MY 2005 JEEP LIBERTY 4X4 WAS SERVICED ON JANUARY 11, 2007 AT ITS PLACE OF PURCHASE (BROWN DAUB CHRYSLER IN EASTON, PA). I HAD DESCRIBED TO MY SERVICE TECH THE CAR WAS MAKING A LOUD SCREECHING NOISE WHEN TURNING AND THAT THE CAR HAD PULLED TO THE RIGHT OFF AND ON (EVERY FEW DAYS) WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT HE FOUND A "NORMAL NOISE" RELATED TO AN AIR VALVE IN THE POWER STEERING, AND THERE WERE NO REPAIRS MADE TO THE VEHICLE. I WAS OPERATING THE JEEP LIBERTY ON SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3RD. I HAD THE VEHICLE IN PARK AT A DRIVE-UP ATM. WHEN I SHIFTED THE CAR BACK INTO DRIVE, THE FRONT TIRES GRABBED, THE CAR KICKED FORWARD AND THE STEERING WHEEL PULLED TO THE RIGHT. THE JEEP RODE UP OVER A CONCRETE CURB AND STRUCK A CEMENT POLE, SHATTERING THE PASSENGER'S SIDE FRONT WINDOW, RIPPING OFF THE DOOR HANDLE, CAUSING A DENT AND PAINT DAMAGE TO THE PASSENGER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. BEYOND THIS PROBLEM, THE JEEP HAS BEEN SERVICED FOR A BROAD RANGE OF MECHANICAL PROBLEMS AT LEAST SEVEN OTHER TIMES SINCE THE PURCHASE DATE (OCTOBER 2004). THE FUEL SENDING UNIT HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE, THE VEHICLE HAS HAD TWO RECALLS, AND FOUR MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THE SENSOR WIRES HAD "RUBBED THROUGH COMPLETELY" ON THE TRANSMISSION. RIGHT NOW, THE VEHICLE IS AT A BODY SHOP FOR REPAIR AND INSPECTION. IT WILL THEN BE RETURNED TO BROWN DAUB FOR A THOROUGH DIAGNOSTIC CHECKUP OF THE POWER STEERING AND/OR STEERING COLUMN. BEYOND THE STEERING ISSUE, THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THE CAR HAS '

MY 2005 JEEP LIBERTY HAS A RECALL FOR SAFETY CHRYSLER SAFETY RECALL F23- AND WE ONLY FOUND OUT BY ACCIDENT, IN SPEAKING TO MANY OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME TYPE OF VECHILE AND SAME YEAR NONE OF THESE PEOPLE EVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE FROM DAIMLER CHRYSLER- WHEN WE FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS RECALL - 60 DAYS AGO WE CALLED THE DEALER AND I ALSO CONTRACTED DAIMLER CHRYSLER - I WAS TOLD THAT THE DEALERS ONLY GET ABOUT 3 FIX KITS PER WEEK- AND WE ARE NOW NUMBER 96 ON A WAIT LIST. NHTS NEEDS TO LITE A FIRE UNDER DAIMLER CHRYSLER TO GET MORE FIX KITS OUT AND TO MAKE THEM NOTIFY OWNER AND WE ARE THE ORGINAL OWER OF ANY FURTHER RECALLS

RECEIVED RE-CALL NOTICE, CONTACTED DEALERSHIP AS INSTRUCTED IN NOTICE AND WAS TOLD THEY DIDN'T HAVE PARTS. CONTACTED DAIMLER CHRYSLER AT THE NUMBER PROVIDED AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT/WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. NOW MY CAR IS NOT FIXED AND THE DEALERSHIP AND DAIMLER CHRYSLER ARE BOTH TELLING ME IT IS NOT THEIR JOB, FAULT, PROBLEM. *NM

