2009 Jeep Liberty complaints

BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT FRONT TURN SIGNAL/MARKER/PARKING LAMP ASSEMBLY/MODULES HAVE SUDDENLY AND FOR NO APPARENT REASON ARE LEAKING AND HOLD WATER/CONDENSATION. THEREFORE, RESULTING IN REDUCE LIGHTING, DIM, OR NON-FUNCTIONAL FRONT TURN SIGNALS. AND THE RESULTING EXPOSURE TO WATER, AND POSSIBLE CORROSION OF ELECTRICAL WIRING, CONTACTS, AND LAMPS. WHICH, MAY INDEED RESULT IN A SYSTEM ELECTRICAL SHORT OR PERHAPS POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL FIRE. A NEW 2009 JEEP, THAT HAS NEVER BEEN OFF-ROAD NOR IN ANY KIND OF STANDING OR DEEP WATER, WITH ONLY 26+ K MILES SHOULD NOT HAVE A DUAL FAILURE OF THE SAME COMPONENT AT EXACTLY AT THE SAME TIME. THANK YOU. *TR

FAILURE OF 2009 (DRIVERS SIDE) REAR BRAKE LIGHT WITH ONLY 17,000 MILES. HAVE NOTED A NUMBER OF SAME MAKE AND MODEL CAR WITH SAME DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE LIGHT OUT. TOOK IT TO DEALER BUT DUE TO COST, REPLACED BLUB MYSELF. WAS TOLD BY DEALER IT COULD ALSO BE AN OVER LOAD ON THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUT CAUSING PREMATURE FAILURE OF BLUB ON JUST THAT ONE SIDE. FIRST NEW CAR IN OVER 40 YEARS I HAVE HAD UNDER TWO YEARS WITH 17000 MILES HAVE JUST THE ONE SIDE BRAKE LIGHT GO OUT. FEARFUL OF A BIGGER PROBLEM AND POSSIBLE COLLISION FROM OTHER CARS IF THEY FAIL TO SEE MY BRAKE LIGHT. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. VARIOUS REPAIRS, INCLUDING A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT AND FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT, WERE PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED.

I OWN A 2009 JEEP LIBERTY WITH 2000 MILES ON IT. TWICE IT HAS SUDDENLY ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN WHEN I WAS STARTING FROM A STOPPED POSITION TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPACE. THE FIRST TIME I WAS ABLE TO STOP IT USING THE BRAKES BEFORE IT JUMPED OVER THE CURB. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED SO FAST I COULDN'T STOP IT IN TIME AND IT HIT A LARGE CONCRETE COLUMN IN FRONT OF THE PARKING SPACE. THE CAR SUFFERED QUITE A LOT OF BODY DAMAGE AND WILL BE IN A BODY SHOP FOR 3 OR MORE WEEKS. I SUFFERED SEVERAL SKIN WOUNDS ON MY HAND AND ARM AND A SPRAINED THUMB. AFTER TALKING WITH SEVERAL MECHANIC FRIENDS, HERE IS WHAT I THINK MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED. IN BOTH CASES I WAS MAKING AN EXTREME LEFT TURN INTO A RIGHT-SLANTED PARKING SPACE FROM A TWO-LANE AISLE. IN BOTH CASES I HAD JUST CROSSED OVER A SAFETY BUMP AND STOPPED TO LET ONCOMING TRAFFIC GO BY BEFORE I TURNED. IN BOTH CASES, IT WAS HOT AND MY AIR CONDITIONER WAS TURNED TO HIGH. THE COMBINATION OF THE LOAD OF THE AIR AND THE POWER STEERING COULD HAVE BEEN ENOUGH TO SHOW UP A DEFECT IN THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL THROTTLE SENSOR SOFTWARE AND CAUSE THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION. THIS IS THE ONLY EXPLANATION THAT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIND. I'M SURE IT WAS NOT DRIVER ERROR. I HAVE DRIVEN JEEPS FOR MANY YEARS AND NEVER HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT IN ALL MY YEARS OF DRIVING. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR ANALYSIS OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IT RESULTS IN MORE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS FOR JEEP LIBERTY OWNERS. *TR THANK YOU

MY KEY ON MY MY 2002 JEEP LIBERTY WILL NO LONGER TURN THE IGNITION. *TR
