RIGHT REAR WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED AND WINDOW FELL INTO THE DOOR. AFTER PART WAS REPLACED BY DEALER, SAME WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED 16 MONTHS LATER. THIS WINDOW IS NEXT TO MY 4 YEARS OLD CAR SEAT AND IS NEVER OPENED. FOR ME, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THOUSANDS OF IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS CAN BE FOUND ON VARIOUS SITES. JEEP IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND REFUSES TO FIX IT. *TR

WHILE THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON IN MY 2002 JEEP LIBERTY THEY RANDOMLY FLICKER OFF AND ON. IT'S NOT JUST ONE QUICK CLICK OFF AND ON, BUT IT IS ALWAYS A RANDOM, NUMEROUS PATTERN OF FAST CLICKS OFF AND ON. FURTHERMORE, YOU CAN NOT FORCE THE REPLICATION. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. SOMETIMES A CAR TURNING LEFT IN FRONT OF ME THINKS I'M SIGNALING THEM TO GO AHEAD IN FRONT OF ME. OTHER TIMES AT NIGHT, THE LIGHTS JUST GO OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS AND YOU ARE DRIVING BLIND. *KB

I BOUGHT THE JEEP A YEAR AGO USED, CURRENTLY 140,000 MILES. I AM STILL PAYING ON IT MONTHLY. IT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE AND IS CURRENTLY SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. I AM STILL PAYING ON IT MONTHLY. AFTER TALKING TO A FEW MECHANICS I FOUND OUT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL/YEAR. THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE CONFIRMS IT. I AM PAYING TO EVERY MONTH TO HAVE A BROKENDOWN VEHICLE IN MY DRIVEWAY THAT I CAN'T DRIVE AND CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX. THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE MANUFACTURING OF THE ENGINE WHO IS GOING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2002 JEEP LIBERTY AND WAS RAISING THE WINDOWS UP AND THE WINDOW OF THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE FELL INTO THE DOOR. THESE ARE ELECTRONIC WINDOWS. I WAS LUCKY THAT NONE OF MY CHILDREN WERE HURT. LUCKILY, THE WINDOW DID NOT BREAK AND I WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED IN MY CAR. I FEEL THERE IS A FAULTY PART THAT JEEP DOES NOT WANT TO ADDRESS. IT IS A PLASTIC PART IN THE WINDOW REGULATOR. IT COST ME $400 DOLLARS THE FIRST TIME TO REPLACE THE PART. THE SECOND ONE JEEP REPLACED FOR FREE. I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE AND JEEP DOES NOT FEEL RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING IT AGAIN. I AM NOT SURE IF I WANT TO GET IT REPLACED AGAIN OR JUST FINE SOME WAY TO KEEP THE WINDOW UP. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO REPLACE IT WITH A PART THAT WILL JUST BREAK AGAIN. *TT

2002 JEEP LIBERTY. BOUGHT NEW. ONE OWNER. AT APPROX 70,000 MILES HEADLIGHTS BEGAN TURNING OFF AND ON BY THEMSELVES AT RANDOM - NO PATTERN WHATSOEVER. MAY DO IT SEVERAL TIMES DAILY FOR A WEEK AND THEN NOT AT ALL FOR A MONTH. VERY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT DUE TO SUDDENLY YOU ARE DRIVING IN THE DARK AND ALSO OTHER DRIVERS (OR EVEN WORSE POLICE OFFICERS) THINK YOU ARE FLASHING YOUR LIGHTS AT THEM. NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE, FIND, OR FIX THIS PROBLEM. NOW AT 81,000 MILES AND HAVE TO TRY AND DRIVE MOSTLY DURING THE DAY - VERY INCONVENIENT AND NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM SO THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AND THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP. *TR

