2005 jeep liberty defective airbag: 3/28/08: airbag light on. Dealer diagnosed and replaced module ("abs squib 2 circuit open"). Dealer refused to cover as a safety defect. I contacted chrysler and they agreed to reimburse me.(ref chrysler file #17357511)6/16/09: airbag light on again. Dealer found "broken wire behind dash area." they refused to cover this as a safety issue." i called and then wrote to chrsyler again as wires under the dash don't just break all by themselves and this was the second defect with this airbag. Their response was "things like this just sometimes happen" and they refused to reimburse me for $276 (plus nys tax) for this repair. Their verbal and written responses were the same. (ref their file #18718373) [the dealer also left the wires hanging out at the back of the center console when we picked the vehicle up from the june 2009 repair; further evidence of shoddy workmanship. We had to take it back again for them to fix that (no charge)]. I have all the correspondence from the 2008 and 2009 repairs.i feel chrysler is negligent in accepting their responsibility for the continued defective airbag system in this vehicle. I feel they should reimburse me for the june 2009 repair. There had been no accidents or repairs to cause these problems. The vehicle is well cared for and well maintained.all correspondence is available for mailing or faxing to you.

The passenger side airbag light is on (meaning the airbag is off) when there is no weight on the seat. This is concerning because when an adult seats in the seat, the light will turn off but will the airbag be turned on?the seat is supposed to detect a child and turn off the airbag. However, it is just turning off.
Air bag light and seat belt light will not go off even though the seatbelts are fastened.all fuses ok.

Jeep will not start, dealer claims is a broken steel piece in the ignition in the steering column.the car has not had a accident or any other damage. Contacted jeep corporate and they refuse any help due to mileage and agedealer cost for repair will be approx $700.00 for used. Need to replace the whole steering column.

They quoted it could months.this will be third time in less than 3 years the car is in the dealer for not starting. Each time it is a different repair. The steering column is not damaged.
I've been made aware of the possible recall regarding the fuel tanks - and i always have a gas odor in my car.it is usually much stronger after i fill my tank but i always have a gas odor.also i have the passenger back window down like many other owners.
Purchased a 2005 jeep liberty in the state of wisconsin, a state that has excessive cold and icy weather, streets are heavily salted.the jeep i purchased has had several recalls, major was the rear end control arm, which the dealership repaired. 2005 jeep liberty also has major electrical problems which causes the engine cooling fan to short out. Having it to be frequently replaced once a year. 2nd major problem is the front right control arm assembly front upper left and right. Along with wheel hub assembly, both corrodes and can cause the steering to brake into, resulting in alost of steering causing a major accident while driving. These major mechanical problems needs should be recalled, so they can be replaced or repaired. I've taken the jeep to different repairs shop and was told the jeeps are known for safety issues including electrical and control arm problems and to check for recalls.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty turbo diesel. Whiledriving 25 mph, the vehicle caught fire without warning. The contact suffered from smoke inhalation and other minor unknown injuries. A police and fire report were filed. The dealer advised that the fire was caused by a fuel heater under the hood. The contact filed a claim with the manufacturer but the manufacturer advised they were unable to provide an exact cause of the failure. The contact's claim was denied. The vehicle was left at the dealer for further analysis. The failure mileage was 48,000 and the current mileage was 50,000.
Suspension issue. It appears that the front end to be coming loose. Lots of noise such as grinding,etc. I stopped at garage and had them out it on a lift for inspection. The determination was that the front, left and right, upper and lower ball joints are defective. Upon inspection by the mechanic, and by me visually, it appears to be premature wear. Mechanic suspects a product defect, as do i.i checked nhtsa official site for recalls. Multiple recalls for this suspension issue.seat belt driver's side latching mechanism between the seat and console sticks intermittently. Sometimes it takes multiple efforts to disconnect the seal belt so that driver may exit the vehicle. Dealer claims there are no recalls on this item and no warranty. Current mileage on vehicle is 74,400 miles.electrical power window assemblies. All four assemblies have been replaced. During the first year of ownership (bought new in 2005) both left and right front window assemblies were replaced under warranty, since then all four assemblies (front driver and passenger sides, and rear driver side and passenger side have been replaced at the expense of the owner. This is a multiple occurring problem and in my estimation seems to be a product design and manufacturing problem.
Tried to start my jeep with putting car keys in the ignition, nothing happened, so since i have remote car keys i tried them on the outside of the street and car did start.so now i dont know what to do cause now ineed touse my remote car keys.it also makes some noises when you back up the car.
The electrical system fails from winter to summer causing miscellaneous information to the computer, the auto can overheat, it can also clear down and open failure of gasoline.the ball joints fail truly.it happened to me in three occasions when i circulated by the city when crossing on a street, while passing a tumble, and on a terrace street.the front brake system breaks causing brake liquid leaks this is caused by the warming of parts and dirt. I saw the stain in the soil when i park in my garage and check.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start after several attempts. The vehicle was then towed to a local mechanic where he was advised that the ignition switch and steering column would need to be replaced. There was no electrical current passing through the starter and the mechanic advised that there were aluminum pieces that fractured in the steering column and caused the failure. The vehicle was not repaired because the parts needed were on backorder. The contact believed that the manufacturer was ignoring the issue which he stated was a severe safety issue. In addition, the contact stated that the transmission was replaced twice since owning the vehicle. The failure mileage was 85,100.the vin was not available.
2005 jeep liberty crd will "sling shot" itself when starting from a stop with the a/c on. When you start to accelerate making a turn from being stopped the vehicle will start to move and you can feel, hear the engine gaining rpm but not movement then a sudden slingshot effect will take place. The selling dealer said it was normal for a diesel engine with a turbo to do this. Also stated it was in the electronics and there wasn't any thing they could do to repair it. I would have to wait for a factory bulletin to come out.this new vehicle pulls to the right constantly, i requested the alignment to be corrected during the same dealership visit as above. I was told my alignment was checked and there was no abnormal tire wear so it must be the crown of the road causing the pull or drift.this vehicle also surges when the cruise control is engaged and you start up an incline, it will continue to surge as long as the incline lasts.after picking the vehicle up at the dealership today i started home and all three of the faults occurred. I returned to the dealership and the shop foreman went with me , where the vehicle again acted up. He said there was not any thing they could do about the surging and the alignment and the sling shotting was turbo lag.i have not diven the vehicle on wet or snow covered pavement, however, with what does i not sure i want to.
A slight bump to the ignition switch caused it to shut off.a stop and restart turned on the car without issue.
The steering column inside where ignition switch is cracked,that what i was told the vehicle has 90000 miles on it but it was in a crash and now the insurance adjuster says it is normal wear. It will not start, and it shorted out the battery.

