THE TIPM IN MY JEEP IS MESSING UP AND CAUSING ENGINE STALLING, RADIO FAILURE, ETC. I HAVE A BLUE DRIVER THAT CONSTANTLY GIVES ME CODES RELATED TO THIS PART DEFECT. I'VE ALSO GOT AN AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON ALL THE TIME AND YET MY VIN SHOWS NO RECALLS FOR THIS PART. IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT MY AIRBAG MIGHT POSSIBLE FAIL. MY ENGINE HAS ALMOST STALLED 3-4 TIMES SINCE I'VE OWNED IT EITHER FROM A STOP LIGHT ACCELERATING OR CROSSING AT AN INTERSECTION THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.

THE DOORS DO LOCK THROUGH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. YOU CAN MANUALLY LOCK AND UNLOCK THE VEHICLE BUT CAN NOT LOCK/UNLOCK THROUGH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. CD PLAYER ALSO DOES NOT WORK. I BELIEVE THE ISSUE MAY BE STEMMING FROM THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE HOOD, I HAVE CHECKED ALL THE FUSES AND EVERYTHING SHOWS TO BE GOOD.

THE ALTERNATOR ON THE VEHICLE WENT WHICH AFFECTED THE BATTERY AND THE COMPUTER SYSTEM, CAR NEARLY CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE REPAIR PERSON SAID THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN LISTED AS A RECALL BECAUSE A CERTAIN FUSE COULD HAVE AVOIDED THE PROBLEM. THE COMPUTER IS ON BACK ORDER, GOING ON 3 WEEKS AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SOFT TOP COVER UNDERNEATH THE SUN ROOF WOULD NOT PULL OUT CORRECTLY. THE SOFT TOP WAS PART OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE FAILURE CAUSED AN ELECTRICAL SHORT IN THE ENGINE AND THE CHECK ENGINE, TIRE PRESSURE, AND SUN ROOF WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GARAVEL JEEP (300 WESTPORT AVE, NORWALK, CT 06851, (203) 424-2688) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW EGR VALVE NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A SKYSLIDER ROOF THAT MALFUNCTIONED. THE CONTACT HAD TO FORCEFULLY SHUT THE ROOF AFTER THE CABLES DISCONNECTED FROM THE GUIDE RAILS WITH THE CONVERTIBLE SUN ROOF. THE CONTACT CALLED ROTHROCK CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (1608 PLAZA LN, ALLENTOWN, PA 18104, (610) 439-8485), BUT THE PARTS WERE TOO HARD TO OBTAIN SO THEY DID NOT WANT TO ATTEMPT TO MAKE ANY REPAIRS.

THE LIFT GATE SENSOR GETS DAMP WHEN IT RAINS DUE TO THE WAY THE WEATHER STRIPPING IS INSTALLED ON THE BACK WINDOW ON THE GATE. THIS CAUSES THE GATE AJAR SENSOR TO GO OFF THUS CAUSING THE ALARM TO GO OFF. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO NOT BE ABLE TO LOCK YOUR VEHICLE WHICH IS NOT SAFE EITHER. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING REPEATEDLY ALMOST DAILY FOR THE LAST 2 MONTHS.

I WAS DRIVING AT 60MPH ON THE GARDEN STATE PKWY WHEN THE JEEP JUST DIED!!! I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE AND ALL THE LIGHTS WENT ON AND I BARELY WAS ABLE TO GLIDE OVER 3 LANES TO THE SHOULDER AND WAIT FOR TOW TRUCK. I HAVE THIS JEEP FOR 3 YEARS AND THIS IS THE 3RD MAJOR REPAIR I HAD TO DO ON IT!!!

THE JEEP WILL RANDOMLY STALL WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE, ESPECIALLY IN SITUATIONS WHERE I NEED TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY, E.G. AT AN INTERSECTION OR WHEN MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE. I WILL PRESS THE GAS, AND THE JEEP WILL NOT ACCELERATE. I WILL PUSH DOWN MORE ON THE GAS, AND THE JEEP DOES NOT RESPOND. IT HAS NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT EVERY TIME. ALSO, THE JEEP WILL RANDOMLY NOT START. I WILL TURN THE KEY, THERE IS ONE CLICK, ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH COME ON AS USUAL, BUT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT FIRE UP. I CAN TURN THE KEY REPEATEDLY, BUT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START. I HAVE TO LET THE JEEP SIT FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES BEFORE IT WILL START UP AGAIN. NO CODES ARE SENT TO THE COMPUTER SIGNALING AN ERROR OR MALFUNCTION. NO LIGHTS COME ON IN THE DASH, EITHER. MY JEEP IS RANDOMLY NOT FUNCTIONING WHEN BEING STARTED OR WHEN ACCELERATING AND YET, THE JEEP IS NOT SENDING ANY CODES OR DISPLAYING ANY LIGHTS TO INDICATE ANY PROBLEMS. THE TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) IS COMPLETELY FAULTY AND IS GOING TO CAUSE SERIOUS HARM TO MY FAMILY AND OTHERS!

