2003 JEEP LIBERTY Electrical System Problems

MISFIRERS REPLACED ENGINE ONE YEAR LATER SAME PROBLEM MISFIRES TOOK TO MECHANIC REPLACED SPARK PLUGS AND COILS . DROVE 30 MILE. S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING, PULLED OVER TURNED ENGINE OFF.CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT SOLID FOR ANOTHER 10 MILES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AGAIN. I HAD TO PULL OVER 30 TIMES TO MAKE IT HOME. TOOK BACK TO MECHANIC REPLACED FUEL PUMP. STILL MISFIRE. THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH JEEPS . PLEASE RECALL .I HAVE PAIDED SO MUCH MONEY IN REPAIRS. STILL NOT FIXED.

THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE REWIRED, WHICH IS VERY COMMON!

WINDOW REGULATORS KEEP ON FAILING. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE REGULATOR IN EACH WINDOW AT LEAST ONCE, AND 2 OF THEM HAVE BEEN REPLACED MORE THAN ONCE. I AM ABOUT TO REPLACE MY 7TH REGULATOR. 3 MONTHS AGO THE REGULATOR FAILED ON MY DRIVER'S SIDE - BACK SEAT DOOR. IT GOT ITSELF HUNG IN THE DOOR PANEL AND COULDN'T OPEN THE DOOR, SO HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE GARAGE TO GET FIXED. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST COMPLAINT, NOR THE LAST SO SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE TO RESOLVE THESE ISSUES. THE REGULATOR ITSELF STILL WORKED, BUT THE HOUSING THE CHAIN STAYS IN WOULD BREAK AND CAUSE THE CHAIN TO COME OUT THE DOOR PANEL, AND KNOCK THE WINDOW OFF ITS TRACK AND DAMAGE THE GLASS!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE UNTIL AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V673000 (AIR BAGS). A DAY AFTER THE REPAIR, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED AND WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND PARKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THE SPEED SENSOR WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DIFFERENTIAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TOOK PICTURES OF THE DIFFERENTIAL AND THE CONTACT TOOK THE PART BACK TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT WAS WAITING FOR A RESPONSE FROM THE MANUFACTURER TO DETERMINE A REPAIR SOLUTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

. I HAVE A 2003 JEEP LIBERTY RENEGADE WHICH I'VE HAD SINCE 2004. SINCE THAT TIME, I'VE HAD THE REAR WINDOW REPAIRED AT LEAST 6 TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE WINDOW WILL FAIL ' WEATHER YOU USE IT OR NOT ' EVENTUALLY AND FALL INTO THE DOOR FRAME. I'VE HAD THIS HAPPEN WHEN PARKED, WHEN USING THE WINDOW OR JUST DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT HAPPENED A FEW DAYS AGO AGAIN BECAUSE MY WIFE ROLLED THE REAR WINDOW DOWN BY ACCIDENT (I HAVEN'T USED EITHER REAR WINDOW SINCE THE LAST REPAIR DONE A FEW YEARS AGO!).

MY VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVIN ON SMOOTH OPEN HIGHWAY . THE CHILD IN THE BACK SEAT REQUESTED THE BACK WINDOW BE ROLLED UP . THIS DRIVER PROCEEDED TO DEPRESS BUTTON THAT CONTROLS THE OPERATION OF THE WINDOW IN THE BACK SEAT UP OR DOWN AND WHEN DOING SO THE WINDOW DID NOT CLOSE ALL THE WAY SHUT. THIS DRIVER STOPPED TO GET GAS AND TRIED THE SWITCH ONCE AGAIN . THE WINDOW WOULD STILL NOT CLOSE ALL THE WAY . WHEN WINDOW WAS TOUCHED AT THE TOP , IT FELT LOOSE AND EASILY SLID DOWN INTO THE DOOR AND NO LONGER WORKED TO CLOSE AT ALL. DIAGNOSIS WAS MADE AT A PROFESSIONAL DEALER QUOTING $300 CLAIMING THAT THE REGULATORY SWITCH WAS BROKEN .UPON CALLING CHRYSLER WITH COMPLAINT , MY RESPONSE WAS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS AT MY EXPENSE BECAUSE A- THE VEHICLE IS OLDER AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS PROBLEM . I STRONGLY DISAGREE THAT THE AGE AND NUMBER OF OWNERS OF A VEHICLE WARRANTS DENIAL OF RECALL AND REPLACE OR THE REGULATORY SWITCH .THIS IS A CONTINUAL PROBLEM AND HUNDREDS OF OTHER PERSONS HAVE COMPLAINED THE SAME PROBLEM. CHRYSLER USED CHEAP PARTS MEANT TO BREAK WITH NO REGARD FOR ITS CUSTOMERS WHATSOEVER. IN MY CASE CHILDREN WERE IN THE VEHICLE BACK SEAT AND THIS PROBLEM DOES IMPOSE A SAFETY RISK TO CHILDREN AS WELL AS FINANCIAL BURDEN ON THE CUSTOMER. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY HAVE REMADE REGULATORY SWITCH AND MOTOR BETTER BUILT ONY WANT CUSTOMERS TO BUY IT . REGULATORY SWITCH SHOULD BE RECALLED AND RE INSTALLED JUST LIKE THE HITCH WAS , TS IS NO DIFFERENT A CHILD IS PUT AT RISK !