My heated seat was on low and it has been getting extremely hot lately, well today it caught on fire. And about a month ago my ball joints all went out while driving.
I have had numerous problems starting my jeep. Every time i have this problem i take it to dealer to find out it is the same thing everytime. I'm told it is the ignition actuator switch. There i'd a little pin in it that if you put your key in slightly the wrong way you can break one of those pins. I have had this fixed and then i have no problem starting my jeep for a while. Well then it all happened again the other day. Again it was the ignition actuator switch. I have read a lot of places and my dealer has told me that this is a very common problem in these jeeps. I really feel there should be a recall on this product and a better replacement should be available. I'm sick of spending $100 on this part every year or two.
Rear power windows just fell to the bottom and they won't go up anymore
I went to start my jeep and it caught on fire under the hood. Also, it sometimes doesn't start, when it does and i'm driving, it stalls in the middle of traffic. This happens when i'm in the middle of making a left turn and i'm afraid i'm going to get hit! it mostly happens when it's raining or a lot of moisture in the air. It pulls and hesitates while i'm driving as well. My insurance paid for the damage when i had the fire, but i'm now learning that it's a big issue with jeeps. I have 3 children and i'm afraid for their safety. I can't afford a new vehicle.
Dt*: the contact stated while traveling 70 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning.the vehicle was towed to the dealership, who replaced the power control module.the problem returned after a month.that component was replaced five times.also, while depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle lost pressure.the vehicle operated after restarting.the tire pressure light illuminated, but the tire pressure was normal.the dealership was unable to diagnose these problems.
The rear window on the driver's side fell down for no reason.i pressed the switch it did not move.i pulled it up by hand but it would fall right down.i took it to the jeep dealer thinking it would be under warranty but they charged me.two years later it happened again on the same window.i paid for it again.since, they fixed it last time they scratched the glass and i cannot open the door from the inside.i am single and 99.9% of the time i am the only one in the car.the window does not even get used and it fails.the window was not used once since the second replacement and it has failed again for a third time.the second time i was at the jeep dealer to have it replaced the service advisor even said to me that this happens all the time on these vehicles.well, then why isn't something being done about it?when you read the internet you will find that all jeep liberty's from 2002 to 2007 have this problem.the part was not engineered correctly and does not hold up.the part is clearly defective.you will be driving along and all of a sudden you hear air rushing in behind you.chrysler needs to be forced to fix it because otherwise, they will not do it.they knowingly sold a defective product which is fraud and it is illegal.your jeep is never secure and is unsafe.i travel into the city every day and have to fear that when i walk out my window will be down and i will be robbed or someone can just reach in and get in my car because the window is down and kill me, attack me or rob me.this does not even include the numerous other problems: belt tensioner defective, ball joints bad, rear window not working, roof rack lose and faded, windshield leaking, electrical issue, horn stuck on just to name some of the problems i have experienced.every year or two jeep expects you to pay hundreds of dollars to have a defective part fixed.
Fuel was leaking out of the fuel filter head at the fuel heater electrical connection. The plastic around the fuel heater connecter had scorch marks. Vehicle stalled while pulling out of the garage due to air pulling into the fuel system through the electrical connection. Known issue for this vehicle type/model. Possible fire hazard and stalling potential. Have to replace the fuel filter head.
Driving 2005 jeep liberty crd (turbo diesel) on highway and engine cut out completely without any warning. All dash lights flashed on and off, asd light remain illuminated. Coasted to shoulder. Engine would not start. Towed to dealership, they replaced fuel pump fuse. Claimed they could find no cause for the blown fuse. Exactly the same asd cut out repeated over next four months, once more at highway speed, once in parking lot. Different fuses blown and replaced each time. Finally dealer traced to frayed wiring in engine compartment. Taped wires, no further asd cut outs. Technician stated he would never drive a liberty outside of city as wiring harness routinely frays due to tight fit over mental body and components in original construction. Claimed very common and very difficult to find or correct as most wiring is inaccessible behind body panels. Claims jeep is well aware, he claims entire harness should be replaced with longer harness and thicker insulation. Extremely dangerous as cut out is instantaneous and occurs without warning.

I have had numerous issues with this vehicle.i have had to replace the cooling fan, three window motors, the alternator, head gaskets, the fuel pump sensor is broken, the oil sensor is broken, when i pump gas itspills out, the radiator, the electrical system on both the left and right side.the tail lights don't work properly and i have replaced both the lights and fuses as well as the sockets numerous times.these are just the things i can think of off the top of my head.i've spent thousands of dollars, literally, on this car.i feel like it's a death trap waiting to happen and can't wait until i am able to purchase something else, it won't be a jeep product. Jeep doesn't care if you have numerous issues with their product.when i first started having issues i called the dealership i purchased from to talk to my salesman and i was asked what my mileage was.i was right around 48,000 miles,i was put off numerous times and told he would be who i would need to deal with.after i hit the 50,000 mark they informed me he had been murdered and i was not out of warranty.each passing day seems to bring new problems with this vehicle. I just thought someone should finally know.i'm also not counting the recalls in on my list of issues.
Received recall notice on my liberty. Went into local service dealer as they stated recall was due. Dealer then stated they had no parts, no technical data or guidance on this particular recall. Additionally, if this vehicle sits for over two days will not start (battery dies). Multiple batteries installed, charging system, no known electrical shorts or errant computer codes. Chrysler will not address issue because it is out of warranty.
I have had to replace both back passenger window systems. Both went down with seemingly no cause and it cost hundreds to repair each. No one ever rides in the back of my car. This should not happen, but i understand it's common in these vehicles.should not be allowed by consumer protection.

The contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty.a week after purchasing the vehicle, the check engine light illuminated intermittently.the vehicle has been to the dealer five times due to spark plug failures.the vehicle has been taken to the dealer three times because the cruise control would shut off, the dial on the speedometer gauge would go to zero, the odometer would freeze, and the check engine light would illuminate.currently, the speedometer dial remains at zero, the odometer is stuck at 29,647, and the cruise control does not work.the overhead console has failed and does not keep accurate information at any time.the dealer currently has the vehicle.the failure mileage was unknown.
The steering got hard and felt like the ball joint on the control arms lock up; the door locks cycle continuously and now driver door, left rear passenger door and back tailgate will not open, horn will not blow, radio will not work, and interior lights won't work. The steering problems happen while driving on highways and when making turns of any kind the slightest movement of the steering wheel will car is moving makes erratic navigation in anything other than a straight path. The door locks cycle on and off while driving and also not moving and without the car being started and is as rest without key inserted in the ignition cylinder. I am fearful for my grand children to ride in the car with me and very concerned of a failure that may jeopardize their safety.
This is the fourth time that i have had a window regulator problem. The second time on the same window. I have heard that it is caused from overuse but the only window regulator that has not yet needed to be replaced is my driver window which is the one i use the most! this obviously has nothing to do with it. It is simply a faulty part that they do not feel is significant enough to find a permanent solution for. I fear that it will happen when i am on vacation or something and a storm will ruin my car without my knowing or my car will be "broken" into or even stolen. I know there are many other people with the same issues happening multiple times but not everyone knows to report it. I hope that enough people complaining about the same faulty part will make them do something about it.
1) wiring harness failed--rear lights not operable/functional. Vehicle crash possible because car not visible by other drivers at night.2) gear shift sticks causing inability to put car in park. Roll-away imminent. Causing crash.

Researching issues related to my 2005 jeep liberty (3.7 limited 4 x 4). Repeated electronic issues with windows - came across others with same issue.exactly how many repairs has jeep chrysler done on jeep liberties... Just thought you should know.it's not cheap - read info at: http://www.denlorstools.com/autoblog/2009/02/jeep-liberty-power-window-problems-diy-tips/.

I was coming home the day before the holiday.it was a busy day around 4:30 pm.i began heading down the heel and the car just turned off.i was unable to restart, steer, brake or control any aspect of the car.unfortunately when the car stopped, it threw me forward into the dash.fortunately, the gentleman that was in front of me saw me waving and yelling i couldn't stop and risked his life by pulling in front of the oncoming traffic to allow my car to continue soaring down the hill.once i reached the bottom of the hill, my vehicle came to rest between two lanes of a four lane road.mind you this road has hills coming from both ways.fortunately again, a tow truck driver came along and stopped traffic until he could safely tow me into my driveway (free of charge).when i tried starting the vehicle again it ran like it was about to blow up and rattled something terrible.i contacted chevrolet and they explained that they had never heard of any such situation regarding my type of vehicle.however, as the stories began spilling into the media, it was like reliving that moment over and over again, but unfortunately for some their situation didn't turn out as well. How long will this major motor company be able to risk human lives just to make a profit.why don't they just admit that they used defective parts to make a big profit and it has now back fired.
While driving down the interstate, i heard a clunk. My back window behind driver had slipped down. I called my personal mechanic, not dealer, and he diagnosed it over the phone as the regulator. He told me it was commonin jeeps. While at the mechanic's, another customer said her father's jeep had done the same thing. The mechanic told me to be glad that my window did not break. I was charged to replace the regulator $300. I have no children and my back window is never used. Too many people have spent hundreds of dollars for this repair. This is definitely an inferior product and should be recalled. Customers should not be expected to pay for this repair. I only hope i can get rid of my jeep before i have another window regulator fail!!!
All the lights stay on and wont go out the window will not go down or up
This is for a 2005 jeep liberty. Faulty speedometer. Was replaced 2 times within 2 years. Chrysler tsb indicates replacement of the rear differential fluid every year to resolve the problem. There is a problem with engineering if you have to do this. They will replace the speedometer for ~ $210.00 or change the fluid for $199.00 every year. Consumers are being held hostage for this annual charge for the fluid change as i have had my speedometer changed 2 times already. The maintenance schedule says nothing about this in schedule a. However the dealer refers to schedule b as what they recommend due to this issue. However, the book sites an exclusion in schedule b if your vehicle is used commercially, heavy hauling, snow plowing, of road use, etc. I have as of 08/06/2008 42,722 miles on this, and do to prescribe to the above exclusion.

Failure to start- using key and remote starter.when the key was turned, it went all the way over and the engine did not crank, no noises from battery- just nothing.this occurred twice over a two month period, usually after about 15-20 minutes it would start.recently the problem has progressed from failing to start,to the bigger problem of dying when it is running.the vehicle will be running and all of a sudden dies with no warning.this is a safety hazard as it can happen at any time, at any speed.the dealership has had the vehicle now for a week and cannot duplicate the problem.the car has just over 14,000 miles on it and should not be having these problems.i do not feel safe in my own vehicle.
I have a 2005 jeep liberty whose ignition switch just failed. Had it towed and the ignition switchmust be replaced (which is under warranty), but it entails also exchanging the steering column (which, is not under warranty).they are telling me that i have to pay $800.00 to fix this my warranty which is still under effect that components not listed are not covered unless required as a direct result of the failure of a covered component. Having read complaint after complaint with jeep libertiesstarting withyear 2002 to present, it becomes obvious that this is a serious defect and it appears jeep has done nothing to rectify this problem and is coercing people (even under warranty) to pay for this. The parts are not even immediately available.this has not been resolved yet, but i think it is serious to note the incident.thank you
-the contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty. While driving approximately 35 mph, an increase in acceleration occurred without warning. The vehicle was able to slow down after force was applied to the brake pedal. The engine was turned off for a few moments. The engine was restarted and was able to resume normal operation. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The failure was contributed to the turbo charger faulty wire with a loose connection. The computerized system was reprogrammed. The vehicle was repaired for the malfunctions. The failure mileage was 67. The current mileage was 25,990updated 6/1/10updated 06/04/10*ljthe consumer stated while driving, the engine revved at a high rpm and almost caused him to have an accident. He jammed on the braes because he was approaching stopped traffic. The consumer soon pulled over to the side of the road and heard the accelerator pedal pop loose and back into position. Prior to the incident, the check engine light illuminated and the throttle control light kept flashing and stayed on after the incident.