I BOUGHT A NEW 2005 JEEP LIBERTY FROM CHRYSLER. IT HAS LESS THAN 30,000 MILES ON IT (WARRANTY IS FOR 36,0000/3YEARS). I HAVE ALWAYS KEPT IT IN GOOD CONDITION, AND HAVE DONE ALL MAINTENANCE (OIL CHANGES, TIRE ROTATION, ETC.) .A FEW OF MY OIL CHANGES WERE DONE AT AN OIL SHOP, EVEN AT THE DEALER. SO, OUT OF THE BLUE (NO WARNING LIGHTS, OR "STRANGE" SOUNDS PREVIOUS TO THIS) AS SOON AS I STARTED IT, I HEARD A FUNNY "CLANKING" SOUND. I GOT IN, FIGURED I''D BE CAUTIOUS, AND TAKE IT AROUND THE BLOCK.WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS, THE "CLANKING" NOISE INCREASED. SO, I PARKED IT AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP. FIRST, THEY LOOKED AT AND SAID THEY WEREN'T SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, BUT WOULD HAVE THE ENGINE TECH. LOOK AT IT. HE FINALLY DID (AFTER 3 DAYS OF HEARING NOTHING) AND SAID THAT I HAD A ''BAD VALVE''. THEN THEY CALLED ME A DAY OR SO LATER AND SAID THAT MY "ENGINE HEAD" WAS BAD AND THAT THE ENTIRE ENGINE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I ASKED WHAT THE CAUSE OF THIS AND THEY SAID THAT MY OIL WAS SLUDGED UP SO BADLY THAT IT KNOCKED THE ENGINE APART! NOT TO MENTION, WOULDN''T THE FIRST TECH. HAVE NOTICED SOMETHING SO OBVIOUS??? NOW THEY ARE SAYING THEY WANT ME TO PAY THE $6,000 TO REPLACE THE ENGINE EVEN THOUGH IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY! THE ONLY WAY THEY WILL COVER IT, IS IF I BRING ALL OF MY OIL CHANGE RECEIPTS IN. WELL, DON'T HAVE ALL OF MY OIL CHANGE RECEIPTS! NOWHERE IN THE WARRANTY BOOK DOES IT STATE THAT YOU MUST KEEP ALL RECEIPTS! I'VE CONTACTED CHRYSLER VIA EMAIL,

I HAD MY VEHICLE IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALER WHO SOLD ME MY 2005 JEEP LIBERTY AND WAS INFORMED AT THAT TIME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED PREVIOUS TO THAT. THAT IS NOT MY MAJOR COMPLAINT. MY AREA OF CONCERN IS THAT I HAD TO PUT MY NAME ON A LIST AND WAIT UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. THE RECALL IS FOR BALL JOINT AND WHILE IT COULD LEAD TO A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT CHRYSLER SEEMS UNCONCERNED. MY DEALER TOLD ME THAT CHRYSLER SENDS OUT 20,000 LETTERS PER WEEK TO NOTIFY CUSTOMERS OF THE PROBLEM BUT ONLY PRODUCES 1,000 UNITS THAT WILL RECTIFY THE PROBLEM AND MAKE THE VEHICLE SAFE TO DRIVE. I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE DOING EVERYTHING THAT THEY CAN TO PROTECT THEIR CUSTOMERS. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN MY OWN VEHICLE. *NM

TL* - ON 12-16-06 THE CONTAC, DROVE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH AND FOUND AN OBSTCLE IN THE ROAD. WHILE TRYING TO AVOID THE OBSTCLE SWERVED FROM LEFT TO THE RIGHT AND LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE. IT STRUCK A CAR, AS WELL AS A GUARD RAIL. THE CONTACT FELT THAT THE LOSS OF CONTROL WAS DUE TO THE BALL JOINTS SEPARATING, CAUSING HIM TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE STEERING. ALSO, THE CONTAC STATED THAT HE NEVER GOT NHTSA RECALL 06V288000. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE COULD NOT PROVIDE COPY OF POLICE REPORT, BUT, HE COULD PROVIDE PICTURES OF VEHICLE IF NEEDED. *AK

I HAVE A NATIONWIDE SAFETY RECALL ON MY 2005 JEEP LIBERTY FROM DAIMLER CHRYSLER. WHEN I CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP AS INSTRUCTED BY CHRYSLER I WAS INFORMED THEY WERE ONLY RECEIVING 3 PARTS A WEEK FROM CHRYSLER. AS OF TODAY I AM 80TH ON THE WAITING LIST. AS YOU CAN SEE IT WILL TAKE ALMOST 27 WEEKS AND/OR MORE TO GET MY JEEP FIXED. MY CONCERN IS THE RECALL STATES THE FOLLOWING:"WHEN THE DRIVER CONTINUES TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH THIS CONDITION, THE CONTAMINATION CAN LEAD TO CORROSION, ACCELERATED WEAR AND POSSIBLY SEPARATION FROM THE STEERING KNUCKLE CAUSING A LOSS OF VEHICLE STEERING CONTROL INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH." IT APPEARS THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONDITION THAT COULD KILL THE PEOPLE IN THE LIBERTY AND OTHER VEHICLES IF THIS UNIT FAILS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU CAN ASSIST IN THIS MATTER. THANK YOU, LARRY J. PAUL. *NM