WHILE DRIVING MY 2011 JEEP LIBERTY WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 70MPH ON I-65 INTERSTATE COMING OUT OF GARY INDIANA THE TELL-TALES LIT UP AND THE CAR DROPPED OUT OF CRUISE CONTROL AND IT TOOK THE CAR A FEW SECONDS TO GAIN POWER AGAIN. THIS ALL STARTED WITH THE DRIVERS DOOR NOT UNLOCKING WITH THE REMOTE. A DIAGNOSTICS WAS RUN ON THE CAR AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, OTHER THAN A REAR SENSOR ON THE BRAKE MAKING THE BRAKE LIGHT COME ON. DOING AN INTERNET RESEARCH THE TIPM SENSOR IS THE CAUSE OF MOST OF THESE PROBLEMS WHICH CHRYSLER DOESN'T WANT TO ADMIT. THIS SAME ISSUE WAS DEEMED NOT AN ISSUE A FEW YEARS BACK BY THE NHTSA WITH THE LIBERTY BUT DEEMED NO GOOD BY THE NHTSA FOR THE JEEP CHEROKEE AND DODGE DURANGO. THIS WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. IF I HADN'T TOOK ACTION AS QUICK AS I DID WE WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED BY A SEMI. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS SUV AND THIS IS MY WIFE'S CAR WHICH SHE TAKES MY SON TO SCHOOL IN. THE NHTSA NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE NOW.

I WAS LEAVING WORK ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND I WAS GOING ABOUT 45MPH. ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL WHEN IT WAS IN DRIVE. I HAD TO SWITCH TO THE NUMBER 2 ON MY COLUMN JUST TO GET IT TO DRIVE. THEN, MY AIR BAG LIGHT, ABS LIGHT, HAZARD LIGHTS, ENGINE LIGHT, BATTERY LIGHT, AND PROBABLY MULTIPLE OTHERS CAME ON. MY SPEEDOMETER WENT CRAZY AND SAID I WAS DRIVING AT 0 MPH. MY CAR STARTING SHAKING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO A PARKING LOT WHERE IT SHUT OFF AND COMPLETELY DIED. IT SOUNDED LIKE A CLICKING BUT WOULD NOT START WHEN TURNING THE KEY. I AM VERY LUCKY THAT I DID NOT GET STUCK IN THE ROAD WHEN IT STARTED TO DIE AND GET T-BONED. THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BEFORE IT CAUSES SOMEONE TO CRASH.

DRIVING MY 2011 JEEP LIBERTY WITH 54,000 MILES AT 8AM SATURDAY JUNE 10 2017 AT 50MPH ON A RURAL ROAD. WITHOUT WARNING, THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP, TACHOMETER GOES CRAZY, AND THE CAR DIED. THE BATTERY IS 8 MONTHS OLD, THERE'S NO POWER AT ALL TO THE CABIN. IT'S NOT A FUEL PUMP ISSUE, THE CAR IS DIED AT 50MPH. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER. ALL INDICATIONS IS THAT IT'S THE TIPM TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. WHICH DODGE KNOWS IS AN ISSUE AND YOU ALL HAVE DENIED AS AN ISSUE. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL SHOP, THERE WAS NO STARTING IT. IT WAS ACTUALLY DRUG UP ONTO THE FLATBED BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WAS LOCKED IN PARK. TURNING THE KEY DID NOTHING TO FREE THE SHIFT LEVER. CAR COMPLAINTS.COM SPEAKS LOUDLY AND CLEARLY TO THE TIPM. WHEN I OPENED THE HOOD, THERE IS A RELAY CLICKING AWAY, I REMOVED AND REPLACED THAT RELAY, NO CHANGE TO THE DEAD LIBERTY.