Fuel was observed leaking through an electrical fitting on the water separating fuel filter. I have heard this is a common issue with the 05/06 jeep liberty crd.
Car would start and die off after 1-2 minutes ( as in lack of fuel). There had also been electronic throttle control warning light flashing occasionally. To re-start, the fuel primer (located on filter head) had to be pumped. I read on www.lostkjs.com forum in the crd section that air might leak into the filter head, causing these symptoms. I noticed that the fuel heater plug located in the filter head was moist. I pulled the plug and heard a air-sucking sound. The plug contained a male part of what is obviously a burned-out fuel heater, which has made a hole into the filter head. A picture can be seen at the following link: http://www.pandkindustries.com/images/fuelheaterbusted.jpg i will be contacting the dealer and having the filter head replaced. The design is obviously faulty; any air collecting in the filter head leaves this heating element outside of the fuel allowing it to over-heat. Over-heating the fuel heating element can further warp/damage the already leaky filter head. Filter elements obviously will burn out over time. Apparently, these fuel heater elements are constantly activated. Air in the system can cause stalls at dangerous time (when accelerating and highway speeds. Worse, burning-out heater elements and fuel leaks could lead to fire!

Tempurature gauage indicates vehicle is overheating.chrysler says vehicle will not overheat, the problem is in the gauge.no known repair for the problem.it is still unknown if it is a gauge or engine problem
Making a left turn onto a major route at 30 mph when all of a sudden the vehicle takes off on it's own and begins to swerve picking up speed while both my feet are off of the pedals.it hits one concrete wall on a bridge and proceeds to cross yellow line picking up more speed before smashing straight into other concrete wall.it's the only thing that stopped this vehicle from continuing on.air bags went off and split expelling strange odor.a jeep dealer commented that either a sensor went or accelerator pedal had stuck.i could not straighten the vehicle out by steering at all.

I wanted to include my vehicle incident in regards to the complaints on the jeep suv fires. I thought it was necessary to include my entry, because unlike other incidents mentioned in the investigation, my vehicle spontaneously caught fire while i was driving it and was not the result ofimpact from a crash. It was a friday evening and i was traveling home on the highwayduring rush hour traveling with the flow of traffic at about 65 mph. All of the sudden, and without warning, my vehicle started losing speed at a rapid pace. Thankfully, i was in the first lane and was able to pull immediately into the breakdown lane. All of my dashboard lights came on and while i was leaning over to inspect what could possibly be the problem, the hood of the vehicle suddenly burst into flames. I exited the vehicle swiftly and luckily a tow truck driver who had saw the smoke immediately called 911. The car was engulfed in flames in less then 5 minutes. Had i not been able to exit the vehicle or had children restrained in the back seat, there could have been serious injuries or possibly a fatality. I reported the incident to chrysler after going through my insurance. There response was a polite letter telling me they were sorry for the incident, but were not responsible. The vehicle was less than 2 years old at the time and serviced regularly. The finding of the fire dept.'s inspection was inconclusive, but i was told in confidence that it seemed more than likely it was a faulty issue with the vehicle. After the incident, i took multiple photos of the interior and exterior of the jeep, which included under the hood since we suspected the engine was at fault. If they are useful to your ongoing investigation, please feel free to contact me so that i can email them along. Thank you.

This vehicle was purchased new and has less than 140,000 miles. #1-it has corrosion on the outer body panels that is starting to go into the frame. The corrosion has caused numerous cuts, scrapes and damaged clothing as you get in and out of the vehicle. #2- i started smelling antifreeze but you couldn't see any leaks unless it was parked downhill so i took it to the shop for diagnosis. After several test they found it to be the head gasket. #3- i also have issues with the drivers side seat belt staying latched. You can be driving along and it will just release and it takes awhile to get it to latch back. #4-it wouldn't let me select the option to talk about the window regulators that just all of a sudden decide to work by themselves. I've had several people discuss these issues with me and i'd not seen any issues until lately, regardless of how significant anyone thinks these issues are i've worked in the auto industry long enough to know that the maker should stand behind their product regardless of the significance or age of vehicle.

2010 engine shut down with only 105,000 miles. I had replaced the egr valve covered under warranty when check engine light came on. Performed regular oil changes up until the engine failed.new replacement engine was installed in 2010. In septemeber 2014 engine failed again on the highway going 55 mph. Engine was diagnosed by chrysler dealer as engine failure due to over heated rocker arm, cam shaft and lifters. Chrysler is not offering any assistance this second time around.i am also out $1060 dollars payable to the dealer for their diagnosis telling me something i already knew. Chrysler customer service had told me to take it to the dealer before they would discuss any potential financial assistance.

I went to start my jeep and it caught on fire under the hood. Also, it sometimes doesn't start, when it does and i'm driving, it stalls in the middle of traffic. This happens when i'm in the middle of making a left turn and i'm afraid i'm going to get hit! it mostly happens when it's raining or a lot of moisture in the air. It pulls and hesitates while i'm driving as well. My insurance paid for the damage when i had the fire, but i'm now learning that it's a big issue with jeeps. I have 3 children and i'm afraid for their safety. I can't afford a new vehicle.