EITHER BEGINNING OF THE THIS YEAR OR LAST MONTH OF LAST YEAR, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHRYSLER ABOUT A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE FOR THE AIR BAG, SO BEFORE I TURN IN THE MY TRUCK FOR SERVICE THE AIR BAG LIGHT DON'T COME ON AT ALL, BUT AFTER THEY FIXED THE RECALL ISSUES, FEW MONTHS LATER MY AIR BAG LIGHT KEEP COMING ON AND STAY ON, SO I CALL THE CHRYSLER DEALER WHO FIXED MY TRUCK AND THERE REPLY IS THAT IS NOT OUR PROBLEM THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT COME ON WHEN YOU DRIVE. SO HERE MY QUESTION IF THE RECALL WAS CALL FOR THE AIRBAGS IN MY TRUCK WHY MY AIRBAG LIGHT NOW IS COMING ON WHEN I DRIVE MY TRUCK, ARE THEY SUPPOSE TO FIXED THE AIRBAG OR WHAT, DON'T UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG BUT MY LIGHT FOR THE AIRBAG IS ON.. SO PLEASE HELP ME TO UNDERSTAND WHAT SHOULD I DO, NOW I AFRAID TO DRIVE MY TRUCK WHEN I GO TO WORK.. SO NOW EVERY TIME I TURN ON MY SIGNAL MY DOME LIGHT COMES ON AND STAY ON FOR GOOD 5 MINS.. *TR

TWO OF THE REAR WINDOWS HAVE FAILED. BOTH OF THEM DROPPED FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND WOULD NOT WORK TO CLOSE THEM. ONE OF THE FAILED IN 3/2013 AND THE OTHER ONE FAILED TODAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING 60 MPH ON THE FREEWAY. I KNOW THAT JEEP HAS HAD MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE FAILURE OF THEIR WINDOWS. I KNOW THAT IT IS GOING TO COST AT LEASE $300 TO REPAIR EACH WINDOW. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO AFFORD TO REPAIR THE FIRST FAILED WINDOW. I HAVE HAD TO USE DUCT TAPE OVER AND OVER TO TRY AND KEEP IT CLOSED. NOW THE SECOND WINDOW HAS FAILED AND IS TRAPPED INSIDE THE DOOR FRAME. JEEP NEEDS TO RECALL THESE DEFECTIVE WINDOWS. *TR

MY VEHICLE HAS A RECALL ON THE AIR BAGS AND THE VEHICLE CAN NOT BE CORRECTED. I WAS TOLD THE JEEP DEALERSHIPS DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX IT. ALSO, THE PCM COMPONENT OF MY VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP HAS DISCONTINUED THE PART, AN AFTERMARKET PART CAN NOT BE FOUND AND NONE ARE ON BACK ORDER. MY VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THE WARRANTY DEPARTMENT IS SENDING THE PCM TO HAVE THE PART REFURBISHED BUT WILL NOT GUARANTEE THE PART. MY CONCERN IS THE CARS SAFETY IS NOT GUARANTEED DUE TO THE RECALL ON AIRBAGS AND THE PCM IS THE MAIN COMPUTER PART FOR THE CAR, IF IT CAN NOT BE GUARANTEED TO BE SAFE AND RUNNING WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS? *TT

THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROL (ORC) MODULE HAS A CHANCE OF EXPERIENCING AN ELECTRICAL OVERSTRESS CONDITION. PART HAS NOT BEEN SHIPPED TO MY DEALER AS OF 7/29/2013. M35/NHTSA 12V-527 NOTIFIED CLOSE TO 6 MONTHS AGO. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON FOR 15 SECONDS, THEN WENT OFF FOR 15 SECONDS, THEN FLASHED BACK ON AND OFF FOLLOWING THAT TIMING SEQUENCE FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. AFTER 10 MINUTES, THE LIGHT STAYED OFF. I CALLED CHRYSLER BECAUSE I HAD RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN JANUARY 2013 ABOUT FAULTY AIR BAGS IN THIS MODEL, WHICH COULD INADVERTENTLY DEPLOY WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. THE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT THE PART NEEDED IS A HARNESS, HOWEVER, THE PART IS NOT YET AVAILABLE. SHE TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM UNTIL THE PART IS CREATED. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NO INCIDENTS OF AIRBAGS DEPLOYING INADVERTENTLY, BUT THERE IS A RISK IT CAN HAPPEN, THEREFORE THE RECALL. HOWEVER THIS IS EXTRAORDINARILY DANGEROUS AND THE FACT THAT CHRYSLER HAS NO DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

EVER SINCE MY ISSUE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS AND FOGLIGHTS TURNING ON/OFF BEGAN, I HAVE A CONSTANT RELAY CLICKING NOISE TO THE LEFT SIDE OF MY STEERING WHEEL AND MY IDLING RPM'S DROPPED. *TR

Mileage: 48,000

WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE HEADLIGHTS AND FOG LIGHTS TURNED ON AND OFF EVERY COUPLE OF SECONDS. I HAVE DUPLICATED THE SCENARIO ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. HEADLIGHTS WORK FINE WITHOUT THE FOG LIGHTS ON. WHEN FOG LIGHTS ARE TURNED ON, HEADLIGHTS AND FOG LIGHTS TURN ON/OFF. I HAVE NOT USED FOG LIGHTS AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS. MECHANICS CAN NOT DUPLICATE SCENARIO.

