I was passenger, my husband [xxx] was driving.airbag light came on and chimed for a couple of seconds, then suddenly the driver's side airbag deployed, bruising [xxx]' arm and hurting his neck and shoulder. More than a week later, i still cannot get anyone from chrysler/jeep to tell me what is going on. They finally had an inspector look at it today, but he said it could be 10-12 days before i get a response. I keep following up with chrysler by phone, but they will not tell me anything other than that they are investigating it.they did tell me not to drive the vehicle, leaving us with no vehicle and no rental or any type of resolve has been offered.

This vehicle has had electrical issues since i first bought it used 5 years ago. Last week i was driving my son and two of his friends home from the beach. I was on the interstate when suddenly the air bag light came on, stayed on for a minute or so, went out, then blinked a few times. I got a creepy feeling and decided to do a search. I am glad i did. I can't believe chrysler has not recalled these jeeps, i think they are going to be paying a lot more in pi claims than it would cost to do the right thing and fix the problem. I am afraid to use my car!!! i called hall jeep here in virginia beach and was told to bring it in so they could do an electrical check on the vehicle. [xxx], the girl i spoke with in the service department told me to drive it up there. I told her i was afraid to after reading about the injuries that have been incurred when the driver and sometimes passenger side air bags deploy for no reason. I am 5'2" tall and must sit close to the steering wheel, increasing the chance of injury or even death. She told me that even i said that the risk of it happening was small, when i asked her how i said that her response was "you said there have only been 87 incidents and there are thousands of them on the road" !!!!! i told her it should only take one for them to be alarmed. She then suggested i have it towed - at my expense of course. This is just unsatisfactory and i will never buy another chrysler product! my husband has been looking at the dodge ram truck but now i am reading about some life threatening issues with them, too!information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I t-boned a taxi that tried clearing 3 lanes of roadway last minute to make his exit.i was going 30mph. Upon impact, the priuses airbags went off, and i noticed my airbags in the jeep did not go off.for an impact at that speed, and hitting the car full frontal, it should have definitely gone off.

This vehicle now has 67000 miles on it.the air bag light intermittently came on at 63000 when hittingsmall pot holes in the road, then it finally came on and stayed on. I took this vehicle to the dealer and they told me that both modules failed that are in the driver and passager seat, and it would cost me $557.31 to have it fixed. I called chysler about this for some help with the cost to have it repaired, but they said no, i should maybe call you and file a complaint, so i am asking you to intervene with chysler on my behalf. According to the internet at bailey car.com/recalls, nhtsa said there have beeninjuries from the unexpected front bag deployments.i was lucky that i had my airbag light problem checked before the airbags unexpectedly deployed.because there are several consumers like me out there that are unknowingly subject to serious injuries, i feel that you should request that jeep recall all the 2002 and 2003 liberty jeeps for this malfunction.

Vehicle was taken in less than a year ago to get fixed due to a recall on the air bag system, but airbags did not deploy during crash. I was taken via ambulance to a local trauma unit. Vehicle was totaled.
2003 jeep liberty.consumer writes in regards to vehicle airbag and seat belt issues at dealership. The consumer stated the dealer did not want to give him an appointment, because they needed authorization.
Around february 2011, my airbag light started illuminating randomly for no apparent reason.it would come on, i would hear the chime, and then it would turn back off.eventually it began staying lit longer and longer until finally it stays on all at times.i can't recall if any certain speeds made any difference but it seemed like if i was to hit a bumpy part in the road or similar then i would either see the light come on or if it was already on, it would go off.now it never turns off.i haven't been to the dealer because i know the run around ill be given just as everyone else i've read about.i have researched how airbag systems operate and have slowly began my own process of determining what is the cause.only problem, every thing i read states that i should not play around with the airbag system and offers no info related to testing procedures.i work on cars and electronics often, so if i just had the correct information to feel safe, then i would surely try finding the problem myself.with this said, i shouldn't have to do this and i shouldn't have to wonder all the time, when is my airbag going to explode in my face.i'll remove the entire airbag system from the vehicle myself if chrysler doesn't react quickly.i replaced 2 window regulators.both in the back doors.such a common occurrence that they have created a repair kit so you don't have to purchase the window motor again.still the point is, you see these problems, stand up and do the right thing.we (consumers) are the reason you are able to make vehicles. Also i don't know if this helps but i have replaced 2 batteries since 2008.i was starting to believe the drop in battery voltage may trigger the airbag light but that wasn't it.what is draining these batteries?alternator is charging around 14.5 volts. I can disc. Battery, reconnect and radio stations are still saved.how?

I do not have any change of my vehicle (front sirbag or seatbelt). My jeep liberty 2003. My seatbelt driver is wrong, since date that i bought it.
I took my vehicle to the dealership to have the orc module replaced as part of recall campaing r06.the service writer informed me that after r/r of orc, they had to replace the front impact sensors, which was not part of the recall, and afterwards they could not communicate with the orc and it would cost me $100.00 or soto have issue diagnosed.i couldn't afford it and now have no air bags.also after leaving the dealership i noticed the pass. Seatbelt is in a constant locked position while the drivers side seat belt never locks even when brakes are applied. Fcasaid i wld need to pay for the diagnosis & iffound to be related to the orc recall fca would reimburse me but i can't afford the diagnosis fee.so now i have to drive a vehicle with no air bags and no seat belts.how can this be considered a remedy to a recall situation?fca stated that it did sound like it would be related to the orc recall.if that is the case why should i have to pay for the diagnosis?it doesn't sound like to me that fca truly cares about the safety of their customers.is there anything that can be done to get this rectified without cost to the customer? this happened in may of 2016 & i didn't know i could report the incident to anyone or should even question it until i spoke with a neighbor who used to work for a dealership who advised me to look into the issue further as he said it didn't sound right to him.

Air bags did not deploy after making 2 impacts, totaling vehicledear chrysler/jeepmy name is [xxx] and i have been the proud owner of a 2003 jeep liberty renegade.on june 3, 2016 i was struck by another motorist on my home from work. I commute every day from the southwest suburbs of chicago to downtown chicago. I have taken the utmost pride in my jeep, providing regular maintenance. In the past 6 months i have spent over $1500 in replacements.i recently purchased 4 brand new tires, a new alternator, a new muffler, oil pressure switch and an evap sensor.i have also made purchases to customize my jeep, by adding neon lights in the inside, seat covers, and a new stereo system.asides from all the love and attention i put into my jeep, there was something about my accident that scared me the most.after the other vehicle struck me, my jeep kept on rolling, hopping a curb, narrowly missing a tree and hopping another curb and totaling my jeep. I suffered a left knee contusion in the end.the real horror is that my air bags did not deploy. For my vehicle to make 2 large impacts and no air bags has left me with a complete distrust in the brand. If my life was at a higher risk or if i had struck that tree or any other vehicle on the road, it's sad to think that the one safety feature that could have saved my life, took no action.yes, a product liability lawsuit is possible because of this, but i want to ensure 100% that they?re may be thousands out there that put their trust in their jeep, not knowing that it could possibly be a fatal mistake.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Takata recall. I have received recall notices on my vehicle since july 2014. No jeep dealer in san antonio tx area has the parts. My vehicle remains unsafe to drive.
Takata recall--took vehicle to dealer in regards to airbag recall. Was told "parts are unavailable to fix this issue", but it was "safe to drive" as long as the airbag indicator light did not remain on full time. On the way home from the dealer, the indicator did indeed come on & not go off. In researching this online, i see "parts will not be available until late 2016!" i have called chrysler about being unable to drive my vehicle & was basically brushed off. The one person who was trying to help us, had us on hold so long calling around that their system hung up the phone. I can not sit on a car for a year, unable to drive it, having to rely on one vehicle for our family, and not have any recourse or compensation to offset our time & frustration.

I was stopped at a red light during rush hour at ~4:20pm waiting to get on the freeway (san felipe and feeder road of 610 / houston, tx).my a/c was running but the radio was off.i heard the warning chime from the dash board and noticed my airbag warning light had come on. Roughly 5 seconds later while still stopped at the red light, both the driver and passenger side airbags spontaneously deployed.after the shock, i noticed my hazard lights automatically had come on and i think the engine had shut off.i put the car in park and exited the vehicle.since my hands were on steering wheel during deployment they received the most direct blunt force trauma along with chemical burns (i later went to emergency room that evening).the car was towed to the nearest chrysler dealership. Luckily i was not on the freeway traveling 70mph when it happened.

I have attempted to submit my 2003 jeep liberty for recall repairs relating to recall n46 and r06 beginning more than a year ago to my two nearest jeep dealerships; tate jeep in frederick and century jeep in mt. Airy, maryland. When i inquire that i have received notices by mail instructing for recall repairs i am being ignored for service. Century jeep placed me on a call-back list, but i was never contacted. When i called after 4-5 months i was told i am still on the waiting list. A year has gone by with no further contact. When i inquired of tate jeep about recall repairs they will not respond back to me. I fought with century jeep for about a year to have my airbag recall addressed. Frankly, i am tired of begging and pleading with my local jeep dealerships to have recall work performed. I have been afraid every day i drive my liberty of having the air bag explode in my face or my gas tank exploding from a rear end collision. Can you help prompt my dealerships to address these outstanding recalls. I continue to receive recall notices on a periodic basis informing me that my recalls have not been repaired, but the dealerships refuse to do anything. Century jeep tells me that they do not have the recall repair parts in stock. They tell me that they only get a couple each month from chrysler. How much longer do i have to drive this death trap? i appreciate any help you can provide me.thank you,[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Did not start in the morning, was completely dead, check the battery and it was 12.42 volts,check the fuses and the relays (switch some of them to see for any changes ) and they were ok too. To keep the story short, it was the starter, but when i was trying to start the car noticed that when leaving the key on in the last click prior to start position, like 10 seconds later the airbag light came on making a sound and stays on all the time. When i took the key out noticed that the fuel gauge moved to the full position, put the key again and went from full to empty and then start moving to the actual fuel quantity. I noticed that if i took the key before the sound and light of the aibag, the gauge works fine, so when i am driving and have to stop i turn off the car and the gauge move to full again so i have to put the key on and took it out before the sound and light of the airbag came out again to "reset the gauge to normal position ". One other thing my power locks did not work with the beeper or with the buttons when the car is turn of off. Only works when the key is in the cylinder and in the position prior to start the engine, works on both the beeper and the buttons, all of this happens in the same day.
While turning from a green light i was probably going maybe 5-10 mph both my driver and passenger airbags both went off and man those things hurt badly but there was no car collision or anything they just went off out of the blue and there was a lot of smoke and left my ears ringing and parts of the dash came apart

This is a complaint about fca's recall implementation. Fca simply does not get parts out to dealers to get the repairs done. I have been wanting to get the recall work completed on the car but the dealers do not have any parts to do the repairs. All the notices do not matter if the manufacturers do not get parts out to complete repairs. Fine them if they don't get parts out to do the repairs!!!!

My airbag light came on back in june.after reading about the un-intentional deployments i went to the dealer and ultimately had the passenger airbag replaced (in july). A week later the airbag light came on again (i have picture on phone).i took the vehicle back to the dealership and the dealer (of course light was off by then).dealer claimed no fault code was on computer and could not find issue (although i did show them iphone pic).light did stay off in aug/sept but within the past week the light has begun illuminating, staying on for a while, turning off for a while, and coming back on.the vehicle is garage kept at night but the temp has gotten cooler within the last couple weeks. Not sure what to do except set the seat back a little more and cringe a bit. I wonder how loud an airbag deployment is? vehicle has approx. 31,700 miles.
The car had been acting funny , going fast then making a noise and going ok again. I am not a fast driver as in november my husband of 32 years , passed after being in a hit and run , from people with no insurance , my life is pretty much hell . I was starting to smell something funny like burning and i thought i maybe a tire or strut. I was at a signal second car in and loots of traffic , including school buses. There was a gas station about 30-40 feet from me , but the first car went in to get gas , so on second thought going by the pumps was not a good idea , so i put on signal and tried to pulled over . Carwere speeding past me and the car began to accelerate and it will to the right,i turned left or pulled to the left , crashed into a pole hard . Seat belt went flying off , air bags on side did not go off , but front ones did . I broke my leg and bruises, plus a black eye. Since the week before i lost my job , i am doomed , have to try to find a job , because i can:t my carget unemployment. I loved my car first and only car i have ever had.is there anything you could do to help as i have had many recalls and had them checked, but those is just so strange i thought i had .

This complaint is due to the fact that i received a notice stating that there was a defective air bag sensor in our car but that there were no parts to fix it.when will this be resolved?why can a company continue to ignore regulations that require it to notify and then address manufacturing issues?the public puts their trust and money into the hands of these industry giants.we trust that they will provide us with safe and reliable transportation vehicles so that we might exercise our constitutional right to free travel.recalls are designed to protect the consumer.sending a notice out with no means to resolve the defect is not enough and is just not acceptable.we need our car to get to work and school.we cannot walk or buy a new car while we wait for the part to be created to fix our jeep.this needs to be addressed.the air bag sensor light comes on everytime we start the engine.

On may 28th, 2018, i was driving my 2003 jeep liberty to see a friend. I had just gotten off the highway when my driver side airbag deployed spontaneously. Fortunately i was only going 10 mph and did not suffer major injuries, but i was cut up and concussed from the force of the airbag. I had my car towed to atlantic jeep chrysler in egg harbor twp nj. They told me i would be given a rental car and an investigation would need to be done. I waited 6 weeks to get my car back, as they kept pushing me when the investigation would finish. During this time i was ubering to my two jobs, as they need provided a rental car. They said chrysler would cover the rental once i got my car back and to provide receipts. Seeing how this company operates, i knew this would not be the case. They eventually decided to do nothing about my car. It was a tiny chip that made the airbag deploy (they admitted it was an issue) but that they would only replace the chip. I was left with 2.4k in repairs to my car. They refused to pay for anything, even though it was their chip failure that made the airbag go off in the first place.

We were driving on a busy street to go our house when we heard a warning tone when we were turning over a roundabout. After 10 seconds, the air bags blew up all of a sudden. It was fortunate that we are running only at 10 mile per hour or slower as it was rush hour and there was traffic. Also my husband was able to put on the brake to avoid hitting the car in front of us. We were badly shaken, traumatized and had bruises on our arms and chests due to some parts bursting towards us. The steering wheel cover and dashboard where the air bags were are pretty damaged. We totally cut out the air bags to avoid the repeat of this incident. My husband is now traumatized to drive the jeep. We also heard some strange sounds in the serpentine belt. We don't now if it's connected to the air bag explosion. Our car was bought second.the first owner who is american imported the jeep from the us and brought it here (another country in southeast asia). We are living abroad (not in us) and we don't know how we can file this complaint on the defects of the jeep liberty we are using. We hope someone can respond and help us. I am putting the contact details of my brother who lives in the us in the personal information in case someone would like to contact us.

(this happened about a quarter of a mile from home, so i drove it home). I have filed an investigation with jeep and am awaiting their call.

There are 12 active recalls on my vehicle. I don't trust the vehicle. I want a replacement vehicle. Some recalls are "incomplete" and cannot be remedied right now. I have had very bad experiences with jeep dealerships - they have repeatedly demonstrated that they were untrustworthy and either not doing the work they said they did or breaking something on my jeep and charging me for it. I think they should replace my vehicle another vehicle that either has no recalls or one that has passed compliance. No accident yet. Do i really have to wait for an accident? 12 recalls?
While driving for approximately five minutes the air bag light illuminated for the following ten minutes then turned off. When i next drove the car for approximately fifteen minutes the air bag light re-illuminated for approximately five minutes then turned off again. Had the car checked with an onboard diagnostics device, which did not indicate any problem.
Airbag light comes on intermittently. Stays on for several miles, then turns off. This happens repeatedly everyday. Why hasn't this been recalled and chrysler paid to fix this safety hazard??also, seat belt release button stopped releasing. It stayed suppressed in the release position not allowing the belt to lock in. After tapping it hard, it released. Then it froze in the locked position and i couldn't get out of the belt. Now it works, but i'm not sure if it's really locked and will release in an accident.
I was injured from unexpected airbag deployment jeep liberty 2003.happened to me yesterday, april 16, 2012. Thank god i was driving slowly away from my driveway. I heard a beep, look at the dashboard and saw the airbag light on. My reaction was to put my foot on the break, to lean back and my instinct made me to lift my left arm to cover my face. Boom!!! - loud explosion, pain in my arm and covered with a cloud of powder/dust. It took me a couple of seconds to realize what happened. The drivers airbag exploded without any reason at all. Seatbelt locked. I turned back to see if my 8 year old son was ok. Disoriented, confused, eyes wide open, but ok.just thinking the tragedy it could have been 1 minute later on the highway, definitely a bad accident and many lives compromised.added 1 injured per consumer interview.pco
I received a safety recall for m35/nhtsa 12v-527 (airbag system recall) the week of sept 23,2013.i contacted firkins chrysler/jeep motors, bradenton, florida to ask for a scheduled appointment.they did not have the part and i was told to wait until i received a second letter from chrysler group llc later on.they did not offer to order the parts nor did they give me any satisfaction.i immediately contacted sunset dodge chrysler jeep motors in sarasota, florida for assistance with this airbag matter.i was greeting pleasantly and asked when i wanted to schedule an appointment.i took my jeep in for repair on friday sept 27, 2013 and the service was completed in one hour.i was very satisfied and pleased with the courteous service.i doubt that i will call firkinsmotors if i ever need service on my jeep.
The vehicle went into the ditch head on and the air bags did not deploy. The driver ended up with a broken jaw, split lip and lost 5 teeth.
The air bag light came on and has continued to go on and off randomly. The jeep dealership in fort worth that i spoke to this morning said there was no recall.......now i'm confused.....is there a recall or not???
We keep getting recall notices on the air bags on our jeep.however, every time we take it to the dealer for repair we are told they do not have the parts to fix it.they tell us they will call when parts and solution is available.we have taken notices in to them 3 times and it is still not fixed as they say they do not have parts.are we being played by a dealer who does not want to fix this?or are there really no parts to fix this issue?

Recall r06: the air bag on my 2003 jeep deployed on my daughter while driving on the highway. The air bag hit her in the chest and face. I called the jeep customer line to let them know what happened and they said there was a recall for the airbag. I informed them that i never received a recall for the airbag. They told me the recall was from 1/2015. In 2015 i took my jeep to the dealership 2 different times for recalls i had received. July 2015 and september 2015. So even if i didn't get a recall notice the dealership still should have seen the airbag recall wasn't done. I have been going threw hell trying to get the fca group to fix the airbag and do the recall. This is the response they emailed my after i told them what had happened (this will further acknowledge contact to fiat chrysler automobiles (fca), regarding your 2003 jeep liberty.naturally, we were sorry to learn of the incident described to us during the initial contact.however, we have had the opportunity to review your case and must inform you that we are not led to believe that the incident was due to a manufacturing responsibility.) this was unacceptable my daughter could have crashed the jeep and died!! why would i lie about not get a recall notice that involves an airbag in 2015 but i had 3 other recalls done in 2015 after the airbag recall butno one noticed it wasn't done!!!

On 12/05/15 i received a recall notice for the airbags. I have called back several times and got no response. I believe this is a wide spred crisis and should be addressed right away.my neighbor recently had a crash and lost several front teethbecause the airbag didn't deploy.
My vehicle has a recall on the air bags and the vehicle can not be corrected. I was told the jeep dealerships do not have the parts to fix it. Also, the pcm component of my vehicle needs to be replaced and the chrysler dealership has discontinued the part, an aftermarket part can not be found and none are on back order. My vehicle is still under warranty and the warranty department is sending the pcm to have the part refurbished but will not guarantee the part. My concern is the cars safety is not guaranteed due to the recall on airbags and the pcm is the main computer part for the car, if it can not be guaranteed to be safe and running what are my options?

Either beginning of the this year or last month of last year, i receiveda letter from chrysler about a recall on my vehicle for the air bag, so before i turn in the my truck for service the air bag light don't come on at all, but after they fixed the recall issues, few months later my air bag light keep coming on and stay on, so i call the chrysler dealer who fixed my truck and there reply is that is not our problem that the airbag light come on when you drive. So here my question if the recall was call for the airbags in my truck why my airbag light now is coming on when i drive my truck, are they suppose to fixed the airbag or what, don't understand about the recall for the airbag but my light for the airbag is on.. So please help me to understand what should i do, now i afraid to drive my truck when i go to work.. So now every time i turn on my signal my dome light comes on and stay on for good 5 mins..
While driving the car, the airbag warning light came on for 15 seconds, then went off for 15 seconds, then flashed back on and off following that timing sequence for about 10 minutes.after 10 minutes, the light stayed off. I called chrysler because i had received a recall notice in january 2013 about faulty air bags in this model, which could inadvertently deploy while the car was in motion. The representative told me that the part needed is a harness, however, the part is not yet available.she told me there is nothing i can do to fix the problem until the part is created. I was also told that there have been no incidents of airbags deploying inadvertently, but there is a risk it can happen, therefore the recall. However this is extraordinarily dangerous and the fact that chrysler has no date for when the part will be available is unacceptable.
We have jeep liberty with the airbag warning light on at all times. We took it several times to the dealer, and they tell us that there is a recall on the orc, and that they cannot do anything about until they do the recall, but that there are not parts available. Inthe meantime we are driving without knowing if that airbag is going to deploy it in the wrong time or is going to deploy at all in case of an accident.is there any advice of how to get this problem fixed?

I bought my jeep off of my grandparents in october. Its a really nice jeep, only has 69,000 miles. That's good for an 03. Every car has its problems im sure. But mines on recall. I have had the airbag light come on and go off. And i comes on whenever it wants to. And it scares me because if the airbags go off, not only will i be mad, but you can bet, ill prob raise hell. Because i don't fell save driving a car that has the potential to have the airbags go off. Also i have noticed that the power lock on the drivers side works when i wants to. Like i have to hit it a couple times to get it to work. Not such a big deal. Also the cd player doesn't work. Like i've change all the fuses to try and get the door lock/cdplayer to work. And nothing changed. It make a really loud and annoying noise after the cd plays for awhile. That i don't car about. Also one day i got in my jeep. I don't know how because the door was shut and locked, but on the drivers side, on the inside of the door. Was nothing but ice. The door still opened and closed, no problem but, it looked like somebody took a gallon of water and dumped in down the inside of my door and it froze over. And that's the problems i've noticed with it. The only thing i care about is the whole air bag thing. I have received notice that it will be fixed, but will it be fixed for good. Because i don't feel safe driving around and doing my daily things, knowing that i, or my family, or friends could get hurt from the airbags going off. So i hope that whatever the company is doing to fix it works, because everyday i get in my jeep, that's the only thing that is going threw my head. Thanks

Since the spring of 2012 my air bag light has been coming on at odd times. Sometimes it is during braking and sometimes it is not. I contacted the dealer and they said there was no danger and no recall. Earlier this year i received a recall notice from the chrysler group. Safety recall m35/nhtsa 12v-527.my first call to the dealer was in february or march and i was told they didn't have the parts and asked me to call back in april. Since then i have taken may car over at least 3 times. The service manager, [xxx], insisted that i had to arrive no later than 7:30 am on a monday morning. He refused to give me any other appointment time. At the 3rd visit they finally looked at my jeep and confirmed there is an issue with the air bag. To date they have still not fixed it. Every time i call i get the same answer, "we don't have the part yet. We will call you when we do." i asked if i should go to another dealer in a different city, but he stated that they don't have the parts either. I have also called the chrysler group recall assistance center listed in the recall notice only to be on hold for a very long time and then get disconnected without ever speaking to anyone. My air bag light continues to come on at odd times. I am concerned that it will deploy when i am not expecting it. Can you help me get my car fixed? the dealership in question is dodge city of mckinney texas located at 700 s. Central expressway, mckinney, tx 75070. The service manager is [xxx].

Air bag light comes on and stays on.seems to only happen during the summer months.
I had taken my car into a jeep dealership in july of 2015 to get a recall for the airbags fixed. They told me that they did not have the parts necessary to fix it but that they would contact me when the parts became available. First of all i never heard back from them, i still haven't even to this day but i did receive an official notice for the recall in the mail. On april 3, 2016 i was involved in a head on collision which ended with me in the hospital with severe trauma to my spine and my car totaled. In this accident my airbags failed to deploy even though several sensors were hit in this accident. I'm very lucky that i am still actually alive but i am extremely distraught over the fact that i could have avoided injuries if my airbags had deployed. Someone needs to make this right. Attached is an image of what my car looked like following the accident.

Hello, our jeep often or always had the airbag light warning on the dashboard. This was a concern of ours, and we had heard awhile back that there was a recall on jeep libertys airbag. When attempting to take it in for the recall fix, the company wanted an amount of money that we couldn't afford. Recently my mom was in a car wreck, destroying the vehicles entire front and making it unusable. She told me she only received burns and that she probably wouldv'e been ok if the damaged airbags were fixed. She mentioned to me she received burns on her arms that were the fault of the bad airbags that werent any good. She would be willing to explain this better than i can since i only know that much. Her hand this morning is now swollen from the injury. The vehicle was in a head on car collision with another person set to enter the freeway on a city street

This is my second complaint regarding the recall on my jeep liberty 2003. The airbag light started coming on while i was driving. It would later go off. Sometimes it comes on while driving at a steady speed. Other times it comes on while the vehicle is stopped at a light. Braking does not seem to have an impact on it. I first reported this to the dealer in november 2012. They said not to worry. I received the first recall notice in march 2013 and a second one arrived the first week of october 2013. To date i have made multiple phone calls to the local jeep dealer service department as well as 3 visits. At one visit they finally actually looked at the car and confirmed it needs to be fixed. Today i spoke with the chrysler recall group assistance 800 number. First they agreed to help me get the dealer to honor the recall. However, by the end of the call i was told that chrysler still does not have the part needed to fix my vehicle. I was also told that chrysler does not see this as a high risk. Now i am certain that there are higher risks out there and i understand that corporations "play the numbers" when they decide what to do. But in the long run, if my air bag deploys unexpectedly while i am driving on the expressway at 75 mph i, my passengers, and surrounding motorists are the ones who will pay the price of this decision. Keep in mind that it has already been confirmed by the local chrysler service department that my air bag is defective. It could deploy without warning at any time that i am driving. It is not related to braking, speed, distance traveled, or anything that i can pinpoint.

I ran into the back of a lexus suv that was unexpectly stopped in front of me and the entire engine compartment and front section of the jeep collapsed forward at a 45% angle, pushing the entire front of the vehicle to the former location of the middle of the engine.

There is currently $8,000+ of damage to the front of the jeep liberty and the prestice dodge, in dallas, texas, has informed me that this is not a matter for them to deal with, because failed airbags are considered a factory defect. The vehicle was just surveyed for repairs today by allstate insurance and they are going to repair it, but after contacting the dealership "prestige dodge" and asking them to go look at the car to verify the airbags had not gone off. The dealership provided me with a number for chrysler 18009921997 to address these failed airbags with. I called chrysler and the customer service center stated that if the collision center had already begun work on the car that chrysler would refuse to acknowledge that the airbags did not go off and they would refuse to send an investigator because the collision center has already begun following allstates instructions to repair the front end of the vehicle. At this point chrysler customer service hung up on me.

My son was involved in a one car accident. My son was in the middle of a sharp curve on a 2 lane road when he noticed a car approaching from the opposite direction. The front passenger of my son's car estimated their speed at 50 mph. The approaching vehicle scared my son and he jerked the steering wheel to the right and hit his brakes. The 2003 jeep liberty skidded head-on into a ditch and then flipped end-over-end twice. My son and the front passenger suffered only minor injuries. No doubt the seat belts saved their lives but the front air bags did not deploy. The car was totaled by the insurance company.

Yesterday early evening, i was driving about 60mph on a highway in garland, texas, when all of a sudden my airbag deployed without cause. There was no impact to the car at the time of deployment, sudden stop or anything that would impact the deployment. It deployed, i lost control of my vehicle and went to the shoulder of the highway. No events that would lead to the deployment, not even the light that indicates "air bag. " it is now lit because it deployed, i'm assuming. This is the first time it has happened. The deployment of the airbag caused burns on my arm and a swollen wrist. I will take the vehicle into the dealership soon. Nothing has been done yet.

Power windows failing to stay up due to faulty regulators: two years ago the rear left window of my 2003 liberty fell into the door casing. When using the atomatic buttons, the window would not go up and the window motor would simply attempt to raise the window with no success. Upon taking it to the jeep dealer, they stated the window regulator neeeded to be replaced. After paying $227.94, my window was fixed and back to normal. Surprisingly, a few months later, the right window fell while driving on the highway (this is a major safety issue). Back to the same dealership we went, for a second and unnecessary diagnostic (the maintence man said this was a problem he had frequently seen) to determine the regulator was broken. I paid to have the second window fixed and continued to drive my car. This week, the left rear window fell again while driving down the street in my neighborhood (20 mph). I contacted jeep headquarters directly after researching online (inculding the nhtsa website) that this is clearly not an isolated incident and they have neglected to address the saftey issue with their automobile owners. They are requesting that i take my jeep back in for another diagnostic, and to confirm there has been no "neglect" of maintenance on my part. My jeep has just over 65,000 miles ' it is in perfect condition with the exception of faulty windows. Upon inspection of the dealer this week, jeep says they will determine the next step depending on the results. This issue is dangerous for multiple reasons - children riding in the car, the frightening noise made from the dropping window, lack of security when parking the car/at a stop, weather (rain, hail, snow, etc.), drivers startled by the drop and attempting to assess the situation while driving, etc. According to jeep headquarters via phone, they dishonestly claim to be unaware of the situation.

I have a jeep liberty limited 2003 leased on october 2002.ive had to bring the vehicle in for service seven times for the same problem and the dealer has not repaired it. The problem is that while driving at speeds anywhere from 30- 65andwhile trying to accelerate from a complete stop the vehicle will start to buck and hesitate, the speedometer will swing back and forth and the vehicle suddenly loses speed and then regains it. I've almost been hit by another vehicle on the palisades parkwayon three separate occasions. The failure started on april 28,2004 at 32,000 miles it now has 34,600 miles and it has reoccurred after all seven times of going in for repair of same condition after the dealership at central ave chrysler jeep in yonkers,claims to have repaired it. The dealership will not honor the warranty by properly repairing or replacing vehicle.