In may 2015 the engine seized/failed on my 2005 jeep liberty limited which had 132,026 miles.apparently, this is common for jeeps this old and with many miles on them.a remanufactured engine installed was about $4,500; not worth it.
My jeep has the heavy duty cooling fan. While driving the electric cooling fan broke into multiple pieces and damaged the radiator making then unable to drive due to overheating. I was drive bout 15mph in a parking lot.
My girlfriend of 21 years, went into the doctor and when she came out her jeep liberty would start and then stall. She said there was clunking noise from the engine. I get there and call aaa and have it towed to a plus transmission and auto repair in brighton michigan. They said the rocker arm came lose from the adjuster and that should fix the problem. Not so, turns out it was a broken valve seat also that had dropped down into the cylinder causing catastrophic engine failure. We are left with the expense of replacing the engine at a cost to us of $5600.00. This is a known problem with the chrysler 3.7 v6 engine. It happens just after the warranty expires. With todays technology i believe that engine should have had lasted up to 200000 miles. Since we cant afford a new car this is the only way we can go. However, i believe chrysler should help with the expense of this. Never will i buy from chrysler again.

Driving 2005 jeep liberty crd (turbo diesel) on highway and engine cut out completely without any warning. All dash lights flashed on and off, asd light remain illuminated. Coasted to shoulder. Engine would not start. Towed to dealership, they replaced fuel pump fuse. Claimed they could find no cause for the blown fuse. Exactly the same asd cut out repeated over next four months, once more at highway speed, once in parking lot. Different fuses blown and replaced each time. Finally dealer traced to frayed wiring in engine compartment. Taped wires, no further asd cut outs. Technician stated he would never drive a liberty outside of city as wiring harness routinely frays due to tight fit over mental body and components in original construction. Claimed very common and very difficult to find or correct as most wiring is inaccessible behind body panels. Claims jeep is well aware, he claims entire harness should be replaced with longer harness and thicker insulation. Extremely dangerous as cut out is instantaneous and occurs without warning.

2005 jeep liberty with diesel engine. Original engine died with only 110,000 miles. Chrysler offered no assistance.this fall less than four years later the new replacement engine failed with only 62,000 miles.i was instructed by chrysler corporate customer service to send car to chrysler dealer before they would discuss my issues. The chrysler dealer i was told to use broke down the engine only to tell me their diagnosis is "engine is blown"chrysler then refused to assist and i'm out $1060 for a diagnosis i didn't need. I knew my engine was blown the day it happened.i am looking for some assistance on repairs and don't think i'm out of line thinking chrysler should pay for all repairs but i'm being realistic in thinking they won't.

1. Random event, vehicle start after overnight rest (min 8 hrs), cold start driveway. Not affected by ambient temp or season. This has occurred since vehicle was purchased new and randomly happens once per week on the average.2. Vehicle started, either backed from garage or parking lot driveway , placed in drive and drive away initiated until stopped at intersection. Transmission locks up and stalls engine at /or in intersection.since this is random , work around safety measures cannot be predicted to provide safe entry into intersection, hence sometimes we are in the middle of an intersection with a stalled engine.3. Vehicle has been to delivered to dealership purchased from . There has been 4 visits/attempts to repair with no avail. Meeting with dealership resulted in dealership explaining they don't know what to do, nor does the jeep tech rep "john stick rod", and they have no solutions from jeep auburn hills service organization since they claim this is not a problem to their knowledge.we have submitted other internet acknowledgements of this problem to the dealership in order to educate them of the availability of this common problem on jeep liberty crd diesel models.
I have had my 2005 jeep liberty in five times for the same problem. In each case there is a severe to very severe acceleration problem. In two cases had to have vehicle towed in because it would not accelerate at all, two times i had to baby the vehicle into dealership only once did i drive it in like an almost normal vehicle. Engine seemed to be running fine in neutral but seemed to be maybe fighting with auto transmission or torque converter to move. Dealership has replaced numerous parts on transmission, egr valve twice, reprogrammed something on torque converter and yet problem is still there on an ongoing basis sometimes slight but always apparent. One time it took me two minutes to get through a stop and go lights, that time dealership said computer said i ran out of fuel even though fuel gage said i still had a quarter of a tank and the week before i had run it to empty and had not run out of fuel. Vehicle currently stutters at about 55-60 mph hour and has consistently gets no more than 22 mpg even though it has a diesel that should get 26 mpg and it is all highway miles. Once when passing a vehicle it started to act up, you never know when it will lose acceleration. This vehicle is unsafe to drive and i have sent in a lemon law request which they acknowledged they received 10 days ago and stated someone from milwaukee office would contact me in the next two days or less but still have not heard from anyone even after i called two days ago asking why i have not heard from milwaukee office.

2005 jeep liberty crd will "sling shot" itself when starting from a stop with the a/c on. When you start to accelerate making a turn from being stopped the vehicle will start to move and you can feel, hear the engine gaining rpm but not movement then a sudden slingshot effect will take place. The selling dealer said it was normal for a diesel engine with a turbo to do this. Also stated it was in the electronics and there wasn't any thing they could do to repair it. I would have to wait for a factory bulletin to come out.this new vehicle pulls to the right constantly, i requested the alignment to be corrected during the same dealership visit as above. I was told my alignment was checked and there was no abnormal tire wear so it must be the crown of the road causing the pull or drift.this vehicle also surges when the cruise control is engaged and you start up an incline, it will continue to surge as long as the incline lasts.after picking the vehicle up at the dealership today i started home and all three of the faults occurred. I returned to the dealership and the shop foreman went with me , where the vehicle again acted up. He said there was not any thing they could do about the surging and the alignment and the sling shotting was turbo lag.i have not diven the vehicle on wet or snow covered pavement, however, with what does i not sure i want to.
Consumor states:check engine light came on day after he bought it, and there is know reverse can push on gas pedal and the engine just reves up
My 2005 jeep liberty crd has a transmission "shudder" and looses power between 55 and 60 mph.this appears to be a common problem with crd owners and jeep has issued several tsb's that consist of computer reflashes that have not corrected the problem.i am to the point where i do not transport my children in this vehicle because it looses power at 55 mph on highway merges and cruising.i am very concerned with the safety, because other crd owners have experienced transmission failure following the "shudder" symptom.jeep only made 11,000 crd's (discontinued in 2006, however still part of their marketing campaign!) and the owners are having a difficult time getting them to respond to several safety problems.the erg valve is another issue.mine has been replaced once, other crd owners have had multiple replacements.my jeep crd totally lost power when the egr valve failed.it was on an interstate traveling 65 mph.luckily i had a clear path to coast to the shoulder.