MY WIFE WAS ENTERING AN ON-RAMP AND INCREASING SPEED. THE JEEP LIBERTY COMPLETED DIED AND THE STEERING AND BRAKES WERE NOT WORKABLE. THIS IS THE 10TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. ALSO, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON. WE'VE HAD THE JEEP INTO THE DEALERSHIP APPROXIMATELY 6 TIMES AND THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE ISSUE. I RECENTLY CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND COMPLAINED AND THEY SET ME UP WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AGAIN. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND WE ARE WORRIED FOR OUR LIVES WHILE DRIVING THE JEEP.

DRIVING AT NIGHT WHEN I HEARD CLICKING NOISES NEAR FUSE PANEL LEFT SIDE OF STEERING WHEEL COLUMN; SHORTLY THEREAFTER HEADLIGHTS FLASHED ON AND OFF FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 SECONDS. PROBLEM BECAME INTERMITTENT BUT USUALLY OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. CLICKING NOISES PERSIST NEAR FUSE PANEL AND HEADLIGHTS FLASH OFF AND ON. DEALERSHIP UNABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM AS THEY SAID THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM, BUT THEY TRIED SWAPPING HEADLAMP RELAY WITH DRIVER'S DOOR LOCK RELAY. HOWEVER, THIS SOLUTION DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. IN FACT, CLICKING NOISES ARE NOW HEARD EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY JEEP, AND THE HEADLIGHTS CONTINUE TO RANDOMLY FLASH ON AND OFF. THE PROBLEM NOW OCCURS DURING THE DAY WITH HEADLIGHTS ON AS WELL AS AT NIGHT.THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT YET CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, BUT DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH RANDOM FLASHING HEADLIGHTS CREATES A SAFETY PROBLEM WITH MY VISIBILITY AND OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. ANOTHER AREA OF CONCERN DEALS WITH THE POTENTIAL RESPONSES FROM OTHER DRIVERS THAT BELIEVE I AM FLASHING THEM FOR AN AGGRESSIVE REASON. I FOUND ONLINE DISCUSSIONS FROM OTHERS JEEP OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO LOCATE HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. RANDOM FLASHING HEADLIGHTS, OUT OF THE CONTROL OF THE DRIVER, PRESENTS A HUGE SAFETY RISK AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

AT TIMES OVER PAST COUPLE YEARS, VEHICLE HAS RANDOMLY STALLED WHILE DRIVING, BUT THEN RESTARTED. IN DECEMBER 2012 BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON, LIGHTS ON DASH/CONSOLE DIMMED, WENT OFF AND ON ETC. VEHICLE STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. WAS IN GARAGE THROUGH JANUARY. MECHANIC HAS ON COMPUTER, EVERYTHING TESTED OK. CHECKED ALTERNATOR, BATTERY ETC. ALL OK. WE PICKED VEHICLE UP IN JANUARY AS WAS RUNNING FOR MECHANIC. DROVE HOME. HUSBAND NEXT DAY TRIED TO START AND IT WOULDN'T START. NEEDED JUMPED, BUT ALL LIGHTS ON DASH GOING ON AND OFF ETC AND STALLED AGAIN AND WOULDN'T START. BACK TO MECHANIC. JUST PICKED VEHICLE UP AGAIN (MECHANIC HAS HAD SINCE JANUARY). AS SOON AS LEAVING MECHANIC, BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. BEFORE WE GOT TO DRIVE WAY, ALL DASH LIGHTS WENT OUT AND WHEN STOPPED AT STOP SIGN, SHUT OFF AND WOULDN'T RESTART. HAD TO BE JUMPED. GOT IT TO DRIVE WAY, AND WILL NOT RESTART AGAIN. *TR