Two of the rear windows have failed. Both of them dropped for no apparent reason and would not work to close them. One of the failed in 3/2013 and the other one failed today while i was driving 60 mph on the freeway. I know that jeep has had many complaints regarding the failure of their windows. I know that it is going to cost at lease $300 to repair each window. I have not been able to afford to repair the first failed window. I have had to use duct tape over and over to try and keep it closed. Now the second window has failed and is trapped inside the door frame. Jeep needs to recall these defective windows.
All lights on veh flickered off for about 1-2 sec turned on and then quick flicker then on again and remained on. The first time i thought it was a fluke then it occurred a total of 3 other times within the year. Last was just recently 1/20/2013 and it shut off for a longer period of time maybe 3-4 sec. I was distance traveling on a high traffic highway at night and now see the safety concerns. Since the first occurrence i have replaced the battery. The entire light panel inside the vehicle as well as the exterior lights are affected. Other issues i have experienced since owning the veh in 2002 is the side passenger power lock no longer functions, still does not function. I have had to replace the passenger rear window regulator. In 2007, the glass just fell down one day did not break. Placed a stick in door panel to hold up glass and finally replaced it in 2011.

My vehicle has a recall on the air bags and the vehicle can not be corrected. I was told the jeep dealerships do not have the parts to fix it. Also, the pcm component of my vehicle needs to be replaced and the chrysler dealership has discontinued the part, an aftermarket part can not be found and none are on back order. My vehicle is still under warranty and the warranty department is sending the pcm to have the part refurbished but will not guarantee the part. My concern is the cars safety is not guaranteed due to the recall on airbags and the pcm is the main computer part for the car, if it can not be guaranteed to be safe and running what are my options?
My fan blower just works on high. My engine light always on. Rusting back doors. I have been waiting for recalls. I love my jeep!!!! but jeep needs to fix multiple problems. It sucks that failed components does not let you list specific parts.

I bought my jeep off of my grandparents in october. Its a really nice jeep, only has 69,000 miles. That's good for an 03. Every car has its problems im sure. But mines on recall. I have had the airbag light come on and go off. And i comes on whenever it wants to. And it scares me because if the airbags go off, not only will i be mad, but you can bet, ill prob raise hell. Because i don't fell save driving a car that has the potential to have the airbags go off. Also i have noticed that the power lock on the drivers side works when i wants to. Like i have to hit it a couple times to get it to work. Not such a big deal. Also the cd player doesn't work. Like i've change all the fuses to try and get the door lock/cdplayer to work. And nothing changed. It make a really loud and annoying noise after the cd plays for awhile. That i don't car about. Also one day i got in my jeep. I don't know how because the door was shut and locked, but on the drivers side, on the inside of the door. Was nothing but ice. The door still opened and closed, no problem but, it looked like somebody took a gallon of water and dumped in down the inside of my door and it froze over. And that's the problems i've noticed with it. The only thing i care about is the whole air bag thing. I have received notice that it will be fixed, but will it be fixed for good. Because i don't feel safe driving around and doing my daily things, knowing that i, or my family, or friends could get hurt from the airbags going off. So i hope that whatever the company is doing to fix it works, because everyday i get in my jeep, that's the only thing that is going threw my head. Thanks
After buying the car as jeep liberty renegade 2003 used at about 40,000 miles.the second time i drove the car on the interstate the car started stalling and running very rough.i limped in for about 15 miles to the repair shop and problem was diagnosed as a faulty crank sensor.that was replaced and car ran fine for 4 years.now with 66000 miles the car stall while driving at low speed.restarted and took car in and problem was diagnosed as a faulty crank sensor again, but part had to be ordered and car was running fine.so i decided to drive car while waiting for the part and next day the car would not start.when tow truck arrived car stated fine but had car towed to repair shop.the sensor was replaced but the shop still was having periodic stalling problem.it was finally diagnosed as a faulty cam shaft sensor which was replaced and now the car is running fine.looks like jeep has a problem with the sensors in the jeep renegade model.
When driving at night, the headlights and fog lights turned on and off every couple of seconds. I have duplicated the scenario on multiple occasions. Headlights work fine without the fog lights on. When fog lights are turned on, headlights and fog lights turn on/off. I have not used fog lights after a few attempts. Mechanics can not duplicate scenario. They say it may happen only while vehicle is in motion.
On several occasions my car has stalled. Prior to it stalling it would have power surges, backfire, the rpm needle would go crazy, and then just shut off loosing all power to brakes and steering.stalling would occur mostly at lower rates of speeds (under 50mph).it wouldn'tturnover immediately.i would have to wait 20 to 25 seconds each time and then it would start, almost as if the system resets itself.it's pretty scary when you have to young children and your on a freeway and your car all of a sudden stalls. The second problem i'm having is a very loud noise coming from the rear end. I pointed my side mirror down towards my backtire.i watched as the rearend made a load cluncking noise and it was as if the back tire was being pushed outwards.the third problem is my passenger side rear window just dropped into the door.the motor still works i can hear it.and last but no least my left turn signal blinks extremely fast and then sometimes it doesn't.my car is currently at the jeep dealership.i think it's kind of funny that the guy wants to charge me $200 to investigate the problems i'm having to find out what it is.thanks to everyone's complaints i can call him and tell him the problems, as if he didn't already know.goodluck to everyone.

My power windows broke in the back seat of my 2003 jeep liberty.
My key will not turn in the ignition of the 2003 jeep liberty.the steering column was not locked and i tried for about 20 minutes to jiggle/turn the wheel, jiggle the automatic transmission shifter, etc.the key was inserted fully because electrical came on to alert me that the key was in the ignition (when i opened the driver door the warning beeps came on to signify key still in ignition).the ignition simply would not turn.i had to have my car towed to a mechanic and have since learned from online research that this is a very common problem with jeep liberty's and many chrysler products.the solutions seem to be patchwork workarounds that people have come up with independent of chrysler's help.
Our vehicle began stalling out while driving on a main road. We pulled over and the vehicle would not start. When attempting to start it again white smoke began coming out. I called a tow truck to get us home. It was sitting in the main road and i had my children with me. The malfunction indicator light came on. The car started up again. We took it to autozone and the crank sensor showed up. I bought a crank sensor and took it to fuccillos in adams ny. They replaced it and said that the crank sensor was seized into the engine. When it was done i picked it up but the same issues began. They did a diagnostic which showed another faulty crank sensor, a cam sensor and there was gas in our oil. Then i was told 3ignition coils were melted. Then i was told another coil was bad. Chrysler said that when there is an issue with your crank or cam that the coils will remain hot even when the car is off. Looking on line, many people have the same issues-some have the same issues over and over again. I called to ask if there was a recall but was told not of yet.
My wife was driving her 2003 jeep liberty in traffic approaching a stop light. She bumped into the car in front of her traveling at about 10 mph. It was such a minor bump that the air bags did not deploy. The vehicle burst into flames from the engine compartment she barely had enough time to escape. The car is a total loss and the car is completely burnt out inside.
Headlights go out and hear clicking noise. This is a dangerous flaw. This is intermittent and the dealer can not seem to find the problem. In doing research there is a large history of this exact problem on the jeeps from years 2002-2004. The lights finally came on but on a dark curvey hill with cliffs could have caused a injury or fatal crash.
Ever since my issue with the headlights and foglights turning on/off began, i have a constant relay clicking noise to the left side of my steering wheel and my idling rpm's dropped.
While driving my 2003 jeep liberty sport, i heard a loud and distracting thud, only to discover that the back window on the drivers side had fallen into the door. The door also became jammed and i was unable to open it from either the inside or outside of the vehicle. This happened to the other back widow just 9 months prior to this incident. At that time i took my vehicle to an auto repair shop, and paid to have it fixed.i have read several complaints about this happening in the jeep liberty. The issue is a cheap, plastic part used in the window regulator. This is a design flaw, and chrysler will only replace this part with another cheap plastic part, rather than using a sturdier metal part. This is an expense issue as well as a safety issue. The noise the window makes when it falls is very distracting. All the doors and windows should be functioning properly in case of emergencies, and the driver should be able to control the windows, in order to avoid dangerous debris flying into the car, not to mention having some control over outside elements. (weather) chrysler really should do a recall, and stop charging jeep owners to fix what is their fault in the first place-it is a design flaw in the jeep liberty. Many reports from jeep owners mention this happening to the same window, or multiple windows over and over. There ought to be a class action lawsuit against chrysler.
We have made several attempts to have the recall repaired with union city, georgia at (770) 969-7229.we spoke with don jackson.each time, we were told the parts were not in and we would receive a call as soon as the parts come in.we never received a call back.we called again and again.each time, we are told the part is not in and we are promised a call back.would you kindly help.
My vehicle was being drivin on smooth open highway . The child in the back seat requested the back window be rolled up .this driver proceeded to depress button that controls the operation of the window in the back seat up or down and when doing so the window did not close all the way shut. This driver stopped to get gas and tried the switch once again . The window would still not close all the way .when window was touched at the top , it felt loose and easily slid down into the door and no longer worked to close at all. Diagnosis was made at a professional dealer quoting $300 claiming that the regulatory switch was broken .upon calling chrysler with complaint , my response was that this problem is at my expense because a- the vehicle isolder and the previous owner could have caused this problem . I strongly disagree that the age and number of owners of a vehicle warrants denial of recall and replace or the regulatory switch .this is a continual problem and hundreds of other persons have complained the same problem. Chrysler used cheap parts meant to break with no regard for its customers whatsoever. In my case children were in the vehicle back seat and this problem does impose a safety risk to children as well as financial burden on the customer. Chrysler is aware of this problem because they have remade regulatory switch and motor better built ony want customers to buy it . Regulatory switch should be recalled and re installed just like the hitch was , ts is no different a child is put at risk !
The contact owns a 2003 jeep liberty. The contact stated that the speedometer failed intermittently. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic who performed a diagnostic that located the failure at the speedometer sensors. The local mechanic replaced three sensors and the speedometer worked for one year before failing again. The contact was concerned because he was unable to determine at what speed he was traveling. The dealer was contacted and they advised that the failure would need to be diagnosed to determine how to repair the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was not available and the current mileage was 79,554.

The approximate failure mileage was 104,583.
While driving headlights turn on & off intermittently without any action from the driver. This is a dangerous situation when it happens, frequency varies from daily to once a week. Another (related?) action started happening at the same time, also intermittent engine will shut off while driving. Engine will usually restart but not idle without holding the gas pedal down. After turning off and waiting a short time the engine will start and idle fine for a matter of minutes or days.
The contact owns a 2003 jeep liberty. The contact stated that when attempting to start the vehicle, the ignition would seize and the steering wheel could not be turned.

I have an '03 jeep liberty and 2 years after we bought it, we started having trouble with the ignition cylinder. It started to freeze up and would not turn some times,until it got to the place it would not turn at all. So we took it to dade jeep chrysler in south miami,fl..and so they replace the ignition cylinder and tunblers [supposedly]. And that was in '05 and here we are in '08, and we're having the same identical problem again. And their telling me i have to buy another ignition. The jeep is just 5yrs. Old. I can remember when something like that would last the life of the vehicle.

Airbag light came on while driving to work. Researched online and saw this has happened in other jeeps.
Just got another recall notice..safety recall..m35/nhtsa 12v-527occupant restraint control module filter circuit this is one of many recalls..with no parts available..how many recalls will it take to recall this dangerous chrysler..how many accidents,deaths..money spent for a lemon..tell dan reed..i havenotified the proper higher ups..maybe they can handle this..since your dept. Cannot.
While driving the car, the airbag warning light came on for 15 seconds, then went off for 15 seconds, then flashed back on and off following that timing sequence for about 10 minutes.after 10 minutes, the light stayed off. I called chrysler because i had received a recall notice in january 2013 about faulty air bags in this model, which could inadvertently deploy while the car was in motion. The representative told me that the part needed is a harness, however, the part is not yet available.she told me there is nothing i can do to fix the problem until the part is created. I was also told that there have been no incidents of airbags deploying inadvertently, but there is a risk it can happen, therefore the recall. However this is extraordinarily dangerous and the fact that chrysler has no date for when the part will be available is unacceptable.
Window regulators keep on failing.i have had to replace the regulator in each window at least once, and 2 of them have been replaced more than once.i am about to replace my 7th regulator.3 months ago the regulator failed on my driver's side - back seat door.it got itself hung in the door panel and couldn't open the door, so had to take it to the garage to get fixed.this is not the first complaint, nor the last so something should be done to resolve these issues.the regulator itself still worked, but the housing the chain stays in would break and cause the chain to come out the door panel, and knock the window off its track and damage the glass!
Driving at night when i heard clicking noises near fuse panel left side of steering wheel column; shortly thereafter headlights flashed on and off for approximately 10 seconds. Problem became intermittent but usually occurred while driving at night. Clicking noises persist near fuse panel and headlights flash off and on. Dealership unable to duplicate problem as they said they have not heard of this particular problem, but they tried swapping headlamp relay with driver's door lock relay. However, this solution did not fix the problem. In fact, clicking noises are now heard every time i drive my jeep, and the headlights continue to randomly flash on and off. The problem now occurs during the day with headlights on as well as at night.this problem has not yet caused an accident, but driving at night with random flashing headlights creates a safety problem with my visibility and other vehicles on the road. Another area of concern deals with the potential responses from other drivers that believe i am flashing them for an aggressive reason. I found online discussions from others jeep owners experiencing the same problem, but i have not been able to locate how to fix the problem. Random flashing headlights, out of the control of the driver, presents a huge safety risk and should be investigated.
Headlights go off & on while driving, accompanied by relay clicking noise.
While driving with the ac on and without stopping, the battery indicator light turned on. The battery light went out when vehicle was stopped and/or idling. All information steers towards the pcm module and not the battery or alternator.
Transmission hesitates / lurches randomly.car stalls out, increasingly frequently despite repairs.when engine cuts out, lose all power steering brakes etc - so far only at low speeds but progressively worse - seems very similar to jeep commander recall at higher speeds.rpm needle goes wild after engine cuts out.can restart and limp a few miles, then need tow - 2x towed in 1 week, 3x towed in 2 months, and 4 trips to shop without results.car currently stuck upstate ny where i was trying to vacation -and chrysler/jeep not so cooperative.there's plenty evidence of stalling problems on internet for 4-5 years - see edmunds.theories:deceleration / rpms below 1000 make engine cut out.solenoid is pulling battery amps =12 and causing havoc in ignition system, short-circuiting sensors.thermal computer module damage.computer scans for diagnostic codes definitely not reliable.by relying only on computer module for diagnosis, dealers are only making the problem worse because they are sending cars back out without fixing root problem, causing more damage. I had wheel sensor found corroded 6/3, crank sensor fail 8/6 and cam sensor failed 8/10.sensors don't fail sequentially nor so fast.something is causing sensors to fail.and while sensors not working they are causing damage of their own...computer, ignition coils (all 6 needed repair in 1 case where burned out).who knows if the spark plugs, fuel pumps, injection cleans, and throttle body cleans work ornot.(some say tb cleanout is important if stalls are at lower speeds - less air inflow).battery seemed to have issues too soon - may be related.one case where harness wiring rubbed against rear something causing probs.my speedometer broke after 1 sensor repair.separately (unless water and corrosion are the real culprits) brakes and rotors wearing out - replaced 2x in 40k miles.not right.some blog on that, too.
At times over past couple years, vehicle has randomly stalled while driving, but then restarted.in december 2012 battery light came on, lights on dash/console dimmed, went off and on etc.vehicle stalled and would not restart.was in garage through january.mechanic has on computer, everything tested ok.checked alternator, battery etc. All ok.we picked vehicle up in january as was running for mechanic.drove home.husband next day tried to start and it wouldn't start.needed jumped, but all lights on dash going on and off etc and stalled again and wouldn't start.back to mechanic.just picked vehicle up again (mechanic has had since january).as soon as leaving mechanic, battery light came on.before we got to drive way, all dash lights went out and when stopped at stop sign, shut off and wouldn't restart.had to be jumped.got it to drive way, and will not restart again.

The vehicle needs to be rewired,which is very common!
.i have a 2003 jeep liberty renegade which i've had since 2004.since that time, i've had the rear window repaired at least 6 times for the same issue. The problem is that the window will fail ' weather you use it or not ' eventually and fall into the door frame. I've had this happen when parked, when using the window or just driving on the highway. It happened a few days ago again because my wife rolled the rear window down by accident (i haven't used either rear window since the last repair done a few years ago!).
2003 jeep liberty.consumer writes in regards to vehicle warning light illuminated.
We bought this truck and 3 days later the speed sensor went out in it. It was still under warranty so we took it to the dealer and they fixed it. About 7 months later the same thing went out. I have had this truck for about 3 years and we have put 4 speed sensors in it.

2003 jeep liberty renegade.can put the key in and turn, but car will not start.seems to be a common problem amongst jeep liberty owners, as i have seen many posts online with the same problem.apparantly a component of the steering column that connects to the ignition switch is defected.jeep should absolutely address this issue and issue a recall.
While i was approaching an intersection (the speed limit was 45 mph), i tried to apply the brakes and they were locked. My steering was also locked that i couldn't turn. Thank god the signal just turned green for me as i coasted right through it and finally came to a stop on its own. I am very unhappy with this vehicle. I could have been in a serious accident, or better yet, dead! i no longer feel safe in this vehicle. My lease is up in 11 months and i will no longer purchase a daimler chrysler vehicle.

The car had been acting funny , going fast then making a noise and going ok again. I am not a fast driver as in november my husband of 32 years , passed after being in a hit and run , from people with no insurance , my life is pretty much hell . I was starting to smell something funny like burning and i thought i maybe a tire or strut. I was at a signal second car in and loots of traffic , including school buses. There was a gas station about 30-40 feet from me , but the first car went in to get gas , so on second thought going by the pumps was not a good idea , so i put on signal and tried to pulled over . Carwere speeding past me and the car began to accelerate and it will to the right,i turned left or pulled to the left , crashed into a pole hard . Seat belt went flying off , air bags on side did not go off , but front ones did . I broke my leg and bruises, plus a black eye. Since the week before i lost my job , i am doomed , have to try to find a job , because i can:t my carget unemployment. I loved my car first and only car i have ever had.is there anything you could do to help as i have had many recalls and had them checked, but those is just so strange i thought i had .

Engine failure..engine will not run.an electrical overload causes main fuses to blow.the jeep has been with a jeep dealer for thirty days..with no solution in sight.
Turned left out of the doctors office, drove approximately 50 yards and attempted to stop at the stop sign (making a right).the vehicle's engine, however, began accelerating and despite applying extreme pressure to the brake, continued to move forward while the engine accelerated faster.i ultimately ended up throwing it into park and then turning off the ignition to kill the accelerating engine.i have no idea what the rpm was, but it was loud!this also happened 2 weeks ago (first time - very cold morning) and i ended up throwing it into park and turning off the key like today.todays temperature was around 40 degrees.fyi - i was in the process of making a right hand turn when this happened and had slightly turned the wheel.after the first incident, i began doubting that this had even happened.in hindsight, despite several blogs on the internet, i am absolutely positive that i did not push down on both the accelerator and brake at the same time.after todays incident, i immediately called our local car dealership to schedule an appointment and then attempted to recreate what happened.under various scenarios i bumped the steering wheel cruise control buttons (while stopped, while stopping, while accelerating) but could not cause the runaway acceleration to repeat itself. We have an appointment at our local dealership this friday, or as soon as we can drop it off.candidly, i'm scared to drive this vehicle at this point!

Wife was driving vehicle on rural road.no warning lights or buzzers but noticed engine temperature was increasing.she identified a parking lot a few miles up the road where she planned to pull into since the road did not offer a shoulder.just before reaching the parking lot the engine stalled out and she smelled oil. With the loss of power she immediately lost control and almost collided with the oncoming traffic.she was able to correct her steering before an accident occurred and coasted into the parking lot.she contacted me and we walked through the incident and she opened the hood.she described the engine compartment completely covered in smoking oil.i also reviewed the engine when i went to retrieve the vehicle and noted that it had apparently seized because the belt was off.the dealership was contacted but remains elusive to any problems with the engine even though there is an increasing amount of complaints concerning these engines premature failure due to "engine sludge" available online.thank you for your time in reviewing this potential safety issue.

Vehicle was maintained. Oil changed on a regular basis and now oil is leaking into the antifreeze. Mechanic said it needs a new engine.these jeeps are junk. Obviously there should have been a recall.
I have known 2 other people with this issue, i have been the only one with fire.my jeep is leaking oil from the engine seal that is just above the passenger side upstream exhaust (right before the passenger side catalytic converter.i smelled burning oil and i got under the car and there was a small fire which i extinguished with my rag.the problem is also a huge health issue. If you are stopped at a light, or stop sign and have the heat or a/c on. The interior of the vehicle becomes filled with the burning smell. Smoke bellows out from under the vehicle at these stops also. I am afraid of the thing bursting into flames at a light and being helpless.i know 2 other people that have this exact issue. One of them got rid of their vehicle, the other still has it.this is a major defect that will result in fire, or asi see it cancer due to the smoke entering the vehicle.i have to clean the oil saturated area at least once a week.
We was driving home from work and the jeep started losing power we pulled it over and turn it off.we sat there for awhile and then try to start it back up the engine was running real rough and it stalled.then it wouldn't start after that. We had a mech take a look at it and he said that the heads was cracked.we always done monthly maintains on the jeep.so after he replaced the 2 heads he started it up and he said it would lock up.now he telling us that it needs a new engine.i know a couple other people that has a jeep liberty and they are having the same problems..so cause of the bad head that jeep liberty have i now have no vehicle.
I have heard this is a very common problem with the 3.7 jeep motors. From what the mechanics have told me is the lifters pop loose in the head and the engine sounds like it has blown. The lifter rattles around in the cylinder head making all kinds of noise. My first one was in i think 2007 on passenger side and the lifter jumped. To replace the broken parts was over 600.00 and my second one on the drivers side destroyed everything in the cylinder head. The vehicle is sitting right now because i don't have the money to fix it so i don't know if there was external damage done as well. This is a verycommon problem on all of the jeep blogs with the 3.7 motor in my 2003 jeep liberty and should be recalled to fix the problem for free.

Called a towing company and had it towed home, and then to jeep dealership next day.they requested oil change receipts which i am tracking down from various oil change locations and gave me no answer to what the actual problem was when i periodically called to check in.do i have any rights here?7/70,000 full warranty and all they are telling me is i need receipts.i am afraid they will deny claim anyway, as several other postings indicate engine issues and denial.quote to fix out of pocket is $9,700which is high and ridiculous considering no one will tell me the actual problem with the car.an entire engine long block block is $2,600 retail.no reply to questions on rebuild.furthermore they want to charge me a daily storage fee because the car has been there 3 days (one day since they got back to me!!!) i feel this might be a ploy to get me to ditch fixing and force me to buy a new jeep.i can't get any answers!!!
Drove it the night before and it ran perfectly fine. No problems at all. Come out to go to work in the morning and turn the key and the engine was knocking really bad. So i turned it off and tried it again and got the same thing again. Took it to the mechanic which is 1/8miles away. He replaced the spark plugs and wires and still doing it. He said the engine has full compression. He can't figure out what is wrong with it. Not even a 100,000 miles on it yet. Very disappointed in jeep... The mechanic said i need a new engine. 3.7l 2003 jeep liberty and it have seen others having this such problem too. Jeep needs to step in and do something about it. I will ruin their reputation so bad by social media. Friends from all across the country and other countries will find out that jeep is a joke and does not stand behind their vehicle. I will never buy another product from them ever again!!! please jeep step in and do something for us.. Recall the engine for these car's!!!!
No warning just driving vehicle as usual and engine stalled in traffic,now i am told i need a new engine and after researching have found several other incidents on the net for similar failures, oil has been changed regularly, engine does have a little over 100,000 miles but this shouldn't just happen, others have indicated something about the valve seat slipping causing such problems i don't know.
Dt: the contact owns a 2003 jeep liberty. The crank sensor failed. The contacthas seen othersimilar complaints on the internet. When the crank sensor fails the vehicle willstall and cut off, causing aloss of steering and brake power. For instance one can be going 60 mph and the vehicle will just stop. There is no warning or lights to warn him.the crank sensor failed and vehicle willstop. Check engine light cameon afterwards but it automatically reset i self, causing the check engine light to go off in thirty minutes. This was the first time thishappened. But whileattempting to take the vehicle to a service station it happened several times. The dealership replaced the crank sensor and the cam sensor. . he has found on the internet the codes that gavea false reading for the cam sensor going out instead of the crank sensor.
I was driving on the highway (rt17) heading north, doing about 55 and got off at exit 120 or 121 and as i was driving down the ramp at about 35 mph during rush hour my car just came to a halt. I heard a ding ding, noticed i had no power steering or power brakes and coasted to the side of the ramp.it went from riding with no problems to just dead.i can't even begin to think what would have happened if i was riding in the passing lane or the middle lane of rt. 17 in middletown, ny.i probably would be dead.my son was with me also.i had to have the car towed home and my husband looked at it and told me that the spring had broken andcome off and the rocker arm and two clips. We still don't know how much damage has been done to the engine. Apparently, and this is from a jeep mechanic.in both the 3.7 and 4.7 engines, the valve seats are steel and the cylinder heads are aluminum and the two metalscontract differently and when they do the valve seats fall out of the head. I have seen this problem listed on the internet by so many people that it's unfair that jeep can do this to people.i bought this car with an inheritance , i don't have thousands of dollars to fix it.i have bought the rocker arm, the spring and the clips but still at this time need a rocker arm installer.this car has been kept up on all fluids and changes.
Front and back parking lights inside burned (i think it is called the sockets or housing) transmission place said there is something wrong in the engine or transmission, check engine light keeps coming on and sometimes the transmission sounds to loud, they can't figure out what it is.this veh. Is a family veh.we have kids and a grandchild.
Computer failure, engine cut off, interior lights, five window motors and glass..car should be recalled..safety issues.
The contact owns a 2003 jeep liberty. The contact stated that the engine was exhibiting an abnormal noise and the check engine warning light was illuminated. The dealer informed the contact to bring the vehicle in for diagnostic testing. A private mechanic inspected the vehicle and informed the contact that she would need to replace the engine. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted but provided no assistance. The current mileage was 135,000 and the failure mileage was 100,000. The vin was unavailable.
Three times in the past year as i am coming to a stop, the jeep's engine started racing, only by shifting into neutral did i stop before hitting the car in front.i needed to shut the engine off, because the engine was roaring.
My daughter was driving her 2003 jeep liberty on an interstate in a congested area when it began to shake and died, losing power steering and brakes.she was somehow able to pull over in heavy traffic without having an accident.it was discovered that it was a broken valve spring for an intake valve, similar to many other complaints for jeep libertys.this liberty only has about 60k miles and valve springs should be able to last 150k+ miles.this appears to be a relatively common occurrence for this vehicle and it should be unacceptable for an engine with this low mileage to have valve springs break.an engine failure at high speeds could result in tragedy and property loss.
Transmission and engine lights came on upon towing a coleman "yuma" pop-up camper.took in to dealer and dealer found that torque converter to be bad along with gear wear.transmission needed to be replaced and gear wear repaired.car has only 8,000 miles on it and it is the first time the car has towed anything.the car should not have had a problem since it is rated with a much higher towing capacity than the coleman "yuma" is.the dealership is trying to tell me that this is an isolated incident of a bad transmission, but upon further investigation with jeep forums on the net, 85% of liberty owners are experiencing problems with their transmission after 8,000 miles! one owner has had his transmission replaced 3 times!the dealership said this was covered under my warranty this time, but that it would not be covered next time.if the transmission is faulty on all of them, i don't want to get stuck with a lemon on a brand new vehicle!

The contact owns a 2003 jeep liberty. The contact was driving approximately 10 mph and approaching a stop sign when the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle proceeded to roll backward and the contact applied the emergency brake and was able to bring the vehicle to a stop.

The failure mileage was 67,000.
Vehicle stalls when driving.2003 jeep liberty sport/freedom.when driving, car felt like it was tightening, check engine light came on, rpm dial started spinning like crazy, and the car completely shut down. Towed to mechanic, told code registered cam shaft sensor.replaced!picked up vehicle, drove 4 miles, shut down again.if vehicle sits and cools off, it will restart.drove back to mechanic, he replaced cam shaftsensor - thinking it was defective.next morning, on way to work, stalled while driving again.so, three days in a row, same problem.very dangerous!!!!!!.this time code registered computer problems, and he suggested i take to dealer, as code part was covered under federal emissions warranty.took to dealer on friday, october 22 - 8 days now (also need to do recall work, apparently that's not high on a dealer's list) and he said he can't get it to stall, and his code is registering a transmission issue.i know i'm a 'girl', but it doesn't make sense that the car would completely shut down if the transmission had gear problems.the car completely shuts down!wondering why no recall - seems like other jeep owners have similar problems (reading threads on internet).i think dealer may be trying to save costs, because i told him i no longer feel safe in the vehicle and may trade or sell.he said part is $875, but can't guarantee that is problem, he has to clear all the codes 1st.how does he know the computer isn't kicking out faulty codes at this point?i say this because when we replaced the crank shaft sensor, the computer said it was still bad, although it was a brand new part.and, the mechanic did not get the code the dealer is getting now.seems like jeep has a problem, but no solution.btw, my 7 year/70,000 mile warranty apparently expired on may 24, 2010.

While stopped at a stop light my jeep liberty unexpectedly accelerated while my foot was on the brake.
While driving 25 mph a fire started in the engine. Consumer pulled over, and had the vehicle towed.dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.
Faulty evaporator valve - there was a recall for a different vin group, but this exhibits the same fault.
When i was sold my 2003 jeep liberty without a working a/c, i was forced to use my windows as a means of ventilation and cooling these past almost four years.(the a/c is another story.)my rear passenger window started to make gargling type noises as i rolled it down and up about two months ago.then my front passenger window began to make a similar sound.however, when attempting to roll it back up 2 weeks ago it would not come all the way up.as i pressed on the window button for a few seconds this coil came up from inside the door and the window would not go up any farther.so, i had a mechanic friend open the door to check out the problem and he said the foam piece (regulator) was broken.another friend and i researched the problem online and came across numerous unsatisfied customers who are dealing with the same issue!i got the number of a local dealership and the service person looked up my vin to see if there are any recalls on my liberty.to my dismay there are none.so, his guess to fix my problem would be $300 - 600...for one window!!there's no way i'm able to pay for even half of that outrageous cost!with one window out of commission, the rear passenger window is still gargling at me so i try not to use it.however, without a working a/c on these hot days it's such a disgrace to not be able to use my windows!plus, i drive a lot for work and transport people...not good!! today i came across this website.i'm not sure what this is going to do to help my situation (and others in the same leaking boat), but it was worth a shot.i'm tempted to go through the other websites to order the part myself and then fix it myself.is this a wise decision, or should i wait to see what comes of this complaint?it's a shame that big corporations are allowed to do this to their trusting consumers.from all of us "little people", we appreciate any help we're able to get from this ridiculous situation.