I have a 2005 jeep liberty renegade and once again...for the 3rd time, the regulator has failed on my driver's side passenger window. This has also happened on the passenger side rear window twice. I'm sure after i have the driver's side repaired, this one will also fail. Seeing the neverending complaints filed from other jeep owners having the same problem, how many complaints have to be filed before chrysler fixes the problem?
A few weeks ago i had flat tire. When we used the jack that came with the vehicle it did not live it high enough to put the spare tire on. It lacked about 3 inches or so. If this had happened on the side of the road i would have in a bad situation. We put the flat back on and aired it up using a neighbors air compressor. I searched on the internet and learned that this problem with the jack is normal for the jeep liberty. It is a safety issue and should be dealt with. I have no photographic evidence, but would be glad to demonstrate to anyone who would want to check it. Thankfully this all happened at my home.
Greetings,i am writing to you today because i have received several safety recall notices for the same recall #n46/nhtsa 13v-252 beginning in 2013.i have had my name registered with two different dealerships for well over 18 months with no repair work done.i am asking for your assistance in having this issue remedied.i can be reached at [xxx] for any relevant information or communication.respectfully,[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

The tire jack that came with my 2005 jeep liberty bent under the weight of the vehicle. This is not only dangerous to persons near or under the vehicle, but made the jack unable to lift the vehicle to a height adequate to change the tire.the service person from aaa laughed when he saw what jeep had provided.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty. While parked, the contact noticed that the passenger side taillight bulb was burned. The contact replaced the bulb but the failure continued. The driver side tail light also burned out. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostics. The technician stated that the taillight assembly would have to be replaced due to overheating, which had melted the assembly. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 55,000.
Both tail lights in my 2005 jeep liberty melted due to faulty wiring causing a safety hazard and costing my $327.27 to replace with a local mechanic. The mechanic himself said this type of defect was very common in the chrysler/jeep models he services. I would like to know if there was a re-call for these parts and if so, why i was not contacted. If no re-call was issued i would like to speak with someone regarding reimbursement for the defect. This not only was a potential fire hazard but it caused my vehicle to lose its brakelights,causing a driving safety hazard.
Head light and interior lights: i have been having a problem with the interior lights coming on and off at random times while driving.this usually happens at night, however it has happened during the day also.last night i was driving approx. 57 miles per hour at 9:30 pm when the head lights flickered twice.after that the lights went out, i slowed down and pulled over to the shoulder of the road and they came on again.i then started driving and they did it again and again.i then put on the fog lights and prayed i make it to work without crashing.i live in the country so when the lights go out it's dark.i do not want to risk my life with this problem.i purchased my jeep liberty new and i've been very happy with it.i use my vehicle to go to work and i work nights so it's imperative it's safe and in good working order.i'm very concerned and i'm contemplating getting rid of it even though i love it, but my personal safety is #1.....updated 10/20/15
Dt*:the contact stated intermittently, while pulling in or out of the driveway, the vehicle will not respond.if the vehicle is in drive it must be put in reverse then drive to move and vice versa.also, the lights, interior and exterior, flicker on and off.the dealership replaced the multifunction switch and upgraded the software.this has not remedied the problem.there are no codes on the computer or black box and the dealership cannot duplicate either problem.when the vehicle was in revese it did move and then stopped. The consumer stated it felt as though the vehicle was in neutral. Updated 02/21/06.
I was driving in the dark and suddenly my headlights on my jeep liberty suddenly shut off and did not come back on until i restarted my vehicle.this has happened numerous times.
My brake lights continue to have issues/not function, resulting in safety issues and tickets. This time the metal connectors in the brake light assembly have melted plastic around them, so it does not connect with the socket connectors and that means no brake lights. Appears, based on the volume of youtube repair videos, that this is a common safety issue but when i looked at recalls and contacted jeep, it is not an item of concern. The brake lights dont work, that should be a concern.
The brake light doesn't work and the bulb has been replaced. Apparently, since so many other people have reported the same problem in various forums; this is a known problem. It would seem that the contact overheats and melts into the plastic housing, causing a potential fire issue and resulting in no contact to make the light bulb work.
While driving down the read all the lights inside and out blink on and off. Then the speedometer quit and wont work now

I, like many others, have a 2005 jeep liberty crd diesel. My fuel filter head is leaking fuel from the heater connector which could easily result in a fire. My connector is soaked in diesel fuel. Chrysler needs to be aware of this amd offer some course of action before someone gets hurt or killed.
I have a 2005 jeep liberty crd diesel.i bought it used about six months ago at 56,000 mi. From a private owner. It now has 86,000 mi. I began having problems starting a week ago. The car starts and runs for 30 seconds and stalls. Then you cannot restart it. The starter spins the engine but it wont start. If you open the hood and pump the hand pump on the side of the fuel filter, which is mounted on the left fire wall, the car will eventually start and run. Yesterday, as i was pumping the fuel filter hand pump i noticed a drop of fuel come from the connector for the fuel heater on the spin on filter head. When i tried to start it, it started right up as it had before when i pumped the hand pump. As i walked around to shut the hood i could see the fuel dribbling out between the wires of the fuel heater plug on the head of the spin on filter. Halfway home i noticed a strong smell of diesel fuel, opened the hood and saw that the leak was getting worse because the plug was soaked in fuel and running thru the heater plug down the firewall. The dealer (tyson motors of joliet il) denies that there is any problem and said i will have to pay for the repair. I have gone to web sites and there are scores of people with the same dangerous condition with their vehicle. Many have caught on fire. So far i am told there is no recall. I guess there are not enough people dead yet.
Normal operationfuel leaking through electrical connection to diesel fuel heater.replaced factory filter head assembly with racor 245r.
Slow start was noted prior to incident (most likely due to air in the system).jeep liberty crd went into limp mode on highway causing vehicle to slow below 40 mph.fuel/water separator was leaking fuel from pre-heater plug, which shorted out heater plug.heater plug was scorched on the inside, no fire noted.parts on order (approx cost $120 for part) intend to replace fuel/water separator assembly and heater plug wiring when it arrives.old part will be available.
Fuel was leaking out of the fuel filter head at the fuel heater electrical connection. The plastic around the fuel heater connecter had scorch marks. Vehicle stalled while pulling out of the garage due to air pulling into the fuel system through the electrical connection. Known issue for this vehicle type/model. Possible fire hazard and stalling potential. Have to replace the fuel filter head.