I BOUGHT MY JEEP OFF OF MY GRANDPARENTS IN OCTOBER. ITS A REALLY NICE JEEP, ONLY HAS 69,000 MILES. THAT'S GOOD FOR AN 03. EVERY CAR HAS ITS PROBLEMS IM SURE. BUT MINES ON RECALL. I HAVE HAD THE AIRBAG LIGHT COME ON AND GO OFF. AND I COMES ON WHENEVER IT WANTS TO. AND IT SCARES ME BECAUSE IF THE AIRBAGS GO OFF, NOT ONLY WILL I BE MAD, BUT YOU CAN BET, ILL PROB RAISE HELL. BECAUSE I DON'T FELL SAVE DRIVING A CAR THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO HAVE THE AIRBAGS GO OFF. ALSO I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE POWER LOCK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WORKS WHEN I WANTS TO. LIKE I HAVE TO HIT IT A COUPLE TIMES TO GET IT TO WORK. NOT SUCH A BIG DEAL. ALSO THE CD PLAYER DOESN'T WORK. LIKE I'VE CHANGE ALL THE FUSES TO TRY AND GET THE DOOR LOCK/CDPLAYER TO WORK. AND NOTHING CHANGED. IT MAKE A REALLY LOUD AND ANNOYING NOISE AFTER THE CD PLAYS FOR AWHILE. THAT I DON'T CAR ABOUT. ALSO ONE DAY I GOT IN MY JEEP. I DON'T KNOW HOW BECAUSE THE DOOR WAS SHUT AND LOCKED, BUT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, ON THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR. WAS NOTHING BUT ICE. THE DOOR STILL OPENED AND CLOSED, NO PROBLEM BUT, IT LOOKED LIKE SOMEBODY TOOK A GALLON OF WATER AND DUMPED IN DOWN THE INSIDE OF MY DOOR AND IT FROZE OVER. AND THAT'S THE PROBLEMS I'VE NOTICED WITH IT. THE ONLY THING I CARE ABOUT IS THE WHOLE AIR BAG THING. I HAVE RECEIVED NOTICE THAT IT WILL BE FIXED, BUT WILL IT BE FIXED FOR GOOD. BECAUSE I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING AROUND AND DOING MY DAILY THINGS, KNOWING THAT I, OR MY FAMILY, OR FRIENDS COULD GET HURT FROM THE AIRBAGS GOING OFF. SO I HOPE THAT WHATEVER THE COMPANY IS DOING TO FIX IT WORKS, BECAUSE EVERYDAY I GET IN MY JEEP, THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT IS GOING THREW MY HEAD. THANKS *TR

ALL LIGHTS ON VEH FLICKERED OFF FOR ABOUT 1-2 SEC TURNED ON AND THEN QUICK FLICKER THEN ON AGAIN AND REMAINED ON. THE FIRST TIME I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE THEN IT OCCURRED A TOTAL OF 3 OTHER TIMES WITHIN THE YEAR. LAST WAS JUST RECENTLY 1/20/2013 AND IT SHUT OFF FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME MAYBE 3-4 SEC. I WAS DISTANCE TRAVELING ON A HIGH TRAFFIC HIGHWAY AT NIGHT AND NOW SEE THE SAFETY CONCERNS. SINCE THE FIRST OCCURRENCE I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY. THE ENTIRE LIGHT PANEL INSIDE THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS ARE AFFECTED. OTHER ISSUES I HAVE EXPERIENCED SINCE OWNING THE VEH IN 2002 IS THE SIDE PASSENGER POWER LOCK NO LONGER FUNCTIONS, STILL DOES NOT FUNCTION. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER REAR WINDOW REGULATOR. IN 2007, THE GLASS JUST FELL DOWN ONE DAY DID NOT BREAK. PLACED A STICK IN DOOR PANEL TO HOLD UP GLASS AND FINALLY REPLACED IT IN 2011. *TR

MY KEY WILL NOT TURN IN THE IGNITION OF THE 2003 JEEP LIBERTY. THE STEERING COLUMN WAS NOT LOCKED AND I TRIED FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES TO JIGGLE/TURN THE WHEEL, JIGGLE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTER, ETC. THE KEY WAS INSERTED FULLY BECAUSE ELECTRICAL CAME ON TO ALERT ME THAT THE KEY WAS IN THE IGNITION (WHEN I OPENED THE DRIVER DOOR THE WARNING BEEPS CAME ON TO SIGNIFY KEY STILL IN IGNITION). THE IGNITION SIMPLY WOULD NOT TURN. I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND HAVE SINCE LEARNED FROM ONLINE RESEARCH THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEP LIBERTY'S AND MANY CHRYSLER PRODUCTS. THE SOLUTIONS SEEM TO BE PATCHWORK WORKAROUNDS THAT PEOPLE HAVE COME UP WITH INDEPENDENT OF CHRYSLER'S HELP. *TT