While drivingvehiclestalled.since purchasingvehicle in december 3, 2003had vehicle for service fivetimes. Dealer indicated there was nothing wrong with the vehicle.
Engine serpentine belt tensioner causing ratcheting noise and improper operation.this is the 5th tensioner.
Since purchasing in sept 02 have had vehicle in for service six times for numerous concerns, repeatedly for a clunking/grinding sound from the psgr sd ft, a severe pulling of the vehicle to the right, a vibrationwhen driving hwy speeds, and intermittent engine misses.dealership twice replaced the front end strut mounts which elimated the grind/clunk, but cannot ascertain the problem with the vehicle's instability (pulling) on the road nor with the engine misfires.an adjustment (off spec) to the alignment was performed by dealership which in turn caused the vehicle to pull to the left and also encouraged more steering vibration and worsened mpg- avg 13.21 mpg where initially i got 18 -20 mpg. Dealership claims that b/c roads are angled for water runoff, this likewise keeps my vehicle from staying on the road (!?) am currently beginning to experience a clunking noise from rear passenger side wheel area, but have not yet brought it to dealer's attention.
Ball joint failure three times.emergency brake on five speed never has worked properly.replace engine at 70,000.now the card end joint for the four-wheel drive is not working correctly.my biggest complaint is the ball joint failure for the third time.this issue also causes chain reactions in the tires i have had three sets of tires wear uneven and i wrote the company the first time to complain and got no response.i use my jeep to make my income and do not trust it any more.i do not recommend this vehicle to any one and will not pass it on to any family member.

I have a jeep liberty renegade 4x4 with only 38,000 miles on it. I was driving on the quickway (hwy 17 in middletown, ny) when my car dropped dead in the road with no indications of anything wrong with it.it had gas in it, it's fluids were all changed, etc.i found out later that the spring broke causing the rocker arm to drop out therefore causing major damage to my vehicle.had i been driving in the passing lane or middle lane of the quickway, my son and i would have been dead particularly if a semi was behind us or a major crash if in either lanes.fortunately, i was in the far right lane and could coast over to the right side of the road to relative safety.how can this happen in a car with only 38,000 miles on it?this, in my opinion is a safety defect in the vehicle.chrysler should be forced to recall these cars and fix them.i called the dealer just recently and was told that chrysler would pay for part of the repairs if i had the oil change receipts.my husband does all the maintenance on the vehicle, for the most part, he didn't keep the receipts.also, there are major complaints on the internet about this happening and the dealerships also know about this defect in the 3.7 and 4.7 engines from 2002 to, i believe, 2007.so, i am sure that chrysler knows about this.i am ready to take this information and head to the local newspapers to get them to put out this information and to put pressure on chrysler and the dealerships.my jeep has been sitting in the driveway since dec 8th, 2010 because i do not have the money to fix it.
While driving at any speed, the vehicle constantly pulled to the right. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The vehicle has been to the dealer three times for the same problem. The vehicle was also leaking oil from the oil pan.the mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the vehicle's pulling.
My wife was driving her 2003 jeep liberty in traffic approaching a stop light. She bumped into the car in front of her traveling at about 10 mph.

While driving my jeep liberty on the freeway i suddenly heard a loud clanking noise. At about the same time i realized my engine was dead and i coasted off of the freeway. My jeep would not restart and i had to have assistance to push it to a gas station. I called a towing company and had it towed to a jeep dealership where i was treated very rudely and horribly over a 3 to 4 week period where they requested numerous oil change receipts and berated me over the phone each time i called to check the progress of my vehicle. After providing them with my maintenance records chrysler still had the audacity to turn down the claim. I have changed the oil every 3 thousand miles with receipts to prove it. They are accusing me faulty maintenance and refuse to fix the vehicle. My vehicle has 41,000 miles on it and i have a 70,000 mile warranty. According to chrysler they are not responsible for it. How do they get away with this?
I have had numerous problems with this jeep.always detected a rotten egg smell dealer claimed it was the gas.after 1 year of ownership driving it in pennsylvania i could not go up hill without losing ground and smelling something burning.dealer unable diagnose.then in 05 starting having brake grinding and squealing, dealer also claims this is normal operation.i have had to replace the water pump and the catalytic converter and only have 34,000 miles on the car.also had a problem with smoke coming from the rear drivers side tire and burning smell on two occasions, also dealer is unable to duplicate.i believe the 2003 liberties have a problem and no one is willing to check into it.chrysler does absolutely nothing to help.
While driving on two different occasions, i experienced and burning smell from the drivers side rear wheel well and whitish smoke.on both occasions the car has been checked by the dealer who has been unable to duplicate and or fix the problems.
Dt: on september 19, 2005 smelled gas when the vehicle stalled,but it did turn over. The vehicle had been sitting for two days . Consumer got back into vehicle andsmelled gas again, however, consumer drove the vehicle, and then parked itfor about an hour and that was when the air pressure cover blew out and the air filterwas held down with metal clamps. It cut the installation in the hood of the car. Had it towed to a local mechanic.they replacedthe air filter, two crank sensor cams, six spark plugs, one map sensor, one injector, and air box and six ignition coils. Consumer contacted the manufacturer, and they said that the consumer should have taken the vehicle taken it to a local dealer, andthey will not reimburse the consumer. The service engine light was on and rmps were going up and down.
Our 2003 jeep liberty failed the state emissions test in april of this year.at this point the "engine indicator light was on. We were told one cylinder was misfiring.we took it to bertera in westfield for service.they ran a diagnostic and also said one cylinder was misfiring. They also recommended a tune-up.total repairs were $369.they also recommended "a good run of 150 miles to clean out the carbon build up from the miss firing before getting it inspected again.within 3 weeks the engine light was back on. The car was returned for additional service may21, 2007.final diagnosis took until may 24.problem was cylinder 1 valve burnt and cracked. The final cost to replace the heads on this engine was $3395.95.this does not include the $369 for the tune-up on a bad engine.when we asked for some financial consideration for the tune-up i received a lecture on auto repair is not an exact science.in closing, we keep our vehicles for 10 years, and get 140,000-160,000 miles, therefore we take care of our vehicles with the expectation that mechanical vigilance on our part will guarantee they'relongevity. This jeep has 74,700 mostly highway miles and a ruined engine.to us this is a serious failure in quality.
Re: important safety recall: n46/ nhtsa 13v-252the fuel tank on my vehicle has a chance of experiencinga fuel leak during rear end collisions.fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can cause an underbody fire & death!! {chryslers words}this recall was initiated july 2013, here it is nov 2014 & the recall was just completed, because when they issued the recall, it took them a 18 months to finally get the parts, & they still didn't have the parts, we had to go back a 2nd time, because when they ran out of parts, they forgot to let us know, yet they [motorworld of wilkes barre], sent us an email to bring our jeep in. A complete waste of time.they did give us 6 gal of gas for a wasted trip, cost of cancelling my golf outing, priceless$$$.the existence of a minimum standard does not require n.h.t.s.a. To ignore deadly problems,' the agency said.in its letter to chrysler, the agency cited 32 rear-impact collisions that caused fatal fires resulting in 44 deaths in jeep grand cherokees, and five accidents that resulted in seven deaths in the jeep liberty.chrysler's idea for the limited recall 'fix' is to install trailer hitches on certain model year 1992'98 grand cherokees and 2002'07 liberty vehicles. One big problem: research shows the trailer hitch is essentially useless in high-speed rear-impact crashes. As far as low-speed crashes are concerned, even chrysler admits the hitch will only provide 'incremental improvement in the crash energy management.'to make matters worse, some of the jeep vehicles that had already been involved in rear-impact fires already had a trailer hitch installed. Some good it did those owners.this is a class action lawsuit ready to happen

I own a 2003 jeep liberty and have had it for 2 years now and have every problem you can think of. My warranty recently expired 6,000 miles ago. My warranty expired at 75,000 miles and at 78,000 miles my air conditioner broke and had to replace that it cost me $900.00. Just yesterday may car would not shift passed second gear, i have an automatic transmission, i noticed it when i was getting on the highway. Lately i have been noticing that the transmission seems to be slipping but never could find the problem because my transmission fluid was always fine. So yesterday i went to aamco transmissions and they said it was the tcm so they told me it would cost $440.00 total. So they went to order the part but come to find out no one has it and the place that has all the tcm parts wont ship them till the 24th of september. So here it is september 3rd and i wont have my car fixed for the whole month of september. I don't understand why they wont ship them now. Also, they told me that they have been selling out of tcm fast because everyone is always needing them.

On 5-6-03 i purchased a 2003 jeep liberty.on 5-29-03 i took the vehicle to the shop for the first time(995 miles) for a possible missing in the engine.tech found the a/c overfull but no miss in the engine.the a/c was discharged and recharged to the proper level.this did not correct the problem.every 8 to 10 seconds the engine surges( what feels like a miss) and more frequent with higher rpms.the second shop visit was at 1,420 miles with same problem.no fix!the third shop visit was at 1,941 miles with same problem.no fix!the fourth shop visit was at 2,089 miles with same problem.no fix!the fifth shop visit was at 2273 miles with same problem.no fix!on the fifth visit a chrys. Service rep.(jim dupree) kept vehicle for two days.found the pressure in the a/c is going from 140psi to 180psi in less than a second which is what causes the jerk(miss) in the engine.cause: a sensor that controls the a/c compressor.this could possibly be causing the very low gas mileage(17mph on the highway).as of 9-12-03 i have not been informed of a fix.i was advised by the chrys. Cust. Service phone line the matter had been turned over to the dist. Manager matt witters and he has made his offer of a trade to a different type vehicle.i have never spoke to him in person or by phone.in the past several weeks i have been trying to find out what chrys. Is doing to find a fix but i have been unsuccessful.numerous attempts to contact mr. Witters has failed.i was also inform mr. Witters has tried to contact me but it has always been at times he was told not to call.i do not want to trade for another chrys. Product that i did not want to began with or i would have purchased another type.i want them to repair the one i have, give me another liberty(without problem), or give me my money back.that is not asking too much.i have been unsuccessful in getting any response over the past month.*ph
Groaning/grinding noise in the back wheels at slow speeds, mostly when leaving a parking garage, stop lights, parking lots.brake pedals not depressed at the time.noise increases when temperature is low and humidity is high.noise started at 1,000 miles (less than a month after the date of purchase).taken to dealership who at first could not duplicate the problem.i recorded the noise several times and played to the dealership service manager.in for repairs for the same purpose over 10 times during the 1st year, without success.issue is now with chrysler engineering who appears not to be in any hurry to fix the problem.dealership does not follow-up and does not communicate on the status of this issue.also never received the recall notice.took the car in for the recall service after seing your notice, and was told it might take a couple of months for the recall notices to get out.it's been 6 months, and no recall notice as yet.other issues with this car are another rattling noise that they can't fix.a weather strip on the driver's window that had to be replaced 7 times (so far) because it keeps coming loose.excessive vibration when on the highway at speeds of 70 mph.wind noise coming from every direction, can't hardly hear the radio.radio quality is so bad i can't use it.have to play cds instead.and chrysler won't do a thing to remediate the problems.*la
On several occasions my car has stalled. Prior to it stalling it would have power surges, backfire, the rpm needle would go crazy, and then just shut off loosing all power to brakes and steering.stalling would occur mostly at lower rates of speeds (under 50mph).it wouldn'tturnover immediately.i would have to wait 20 to 25 seconds each time and then it would start, almost as if the system resets itself.it's pretty scary when you have to young children and your on a freeway and your car all of a sudden stalls. The second problem i'm having is a very loud noise coming from the rear end. I pointed my side mirror down towards my backtire.i watched as the rearend made a load cluncking noise and it was as if the back tire was being pushed outwards.the third problem is my passenger side rear window just dropped into the door.the motor still works i can hear it.and last but no least my left turn signal blinks extremely fast and then sometimes it doesn't.my car is currently at the jeep dealership.i think it's kind of funny that the guy wants to charge me $200 to investigate the problems i'm having to find out what it is.thanks to everyone's complaints i can call him and tell him the problems, as if he didn't already know.goodluck to everyone.
While driving headlights turn on & off intermittently without any action from the driver. This is a dangerous situation when it happens, frequency varies from daily to once a week. Another (related?) action started happening at the same time, also intermittent engine will shut off while driving. Engine will usually restart but not idle without holding the gas pedal down. After turning off and waiting a short time the engine will start and idle fine for a matter of minutes or days.
Ever since my issue with the headlights and foglights turning on/off began, i have a constant relay clicking noise to the left side of my steering wheel and my idling rpm's dropped.
Driving at night when i heard clicking noises near fuse panel left side of steering wheel column; shortly thereafter headlights flashed on and off for approximately 10 seconds. Problem became intermittent but usually occurred while driving at night. Clicking noises persist near fuse panel and headlights flash off and on. Dealership unable to duplicate problem as they said they have not heard of this particular problem, but they tried swapping headlamp relay with driver's door lock relay. However, this solution did not fix the problem. In fact, clicking noises are now heard every time i drive my jeep, and the headlights continue to randomly flash on and off. The problem now occurs during the day with headlights on as well as at night.this problem has not yet caused an accident, but driving at night with random flashing headlights creates a safety problem with my visibility and other vehicles on the road. Another area of concern deals with the potential responses from other drivers that believe i am flashing them for an aggressive reason. I found online discussions from others jeep owners experiencing the same problem, but i have not been able to locate how to fix the problem. Random flashing headlights, out of the control of the driver, presents a huge safety risk and should be investigated.
On 3 separate occasions the headlights have flickered on and off and have flickered from brights to normal.
Headlights turn off for a few seconds then back on while speeding up and braking.
Light turn off & on random, for a second. Not safe to be driven at night.
Front and back parking lights inside burned (i think it is called the sockets or housing) transmission place said there is something wrong in the engine or transmission, check engine light keeps coming on and sometimes the transmission sounds to loud, they can't figure out what it is.this veh. Is a family veh.we have kids and a grandchild.
The front lights shut off during the driving
I was coming from palm beach from a funeral on i 95 north to home in palm bay florida time was about 9:43pm i was at a speed of 70 mph when my airbag light came on and then all my head lights and lighting in side jeep went out for about 2 min then came back on highway was very dark and was very scared this happen so when they came back on i proceeded home and about 10:15pm it happened again air bag light came on and all lights failed again came on after about 2min then proceeded again happened at 11 pm when getting off my exit off i 95 exit 173 air bag light came on lights failed again waited 2 mincame on again i left jeep running while the incident happened 3 time drove about 5 mile from exit to my home parked in my garage at time of 11:15pm .made a appointment at gator dodge on 6/10/15 @ 8am to see why this happened this was very scary moment had my wife and son in jeep also. Please see why this happen because we could have got in a accident if there was a lot of traffic at that time lucky there was not or i would have not been here to issue this complaint or my family also ! thank you in looking into this very important manner.sincerely [xxx]vin #[xxx]2003 jeep liberty sport 3.7mileage at time of issue 117398date of issue 6/7/2015mailing address[xxx]home # [xxx]cell # [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Premature rust through on window frame around rear hatch glass.most likely caused by water leaking through the rear upper brake light.
I was leaving from work going about 45 mph, i smelled electrical components burning,before i could pull the jeep over to the side of the road it shut off unexpectedly leaving me with no power steering and no power brakes,i nearly lost control of the jeep,by the time i got to the side of the road the smoke had filled the cabin,the smoke was coming from front drivers side dash. Now i have no headlights,wipers,door locks, radio,alarm,int lights,speedometer,engine light is now on. Mechanic investigated and found that the bcm has a large burn hole in it the size of a silver dollar,i was very glad that my daughter was not in the jeep with me that day,,
After turning on the headlights they flicker or go out completely while driving.there is also a loud clicking noise from under the driver side dash board while the lights flicker.i've checked many online websites/community forum sites and there are many postings about this same issue for just about every jeep make, year and model.many people have referenced issues with the multi-function switch.with the numerous people reporting this dangerous issue (due to the lights going out while driving at night and some people have experienced issues with aggressive driver thinking the person in the jeep was flashing their lights in an aggressive manner) i'm surprised their isn't a recall or technical service bulletin...the local dealerships have confirmed on multiple calls they were not aware of any technical service bulletin for the lighting issue.
3 of the 4 driver side seat mounting brackets broke where the seat mounts to the floor.this is dangerous and i fear that driver's seat will come completely unattached from floor of vehicle in an accident, sudden stop or very soon!many others seem to have these exact same problems with seat mounting brackets. Jeep, chrysler nor dealers will help with these problems!interior lights come on by themselves unexpectedly and sometimes will not shut off when attempts are made to switch them off.light switch control seems sporadic and defective. I fear a short circuit resulting in electrical fire from defective light switch control.
Headlights begin to flicker off and on then they go out for several seconds while driving in the dark needless to say. Then come back, then continue to flicker off and on numerous times before staying on for a period of time. This can cause a serious accident and is not safe for no one. A recall should be made for jeep liberty. After looking up the problem on headlights flickering i noticed that there are many complaints about this issue. Please check into the matter as soon as possible. [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Headlights go off & on while driving, accompanied by relay clicking noise.
Computer failure, engine cut off, interior lights, five window motors and glass..car should be recalled..safety issues.
2 weeks after having recall work performed at the dealer, i was driving at night and all of the car lights turned off, the car seemed like it wanted to stall but it did not. This same occurrence has now happen 3 more times.
While driving with the lights on they flicker on & off and there is a loud clicking noise from the steering column.it has happened quite often while driving through town and on the interstate.this is a safety risk, especially if other drivers think that you are flashing your lights at them.
Headlights go out and hear clicking noise. This is a dangerous flaw. This is intermittent and the dealer can not seem to find the problem. In doing research there is a large history of this exact problem on the jeeps from years 2002-2004. The lights finally came on but on a dark curvey hill with cliffs could have caused a injury or fatal crash.
1. When the headlights are turned on, sometimes they blink at random times.2. It occurs at random times when the headlights are turned on, could cause problems as sometimes they are turned off completely for seconds and then turn on.3. Nothing has been done to correct the problem as the car is out of warranty and the dealer will charge me for a diagnostic.
Headlights going off for no reason.
The headlights on my jeep turn themselves on and off randomly. When the lights turn on and off there is a "clicking" noise inside the car near the drivers seat/dashboard. This has been happening since october/november 2010 and after several mechanics have tried to troubleshoot there has been no way to rectify and diagnose the problem since it is an intermittent issue. This is a major safety issue and could cause an accident that could involve many vehicles and maybe death of some passengers and drivers due to the ability not to see my vehicle. I recommend that chrysler place a recall on this issue asap since i am not the only liberty owner that has this issue. It seems to be affecting liberties crossing over several years in this time frame.

Airbag light came on while driving to work. Researched online and saw this has happened in other jeeps.
While driving headlights momentarily shut off . There is a click under the dash, and they go off when on low beam, if on high beam they switch to low beam. Had this problem occur several times. My mechanic is un able to find the problem, and from checking with other liberty owners this is a recurring issue.it is not only annoying but extremely dangerous.
When driving at night, the headlights and fog lights turned on and off every couple of seconds. I have duplicated the scenario on multiple occasions. Headlights work fine without the fog lights on. When fog lights are turned on, headlights and fog lights turn on/off. I have not used fog lights after a few attempts. Mechanics can not duplicate scenario. They say it may happen only while vehicle is in motion.

All lights on veh flickered off for about 1-2 sec turned on and then quick flicker then on again and remained on. The first time i thought it was a fluke then it occurred a total of 3 other times within the year. Last was just recently 1/20/2013 and it shut off for a longer period of time maybe 3-4 sec. I was distance traveling on a high traffic highway at night and now see the safety concerns. Since the first occurrence i have replaced the battery. The entire light panel inside the vehicle as well as the exterior lights are affected. Other issues i have experienced since owning the veh in 2002 is the side passenger power lock no longer functions, still does not function. I have had to replace the passenger rear window regulator. In 2007, the glass just fell down one day did not break. Placed a stick in door panel to hold up glass and finally replaced it in 2011.

Received jeep recall n46/nhtsa 13v-252 for fuel tank issues on this vehicle on 7 may14.when i contacted the dealer, i was told chrysler had not released the parts to make the repair.i think a month is outside the reasonable time limit to correct this problem.
More than a year after this vehicle was recalled, jeep/chrysler has still not made parts available to correct the problem with my vehicle - calls to the manufacturer and local dealership and manufacturer have not yielded any concrete actions beyond "parts should be available" in august 2014. This defect is listed as a "safety" issue by the manufacturer and yet has been allowed to go uncorrected for an extended period of time - this situation is shameful and places drivers at risk.

It has been almost a year since a recall was issued due to the fuel tank having a chance of experiencing a fuel leak during a rear end collision.chrysler sent a recall letter stating that a trailer hitch would be installed to better manage crash forces in impacts.they said the parts required were currently not available.i have had no further information from them.today i call a local jeep dealer and requested the cost of a trailer hitch and was given a price.when i told them my jeep was part of the recall and there should be no cost i was told that the recall trailer hitch is different and chrysler has not released them.i think they are just stalling - a trailer hitch is a trailer hitch,i am concerned for my safety and believe that they should be required to make the fix now.

I received a recall notice approximately 1/1/2014 for nhtsa 13v-252,and have been to the dealer three times to resolve but they never have the parts. The dealer claims that chrysler is not sending adequate quantities for demand (chrysler recall # n46). I have reached out to the chrysler group recall assistance center twice, and have been sent back to the dealer both times with no resolution. It has been an unreasonable amount of time, and i am requesting assistance from the administrator of the nhtsa for assistance in resolving this matter. The vehicle was repaired.

When getting gas, the overflow did not register and a bunch of gas spilled out everywhere. About a week ago, my check engine light came on and the error code listed the evap leak which includes gas fumes leaking out.

I have attempted to submit my 2003 jeep liberty for recall repairs relating to recall n46 and r06 beginning more than a year ago to my two nearest jeep dealerships; tate jeep in frederick and century jeep in mt. Airy, maryland. When i inquire that i have received notices by mail instructing for recall repairs i am being ignored for service. Century jeep placed me on a call-back list, but i was never contacted. When i called after 4-5 months i was told i am still on the waiting list. A year has gone by with no further contact. When i inquired of tate jeep about recall repairs they will not respond back to me. I fought with century jeep for about a year to have my airbag recall addressed. Frankly, i am tired of begging and pleading with my local jeep dealerships to have recall work performed. I have been afraid every day i drive my liberty of having the air bag explode in my face or my gas tank exploding from a rear end collision. Can you help prompt my dealerships to address these outstanding recalls. I continue to receive recall notices on a periodic basis informing me that my recalls have not been repaired, but the dealerships refuse to do anything. Century jeep tells me that they do not have the recall repair parts in stock. They tell me that they only get a couple each month from chrysler. How much longer do i have to drive this death trap? i appreciate any help you can provide me.thank you,[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Took jeep to al serra grand blanc mi to install trailer hitch per recall - said they could not install due to rust - yet jeep has listed recall repair as completed even though no installation was done. Despite numerous calls to jeep it is still listed as completed. I would like the recall to be shown as incomplete in their records. I believe this is a falsification of records.

Hello, our jeep often or always had the airbag light warning on the dashboard. This was a concern of ours, and we had heard awhile back that there was a recall on jeep libertys airbag. When attempting to take it in for the recall fix, the company wanted an amount of money that we couldn't afford. Recently my mom was in a car wreck, destroying the vehicles entire front and making it unusable. She told me she only received burns and that she probably wouldv'e been ok if the damaged airbags were fixed. She mentioned to me she received burns on her arms that were the fault of the bad airbags that werent any good. She would be willing to explain this better than i can since i only know that much. Her hand this morning is now swollen from the injury. The vehicle was in a head on car collision with another person set to enter the freeway on a city street

Turned left out of the doctors office, drove approximately 50 yards and attempted to stop at the stop sign (making a right).the vehicle's engine, however, began accelerating and despite applying extreme pressure to the brake, continued to move forward while the engine accelerated faster.i ultimately ended up throwing it into park and then turning off the ignition to kill the accelerating engine.i have no idea what the rpm was, but it was loud!this also happened 2 weeks ago (first time - very cold morning) and i ended up throwing it into park and turning off the key like today.todays temperature was around 40 degrees.fyi - i was in the process of making a right hand turn when this happened and had slightly turned the wheel.after the first incident, i began doubting that this had even happened.in hindsight, despite several blogs on the internet, i am absolutely positive that i did not push down on both the accelerator and brake at the same time.after todays incident, i immediately called our local car dealership to schedule an appointment and then attempted to recreate what happened.under various scenarios i bumped the steering wheel cruise control buttons (while stopped, while stopping, while accelerating) but could not cause the runaway acceleration to repeat itself. We have an appointment at our local dealership this friday, or as soon as we can drop it off.candidly, i'm scared to drive this vehicle at this point!

The 2003 jeep liberty was built with a danger to fuel tank.it is 6-14-2014 and they still have not fixed this. I have three grand kids that ride with me. When will they fix this?i'm told they are working on it. What do i do if my grand children are hurt from this?
The support straps for the fuel tank failed suddenly after making a left turn. The fuel tank contacted the road surface for a short time (1 minute) before the vehicle could be stopped. The rear corner of the tank (passenger side) was damaged to the point that fuel leaked from the tank.both support straps were broken after the incident. The tank was approximately 1/4 full prior to the incident. Both of the support straps failed near the bottom of the fuel tank.the remaining pieces of the support straps were still fastened to the frame and the fasteners were still in place after the incident. Both support straps were severely rusted.although we are disappointed that this incident happened, we are grateful that no one was hurt. We realize the outcome could have been a lot worse.

Recall notice: n46/nhtsa 13v-252.i received my first recall notice close to a year ago. I've called the dealer numerous times to schedule my jeep for repair and have been told each time that chrysler corp has not released the work notes or the parts to them and are unable to make the repair.i have been told this story four times in the past year and i find it hard to believe that chrysler corp would send recall notices to me, and periodic letters telling me the importance of this recall repair to then not have the parts available.i believe that my dealer is not scheduling these repairs.the dealer is:burdick dodge chrysler jeep located at 5885 e. Circle drive, cicero, ny13039, (315) 699-3846.i really want my repair to be made but there isn't another local jeep repair shop to go to.
My 2003 jeep liberty was recalled in 2015 because of an exploding gas tank problem.i took it to a dealership but they refused to fix the problem, saying that rust on the threads of the frame mounting holes prevented them from mounting a hitch to fix the problem. I asked them if they could thread a bigger hole, use a bolt and nut,or just weld the needed repair part on - they refused. I just this day took my jeep to a different dealership to have a different recall repaired so i asked them to check chrysler - jeep records on my jeep and they have it listed as satisfied for the exploding problem. This is not true, they refused to fix it even after several e-mails to them. Now i see that there are still problems with the jeeps exploding even after repairs have been made. How do i go about making this company do a proper repair on my jeep?

Regarding recall n46/nhtsa 13v-252:i responded to a jeep dealership (st. Clair, mi) to have the recall related repair made.i was told by dealership staff the repair could not be completed as the vehicle's frame was "too corroded."though my vehicle was covered in the recall, the dealership did not complete the repair.instead, they asked i sign a form acknowledging the frame was too corroded.i refused to sign that form.i took my vehicle to a local repair shop, who advised they found no such corrosion.

There are 12 active recalls on my vehicle. I don't trust the vehicle. I want a replacement vehicle. Some recalls are "incomplete" and cannot be remedied right now. I have had very bad experiences with jeep dealerships - they have repeatedly demonstrated that they were untrustworthy and either not doing the work they said they did or breaking something on my jeep and charging me for it. I think they should replace my vehicle another vehicle that either has no recalls or one that has passed compliance. No accident yet. Do i really have to wait for an accident? 12 recalls?