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL SAFETY RELATED ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 2005 JEEP LIMITED LIBERTY CRD. CHRYSLER RECENTLY ISSUED A F37 CUSTOMER SATISFACTION RECALL WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE, BUT ONLY ONE DAY AFTER THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED THE TRUCK EXHIBITS THE SAME UNSAFE CONDITION. *NM

THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON 4 TIMES IN THE FIRST 14 MONTHS OF OWNING THE CAR AS A RESULT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE EGR VALVE. THIS IS TYPICALLY PREFACED BY THE CAR BEING SLUGGISH WHEN PULLING FROM A PARKING SPOT. *NM

EGR FAILURE. TOURQUE CONVERTER FAILURE - REQURED TOW AND 8 DAYS IN SERVICE. 4 TSBS. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE APPLYING BRAKE PRESSURE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOORBOARD, AND THERE WAS AN INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER, WHO DETERMINED THE MASTER CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTERWARDS, THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY THE DEALER, WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT ALERTED.

***UNSAFE CONDITION WITH 2005 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED CRD TRANSMISSION***** DUE TO FAILURE OF TRANSMISSION TO PROPERLY LOCK-UP AT OVERDRIVE AT 50-55 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUDDERS, AND HAS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS CONDITION THAT IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THERE ARE ONLY 11,000 DIESEL JEEP LIBERTIES IN PRODUCTION, AND I THINK A RECALL IS NECESSARY IMMEDIATELY TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY AS THE 2005 AND 2006 MODELS BEGIN TO EXPERIENCE AN INCREASE IN FAILURES. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THERE WERE NO VISIBLE PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THERE WAS A NHTSA RECALL # 06V288000 REGARDING THE FRONT LOWER BALL JOINT. THE PARTS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WERE NOT AVAILABLE AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THE MANUFACTURER CONFIRMED THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

MY 2005 JEEP LIBERTY DIESEL SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING LOSES POWER, AND WILL EITHER DIE OR ONLY MOVE AT UNDER 10 MPH. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND LUCKILY AN ACCIDENT WAS AVOIDED. THE SAME PROBLEM FREQUENTLY OCCURS WHILE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND IS ESPECIALLY CONCERNING WHEN TURNING LEFT AT STOP SIGNS AND STOP LIGHTS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND TRANSMISSION PUMP NEEDED REPLACEMENT, BUT IT WOULD BE OK TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS THAT CONTINUED OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE WITH THE PROBLEMS ITS EXHIBITED COULD POTENTIALLY BE UNSAFE. THEY TOLD ME THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE THE NEXT WEEK AND IT WOULD BE FINE UNTIL THEN. *JB

2005 JEEP LIBERTY CRD 4X4 VEHICLE BEGAN SHUDDERING UPON ACCELERATION. WOULD HESITATE AND BOG DOWN WHEN SLOWED FROM SPEED THEN RESUMING ACCELERATION. VERY UNEXPECTEDLY. MORE THAN ONE OCCASION WHILE CROSSING LANES OF TRAFFIC. DEALER MIS-DIAGNOSED FIRST TIME, BROUGHT BACK AS PROBLEM GOT WORSE. DEALER DIAGNOSED AS FAILED TORQUE CONVERTER AND FAILED FLUID PUMP IN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. DELAY ON GETTING REPAIR PARTS DUE TO COMMON PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE AND TRANSMISSION. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS A NHTSA RECALL # 06V288000 ON THE VEHICLE REGARDING THE FRONT LOWER BALL JOINT. THE PARTS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WERE NOT AVAILABLE AT THE LOCAL DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER CONFIRMED THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 12/18/2006 - *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE IN REVERSE, THE ILLUMINATION OF THE BACK UP LIGHTS WAS NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH FOR THE CONTACT TO SEE PEOPLE OR OBJECT THAT MAY BE BEHIND THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER WHO DETERMINED THE LIGHTS PERFORM AS DESIGNED. UPDATED 12/5/2006 - *NM

TC CONVERTER AND TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON JEEP LIBERTY CRD DIESEL WHEN TC FAILS IT CAN CAUSE YOU TO CRASH AND LOOSE CONTROL OF THE JEEP,DC KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM AND DOES NOT HELP THE CUSTOMER AND THE DEALER HAS HAD MY JEEP FOR 3 WEEKS AND STILL NOT FIXED YET! *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE HAD DIFFICULTIES ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SERVICE DEALER, WHO DETERMINED IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO GET ASSISTANCE FROM THE SERVICE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE.