2005 jeep liberty crv diesel check engine light stayed on.dealer replaced egr valve twice (under warranty).problem was not resolved until the third trip to the dealer.they replaced the block that the egr valve mounted to and this finally resolved the problem.i now have 28,000 miles on the vehicle and no problems.the dealer was very good and persistent in finding the problem.
This is a diesel.the wiring on the filter/water separator overheats and causes a fuel leak.
Fuel was observed leaking through an electrical fitting on the water separating fuel filter. I have heard this is a common issue with the 05/06 jeep liberty crd.
Fuel filter head on my diesel engine jeep liberty crd developed a leak.fuel leaked out through the fuel heater electrical connections creating a potential fire hazard.the vehicle was returned to the dealer and repaired under warranty.
2005 jeep libertyshorted out fuel heater caused a fire on the fuel and water separator which melted onto the wiring harness below causing the jeep to stall immediately and filling the driver compartment with smoke. Could of caused a severe accident. Replacement parts are hard to find due to this seems to be a real problem with this vehicle.
Diesel fuel leaked out from around the electrical pins of the fuel heater. The failure was noticed as wetness around the connector during a routine changing of the fuel filter. Disconnecting the heater connector from the fuel filter head allowed several drops of fuel to escape. The fuel filter head was replaced by the dealer under the vehicle warranty and is not available.
The fuel and water separator is leaking diesel fuel from the heater electrical lines. This is actually the second time this has occurred. The first time in 2008 the vehicle was idling when the wires began to smoke. Took it into repair the problem and didn't think anything of it. Now the same thing is happening again which upon further research have found this to be a common issue with the crd's. This car is a fire hazard not to mention the stalling and loss of power due to air being pumped into the fuel lines. My child is not safe driving this car.
2005 jeep liberty diesel.fuel/water separator leaks fuel through the heater electrical lines.known fire hazard that jeep/chrysler has not recalled.raw fuel runs out the live electrical heater lines.
Jeep liberty crd. Engine was stalling on startup. Odb code came on after a month of this "fuel leak severe". It was loosing prime while sitting due to air leaking in. Found fuel leak on pre-heater connector to fuel water separator housing. Found some burnt plastic where connector was, clearly it got hot/fire.i found numerous incidents of this on-line. Considering there were reportedly less then 10,000 of these built, this is a serious issue.
Car would start and die off after 1-2 minutes ( as in lack of fuel). There had also been electronic throttle control warning light flashing occasionally. To re-start, the fuel primer (located on filter head) had to be pumped. I read on www.lostkjs.com forum in the crd section that air might leak into the filter head, causing these symptoms. I noticed that the fuel heater plug located in the filter head was moist. I pulled the plug and heard a air-sucking sound. The plug contained a male part of what is obviously a burned-out fuel heater, which has made a hole into the filter head. A picture can be seen at the following link: http://www.pandkindustries.com/images/fuelheaterbusted.jpg i will be contacting the dealer and having the filter head replaced. The design is obviously faulty; any air collecting in the filter head leaves this heating element outside of the fuel allowing it to over-heat. Over-heating the fuel heating element can further warp/damage the already leaky filter head. Filter elements obviously will burn out over time. Apparently, these fuel heater elements are constantly activated. Air in the system can cause stalls at dangerous time (when accelerating and highway speeds. Worse, burning-out heater elements and fuel leaks could lead to fire!
The heater connector on the fuel filter housing has developed a significant fuel leak. This issue caused the vehicle to stop running at a traffic light in heavy traffic. I had to call for a tow. The tow truck guy hopped into the vehicle and turned the key to put in neutral so that he could load the vehicle. He left the key on and within a minute smoke was rolling out from under the hood. I thought the thing was going to catch on fire. I had no fire extinguisher (why would you need one for a new vehicle?). I jumped in the vehicle, turned off the key, popped the hood, and pulled the heater plug off (which was where all the smoke was coming from). Obviously, fuel leaking on electrical connectors (especially an electrical fuel heater component), doesn't make for a safe mix. This issue has already been reported to the nhtsa and has also been reported on various jeep forums. This issue is a safety issue and should be addressed by the manufacturer.
2005 jeep crd, fuel heater possible fire hazard.design allows fuel filter head to melt then air enters the diesel system.engine may stall on highway dangerous thing!mines stalled out and been towed couple times.chrysler has been poor in fixing this problem.if fuel heater was to catch fire filter head and all fuel could burn to crisp in minutes.maybe make chrylser offer lifetime warranty on these rare diesels.i can see huge lawsuits towards chrysler if someone was to be killed stalling and or burning in vehicle.
2005 jeep liberty crd diesel engine started running sporadically.smell of burning plastic and diesel was present inside vehicle.pulled over and opened hood, to find boiling diesel steam coming from heater electrical port on fuel head.plug was discolored with heat.drove home, ordered new fuel head and replaced with new oem part.2 months later, the engine started stumbling while driving on the highway and died on highway.coasted to side of road, managed to eventually restart, and made it home.opened hood and found leaking fuel head, from heater socket, diesel fuel draining from plug port at rate of about an oz per minute.electrical plug was burned up, pins electrical pin on inside of fuel heater port destroyed.