On my 2003 jeep liberty renegade while driving home on i-15 the door light came onthe dash it was obvious a window was also open as the on rush of wind, i pulled over to find the back door was ajar and the window was down, i pulled on the handle to check it out and close the door, and a red looking type of coil approx 10 inches long was sticking out and laying across the door lock and jamming the door locking device inside the door, i had to shove it back into the door lock assembly to get the door shut. This red coil is the mechanism that controls the window as my left rear window regulator has failed and the window stays all the way down. This is an ongoing problem with all four windows, the last time it was in for repair was 4 months ago and it cost me money each time, this is the second time it has caused the door to pop open while the vehicle was moving. I have had it in for window regulator problems approx 12 times. Thank you for looking into this for me as thedodge reps just shrug their shoulders like they don't believe it or just don't care. Something has to be done about this hazard,lemon law, national news, class action , something. Next time i will take a photo , and call witnesses.
Six times windows (both sides, front and back) have fallen at different times inside the door of my jeep liberty.today the falling window also resulted in the door not being able to open. This definitely is a hazard when you have small children riding in the back seat -- since they cannot ride in the front due to the air bags.this is a well-known hazard to chrysler jeep and they will not waive the cost of the repair or the deductible on the warranty.and the problem keeps happening.i figure that a window on this vehicle lasts about 10,000 miles because i only have 66,000 miles and this is the sixth time it has happened.this is dangerous and there should be a recall on this problem and the problem should be permanently repaired free of charge.
The swing gate will no longer open. Ive seen numerous online complaints about the swing gate lock malfunctioning. When pulling on the swing gate handle, only the window unlocks and opens. Both locks used to operate but now only the window lock is functional. Please help. This seems to be a very popular issue for jeep liberty 2003.
Our 2003 jeep liberty has a defect that has a tsb on it.it was supposed to have been repaired by a dealer in may 2004.in chryslers notification to customers, they claim that the rear flip up window may open if water gets into the switch, only if vehicle is un-locked.that un-locked statement is false and we have had it happen 2 or 3 times with vehicle locked.this is a safety issue as it would allow a person to enter the vehicle through the rear lift glass, unknown to the operator and would expose the operator to theft and assault.chrysler outright lied about the unlocked condition as the lock is powered at all times and only needs to be grounded to operate.
I'm having trouble with the door locks, at first i started hearing a buzzing noise when i would push the button to lock the doors, now the lock does not come up at all even when using the key chain opener. I locked myself out of the car when i left the keys in to get the mail and when i returned the car was locked. The button does not come up, not even when i pull on it.
My wife owns a 2003 jeep libertycar would not stop when the emergency brake was applied almost hit another car on a hill./incline.found that chrysler lied about the rare emergency brake being self adjusting.we found after removal of the drum that the brake is not self adjusting.the brake needs to be adjusted everytime at the dealer.chrysler knows about this and has hid this items from the consumer.even auto parts shop know of this and sell an adjusting toolthe adjustment needs to be made from underneath the car through a port on the inside brake hub assembly.this is a serious safety hazard that if in a crisis the emergency brakes needs to be deployed it will fail and a severe outcome is evident. There is no way a consumer can get under the car everytime to mask this adjustment.i thought it was the law to have a self adjusting emergency brake on a vehicle.i am sending the dealership a certified letter regarding this in case there is an unfavorable outcome from an event due to this safety hazard. This is an immediate safety hazard that needs immediate correction.dealer actually allowed vehicle back on highway to consumer in a non working condition.
Ball joint failure three times.emergency brake on five speed never has worked properly.replace engine at 70,000.now the card end joint for the four-wheel drive is not working correctly.my biggest complaint is the ball joint failure for the third time.this issue also causes chain reactions in the tires i have had three sets of tires wear uneven and i wrote the company the first time to complain and got no response.i use my jeep to make my income and do not trust it any more.i do not recommend this vehicle to any one and will not pass it on to any family member.
Parking brake in place while going into store not working properly caused vehicle to roll down street causing a collision with another vehicle. Also while in vehicle stop level surface parking brake engaged vehicle in neutral car rolled 3-4 feet.
Consumer parked the vehicle in a parking lot with the emergency brake on. Whenconsumer returned to the vehicle henoticed that the vehicle had popped out of park and rolled into a ditch. Consumer was able to drive the vehicle to the dealership for inspection.
Parking brake failure while loading my boat nearly cost my son and myself our lives.backed truck and trailer onto ramp to load boat.noticed the truck slipping on the ramp and suddenly rolled off the ramp hitting my boat and my son had to crawl out the door and swim for safety.he is six years old.vehicle was not running with the transmission in gear and the parking brake engaged.
Break line came apart in the middle between the fire wall and the brake caliper.
When decelerating through 30 mph, clump sound and slight jerk.accelerates through 30 mph smoothly.
Going 60mph, my engine light flashed then vehicle died.i was stuck on the freeway, after a minute was able to restart (though car shaking badly) and get to the side.it was immediately towed to the mechanic, and they diagnosed a broken valve spring, and said it's an extremely rare occurrence for a vehicle this age.it?s a 2003 jeep liberty with 91000 miles.other than the valve spring, the engine is in great condition. There's concern about replacing it because he feels it could be a factory defect, and there?s another spring valve, so we're deciding whether to replace both, or the whole engine. In researching we've found this seems a common problem with liberty's 2002-2005, and i assume only a small percentage of people are actually writing about it.the mechanics talked to say they've seen it before in the liberty's too.a good site for comments about the liberty's is http://www.carsurvey.org/reviews/jeep/liberty/r95082/comments/.also found; 1)replacement parts listedare refurbished, or new.there's no refurbished available, only new.could mean there's a flaw so they wouldn't want to refurbish the old ones, because you would have the same problem, so a new one, with better components are the only ones available. 2)i stated the flaw seems to appear 2002-2005, and when looking at the valve spring2003 part# vs 2006 part#, 2006 the number changed, which might mean they figured it out, and put the updated part in the 2006 model.it seems to be the intake valve, not exhaust valve with defect, and in the 2003/2006 part numbers the intake# is different, but exhaust# is the same. I called jeeps nat'l customer complaint center, filed complaint, was given the runaround, and was told because my mechanic was not chrysler, they couldn't trust his findings.i was repeatedly told my car was old, yet alot of people reported the same thing; their mechanics say it?s a very rare occurrence that a valve spring breaks, especially with the mileages being reported.
Intermittent failure to start leading to complete failure so the 2003 jeep liberty had to be towed to the dealer.after over $500 dollars worth of work to replace the main computer module the jeep started for only 10 days, then the intermittent trouble returned, they replaced the battery, the jeep had no problems now its dead, they have replaced the ignition switch, now thetumbler and new keys, the total is at $300+ and still have a dead jeep. There are 100s of complaints just like this one on the web indicating something is defective!!please help!
Applied brakes to stop vehicle, put transmission into park, turned key off, removed key, opened driver door, took foot of brake pedal, exited vehicle,started to walk behind vehicle, noticed vehicle drifting towards me, opened driver door, attempted to jump in to apply brakes, tumbled halfway out of vehicle (strained neck and knee), pulled myself in by the steering wheel, applied brake as vehicle hit parked pickup truck, started vehicle, moved back into previous parking space, applied brakes, put transmission into park, turned off key, took foot of brake pedal, vehicle started to drift (again), applied foot brake and emergency brake, vehicle stopped.
Transmission is leaking,brakes squeal when you are backingup. They say it is from dew. It's in the garage at night. The steering is my main concern.it pulls so hard to the right. It's an accident waiting to happen.
Takata recall i am on my second rear gear in my freedom edition with the limited slip differential. They seem to start whinnying around120,000 miles the differential bearings start to abnormality wear causing the ring and pinion to wear prematurely which cause the gearingto slip wearing the teethit's a very costly fix at 1,000 just for that type of special rear endthe danger of it is the teeth could permanently slip on take off causing the flowing vehicle to rear you which could allow another serious problem of the libertys not having proper rear protection on low speed impact which could cause fire
The contact owns a 2003 jeep liberty. While driving at various speeds, the speedometer became inoperable and the check engine warning light illuminated intermittently. In addition, the contact stated that while driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle stalled as the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where it was diagnosed that the speedometer and rear center differential sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The contact mentioned that the speedometer sensor was replaced six times. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 137,000.
I am the second owner of this vehicle, when i acquired it, i had it serviced at the dealership and they preformed all recall work. It has been kept serviced and up to date on any recall work since. During the day on christmas eve 2019 i was returning home from a visit at my mother's home and suddenly lost control of the jeep. There was loud noise and things breaking off the vehicle as i fought to control it and pull over. Upon inspection, saw the passenger side front wheel had come loose from the suspension, tore off the fender wheel well and broke a piece off the right-side running board. Undriveable, i had it towed to my mechanic. Unfortunately, they were closed until after new years. In early january i found out the diagnosis was a sheared lower ball joint failure. I looked in my files and found that this was one of the recalls that had been preformed to the vehicle. Safety recall f23- lower ball joints was done on 8/1/2006. Obviously, you assume this problem is resolved and the vehicle is safe after the work is done. I luckily was traveling at 30mph, and not at highway speed, so i have only encountered a financial burden. (about $4k for rental, repair & bodywork) i am sure if i was going faster or in traffic, i would have been injured or killed. How do the thousands of jeep liberty owners still on the road who are up to date on recalls confidently drive their vehicles if the recall work fails in the exact manner described as the problem meant to be fixed by the recall? i've been driving for close to 40 years and have never had any vehicle suffer a catastrophic failure resulting in a crash before this.
While i was driving westbound on washington avenue approaching main street the transmission began slipping. Upon closer examination i discovered the transmission fluid was leaking along the fresh fallen snow behind me.
I own a 2003 jeep liberty and have had it for 2 years now and have every problem you can think of. My warranty recently expired 6,000 miles ago. My warranty expired at 75,000 miles and at 78,000 miles my air conditioner broke and had to replace that it cost me $900.00. Just yesterday may car would not shift passed second gear, i have an automatic transmission, i noticed it when i was getting on the highway. Lately i have been noticing that the transmission seems to be slipping but never could find the problem because my transmission fluid was always fine. So yesterday i went to aamco transmissions and they said it was the tcm so they told me it would cost $440.00 total. So they went to order the part but come to find out no one has it and the place that has all the tcm parts wont ship them till the 24th of september. So here it is september 3rd and i wont have my car fixed for the whole month of september. I don't understand why they wont ship them now. Also, they told me that they have been selling out of tcm fast because everyone is always needing them.
Takata recall i am steadily burning through front drive shaft assemblies where it goes into the transfer case. Thebearinghead keeps failing by throwing the bearings through the assembly, i have owed the vehicle for 2 years and have replaced it twice with the same parts failing. The part seems to just go with no warning and when the assembly comes apart it would leave the front shaft spinning since the jeep has full time locked hubs which could cause it to go through the floorboard or send bullet type projectiles through the assembly metal which could damage other components
Vehicle will not move in any direction except reverse. We drove to a store and when reversing out of parking spot, the vehicle seized in reverse and wouldn't shift to drive initially. We managed to drive home and pulled into driveway. When we went into reverse to adjust vehicle position, it wouldn't move when we shifted to drive. We had to drive car in reverse around our loop in order to park car. We just had to have car towed to repair shop and are now waiting to find out cost to repair. I am reading about numerous complaints over the course of years with no recalls established or offers of repair. This is unacceptable for a company to be aware of an ongoing issue and not extend repair solutions.
The vehicle vibrated excessively while driving.the dealer diagnosed the origin of the problem to the transmission but was unable to correct it.*nlm, returned usps,2nd attempt made 06/13/07 failed. *lj
Lurch from second to first when slowing to a stop.2003 jeep liberty auto transmission
Bought the 2003 jeep liberty brand new in may, 2003. Now a year and seven months later, we still have squealing brakes. The dealer in wichita has replaced the pads 2 or 3 times, and re-surfaced the pads once or twice. They've now decided that they will need to replace the back brakes, including the roters. These parts have been ordered, and we are waiting to have this work done. Additionally, the automatic transmission started downshifting hard from 3rd gear to second gear, and down to first gear. They replaced some parts in the transmission, and this problem appears to be fixed. We'll see! they blamed the rusting brakes to "humidity"...the car now has only 7,200 miles on it, and has been kept inside the garage every night of it's existence. The dealer claims that all the squealing and rusting of the brakes are due to the "humidity" in the air. We live in the exact middle of the us in kansas. There's not a lot of moisture in the air inside of my attached garage. This brake problem has been ongoing from mid 2003 to the present time in december of 2004. The car only has a little over 7000 miles on it...the dealer said that "the problems might go down if we would drive the car more often." we would not recommend a jeep liberty to anyone we like.
When putting the vehicle into gear it jammed.consumer kept depressing the brakes to get vehicle into gear.the floater and the shiftscrew were loose,perdealer mechanic.consumer maintained that it wasunsafe to drive vehicle.
Transmission is making clanking vibration/noise when slowing to a stop.the vehicle is not even 1 year old and has been to two different dealers for resolution.problem still present.*la
While driving vehiclesuddenly launched forward without the accelerator pedal being depressed.vehicle was serviced several times, and diagnostic tests were performed before the dealership located the cause of the problem.transmission was bad and needed to be replaced.
2003 jeep liberty ltd. Car vibrated at speeds of 55mph and above. Fox dealer, auburn ny was great, daimler-chrysler was not.changed all 4 tires and 3 wheels which didn't fix. Chrysler closed case "within mfg specs...".dealer continued to try to fix at their expense. Balanced both driveshafts which were out of balance. Still vibrated. Moved alignment of spline/differential. Didn't fix. Finally, daimler-chrysler regional svc mgr offered a swap for a new car, but with me paying mileage over 8k.ny lemon law allows 12k without mileage fee. I initiated lemon law proceedure.the day before arbitration daimler-chrysler legal reps offered same terms i'd have won in arbitration. Got rid of liberty at 11900 miles.leased a grand cherokee.the verdict is still under consideration on this car.
While drivingat any speed, the automatic transmission did not shift properly from first to second gear. Thedealership inspectedthe vehicle several timesand could not duplicate or correct the problem.the consumer experienced a slippage in the first few hundred miles.there were missing and loose bolts around the transmission.

The transmission on our jeep liberty went about a month and half ago. We brought it to the jeep dealership in lincoln, rhode island and were told it was covered under the 7 year/70,000 mile warranty; however, they also told us we would have to wait for a new transmission, but a rebuilt one would be faster and just as good.they had our vehicle for about a week.we tried to be patient even though it was difficult to not have the use of our vehicle for this amount of time.we got the jeep back and now the transmission has gone again.the vehicle was bucking and smelled like it was on fire.it is my opinion that if he had continued to drive it that day, it would have caught on fire.we called the same dealership, but they were not able to take it right away.when we did drop it off, it sat there before they could look at it.they said it was a faulty part in the transmission and again that we would have to wait three weeks for a new transmission, but the part could be ordered and sent by federal express.we cannot be without this vehicle again for three weeks so we chose the rebuilt transmission.i called today, and they haven't gotten the part and haven't called me back with where it is.i called jeep customer service and they said maybe they could offer "goodwill assistance" with a loaner vehicle, but then said no because it is not covered in our warranty and we are over in mileage, even though our jeep is not 7 years old and does not have 70,000 miles on it.

2003 liberty gear was in park made a loud roaring noise and accelerated. When the vehicle suddenly went out of control, it crashed into a brick wall of a building.
While driving, vehicle shuts off. Dealer states that vehicle needs a new fuel injector pump. Vehicle has been repaired five times for the same problem. Please provide additional information. Ph
Vehicle operates properly through 3rd gear prior to the torque converter clutch engaging.once the torque converter clutch engages, there is a noticeable slipping. this is evident at/and above 50 mph, both on 3rd gear (with od off) and on 4th gear (with od on.)the slipping is not intermittent; it occurs once the vehicle is hot, and when there is a increase in engine load,such as when going up hills (long grade) or when the throttle pressure is increased. It is also most noticeable with the air conditioning on.the slip stops (or at least i do not feel it) once the tcc disengages.
While driving between 40 to 50 mph the entire vehicle vibrates. Dealer notified. Please provide additional information. Ph
Vehicle transmission shifts erratically and violently.
I have a 2003 jeep liberty, with 36,000 miles.in a span of nine months, my transmission has went out 3 times.i don't haul anything with my jeep, nor do i drive uphill.the jeep service department has chosen to either repair the transmission or use a rebuilt transmission, in spit of my consistent transmission problems.the transmission problems consist of my car not able to go over 30 mph, the rpms shoot up to 6 or 7 and will not come down, and when i try to go faster than 30 the car jerks and smells like something is burning.
For most of the year i have been having trouble with my jeep libert automatic transmission.i have had several problems with it and the dealer still has not resolved the issue.i am being told that they cannot replicate the problem.i describe the following as the problems. At a full stop while holding down the brake the trans mission will shutter and make a banging noise.the transmission shifting at lower gears is rough. It is not in a like new condition.he transmission makes a grinding noise.the vehicle has stalled 3 times do to the transmission problem. Thevehicle has lurched forward at a stop sign/light.if not for holding down the brake the vehicle would hit the car in front of me.the transmission has shuttered as it changes gears while driving. Mainly at slow speeds.i consider this to be a safety issue with the vehicle.i believe the transmission will fail and i fear it will cause an accident.i have made every attempt to resolve this with the dealer.the transmission has been reconditioned twice.once on april 5,2004 and the other on may 26, 2004.the vehicle was returned to me but the problems reoccurred after a short time.i have called daimler chrysler customer service line and talked to several reps. I have file numbers 12578676 and 12805501. I have also spoken with service manager david cargail and distric manager bruce shirley.nothing has been done to address the problems that i am seeing.i have included the copies of the receipts from the service calls that are related to the transmission problems. I am missing some of the earlier once from this year and will send them if i locate them.i did take the vehicle in today and david cargail test drove it and refused to give me a receipt that i had taken it in to get it looked at.he said that i should have enough documentation that i needed.
Transmission hesitates / lurches randomly.car stalls out, increasingly frequently despite repairs.when engine cuts out, lose all power steering brakes etc - so far only at low speeds but progressively worse - seems very similar to jeep commander recall at higher speeds.rpm needle goes wild after engine cuts out.can restart and limp a few miles, then need tow - 2x towed in 1 week, 3x towed in 2 months, and 4 trips to shop without results.car currently stuck upstate ny where i was trying to vacation -and chrysler/jeep not so cooperative.there's plenty evidence of stalling problems on internet for 4-5 years - see edmunds.theories:deceleration / rpms below 1000 make engine cut out.solenoid is pulling battery amps =12 and causing havoc in ignition system, short-circuiting sensors.thermal computer module damage.computer scans for diagnostic codes definitely not reliable.by relying only on computer module for diagnosis, dealers are only making the problem worse because they are sending cars back out without fixing root problem, causing more damage. I had wheel sensor found corroded 6/3, crank sensor fail 8/6 and cam sensor failed 8/10.sensors don't fail sequentially nor so fast.something is causing sensors to fail.and while sensors not working they are causing damage of their own...computer, ignition coils (all 6 needed repair in 1 case where burned out).who knows if the spark plugs, fuel pumps, injection cleans, and throttle body cleans work ornot.(some say tb cleanout is important if stalls are at lower speeds - less air inflow).battery seemed to have issues too soon - may be related.one case where harness wiring rubbed against rear something causing probs.my speedometer broke after 1 sensor repair.separately (unless water and corrosion are the real culprits) brakes and rotors wearing out - replaced 2x in 40k miles.not right.some blog on that, too.
After buying the car as jeep liberty renegade 2003 used at about 40,000 miles.the second time i drove the car on the interstate the car started stalling and running very rough.i limped in for about 15 miles to the repair shop and problem was diagnosed as a faulty crank sensor.that was replaced and car ran fine for 4 years.now with 66000 miles the car stall while driving at low speed.restarted and took car in and problem was diagnosed as a faulty crank sensor again, but part had to be ordered and car was running fine.so i decided to drive car while waiting for the part and next day the car would not start.when tow truck arrived car stated fine but had car towed to repair shop.the sensor was replaced but the shop still was having periodic stalling problem.it was finally diagnosed as a faulty cam shaft sensor which was replaced and now the car is running fine.looks like jeep has a problem with the sensors in the jeep renegade model.
Transmission is making clunking noise when shifting from park, dealer said all are like this.
At approximately 25,000 miles my 2003 jeep liberty renegade's transmission went. I took it too a dealer and they rebuilt it instead of replacing it, i have had nothing but problems and took it back continuous times for them too take care of the problem and they said too just keep doing figure 8's with it too get the fluids to run through properly!! so this obviously didn't work, dah!! and they kept putting me off until they finally said, oh it's been too long now and we can't do anything about it!this company is now out of business and the tranny has not gotten better in fact gotten worse!!it was a default transmission obviously and i'm still having serious issues with it.is there anything that can be justified for me????
The transmission is leaking and the car has only 4,000 miles on it. Also, the rear wheels are making a loud squeal when driving the car for the first time of the day. Dealer said wheel noise is due to a needed rebuild of disc brakes and the manufacturer is aware of the problem.i am on a waiting list to get my brakes fixed.however, the tranny should not be leaking at only 4,000 miles.
While driving at any speed automatic transmission shiftedfrom any gear to neutral. Dealer on different occasionsreplaced the computer, and automatic transmission. But problem still persists.
Dt: contact states while vehicle is in park i will accelerate.the local service dealer reprogrammed the powertrain control module. However,this did not remedy the problem.
My vehicle has a recall on the air bags and the vehicle can not be corrected. I was told the jeep dealerships do not have the parts to fix it. Also, the pcm component of my vehicle needs to be replaced and the chrysler dealership has discontinued the part, an aftermarket part can not be found and none are on back order. My vehicle is still under warranty and the warranty department is sending the pcm to have the part refurbished but will not guarantee the part. My concern is the cars safety is not guaranteed due to the recall on airbags and the pcm is the main computer part for the car, if it can not be guaranteed to be safe and running what are my options?
My six-year-old climbed into the front seat of my 2003 jeep libertyand without the key or stepping on the brake pedal moved the transmission selector from park to some other gear causing it to roll down a driveway where people were.with great fortune, no one was struck or injured but when the car silently rolled away the results could have been catastrophic.this problem was repeatable.without the key turned forward, the transmission can be moved from park without stepping on the brake.with the key forward, it functions properly.jeep reported no recalls and was willing to fix under warranty.
I have two issues. The first being that i received the recall notice for the lower ball joints on my 2003 jeep liberty. I contacted the dealer on nov. 16, 2006 and was asked for my name, number, and address. The man told me that the parts were not in stock and had to be ordered which may take 4-5 weeks. He said they would contact me as soon as the part came in. It has been two months and i have yet to be contacted. Recalls are supposed to be done in a timely manner. Is this "shortage" of parts really the problem or it my local dealer.my second issue is that of the floor shifter. The last two times i drove my jeep, it refused to go into park or 1st gear. I tried pressing harder on the button on the underside of the shifter, turning my vehicle off, and giving it force. The first time i ended up driving to my local mechanic who couldn't get it into park at first either, after giving it some force it went in, however he seemed to ignore the fact that it was a problem with the vehicle and told me to "make sure i press the button in when trying to put it into park." it happened the following day when i was parking in front of my home. I struggled for 15 minutes, then drove around the block and tried again. I went into park although not smoothly. I will be contacting the dealer tomorrow. I was wondering if anyone else had this issue and would it be covered under any warranty. I have had nothing but negative experiences with dealers, therefore i am dreading having to take my jeep and pay for a "defect". Please if you have any information on these issues, let me know. Thank you for your time.
Transmission and engine lights came on upon towing a coleman "yuma" pop-up camper.took in to dealer and dealer found that torque converter to be bad along with gear wear.transmission needed to be replaced and gear wear repaired.car has only 8,000 miles on it and it is the first time the car has towed anything.the car should not have had a problem since it is rated with a much higher towing capacity than the coleman "yuma" is.the dealership is trying to tell me that this is an isolated incident of a bad transmission, but upon further investigation with jeep forums on the net, 85% of liberty owners are experiencing problems with their transmission after 8,000 miles! one owner has had his transmission replaced 3 times!the dealership said this was covered under my warranty this time, but that it would not be covered next time.if the transmission is faulty on all of them, i don't want to get stuck with a lemon on a brand new vehicle!

On august 11, 2006 while driving home from work, my jeep liberty began to sway. I proceeded to slow when my rear axle including wheels fell off. No warning, the entire rear axle disassembled. The conditions that night were wet, however there was nothing more than that. I had my vehicle towed to an authorized chrysler mechanic. I inquired to what would cause the rear axle to just fall apart this way. I was informed it was because of the impact? there was no impact which was evident by the condition of my vehicle. My vehicle had to be repaired. The left rear control arm and driveshaft had to be repaired and reinstalled in addition to the rear end asm and left wheel and tire replaced.
2003 jeep liberty sport (4x4) vibrates excessively between 45-55 mph.dealership replaced rear drive shaft, which did not fix the problem.this is my second jeep liberty with the same problem.the first was a 2002 jeep liberty sport (4x4) with a vibration problem.the dealership replaced the front and rear drives shafts on this vehicle, which did not fix the problem.this vehicle was replaced by chrysler under the wisconsin lemon law.my concern is that this is a design flaw with the jeep liberty that chrysler does not have a fix for.

New 2003 jeep liberty with 64 odometer miles has extreme vibration when driving between 45-55 mph.the dealership replaced the front and rear driveshafts, but this did not correct the problem.i have been without my new vehicle for 5 business days. *nlm
While driving between 40 - 55 mph, vehicle driveline severly vibrates.
I've replaced three front drive shafts on my liberty sport within a years time. This jeep isn't abused and is driven in the correct mode for the road conditions. The belief is that the four wheel drive will not disengage properly but no one seems able to find the root cause of these malfunctions. I basically have no "shift on the fly", and must be stopped with the vehicle in neutralwhen engaging or disengaging any four wheel drive mode. Sometimes it requires many attempts to fully disengage!if unable to disengage the four wheel drive, even full time mode, the front drive shaft comes "unglued" where it connects to the transfer case and basically makes the vehicle unsafe and unable to drive until the front drive shaft is removed, which in turn nullifies the four wheel drive feature.
Vehicle: 2003 liberty ltd with 110,000 miles. Upon acceleration from a dead stop, or when coasting then accelerating, or shifting under light-to-neutral throttle, there is a noticeable clunk from the rear differential, similar to a worn universal joints. Took it to the dealer and found that the spider gears were extremely worn creating abnormal clearances. The dealer stated that this is a common problem with the 2003 model (others?). This is likely due to a poor design or materials. Broken or dislodged spider gears have the potential to seize the rotating assembly and send the vehicle into an uncontrolled skid. Parts ordered aftermarket to be installed on a date tbd.

There is a problem with the front drive shaft have been looking on internet to see if can find part and this looks like it has been a problem since at least 2005 with these vehicles i know mine has a rip in the boot and the front drive shaft has a lot of play in it i don't know if it could lock up and flip the vehicle or not but it really can not be all the safe and also the locks not working properly on them this is also a ongoing problem but mainly the drive shaft. You put it in four wheel drive and it sounds like you are going up a hill on a old wooden roller coaster would best describe it. The vehicle is not taken four wheeling only used when it snows and i have to use it.
There is a humming noisecoming from the truck when reaching 60mph also the jeep vibrates at that speed. I have taken it to warnock in cedar knolls after spending more than 3 days back and forth they advised it was the driveshaft, left the jeep with warnock only to find out that the condition is under investigation, so the truck is not fixed and i can't take it more than 60mph..
Vehicle shaking/vibrating/loud hum at 50+ miles per hour and faster.

Vehicle experienced acceleration surges.*mr the surging occurred at random times above 25 mph. The acceleration surge also occurred with the cruise control engaged.also the manual transmission would not shift into fourth gear at highway speeds.if a shift was missed, the transmission winded up but no power was transferred to the wheels.with the clutch engaged, the transmission could not be put into gear until the transmission winded down.
While in four wheel drive the vehicle went out of control when the brakes were applied.manufacturer was contacted, but the cause was undetermined.for approx 1 year there were 16 separate incidents that occurred while vehicle was in 4 wheel drive. At 25-45 mph vehicle spun out of control.driving one direction vehicle spun to the opposite direction.
Ball joint failure three times.emergency brake on five speed never has worked properly.replace engine at 70,000.now the card end joint for the four-wheel drive is not working correctly.my biggest complaint is the ball joint failure for the third time.this issue also causes chain reactions in the tires i have had three sets of tires wear uneven and i wrote the company the first time to complain and got no response.i use my jeep to make my income and do not trust it any more.i do not recommend this vehicle to any one and will not pass it on to any family member.
2003 jeep liberty purchased in 2002 has had problem since purchase. The vehicle acts like it is in 4-w drive when it isn't. When attempting to make even gentle turns there are loud cracking sounds and grinding noises. This does not happen all of the time and will go many months without the problem. There have been multiple witnesses to the noise and the hopping of the car when attempting to make the turns. Hopping is most evident when attempting to pull into a parking spot even when making a wide turn to avoid a hard/tight turn into the space. The noise and hopping again occur when trying to pull out of the parking space. This happens in 4-w drive as well as when out of 4-w drive. I have reported this to the dealer who does not record my complaint but only states that i can pay for a check of the transmission if i want. They stated that it was common for jeep liberty vehicles to hop and make this noise when in 4-w drive. Now that my car is out of warranty it has gotten worse and the problem was never fixed. Please investigate this problem before someone is killed. I lost a son last year. I cannot afford to have my transmission, transfer case, etc. Repaired because i am struggling financially. Just recently the light has stayed on stating i am in part-time 4-w even though i am not. The perform service light has stayed on ever since the very first service on my vehicle in 2002. The dealer does not fix anything. During one service the vehicle bolts were left off and i was told that the car didn't really need those they were just to prevent rattling. They also charged me for a fuel and air filter during a service which was not put on my car. When taking my car to the firestone dealer the very next day to have tires put on they showed me my filters (still on the car) and told me to report it. The dealer is the lithia chrysler jeep dealer located at 3223 mill street in reno, nevada. They should be investigated as to unethical practices.

I have received three notices regarding recall on the orc module for jeep liberty 2002 and 2003. Each time notice had been received i attempted to schedule service appointment to have this issue rectified.each time was told there was a back log because of number of recalls and couldn't give me when this part could be replaced.needless to say im receiving another notice stating the seriousness of this matter but no indication when part will be available.i drive everyday and my safety is at risk as and it is now over a year with no resolve.
I took my vehicle to the dealership to have the orc module replaced as part of recall campaing r06.the service writer informed me that after r/r of orc, they had to replace the front impact sensors, which was not part of the recall, and afterwards they could not communicate with the orc and it would cost me $100.00 or soto have issue diagnosed.i couldn't afford it and now have no air bags.also after leaving the dealership i noticed the pass. Seatbelt is in a constant locked position while the drivers side seat belt never locks even when brakes are applied. Fcasaid i wld need to pay for the diagnosis & iffound to be related to the orc recall fca would reimburse me but i can't afford the diagnosis fee.so now i have to drive a vehicle with no air bags and no seat belts.how can this be considered a remedy to a recall situation?fca stated that it did sound like it would be related to the orc recall.if that is the case why should i have to pay for the diagnosis?it doesn't sound like to me that fca truly cares about the safety of their customers.is there anything that can be done to get this rectified without cost to the customer? this happened in may of 2016 & i didn't know i could report the incident to anyone or should even question it until i spoke with a neighbor who used to work for a dealership who advised me to look into the issue further as he said it didn't sound right to him.

The driver side air bag is the only one that deployed and now the seat belt does not work properly either.
I was sitting in line at the pharmacy my 12 year old son was sitting in the rear drivers side seat with seat belt on the seat belt began tightening as he changed position and each time he breathed it tightened around his chest he couldn't breathe and rushed him to the fire station 1 block away where they cut the seat belt, other than being able not to breathe there was no other injury thanks to my quick action. We tried to release the seat belt and it would not release. The front drivers side seat belt sticks and sometimes you get stuck and have to release it with a small stick like object.

