WHEN MAKING A RIGHT TURN STEEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND ENGINE SHUTS DOWN. DEALER NOTIFIED, AND SAID SPEED SENSOR NEEDS REPLACING. TS. *AK

WHILE TRAVELING AT 75 MPH CONSUMER STATES THE PANEL UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL FELL ONTO THE DRIVERS FEET. CONSUMER STATES TOOK TO DEALER AND DEALER STATED THE KNEE BOLSTER PACKING PLATE FELL OFF. CAUSE IS UNKNOWN. TS

I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE TWO DAYS AFTER PURCHASE IN THE RAIN WHILE TRYING TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN. THE VEHICLE WENT STRAIGHT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION, UP AND OVER THE CURB AND INTO SOMEONES FRONT YARD. REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP. TWO MONTHS LATER I HAD MY SECOND EXPERIENCE THAT ALSO HAPPENED IN THE RAIN. I WAS TRYING TO COME TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN AND COULD NOT STOP THE CAR. AT THIS TIME I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING FOUND. THE SERVICE DIRECTOR AT THE TIME REFERRED TO IT AS OPERATOR ERROR AND THOUGHT THAT I WOULD GET USED TO THE VEHICLE. THEN SEVEN MONTHS LATER ON JANUARY 1, 2003, I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE ON THE BELTWAY TRYING TO AVOID SOMETHING IN THE ROAD. IT WAS RAINING. I WAS GOING THE SPEED LIMIT (55 MPH) AND MY CAR STARTED TO SPIN AND ENDED UP GOING SOUTHBOUND IN THE NORTHBOUND LANES AND FINALLY CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE DIVIDING WALL. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I FEEL VERY FORTUNATE TO BE ALIVE AND THAT NO ONE ELSE WAS HURT. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT IS CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR POSSIBLE DEFECTS. I FEEL THAT I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE HAS A TENDENCY TO PULL TO THE RIGHT.

THE CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 35MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND ANOTHER VEHICLE HIT HIM FROM BEHIND. THE DUAL AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY AT ALL. PLEASE FILL IN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION DEALER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. TS

DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY DURING FRONTAL OFF-SET COLLISION, ONLY PASS. SIDE DID. FAULTS WERE FOUND IN DRIVER SIDE SEATBELT TENSIONER AND OPEN CIRCUIT FAULTS ALSO FOUND. CHRYSLER IS NOT COOPERATING WITH OUR SAFETY FAILURE AND IS MAINTAINING THAT ONLY 1 AIRBAG WAS SUPPOSED TO DEPLOY, THIS WAS STATED IN A LETTER WHICH ALSO DENIED THE FAULTS THAT HAD BEEN ALREADY FOUND. CHRYSLER WILL NOT RETURN OUR PHONE CALLS AT THIS TIME AND THE LETTER SOUNDS LIKE A COVER-UP. THE ONLY ASSISTANCE WE ARE RECEIVING ABOUT THIS MAJOR SAFETY DEFECT HAS BEEN FROM OUR DEALERSHIP WHO IS ALSO TRYING TO CONTACT THE CHRYSLER REP FOR US.

VEHICLES AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED, THEN REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION HAD A LEAKY FACTORY SEAL AND AGAIN HAD TO BE FIXED. VEHICLE PULLS TO RIGHT AS ALL OTHER LIBERTYS DO AND NOW WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED, THE RIGHT FRONT MARKER LIGHT COMES ON. DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS UHAULS FAULT UHAUL SAYS IT IS CHRYSLERS FAULT. VEHICLE IS A TOTAL DISSAPPOINTMENT!!

PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2002 JEEP LIBERTY IN MARCH, 2002. AT 8K, WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH, REAR END BEGAN FISHTAILING CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS OCCURED ON DEC. 16TH, 2002. WE STILL DO NOT HAVE THE VEHICLE. A REPRESENTATIVE FROM JEEP INSPECTED VEHICLE AND STATED THAT "REAR AXLE WAS NEVER PROPERLY WELDED TO VEHICLE." THIS OCCURED ON THE ASSEMBLY LINE AT THE FACTORY. WE DO NOT FEEL VEHICLE IS SAFE AT THIS POINT.THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY IS SERIOUS COMPROMISED. WE'RE CONCERNED OTHER 2002 JEEP LIBERTY'S MAY HAVE THIS PROBLEM.

DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY HOWEVER THE PASSENGERSIDE DID. COLLISION OCCURED ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE CAUSING ABOUT $9500 IN DAMAGE. SCAN TEST COMPLETED AND THE INVESTIGATOR FOR CHRYSLER FOUND 3 FAULTS IN THE SQUIB 1 AND SQUIB 2 MODULES, ALSO SAID THAT THE SEATBELT TENSIONER SENSOR CREATED A FAULT WHICH TO THE COMPUTER NOT TO DEPLOY THE BAG. THE BELT WAS FASTENED AT TIME OF CRASH.

