2002 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

I HAVE HAD THREE REAR POWER WINDOW REGULATORS BREAK ON MY 2002 JEEP LIBERTY. ONE REPLACEMENT ONLY LASTED EIGHT MONTHS WITH VERY LITTLE USE. THE FAILURE HAS CAUSED THE DOOR TO JAM SO IT CANNOT BE OPENED. THIS CREATES A VERY HAZARDOUS CONDITION THAT IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT A REAR PASSENGER CANNOT GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE THROUGH THAT DOOR. I HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THAT THIS DEFECT IS QUITE COMMON WITH JEEP LIBERTY'S. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AT A LOW SPEED SHE NOTICED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE SUDDENLY BROKE AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE CONTROL ARM BALL JOINT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT HEARD A KNOCKING NOISE IN THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 100324.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHIMMY. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE BALL JOINT HAD FRACTURED, AND THEN THE TIRE SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE. TWO YEARS PRIOR AN IDENTICAL FAILURE OCCURRED ON THE DRIVER-SIDE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALERSHIP. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 106000.

SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING MID-TRIP, ALL WARNING LIGHTS COME ON (ENGINE, ABS ETC) -- SOMETIMES ENGINE DIES WHILE ON THE ROAD. "SPEED SENSOR" OR SOME OTHER COMPUTER-RELATED ISSUE HAS BEEN TALKED ABOUT, BUT 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS INCLUDING THE DEALER HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REPAIR. SPEED SENSOR WAS REPLACED BUT PROBLEM REMAINS. *TR

HEATED SEAT BURNED SEAT AND WAS SMOKING BADLY. THIS IS ON A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY. HEATED SEAT WAS ON AND OVERHEATED TO THE POINT OF BURNING THE SEAT AND PERSONAL PROPERTY TOUCHING THAT AREA OF THE SEAT. THE SEAT WAS SMOKING AND EVEN MELTED THE STITCHING IN THE SEAT. *TR

2002 JEEP LIBERTY SPEED SENSOR FAILURE CAUSES SPEEDOMETER TO STOP WORKING, ENGINE TO DIE WHILE DRIVING, LOSS OF POWERSTEERING, LOSS OF BRAKES, STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP. *TR

RECALL #009V119000 DATED APR 09, 2009 EXPECTED TO BEGIN OCTOBER 2009 COVERING 2002 JEEP LIBERTIES EXCLUDES THE STATE OF LOUISIANA - CONDITION DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL EXACTLY DESCRIBES THE PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE. SINCE CHRYSLER IS AWARE THAT THIS CONDITION DOES EXIST, WHY DOES IT EXCLUDE THE STATE OF LOUISIANA. "THE FRONT SUSPENSION UPPER CONTROL ARM BALL JOINT MAY EXPERIENCE A LOSS OF LUBRICATION WHICH COULD LEAD TO CORROSION, ACCELERATED WEAR & POSSIBLE SEPARATION WHILE DRIVING. CONSEQUENCE: FAILURE OF THE BALL JOINT COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF STEERING CAPABILITY, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH." PREVIOUS RECALL ON LOWER BALL JOINT HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. *TR

I LEFT MY HOUSE TO GO TO WORK AND STARTED TO PULL AWAY WHEN I HEARD A CLUNK AND THEN A TERRIBLE GRINDING NOISE - I TRIED TO BACK UP AND THE UPPER BALL JOINT IN MY JEEP SNAPPED AND TOOK THE BRAKE LINE WITH IT. I GOT OUT AND THE WHEEL/TIRE WAS HANGING SIDEWAYS ON THE VEHICLE. THANK GOD I WAS NOT DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT THE TIME. CHRYSLER SAYS THIS IS NOT A RECALL AND WILL NOT CONSIDER FIXING IT. I AM VERY DISGUSTED AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE LOWER BALL JOINTS HAD BEEN RECALLED PREVIOUSLY AND THERE IS A BULLETIN NOW OUT ABOUT THE UPPER. BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL CONNECTED TO MY VIN THEY WILL NOT CONSIDER IT HOWEVER. I WILL BE FIGHTING THIS. *TR

REAR PASSENGER WINDOW "FELL" DOWN ON IT'S OWN AT HIGHWAY SPEED. CAUSED EXTREME DISTRESS IN MY 6 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. HAVE FOUND SEVERAL THOUSAND COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED FOR NO REASON. WINDOW WAS NOT BEING PUT UP OR DOWN. JUST FELL INTO DOOR. *TR

I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY LAST NIGHT AND THE FRONT DRIVERS WHEEL FELL OFF. THE UPPER CONTROL ARM WITH THE BALL JOINT SNAPPED IN HALF. *TR