HEADLIGHTS GO OFF & ON WHILE DRIVING, ACCOMPANIED BY RELAY CLICKING NOISE. *TR

POWER WINDOWS FAILING TO STAY UP DUE TO FAULTY REGULATORS: TWO YEARS AGO THE REAR LEFT WINDOW OF MY 2003 LIBERTY FELL INTO THE DOOR CASING. WHEN USING THE ATOMATIC BUTTONS, THE WINDOW WOULD NOT GO UP AND THE WINDOW MOTOR WOULD SIMPLY ATTEMPT TO RAISE THE WINDOW WITH NO SUCCESS. UPON TAKING IT TO THE JEEP DEALER, THEY STATED THE WINDOW REGULATOR NEEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER PAYING $227.94, MY WINDOW WAS FIXED AND BACK TO NORMAL. SURPRISINGLY, A FEW MONTHS LATER, THE RIGHT WINDOW FELL WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE). BACK TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP WE WENT, FOR A SECOND AND UNNECESSARY DIAGNOSTIC (THE MAINTENCE MAN SAID THIS WAS A PROBLEM HE HAD FREQUENTLY SEEN) TO DETERMINE THE REGULATOR WAS BROKEN. I PAID TO HAVE THE SECOND WINDOW FIXED AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE MY CAR. THIS WEEK, THE LEFT REAR WINDOW FELL AGAIN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD (20 MPH). I CONTACTED JEEP HEADQUARTERS DIRECTLY AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE (INCULDING THE NHTSA WEBSITE) THAT THIS IS CLEARLY NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND THEY HAVE NEGLECTED TO ADDRESS THE SAFTEY ISSUE WITH THEIR AUTOMOBILE OWNERS. THEY ARE REQUESTING THAT I TAKE MY JEEP BACK IN FOR ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC, AND TO CONFIRM THERE HAS BEEN NO "NEGLECT" OF MAINTENANCE ON MY PART. MY JEEP HAS JUST OVER 65,000 MILES ' IT IS IN PERFECT CONDITION WITH THE EXCEPTION OF FAULTY WINDOWS. UPON INSPECTION OF THE DEALER THIS WEEK, JEEP SAYS THEY WILL DETERMINE THE NEXT STEP DEPENDING ON THE RESULTS. THIS ISSUE IS DANGEROUS FOR MULTIPLE REASONS - CHILDREN RIDING IN THE CAR, THE FRIGHTENING NOISE MADE FROM THE DROPPING WINDOW, LACK OF SECURITY WHEN PARKING THE CAR/AT A STOP, WEATHER (RAIN, HAIL, SNOW, ETC.), DRIVERS STARTLED BY THE DROP AND ATTEMPTING TO ASSESS THE SITUATION WHILE DRIVING, ETC. ACCORDING TO JEEP HEADQUARTERS VIA PHONE, THEY DISHONESTLY CLAIM TO BE UNAWARE OF THE SITUATION. *TR

HEADLIGHTS GO OUT AND HEAR CLICKING NOISE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS FLAW. THIS IS INTERMITTENT AND THE DEALER CAN NOT SEEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM. IN DOING RESEARCH THERE IS A LARGE HISTORY OF THIS EXACT PROBLEM ON THE JEEPS FROM YEARS 2002-2004. THE LIGHTS FINALLY CAME ON BUT ON A DARK CURVEY HILL WITH CLIFFS COULD HAVE CAUSED A INJURY OR FATAL CRASH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER FAILED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC THAT LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE SPEEDOMETER SENSORS. THE LOCAL MECHANIC REPLACED THREE SENSORS AND THE SPEEDOMETER WORKED FOR ONE YEAR BEFORE FAILING AGAIN. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED BECAUSE HE WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE AT WHAT SPEED HE WAS TRAVELING. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY ADVISED THAT THE FAILURE WOULD NEED TO BE DIAGNOSED TO DETERMINE HOW TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2003 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT, I HEARD A LOUD AND DISTRACTING THUD, ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT THE BACK WINDOW ON THE DRIVERS SIDE HAD FALLEN INTO THE DOOR. THE DOOR ALSO BECAME JAMMED AND I WAS UNABLE TO OPEN IT FROM EITHER THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENED TO THE OTHER BACK WIDOW JUST 9 MONTHS PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. AT THAT TIME I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP, AND PAID TO HAVE IT FIXED.I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING IN THE JEEP LIBERTY. THE ISSUE IS A CHEAP, PLASTIC PART USED IN THE WINDOW REGULATOR. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW, AND CHRYSLER WILL ONLY REPLACE THIS PART WITH ANOTHER CHEAP PLASTIC PART, RATHER THAN USING A STURDIER METAL PART. THIS IS AN EXPENSE ISSUE AS WELL AS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE NOISE THE WINDOW MAKES WHEN IT FALLS IS VERY DISTRACTING. ALL THE DOORS AND WINDOWS SHOULD BE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY IN CASE OF EMERGENCIES, AND THE DRIVER SHOULD BE ABLE TO CONTROL THE WINDOWS, IN ORDER TO AVOID DANGEROUS DEBRIS FLYING INTO THE CAR, NOT TO MENTION HAVING SOME CONTROL OVER OUTSIDE ELEMENTS. (WEATHER) CHRYSLER REALLY SHOULD DO A RECALL, AND STOP CHARGING JEEP OWNERS TO FIX WHAT IS THEIR FAULT IN THE FIRST PLACE-IT IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE JEEP LIBERTY. MANY REPORTS FROM JEEP OWNERS MENTION THIS HAPPENING TO THE SAME WINDOW, OR MULTIPLE WINDOWS OVER AND OVER. THERE OUGHT TO BE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST CHRYSLER. *TR