While driving an extremely short distance from my home driveway (maybe 50 feet), my "driver side" seatbelt pretensioner and airbag deployed.there is already a recall for airbag/seatbelt pretensioner on my vehicle (m35 (12v-527) or n13 (13v-040)r06). When i brought my vehicle into suncoast chrysler dodge jeep ram, they to told me the recall was for only the "passenger side" and "driver side" was not part of the recall. They said they could not find any reason why the "driver side" airbag and seatbelt pretensioner deployed. They said the cost to replace my airbag and seatbelt pretensioner would be just under $1500.
The occupant restraint control (orc) module has a chance of experiencing an electrical overstress condition.part has not been shipped to my dealer as of 7/29/2013.m35/nhtsa 12v-527notified close to 6 months ago.
I just received a call from jeep that an outstanding recall is still on my vehicle and looking back some months ago, i brought my car into a dealer to have all of the recalls fixed and they said they need to order a part for one of the recalls.i never received a call back stating that the part was ready to be installed.had it not been for this current call from jeep i would have forgotten all about it. I just don't have time to keep bringing this car in and waiting for parts to be installed on it.
My airbag light was showing up intermitent , now will stay on permanent. I am afraid to drive it and have an accident.

Complaint received via e-mail. My wife, son, and i were involved in an accident. We hit an ice patch on i-80 east mile marker 128. We went down a bank and hit a tree head on at aproximatly 50 mph, andseat belts/air bags did not work. I contacted jeep, and was told that an investigator would go and look at the jeep, and they would get back to me. I then contacted the garage where my vehicle was being repaired, and asked the owner if the inspector had been there. I was informed that he was, and that he did not even know where the air bag sensors were located. A few days later, i recieved a letter informing me that the air bag didfail, and that it should not have gone off, my vehicle had $9000damage at the front end.i am concerned that the vehicle was not safe for myself and family. I did some research on www.nhtsa.dot.gov and found that 9 other 2003, jeep libertys had the same problem.
Something was preventing my seat belt from being latched. I looked down to find something that looked like a round metal bead stuck inside. I pried it out with a pen. I was then able to latch the seat belt. Then about a week later while driving my seat belt came unlatched. I relatched it only to have it happen over and over again. I went to the dealer to find out i have to buy an entire new seat belt assembly. You cannot buy just the buckle. After researching this website, i see there is an investigation on 2002 jeep liberty seat belt buckles. My car is 2003, however, the dealer informed me that 2002-2005 are the same part.
2 car accidents where another car hydro-planed into front driver side corner of my 2003 jeep liberty. The airbags did not deploy.

My seat belt did not hold me and i hit the rear view mirror. I suffered a concussion with 1/2 hour of memory loss and a wound to my head that required staples to close. The car was registered a total loss by the other drivers insurance company...electric insurance company claim # 2003081105302.*la
Rear passengerside and driver side seat belts won't retract back into it's holster because the belts were unraveling.dealership inspected the seat belts, but could notdecide why this was happeningbecause where the belts were unraveling they were not coming in contact with anything.dealership might be able to cover the belt to correct the issue. If this was not possible the entire seat belt assembly has to be replaced.
Rear driver's side seat belt released without touching the buckle.
Both rear seat belts were shredding after very little use and had to be replaced under warranty. It appears the plastic housing of the seat belt retractor is too sharp and the belt rubs against it when used causing damage.

I contacted the jeep home office about the broken power seat adjuster.i was told that they are aware of this problem and the power seat adjuster problem also includes the jeep grand cherokee and the chrysler 300. They also told me that they will not help me with my problem. I have done some research and i have found this to be a wide spread problem. The power seat adjuster brackets are made out of very thin stamped sheet metal [.015 thick].all 4 mounting points failed within 2 days of driving. When the last mounting point on the power seat adjuster failed, it nearly caused me to have an accident when the seat tipped backwards. I have currently secured the driver seat with heavy duty tie wraps. I have also taken the jeep to some welders to try to weld the power seat adjuster brackets mounting points repaired and was told that the metal is too thin to be safely welded. The drivers power seat adjuster on my jeep has not been repaired as there no parts available.

The driver's power seat adjuster bracket has failed.the right rear bracket has broken free from the rest of the seat.the seat can now be manually tilted forward.i am concerned that the seat will become totally dislodged during operation of the vehicle..
Drivers side bracket for power seat brokenwhen i stopped suddenly.currently seat is not attached.what is the point of seat belts if the seat is broken.can't find a replacement.all the ones in the junk yard are broken and chrysler has no stock.
Rear brackets holding the seat to the power adjuster has failed. You can tip seat forward and when emergency breaking is needed seat shifts moderately forward.this is a hazard to me as the driver.
During an auto accident where i was side swiped on the driver's side, the 3/4 seat on the passengers side unlatched and folded down.
I want to complain about not being able to get the recall on the passenger side air bag fixed.i was told by adam samuals chrysler in aransas pass, texas, that the part is no longer available??????so, i "did" have the "rear structure reinforcement" done already.and it was at that time that they told me that the part for the air bag recall was unavailable on the 2003 jeep i have.absurd!i also had a problem with my driver seat assembly.i cannot make the back of my seat go up or down, which, depending on who drives the jeep, is now a problem.the cost to replace the seat assembly, with labor, is about $500.00!absurd!can you help me?i have taken such excellent care of my jeep since purchasing it in 2005, used, at don johnson motors in brownsville, texas.i have replace most small parts when needed and have my oil changes done every 3,000 miles.i cannot afford a newer vehicle at this, or in the near future for that matter either.i must keep what i have in excellent working order.please help me with my problem.
3 of the 4 driver side seat mounting brackets broke where the seat mounts to the floor.this is dangerous and i fear that driver's seat will come completely unattached from floor of vehicle in an accident, sudden stop or very soon!many others seem to have these exact same problems with seat mounting brackets. Jeep, chrysler nor dealers will help with these problems!interior lights come on by themselves unexpectedly and sometimes will not shut off when attempts are made to switch them off.light switch control seems sporadic and defective. I fear a short circuit resulting in electrical fire from defective light switch control.
Weld of driver side front seat broke.car has never been in accident.

On 8-15-2018, i (driver/owner of a 2003 jeep liberty sport) was leaving my parking spot at a convenience store. When i put the vehicle in reverse, it immediately started speeding backwards. When i applied the brakes with all the force i could muster, it failed to stop the vehicle. The tires were squealing & black tire marks were left on the pavement. My vehicle stopped when i slammed into the front end of a parked car which was next to a gas pump with the driver inside. Fortunately nobody was hurt. No police report was filed but my insurance company was called immediately to report it."takata recall"i went to the local jeep dealership (bluebonnet jeep in new braunfels,tx.) with the recall notice in hand. The employee in the drive-up service lanecalled the office to verify if part was in stock. It was not. She made an appointment for 2 weeks from that date. I returned with my vehicle on my scheduled appointment date & was notified by a different employee that part(s) were still not available & was told that an individual needed to inspect my vehicle first but he didn't know when the inspector would be available to do it. I told that employee that they weren't serious about replacing the part(s) needed. So i got back in my car & drove home.
Turned left out of the doctors office, drove approximately 50 yards and attempted to stop at the stop sign (making a right).the vehicle's engine, however, began accelerating and despite applying extreme pressure to the brake, continued to move forward while the engine accelerated faster.i ultimately ended up throwing it into park and then turning off the ignition to kill the accelerating engine.i have no idea what the rpm was, but it was loud!this also happened 2 weeks ago (first time - very cold morning) and i ended up throwing it into park and turning off the key like today.todays temperature was around 40 degrees.fyi - i was in the process of making a right hand turn when this happened and had slightly turned the wheel.after the first incident, i began doubting that this had even happened.in hindsight, despite several blogs on the internet, i am absolutely positive that i did not push down on both the accelerator and brake at the same time.after todays incident, i immediately called our local car dealership to schedule an appointment and then attempted to recreate what happened.under various scenarios i bumped the steering wheel cruise control buttons (while stopped, while stopping, while accelerating) but could not cause the runaway acceleration to repeat itself. We have an appointment at our local dealership this friday, or as soon as we can drop it off.candidly, i'm scared to drive this vehicle at this point!
I was leaving from work going about 45 mph, i smelled electrical components burning,before i could pull the jeep over to the side of the road it shut off unexpectedly leaving me with no power steering and no power brakes,i nearly lost control of the jeep,by the time i got to the side of the road the smoke had filled the cabin,the smoke was coming from front drivers side dash. Now i have no headlights,wipers,door locks, radio,alarm,int lights,speedometer,engine light is now on. Mechanic investigated and found that the bcm has a large burn hole in it the size of a silver dollar,i was very glad that my daughter was not in the jeep with me that day,,

My jeep liberty failed to stop sending me through an intersection through a small open field and over a small embankment landing on the roof of my jeep.

I was driving down a 2 lane country road, within speed limit, road conditions excellent.i have a pristine driving record.i rounded a bend and was approaching the straightaway and although i steered to straighten the vehicle, my jeep continued to go to the right.i turned the wheel harder to correct the direction and the jeep veered to the left into the oncoming traffic lane.i managed to get the car back to the right side of the road, but the car hit the gully on the side of the road and crashed into a tree stump. Although i applied the brakes the car felt like it skidded to the right and the antilock brakes didn't engage. When i crashed into the side of the road ibroke the front wheel and damaged the rear wheel, broke the lower control arm, damaged the suspension and steering knuckle, and did some body damage.when i queried the dealer about how this could happen, they said they knew of no defects on the 2003 liberty.after finding the information on the internet about the lower control arm/ball joint recall, and calling the dealer again with this info, the dealer said, oh yeah, they knew about that, but "don't pay much attention to recalls."i had the car serviced by my dealership on 12/16/03, the day after the recall notices were supposedly sent to customers (i still haven't received one as of 2/3/03), but they never mentioned the recall or scheduled the replacement of the defective part.i am available for contact if there are others out there who have experienced similar failures.
While i was approaching an intersection (the speed limit was 45 mph), i tried to apply the brakes and they were locked. My steering was also locked that i couldn't turn. Thank god the signal just turned green for me as i coasted right through it and finally came to a stop on its own. I am very unhappy with this vehicle. I could have been in a serious accident, or better yet, dead! i no longer feel safe in this vehicle. My lease is up in 11 months and i will no longer purchase a daimler chrysler vehicle.
Bought the 2003 jeep liberty brand new in may, 2003. Now a year and seven months later, we still have squealing brakes. The dealer in wichita has replaced the pads 2 or 3 times, and re-surfaced the pads once or twice. They've now decided that they will need to replace the back brakes, including the roters. These parts have been ordered, and we are waiting to have this work done. Additionally, the automatic transmission started downshifting hard from 3rd gear to second gear, and down to first gear. They replaced some parts in the transmission, and this problem appears to be fixed. We'll see! they blamed the rusting brakes to "humidity"...the car now has only 7,200 miles on it, and has been kept inside the garage every night of it's existence. The dealer claims that all the squealing and rusting of the brakes are due to the "humidity" in the air. We live in the exact middle of the us in kansas. There's not a lot of moisture in the air inside of my attached garage. This brake problem has been ongoing from mid 2003 to the present time in december of 2004. The car only has a little over 7000 miles on it...the dealer said that "the problems might go down if we would drive the car more often." we would not recommend a jeep liberty to anyone we like.

Dealer said wheel noise is due to a needed rebuild of disc brakes and the manufacturer is aware of the problem.i am on a waiting list to get my brakes fixed.however, the tranny should not be leaking at only 4,000 miles.
I took my 2003 jeep liberty that i purchased november 22.2003 in for a service checkup and with 29000 miles on the car iwas told that half of the rear rotors were rusted away, and only half the brake pad was hitting the brakes. I have had many vehicles in my 52years of life andi have never had this occur. Of course chrysler refuses to admit that they are using an inferior metal product and will not stand behind the what i believe to be dangerous rotors. I have a file number at chrysler which is 12412856. I had the rotors changed at my expense but i believe they are cutting corners in a very vital part of the car. I would appreciate a response. Gerry vesely.

We were driving on a busy street to go our house when we heard a warning tone when we were turning over a roundabout. After 10 seconds, the air bags blew up all of a sudden. It was fortunate that we are running only at 10 mile per hour or slower as it was rush hour and there was traffic. Also my husband was able to put on the brake to avoid hitting the car in front of us. We were badly shaken, traumatized and had bruises on our arms and chests due to some parts bursting towards us. The steering wheel cover and dashboard where the air bags were are pretty damaged. We totally cut out the air bags to avoid the repeat of this incident. My husband is now traumatized to drive the jeep. We also heard some strange sounds in the serpentine belt. We don't now if it's connected to the air bag explosion. Our car was bought second.the first owner who is american imported the jeep from the us and brought it here (another country in southeast asia). We are living abroad (not in us) and we don't know how we can file this complaint on the defects of the jeep liberty we are using. We hope someone can respond and help us. I am putting the contact details of my brother who lives in the us in the personal information in case someone would like to contact us.

My stepdaughter was driving her 2003 jeep liberty in her grandmother's driveway when she heard a loud thunk causing the vehicle to come to a stop due to the driver's side front tire separating from the vehicle. We changed the front driver side ball joint and control arm due to failure and tire separation from the vehicle. It was well that my step daughter was not travelling on the highway at a faster rate of speed because that surely would have ended with a more serious result. I see that there have been three recalls related to the control arm and ball joints. This particular vehicle was purchased from a private individual that actually had taken the vehicle in for the recall in 2006, but it seems that the problem has not been resolved. I'm very much concerned for my step daughter's safety while operating a motor vehicle and i hope that something can be done soon to correct this problem.
Transmission is leaking,brakes squeal when you are backingup. They say it is from dew. It's in the garage at night. The steering is my main concern.it pulls so hard to the right. It's an accident waiting to happen.
The contact owns a 2003 jeep liberty.the contact attempted to start the vehicle but the key would not turn in the ignition. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where the contact was advised that the steering column, ignition switch and lock cylinder needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 53,000.
I am the second owner of this vehicle, when i acquired it, i had it serviced at the dealership and they preformed all recall work. It has been kept serviced and up to date on any recall work since. During the day on christmas eve 2019 i was returning home from a visit at my mother's home and suddenly lost control of the jeep. There was loud noise and things breaking off the vehicle as i fought to control it and pull over. Upon inspection, saw the passenger side front wheel had come loose from the suspension, tore off the fender wheel well and broke a piece off the right-side running board. Undriveable, i had it towed to my mechanic. Unfortunately, they were closed until after new years. In early january i found out the diagnosis was a sheared lower ball joint failure. I looked in my files and found that this was one of the recalls that had been preformed to the vehicle. Safety recall f23- lower ball joints was done on 8/1/2006. Obviously, you assume this problem is resolved and the vehicle is safe after the work is done. I luckily was traveling at 30mph, and not at highway speed, so i have only encountered a financial burden. (about $4k for rental, repair & bodywork) i am sure if i was going faster or in traffic, i would have been injured or killed. How do the thousands of jeep liberty owners still on the road who are up to date on recalls confidently drive their vehicles if the recall work fails in the exact manner described as the problem meant to be fixed by the recall? i've been driving for close to 40 years and have never had any vehicle suffer a catastrophic failure resulting in a crash before this.

While driving an extremely short distance from my home driveway (maybe 50 feet), my "driver side" seatbelt pretensioner and airbag deployed.there is already a recall for airbag/seatbelt pretensioner on my vehicle (m35 (12v-527) or n13 (13v-040)r06). When i brought my vehicle into suncoast chrysler dodge jeep ram, they to told me the recall was for only the "passenger side" and "driver side" was not part of the recall. They said they could not find any reason why the "driver side" airbag and seatbelt pretensioner deployed. They said the cost to replace my airbag and seatbelt pretensioner would be just under $1500.
I was on my way home from whiteville nc i was going down antioch chruch rd,as i proceded to go into a curve i noticed that i couldn't turn the steering wheel that caused me to go off the road and i lost control and when the vehicle came to a rest in a feild the vehicle had landed one side up i think it landed on the passenger side down.i later find out that there was something wrong with the suspension on the jeep.i always wondered what caused the accident that night,i am just learning about the recall on the jeep i had.i lost alot of money that i had including the down payment,the payments that i paid,the stereo system etc.i knew from the begining that something wasn't right with this vehicle.i tried to get the dealership that i got it from to fix it,but in response i was told that it didn't come with a warranty.so nothing was done.
Dt: contact received a recall notice for the lower ball joint and had the repair work done. Seven months later the ball joint failed again while the vehicle owner's son was driving at35 mile mph.the ball joint failed while driving over a bridge ,and t vehicle wasdamaged. Vehicle had to be towed to the owners home, and then to the dealership for repairs. The wheel and brakes, both fell off the vehicle. The police were called.however no report was filed because there was no crash.repairs were done. . the owner noticed that before the ball joint failed. There was too much play in the steering. When the wheel is turned it takes the tire a minute to catch up. The owner is concerned that the ball joint is about to go out again. The replacement parts do not seem to be any different than the original parts. The caller heard a report of a lady dying with the same problem in her vehicle.
I was on my way home when it became very hard to steer the vehicle which resulted in a accident,also the airbag never deployed. The insurance company did in fact total the vehicle.
When attempting to switch lanes, it felt as if the steering wheel locked and the vehicle began to swerve between lanes. I had no control over the steering, therefore the vehicle continued to swerve and eventuallyslid off road into a median full of trees. Once in the median, the vehicle began to roll over. The vehicle rolled 3 or 4 times, eventually coming to a stop passenger-side down. There was damage all over the body of the vehicle, including the front and sides. Airbags did not deploy. Vehicle was taken in less than a year ago to get fixed due to a recall on the air bag system, but airbags did not deploy during crash. I was taken via ambulance to a local trauma unit. Vehicle was totaled.
Making a right-hand turn from work parking lot the front right wheel control arm split in half causing the right wheel buckle. Control arm, knuckle suspension and ball joints were replaced.contacted chrysler at the time and told that there was no recall concerning those parts.my mechanic thought the part might have been faulty.
I would like to file a complaint about the passenger side upper and lower ball joints. I purchased the vehicle in 2006 as a second owner and in the 7 years i have owned my jeep i have had to replace my ball joints now 3 times. This is very unsafe and seriously should be addressed by the makers as to why even after being recalled they have gone out twice. Luckily i have been fortunate enough (or i should say chrysler has been fortunate enough) to not have had an accident or anything serious happen to me or my family due to this. Thanks.
There wasn't an incident/failure in this case, however i am hoping to prevent one from occurring. Over 950 people have the same part (a power steering hose) on back order. If that many people have had to order this part, isn't it defective? meanwhile, well over 900 of us continue to drive a jeep in which the steering can go out at any moment, causing how many potential injuries and deaths? i think this should be looked into-it is definitely a safety hazard.
The contact owned a 2003 jeep liberty. The contact stated that while driving at 65 mph, the steering wheel began maneuvering on its own and the vehicle ultimately crashed into a median.

For the past month or so, my steering wheel ignition locking mechanism has been nerve racking.i put the key in, but it doesn't even turn...almost like i am using the wrong key.if i jiggle a bit it will work...but last night nothing was working.now - my steering column is locked, so i can't even attempt to spin the steering wheel while i try the key.it has been towed, which now will cost me an arm and a leg i am sure to fix.i have researched online and was surprised to see how many people are complaining about the same thing.we are all having the exact same problems.i have read things like broken shift interlock cable, broken ignition rod, etc...i am puzzled why this hasn't been brought to the surface and there is no recall.this is dangerous especially for those that have young children, like myself, incase i am stranded in the middle of nowhere.who knows what lowlife would cross my path all because jeep was aware of this problem and hasn't so much as even recognized the issue.i will never buy a jeep again.
The contact owns a 2003 jeep liberty. While driving 5 mph, a loud squeaking and clanking sound emitted from the vehicle and it became hard to control without warning.

This is a problem with my 2003 jeep liberty.difficulty turning key in ignition.steering wheel must be forced to turn to the right.dealer says that the steering column must be replaced due to bearing seizure.cost = $630.this is a dangerous situation and should cause a recall.checking various forums, numerous people have had difficulty with ignition and steering column problems.
I have replaced the power steering pump and hose multiple times and all those times the pump went bad right away, i believe there might be more to the problem than just the pump. When the pump first goes out i loose control of steering. Is there any recall on this?

- the contact receivedrecall 06v288000 on 10/25/06, for 2003 jeep liberty.the contact stookthevehicle to dayton jeep, and was told that they didn't have parts available to make the repairs. The dealer didnot give her an appointment at that time.the contactried on numerous occasions to get an appointment ,and the dealership still refused tosetup t an appointment. Also, the contact was having steering problemsduring all types of weather,especially under rainy conditions .
This car leaks power steering fluid. Many similar jeep 2002 and 2003 have this problem. This car has only 50000 miles. The dealer wants to replace the entire steering system.
Every time i turn a corner my steering makes a very squeaky noise. I have visited the jeep form and many owners of this vehicle have complained about the same issue when its hot
A recall was made for jeep liberty for the control arms upper and lower and the ball joints. I was told my vin did not have the recall. However, others had the recall and jeep paid for the repairs. After the repairs the wheel hub went bad, and a recall was made for that but not my basic model. After replacing the wheel hub the driveshaft was damaged by all the issues. A recall for the same vehicle was made for a driveshaft and again the bass model was not included in the recall. This time jeep said they would fix the driveshaft and when it came time they denied it.
Took my liberty to my mechanic because it started making a horrible sound up front when ever i made a turn. Upon inspection my lower ball joints had disintegrated, crumbled into their hands. They could not believe how lucky i was that it did not break while driven. Nothing was holding it in or together. Come to find out there are recalls on both the upper and lower ball joints. I was never notified. I have had the lowers fixed and paid for with lifetime warranted parts. I need reimbursed for the lower $488.27. The upper ball joints also must be fixed on a separate recall that i was never notified of. Do these people have any idea how bloody and devastated an accident would be when your wheel shears off and there is no steering? it's called flipping the fringing jeep over!!! not only is it unacceptable that i wasn't notified but i could have killed my father and others in an accident. My mechanic told me straight up if i had gone over a bump or turned i would have wreaked! i can not believe that there are other people that have had accidents with more damage or a full total of theirs and others are not being reimbursed for the entire damages. Thi fixed wrong the first time by the dealer, before their wreak. How is that not their responsibility? there is no excuse for any of those jeeps or mine not being fixed. These are straight up recalls something is wrong with this, really wrong.
The contact owns a 2003 jeep liberty.in december of 2006, while driving 55 mph, the steering wheel began to shake uncontrollably.the contact was unable to immediately stop the vehicle.there was snow on the ground at the time of the failure.the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure.most recently, while driving 35 mph, the steering wheel began to shake uncontrollably and the vehicle rolled over and crashed into a ditch.three passengers were injured and the vehicle was destroyed.a police report was filed.on both occasions, the air bags failed to deploy.the contact informed the insurance company that there was something wrong with the steering wheel, however, they were unable to determine the cause of the crash.the vehicle was towed.the current mileage was 94,000 and failure mileage was 87,000.
I have reported this to daimler chrysler in regards to the ball joints i feel the recall parts were never fixed and could not get an answer as to whether they were ever replaced this vehicle at one time was in an accident not known when i purchased this jeep to be safe and it is the worse vehicle ever i have a four year old and like i said to daimler chrysler if anything happens to me or my family while rising in this vehicle there will be a lawsuit.
2003 jeep liberty - lower ball joints replaced on recall notice now i have been advised that the upper ball joint needs replacing. I have read that this is a known problem but no recall has been implemented yet.
Left driver side, upper ball joint separated from control arm. Wheel collapsed outward. Fortunately, it happened after leaving the interstate driving 70 miles per hour. Entering service station wheel collapsed. Happened to talk to an individual who was aware of the problem. Individual said that this is a current and on going problem with today's vehicles. The front components are being designed so they cannot be maintained properly. Lack of grease fittings, pressed in joint design on ball joints to control arm , instead of re enforced with bolts or other safe measures. Individual stated that it is occurring on most all makes and models. Instead of just replacing the defected ball joint, the control arm, with no other defect, but this, has to be replaced, costing even more money. Has been reported, that deaths have occurred. The mental impact and feeling insecure after a fix is ongoing. I see more deaths and accidents occurring because of this problem. Thank you.
When turning corners the vehicle's steering wheel be came very stiff as if there wasn't any power steering.this problem has occurred at least seven times.the dealer could not duplicate the problem.the manufacturer is aware of the problem.

On friday june 12th, 2009, my wife was driving our 2003 jeep liberty home.after stopping for a stop sign, she turned to the left and immediately the upper front ball joint gave way.(it was completely rusted on the inside)the jeep has 42087 miles on it.fortunately my wife was going very slow, otherwise there is no telling how severe an accident could have occurred. Chrysler/jeep said that there has been no recalls on this particular model, yet i found a april 15, 2009 posting on the internet saying that there have been recalls for the upper control arm ball joints (recall n. J17) on models sold in the "salt belt states".we are in pennsylvania.i've had the part replaced but would caution other jeep liberty owners about a potentially serious problem.

I could have been in a serious accident, or better yet, dead! i no longer feel safe in this vehicle. My lease is up in 11 months and i will no longer purchase a daimler chrysler vehicle.

2003 jeep liberty, left lower ball joint separated causing wheel to nearly separate from vehicle. Vehicle repaired by chrysler. Since repair there has been loud noise when steering wheel is turned. Brought back to repair facility to be inspected. Informed that the lower control arm bushings cracked causing failure. This seems to be related to another material defect as the control arm sleeves are pressed as were the ball joints. I contacted chrysler and they stated there is no recall at this time. The vehicle is three years old and for two major material failures at the same time seems to be a serious problem. Is there any others who have complained of this problem?

I received a recall notice approximately 1/1/2014 for nhtsa 13v-252,and have been to the dealer three times to resolve but they never have the parts. The dealer claims that chrysler is not sending adequate quantities for demand (chrysler recall # n46). I have reached out to the chrysler group recall assistance center twice, and have been sent back to the dealer both times with no resolution. It has been an unreasonable amount of time, and i am requesting assistance from the administrator of the nhtsa for assistance in resolving this matter. The vehicle was repaired.
I've not yet been contacted by any jeep dealer to address important safety recall n46 / nhtsa 13v-252 please advise accordingly. Thank you for your attention in this matter.

Driving along and rear right power window started to slip down. I tried to put it up but it made grinding noises and kept slipping. It started to rain, so rain came into vehicle. Also could not go to doc appt - could not leave unsecured vehicle in parking lot. Had to come home and stick a wooden wedge into window to keep it up. I was afraid window would fall into door frame and break. Hard to pay attention to road while constantly looking over shoulder at window.
Our 2003 jeep liberty has a defect that has a tsb on it.it was supposed to have been repaired by a dealer in may 2004.in chryslers notification to customers, they claim that the rear flip up window may open if water gets into the switch, only if vehicle is un-locked.that un-locked statement is false and we have had it happen 2 or 3 times with vehicle locked.this is a safety issue as it would allow a person to enter the vehicle through the rear lift glass, unknown to the operator and would expose the operator to theft and assault.chrysler outright lied about the unlocked condition as the lock is powered at all times and only needs to be grounded to operate.

Premature rust through on window frame around rear hatch glass.most likely caused by water leaking through the rear upper brake light.
I bought my jeep off of my grandparents in october. Its a really nice jeep, only has 69,000 miles. That's good for an 03. Every car has its problems im sure. But mines on recall. I have had the airbag light come on and go off. And i comes on whenever it wants to. And it scares me because if the airbags go off, not only will i be mad, but you can bet, ill prob raise hell. Because i don't fell save driving a car that has the potential to have the airbags go off. Also i have noticed that the power lock on the drivers side works when i wants to. Like i have to hit it a couple times to get it to work. Not such a big deal. Also the cd player doesn't work. Like i've change all the fuses to try and get the door lock/cdplayer to work. And nothing changed. It make a really loud and annoying noise after the cd plays for awhile. That i don't car about. Also one day i got in my jeep. I don't know how because the door was shut and locked, but on the drivers side, on the inside of the door. Was nothing but ice. The door still opened and closed, no problem but, it looked like somebody took a gallon of water and dumped in down the inside of my door and it froze over. And that's the problems i've noticed with it. The only thing i care about is the whole air bag thing. I have received notice that it will be fixed, but will it be fixed for good. Because i don't feel safe driving around and doing my daily things, knowing that i, or my family, or friends could get hurt from the airbags going off. So i hope that whatever the company is doing to fix it works, because everyday i get in my jeep, that's the only thing that is going threw my head. Thanks

Both rear windows have fallen into window tracks due to failure of a $.05 piece of plastic.the dealer repair is $600 to replace window actuator with no promise that the failure will not happen again, since the exact same part that fails is the exact same part that is replaced.it is simply a disgrace that an individual can "google" this issue on jeep liberty's and see that this happens everyday and has happened tp thousands of owners.how can chrysler get away with this, and not be forced to repair a faulty part that is known to fail time and time again?

**urgent** i am requesting that the recall of jeeps due to gas-tank fires be accelerated.i became aware of the gas-tank fires involving jeeps on 6/17/2012.my only mode of transportation is a 2003 jeep liberty and i am fearful of driving the vehicle now.if someone rear ends me, the jeep may burst into flames.i am filing this complaint against jeep/chrysler for allowing myself and a million other drivers to continue driving a vehicle with a dangerous condition when they have known of the issue for the last two (2) years!!i have not personally had an incident but i would like the problem corrected before i am added to the fatality statistics.a recall needs to be done immediately with either correction to the vehicle or vehicle replacement.jeep/chrysler owe a responsibility to its consumers to report unsafe/dangerous conditions.thank you

There is growing rust on the back of the vehicle, on the roof panel, just above the tailgate window, on the driver side. It started under the glass, inside a weld point. Every body shop expert i have every taken it to says the same thing: this was a bad weld and water was allowed to get in there and under the paint. It started with a tiny bump years ago and is now the size of my hand and growing. My concern is i have seen this on at least four other liberty jeeps. A post on jeep's facebook page also turned up a few people with the same problem.

