303 & P0305 HAD TO HAVE SPARK PLUGS REPLACED ALONG WITH BOOTS & WIRES. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS A LITTLE OVER 46,000 MILES.

JEEP LIBERTY FRONT LEFT DRIVERS POWER SEAT ADJUSTER SHIELD HAS BROKEN FOR THE SECOND TIME. HAD IT REPLACED ONCE WHEN CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY, NOW BROKEN SECOND TIME. THIS SEEMS TO BE A FAULTY DESIGN FLAW, ITS AGGRAVATING, UNCOMFORTABLE, AND IS A PAIN TO REPLACE. SUPPOSEDLY IT COSTS $75 UP, NOT TO MENTION THE LABOR CHARGES. CHRYSLER SHOULD REPLACE THIS FOR FREE WHEN IT BREAKS.

CAR WOULDNT START; WHEN FINALLY DID, PULLED OUT TO ROAD, COULDNT GET IT TO GO PAST 35 MPH, PRESSED GAS PEDAL, EVEN TACHOMETER WOULDNT GO FASTER; COULDNT GET ANY GETUP AND GO; PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD, PUT IN PARK, TAPPED ACCELERATOR FEW TIMES, WOULDNT ACCELERATE; AFRAID TO SHUTDOWN, SO STARTED OUT ON ROAD (45 MPH SPEED), CAR WOULDNT ACCELERATE PAST 35, FINALLY GOT HOME; SHUT OFF, WOULDNT START AGAIN. CALLING DEALER. LOOKS LIKE OTHERS HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEM. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, RED LIGHT UNDER IT FLASHED THEN STAYED ON.

AT 50 THOUSAND MILES ON MY VEHICLE A MAINTAINANCE TECHNICIAN NOTICED TWO MISSING BOLTS IN THE FRONT COUPLING OF THE REAR DRIVE SHAFT. THERE WERE ALSO LOOSE BOLTS IN THE REAL COUPE LONG. A CALL TO CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE REVEALS THAT THE COMPANY WILL NOT PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. HAD THE DRIVE SHAFT COME LOOSE AT HIGHWAY SPEED IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED CATASTROPHIC LOS OF LIFE, LIMB OR PROPERTY. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS A NATIONAL RECALL. THE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE COMPLAINT NUMBER IS 578 216 92.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE SKY SLIDER UNINTENTIONALLY OPENED. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE HAD WATER DAMAGE, WHICH CAUSED ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND VARIOUS UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BROWN'S JEEP CHRYSLER DODGE RAM (483 NY-112, EAST PATCHOGUE, NY 11772, (888) 615-2184) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS FOR THE FAILURE WERE DISCONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION PAN LEAKING. TOOK IT TO MY GARAGE AND DISCOVERED THE TRANSMISSION OIL PAN WAS RUSTING FROM THE INSIDE OUT! NOW MY ENGINE OIL PAN SEEMS TO BE DOING THE SAME. ANYBODY ELSE? 91K MILEAGE

THE 2012 JEEP LIBERTY ONLY HAS 56K THOUSAND MILE AND TRANSMISSION PAN WAS LEAKING AND RUSTING. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE AND WHY ISN'T THIS A SAFETY HAZARD/PRODUCT DEFECT. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE. THE OIL PAN ALSO SHOWING SIGNS OF RUSTING AS WELL. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS HOT AND LEAKING FLUID IS THIS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE.

SOMETHING WITH THE STARTER AND SOMETHING WITH THE BACK LATCH CAN'T LOCK VECHICLE UP DO TO THE ALARM WILL GO OFF

I HAVE A PENDING FILE: 11151151; ENGINE FIRE. I TOOK A QUICK SURVEY OF COMPLAINTS ON THE NHTSA SITE AND FOUND 23 OTHER JEEP LIBERTY RECORDS FROM 2006-2012 DESCRIBING VALVE FAILURES AND ENGINE FIRES, WHICH INDICATES A DESIGN FLAW AND NEED FOR INVESTIGATION. NHSTA SHOULD ALSO LOOK AT MODEL YEARS 2002-2005, DODGE NITRO, AND OTHER VEHICLES THAT USED THE MOPAR 3.7 ENGINE. THE RATE OF FAILURE AND FIRE POINTS TO A DESIGN FLAW THAT MUST BE RECTIFIED

DRIVING FREEWAY SPEED, ENGINE LOST POWER, ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT FLASHED, THEN ENGINE LIGHT; PULLED ONTO SHOULDER, RAISED HOOD, OBSERVED FIRE AT VALVE COVER/WIRING HARNESS. MECHANIC'S SUBSEQUENT INSPECTION REVEALED VALVE/ROCKER ARM FAILURE RESULTED IN PUNCTURED VALVE COVER THAT RELEASED OIL ONTO HOT ENGINE RESULTING IN FIRE. ROCKER ARM FAILURES ARE COMMON ON MOPAR 3.7 ENGINE - GOOGLE THE TERM AND MANY HITS WILL APPEAR. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR AN ENGINE WITH 82,000 MILES THAT WAS SERVICED REGULARLY ACCORDING TO MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDATIONS. NEW ENGINE NOW REQUIRED.