2005 JEEP LIBERTY CRD HAS INTERMITTENT AND UNPREDICTABLE ISSUES WITH "SHUDDERING" AND "BUCKING" BOTH ON THE HIGHWAY AND AT LOW SPEED OR STOP. THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES DIES UNEXPECTEDLY AT INTERSECTIONS, OR HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING SUCH AS TURNING FROM STOP AT AN INTERSECTION. THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION "GEAR HUNTS" BETWEEN 50 AND 60 MPH, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SHUDDER AND LURCH UNPREDICTABLY. MOST NOTABLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM IS THAT OF THE VEHICLE DYING WHEN THE BRAKE IS STEPPED ON WHILE APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION, OR DYING WHEN PULLING AWAY FROM AN INTERSECTION. THIS SITUATION COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, AS THE VEHICLE WILL STOP WITHOUT THE BRAKE BEING APPLIED. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES FOR THE SAME TROUBLE. THE HESITATION PROBLEMS SEEMS TO DISAPPEAR FOR A TIME, BUT ALWAYS RETURN. THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDER AND "GEAR HUNTING" HAVE NEVER CEASED. THE DEALER HAS REPEATEDLY SUGGESTED THAT IT IS "TURBO LAG" OR THE "FILTERS NEED TO BE REPLACED." FILTER REPLACEMENT HAS DONE NOTHING. *NM

THIS COMPLAINT IS IN REFERENCE TO MY 2005 JEEP LIBERTY (VIN#1J4GL48K6 5WXXXXXX ). MY WIFE, WITH OUR NEWBORN BABY ON-BOARD, WAS DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ON A DRY, ASPHALT SURFACE WHEN SHE EXPERIENCED A PERIOD OF STEERING LOSS, CAUSING HER TO DRIVE OFF OF THE ROADWAY. I INVESTIGATED THIS ISSUE AND WAS SURPRISED TO FIND THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON LOWER BALL JOINTS FOR THIS VEHICLE. THE DATE OF THIS RECALL WAS SEPTEMBER 6, 2006. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE OF THIS FROM EITHER THE MANUFACTURER (CHRYSLER JEEP) OR MY DEALER. THIS IS NEGLIGENCE AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A CRASH. *NM

MY VEHICLE HAS A STEERING PROBLEM; I UNDERSTAND THAT THE BALL JOINTS HAVE BEEN RECALLED. THE DEALER (BERRY, IN CORSICANA, TEXAS), SAYS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE AND REFUSES TO WORK ON IT. I HAVE ALREADY HAD IT IN FOR SERVICE, PRIOR TO LEARNING ABOUT THE RECALL, THREE TIMES WITH NO RESOLUTION. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE THERE WERE 22,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. NOW, THERE ARE 31,000 MILES. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHO REPLACED THE POWER CONTROL MODULE. THE PROBLEM RETURNED AFTER A MONTH. THAT COMPONENT WAS REPLACED FIVE TIMES. ALSO, WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE LOST PRESSURE. THE VEHICLE OPERATED AFTER RESTARTING. THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT ILLUMINATED, BUT THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS NORMAL. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THESE PROBLEMS.