I PRESENTLY OWN A 2011 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT. THE PROBLEM IS THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. AT 30,113 MILES, 6/26/14 I TOOK THE JEEP IN TO CHECK PARTIAL DISPLAY OF BACKGROUND LIGHTING ON THE TEMP GUAGE. THE TECH STATED THAT ALL THOSE CLUSTERS EVENTUALLY FAIL, THAT THIS IS ONLY THE START, IT CANNOT BE REPAIRED, AND YOU HAVE TO ORDER THE WHOLE CLUSTER AS THE PROBLEM CANNOT BE FIXED. THE GUAGE CLUSTER WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ORDERED,BUT PAPERWORK WAS LOST BY THE DEALERSHIP, AND SINCE THE JEEP WAS NOT NOW UNDER WARRANTY I DIDN'T PURSUE A SOLUTION AS IT SEEMED A SMALL PROBLEM. NOW AT 52,000 MILES, 5/5/17 THE GUAGE DIALS STILL WORK, BUT THE JEEP CANNOT BE DRIVEN AT NIGHT SINCE THE GUAGES ARE NOT BACKLITE AND DARK, SUCH AS SPEEDOMETER, FUEL AND TEMP GUAGES AND ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO READ, AND THE ODOMETER, TRIP METERS ARE NOT DISPLAYING. THIS PROBLEM WILL HAVE TO BE FIXED BY REPLACEMENT AT MY EXPENSE, BECAUSE I FELT IT AS A SMALL PROBLEM AND I COULD LIVE WITH IT, BUT OVER TIME IT UNSAFE NOW. BUT I HOPE TO SHED SOME LIGHT ON THIS ONGOING DEFECT FOR SAFETY PURPOSES AND TO SAVE OTHER JEEP OWNERS HEADACHE AND FRUSTATION. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS.

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR OVER A YEAR. ABOUT TWO MONTHS IN IT STARTED SHUTTING OFF, ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP FOR NO REASON. SOMETIME WHEN I DRIVE THE HEADLIGHTS SHUT OF AND THE VEHICLE STARTS SHAKING TREMENDOUSLY. THE VEHICLE OCCASIONALLY STOPS WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE OR WHEREVER. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS BUT THE DEALER CANNOT SEEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT MODULE (ORC) NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V282000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,000.

AFTER FILLING MY GAS TANK AND GROCERY SHOPPING, I CAME OUT TO MY CAR AND IT WOULDN'T START, I THEN HAD IT TOWED TO MY LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP, THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A FAULTY TIPM SENSOR, AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, TURNS OUT I AM ONE OF HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS DEALING WITH THE SAME ISSUE, CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR KNOWINGLY CONTINUING TO INSTALL FAULTY SENSORS AND THEN NOT ASSISTING WITH REPAIRS. OUTRAGEOUS!!! WHAT IS THE POINT OF INVESTING IN AN AMERICAN BRAND WHEN THEY ARE NOT HELD ACCOUNTABLE?? LOSING ALL MY FAITH...

I OWN A 2011 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT 4X4. THE TIPM IS FAILING. WHEN THE CAR WARMS UP, ALL OF THE DASH WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATE, THE SPEEDOMETER FAILS AND THE ACCELERATOR FAILS. ON SOME OCCASIONS THE JEEP FAILS TO IDLE AND DIES, ON OTHER OCCASIONS THE CAR IDLES TOO HIGH ON IT'S OWN LIKE SOMEONE IS REVVING THE ENGINE ALL ON ITS OWN. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE DIAGNOSED A FAULTY TIPM MODULE, WHICH WILL COST $1200 TO REPLACE. HOWEVER, THEY ARE UNABLE TO OBTAIN A TIPM MODULE DUE TO NONE BEING AVAILABLE. I WAS TOLD IT COULD BE MONTHS BEFORE THEY CAN GET ONE IN, DUE TO THE MASSIVE DEMAND. I NOTICED THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS MODULE FOR 2011 JEEP LIBERTY'S MANUFACTURED AFTER JUNE 2011. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED BEFORE THAT DATE. I SEE THAT CHRYSLER RECENTLY SETTLED A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM IN OTHER VEHICLES. I WORK FOR A PRESTIGIOUS PRODUCT LIABILITY LAW FIRM AND PLAN TO LOOK INTO ANOTHER CLASS ACTION. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES.

I WAS DRIVING IN TOWN 30 MILES PER HOUR, AND THE LIFT GATE LIGHT CAME ON. I OPENED AND SHUT THE GATE AND THE INDICATOR LIGHT WENT OFF. I STARTED TO DRIVE AGAIN AND THE LIGHT CAME ON AGIN WHICH CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO COME ON AND SHINE RIGHT IN MY EYES. I AM GOING TO GET IT FIXED, THEY SAID THERE IS CORROSION IN THE SWITCH AND IT CAUSES THE PROBLEM. THE OTHER THING IS WHEN IT GETS COLD OUT, I CAN'T LOCK THE DOORS. IF I DO IN 5 TO 15 MINUTES THE LIGHTS START FLASHING AND THE HORN STARTS HONKING, UNTIL I UNLOCK THE DOORS. THIS HAPPENED LAST YEAR WHEN IT GOT COLD ALSO. WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT, IT WAS NOT DOING THIS, SO THEY SAID JUST SEE WHAT HAPPENS. NOW IT IS COLD AND IT IS ACTING UP AGAIN. I WORK AT A PRISON AND NEED TO LOCK MY VEHICLE. I CAN'T DRIVE IT TO WORK AT ALL RIGHT NOW.