CONSUMER STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AND WITHOUT WARNING THE FUEL TANK CRACK CAUSING FLUID TO LEAK OUT. DEALER NOTIFIED. TS

CONSUMER STATED THAT WHEN THEY WAS HIT AT 40MPH IN THE FRONT CENTER OF THE VEHICLE THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY CAUSING MINOR INJURIES TO THE CONSUMER. *TS

MY WIFE LOST CONTROL OF OUR 2002 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED EDITION WHILE DRIVING IN A DOWNPOUR IN THE LATE AFTERNOON ON 12/19/02. SHE CROSSED THE MEDIAN COLLIDING WITH A CAR AND A TRUCK AND CONTINUED INTO A MUDDY FIELD WHERE THE VEHICLE FINALLY CAME TO A STOP. THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY EITHER DURING OR AFTER THE CRASH, HOWEVER, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED DURING THE CRASH EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO PASSENGER IN THAT SEAT. THIS ACCIDENT IS, I BELIEVE, A DRIVER SIDE FRONTAL OFFSET COLLISION TYPE. DEALER CONTACTED INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATOR FOR CHRYSLER WHO OBTAINED CODES FROM THE ON-BOARD COMPUTER TRYING TO FIND OUT WHY THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG FAILED. WE HAVE NO RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION AS YET. LUCKILY, MY WIFE DID HAVE HER SEAT BELT FASTENED OR HER INJURIES WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. SHE DOES HAVE BRUISING AND SORENESS AND BACKPAIN AND ALSO HAS NO MEMORY OF ACTUAL CRASH. NUMEROUS MEDICAL TESTS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED WHILE SHE WAS A PATIENT IN THE HOSPITAL AND AFTER HER RELEASE BUT NO MAJOR HEALTH PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED AS YET.

JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED PULLS TO THE RIGHT WHILE DRIVING ANY SPEED, ANY ROAD CONDITIONS. TS

WHEN DRIVING ALONG AT 48 TO 55 MPH, I CAN HEAR AND FEEL A BEARING TYPE VIBRATION NOISE COMING FROM THE MIDDLE OR FRONT DRIVE TRAIN.

HANDLING ERATIC AT SPEEDS OVER 45 MPH, VEHICLE WANDERS ACROSS THE ROAD, FISH TAILS. LOOSE CONTROL WHEN CHANGING LANES. STOCK TIRES ARE VERY THIN. HANDLING WOULD PROBABLY IMPROVE WITH WIDER TIRES. AT MY OFFICE WE DRIVE A FLEET OF THE JEEPS, NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. DT

WHEN VEHICLE GOES BETWEEN 50 AND 53MPH THE CAR WILL BEGIN TO DRAMATICALLY VIBRATE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT (NORWALK, CT) AND THEY TOLD ME TIRES WERE OUT OF WHACK & THEY REBALANCED TIRES & SAID IT WAS FIXED. OBVIOUSLY THEY DID NOT TEST DRIVE B/C PROBLEM STILL EXISTED. TOOK CAR TO PAMBY IN RIDGEFIELD,CT AND ONE OF THE OWNERS TEST DROVE IT AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. BROUGHT CAR BACK TO THEM ABOUT 1 MONTH LATER AND 2 MECHANICS SAID YES, CAR DOES VIBRATE AT 50MPH. THEY TOOK OUT DRIVE SHAFT AND PUT ANOTHER ONE IN FROM ANOTHER LIBERTY SPORT & SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED. THEY THEN TOOK OUT DRIVE SHAFT AND GAVE ME MY OLD ONE BACK. SERVICE WRITER SAID HE WOULD CONTACT CHRYSLER AND GET BACK TO ME WITH INFO. AFTER 3 WEEKS AND NO CALL I WENT INTO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER HAD NOT CALLED THE SERVICE DEPT. BACK YET. IT HAS NOW BEEN 6 WEEKS AND STILL NO ANSWER FROM DEALERSHIP OR CHRYSLER!! I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN GOOD FAITH THAT IT WOULD BE A SAFE AND DEPENDABLE VEHICLE! VEHICLE ALSO NOW DOES VIBRATING AT 70MPH. STILL CURIOUS AS TO WHEN CHRYSLER WILL RECALL THIS AND FIX IT CORRECTLY! DT

JACK DOES NOT EXTEND TO HEIGHT NECESSARY TO RAISE FLAT TIRE OFF GROUND OR ALLOW REPLACEMENT SPARE TIRE TO BE INSTALLED. ON FIRST OCCASION, I HAD TO OBTAIN A 2X4 PIECE OF WOOD TO RAISE VEHICLE TO PROPER HEIGHT IN MY GARAGE, BUT WAS FEARFUL OF STABILITY OF AUTO. ON SECOND OCCASION AFTER CHURCH ON 8-25-02, I EXTENDED JACK TO FULL HEIGHT, COULD NOT REMOVE FLAT, WENT FOR SOMETHING TO RAISE IT HIGHER THEN JACK WOULD NOT RETRACT. HAD TO BORROW A SCISSOR JACK FROM A PASSING MOTORIST. THE JACK WOULD BE COMPLETELY USELESS IN ANY ADVERSE ROAD SURFACE. NEED TO REQUIRE A MORE SUBSTANTIAL JACK THAT WOULD BE SUITABLE FOR RAISING VEHICLE WHILE REMAINING STABLE TO AVOID INJURY. I PITY ANY MOM WHO GETS A FLAT WITH A CHILD ON BOARD AND NO CELL PHONE TO CALL FOR HELP!*AK
