LIGHTS FLICKER WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT . TEMPORARY LOSS OF SIGHT OF THE ROAD . MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE . I SEE MULITPLE COMPLAINTS WITH NO FIXES , AND NO RECALL. ONLINE SHOWS DIFFERENT MODELS OTHER THAN JEEP LIBERTY WITH THE SAME ISSUE . I AM NOT SURE WHY THEY ARE NOT TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY . SOMEONE COULD DIE GET SERIOUSLY INJURED, ALSO YOU COULD RUN OVER SOMEONE OR ANIMAL WHEN THE BLINDNESS OCCURS IT HAS LAST SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE THE LIGHTS COME BACK ON . TRY TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH COMPLETE BLINDNESS VERY SCARY . THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE AT NIGHT . THE TIME INTERVALS BETWEEN THE FLICKERING VARIES. IF NOTHING IS DONE WHICH I HOPE IS NOT THE CASE IT HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED IN CASE I HAVE AN ACCIDENT DIE OR KILL SOMEONE.

TAKATA RECALL THE DRIVERS SIDE BALL JOINT SHEARED OFF BECAUSE IT CANT BE GREASED .. THE WHEEL FELL OFF IN A PARKING LOT .. THE PASSENGERS SIDE IS DOING THE SAME SHEARING OFF .. IT MADE A WHINING NOISE ON THE DRIVERS AIDE AND IS NOT MAKING A NOISE ON PASSENGER SIDE

ALL WINDOW MOTORS HAVE A PROBLEM AND 3 HAVE GONE OUT ...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, IT ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY EVEN WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE PLACED INTO NEUTRAL IN ORDER TO STOP.

THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL MORE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,800. UPDATED 08/09/17*LJ

WE OWN A 2004 JEEP LIBERTY THAT WAS PURCHASED NEW IN VIRGINIA AND RESOLD TO OUR FAMILY IN 2013, IN VIRGINIA. ON 22 JUNE 2017, MY 18 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING OUR JEEP ON MOUNTAIN ROADS ABOUT 50 MILES FROM OUR HOME WHEN SHE NOTICED THE VEHICLE WAS "SWERVING" AND MAKING A NOISE. SHE MANAGED TO SAFELY MOVE THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE TRAFFIC LANE AND CONTACT ME. UPON MY ARRIVAL AND INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE, I NOTICED THE REAR LOWER CONTROL ARM ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE HAD COMPLETELY BROKEN AND ALLOWED THE REAR END TO SHIFT POSITION, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO TRACK FAR OUT OF ALIGNMENT AND CAUSING THE REAR TIRE TO RUB ON THE FENDER WALL. I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE RUST APPEARED TO BE THE CAUSE OF THE CONTROL ARMS FAILURE. AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE HOME AND RESEARCHING PARTS TO REPLACE THE BROKEN CONTROL ARM, I DISCOVERED THAT PART HAD BEEN RECALLED ON 2004 JEEP LIBERTYS WHICH SURPRISED ME BECAUSE I HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED BY A JEEP DEALER TO ENSURE ALL RECALLS HAD BEEN COMPLETED. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, HOWEVER, I LEARNED THE RECALL ONLY EFFECTED THOSE LIBERTYS IN THE NORTH EAST AND UPPER MIDWEST WHERE SALT IS FREQUENTLY USED ON SNOWY ROADS (HTTPS://WWW.AUTOTRADER.COM/CAR-RECALL/JEEP-ADDS-137000-LIBERTY-SUVS-TO-RECALL-171108). WHILE THIS EXPLAINS WHY THE DEALERSHIP HADN'T REPAIRED THE ITEM, IT CERTAINLY DIDN'T EXPLAIN WHY WE WEREN'T NOTIFIED THAT THE PART IS PRONE TO SUCH FAILURES, CONSIDERING VIRGINIA DOES RECEIVE A FAIR SHARE OF SNOW AND A HUGE PORTION OF THE VIRGINIA POPULATION COMMUTES

