TAKATA RECALL LOWER CONTROL ARM BROKE BALL JOINT. ENHANCED CORROSION, 150K MILES CAR WAS IN REVERSE AT A GAS STATION AND THE CAR SHIFTED DOWNWARDS NO WARNING.
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. RUNNING ROUGH NOT IDLING CORRECTLY. THERE IS NO POWER ON ACCELERATION, VIBRATES AND SMOKES. I TOOK IT TO TIRES PLUS 1ST TIME, COST ME $800 FOR DIAGNOSIS, COMPRESSION TESTS AND REPAIRS THEY SAY NEEDED TO BE DONE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. ABOUT A MONTH LATER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. TOOK JEEP BACK AND WAS TOLD THIS TIME THAT THE VALUE(S) ARE NOT SEATING. TOLD TO TAKE IT TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER DUE TO A SAFETY ISSUE. I RESEARCHED ON WEBSITES AND FOUND THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR 2004 - 2011 JEEP LIBERTY AS WELL AS DODGES. WHY HAVE THEY NOT ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS? THE ROCKER ARMS ARE POPPING OUT AND CAUSING HAVOC IN THE ENGINE. DEALER SAYS NO RECALL. CHRYSLER YOU KNOW YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WHY NOT FIX IT!! THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE!!
JEEP TIPM FAULTY, DOOR LOCKS DO NOT WORK
I DROVE FOR ABOUT AN HOUR ON A STEEP MOUNTAIN ROAD. SOMETIMES USING THE OVERDRIVE TO GO UP STEEP GRADES. THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT WORK. I MADE IT TO TOWN AND WAS ON THE MAIN ROAD STOPPED IN TRAFFIC. SUDDENLY, THE RPMS RACED AND THE JEEP ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, BUT HAD TO PUT IT IN PARK TO STOP IT, BUT NOT BEFORE IT HIT THEN TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS SHAKEN UP AND CHECKED THE FLOOR MAT TO MAKE SURE IT WAS NOT TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL. IT WAS NOT.
BROKEN RIGHT REAR CONTROL ARM. ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT,ALSO BROKE UNIVERSAL JOINT. NOW THAT I FIXED THOSE ISSUES , STEERING ON THE FRONT NOW IS GOING OUT
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, ROUGH IDLE, NO POWER ON ACCELERATION, VIBRATES, BURNS GAS, SMOKES.. HAD A COMPRESSION TEST DONE AND AT THE 3RD CYLINDER HAS A COMPRESSION OF 65.. DID SOME RESEARCH ON THIS AFTER WASTING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS AND IT NEEDS NEW VALVES AND ROCKER ARM. UPON DOING RESEARCH I FOUND PUT THAT JEEPS FROM THE YEAR 2001 ON UP TO 2012 ARE KNOWN FOR THIS PROBLEM! WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED? THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE NOT TO MENTION VERY COSTLY!!
ALL BUT ONE OF MY WINDOWS WILL ROLL UP OR DOWN BECAUSE OF THE WINDOW REGULATOR. THERE ARE RECALLS ON OTHER YEARS BUT NOT 2004 DUE TO MANY COMPLIMENTS.THEY SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THIS AND FIX THE ISSUE. THANK YOU.
AS THE DRIVER WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN INTO THE CLOSEST LEFT TURNING LANE AND ACCELERATED AT APPROXIMATELY 15MPH, THE VEHICLE FISHTAILED AND SWERVED AS THE DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE. THERE WERE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT THE TURN HOWEVER THE VEHICLE WAS UNRESPONSIVE AND CONTINUED TO SWERVE. THE DRIVER HAD NO CONTROL OF THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE, ALMOST AS IF SOMETHING HAD COME UNDONE. THERE WAS A COLLISION WITH A TREE AND A STREET SIGN DUE TO GREAT AMOUNTS OF SWERVING THAT RESULTED IN THE CAR RUNNING OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.
WHILE DRIVING, THE GEAR SHIFT SLIPS OUT OF GEAR WITHOUT THE CLUTCH BEING USED. THIS IS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND AT 155,000 MILES, THIS IS LOW MILEAGE IN MY CONSIDERATION FOR THIS TO BE HAPPENING. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR MYSELF OR ANY OTHER CARS AROUND.

WHILE DRIVING, IT WOULD FEEL AS IF THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WAS GOING SIDE TO SIDE. WHEN ACCELERATING, THE CAR WOULD FEEL AS IF IT WAS TORQUING IN ONE DIRECTION AND THEN WHEN I WOULD BRAKE IT WOULD FEEL AS IF IT WOULD PULL THE OTHER DIRECTION. I HAD NOTICED THIS FEELING FOR A WHILE BUT IT WAS WORSE ON WET OR SNOWY ROADS AND ALSO WHILE GOING AT HIGHER RATES OF SPEED (OVER 50 MPH). I WAS UNABLE TO DETECT WHAT EXACTLY WAS HAPPENING BECAUSE IT HAD DEVELOPED SO GRADUALLY AND I REGULARLY DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. I THOUGHT WHEN I WAS DRIVING IT WAS EITHER WINDY OR THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SLIDING DUE TO WET ROADS. THIS CAUSED AN ISSUE WHEN DRIVING IN THE WINTER AND CAUSED ME TO HIT A GUARDRAIL. I WAS DRIVING MY DAUGHTER BACK TO COLLEGE. WHILE ACCELERATING, THE CAR LUNGED TO THE LEFT, I THEN THOUGHT I WAS SLIDING AND PROCEEDED TO PUMP THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN WHICH THEN CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO PULL TO THE RIGHT, SLAMMING THE VEHICLE INTO THE GUARDRAIL. ABOUT 8 MONTHS AFTER THE ACCIDENT, MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHEN HE NOTICED THIS PULLING AND WAS ABLE TO DESCRIBE IT. I TOOK IT IN AND BOTH REAR CONTROL ARMS HAD TO BE REPLACED.

DRIVING UNDER 10 MPH LIGHTLY APPLIED BREAKS VEHICLE WENT INTO A SPIN. THIS HAS OCCURRED THREE TIMES NOW OVER THE LAST THREE WEEKS. LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO AVOID ACCIDENTS EACH TIME. FIRST TWO OCCURRENCES WERE EXPERIENCED BY MY DAUGHTER. I TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR A TEST DRIVE TO DETERMINE CAUSE/ISSUE AND FOUND THAT THE VEHICLE IS DANGEROUSLY DEFECTIVE WHEN BREAKING A LOW SPEEDS.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