REAR BACK PASSENGER WINDOW WAS FIXED(REGULATOR) 2 YRS. AGO.NOW SAME PROBLEM HAS RECURRED, I CALLED THE JEEP RECALL NUMBER AND THEY TELL ME THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THE 2002 JEEP LIBERTY, I THINK THAT IS NEGLIGENCE ON THEIR PART AS A AUTO COMPANY NOT RESPECTING THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM, I AM 1 OUT OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. WITH THE WINDOW GOING DOWN AT ANY GIVEN TIME IT POSES A PROBLEM FOR THE GLASS TO SHATTER CREATING A PROBLEM FOR WHOMEVER IS IN THE BACK SEAT. I AM VERY UPSET THAT THE DEALERSHIP WON'T ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM, I NEED THEM TO UNDERSTAND IT IS A MECHANICAL FAULT OF THEIRS. *TR

COOLANT WAS FOUND IN THE CYLINDER AND MAYBE THE HEAD GASKET NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WHEN THE HEAD WAS REMOVED THE GASKET WAS OK BUT IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE (LONG BLOCK) NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE FOUND OTHER OWNERS ONLINE WHO HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE 2002 AND 2003 JEEP LIBERTY'S. I AM OVER THE 7 YEAR 70,000 MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. CAR WAS ALWAYS MAINTAINED AND REGULAR OIL CHANGES WERE PERFORMED. NO OFF-ROADING OR TOWING DONE WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

I HAVE CONTACTED JEEP ABOUT THE NOISE PROBLEM BEFORE AFTER HAVING A RECALL NOTICE WORKED ON AND SAID IT SOUNDED LIKE A PIECE OF JUNK AFTER BEING WORKED ON AND SOMETHING WAS GRINDING. THEY TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG. WELL, OBVIOUSLY THERE WAS BECAUSE NOW IT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE AT 157,000 MILES!!!! I HAD THE OIL CHANGED REGULARLY ALSO. IT IS NOW PARKED IN OUR DRIVE NEEDING A NEW ENGINE!!!!! WE HAVE BEEN DODGE AND JEEP BUYERS ALL OUR LIVES BUT NOW WE WENT AND BOUGHT A KIA!!

ACTUALLY THE CAR WAS IN THE DATE RANGE (MAY 1 WAS START OF MANUFACTURE - MINE WAS MAY 2) THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

JEEP CONSTANTLY REFUSES TO PAY FOR ISSUES THAT ARE TURNING OUT TO BE EXCESSIVE REPAIRS FOR MANY OWNERS.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2002 JEEP LIBERTY AT AN ESTIMATED 45-50 MPH, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STALLED AND THEN SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE ENGINE ROARED AS IF ACCELERATING AND RPMS FLUCTUATED FROM HIGH TO LOW WITHOUT INCREASING ACTUAL VEHICLE SPEED AND LOST CONTROL OF STEERING AND COASTED UNTIL CAR STOPPED. THE DASHBOARD LIT UP FOR BATTERY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND OIL AND ALL OTHER POWER STAYED ON, INCLUDING RADIO AND HEADLIGHTS AND EMERGENCY LIGHTS. WHEN CAR CAME TO A STOP, I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED IT. DASHBOARD INDICATORS TURNED OFF AND CAR STARTED NORMALLY TO ONLY REPEAT THE SAME ENGINE STALL LESS THAN A MILE AWAY AT A SLOWER SPEED. CAR THEN REQUIRED SEVERAL MORE ATTEMPTS TO START ENGINE. AT THIS TIME, THE CAR HAD A 1/2 TANK OF GAS. THE NEXT DAY I CHANGED ALL FLUIDS INCLUDING OIL, ANTIFREEZE, COOLANT AND ADDED A FUEL INJECTION CLEANER AND FILLED CAR TO A FULL TANK AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE BACK HOME WITHOUT ISSUE.

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS, BUT THE CAR WAS OBVIOUSLY UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN. WHEN I GOT OUT, MY PASSENGER SIDE FRONT TIRE WAS AT ANGLES TO THE CAR. THE UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS GAVE OUT AND ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC, THE BRAKE LINE WAS BASICALLY THE ONLY THING HOLDING THE TIRE ON. I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS ANYTHING UNUSUAL GOING ON UP TO THIS POINT, AS ANY SMALL STEERING ISSUES I HAD WERE MOSTLY WHEN THE CAR HAD JUST BEEN STARTED, SO WERE ATTRIBUTED TO COLD AND ICE. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER WAITING TO BE FIXED, SO THE OLD PARTS SHOULD BE AVAILABLE. *TR
