2002 Jeep Liberty complaints

2002 JEEP WINDOW REGULATORS CONTINUE TO FAIL AND WINDOWS FALL OPEN. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH. THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND SUDDENLY THE SPEEDOMETER BECAME NONFUNCTIONAL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRICAL WIRES TO THE BLOWER MOTOR OVERHEATED AS A RESULT TO THE WIRING HARNESS. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE LABOR FEE WOULD BE $87 AN HOUR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING AT 4 MPH, THE DRIVER TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE ENTIRE CONTROL UPPER ARM COLLAPSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER BUT NO REPAIRS HAD BEEN MADE AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 57,000.

THE REAR WINDOW OF MY 2002 JEEP LIBERTY JUST FELL WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I COULD NOT GET IT TO STAY UP AND NOW HAVE IT TAPED UP. AFTER DOING SOME INVESTIGATION OF MY OWN THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRENT PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE HAVING REPLACED THE WINDOW REGULATOR MULTIPLE TIMES. SOMETIMES WHEN THE WINDOW FALLS THE CABLE SOMEHOW KEEPS THE REAR DOOR FROM OPENING. THIS COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN. ALSO, WITH THE WINDOW FALLING FOR NO REASON I AM AFRAID IT MAY FALL, BREAK, AND CUT SOMEONE. IT SEEMS THERE IS A PART MADE OUT OF PLASTIC THAT CONTINUES TO BREAK AND IT SHOULD BE FIXED. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET MY VEHICLE FIXED AND HAVE FOUND THAT IT MAY COST BETWEEN $300 AND $500 AND THEN MAY BREAK AGAIN. I AM A LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT THAT.*DT

NO WARNING OF THE FAILURE. VALVE SPRING BROKE DUE TO NON CLEARANCE IN THE VALVE GUIDE CAUSING THE VALVE TO HANG AND GET SMACKED BY THE PISTON CAUSING SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. NEEDS ENGINE REPLACED AT A COST OF $5 THOUSAND DOLLARS. *TR

ENGINE HAD ALMOST 150,000 MILES. PARKED VEHICLE AND TURNED OFF. WHEN I TRIED TO START VEHICLE IT SHOOK AND RAN VERY ROUGH ONLY IF I HAD MY FOOT SLIGHTLY ON THE GAS PEDAL. MECHANIC SAID THAT THE RING THAT HOLDS THE VALVE COVER CAME OFF AND WENT INSIDE THE CYLINDER AND IT COULDN'T FIRE CORRECTLY. I NEEDED THE ENGINE REBUILT AT A COST OF OVER $4000. *TR

PROPELLER SHAFT BEARING WAS EXPOSED CAUSING GRINDING/RATTLING NOISE AND POSSIBLE FAILURE. WHILE DRIVING I HEARD A LOUD CLICK AND RATTLING NOISE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT HE COULD SEE THE BEARING EXPOSED FOR THE PROPELLER SHAFT AND THAT IT NEEDED REPLACEMENT. *TR

I HAD A FRONT END IMPACT WITH A GUARD RAIL IN MY 2002 JEEP LIBERTY AT A SPEED BETWEEN 50 AND 60 MPH BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO AN ALMOST INSTANT STOP. THE AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. I WAS SLAMMED AGAINST THE DASHBOARD INJURING MY KNEES AND MY WIFE IS RECEIVING CONTINUING MEDICAL TREATMENT FOR THE NECK AND BACK INJURIES SHE SUSTAINED. I CONTACTED JEEP IN DECEMBER 2009 ABOUT THE ISSUE, A SPOKESPERSON FOR JEEP CALLED ME BACK AND TOLD ME THAT, "IF THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T GO OFF THEN THEY MUST NOT HAVE NEEDED TO." *TR

IT WAS EXPLAINED TO ME BY THE MECHANIC THAT A VALVE SLIPPED OUT OF THE HEAD CYLINDER. WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY THE CAR JUST SHUT-OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST HIT ME. I HAD TO CALL A RELATIVE TO PUSH THE CAR HOME. THE MECHANIC EXPLAINED, AFTER THEY TOOK APART THE ENGINE THAT A VALVE SLIPPED OUT OF THE CYLINDER HEAD AND GOT INTO THE ENGINE, WHICH CAUSE THE ENGINE TO FAIL. I HAVE A WARRANTY BUT NOT A FACTORY WARRANTY SO THEY DON'T WANT TO COVER IT. AND I STILL HAVE TO MAKE PAYMENTS! *TR