I ALMOST LOST MY LIFE ON A CLIFFSIDE CORNER ON HWY 1 WHEN MY 2005 JEEP LIBERTY CRD (COMMON RAIL DIESEL) TORQUE CONVERTER FAILED CAUSING BOTH REAR WHEELS TO LOCK UP AT 55 MPH. HAPPENED AGAIN A COUPLE MILES LATER AND THEN CONTINUED TO REPEAT ITSELF AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER 5 TIMES TO DATE FOR THE INITIAL PROBLEMS (STALLING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND GOING INTO LIMP MODES). I KNEW IT WAS THE TORQUE CONVERTER PREPARING TO GO OUT BECAUSE I HAD RESEARCHED CONSUMER REPORTINGS OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS ONLINE. THE DEALERSHIP, HOWEVER, EXPLAINED THAT THEY WOULD ONLY FOLLOW CHRYSLER CORPORATE'S RULES AND CORPORATE WASN'T ALLOWING THEM TO REPLACE THE CONVERTER. INSTEAD THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED TRANSMISSION SOLENOID, THEN TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE, THEN CALLED TO TELL ME IT WAS MY AFTERMARKET INSTALLATION PROBLEM (TWICE). EACH TIME THIS MEANT THAT THEY SENT ME OUT IN A "FIXED" VEHICLE THAT STALLED ON ME AND CAUSED ME TO PUT EMERGENCY HAZARDS ON AND DRIVE IN LIMP MODE IN RIGHT HAND LANE OR ON SHOULDER. THEN WHEN THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE MANAGER DROVE IT AND PERSONALLY FELT WHAT A "SAFETY ISSUE IT WAS", HAS NOW LOOKED AT THE POSTINGS AND IS BEFUDDLED WHY CORPORATE WASN'T ADVISING THEM OF THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT WITH THESE 2005 AND 2006 JEEP LIBERTY CRDS AND THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF IT BUT DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. CHRYSLER IS PUTTING ITS CONSUMERS AT GRAVE RISK FOR LOSS OF LIFE. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT (1) CHRYSLER HAS

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT PASS INSPECTION DUE TO THE FRONT SUSPENSION, LOWER CONTROL ARM, BALL JOINT AS LISTED IN RECALL # 06V288000. THE SERVICE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND WAS UNABLE TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIR IMMEDIATELY. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, ALTHOUGH NOTIFICATION WAS NOT YET RECEIVED.

THE BEST WAY I CAN DESCRIBE THE PROBLEM IS: OUR CAR HAS BEHAVED LIKE WE'VE SLOWLY RELEASED THE CLUTCH ON A MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED. IT HAS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE CAR WILL LURCH FORWARD, HARD AGAINST THE BRAKES, THE ENGINE WILL START STRAINING AND FINALLY STALL OUT. FORTUNATELY, EACH TIME IT'S DONE THIS, WE WERE IN OUR OWN DRIVEWAY OR A PLACE WHERE THERE WAS NO DANGER OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT, OR WERE ABLE TO HOLD THE BRAKES HARD ENOUGH TO KEEP THE VEHICLE FROM ENTERING THE ROADWAY. IT SEEMS TO DO THIS WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS COOLED OFF BUT NOT NECESSARILY WHEN IT'S COMPLETELY COLD. WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RECREATE THE RIGHT SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES FOR THE DEALER TO SEE THE PROBLEM (WE ARE NOT SURE WHAT THE RIGHT SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES ARE). SINCE NO CODES HAVE BEEN SET, AND IT HASN'T HAPPENED WHEN THE DEALER DROVE IT, NO REPAIR HAS BEEN MADE OR OFFERED TO BE MADE. *NM

1. RANDOM EVENT, VEHICLE START AFTER OVERNIGHT REST (MIN 8 HRS), COLD START DRIVEWAY. NOT AFFECTED BY AMBIENT TEMP OR SEASON. THIS HAS OCCURRED SINCE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW AND RANDOMLY HAPPENS ONCE PER WEEK ON THE AVERAGE. 2. VEHICLE STARTED, EITHER BACKED FROM GARAGE OR PARKING LOT DRIVEWAY , PLACED IN DRIVE AND DRIVE AWAY INITIATED UNTIL STOPPED AT INTERSECTION. TRANSMISSION LOCKS UP AND STALLS ENGINE AT /OR IN INTERSECTION. SINCE THIS IS RANDOM , WORK AROUND SAFETY MEASURES CANNOT BE PREDICTED TO PROVIDE SAFE ENTRY INTO INTERSECTION, HENCE SOMETIMES WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WITH A STALLED ENGINE. 3. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO DELIVERED TO DEALERSHIP PURCHASED FROM . THERE HAS BEEN 4 VISITS/ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR WITH NO AVAIL. MEETING WITH DEALERSHIP RESULTED IN DEALERSHIP EXPLAINING THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, NOR DOES THE JEEP TECH REP "JOHN STICK ROD", AND THEY HAVE NO SOLUTIONS FROM JEEP AUBURN HILLS SERVICE ORGANIZATION SINCE THEY CLAIM THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM TO THEIR KNOWLEDGE. WE HAVE SUBMITTED OTHER INTERNET ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OF THIS PROBLEM TO THE DEALERSHIP IN ORDER TO EDUCATE THEM OF THE AVAILABILITY OF THIS COMMON PROBLEM ON JEEP LIBERTY CRD DIESEL MODELS. *JB