I HAVE A SOUTHERN STATE VEHICLE EXPERIENCING WHAT I BELIEVE IS A NORTHERN STATE (SALT BELT) RECALL. MY LOWER CONTROL ARMS ARE RUSTED ALMOST TO THE POINT OF DANGEROUS. APPARENTLY THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT IS NOT LIMITED TO NORTHERN STATES. NO FAILURE AT THIS TIME BUT IT APPEARS IT COULD HAPPEN ANYTIME. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V085000

I GOT MY JEEP REPOED IN 2016 BECAUSE OF NOT MAKING MY PAYMENTS. I WAS HAVING THE PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS TANK AND THE ENGINE WAS NOT RUNNING CORRECTLY. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO? PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

WAS GOING DOWN A HILL. DIDN'T NOTICE A STOP SIGN. TRIED TO STOP BUT COULDN'T IN TIME. TOOK THE CORNER AND HIT A TREE WITH MY PASSENGER FRONT CORNER AND THE JEEP FLIPPED ON ITS SIDE. SMASHED MY FACE ON THE STEERING WHEEL SHATTERING MY JAW DUE TO AIRBAGS NOT GOING OFF AND SEATBELTS NOT LOCKING. NEEDED IMMEDIATE SURGERY. THEY HAD TO SMASH THE FRONT WINDOW TO GET ME OUT OF THE VEHICLE.

I PURCHASED MY 2004 JEEP LIBERTY IN 2009 WITH 16K MILES ON IT. IN 2010 I HAD TO HAVE THE PASSENGER'S SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR REPLACED AT $200. IN 2011 THE BACK DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW HAD THE SAME ISSUE, BUT NOW THE REPAIR WAS QUOTED AT BEING AT LEAST $400. IN LATE 2016 THE BACK PASSENGER WINDOW DID THE SAME THING. THIS WEEK MARCH 2017 THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WINDOW HAS DONE THE SAME THING AND NO LONGER STAYS UP. ALL OF THESE HAVE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING EITHER ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY WHILE MOVING.

WAS DRIVING AND MY LOWER STABILIZER BAR BROKE INTO FROM RUST AND MADE ME REARED SHIFT CAUSING ME TO ALMOST FLIP.

MY CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE LAST NIGHT, FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS UNABLE TO CONFIRM SOURCE OF FIRE. I RESEARCHED JEEP LIBERTY 2004 RECALLS AND FOUND ON JUNE 12,2012 THE OFFICE OF DEFECTS INVESTIGATION (ODI) OF THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION (NHTSA) OPENED (EA) 12-005 TO INVESTIGATE AN ALLEGED SAFETY RELATED DEFECTS CONCERNING FUEL TANK SYSTEM INTEGRITY FOR JEEP MY 1993-2007 FOR , WHICH INCLUDED NUMEROUS FIRE.

CAR COMPLETELY COMBUSTED IN FLAMES,

TWO CONCERNS - THE FIRST BEING SAFETY RELATED. THERE IS METAL GRINDING NOISE WHEN BRAKING. ALL SPEEDS - SLOW OR FAST, AND IN ALL "DRIVES", TWO WHEEL OR FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. NO MECHANICS I HAVE VISITED HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE IT. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OTHER JEEP LIBERTY OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE SPOKEN IN PERSON WITH SEVERAL AND READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE OF THE SAME THING. SECONDLY, THREE OF MY WINDOWS HAVE NOW FAILED TO OPERATE. ALSO A WIDESPREAD JEEP LIBERTY ISSUE WITH A PIECE IN THE LIFTING MECHANISM. THE MOTORS ARE OPERATING JUST FINE, BUT THERE IS A PIECE INSIDE THE DOOR THAT BREAKS AND THE WINDOWS FAIL TO OPEN OR CLOSE THEREAFTER. SOMETIMES, A LIFTING MECHANISM SPRING-LOOKING PIECE GRINDS UPWARDS INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THE "BROKEN" WINDOW MECHANISMS ARE ACCIDENTALLY ACTIVATED. ALSO CONCERNED THESE SPRING MECHANISMS COULD SNAP IN THE CABIN AND CAUSE EXTREME HARM.