MY BOYFRIEND AND I WERE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 45-50 MPH WHEN THE FRONT OF MY 2002 JEEP LIBERTY STRUCK THE FRONT WHEEL OF ANOTHER DRIVERS VEHICLE AS THEY PULLED OUT AND NEGLECTED TO YIELD THE RIGHT OF WAY. THERE WAS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES WHICH NEEDED TO BE TOWED AWAY. WE WENT TO THE HOSPITAL WITH WHIPLASH, KNEE, CHEST, SHOULDER, AND BACK INJURIES. THE OTHER DRIVER WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL IN AN AMBULANCE. MANY PEOPLE WERE CURIOUS AS TO WHY OUR AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I THINK IF THEY HAD DEPLOYED IT MAY HAVE PREVENTED SOME OF THE INJURIES THAT WERE CAUSED DO TO THIS ACCIDENT. *TR

2002 JEEP LIBERTY WILL NOT START WHEN TURNING KEY IN IGNITION. FROM WHAT I'VE READ ONLINE, THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. I'M TRYING TO FIND A PLACE TO REPAIR; FIRST SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THAT THEY CANNOT DO IT BECAUSE A DEALERSHIP WILL NEED TO REPROGRAM THE KEY TO THE MECHANICS OF THE STEERING COLUMN. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING SEVERAL TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK. VERY PROBLEMATIC SINCE WE LIVE IN OHIO AND HAVE A 15 MONTH OLD. CANNOT AFFORD TO BE STRANDED WITH A TODDLER IN FRIGID WEATHER. *TR

THE WIRING IN THE HARNESS CONSTANTLY RUBS AND EVENTUALLY BECOMES COMPROMISED TO THE ELEMENTS, THUS CAUSING A SHORT. I'VE MANAGED TO AVOID ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENT SINCE I EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE MORE THAN ONCE!! JEEP HAS NOT ACKNOWLEDGED THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND CONTINUALLY IGNORES THE POTENTIAL DANGER IN A FAULTY DESIGN. *TR

2002 JEEP LIBERTY UPPER CONTROL ARM BALL JOINT BROKE WHILE BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY. VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AWAITING REPAIRS. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECALLED PER CHRYLSER RECALL F23, BUT NOT FOR THE LATEST CHRYSLER RECALL J17 AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THEY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT RECALL J17. NEED HELP AS J17 SEEMS APPLICABLE IN THIS SITUATION. *TR

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

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

HAVE A HARD TIME RELEASING THE FRONT SEAT BELTS AND WHEN THEY DO RELEASE, THE RELEASE BUTTON STAYS PUSHED DOWN. THERE HAVE BEEN A COUPLE OF TIMES MY HUSBAND HAD TO PUSH TO RELEASE MY SEAT BELT, AS I COULD NOT GET IT TO RELEASE. THANK GOODNESS HE WAS THERE OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN STUCK IN THE CAR. *TR

WE HAVE A JEEP 2002 LIBERTY. IN THE PAST 2 YEARS OUR REAR WINDOWS HAVE MALFUNCTIONED. THE FIRST HAPPENED OVER 2 YEARS AGO ON JUST THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE. JUST THIS YEAR WE HAD BOTH REAR (DRIVER AND PASSENGER) WINDOWS FALL. TO GET THEM FIXED COST $350 A PIECE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE. I WENT TO PRECISION AUTO TUNE TO FIX IT AND WHEN THEY CALLED JEEP FOR THE PART THE PERSON OVER THERE ALREADY KNEW IT WAS A JEEP LIBERTY BEFORE MY MECHANIC EXPLAINED WHAT MODEL IT WAS. MY MECHANIC SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THIS. MY PROBLEM IS THAT WE RARELY USE THOSE BACK WINDOWS AND FOR THEM TO MALFUNCTION LIKE THIS IS REALLY CONCERNING, ESPECIALLY FOR THE ONE WE ALREADY REPAIRED. I HOPE THERE IS SOMETHING YOU ALL CAN FIND BECAUSE THIS IS REALLY EXPENSIVE. *TR

I HAVE A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY AND I AM HAVING CONTINUOUS ISSUES WITH THE WINDOWS. THEY WILL STOP WORKING OR FALL DOWN. AT $400 A POP TO GET THEM FIXED AND READING NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS CHRYSLER NEEDS TO HAVE THESE ON A RECALL LIST. *TR

2002 JEEP LIBERTY HAS HAD TWO FAILURES OF SEAT BELT LATCHES. PASSENGER SEAT LATCH WAS REPLACED AT 80,000 MILES AND DRIVERS SEAT NOW NEED REPLACEMENT AT 96,000 MILES. BOTH LATCHES FAILED IN THE STUCK DOWN POSITION. *TR