Air bags did not deploy after making 2 impacts, totaling vehicledear chrysler/jeepmy name is [xxx] and i have been the proud owner of a 2003 jeep liberty renegade.on june 3, 2016 i was struck by another motorist on my home from work. I commute every day from the southwest suburbs of chicago to downtown chicago. I have taken the utmost pride in my jeep, providing regular maintenance. In the past 6 months i have spent over $1500 in replacements.i recently purchased 4 brand new tires, a new alternator, a new muffler, oil pressure switch and an evap sensor.i have also made purchases to customize my jeep, by adding neon lights in the inside, seat covers, and a new stereo system.asides from all the love and attention i put into my jeep, there was something about my accident that scared me the most.after the other vehicle struck me, my jeep kept on rolling, hopping a curb, narrowly missing a tree and hopping another curb and totaling my jeep. I suffered a left knee contusion in the end.the real horror is that my air bags did not deploy. For my vehicle to make 2 large impacts and no air bags has left me with a complete distrust in the brand. If my life was at a higher risk or if i had struck that tree or any other vehicle on the road, it's sad to think that the one safety feature that could have saved my life, took no action.yes, a product liability lawsuit is possible because of this, but i want to ensure 100% that they?re may be thousands out there that put their trust in their jeep, not knowing that it could possibly be a fatal mistake.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

At only 66,000 miles original owner directly from a 4-year corporate lease, a large corrosion/rust hole through bottom of passenger side body frame rail has been discovered, where lower control arm meets the frame rail. Breakage of the rear frame rail is pending due to rust hole, would likely cause a spontaneous loss of steering, injury or death. Jeep is too dangerous to drive. Must spend $2,000 to try to replace frame rail. Contacted chrysler but they would not fix due to year of vehicle, corrosion recalls are 2004-2007. The entire underside of vehicle is rusted and only a matter of time before all other components rust through including suspension and brake lines as well as lesser parts already going like rear window currently rusted shut and engine parts with corrosion beginning. I live in nj which is included in the "salt belt" -states that use salts to de-ice roadways in winter, so the recall on my would not affect my vehicle regardless of it's year. It is my opinion that there is a major corrosion/rust issue in the earlier jeep liberty models which makes these vehicles very dangerous to drive. Buyers beware especially in the northeast. Have a thorough inspection for rust before buying any used jeep liberty.

I am filing this complaint regarding the n46 rear structural reinforcement recall affecting my jeep liberty vehicle. I received a first recall notice in early january 2014 and the recall center told me that the parts were not available at that time.i scheduled an appointment to bring in my car to tempe chrysler jeep on march 5, 2015 to have the oem trailer hitch installed.after an hour wait the technician informed me that they were unable to install it because the 'well nuts rusted off' and that repairs (at customer's expense) are needed before installation can be performed.the dealership gave me a service procedure form to sign indicating that inspection revealed damage or deterioration near the hitch attachment points are incapable of supporting the proper installation and unable to complete the safety recall repair. I bought this pre-owned vehicle from earnhardt chrysler in chandler, arizonaon august 2011 and was unaware of this issue and also the deterioration and rust on the under body of my vehicle.i find it unfair that the dealer is trying to charge me to do a required safety repair. If there is rust it was there when i purchased the vehicle.it is unfortunate that the part needs to be replaced for safety reasons but chrysler should be required to fix this even if they have to fix other parts as well due to the defect.nhtsa ref. #[xxx].information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The support straps for the fuel tank failed suddenly after making a left turn. The fuel tank contacted the road surface for a short time (1 minute) before the vehicle could be stopped. The rear corner of the tank (passenger side) was damaged to the point that fuel leaked from the tank.both support straps were broken after the incident. The tank was approximately 1/4 full prior to the incident. Both of the support straps failed near the bottom of the fuel tank.the remaining pieces of the support straps were still fastened to the frame and the fasteners were still in place after the incident. Both support straps were severely rusted.although we are disappointed that this incident happened, we are grateful that no one was hurt. We realize the outcome could have been a lot worse.

I was advised by my jeep dealership that my 2003 jeep liberty needs both the left and right front upper control arms replaced.2003 jeep liberty vehicles manufactured from may 2002 through september 2002 have been recalled due to the failure of this component.the chrysler recall is no. J17 (nhtsa campaign id 09v119000; nhtsa action number ea08008).my jeep liberty was manufactured in october 2002 - one month after the recall period and therefore isn't eligible for this recall.in researching chrysler recall no j17, the root cause of the upper control arm issue was never determined.it was only determined that 70% of incidents occurred during this time period while only accounting for 11% of vehicle production (a "spike").i argue that since my jeep was manufactured one month after the recall period, and requires upper control arm replacement, it is the same issue experience by vehicles under the j17 recall.i ask that either:(1) chrysler replace my upper control arms free of charge -or-(2) nhtsa / odi extend the recall to cover the remaining 2003 jeep liberty vehicles not covered under j17.i ask for nhtsa / odi's assistance in seeking reimbursement from chrysler and investigating extension of the j17 recall.

My mechanic got stumped on some suspension problems, and looked online for similar issues. What he came across was articles by consumer reports and auto trader about recalls with jeep libertys from 2003 to 2005 that will have rear suspension, specifically rear lower control arms problems, resulting in the tires loosening or even break away from the vehicle. I am not a mechanic, but what i have read fits the description of what my jeep is doing, and the area of concern expressed by my mechanic. Even when the jeep has not been recalled for this, "officially" i would like it looked into as the problem fits the recall description and model years. When i am driving it, it intermittently shakes from the backend, little fish tail motions. It happens at most speeds, but more noticeable when above maybe 25mph. (although it does it at slower speeds as well) it is nerve racking, and noticeable from passengers as well, as twice i've been asked by passengers, "whats wrong with your jeep?" below on this page it is asking me for a date of "when did this happen?". That i don't know, its not something that happened overnight, its been steadily creeping up, getting worse. My mechanic made mention of it a few months ago. I have had no luck having this listed as a recall, despite what i mentioned previously that the problem fits the description and whats happening. I decided to fill this out to see if anything else could be found or done with the recall. Thank you

At only 66,000 miles original owner directly from a 4-year corporate lease, a large corrosion/rust hole through bottom of passenger side body frame rail has been discovered, where lower control arm meets the frame rail. Breakage of the rear frame rail is pending due to rust hole, would likely cause a spontaneous loss of steering, injury or death. Jeep is too dangerous to drive. Must spend $2,000 to try to replace frame rail. Contacted chrysler but they would not fix due to year of vehicle, corrosion recalls are 2004-2007. The entire underside of vehicle is rusted and only a matter of time before all other components rust through including suspension and brake lines as well as lesser parts already going like rear window currently rusted shut and engine parts with corrosion beginning. I live in nj which is included in the "salt belt" -states that use salts to de-ice roadways in winter, so the recall on my would not affect my vehicle regardless of it's year. It is my opinion that there is a major corrosion/rust issue in the earlier jeep liberty models which makes these vehicles very dangerous to drive. Buyers beware especially in the northeast. Have a thorough inspection for rust before buying any used jeep liberty.

I own a jeep liberty 2003(manufactured in apirl 2003). I have owned the car from january of 2004. Coupleofweeks before(july 17th 2004)i was gettingin tothe freeway entry ramp, the car suddenly veered right and i tried to adjust it but the car veered violently to the left and spun a 360 and a partial 180 before i ended up on the other side of the freeway crossing 4 lanes of traffic. Fortunately, i did not get injured and the vehicle was not damaged nor did anybody else. I went on the internet later to find out that there was a major recall for the same incident for jeep liberties that were manufactured till march of 2003 and mine is manufactured in apirl. The scary thing about this is i cannont predict when this can happen again and it has already happed twice after the above listed incident on normal roads.

There are 12 active recalls on my vehicle. I don't trust the vehicle. I want a replacement vehicle. Some recalls are "incomplete" and cannot be remedied right now. I have had very bad experiences with jeep dealerships - they have repeatedly demonstrated that they were untrustworthy and either not doing the work they said they did or breaking something on my jeep and charging me for it. I think they should replace my vehicle another vehicle that either has no recalls or one that has passed compliance. No accident yet. Do i really have to wait for an accident? 12 recalls?

I was backing out of a parking space in the quick chek parking lotafter i came out of the store to go to work and i heard a big bang thump. I immediately put the vehicle in park and looked around thinking maybe someone was behind mebut there was not. I had a few guys push the vehicle slowly to another parking space about 200 ft away to stop the vehicle and put into park again. I immedialtely called roadside assistance to come to help me after i looked underneath the front right tire to see that the wheel was not attached to the front suspension under the vehicle. A flatbed came and told me that i needed a wrecker to lift and also dollies to get this vehicle to the closest automotive facility nearby. Once there the next day they inspected it and told that i needed a lower and upper ball joints and also control arm for this vehicle.i called fca chrysler jeep dodge about this matter and was told that if i was to tow it to one of there facilities that if the recall on it that was done in 2007 was the same problem that they would address this matterand fix it free of charge and it would be covered for the recall for the most part.
Since purchasing in sept 02 have had vehicle in for service six times for numerous concerns, repeatedly for a clunking/grinding sound from the psgr sd ft, a severe pulling of the vehicle to the right, a vibrationwhen driving hwy speeds, and intermittent engine misses.dealership twice replaced the front end strut mounts which elimated the grind/clunk, but cannot ascertain the problem with the vehicle's instability (pulling) on the road nor with the engine misfires.an adjustment (off spec) to the alignment was performed by dealership which in turn caused the vehicle to pull to the left and also encouraged more steering vibration and worsened mpg- avg 13.21 mpg where initially i got 18 -20 mpg. Dealership claims that b/c roads are angled for water runoff, this likewise keeps my vehicle from staying on the road (!?) am currently beginning to experience a clunking noise from rear passenger side wheel area, but have not yet brought it to dealer's attention.

My front ball joints are about to fall apart, i was told i was lucky i haven't had a bad accident. I had to pay to replace front drivers side arm and ball joint. Right hasn't been done yet because i couldn't afford both, drivers side was $506. Then was told there are several recalls on this problem that i wasn't told about. I'm scared to keep driving and can't seem to get anyone to contact me.
Took my liberty to my mechanic because it started making a horrible sound up front when ever i made a turn. Upon inspection my lower ball joints had disintegrated, crumbled into their hands. They could not believe how lucky i was that it did not break while driven. Nothing was holding it in or together. Come to find out there are recalls on both the upper and lower ball joints. I was never notified. I have had the lowers fixed and paid for with lifetime warranted parts. I need reimbursed for the lower $488.27. The upper ball joints also must be fixed on a separate recall that i was never notified of. Do these people have any idea how bloody and devastated an accident would be when your wheel shears off and there is no steering? it's called flipping the fringing jeep over!!! not only is it unacceptable that i wasn't notified but i could have killed my father and others in an accident. My mechanic told me straight up if i had gone over a bump or turned i would have wreaked! i can not believe that there are other people that have had accidents with more damage or a full total of theirs and others are not being reimbursed for the entire damages. Thi fixed wrong the first time by the dealer, before their wreak. How is that not their responsibility? there is no excuse for any of those jeeps or mine not being fixed. These are straight up recalls something is wrong with this, really wrong.
Start with a noise when i push brakes and after two weeks the left ball joint snap and left side was wreck (paint, bumper) now i'm afraid this thing happen with right ball joint.

Son was driving home when the driver side wheel came off, in mid turn-. On a public road, about to turn onto the interstate. Luckily, wasn't going 65. The car had to be towed. Our mechanicsaid the ball joint broke loose, bending the axle as well, damaging the wheel and tire. There has been a recall of this nature, but said it didn't apply to this vin. I am totally convinced it must be defective as well. This could have been a deadly accident. I am begging for this to be investigated.

My stepdaughter was driving her 2003 jeep liberty in her grandmother's driveway when she heard a loud thunk causing the vehicle to come to a stop due to the driver's side front tire separating from the vehicle. We changed the front driver side ball joint and control arm due to failure and tire separation from the vehicle. It was well that my step daughter was not travelling on the highway at a faster rate of speed because that surely would have ended with a more serious result. I see that there have been three recalls related to the control arm and ball joints. This particular vehicle was purchased from a private individual that actually had taken the vehicle in for the recall in 2006, but it seems that the problem has not been resolved. I'm very much concerned for my step daughter's safety while operating a motor vehicle and i hope that something can be done soon to correct this problem.

Upper and lower ball joints under previous recall have failed!!!!!!!!ball joints were not replaced by servicing dealer as required by recall !!!!!!!!!! only small shield was installed !!!!!!!!jeep isn't taking this problemseriously !!!!!!!!!!
I am the second owner of this vehicle, when i acquired it, i had it serviced at the dealership and they preformed all recall work. It has been kept serviced and up to date on any recall work since. During the day on christmas eve 2019 i was returning home from a visit at my mother's home and suddenly lost control of the jeep. There was loud noise and things breaking off the vehicle as i fought to control it and pull over. Upon inspection, saw the passenger side front wheel had come loose from the suspension, tore off the fender wheel well and broke a piece off the right-side running board. Undriveable, i had it towed to my mechanic. Unfortunately, they were closed until after new years. In early january i found out the diagnosis was a sheared lower ball joint failure. I looked in my files and found that this was one of the recalls that had been preformed to the vehicle. Safety recall f23- lower ball joints was done on 8/1/2006. Obviously, you assume this problem is resolved and the vehicle is safe after the work is done. I luckily was traveling at 30mph, and not at highway speed, so i have only encountered a financial burden. (about $4k for rental, repair & bodywork) i am sure if i was going faster or in traffic, i would have been injured or killed. How do the thousands of jeep liberty owners still on the road who are up to date on recalls confidently drive their vehicles if the recall work fails in the exact manner described as the problem meant to be fixed by the recall? i've been driving for close to 40 years and have never had any vehicle suffer a catastrophic failure resulting in a crash before this.

Left driver side, upper ball joint separated from control arm. Wheel collapsed outward. Fortunately, it happened after leaving the interstate driving 70 miles per hour. Entering service station wheel collapsed. Happened to talk to an individual who was aware of the problem. Individual said that this is a current and on going problem with today's vehicles. The front components are being designed so they cannot be maintained properly. Lack of grease fittings, pressed in joint design on ball joints to control arm , instead of re enforced with bolts or other safe measures. Individual stated that it is occurring on most all makes and models. Instead of just replacing the defected ball joint, the control arm, with no other defect, but this, has to be replaced, costing even more money. Has been reported, that deaths have occurred. The mental impact and feeling insecure after a fix is ongoing. I see more deaths and accidents occurring because of this problem. Thank you.

We purchased a 2003 jeep liberty on december 4, 2002, in kent, ohio, that was manufactured in november 2002. We have lived in akron, ohio, continuously since 2002. We drive the jeep in the eastern suburbs of cleveland, ohio, very frequently to visit family and to take our son to school. Ohio is a salt belt state, and akron and the eastern suburbs of cleveland experience significantly more snowfall during the winter than other areas of ohio due to lake effect. The right front upper control arm assembly became loose, almost to the point of failure, and was replaced on april 26, 2008, at our cost of $597.87. On december 17, 2007 nhtsa opened preliminary evaluation pe07-q62 for 2002 -2003 jeep libertys based on complaints of front suspension upper ball joint separation.on april 7, 2009, chrysler notified the nhtsa that '[t]he front suspension upper control arm ball joint [of 2003 jeep libertys] may experience a loss of lubrication which can lead to corrosion, accelerated wear, and possible separation while driving[,]' and agreed to 'conduct a safety recall to replace the front upper control arm assemblies on all affected vehicles.' additionally, chrysler stated that '[t]he vast majority of these alleged separations occurred in salt belt states. A review of some returned parts indicated compromised sealing, loss of lubrication which resulted in corrosion, accelerated wear and separation.' however, chrysler has refused to reimburse us for replacement of the failed front upper control arm assembly because it was manufactured in november 2002 and not between may 2002 and september 30, 2002, even though it is the same part, manufactured on the same assembly line with the same materials, and chrysler admitted that '[n]o root cause for this increase in the rate of separation during this five month build window in 2002 has been determined.'we request that the recall be expanded to include jeep libertys manufactured in november 2002.

While making a left turn onto my road from another driveway, my front left tire separated from it's joint, making it unable to drive. The tire was manually tied back in place with a strap and driven to a nearby garage (about 40ft.away.) finally a call was made to chrysler describing the incident. On april 23, 2010 a call was made to a local dealership to replace the recalled parts. I was told that the parts had to be ordered in. When the parts arrive, the dealership would call me to schedule an appointment. As of today, 5/4/2010, i have not received a call to schedule an appointment.
While driving slowly across a bridge, my upper ball joint disconnected causing the passenger side front tire to fall off.no apparent warning that vehicle was in need of repair. No one was injured. Had vehicle towed and control arm: upper ball joint replaced.the lower ball joints were replaced on 12/29/2006 due to the recall in 06' of the lower ball joints -- it appears the upper ball joints have the same issue.my concern now is when will the other side go bad?hopefully i won't be traveling at a high rate of speed when the other side goes, because i fear the outcome.it only had 61,000 miles at the time -- can i assume the side that was repaired is safe to drive another 61,000.it's not worth putting my life and/or others in danger.

On friday june 12th, 2009, my wife was driving our 2003 jeep liberty home.after stopping for a stop sign, she turned to the left and immediately the upper front ball joint gave way.(it was completely rusted on the inside)the jeep has 42087 miles on it.fortunately my wife was going very slow, otherwise there is no telling how severe an accident could have occurred. Chrysler/jeep said that there has been no recalls on this particular model, yet i found a april 15, 2009 posting on the internet saying that there have been recalls for the upper control arm ball joints (recall n. J17) on models sold in the "salt belt states".we are in pennsylvania.i've had the part replaced but would caution other jeep liberty owners about a potentially serious problem.
On 08/03/09, i had my 2003 jeep liberty towed to my local 5-star chrysler dealer (mileage = 148520).the right front ball joint had broken while i was making a turn in the parking lot.the tow truck driver had to pull my vehicle up onto the flatbed, as it was not possible to drive it, not even a few inches.during the loading of my vehicle onto the flatbed of the tow truck, the right front axle had come apart from the wheel.the service department had completed the necessary work to put my vehicle back together and indicated that it was all taken care of under the recall that was in the system.i had not known about the 2nd recall.i took my vehicle to the dealer for an oil change & courtesy vehicle inspection on 10/07/09 (mileage = 151838).the courtesy inspection indicated that the "suspension/steering" was "checked and ok."on 12/23/09,i took my vehicle to the dealer for an oil change & courtesy vehicle inspection (mileage = 158083), and i indicated that the right front wheel had begun making a weird noise again.i was told that it was it was fairly common, especially if the housing got wet inside. The courtesy inspection indicated that the "suspension/steering" was "checked and ok."on 03/19/10, i had my vehicle towed to the dealer (mileage = 161533) because it felt like i had a flat tire while i was driving, although there was nothing wrong with the tires.it ended up that the right front axle had to be replaced.at first i was told the damage was due to "normal wear & tear" and "high mileage."as they began looking at it more closely, they commented that they had not seen one this badly damaged.it was repaired & ready for pick up on 03/31/10.i am in the process of finding out more information on the right front suspension issues because i do not see how after all the "inspections," it went from being "ok" to being told that they had not had one come in that was that badly damaged.
While driving down a road, the ball joint on the front driver's side broke making the vehicle undriveable and tearing up my wheel.luckily, my son was able to get the vehicle off the main road and call for help.this vehicle was a 2003 jeep liberty sport which i bought in october, 2005.this incident left me without transportation to work due to the uncooperative staff at the dealership and the main jeep consumer office.the garage hauled the vehicle to repair but insisted only repairing the joint that had broke.when i asked for a number to contact the main jeep company, i was told this dealership had no such number.i feel this was a lie because the next day i was able to acquire a number from another dealership in our area.i have requested both bottom ball joints be replaced but so far have been denied.i am trying to protect my family from having a serious accident and feel extremely fortunate that it has not already happened.

I have a 2002 jeep liberty. I am having a ball joint problem with my jeep by daimler chrysler similar to the dodge.i purchased my jeep (new) in january of 2003.i began hearing a "scrubbing" noise from the front of my vehicle in approx april 2003. I took it to a dealer near maxwell afb, alabama; they stated that because of recent rain something may have been wet/ moist.i continued with my trip back to dc.i didn't really notice the noise anymore. Approx middle october i had a flat tire (front passenger).it was replaced by aaa contractor & fixed by a tire dealer. When i inquired what went wrong, they didn't/couldn't find anything.on october 31, 2003 i took my truck to be serviced at a alexandria, virginia jeep dealer for a 22,000 mile service (preventative care). So i dished out approx 270.00 for this service.two days later i noticed a "scrubbing" noise again. This time it was louder and was horrible! i visited the va jeep dealer furious that they just serviced my truck & i started hearing the noise.i was told that my front ball joint needed to be replaced, it just was a bad part and it was covered under warranty. I received a call the next day that the part was in but wasn't able to bring it in until two approx weeks later. The service tech assured my the truck was safe to drive but try to get the part replaced soon. I began to notice the truck pulling to the right & steering wheel violently shaking. The dealer don't provide loaner cars and i work on military base, i still couldn't get to work.at this point i blamed the dealer for my inconvenience.they put the part on december 10.they told my that it was recalled since the last time i had been in. The noise had stopped but not the shaking of the wheel and the pulling to the right.i returned my car to the service department (december 16). They performed a front end alignment. Today is december 19 and my truck is still shaking and pulling to the right.i am available for contact if necessary.
Loss of control of 2003 jeep liberty resulting in accident and personal injury. Driving car on parkway.gently stepped on brakes, car pulled sharply to the right.took foot off brake and reapplied, car pulled sharply out of control and to the left into center highway divide.could not pull car off center divide as car skidded to a stop.no other cars involved.damage to car and injuries reported to police.contacted jeep, they are sending an investigator over.have not heard anything since.
I was advised by my jeep dealership that my 2003 jeep liberty needs both the left and right front upper control arms replaced.2003 jeep liberty vehicles manufactured from may 2002 through september 2002 have been recalled due to the failure of this component.the chrysler recall is no. J17 (nhtsa campaign id 09v119000; nhtsa action number ea08008).my jeep liberty was manufactured in october 2002 - one month after the recall period and therefore isn't eligible for this recall.in researching chrysler recall no j17, the root cause of the upper control arm issue was never determined.it was only determined that 70% of incidents occurred during this time period while only accounting for 11% of vehicle production (a "spike").i argue that since my jeep was manufactured one month after the recall period, and requires upper control arm replacement, it is the same issue experience by vehicles under the j17 recall.i ask that either:(1) chrysler replace my upper control arms free of charge -or-(2) nhtsa / odi extend the recall to cover the remaining 2003 jeep liberty vehicles not covered under j17.i ask for nhtsa / odi's assistance in seeking reimbursement from chrysler and investigating extension of the j17 recall.
I only stopped to realize that there was a problem when i saw that there was an investigation going.we lost control of our 2003 jeep liberty in the winter of 2003.we did not report it as it was a hill that had ice.we had the car in 4wd low and never went beyond 2 miles an hour.the car continued to slide and slide and there was no control over it and we ended up hitting the mountain, the better of the 2 scenarios the other going off a cliff.every hill i drive i have the same problem mostly when there is snow on the ground (even fresh non-ice) snow if there is any degree of angle to the hill, i can not drive it.i have slipped several times on angled dirt roads but not to the degree that i continue to have with snow covered hills....after reading the report i realized that this could be caused to the recall and issues that are taking place...i am not certain, but am giving this information should it help in any way....thanks!

Received a safety recall f23--lower ball joints from daimler chrysler; however, when i tried to schedule an appointment with a dealer they stated they did not have the parts available and would take up to 2 months to receive the parts.

I have two issues. The first being that i received the recall notice for the lower ball joints on my 2003 jeep liberty. I contacted the dealer on nov. 16, 2006 and was asked for my name, number, and address. The man told me that the parts were not in stock and had to be ordered which may take 4-5 weeks. He said they would contact me as soon as the part came in. It has been two months and i have yet to be contacted. Recalls are supposed to be done in a timely manner. Is this "shortage" of parts really the problem or it my local dealer.my second issue is that of the floor shifter. The last two times i drove my jeep, it refused to go into park or 1st gear. I tried pressing harder on the button on the underside of the shifter, turning my vehicle off, and giving it force. The first time i ended up driving to my local mechanic who couldn't get it into park at first either, after giving it some force it went in, however he seemed to ignore the fact that it was a problem with the vehicle and told me to "make sure i press the button in when trying to put it into park." it happened the following day when i was parking in front of my home. I struggled for 15 minutes, then drove around the block and tried again. I went into park although not smoothly. I will be contacting the dealer tomorrow. I was wondering if anyone else had this issue and would it be covered under any warranty. I have had nothing but negative experiences with dealers, therefore i am dreading having to take my jeep and pay for a "defect". Please if you have any information on these issues, let me know. Thank you for your time.

Daimler chrysler is not sending the dealership sufficient number of parts to repair the recalls.i've been waiting over a month and call practically everyday to see if a shipment of the "lower ball joint" parts have come in.meanwhile it's very unsettling to know that my steering can fail at any moment.perhaps daimler chrysler would rather hear from my surviving family and their attorneys should anything happen to me due to their failing to provide a replacement to an inexpensive part that could directly be the cause of an unfortunateaccident.
Dt*:the contact stated there were no current problems with the vehicle.recall letter #06v288000 regarding the front lower ball joint was received.the parts needed to repair the vehicle are not available at the local dealership.the manufacturer confirmed the parts are not available.
On 5/5/06 i had a lower left ball joint separate from my 2003 jeep liberty renegade.thankfully this happened while making a left turn into my parking lot at work after lunch.had it happened anywhere else i would not be here today to write this complaint.i have been made aware of a recall for 2002 - 2003 liberties and i understand that the recall dates ended two weeks before my build date.i am getting no support what-so-ever from chrysler even though it is perfectly obvious this is a major fault of theirs.

Her complaint was that chrysler should be making more parts available due to the seriousness of the recall.
At 20000 miles a recall replacement was performed on our 2003 jeep liberty. At 53000 miles we had the dealer inspect the front end of the jeep and proclaim it was within specification. At 54000 miles, wile turning in to my drive at 5 mph. The lower left ball joint popped out and jammed into the back of the wheel. The dealer replaced the ball joints under the recall. In approximately 500 miles the joint went from sound to so bad it popped out! at higher speeds this failure could have been catastrophic.
2003 jeep liberty, left lower ball joint separated causing wheel to nearly separate from vehicle. Vehicle repaired by chrysler. Since repair there has been loud noise when steering wheel is turned. Brought back to repair facility to be inspected. Informed that the lower control arm bushings cracked causing failure. This seems to be related to another material defect as the control arm sleeves are pressed as were the ball joints. I contacted chrysler and they stated there is no recall at this time. The vehicle is three years old and for two major material failures at the same time seems to be a serious problem. Is there any others who have complained of this problem?

2003 jeep liberty ball joints replaced approx. 45,000 miles under manufacturer recall, at that time vehicle was making significant road noise from the front end suspension. Dealer replaced lower ball joint assembly at that time. Approx. 66,000 miles vehicle was taken to dealer to find source of front end noise again, dealer could not duplicate and stated there was no problem. Approx. 71,000 miles vehicle taken back to dealer for same problem because it was getting worse. I had a factory authorized repair technician go on a test drive with me on september 23, 2005. Within about a minute of the test drive the technician stated that it was most likely the lower ball joint assembly and that he believed the recall had been extended to lifetime. I scheduled an appointment to bring the vehicle in for repair on september 27, 2005. The dealership had the vehicle the majority of the day and could find nothing wrong. They stated that the ball joints looked fine. On sunday october 2nd, 2005 the lower ball joint on the driver's side failed. Fortunately it was a speed of under 5 mph as we were turning out of a parking lot. The front driver's side suspension had collapsed. Vehicle was towed to the dealership sunday evening. Currently waiting on the dealerships response. This is a repeat failure and a major safety issue that to date the dealership has chosen to ignore.
Received recall notice on jeep liberty on october 27,2006 and began calling dealerships for information and to schedule a repair. This was after calling daimler chrysler for names of dealer since ours had gone out of business.i called four dealerships within my driving area (35miles) not one of them offered to take my name, number or any other information. I was told about the parts being on back order and to call back in a week or 2. This is what i did and again was told the same i again called d/c and the customer rep told me again about the parts being back ordered and that each dealer only received 1-2 a week, there was nothing else she could do. Well i have been calling every week since friday the 27th of october and finally on thursday november 30th a service person was willing to take my name and put it on a waiting list.but my question is for how long?my auto is my only transportation as like others, should i have an accident with my children in the car or any incident at all with then in the car, daimler chrysler will not have heard the last of me. I have already had to replace 2 front tires for reasons no one could explain (they had worn so bad on the inner tread) and have been keeping close eye on the new ones. Can't afford tires b/f they are needed either. And will the dealer make sure my car is aligned and balanced? since this will be disrupted by the repair of the lower ball joints? i just want to be safe, i have loved my liberty since buying it and my son is looking forward to driving it in a couple of years. But do i allow him to? thank you in advance for you help and time. Any and all assistance will be good.

The car was inspected for ball joint problems (recall) @ 18,000 miles, the dealer said all was good. At 63,000 miles i was leaving a stop sign when the lower ball joint on the passenger side broke, totally separated. There waslittle warning before the joint broke.

When the joint broke the suspension gouged the inside of the rim deeply and bent the drive shaftagainst the suspension. The dealer has approved replacing the ball joints (both lowers) but is refusing to replace the wheel or the drive shaft at this time. The ball joints they refuse to give to us.