FUEL TANK STRAPS ROTTED & BROKE OFF

OWNER OF VEHICLE OPENED DOOR AND LEANED INSIDE TO START VEHICLE. HE INSERTED KEY AND TURNED THE IGNITION TO THE "START" POSITION. THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOYED. OWNER WAS INJURED. NO OTHER AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. SEAT BELT PRETENSIONERS DID NOT DEPLOY.

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK, THE PASSENGER HEATED SEAT CAUGHT FIRE. THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ALREADY HAS A RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 09V117000. I CONTACTED JEEP IN AN EFFORT TO GET THEM TO EXPAND THEIR RECALL AND THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. PLEASE, ASSIST ME IN INVESTIGATING THIS PROBLEM AND HAVING THE COMPANY FIX THIS PROBLEM. I'M GUESSING THE GRAND CHEROKEE, WHICH IS MORE LUXURIOUS, HAS MANY MORE VEHICLES WITH HEATED SEATS THAN THE LIBERTY THUS MORE COMPLAINTS. HAVING SAID THAT, JUST BECAUSE THERE ARE FEWER VEHICLES WITH THE PROBLEM DOESN'T MEAN THE VEHICLE IS ANY LESS HAZARDOUS THAN THE CHEROKEE.

REAR LOWER CONTROL ARM ON DRIVERS SIDE BROKE WHILE TRAVELING DOWN HIGHWAY #81 OUTSIDE OF COLUMBUS, NE. TOTAL STEERING CONTROL WAS LOST NEARLY CAUSING A PROBABLE SEVERE ACCIDENT. MY LOCAL REPAIR SHOP CHECKED AND FOUND A RECALL FOR THIS, (RECALL # L27120613-010) CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE RECALL DID NOT INCLUDE NEBRASKA. DOES NOT THE LIVES AND WELLFARE OF US HERE IN NEBRASK DESERVE THE SAME PROTECTIONS AS DO OTHER STATES?

GOES IN REVERSE BUT WHEN PUTTING IT INTO DRIVE GOES A FOOT AND THE BREAKS COME ON BY THEMSELVES. LOCKS UP AND CANT MOVE. DOES THIS IN MY DRIVEWAY AND ON THE ROAD, NOT DRIVABLE. I ALMOST GOT KILLED WHEN THE BREAKS LOCKED UP AND A VEHICLE BEHIND ME HAD TO AVOID HITTING ME. THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE DOES GET KILLED. THERE ARE NO PICTURES TO UPLOAD YOU CANT SEE INSIDE THE BREAK SYSTEM OR WHAT EVER IT IS THAT IS CAUSING THIS HORRIBLE WAITING TO BE FATAL ACCIDENT.

I WAS APPROACHING THE ONRAMP,& AS I TURNED ON I HEARD A NOISE. THINKING I HAD A FLAT I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF TO CHECK MY TIRES UPON ROUNDING THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE I SAW LIQUID ON THE GROUND UPON BACKING UP A STEP I COULD SEE IT WAS MY GAS TANK WITH THE BROKEN BRACKETS. I THANK GOD THERE WERE NO SPARKS & THAT I WAS NOT YET @ SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE. I WAS TERRIFIED AS TO HOW CLOSE TO DEATH I POSSIBLY WAS. THEN I FIND OUT HERE THAT IT HAD HAPPENED 1 OTHER TIME (THAT'S REPORTED HERE) BUT NOT TO THE MANUFACTURER. NOW I'M OUT OF MY VEHICLE WHILE BEING REPAIRED AND OUT OF WORK TILL IT'S FIXED. THIS SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO COME OUT OF MY POCKET BUT WILL BECAUSE OF NEGLIGENCE. I ONLY WISH I HAD THOUGH TO TAKE PICTURES BEFORE IT WAS LOADED & TOWED TO THE GARAGE.