WE OWN A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY. A COUP[LE OF WEEKS AGO WHILE TRAVELING THE LITTLE PIECE OF TAIL PIPE FELL OF THE END OF THE EXHAUST PIPE. WE DIDN'T REALIZE THIS HAD HAPPEN UNTIL WE STARTED SMELLING VERY STRONG FUMES OF PLASTIC MELTING. WE GOT OUT AND CHECKED AND FOUND THE PIECE HAD FALLEN OF AND THE HEAT FROM THE EXHAUST HAD MELTED A HOLE THROUGH THE REAR BUMPER. WE HAD TO DRIVE THE REST OF THE WAY WITH ALL OF THE WINDOWS DOWN SO WE DIDN'T GET OVER COME BY THE FUMES. THE WORST PART OF IT ALL IS THE PIPE IS RIGHT BESIDE THE GAS TANK. WE WERE WORRIED THE WHOLE TIME THE HEAT WOULD IGNITE THE GAS. WE HAVE HAD THIS JEEP LIBERTY LESS THAN A YEAR AND WE HAVE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY ON IT. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WE WANT TO KNOW IF THIS CAR HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM. IT IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CONTACT HEARD A LOT OF NOISE IN THE VEHICLE. THROUGH ONLINE RESEARCH, THE DEALER FOUND NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 09V119000, NHTSA ACTION NUMBER EA08008 (SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM). THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, ALTHOUGH THE FAILURES WERE IDENTICAL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 120,000. UPDATED 09/14/09. *LJ UPDATED 09/15/09.*JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT TOOK HER VEHICLE TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRONT SUSPENSION CONTROL ARM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

I OWN A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE WINDOW REGULATOR 4 OR 5 TIMES. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE WINDOW JUST FALLS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT IS SHOCKING AND CAN CAUSE A WRECK. THE WINDOW FALLS ALL THE WAY DOWN INTO THE DOOR AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. YOU MUST REPAIR IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE YOUR VEHICLE IS NOT SECURE- THEFT, RAIN ETC. IF THE WINDOWS ARE DOWN THE THUMP THUMP OF THE REAR TIRES IS EXCRUTIATING TO YOUR EARS. EACH REPAIR COST $350. TO $500. CHRYSLER AND THE DEALERSHIPS ARE FULLY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING. THEY ADMIT THAT THIS IS A BAD DESIGN (A PLASTIC CLIP HOLDS YOUR WINDOW UP) THE PART IS ONLY WARRANTED FOR 12 MONTHS. ON THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS WEBSITE ALONE THERE WERE 93 COMPLAINTS OF THIS HAPPENING. MOST OWNERS ARE JUST LIKE ME AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE REGULATOR MULTIPLE TIMES. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE MADE TO RECALL ANY VEHICLE THAT HAS THIS REGULATOR. NO OTHER PARTS ARE AVAILABLE EXCEPT FOR MOPAR AND THE PART HAS COST ME $137. TO $170. JUST FOR THE PART- NO LABOR. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND OUT OF WARRANTY. NOW BOTH REAR WINDOWS BROKE WITHIN TWO DAYS. I REPAIR AND NEXT YEAR THE SAME THING WILL HAPPEN. I AND ANY OTHER JEEP OWNER IS KEEPING CHRYSLER AND MOPAR IN BUSINESS BY THESE REPAIRS. *TR

MARCH 2008 MY REAR PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED. TODAY, AUGUST 2009, NOW THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW HAD JUST DROPPED. I SEE TONS OF JEEP LIBERTY OWNERS HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM I CALLED CHRYSLER TO COMPLAIN, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NO RECALL AND I AM JUST GOING TO HAVE TO PAY TO REPAIR IT. CHECK ONLINE AT HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM! *TR

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE RIGHT REAR WINDOW ON MY 02 JEEP LIBERTY FELL DOWN. THIS, IN TURN, CAUSED THE REAR DOOR TO 'DEADBOLT' ITSELF. THAT IS, IT WILL ONLY OPEN 3/4 INCH AND THEN THE LATCH CATCHES ON SOMETHING. I'M SUSPECTING A BROKEN WINDOW CABLE MAY BE KEEPING THE LOCK MECHANISM FROM FULLY RELEASING THE DOOR. THIS SUSPECTED DESIGN DEFECT IN THE WINDOW REGULATOR MECHANISM HAS MADE THE RIGHT REAR DOOR UNUSABLE. IF THE WINDOW FELL WHEN PASSENGERS WERE IN THE BACK SEAT, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN TRAPPED IN THE CAR. AS YOU NEED TO OPEN THE DOOR TO TAKE OFF THE INTERIOR DOOR TRIM TO GET TO THE WINDOW REGULATOR MECHANISM, THE 'DEADBOLT' STATE OF THE LOCK IS PREVENTING THE REPAIR TO BE MADE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY. WHENEVER THE VEHICLE IS STARTED, THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT MAKES A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE SPARK PLUGS. THE SPARK PLUGS WERE REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE VALVE SYSTEM. THROUGH RESEARCH, HE HAS FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME FAILURE AND BELIEVES IT TO BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. HE ALSO BELIEVES THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 91,000.