AFTER BUYING THE CAR AS JEEP LIBERTY RENEGADE 2003 USED AT ABOUT 40,000 MILES. THE SECOND TIME I DROVE THE CAR ON THE INTERSTATE THE CAR STARTED STALLING AND RUNNING VERY ROUGH. I LIMPED IN FOR ABOUT 15 MILES TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY CRANK SENSOR. THAT WAS REPLACED AND CAR RAN FINE FOR 4 YEARS. NOW WITH 66000 MILES THE CAR STALL WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED. RESTARTED AND TOOK CAR IN AND PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY CRANK SENSOR AGAIN, BUT PART HAD TO BE ORDERED AND CAR WAS RUNNING FINE. SO I DECIDED TO DRIVE CAR WHILE WAITING FOR THE PART AND NEXT DAY THE CAR WOULD NOT START. WHEN TOW TRUCK ARRIVED CAR STATED FINE BUT HAD CAR TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP. THE SENSOR WAS REPLACED BUT THE SHOP STILL WAS HAVING PERIODIC STALLING PROBLEM. IT WAS FINALLY DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY CAM SHAFT SENSOR WHICH WAS REPLACED AND NOW THE CAR IS RUNNING FINE. LOOKS LIKE JEEP HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE SENSORS IN THE JEEP RENEGADE MODEL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING HEADLIGHTS TURN ON & OFF INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT ANY ACTION FROM THE DRIVER. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN IT HAPPENS, FREQUENCY VARIES FROM DAILY TO ONCE A WEEK. ANOTHER (RELATED?) ACTION STARTED HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME, ALSO INTERMITTENT ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. ENGINE WILL USUALLY RESTART BUT NOT IDLE WITHOUT HOLDING THE GAS PEDAL DOWN. AFTER TURNING OFF AND WAITING A SHORT TIME THE ENGINE WILL START AND IDLE FINE FOR A MATTER OF MINUTES OR DAYS. *TR

OUR VEHICLE BEGAN STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING ON A MAIN ROAD. WE PULLED OVER AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START IT AGAIN WHITE SMOKE BEGAN COMING OUT. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO GET US HOME. IT WAS SITTING IN THE MAIN ROAD AND I HAD MY CHILDREN WITH ME. THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR STARTED UP AGAIN. WE TOOK IT TO AUTOZONE AND THE CRANK SENSOR SHOWED UP. I BOUGHT A CRANK SENSOR AND TOOK IT TO FUCCILLOS IN ADAMS NY. THEY REPLACED IT AND SAID THAT THE CRANK SENSOR WAS SEIZED INTO THE ENGINE. WHEN IT WAS DONE I PICKED IT UP BUT THE SAME ISSUES BEGAN. THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC WHICH SHOWED ANOTHER FAULTY CRANK SENSOR, A CAM SENSOR AND THERE WAS GAS IN OUR OIL. THEN I WAS TOLD 3 IGNITION COILS WERE MELTED. THEN I WAS TOLD ANOTHER COIL WAS BAD. CHRYSLER SAID THAT WHEN THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH YOUR CRANK OR CAM THAT THE COILS WILL REMAIN HOT EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS OFF. LOOKING ON LINE, MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUES-SOME HAVE THE SAME ISSUES OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I CALLED TO ASK IF THERE WAS A RECALL BUT WAS TOLD NOT OF YET. *TR

2003 JEEP LIBERTY RENEGADE. CAN PUT THE KEY IN AND TURN, BUT CAR WILL NOT START. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AMONGST JEEP LIBERTY OWNERS, AS I HAVE SEEN MANY POSTS ONLINE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. APPARANTLY A COMPONENT OF THE STEERING COLUMN THAT CONNECTS TO THE IGNITION SWITCH IS DEFECTED. JEEP SHOULD ABSOLUTELY ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND ISSUE A RECALL. *TR

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND SUDDENLY LOST POWER. HAD TO BE TOWED TO GARAGE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR AND CAM SHAFT POSITION SENSORS WERE BOTH GONE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. JEEP LIBERTY SPORT 2003 ONLY HAS 61000 MILES ON IT. *TR

