RECALL J17. SAVAGE LB CHRYSLER SAYS THEY HAVE NO PARTS. CHRYSLER IS SENDING ONE REPAIR A WEEK TO EACH DEALERSHIP IN THE US. I MAY BE MONTHS BEFORE THEY CAN CHECK MY 2002 JEEP. SO I DRIVE A POSSIBLY UNSAFE JEEP FOR MONTHS. *TR

THE IGNITION KEY OF MY 2002 JEEP LIBERTY WILL NOT TURN. 8 TO 10 TIMES IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS. HAS CORRECTED ITSELF AFTER A FEW HOURS IN THE PAST. AS OF TODAY WE HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A CAR FOR 3 DAYS. *TR

JEEP LIBERTY. REAR WINDOWS REGULATORS CONTINUE TO FAIL. THE WINDOWS JUST FALL INTO THE DOOR WELL WHILE NOT IN USE. I RARELY OPEN THOSE WINDOWS AND THEY JUST FALL OUT. I HAVE NOW REPLACED THEM FOUR TIMES IN THE PAST THREE YEARS. THE DEALER STATES THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS DEFECT. THERE IS CERTAINLY A DEFECTIVE PART AS I HAVE READ OVER AND OVER OF THIS SITUATION OCCURRING WITH ALL MAKES OF THE JEEP LIBERTY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER STEERING. THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHICH CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE BARRIER.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH. THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND SUDDENLY THE SPEEDOMETER BECAME NONFUNCTIONAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING AT 4 MPH, THE DRIVER TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE ENTIRE CONTROL UPPER ARM COLLAPSED.

THE REAR WINDOW OF MY 2002 JEEP LIBERTY JUST FELL WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I COULD NOT GET IT TO STAY UP AND NOW HAVE IT TAPED UP. AFTER DOING SOME INVESTIGATION OF MY OWN THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRENT PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE HAVING REPLACED THE WINDOW REGULATOR MULTIPLE TIMES. SOMETIMES WHEN THE WINDOW FALLS THE CABLE SOMEHOW KEEPS THE REAR DOOR FROM OPENING. THIS COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN. ALSO, WITH THE WINDOW FALLING FOR NO REASON I AM AFRAID IT MAY FALL, BREAK, AND CUT SOMEONE. IT SEEMS THERE IS A PART MADE OUT OF PLASTIC THAT CONTINUES TO BREAK AND IT SHOULD BE FIXED. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET MY VEHICLE FIXED AND HAVE FOUND THAT IT MAY COST BETWEEN $300 AND $500 AND THEN MAY BREAK AGAIN. I AM A LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT THAT.*DT

NO WARNING OF THE FAILURE. VALVE SPRING BROKE DUE TO NON CLEARANCE IN THE VALVE GUIDE CAUSING THE VALVE TO HANG AND GET SMACKED BY THE PISTON CAUSING SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. NEEDS ENGINE REPLACED AT A COST OF $5 THOUSAND DOLLARS. *TR

PROPELLER SHAFT BEARING WAS EXPOSED CAUSING GRINDING/RATTLING NOISE AND POSSIBLE FAILURE. WHILE DRIVING I HEARD A LOUD CLICK AND RATTLING NOISE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT HE COULD SEE THE BEARING EXPOSED FOR THE PROPELLER SHAFT AND THAT IT NEEDED REPLACEMENT. *TR