TODAY AND SIX DAYS AGO I PARKED MY JEEP, TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND REMOVED MY KEY. I WENT TO START MY CAR ABOUT ONE HOUR LATER AND THERE WERE NO DISPLAY LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND THE SHIFT LEVER COULD NOT BE MOVED. I THOUGHT I MIGHT HAVE A DEAD BATTERY. A FRIEND STOPPED BY MY CAR. HE TRIED TO START THE CAR WITH MY KEY. NO ELECTRICAL POWER OR LIGHTS WERE PRESENT. HE OPENED THE HOOD AND SAID EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE. HE CLOSED THE HOOD HARD. HE PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND MOVED IT AROUND. THE DISPLAY LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE CAR STARTED. I HAD THE BATTERY CHECKED AND IT WAS FINE. I PUT A NEW BATTERY IN THE CAR LESS THAN ONE YEAR AGO. THE SAME THING HAPPENED TODAY WHILE I WAS AT THE POST OFFICE. IS THIS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM OR A BAD IGNITION? A NEIGHBOR SAID HE HEARD SOMETHING ABOUT AN IGNITION PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER.

ELECTRICAL ICONS CONTINUE TO APPEAR ON DASHBOARD LIKE TRACTION, ABS,SERVICE ENGINE SOON,GAUGE FOR RPM IS 0 MP, ENGINE GAUGE REMAIN AT ENGINE SPEED. WHEN TAKEN TO JEEP DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE JEEP IT IS RUNNING CORRECTLY. AND YET THE JEEP CUT COMPLETELY DOWN FOR 10 MINS ON THE EXPRESSWAY. WHEN ON THE STREET ALL ICONS COME ON AND I HAVE TO PULL OVER BECAUSE JEEP HAS SHUT DOWN.

SO YESTERDAY AFTER WORK I GET IN MY CAR AND START IT, AND I NOTICED MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I FIGURED MAYBE THE SENSOR WAS TRIGGERED BY THE HOT WEATHER BUT THAT STILL DIDN'T MAKE SENSE. SO I LOOK UP WHAT I SHOULD DO IN THE MANUAL AND IT SAYS TAKE IT TO THE DEALER (THEY WERE CLOSED). THE NEXT DAY, I THOUGHT SURELY THE CODE WOULD CLEAR AND ALL WOULD BE WELL. TO MY SURPRISE MY LIGHT WAS STILL ON. I TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET CHECKED OUT (MIND YOU, I HAVE 2 WARRANTIES ON THIS CAR) AND I JUST KNOW IT WILL BE COVERED. WRONG! I WAS SHOCKED AND DISMAYED TO FIND OUT THAT MY AIRBAG HAS 2 PROBLEMS, THE SEAT BELT SENSOR HAS BLOWN OUT AND THE THE AIRBAG MODULE IS BLOWN OUT (MEANING IT WILL NOT DEPLOY IF I GET IN AN ACCIDENT). ON TOP OF ALL THIS, NEITHER OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE COVERED BY MY $4,000 WARRANTY AND WILL COST ME $910 BEFORE TAXES. SERIOUSLY??? I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY A DIME EXTRA FOR WHAT I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION OF ALREADY PURCHASING: A SAFE VEHICLE. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SOON. SOMEONE COULD DIE.

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM THE GROCERY STORE, THE DOME LIGHTS AND GATE OPEN WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. SINCE IT WAS AFTER DARK, THE LIGHT FROM THE DOME LIGHT WAS BLINDING AND MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND CHECKED THE TAILGATE. THE TAILGATE AND WINDOW WERE BOTH FIRMLY LATCHED. WHEN STARTING TO DRIVE AGAIN, IT WENT OUT BUT ALMOST IMMEDIATELY CAME BACK ON. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABOUT A MILE FROM HOME AND MADE IT HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. THIS SHOULD BE REPORTED TO THE NHTSA AS A POTENTIAL CRASH PROBLEM AS THE BRIGHT LIGHT SUDDENLY COMING ON COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I KNOW THERE ARE SOME OTHER ELECTRICAL RECALLS FOR THIS MODEL AND YEAR JEEP AND THIS SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE LIST. *TR