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS MY CAR HAS STALLED. PRIOR TO IT STALLING IT WOULD HAVE POWER SURGES, BACKFIRE, THE RPM NEEDLE WOULD GO CRAZY, AND THEN JUST SHUT OFF LOOSING ALL POWER TO BRAKES AND STEERING. STALLING WOULD OCCUR MOSTLY AT LOWER RATES OF SPEEDS (UNDER 50MPH). IT WOULDN'T TURNOVER IMMEDIATELY. I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT 20 TO 25 SECONDS EACH TIME AND THEN IT WOULD START, ALMOST AS IF THE SYSTEM RESETS ITSELF. IT'S PRETTY SCARY WHEN YOU HAVE TO YOUNG CHILDREN AND YOUR ON A FREEWAY AND YOUR CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN STALLS. THE SECOND PROBLEM I'M HAVING IS A VERY LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR END. I POINTED MY SIDE MIRROR DOWN TOWARDS MY BACKTIRE. I WATCHED AS THE REAREND MADE A LOAD CLUNCKING NOISE AND IT WAS AS IF THE BACK TIRE WAS BEING PUSHED OUTWARDS. THE THIRD PROBLEM IS MY PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW JUST DROPPED INTO THE DOOR. THE MOTOR STILL WORKS I CAN HEAR IT. AND LAST BUT NO LEAST MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL BLINKS EXTREMELY FAST AND THEN SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE JEEP DEALERSHIP. I THINK IT'S KIND OF FUNNY THAT THE GUY WANTS TO CHARGE ME $200 TO INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEMS I'M HAVING TO FIND OUT WHAT IT IS. THANKS TO EVERYONE'S COMPLAINTS I CAN CALL HIM AND TELL HIM THE PROBLEMS, AS IF HE DIDN'T ALREADY KNOW. GOODLUCK TO EVERYONE. *TR

IGNITION LOCKS UP. KEY SOMETIMES WON'T TURN, SOMETIMES WILL, BUT CAR WILL NOT START. KEY SOMETIMES WON'T GO ALL THE WAY INTO THE IGNITION SLOT. ALL FUSES ARE FINE, POWER ON VEHICLE IS FINE. STARTER GOOD, EVERYTHING ELSE CHECKED OUT. STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT LOCK. CAR WILL NOT START. WELL-MAINTAINED, 2003 JEEP LIBERTY WITH 80,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

TRANSMISSION HESITATES / LURCHES RANDOMLY. CAR STALLS OUT, INCREASINGLY FREQUENTLY DESPITE REPAIRS. WHEN ENGINE CUTS OUT, LOSE ALL POWER STEERING BRAKES ETC - SO FAR ONLY AT LOW SPEEDS BUT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE - SEEMS VERY SIMILAR TO JEEP COMMANDER RECALL AT HIGHER SPEEDS. RPM NEEDLE GOES WILD AFTER ENGINE CUTS OUT. CAN RESTART AND LIMP A FEW MILES, THEN NEED TOW - 2X TOWED IN 1 WEEK, 3X TOWED IN 2 MONTHS, AND 4 TRIPS TO SHOP WITHOUT RESULTS. CAR CURRENTLY STUCK UPSTATE NY WHERE I WAS TRYING TO VACATION -AND CHRYSLER/JEEP NOT SO COOPERATIVE. THERE'S PLENTY EVIDENCE OF STALLING PROBLEMS ON INTERNET FOR 4-5 YEARS - SEE EDMUNDS. THEORIES: DECELERATION / RPMS BELOW 1000 MAKE ENGINE CUT OUT. SOLENOID IS PULLING BATTERY AMPS =12 AND CAUSING HAVOC IN IGNITION SYSTEM, SHORT-CIRCUITING SENSORS. THERMAL COMPUTER MODULE DAMAGE. COMPUTER SCANS FOR DIAGNOSTIC CODES DEFINITELY NOT RELIABLE. BY RELYING ONLY ON COMPUTER MODULE FOR DIAGNOSIS, DEALERS ARE ONLY MAKING THE PROBLEM WORSE BECAUSE THEY ARE SENDING CARS BACK OUT WITHOUT FIXING ROOT PROBLEM, CAUSING MORE DAMAGE. I HAD WHEEL SENSOR FOUND CORRODED 6/3, CRANK SENSOR FAIL 8/6 AND CAM SENSOR FAILED 8/10. SENSORS DON'T FAIL SEQUENTIALLY NOR SO FAST. SOMETHING IS CAUSING SENSORS TO FAIL. AND WHILE SENSORS NOT WORKING THEY ARE CAUSING DAMAGE OF THEIR OWN...COMPUTER, IGNITION COILS (ALL 6 NEEDED REPAIR IN 1 CASE WHERE BURNED OUT). WHO KNOWS IF THE SPARK PLUGS, FUEL PUMPS, INJECTION CLEANS, AND THROTTLE BODY CLEANS WORK OR NOT. (SOME SAY TB CLEANOUT IS IMPORTANT IF STALLS ARE AT LOWER SPEEDS - LESS AIR INFLOW). BATTERY SEEMED TO HAVE ISSUES TOO SOON - MAY BE RELATED. ONE CASE WHERE HARNESS WIRING RUBBED AGAINST REAR SOMETHING CAUSING PROBS. MY SPEEDOMETER BROKE AFTER 1 SENSOR REPAIR. SEPARATELY (UNLESS WATER AND CORROSION ARE THE REAL CULPRITS) BRAKES AND ROTORS WEARING OUT - REPLACED 2X IN 40K MILES. NOT RIGHT. SOME BLOG ON THAT, TOO. *TR

