My heater takes 45-60 mins to heat up my car, and it doesn’t blow full force when it’s on the highest setting. On cold days I literally have to start my car up 45 before I need to leave just to have a slight warmth inside. Once I’m moving, it barely blows any heat through the vents. The highest setting feels like it’s on the lowest setting.

VEHICLE IS ATTRACTIVE AND FUNCTIONAL. AIR BAGS PROBABLY SAVED THE WIFE'S LIFE IN A T BONE ACCIDENT. THE AIR CONDITIONER AND HEATER WORK GREAT. THERE IS TOO MUCH PLASTIC...EVERYWHERE! SEATS ARE UNCOMFORTABLE ON LONG TRIPS. WATER PUMP LOCKED UP WITH JUST OVER 50K MILES. TRANSMISSION IS SELF DESTRUCTING AT 62K MILES THIS MONTH. IT SEEMS THE TRANSMISSION HAS NO DIP STICK FOR THE OWNER TO CHECK THE FLUID. IF IT DID THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM COULD HAVE BEEN NOTICED SOONER. NOW WE MUST PAY FOR A TRANSMISSION AND LABOR BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY, $4K! THE VEHICLE GETS REGULAR USE IN COUNTY, CITY AND HIGHWAY TRIPS. ON NICE PAVED TEXAS ROADS. IT IS WELL MAINTAINED AND ONLY DRIVEN BY TWO ADULTS, AGE 72.I BELIEVE THERE IS A QUALITY ISSUE WITH THE DRIVETRAIN PARTS. WE HAVE OWNED OTHER JEEPS. THEY HAD THE OLD RELIABLE INLINE 6CYL ENGINE AND THREE SPEED TRANSMISSION. VERY RELIABLE.

I BOUGHT MY JEEP LIBERTY JET IN FEB 2012 BRAND NEW OUT OF THE SHOW ROOM. I AM A MILITARY VET AND WANTED A RELIABLE CAR TO DRIVE IN FOR MY PCS MOVES. I STARTED HAVING VEHICLE SHAKES IN 2013 FOR MY 2012 JEEP LIBERTY JET. IN DECEMBER 2013 I TOOK IT TO MILTON REUBEN CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP FOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL ON IT THAT I WAS UNAWARE OF. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE SHOP FOR OVER A MONTH FOR CYLINDER 3,4,7 MISFIRES. THE HEADS WERE REPLACED. IN AUGUST 2014, NOT EVEN A YEAR AFTER MY VEHICLE WAS IN THE SHOP I HAD TO RETURN FOR SHAKES. MY CHILD WAS IN THE CAR AT THE TIME IT WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I CALLED CHRYSLER, NOT THE DEALERSHIP, TO COMPLAIN OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE AND FOR LONG TERM HELP SOLVING THE ISSUE. THEY BASICALLY SAID I WAS ON MY OWN AND THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T WANT THE VEHICLE AS A TRADE IN BECAUSE OF ITS LENGTHY WRAP SHEET. THEY REPLACED CYLINDER 3 AND 7 AGAIN. I THOUGHT THE WORST WAS OVER UNTIL AUGUST 29, 2015 THE SHAKES CAME BACK. I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY GAVE ME A BILL FOR $1100 FOR CYLINDER 5 MISFIRE. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 80,000 MILES ON A 100,000 MILE WARRANTY. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP EVERY YEAR SINCE WE HAVE HAD IT FOR MAJOR WORK. THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T WANT IT AND CHRYSLER IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FACT THEY BUILT A FAULTY VEHICLE. EVERY 20,000 MILES I AM HAVING ISSUES.