12,000 ODOMETER. TRANSMISSION BEGAN SHUTTERING WHILE WE WERE ALMOST HOME FROM A TRIP WITH SMALL 7.5 FT POP UP CAMPER. TOOK TO DEALER AND THE JEEP WAS "WORKED" ON FOR A FULL WEEK. I PICKED IT UP NEXT WEEK AND NOTICED WORSE CONDITION BEFORE GETTING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT. CO-OWNER OF DEALERSHIP WAS ASKED TO RIDE IN THE JEEP AND WHILE HE WAS DRIVING IT THE TORQUE CONVERTER LOCKED UP AND STRANDED US. THANKFULLY, THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN THE PREVIOUS WEEK WHEN WE WERE 3 STATES AWAY FROM HOME. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THE JEEP HAS BEEN IN FOR REPAIRS SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN FEBRUARY 06. *JB

MY 2005 JEEP LIBERTY DIESEL HAD A CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON THE DRIVE HOME FROM THE PURCHASE FROM THE DEALER. I BOUGHT IT USED WITH 18,000 MILES AND DURING THE DRIVE HOME I HAD IRREGULAR SHIFTING FOLLOWED BY HIGH ENGINE REVS AND THEN A LOSS OF POWER ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS (ALMOST AS IF I HAD LOST A GEAR). AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER THE FIRST TIME, THEY REPLACED AN INTERNAL COMPONENT IN THE TRANSMISSION, I DROVE IT HOME (APPROX. 30 MI.) AND HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN. THE SECOND TIME THE DEALER SAID THAT THE ORIGINALLY, THEY DID NOT REPLACE ENOUGH OF THE TRANS. TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I ENDED UP NEEDING A NEW TORQUE CONVERTER AND VARIOUS OTHER INTERNAL TRANSMISSION COMPONENTS. THIS MUST HAVE BEEN QUITE THE POPULAR REPAIR BECAUSE THE DEALER HAD MY CAR FOR 3 1/2 WEEKS AS THE PART WAS ON CHRYSLER BACKORDER. SOMETIMES THE TRANSMISSION STILL SEEMS AWKWARD AND I GET AN OCCASIONAL SHUDDER HOWEVER, THE OCCURRENCES VARY AND IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO PREDICT OR PINPOINT WHEN SOMETHING STRANGE HAPPENS. *NM

TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP AND KILLED THE ENGINE WHEN PUTTING THE TRANSMISSION INTO DRIVE. WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AFTER SITTING FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES, BUT SITUATION WAS THE JEEP WAS IN TRAFFIC AND CREATED A TRAFFIC HAZARD. *NM

I'M REPORTING A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT CRD (4X4 DIESEL) TRANSMISSION PUMP AND TORQUE CONVERTER FAILURE WITH ONLY 6000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THIS FAILURE RESULTED IN LOSS OF SHIFTING AT 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE VEHICLE IN 5TH GEAR. AFTER COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP LIGHT MY FAMILY WAS STRANDED AT A DESOLATE INTERSECTION IN HOT SOUTH TEXAS. THERE WAS GREAT POTENTIAL FOR A COLLISION AND LOSS OF LIFE WHEN VEHICLE CONTROL AND ACCELERATION WAS LOST AS WELL AS WHILE PUSHING THE VEHICLE FROM TRAVEL LANES. THE REPAIR TOOK 3 WEEKS LEAVING ME WITHOUT MY NEW VEHICLE. I INCURRED GREATER THAN $1500 IN EXPENSES IN HOTEL AND TRAVEL EXPENSES TO RETRIEVE MY CAR FROM A DEALERSHIP FAR FROM HOME. TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY, JEEP WAS AND IS AWARE OF TRANSMISSION RELIABILITY ISSUES AND HAS ISSUED A TSB "SILENT RECALL" BUT DID NOT NOTIFY DRIVERS THEREFORE UNNECESSARILY PUTTING MY FAMILY AT RISK. *NM

SINCE NEW WITH MY 2005 JEEP LIBERTY CRD (DIESEL) IN SEPT. 2005 MY CRD HAS NEEDED TO HAVE NUMEROUS TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS (TSB'S) DONE TO ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE TRANSMISSION ISSUES.