WE BOUGHT THIS TRUCK AND 3 DAYS LATER THE SPEED SENSOR WENT OUT IN IT. IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY SO WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY FIXED IT. ABOUT 7 MONTHS LATER THE SAME THING WENT OUT. I HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS AND WE HAVE PUT 4 SPEED SENSORS IN IT. *TR

I HAVE AN '03 JEEP LIBERTY AND 2 YEARS AFTER WE BOUGHT IT, WE STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE IGNITION CYLINDER. IT STARTED TO FREEZE UP AND WOULD NOT TURN SOME TIMES,UNTIL IT GOT TO THE PLACE IT WOULD NOT TURN AT ALL. SO WE TOOK IT TO DADE JEEP CHRYSLER IN SOUTH MIAMI,FL..AND SO THEY REPLACE THE IGNITION CYLINDER AND TUNBLERS [SUPPOSEDLY]. AND THAT WAS IN '05 AND HERE WE ARE IN '08, AND WE'RE HAVING THE SAME IDENTICAL PROBLEM AGAIN. AND THEIR TELLING ME I HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER IGNITION. THE JEEP IS JUST 5YRS. OLD. I CAN REMEMBER WHEN SOMETHING LIKE THAT WOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HER 2003 JEEP LIBERTY IN TRAFFIC APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT. SHE BUMPED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF HER TRAVELING AT ABOUT 10 MPH. IT WAS SUCH A MINOR BUMP THAT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE BURST INTO FLAMES FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT SHE BARELY HAD ENOUGH TIME TO ESCAPE. THE CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS AND THE CAR IS COMPLETELY BURNT OUT INSIDE. *NM

DT: ON SEPTEMBER 19, 2005 SMELLED GAS WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED, BUT IT DID TURN OVER. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN SITTING FOR TWO DAYS . CONSUMER GOT BACK INTO VEHICLE AND SMELLED GAS AGAIN, HOWEVER, CONSUMER DROVE THE VEHICLE, AND THEN PARKED IT FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND THAT WAS WHEN THE AIR PRESSURE COVER BLEW OUT AND THE AIR FILTER WAS HELD DOWN WITH METAL CLAMPS. IT CUT THE INSTALLATION IN THE HOOD OF THE CAR. HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC. THEY REPLACED THE AIR FILTER, TWO CRANK SENSOR CAMS, SIX SPARK PLUGS, ONE MAP SENSOR, ONE INJECTOR, AND AIR BOX AND SIX IGNITION COILS. CONSUMER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, AND THEY SAID THAT THE CONSUMER SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TAKEN IT TO A LOCAL DEALER, AND THEY WILL NOT REIMBURSE THE CONSUMER. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND RMPS WERE GOING UP AND DOWN. *AK

WHILE I WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION (THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 45 MPH), I TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND THEY WERE LOCKED. MY STEERING WAS ALSO LOCKED THAT I COULDN'T TURN. THANK GOD THE SIGNAL JUST TURNED GREEN FOR ME AS I COASTED RIGHT THROUGH IT AND FINALLY CAME TO A STOP ON ITS OWN. I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH THIS VEHICLE. I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, OR BETTER YET, DEAD! I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE. MY LEASE IS UP IN 11 MONTHS AND I WILL NO LONGER PURCHASE A DAIMLER CHRYSLER VEHICLE. *AK

I HAVE A JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED 2003 LEASED ON OCTOBER 2002. IVE HAD TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE SEVEN TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE DEALER HAS NOT REPAIRED IT. THE PROBLEM IS THAT WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS ANYWHERE FROM 30 - 65 AND WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP THE VEHICLE WILL START TO BUCK AND HESITATE, THE SPEEDOMETER WILL SWING BACK AND FORTH AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOSES SPEED AND THEN REGAINS IT. I'VE ALMOST BEEN HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE PALISADES PARKWAY ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE FAILURE STARTED ON APRIL 28,2004 AT 32,000 MILES IT NOW HAS 34,600 MILES AND IT HAS REOCCURRED AFTER ALL SEVEN TIMES OF GOING IN FOR REPAIR OF SAME CONDITION AFTER THE DEALERSHIP AT CENTRAL AVE CHRYSLER JEEP IN YONKERS,CLAIMS TO HAVE REPAIRED IT. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY BY PROPERLY REPAIRING OR REPLACING VEHICLE. *AK

I OWN A 2003 JEEP LIBERTY THAT WAS PURCHASED IN FEBRUARY, 2003 AND CURRENTLY HAS 10,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS STALLED 9 TIMES OVER THE LAST YEAR. THE STALLING OCCURS AT SPEEDS ANYWHERE FROM IDLE TO 65 MILES AN HOUR. IT HAS SERVICED BY TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS ON SIX DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. IT IS CURRENTLY NOT DRIVABLE AND IS SITTING AT A DEALERSHIP IN STAMFORD, CT. THE LAST INCIDENT TOOK PLACE WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MILES AN HOUR ON I-95. THE CAR BEGAN TO JERK AND EVENTUALLY STALLED LEAVING ME WITHOUT STEERING AND PUTTING MY FAMILY AT GREAT RISK. *JB