AFTER STOPPING AT A REST AREA ON TRIP FROM LUCAS OHIO TO CINCCINNATI UPON LEAVING FOUND HEAD LIGHTS NOT WORKING. AFTER APPROX. 1/2 HOUR LIGHTS CAME ON SO PLACED ON AUTO AND THEY WORK NOW, BUT NOW NOTICED WHILE DRIVING AND IT STARTS RAINING WIPERS DON'T WORK ALL THE TIME ALSO WHEN THIS HAPPENS THERE'S NO HORN, TURN SIGNALS,OR WIPERS SO WE ARE STARTING TO WORRY ABOUT BEING ON HIGHWAY AND STARTS RAINING WIPERS WONT WORK AND HAVE NEEDED HORN SEVERAL TIMES AND IT DON'T WORK. WE HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN THE DIGITAL COMPASS ON DASH IS OFF THAT THE FOLLOWING DON'T WORK, INCLUDING HEADLIGHT SWITCH,WIPERS,HORN, TURNSIGNALS,CRUISE CONTROL,STEERING WHEEL RADIO CONTROLS, SEEMS ALL PROBLEMS ARE CENTERED AROUND THE COMPASS ON DASH GOING OFF AND ALL STEERING WHEEL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS! *TR

I TRIED TO START MY CAR AND, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE RADIO AND LIGHTS COMING ON, NOTHING HAPPENED. AFTER TOWING IT TO A COUPLE LOCATIONS, THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THAT THE CAR--LIKE SO MANY OTHER JEEPS--HAD A FAULTY TIPM. I FOUND THIS WEBSITE AFTER A BRIEF SEARCH ON THE INTERNET LANDED ME ON THIS LINK: HTTP://WWW.CHRYSLERPROBLEMS.COM/PROBLEMS/DEFECTIVE-TIPM.SHTML I BELIEVE THAT THIS PART SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND I SHOULD NOT BE ON THE HOOK FOR THE REPAIR COST. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP LIBERTY. WHENEVER THE HORN WAS ENGAGED, THERE WAS A DELAYED RESPONSE. THE HORN PAD, LOCATED IN THE CENTER OF THE STEERING WHEEL, REQUIRED REPEATED ATTEMPTS IN ORDER TO ACTIVATE BECAUSE IT DID NOT ALLOW THE DRIVER TO PRESS ANYWHERE TO SOUND THE HORN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5.

WELL, UPON BUYING THE VEHICLE THE DEFECTS THAT CULMINATED ARE LEFT BLINKER HOUSING, HAD WATER CONDENSATION, COOLANT LEAKAGE ONTO ENGINE, WATER PUMP REPLACED, TENSIONER, LIFTER REPLACED, THESE AREAS I NOTICED A CHAIN LIKE RATTLE AND STILL TO THIS DAY WHEN VEHICLE IS COLD OR SOMETIMES STARTED UP, WILL MAKE A CHAIN LIKE RATTLE.REAR SHOCKS WERE LEAKING AND REPLACED. SOMETIMES ENGINE STALLS AT IDLE AT RED LIGHTS, BUT QUICKLY IDLES BEYOND 1000 RPMS, UPON ACCELERATION. EXHAUST PIPE READJUSTED, THIS WAS NOTICED BY MECHANIC. SEVERAL OTHER PROBLEMS ARE OCCURING, WHILE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TURNED OFF, MYSELF AND FAMILY NOTICES A SOUND COMING FROM THE DASH, AS IF C.D. IS SPINING IN DISC CHANGER WHILE VEHICLE TURNED OFF.

BLOWER MOTOR FAILED MAY 2012. THE CAR WAS SO NEW THAT THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO ORDER THE PART. IT WAS REPLACED AND THE HEAT WORKS BUT THERE ARE A COUPLE WEIRD NOISES. ONE, IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS TAXING MY ALTERNATOR LIKE YOU WOULD NORMALLY HEAR IF THERE WAS AN AMPLIFIER INSTALLED IN THE CAR. AND TWO, ON THE DASH/FEET LOW SETTING IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE IS PAPER BLOWING IN THE WIND AND HEAT DOES NOT ACTUALLY COME OUT ON THE DRIVER SIDE FEET UNTIL THE CAR IS COMPLETELY WARMED UP. THE DEALERSHIP KINDLY REPLACED A DOOR RUN CHANNEL, NO CHARGE, WHICH ELIMINATED SOME NOISE AND A SLIGHT DRAFT COMING FROM THE DOOR. THE REST OF THE OVERALL NOISE WAS YET TO BE DETERMINED AT THIS POINT. *TR