I was driving down a 2 lane country road, within speed limit, road conditions excellent.i have a pristine driving record.i rounded a bend and was approaching the straightaway and although i steered to straighten the vehicle, my jeep continued to go to the right.i turned the wheel harder to correct the direction and the jeep veered to the left into the oncoming traffic lane.i managed to get the car back to the right side of the road, but the car hit the gully on the side of the road and crashed into a tree stump. Although i applied the brakes the car felt like it skidded to the right and the antilock brakes didn't engage. When i crashed into the side of the road ibroke the front wheel and damaged the rear wheel, broke the lower control arm, damaged the suspension and steering knuckle, and did some body damage.when i queried the dealer about how this could happen, they said they knew of no defects on the 2003 liberty.after finding the information on the internet about the lower control arm/ball joint recall, and calling the dealer again with this info, the dealer said, oh yeah, they knew about that, but "don't pay much attention to recalls."i had the car serviced by my dealership on 12/16/03, the day after the recall notices were supposedly sent to customers (i still haven't received one as of 2/3/03), but they never mentioned the recall or scheduled the replacement of the defective part.i am available for contact if there are others out there who have experienced similar failures.
I received a recall notice from daimler chrysler about my 2004 jeep liberty about a safety recall f23-lower ball joints. This recall states that "ball joint separation can result in a loss of steering control and could cause a crash without prior warning". Trying to make an appointment with the dealer to repair the problem revealed there would be an 8 week wait because the parts are not available. I learned from the dealer (and later verified by calling daimler chrysler at 1.800.853.1403) that daimler chrysler is making only 3 replacement parts available to dealers per week! if this is such a potentially dangerous situation, doesn't daimler chrysler have an obligation to make more parts available to dealers of their defective cars? i understand that we are talking about a lot of cars, but that does not change the fact that i am driving a defective vehicle which i will have to continue to drive for another 8 weeks. How can such a huge corporation not insure that parts are available to their dealers in a more timely fashion? what happens if indeed a crash occurs without prior warning during that waiting period? what will daimler chrysler say and do then? this is a shameful example of violating the public trust-and this car is not cheap-they are certainly not saying-hold your payments until the car is repaired. What can i do but wait?

I own a 2003 jeep liberty that has been recalled for the lower ball joints. The recall was issued in september 2006. The recall states of the importanceof replacing the ball joints. But the problem is that the dealers can't get the parts to fix the problem. I have been on a "waiting list" for several weeks now, and still am about the 40th person down the list to have this service performed. The recall states that a crash could occur without warning. I realize not all vehicles may be affected, but how do we know if our vehicle is safe?i could understand a few days or a couple of weeks to order a part, but the longer it takes, the safety of my vehicle puts my life in jeopardy, as well as others on the road.i don't understand why this is taking so long on such an important matter.it could take months for my dealer to fix my vehicle, and i am sure there is a long list after my name.it seems like the safety ofmyself, and other jeep consumers is not being taken seriously. So why do they send out recalls if they can't get the problem fixed?

Lower ball joint failed while i was in williamsburg. Broken ball joint also punctured the driver's side tire while resting up against it. Had to have my jeep liberty towed to the dealership and then had to pay to be transported to the richmond airport to rent a car since everything was closed in williamsburg at 3:30 on a saturday afternoon. Jeep was repaired the following week with a suggestion to fix the upper ball joint soon since it alsohad some 'play' in it. While having the upper ball joint replaced locally, mechanic had to replace the upper ball joint on the passenger side as well since it looked just as bad. He suggested replacing the lower ball joint on the passenger side as well within the next month to avoid an accident. Both upper ball joints were left to me. The lower ball joint that had failed on the driver's side was retained by the chrysler dealership in williamsburg, virginia.

Next day, received notice in the mail regarding recall of front lower ball joints (the recall was issued in 2006, i found out later, but this was the first i was notified). Called dealership (don white's of timonium) regarding recall, was told it would take a few days to receive parts, but still within the month of may, told that they would call in a few days with more exact dates. Canceled appointment that i had previously made to have ball joints replaced, since recall would repair the parts free of charge. Never received phone call, so placed call myself to dealership, told it would be several weeks to receive parts as they were on back-order. I then placed call to chrysler to investigate huge delay on recall parts (may 26th). I was told that they were on back-order, but chrysler would arrange for a rental (free of charge) while i waited for the parts to arrive. I was told they would call me in 3 to 4 days with the car rental information. Never received phone call. Called chrysler again on june 1st, was told to wait another day. Called back the next day (today) and was informed that the dealership never ordered the parts and that chrysler needed to "investigate" further before i could be issued a rental, if i would get one at all. Now the inspection has expired on the jeep and i am left with an unsafe vehicle. I still have to work and cannot afford a rental for what could amount to a month or more.

I have experienced the same problem with my 2003 jeep liberty as described in ea06008.the front right ball joint was repaired pursuant to the recall in 2004 (03v-460).shortly after the recall i observed unusual noises and grinding sensations in the front suspension, so i returned the vehicle to the authorized dealer that had conducted the recall repair.they determined that a heat shield had been installed incorrectly, and adjusted it.approximately 6 months later (august 2004) the noises returned more severely, and a different authorized jeep dealer determined that the front right ball joint had to be replaced, at significant cost to me.most recently, the right front ball joint completely failed just a couple weeks ago (june 2006).this time the right front wheel became completely detached from the steering control bar, resulting in over $3000 in repair costs.luckily, my pregnant wife was driving only 3 mph in a small alley when this occurred.had it occurred at higher speeds, there surely could have been far more tragic consequences.

Ball joint failure three times.emergency brake on five speed never has worked properly.replace engine at 70,000.now the card end joint for the four-wheel drive is not working correctly.my biggest complaint is the ball joint failure for the third time.this issue also causes chain reactions in the tires i have had three sets of tires wear uneven and i wrote the company the first time to complain and got no response.i use my jeep to make my income and do not trust it any more.i do not recommend this vehicle to any one and will not pass it on to any family member.
Both front lower ball joints show excessive wear and "play" to the point where the authorized jeep dealership indicated they need to be replaced as soon as possible.
2003 liberty sport-lower ball joints were replaced due to recall notice.i took the vehicle to a dealer at 24,000 miles with a complaint of ball joint wear.the dealer improperly inspected the ball joints for wear and said there is no wear and they are within spec.also, at the same time inspected the vehicle and passed it.approximately 5000 miles later, after several inspections of the ball joints by myself in the way they specified resulting in no play, the lower ball joint failed and separated.the vehicle crashed to the ground grinding the cv shaft into the ground. The vehicle was towed from the travel lane to the nearest garage. I am looking for input on what my next step should be.i have since called several dodge/jeep dealers and inquired about the procedure to inspect the ball joints and each do it incorrectly.one technician offer to look it up in the jeep liberty service manual and explained the proper way to me.sounds like gross negligence to me....

My tire was flat but upon closer inspection, i discovered metal shavings all over the tire and down the street along my skid path.my car was towed to the nearest jeep dealer which was heritage chrysler jeep in alexandria, va.greg anderson, from heritage jeep, called me on monday, april 12, 2004 and informed me that my ball joints had separated while i was driving the vehicle and that was the cause of the breakdown.he said my vehicle is under a safety recall for this exact problem.i have grave concerns about the safety of this vehicle and the manner in which customers are notified about potentially life threatening defects in their vehicles.1.i did not receive a recall notice in the mail indicating there was a potential serious defect with my vehicle that may cause me to lose control of the vehicle and crash.2.it is my understanding that all vehicles coming into the farrish jeep service department have a function 14 performed which would indicate any outstanding recalls on a vehicle.my vehiicle did not have a function 14 performed on it and not being notified that this work needed to be performed when it was just in for service 5 days prior to my ball joints separating is completely unacceptable.this liberty is my family car that i take my 6 year old and 4 year old sons back and forth to school in every day on the i-495 beltway.i cant imagine what would have happened to me and my family, and other drivers around me, had my ball joints separated on the beltway at 60 miles an hour.

I was driving from canton, ny to corning, ny.at approximately 3:15 pm on feb 2nd i made a right hand turn and experienced a failure in the drivers side ball-joint.the suspension caught on the rim of the tire and i was barely able to get the car most of the way off the road.the car would not move after that.i had to call a tow-truck and he was able to drag the jeep onto a flat-bed and transport the jeep to a local dealer.the dealer was outstanding(peter koch in seneca falls, ny)!they had an emergency set of ball-joints and were able to fix my car that afternoon.the drivers side front rim was ruined and the dealer instructed me to have it replaced.the dealer used the spare rim during the repair.my concern is that 15 minutes earlier i had been driving on the ny state through way and can only imagine what would have happened had this joint failed at 65 mile per hour.i have been on the waiting list at my local dealer for at least three months and may be even 6 months for this recall repair!this is unacceptable!i checked with my local dealer this morning and i am number 31 on the recall list - the dealer said that they receive between zero and 3 sets per week.this is unacceptable.jeep should stop producing new vehicles until this potential life-threatening defect has been fixed in the jeeps that have already been produced.i have seen this defect described as a loosening of the ball-joint.i believe that to be an understatement.this part fails and the result of a failure can be catastrophic.

While driving slowly out of my driveway, my upper ball joint disconnected causing the passenger side front tire to fall off. I did have my children with me however no one was injured. The apparent recall in 06 of the lower ball joints was unknown to me at the time. Chrysler did replace the upper and lower ball joints. I was charged a $150.

My concern now is when will it happen again, it only had 50,000 miles at the time and can i assume it's safe to drive another 50,000. It's not worth putting my kids in danger. How can chrysler assure me that it is fixed!

Groaning/grinding noise in the back wheels at slow speeds, mostly when leaving a parking garage, stop lights, parking lots.brake pedals not depressed at the time.noise increases when temperature is low and humidity is high.noise started at 1,000 miles (less than a month after the date of purchase).taken to dealership who at first could not duplicate the problem.i recorded the noise several times and played to the dealership service manager.in for repairs for the same purpose over 10 times during the 1st year, without success.issue is now with chrysler engineering who appears not to be in any hurry to fix the problem.dealership does not follow-up and does not communicate on the status of this issue.also never received the recall notice.took the car in for the recall service after seing your notice, and was told it might take a couple of months for the recall notices to get out.it's been 6 months, and no recall notice as yet.other issues with this car are another rattling noise that they can't fix.a weather strip on the driver's window that had to be replaced 7 times (so far) because it keeps coming loose.excessive vibration when on the highway at speeds of 70 mph.wind noise coming from every direction, can't hardly hear the radio.radio quality is so bad i can't use it.have to play cds instead.and chrysler won't do a thing to remediate the problems.*la
On june 19, 2008 i was driving on a major highway when the vehicle started to make a loud noise from the rear and 10-15 minutes later i heard a loud thump and the car stopped, i had to roll to a stop an the side of the hwy...when i looked under the car the rear axle had fallen. The jeep has had a rear noise for sometime now. I took it in and was told that the rear axle needed oil it was completely dried up and the metal has been grinding which is why the noise was there.i asked why was there no oil and everyone looked surprised and did not have an answer. Never heard of that, i was told that metal particles where in the oil pan and that the noise will continue but that there was no danger.months later i took the car back tohave that same rear axle oil changed and was told that i do not need to do that again.now 6 months later the cars axle falls out.what is up with that.i have been driving for over 30 years and have owned varies vehicle which i have driven over 230,000 miles and never had the oil in the axles replace.why did this happen to my vehicle?what can i do? i am 4 months shy of paying off this vehicle.what a joke.
On several occasions my car has stalled. Prior to it stalling it would have power surges, backfire, the rpm needle would go crazy, and then just shut off loosing all power to brakes and steering.stalling would occur mostly at lower rates of speeds (under 50mph).it wouldn'tturnover immediately.i would have to wait 20 to 25 seconds each time and then it would start, almost as if the system resets itself.it's pretty scary when you have to young children and your on a freeway and your car all of a sudden stalls. The second problem i'm having is a very loud noise coming from the rear end. I pointed my side mirror down towards my backtire.i watched as the rearend made a load cluncking noise and it was as if the back tire was being pushed outwards.the third problem is my passenger side rear window just dropped into the door.the motor still works i can hear it.and last but no least my left turn signal blinks extremely fast and then sometimes it doesn't.my car is currently at the jeep dealership.i think it's kind of funny that the guy wants to charge me $200 to investigate the problems i'm having to find out what it is.thanks to everyone's complaints i can call him and tell him the problems, as if he didn't already know.goodluck to everyone.

I just want to file a complaint inregard to trailer hitch that was not installed on my jeep liberty. The dealer said even before the part finally came they would have to check the jeep for corrosion.i do not feel my jeep has any more corrosion on the frame then any 2003 jeep would have.i'm sure if i wanted to pay for a trailer hitch ,one would or could be installed.i think since i talked to numerous jeep liberty owners, who were also turned down, that this is chrysler way of getting around the cost of installing the trailer hitch.i believe this is a stall tactic & away chrysler can get around the recall. I hope you can check on the number of hitches that have been installed or if the dealers get a kickback by saying they cannot install a trailer hitch!thank you!

Local service department has wait list of over 100 clients needing the recall units, yet is only receiving 6 or less per month.

To my surprise a search of cbxtn461aa identified several chrysler dealerships that were "selling" the recall parts on ebay while others did not have sufficient units for their clients. This is an unconscionable act of greed. These dealerships should face severe fines for there disregard to the safety of vehicle owners needing these recall parts. Nhtsa needs to put financial punishment clauses into recall agreements to address this type of action. Each of the ebay listings indicate they have greater than 10 units available for purchase. Contact these and any others and have them cease immediately and reallocate their "for sale" units to other dealerships who's clients are waiting on service. The three dealerships on ebay that are selling cbxtn461aa are garden city chrysler hemstead long island, bob boyd cjd lancaster ohio, and elmwood dodge east providence rhode island. Chrysler directors also need to step up and set an example of these dealerships and their deplorable act of disregard for client safety.
2003 jeep liberty limited-humming/vibration on right side of vehicle-extremely bad in the morning but can be heard throughout the day as the vehicle is driven.chrysler tech is aware of this defect in some libertys but doesn't know why it occurs or how to fix the problem.they have instead chosen to call this a normal characteristic of the vehicle. Owners of vehicles with this defect may be at risk since chrysler has no idea what is causing the vibration/humming and no current fix for the problem.*nlm
Consumer was inconvenienced when she dropped her vehicle off for repairs but the dealer had ran out of parts.(nar)*ph
Rear swing gate doesn't open - whether using key fob or unlocking from front, glass window open but swing gate will click but not open up.
Window regulators keep on failing.i have had to replace the regulator in each window at least once, and 2 of them have been replaced more than once.i am about to replace my 7th regulator.3 months ago the regulator failed on my driver's side - back seat door.it got itself hung in the door panel and couldn't open the door, so had to take it to the garage to get fixed.this is not the first complaint, nor the last so something should be done to resolve these issues.the regulator itself still worked, but the housing the chain stays in would break and cause the chain to come out the door panel, and knock the window off its track and damage the glass!
It appears my vehicle has multiple recalls.ford has not contacted me for repairs.
While turning from a green light i was probably going maybe 5-10 mph both my driver and passenger airbags both went off and man those things hurt badly but there was no car collision or anything they just went off out of the blue and there was a lot of smoke and left my ears ringing and parts of the dash came apart
I believe i have 6 recalls on my jeep liberty.i have contacted a dealer closest to me asking for service on my vehicle 3 times in the past 7 months.i have yet to hear from them to get any of these recalls fixed.i want to know where i need to go and take my vehicle to get these recalls fixed.i have not had an accident yet but am holding my breath.[xxx]incorrect vininformation redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'
My key will not turn in the ignition of the 2003 jeep liberty.the steering column was not locked and i tried for about 20 minutes to jiggle/turn the wheel, jiggle the automatic transmission shifter, etc.the key was inserted fully because electrical came on to alert me that the key was in the ignition (when i opened the driver door the warning beeps came on to signify key still in ignition).the ignition simply would not turn.i had to have my car towed to a mechanic and have since learned from online research that this is a very common problem with jeep liberty's and many chrysler products.the solutions seem to be patchwork workarounds that people have come up with independent of chrysler's help.
I bought a used 2003 jeep liberty sport and after 1 month i had it at the shop where my mechanic discovered the problem as a safety recall from the factory, i was then referred to the local dodge /jeep dealership where my car was stated as "unsafe" to drive. I dropped the car off thinking i would have it back within 2 days maximum, after almost 1 week i called and requested a rental or loaner vehicle and was informed by the service technicians that they do not offer such service, as well as they have no idea when they will get the parts to fix my vehicle so they have my car and i have nothing to drive. I then contacted chrysler llc myself and requested they provide a rental since mine was in for safety recalls. They at first refused stating that it is because i am the 3rd owner of the vehicle, once i argue the fact that it shouldn't matter since it is a safety issue not something i did, they should still be responsible they finally decide to supply a rental by end of the day (9/25/13). I went up to enterprise to wait for a car and while i was there waiting i get informed that chrysler has changed their mind and this time due to the vehicle not being under warranty, again something that shouldn't matter as it is a safety recall. So at this point i am a single mom with 4 children and i have no vehicle to care for them and no time frame as to when i will have mine back. Is there any way i can get some assistance with this? i feel that since it is their vehicle and it is a factory recall they should be responsible for providing alternate transportation until the work on mine is completed.
My 2003 jeep liberty has been shutting off while i am driving it. This problem has been on going for about 4 months now and i have taken it in to fix it multiple times. I almost got into a very bad crash recently because of the issue and as a 19 year old girl its a very scary issue to be dealing with. I have put in $400 for new spark plugs which didn't' even fix the problem as well as new tires and brakes. This little car problem is taken a toll on my whole life. I did some research and found i am not the only one yet still no answers. What happens while im driving usually if im braking and or turning my car will shut off the oil light will turn on for a second and beep and then if i want it to keep going i have to turn the key again and it will start butthis is no longer okay and the problem should be known to jeep owners or future buyers especially of my model. Please take my complaint in consideration and let me know if anyone has any answers. Thank you, [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).?
Received notice about r06, which is a recall fixing the original recall for this issue with the airbag and restraint system.i received this notice in february 2015, almost 6 months ago, and no remedy is available yet.i feel this is an excessive amount of time, and should've had a solution by now, or at the very least jeep contacting me again, and saying "i know we have not resolved the outstanding recall, and we apologize however we are working on the situation".if this was done, at least i'd know there still trying to do something to resolve it, instead of getting the run around when calling the dealership.
On 8-15-2018, i (driver/owner of a 2003 jeep liberty sport) was leaving my parking spot at a convenience store. When i put the vehicle in reverse, it immediately started speeding backwards. When i applied the brakes with all the force i could muster, it failed to stop the vehicle. The tires were squealing & black tire marks were left on the pavement. My vehicle stopped when i slammed into the front end of a parked car which was next to a gas pump with the driver inside. Fortunately nobody was hurt. No police report was filed but my insurance company was called immediately to report it."takata recall"i went to the local jeep dealership (bluebonnet jeep in new braunfels,tx.) with the recall notice in hand. The employee in the drive-up service lanecalled the office to verify if part was in stock. It was not. She made an appointment for 2 weeks from that date. I returned with my vehicle on my scheduled appointment date & was notified by a different employee that part(s) were still not available & was told that an individual needed to inspect my vehicle first but he didn't know when the inspector would be available to do it. I told that employee that they weren't serious about replacing the part(s) needed. So i got back in my car & drove home.
I have repaired my electric windows twice, driver side, rear passenger side and now front passenger side. This has cost me several hundred dollars for two regulators and now i can't fix the recent passenger window.
A recall was made for jeep liberty for the control arms upper and lower and the ball joints. I was told my vin did not have the recall. However, others had the recall and jeep paid for the repairs. After the repairs the wheel hub went bad, and a recall was made for that but not my basic model. After replacing the wheel hub the driveshaft was damaged by all the issues. A recall for the same vehicle was made for a driveshaft and again the bass model was not included in the recall. This time jeep said they would fix the driveshaft and when it came time they denied it.
After safety recall n46 &r06 jeep didn't inspect the tank and there's gas leak, as it on the video https://youtu.be/u-67o4tnsjw. When they give me back my vehicle i had a lot of electrical issues like windows doesn't work and vehicle stopped on the road. This is very dangerous and they don't care. Vehicle is stationery because i'm afraid to fire like more than 50 people in my jeep liberty
When changing a front tire on my 2003 jeep liberty limited, i discovered that the jack does not completely seat into the notch on the body weld seam. The edges of the notch are sloped. The width of the jack allows it to only go about half way into the notch.after jacking up my liberty and beginning to change the tire, the jack slipped. No damage or injury resulted, but this could cause problems.the local jeep dealer's solution was to grind out the notch. I don't know if this problem is limited to my liberty or if the dealer reported this to jeep.
Back passenger window pump went out around 80,000 miles- was not replaced because the price to fix was quoted for at least $600; back driver's side window pump went out at 105,000 miles - prices have seemed to come down for repairs and am looking to get it replaced but it seems soon to have to replace this

Unable to complete recall, including m35 orc filter circut, n46 trailer hitch, and r06 orc module, due to "excessive corrosion", on 7/22/2015 at victory dealership in rome, n.y.they suggested i bring my jeep to a fabrication shop to repair, which i did today, 7/29/2015.cny precision welding and custom fabrication, located in rome, n.y., repaired the vehicle for $350, but they wondered why the hitch couldn't have been installed previously.i will bring the jeep back to victory as soon as i can get another appointment. My complaint is that i am a single mom with no safe car to drive!why couldn't they fix the other recall issues?they don't even have the parts for the airbag issue yet.what is really upsetting is a quote i found from the new york times, "but under federal regulations, automakers undertaking a recall cannot opt to repair some of the affected vehicles and not others, said allan kam, who worked for the highway safety agency from 1975 to 2000.they can't be selective and say, "if they are rusty, they don't get the remedy," mr. Kam said in a telephone interview, "if you can't repair it, you replace it or buy it back."is any part of the previous quote true?i really need to get some clear direction from the fiat chrysler company before i borrow more money to fix an unfixable car.i can't afford this mess.i'm taking an emotional beating here.i don't even want my child in a car that can have an airbag go off at any time or aa gas tank explode!this is just terrifying.
Within the past year, my 2002 jeep liberty limited has had a sudden loss of power and mobility.the vehicle tends to roughly shake. The steering wheel wobbles/shakes along with the entire car.it's a random problem and does not happen on a daily basis.the vehicle has been to the dealership and they cannot find anything wrong with the liberty.they say that we need 4 brand new tires because they feel since we did not have the tires rotated this is what is causing the problem.the problem happens many times a week.sometimes it will go for a week or so and be fine.other times, it will occur on a regular basis.
I have a 2003 jeep liberty for which i heard re: recall some months back. I inquired at my dealership in aug ( greenbriar jeep) and was told i would get a notice. Well, i did receive notice 11/12. When i called dealer today 11/13, i was told they did not have parts, and the parts were already 2 weeks behind. If this is a safety issue there should be enough repair kits for all vehicles involved. Is there anyway of expediting this repair? i am very concerned with this kind of delay where safety in driving the vehicle is in question. Respectfully submitted, m. Sherman.
While driving at 35 mph, observed that ignition key was loose.pulled on key and it came out of the ignition switch and car was still running normally.
My airbag light was showing up intermitent , now will stay on permanent. I am afraid to drive it and have an accident.
Vehicle has approximately 69,500 miles - while in motion on a city street during the evening, the rear passenger window fell into the door frame. Research indicates jeep liberty has defective window regulators which causes same to happen and no recall has been issued by chrysler.

Transmission hesitates / lurches randomly.car stalls out, increasingly frequently despite repairs.when engine cuts out, lose all power steering brakes etc - so far only at low speeds but progressively worse - seems very similar to jeep commander recall at higher speeds.rpm needle goes wild after engine cuts out.can restart and limp a few miles, then need tow - 2x towed in 1 week, 3x towed in 2 months, and 4 trips to shop without results.car currently stuck upstate ny where i was trying to vacation -and chrysler/jeep not so cooperative.there's plenty evidence of stalling problems on internet for 4-5 years - see edmunds.theories:deceleration / rpms below 1000 make engine cut out.solenoid is pulling battery amps =12 and causing havoc in ignition system, short-circuiting sensors.thermal computer module damage.computer scans for diagnostic codes definitely not reliable.by relying only on computer module for diagnosis, dealers are only making the problem worse because they are sending cars back out without fixing root problem, causing more damage. I had wheel sensor found corroded 6/3, crank sensor fail 8/6 and cam sensor failed 8/10.sensors don't fail sequentially nor so fast.something is causing sensors to fail.and while sensors not working they are causing damage of their own...computer, ignition coils (all 6 needed repair in 1 case where burned out).who knows if the spark plugs, fuel pumps, injection cleans, and throttle body cleans work ornot.(some say tb cleanout is important if stalls are at lower speeds - less air inflow).battery seemed to have issues too soon - may be related.one case where harness wiring rubbed against rear something causing probs.my speedometer broke after 1 sensor repair.separately (unless water and corrosion are the real culprits) brakes and rotors wearing out - replaced 2x in 40k miles.not right.some blog on that, too.
I have a jeep liberty limited 2003 leased on october 2002.ive had to bring the vehicle in for service seven times for the same problem and the dealer has not repaired it. The problem is that while driving at speeds anywhere from 30- 65andwhile trying to accelerate from a complete stop the vehicle will start to buck and hesitate, the speedometer will swing back and forth and the vehicle suddenly loses speed and then regains it. I've almost been hit by another vehicle on the palisades parkwayon three separate occasions. The failure started on april 28,2004 at 32,000 miles it now has 34,600 miles and it has reoccurred after all seven times of going in for repair of same condition after the dealership at central ave chrysler jeep in yonkers,claims to have repaired it. The dealership will not honor the warranty by properly repairing or replacing vehicle.
I was coming to a complete stop at a speed of 30 mph and had my foot on the brake.the engine continued to accelerate while i was pressing as hard as i could on the brake. The car lurched far enough forward to hit the bumper of the car in front of me.this is the second of two occurrences.the first was similar in nature.i was exiting the freeway after having the speed control activated.i was coming to a stop-the vehicle violently accelerated and lurched unexpectedly into the intersection. Luckily, no other car was present.again, i pressed as hard as i could, but the vehicle continued to accelerate. I quickly change to neutral, where the engine rapidly revved to over 6,000r pm's.i am not sure what i did to finally make it stop-to frightened to remember!

Three car crashes since october 2004.all between 5-15 mph. All where rear-end collisions by my vehicle.did not make any connection between the three accidents until the third accident yesterday when i rear-ended a car.from a stopped position i was approximately one and a half car lengths behind a vehicle.the car in front moved forward but stopped, i did the same, but my car continued to accelerate even though i slammed on the brakes.in all three accidents it seemed my car continued to acccelerate even though i had room for the brakes to prevent these accidents.i considered the first two accidents unavoidable until the accident yesterday so i did not consider there was any type of vehicle failure in the first two incidents. I've become very aware of tail gating and left room between the car in front of me.before october 2004 i have not had an accident in 15-20 years.in the last 8 years i've lived in houston i've not had any accidents.
While traveling rt. 36 about 10 miles south of roaring springs, pa my 2003 jeep liberty suddenly accelerated and i had no braking control.i swerved across the2 lane highway onto the berm, for fear of hitting oncoming traffic.i lost all steering control that i later found to be a broken tie rod on the right front.the vehicle continued in a circular manner at an excessive speed and with two feet pressing on the brake. I could not stop.eventually the vehicle went over a stone embankment and fell about 15 feet and finally came to rest on a plateau just above a creekbed. Because of a multiplicity of very large stones, every panel of the jeep liberty was severely, with one exception and that was the roof. My wife and i were seriously and hurt and transported by ambulance the closest trauma center, the altoona hospital. My wife wasdiagnosed with a broken back and i was intensive care.the state police interviewed me over the phone while i was in the hospital andbecause of the unexplained nature of the accident, decided to write me up for excessive speed.they also charged me two points on my license.the car was totaled by a usaa authorized appraiser. I never contacted you, but i did contact usaa and told them something suspicious happened to that vehicle. The great publicity of the runaway toyotas made me recall this incident.
While traveling on damp pavement in damp/misty (but not rainy) conditions, on a roadway with a moderate uphill slope and gradual left curve, the cruise control down-shifted from over-drive directly into 1st gear.the increased torque on the rear wheels/tires caused the car to lose rear wheel traction and the subsequent complete loss of control of the car.the jeep liberty spun around a total of 540 degrees and came to rest in a ditch off the opposite side of the road, some damage.this characteristic of the cruise control downshifting multiple gears has been confirmed on many other occasions in this model of car, nearly causing loss of control depending on roadway conditions.
Dt: the contact stated while driving the vehicle suddenly lurched forward at a high speed.he called a towing service that inspected the vehicle and discovered the throttle was stuck.the towing service was able to free the throttle cable, and towed the vehicle to the dealer.the dealer was unable to duplicate the problem.

I have 1 more year left on the lease and chrysler will not take me out of the lease.
My husband was sitting at a complete stop at a walgreen pharmacy drive-throughhe stepped on the accelerator as he was leaving, and quickly let off the accelerator to make the turn to go around the building.however, the jeep kept picking up speed.he stepped on the brakes, and kept pressing on them,but the jeep kept going faster, only stopping when it jumped the curb and hit a brick wall.he had very little time to react.the distance from where he accelerated to the brick wall was approximately 50 feet.the skid marks started after he traveled approximately 14 feet, and were approximately 34 feet long before he hit the curb.there was another 2 feet between the curb and the wall.it damaged the bumper, tore off right front fender, crumpled the right front quarter panel, damaged some of the lights, flattened both front tires, and broke the right rim.he contacted chrysler, and filed a complaint.chrysler sent an engineerto examine the collision , and afterwards they sent a letter denying our claim.car was still sitting at dealer where it was towed.

Both rear windows have fallen into window tracks due to failure of a $.05 piece of plastic.the dealer repair is $600 to replace window actuator with no promise that the failure will not happen again, since the exact same part that fails is the exact same part that is replaced.it is simply a disgrace that an individual can "google" this issue on jeep liberty's and see that this happens everyday and has happened tp thousands of owners.how can chrysler get away with this, and not be forced to repair a faulty part that is known to fail time and time again?
Power windows in jeep liberty continue to fall down.this has happened on 3 different occasion with my car.first incident jeep covered the repair under warranty.2nd incident i was charged a $25 deductible; 3rd time a year later the deductible increased to $100.why isn't this a safety recall issue?in a parking lot anyone could steal the car having easy access with a window that drops down inside the door.not to mention sitting at a traffic signal, when someone could easily unlock the door and jump into my car.i have a 2003 jeep, but reading through websites this has been a continuing problem every year since at last 2001.why hasn't jeep been able to come up with a reliable fix for this problem?
The contact owns a 2003 jeep liberty.

2003 jeep liberty passenger and driver rear window regulators fail and window falls down unexpectedly.replaced twice, now replacing third window.dealer says plastic parts used - knows of problem yet dealer or chrysler will not pay for either defective part and/or service.wrote letter to chrysler oct. 10,2007 concerning issue - given complaint number.i requested refund for defective parts - chrysler has not replied. Will contact again.concern for others having small children in back.window could fall and child could accidentally fall out of moving vehicle.needs immediate attention.
Rear window regulator had to be replaced twice. The repair facility no longer will repair/replace the regulator, since the dealer no longer will accept responsibility and refuses to warranty the regulator. The regulator obviously is a manufacture defect, but chrsyler/jeep is not being held responsible, therefore continues to charge the consumer for new replacements. The first replacement was in 2006, the second in 2007, and is currently held in place by wire. I cannot afford to continue replacing a defective part.
Drivers side front regulator broken. Plastic tube covering over drive cable shattered. "spring" drive cable rises up out of door on interior of window. Not able to find replacement part on internet. Research showing many issues with regulators.
Although i live in a warm climate on a rare cold and rainy day the rear window on my 2003 jeep liberty dropped open.driving with rain entering the passenger compartment made the trip hazardous.i was able to prop the window up once i reached my destination. I had both the right and left rear windows go bad within one week of each other in june 2009 costing me $500.00 to repair.prior to that i had regulators go r bad for the same windows.in all cases new regulators had to be ordered. On occasions where the window could not be propped i had to cover the window with plastic in order to keep the rain out.that did not help the security concern.also on the last repair occasion it took the dealer one month to get the parts.
I own a 2003 jeep liberty. The rear drivers side window slipped off the track in 2008. I was told it would be over $400 to repair at dealer. Then on feb 20 2008 the other rear window slipped off the track and began to fall into the door. The windows will not stay up on their own and i feel that there have been far too many complaints for chrysler to not make this a recall issue. I called the dealer and they asked me to contact chrysler. I spoke with chrysler and they have my information and have sent it on to the resolution team and i should receive a call by monday 6pm 3/1/10.
On several occasions my car has stalled. Prior to it stalling it would have power surges, backfire, the rpm needle would go crazy, and then just shut off loosing all power to brakes and steering.stalling would occur mostly at lower rates of speeds (under 50mph).it wouldn'tturnover immediately.i would have to wait 20 to 25 seconds each time and then it would start, almost as if the system resets itself.it's pretty scary when you have to young children and your on a freeway and your car all of a sudden stalls. The second problem i'm having is a very loud noise coming from the rear end. I pointed my side mirror down towards my backtire.i watched as the rearend made a load cluncking noise and it was as if the back tire was being pushed outwards.the third problem is my passenger side rear window just dropped into the door.the motor still works i can hear it.and last but no least my left turn signal blinks extremely fast and then sometimes it doesn't.my car is currently at the jeep dealership.i think it's kind of funny that the guy wants to charge me $200 to investigate the problems i'm having to find out what it is.thanks to everyone's complaints i can call him and tell him the problems, as if he didn't already know.goodluck to everyone.
Windows fall out of track, down into door. 2003 jeep liberty this has happened 3 times in 1 year.
The blower switch on the dash for heat ,defrost,air, etc. Failed and only works on the highest setting. This is odd because, three different models of chrysler in my family this all happen to. Jeep, liberty, jeep, wrangler, and dodge, caravan. I would say this is a issue but no answers from chrysler.

Window regulators keep on failing.i have had to replace the regulator in each window at least once, and 2 of them have been replaced more than once.i am about to replace my 7th regulator.3 months ago the regulator failed on my driver's side - back seat door.it got itself hung in the door panel and couldn't open the door, so had to take it to the garage to get fixed.this is not the first complaint, nor the last so something should be done to resolve these issues.the regulator itself still worked, but the housing the chain stays in would break and cause the chain to come out the door panel, and knock the window off its track and damage the glass!
I have a few issues and questions. I purchased my jeep thru navy exchange sales in 2003, new. I lived in singapore 2007-2013, all recalls posted for these years were not performed on my vehicle as the car was in storage and no one drove it. How can i get these previous years recalls completed for my 2003 liberty jeep?i currently have a outstanding recall from nov 2015 that was reviewed by the jeep dealer southern jeep, located on military highway and i have yet to receive any feedback wrt the status of the repair, evaluation etc...

The rear windows on my 2003 jeep liberty stopped working. They would not move up or down using the buttons. The only wayto keep them up is to put tape on them.at first the only time the window would come down was when i would be driving. Then they would not stay up at all. This created a problem when it was raining. There were times when my entire backseat was wet because of the windows fallen down. A mechanic told me it was the window regulator. I just had a mechanic repair one of the windows. It cost me $385 dollars to get one window repaired. I could only afford to get one done, so i still have tape on the other window. The dealership quoted me an estimate of $600. Also, i am concerned because other owners said they have had to change out the regulators more than once. I would not be able to keep replacing those regulators. And i do have the old part from the one window that was changed.
The contact owns a 2003 jeep liberty. The contact stated that over a span of seven years, each of the windows failed and dropped down into the door panel abnormally. The failure occurred while the contact was driving and while the vehicle was parked. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times and an independent mechanic to be repaired for a total of five times. The contact was informed that a plastic part within the window mechanism had melted, causing the glass to drop down into the door panel. The failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 42,000. The vin was unavailable.
Control mechanism for the right rear electricwindow broke and window fell down.would not roll up.mechanic said control was broken and that whole control mechanism would have to be replaced as that is the only way that jeep sell part even though only part of mechanism was broken and electric motor still worked.very expensive repair for a part that should be sold separately.i have seen other similar complaints.looks like this is a faulty part on the jeep liberty.car only had 68,000 miles even though it is a 2003.
Passenger rear window fell into the door. The dealership informed me that this is a common problem in the jeep liberty. The regulator assembly had to be replace. Is there a recall on this part? updated 4/24/2015
Six times windows (both sides, front and back) have fallen at different times inside the door of my jeep liberty.today the falling window also resulted in the door not being able to open. This definitely is a hazard when you have small children riding in the back seat -- since they cannot ride in the front due to the air bags.this is a well-known hazard to chrysler jeep and they will not waive the cost of the repair or the deductible on the warranty.and the problem keeps happening.i figure that a window on this vehicle lasts about 10,000 miles because i only have 66,000 miles and this is the sixth time it has happened.this is dangerous and there should be a recall on this problem and the problem should be permanently repaired free of charge.
The window regulator has broken in both of my rear windows multiple times.it broke in the rear driver's side window on: jan. 2005, jun. 2008, jan. 2010, & oct. 2011.it has also broken in the rear passenger's side window on: sept. 2005; dec. 2007; sept. 2009; oct. 2010; & jan. 2012.that would be a total of 9 times.obviously the part that is being used is inferior since it continually breaks and at best lasts around 2 years.i have calculated that this part has cost me a grand total of $1,295.jeep has offered assistance in paying for the repairs but i have always had some financial responsibility.i feel that this is a safety hazard because when the part malfunctions the window slides all the way into the door.this could be a potential safety issue if i had young children riding in the backseat.i feel like jeep is using a substandard part so they can continue to make money off of me.
I have a 2003 jeep liberty and the electric window motors have gone out 4 times from 2007 to present.3 motor/regulators have stopped working in the rear drive window (the original and 2 replacements), and now the passenger side window motor is out.the window just drops and will only move manually.
Rear window driver's side fell down - window regulator replaced (2006). Rear windowpassenger side fell down- window regulator replaced (2008). Rear window passenger side fell down - window regulator replaced (2009 part under warranty). Rear window driver's side fell down- window regulator not yet replaced (2009). No old parts available except one that has yet to be replaced. Contacted customer assistance in auburn hills, mi and was told that there was nothing they could do for me. I asked if there were any records ofdefect for this part or if any other owners had similar complaints and was told that they don't keep those sort of records. Since this time i have come in contact with 3 parties that have the same problem with this part (faulty window regulator) i believe there are many more that have a problem with this part and that the manufacturer should be held responsible for repairs and reimbursement for repairs already completed (by dealer or other).
Rear window actuators will break without warning and drop the rear windows completely while driving. Since this model of liberty has the "severe buffeting" problem when this happens, it can cause incredible surprise and disoriented to the point a possible accident. This has happened three times and the dealer refuses to fix them anymore. Both windows are semi-permanently manually fixed in place by me.
This is the second jeep liberty i have owned and in the past 2 years i have had to replace every window regulator in both of them. From what i have read online, this is an on-going situation. One window regulator i had fixed a year ago just broke again yesterday. I work at a prison and my vehicle must remain locked and secure at all times or i cannot drive it to work, and it is a headache wondering if the temporarily taped up window (until the part comes in) will fall down into the door and i cannot drive it until it is fixed. Please recall these things.
While driving my 2003 jeep liberty sport, i heard a loud and distracting thud, only to discover that the back window on the drivers side had fallen into the door. The door also became jammed and i was unable to open it from either the inside or outside of the vehicle. This happened to the other back widow just 9 months prior to this incident. At that time i took my vehicle to an auto repair shop, and paid to have it fixed.i have read several complaints about this happening in the jeep liberty. The issue is a cheap, plastic part used in the window regulator. This is a design flaw, and chrysler will only replace this part with another cheap plastic part, rather than using a sturdier metal part. This is an expense issue as well as a safety issue. The noise the window makes when it falls is very distracting. All the doors and windows should be functioning properly in case of emergencies, and the driver should be able to control the windows, in order to avoid dangerous debris flying into the car, not to mention having some control over outside elements. (weather) chrysler really should do a recall, and stop charging jeep owners to fix what is their fault in the first place-it is a design flaw in the jeep liberty. Many reports from jeep owners mention this happening to the same window, or multiple windows over and over. There ought to be a class action lawsuit against chrysler.
2003 jeep liberty- power window regulator broken poor design have had several issues with windows dealer quoted $400 to fix.
While highway driving both rear windows came crashing down resulting in one window breaking brought it to have fixed was told plastic clip that hold the window up for the electric motor failed replaced both motors and had window fixed all factory parts were used happened again on 3/13/2013 appears the plastic clip keeps breaking will need to replace both motors and assembly again at a cost of 600$ right now both windows being held up by wooden stakes cant afford to keep replacing parts at no guarantee that this will not happen again.
Without warning, the power window regulators in my 2003 jeep liberty sport failed.both the driver and passenger rear windows stopped working within months of each other.i had them fixed and now just a few months later the passenger side window in the rear has stopped working again.i have read that this is a common problem with the jeep liberty.the faulty part(s) need to be recalled and fixed.
Three(3) broken window regulators.
All four windows have fallen down into door.2 of which were replaced a month ago.the other 2 fell two weeks after taken to dealership.i was charges $100 for first time.they said they looked at the other two and they were ok.now they want another $100 for the other two.
On october 17, 2013 the left rear window decided to drop down.i was fortunate enough that the window did not fall completely into the door space.i was able to pull the window up and for safety measures, i taped the window up. The motor still runs when trying to raise the window but nothing happens in raising the window.i found that there have been many complaints about the window regulators. In 2007 chrysler did an extended warranty for 7 years and unlimited miles but i am told there is no help with the 2003 models although there are many complaints of the same problem.. This is obviously a problem that has plagued the jeep liberty for quite some time and i do not understand why chrysler would not take care of it. I do not have the $335.00 to repair this and wintertime is already here. I am trying to do research on the problem but it is hard to fight for the repair when chrysler keeps telling me my vehicle is not covered. I found a class action lawsuit about the problem and it seems like it was on behalf of jeep owners nationwide but will probably have to search more information on the outcome of it:[xxx] v. Chrysler group, llc, class action case no. [xxx] blm) the chrysler jeep liberty door and/or window regulator class action lawsuit complaint is reportedly brought on behalf of the following putative classes of persons, unless otherwise excluded:during the fullest period allowed by law, all persons and entities nationwide that purchased or leased a covered vehicle manufactured by chrysler. Covered vehicle is defined to include model year 2002 through 2007 jeep liberty vehicles. (??the nationwide class??)it is certainly not a comfortable feeling knowing that at anytime if the tape lets loose, this window can fall into the door, break into the vehicle...unknown injuries can occur. I will keep searching for answers.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
When i was sold my 2003 jeep liberty without a working a/c, i was forced to use my windows as a means of ventilation and cooling these past almost four years.(the a/c is another story.)my rear passenger window started to make gargling type noises as i rolled it down and up about two months ago.then my front passenger window began to make a similar sound.however, when attempting to roll it back up 2 weeks ago it would not come all the way up.as i pressed on the window button for a few seconds this coil came up from inside the door and the window would not go up any farther.so, i had a mechanic friend open the door to check out the problem and he said the foam piece (regulator) was broken.another friend and i researched the problem online and came across numerous unsatisfied customers who are dealing with the same issue!i got the number of a local dealership and the service person looked up my vin to see if there are any recalls on my liberty.to my dismay there are none.so, his guess to fix my problem would be $300 - 600...for one window!!there's no way i'm able to pay for even half of that outrageous cost!with one window out of commission, the rear passenger window is still gargling at me so i try not to use it.however, without a working a/c on these hot days it's such a disgrace to not be able to use my windows!plus, i drive a lot for work and transport people...not good!! today i came across this website.i'm not sure what this is going to do to help my situation (and others in the same leaking boat), but it was worth a shot.i'm tempted to go through the other websites to order the part myself and then fix it myself.is this a wise decision, or should i wait to see what comes of this complaint?it's a shame that big corporations are allowed to do this to their trusting consumers.from all of us "little people", we appreciate any help we're able to get from this ridiculous situation.
Driving car and it just cut off..this is the third time over the years...first time when car was purchased new in 2003 at carmax in their driveway...then a couple of years ago on expressway..cost 1,600 for repairs at dealership..then again 4-20-2012..the car has had four window motor replacements and two computer replacements..the car is dangerous..i have checked internet..these are issues across the usa.the car should be recalled..it is dangerous..will contact president obama also and the news media.updated 11/01/12
Jeep liberty 2003. Rear windows up/down mechanic breaks... Poor construction.. It breaks and the window fall down, leaving it open and with kids on the back sit are instantly exposed with the risk of putting parts of their bodies to the outside of the car. There are thousands of jeep users complaining on the internet... Jeep has not step up to recall those defectives rear windows.
Two of the rear windows have failed. Both of them dropped for no apparent reason and would not work to close them. One of the failed in 3/2013 and the other one failed today while i was driving 60 mph on the freeway. I know that jeep has had many complaints regarding the failure of their windows. I know that it is going to cost at lease $300 to repair each window. I have not been able to afford to repair the first failed window. I have had to use duct tape over and over to try and keep it closed. Now the second window has failed and is trapped inside the door frame. Jeep needs to recall these defective windows.
Passenger side rear window falls open creating a security risk for vehicle driver and contents.window regulator has been replaced by a franchised jeep dealer six times - once a year for the last six years.
Driving along and rear right power window started to slip down. I tried to put it up but it made grinding noises and kept slipping. It started to rain, so rain came into vehicle. Also could not go to doc appt - could not leave unsecured vehicle in parking lot. Had to come home and stick a wooden wedge into window to keep it up. I was afraid window would fall into door frame and break. Hard to pay attention to road while constantly looking over shoulder at window.
I also have a 2003 jeep liberty and i have had to replace my driver side rear passenger window regulator 3 times.it is made out of cheap plastic.the motor still works but the plastic piece just wears to nothing if you use the window.the replacement is a one unit system and it needs to be made stronger.
Power windows failing to stay up due to faulty regulators: two years ago the rear left window of my 2003 liberty fell into the door casing. When using the atomatic buttons, the window would not go up and the window motor would simply attempt to raise the window with no success. Upon taking it to the jeep dealer, they stated the window regulator neeeded to be replaced. After paying $227.94, my window was fixed and back to normal. Surprisingly, a few months later, the right window fell while driving on the highway (this is a major safety issue). Back to the same dealership we went, for a second and unnecessary diagnostic (the maintence man said this was a problem he had frequently seen) to determine the regulator was broken. I paid to have the second window fixed and continued to drive my car. This week, the left rear window fell again while driving down the street in my neighborhood (20 mph). I contacted jeep headquarters directly after researching online (inculding the nhtsa website) that this is clearly not an isolated incident and they have neglected to address the saftey issue with their automobile owners. They are requesting that i take my jeep back in for another diagnostic, and to confirm there has been no "neglect" of maintenance on my part. My jeep has just over 65,000 miles ' it is in perfect condition with the exception of faulty windows. Upon inspection of the dealer this week, jeep says they will determine the next step depending on the results. This issue is dangerous for multiple reasons - children riding in the car, the frightening noise made from the dropping window, lack of security when parking the car/at a stop, weather (rain, hail, snow, etc.), drivers startled by the drop and attempting to assess the situation while driving, etc. According to jeep headquarters via phone, they dishonestly claim to be unaware of the situation.
My rear windows have fallen 4 times (2 times each) since i've owned the vehicle.the regulator/motor has failed each time. The regulator/motor came directly from jeep each time.i've spent approximately $1300 to fix these flaws.
My rear passenger side power window fell down and would not go back up.i tried the automatic push buttons and all my other windows worked, but not that particular window.then the cord got caught and i could not open the door for my friend to get out of the back seat.i did not hit anything with my car and nothing hit my car.the window fell down on its own.
Computer failure, engine cut off, interior lights, five window motors and glass..car should be recalled..safety issues.
Power window regulators on my 2003 jeep liberty have been replaced by jeep during warranty, then by me post warranty a total of 6 times.each regulator assembly costs me $172 and they only appear to last 1-2 years, even with minimal usage.
The contact owns a 2003 jeep liberty. The contact stated the rear passenger side window glass dropped into the door frame. Themanufacturer was contacted but did not offer any assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and the current mileages were 89,373.
I have 2003 jeep liberty and the passenger side window motor has went out. I searched the internet and found alot of other people has had the same problem. When i remove the motor it was made of cheap plastic i can not believe they did this knowing that it would break so easy.
I purchased my jeep liberty in 2003. About 2 years after purchase, the first window regulator went out. Unfortunately, there were only warranty's to cover the repair for 2006-2007 models, requiring me to pay for the repair. The regulator went out 2 more times over the next 3 years - with out of pocket costs each time to repair. The 4th time the regulator went out, i contacted jeep, explained the situation and they were happy to oblige. Jeep had to pay for regulator one more time, as another went out just a few months later. This totals 5 incidents (3 out of pocket; 2 paid by jeep). I am now on the 6th time the regulator has gone out. I contacted jeep, but they have chosen not to pay for this repair and says it is not their issue. I highly disagree, as this is an issue that should have been recalled years ago. Not only does this create a safety issue with a window that does not stay up, but we are now approaching cold, winter weather. It is my request that all jeep window regulators get the same treatment and fixed regardless of age of vehicle, make, model and/or mileage.
Rear passenger side window fell of track. Came outside to the car and noticed the window was rolled down slightly. Tried to roll up and i can hear the motor but nothing happened. Im guessing its probably a cable that snapped. Did a little research and it seems that im not the only liberty owner with this problem.
The contact owns a 2003 jeep liberty. The contact stated the windows electric motor was defective which caused the windows to roll down automatically without any warning.

I have a 2003 jeep liberty, as i was crossing a rr track the back passenger window went down by itself. The local jeep dealer says it is going to cost $400 to $500 to repair, i could not afford it so had to put a peg in the window to hold it up, about 1 year later my son rolled down the back driver side and it would not roll up, it is same thing happened on the other window, as i was looking online this is happening alot. I am wondering along with lots of other people why the is no recall been placed on considering there are so many cases. Just because no injuries have occurred does not mean they should get away with not fixing their bad parts. If it was one or two cases i could see them not fixing it but all i have read online it is way more than that. We the consumer should be protected from the big automakers.
The contact owns a 2003 jeep liberty. The contact stated that the front and rear passenger windows had fallen down into the door panel.

Window regulator, which is manufactured of cheap plastic, has broken and caused window to fall. Car exposed to elements overnight.
On my 2003 jeep liberty renegade while driving home on i-15 the door light came onthe dash it was obvious a window was also open as the on rush of wind, i pulled over to find the back door was ajar and the window was down, i pulled on the handle to check it out and close the door, and a red looking type of coil approx 10 inches long was sticking out and laying across the door lock and jamming the door locking device inside the door, i had to shove it back into the door lock assembly to get the door shut. This red coil is the mechanism that controls the window as my left rear window regulator has failed and the window stays all the way down. This is an ongoing problem with all four windows, the last time it was in for repair was 4 months ago and it cost me money each time, this is the second time it has caused the door to pop open while the vehicle was moving. I have had it in for window regulator problems approx 12 times. Thank you for looking into this for me as thedodge reps just shrug their shoulders like they don't believe it or just don't care. Something has to be done about this hazard,lemon law, national news, class action , something. Next time i will take a photo , and call witnesses.
Window regulator inside the rear passenger door broke and caused the worm cord to shoot out of the door locking mechanism. Therefore the window fell inside of door and door would not shut or lock and the window will no longer mechanically move up or down.
The contact owns a 2003 jeep liberty. The contact was driving approximately 35 mph when suddenly the rear passenger side window glass released downward in the open position. The contact temporarily secured the window glass with duck tape and the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where they advised that the failure was related to a defective window regulator.the dealer also advised that the failure was a common issue with the make and model vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000. The vin was unavailable.
Twice now on my 2003 jeep liberty the passenger side rear window has fallen into the door.the first time this happened was in approx 2007.both times when i noticed that the window was partially down, i tried to roll it back up, but it wouldn't move.i then tried to pull it back up and the entire window fell down into the door.the first time it cost approx $400 to reattach the window and replace the faulty connector part.not yet sure what the cost will be for this repair.this is very dangerous with my daughter riding in the back seat.apparently, there have been hundreds of similar complaints with these windows failing multiple times on the same car... This should definitely be a recall!see http://www.carcomplaints.com/jeep/liberty/2006/windows_windshield/window_regulator_breaks.shtml.
The rear passenger side window is broken again.i've already had the window regulator fixed on that side 3 (2005, 2007, & 2008) previous times.one time being only 14 months ago.this will be the fourth time i've had to have the window regulator fixed on the rear passenger window.i never roll my windows down.
The contact owns a 2003 jeep liberty.while driving approximately 15 mph, the engine warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel.suddenly, the engine failed without warning.the driver pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road.the engine failed to restart and roadside assistance was called to the scene.the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic for inspection and the technician replaced the crankshaft sensor.in addition, the front and rear passenger and driver's side power window regulators were replaced twice.the vin was unable to be entered into the system.the failure and current mileages were 57,000.
Both rear passenger windows on my 2003 jeep liberty have fallen off of the track.when i took my car into the dealership, a man who worked there informed me that this happens "all the time to liberty's."he claimed the motor was too small.i was upset when the dealership wanted $350 to fix the problem.i live in an area where it rains often, and the window slipping allows for water to get in.furthermore, a friend who owns a liberty has the same problem.i am wondering how common this problem really is, and whether or not there should be a recall.
I have had to fix my rear window regulators 4 times and it is broke again.they are made so cheap, there is a plastic piece in it that keeps breaking, the motor still works but due to the plastic piece you have to replace the whole thing.it has become very expensive. Now i have my window stopped from opening.it fell and no one is ever in the back seat.
2003 jeep liberty every window regulator has been repaired at least once. Spent over 1,000 in repairs. Google it... Numerous complaints about this model from every year with same problem. Needs to be recalled and fixed! money owed back to owners.

Jeep liberty window falling inside door -- eighth (8th) time on this vehicle.safety issue because of children riding in the rear seat and window is unable to be brought to a close.i bought this liberty new and have garaged it the entire time but the repair parts are worthless.why won't chrysler be forced to repair these windows with parts that do not break?
Window regulator fails and window stays down.this has happened 4 times on my 2002 liberty and now five times on my wife's 2003 liberty.it is all over the internet about this defective part.why has this not been recalled?
The power window regulators in both back windows have failed twice, causing the windows to fall. This is a safety issue. If these fail during and rollover accident and the window falls a person can be ejected from the vehicle. It also poses a threat for vehicle theft or abduction because of an unsecured vehicle. On april 3 2010 our rear drivers side window failed for the second time and the passenger side rear has also failed twice all since july of 06'. Online forums have hundreds of people who have had similar experiences.

No unusual events leading to failure.failure was the left rear door window regulator.consequences are driving with inclement weather entering the vehicle and distracting the driver.failure was corrected by replacement of regulator.
Problem is with rear power windows when the assembly breaks the cable jams the door lock and you can not open the rear door.

I was heading to friend's place and had just gotten off the highway when i pulled into her street. I went up a slightly raised driveway in order to turn the car around when i heard a loud, grinding sound. I thought that maybe something had gotten stuck under the car, so i got out to check but saw nothing. I got back in the car and continued to reverse it in order to park, but the noise started right back up again and steering had now become extremely difficult. I eventually parked the car, got out and noticed that the front passenger wheel was bent in because the ball joint had come out. I know that there were recalls regarding this in 2003, 2006 and 2009. I am planning to call the dealership tomorrow to alert them of the situation.however, any help that you can help me would be great!thank you!
Took my liberty to my mechanic because it started making a horrible sound up front when ever i made a turn. Upon inspection my lower ball joints had disintegrated, crumbled into their hands. They could not believe how lucky i was that it did not break while driven. Nothing was holding it in or together. Come to find out there are recalls on both the upper and lower ball joints. I was never notified. I have had the lowers fixed and paid for with lifetime warranted parts. I need reimbursed for the lower $488.27. The upper ball joints also must be fixed on a separate recall that i was never notified of. Do these people have any idea how bloody and devastated an accident would be when your wheel shears off and there is no steering? it's called flipping the fringing jeep over!!! not only is it unacceptable that i wasn't notified but i could have killed my father and others in an accident. My mechanic told me straight up if i had gone over a bump or turned i would have wreaked! i can not believe that there are other people that have had accidents with more damage or a full total of theirs and others are not being reimbursed for the entire damages. Thi fixed wrong the first time by the dealer, before their wreak. How is that not their responsibility? there is no excuse for any of those jeeps or mine not being fixed. These are straight up recalls something is wrong with this, really wrong.
Never receiveda recall notice for anything about thejeep now. While drivingthe front left wheel feel off the ball joint snapped.
The contact owns a 2003 jeep liberty. The contact stated that while traveling 35 mph, the vehicle began abnormally steering to the right. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic who confirmed that the front passenger wheel was damaged and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileages were 100,000.
Left driver side, upper ball joint separated from control arm. Wheel collapsed outward. Fortunately, it happened after leaving the interstate driving 70 miles per hour. Entering service station wheel collapsed. Happened to talk to an individual who was aware of the problem. Individual said that this is a current and on going problem with today's vehicles. The front components are being designed so they cannot be maintained properly. Lack of grease fittings, pressed in joint design on ball joints to control arm , instead of re enforced with bolts or other safe measures. Individual stated that it is occurring on most all makes and models. Instead of just replacing the defected ball joint, the control arm, with no other defect, but this, has to be replaced, costing even more money. Has been reported, that deaths have occurred. The mental impact and feeling insecure after a fix is ongoing. I see more deaths and accidents occurring because of this problem. Thank you.
Son was driving home when the driver side wheel came off, in mid turn-. On a public road, about to turn onto the interstate. Luckily, wasn't going 65. The car had to be towed. Our mechanicsaid the ball joint broke loose, bending the axle as well, damaging the wheel and tire. There has been a recall of this nature, but said it didn't apply to this vin. I am totally convinced it must be defective as well. This could have been a deadly accident. I am begging for this to be investigated.
My boyfriends daughter was driver and my daughter (both minors) head busted on the front passenger windshield. Cars in front of them stopped abruptly and they were going 55 mph and could not get stopped, hitting the car stopped in front of them. Neither driver nor passenger airbag deployed. My daughter is lucky!
My daughter had been driving on the upper level (h.o.v lane)of the 59th st. Bridgein queens ny and lost control of the vehicle as she was turning upward on a very sharp turn, which then led to her colliding head first with the sidewalls.
When this vehicle was purchased my husband and i took it to our local maguire chrysler of 502 n franklin st.watkins glen ny 14891 dealer , @ that time we had researched and heard that our make and model jeep liberty had a recall on frt ball joints, but we were assured by our dealer that our make and model was not included. However on 10/21/2014 my son driving home from college had experienced the tire just breaking off. After being towed to the dealer it was stated that both front upper control arms and both lower ball joints needed replacing.as well as replacing front brake hoses that were damaged from the incident.on november 13,2014 i received a letter from daimler chrysler stating safety recall f23-lower ball joints.this was after we have had problem fixed and paid for.my main complaint is bringing the problem to the dealers attention, and them sweeping it under the carpet , then the incident happens endangering our child, thankfully on the flat not while coming down the steep hill on his routine trip.i find it extremely hard to believe that the dealer did not know of the recall before the customer. I feel they could have and should have researched this recall on two occasions, 1st when we first brought it to there attention and second when the accident occurred,this is shady business not the safety of their customers.
Poorly designed wheels/rims held mud, ice, snow etc. In or near the valve stems.*ph
I was backing out of a parking space in the quick chek parking lotafter i came out of the store to go to work and i heard a big bang thump. I immediately put the vehicle in park and looked around thinking maybe someone was behind mebut there was not. I had a few guys push the vehicle slowly to another parking space about 200 ft away to stop the vehicle and put into park again. I immedialtely called roadside assistance to come to help me after i looked underneath the front right tire to see that the wheel was not attached to the front suspension under the vehicle. A flatbed came and told me that i needed a wrecker to lift and also dollies to get this vehicle to the closest automotive facility nearby. Once there the next day they inspected it and told that i needed a lower and upper ball joints and also control arm for this vehicle.i called fca chrysler jeep dodge about this matter and was told that if i was to tow it to one of there facilities that if the recall on it that was done in 2007 was the same problem that they would address this matterand fix it free of charge and it would be covered for the recall for the most part.

Steel wheels on my jeep liberty have a lipid grove that fills with ice,snow,mud and sand. This is especially bad with off road use. This causes the front wheel balance to go out and causes the vehicle to steer and handle very erractically. It may take several tries with a power hose to clear the wheels. You cannot see behind the spokes to see if all is clear.
Discovered that lugs on the rear passenger side wheel was not on properly.it was not on all the way.