2005 jeep liberty diesel. Fuel/water separator leaks fuel through the heater electrical lines. Known fire hazard that jeep/chrysler has not recalled. Raw fuel runs out the live electrical heater lines.engine was stalling on startup. Odbii code came on after a month of this "fuel leak severe". It was loosing prime while sitting due to air leaking in. Found fuel leak on pre-heater connector to fuel water separator housing. Found some burnt and melted plastic where connector was. I found numerous incidents of this on-line. I found a plethora of info on this and there weren't many of these vehicles sold.it seems like a serious issue.chrysler obviously knows about their mistake, when i called them they were able to sell me a new separator with an updated fuel heater connection, fixing the known issue.with new separator, no issues.should be recall.stalling out on highway speeds and losing power.could have been a serious accident.chrysler techs couldn't fix the issue when i brought it in for repair and i spent over a $1000 on other repairs they thought were causing the issue before i found the info online about the separator issue and we found the melted heater connections.

Fuel filter head unit heater electrical connection leaks causing smoke and possible fire.
I have a 2005 jeep liberty crd.the heating element and plug in the fuel filter assembly in my fuel system is scorchedand shows signs of burning.the fuel pre heater comes in contact with air and diesel fuel, and scorching or ignition could cause a vehicle fire.i am concerned that the signs of scorching on my heater element plug shows that diesel fuel and air are leaking onto a potential fire causing electrical component.
The fuel filter head unit on my 2005 jeep liberty crd diesel has a defective design. It is a well documented issue with owners of these vehicles. The fuel heater in the filter head appears to overheat and cause a fuel leak. This causes a dangerous situation to occur as fuel leaks onto wires which are used to power the fuel heater. Once this leak begins, it introduces air into the fuel system which can damage the injector pump or cause a sudden loss of power which may cause a traffic hazard.i have taken pictures of the effected parts. They can be viewed here:this is the burnt connector: http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g222/chadhargis/webpics/p1010031.jpgthis is after priming the fuel head, you can see the fuel bubbling out: http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g222/chadhargis/webpics/p1010032.jpgthis theconnector on the fuel head. Notice the burnt area inside: http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g222/chadhargis/webpics/p1010034.jpg.
Leak from fuel heater electrical connection caused vehicle to stop operating. When the system is primed fuel is sprayed into the engine compartment.i talked to chrysler and they said this was not covered after 36,000 miles.the electrical connection is burned and damaged.
2005 liberty crd diesel fuel heater element is clearly a fire hazard. I see the investigation pe07041 has been closed. This is an error, i have seen on the forums many people with the same problem. Although mine caused a loss of prime so the engine needed to be primed every am upon further investigation i can see how this is clearly a fire hazard that i suspect exists on all of these vehicles and until a problem exists the disaster is just waiting to happen possible causing fires and loss of life. Suggestion-jeep replace the element with a racor or similar unit that does not pose the fire hazards.i have pics i would gladly send you as evidence. I had to pay for the repair part but issue is of course this is the same unit that had the problem and only one available from jeep.
Several months ago, gas started violently splashing back out of the gas tank at the end of every fill-up. I investigated and found this is a well-known and well-documented with a faulty inlet tube check valve. I don't try to overly top off the tank or anything like that. This is not a user issue. See http://www.autoobserver.com/2011/02/chrysler-fuel-spit-back-complaints-rise.html. They call it fuel spit-back. The problem is my make/model isn't one of the ones chrysler has agreed to start helping with, even though it's obviously the same issue. It's very dangerous. Gas is spilling and sometimes spraying outside the car at the end of every single fill-up now.
Gas tank over flows every time i try to put in a full tank of fuel. No matter how slow i fill it will spill over every time.
Gasoline pump fails to shut off when filling the fuel tank. One pint to one quart spills out of the tank onto the filler and the ground. Potential fire and environmental hazard. Happens almost every time the car is filled.

When refueling the vehicle, gas splashes or spits back out of the gas tank prior to the gas station pump turning off.the amount of gas that splashes or spits out of the tank varies but occurs 100% of the time at all gas stations.the slashed volume appears to be a few ounces up to a quart and has splashed back up to a distance of 24".the gas usually splashes on the vehicle itself and on the ground and will splash on the operator if he/she is close enough to the tank or holding the pump.the gas has splashed/spit back on me a few times.the failure occurs regardless of the pumping speed - it occurs with the pump on the top notch (fast), the bottom notch (slow), anywhere in between and also if you fill it manually without the notches. The vehicle is never "topped off'."
After filling the car with gas there are strong fuel odors inside the cabin. This happens each time the car is refueled.

Whenever i fill up my jeep the fuel overflows onto the jeep and on the ground.it has done this for about two years (or more).
2005 jeep liberty.consumer writes in regards to rear structure reinforcement recall notice issues.according to the recall notice, the parts were not available. Recall # 13v252000.
Over time, the automatic shutoff on fuel pumps at gas stations began to not shut off until after a significant amount of fuel had spilled out (up to a half gallon). At first, i thought it may be the design of different pumps, so i experimented with different stations. I found that no matter what style pump or station i am at, this continues to occur.i have had to resort to estimating how much gasoline i need based on my gage prior to turning the vehicle off. Another option is to underestimate and never really have a full tank. I have found that severely slowing the pump down toward the end of what i think is the amount of gasoline i need for a full tank will usually (but not always) get the pump to shut off in time prior to overflowing. Although i have gotten better at estimating, there are still times that gasoline overflows. Aside from a fire hazard on the vehicle and on the ground at the pump, the gasoline can cause body damage over time. This has nothing to do with attempting to "top off" the tank after the pump shuts off. There is no top off room with this vehicle. I have had other vehicles that could take an extra gallon or more after the automatic shutoff, but this one does not. After looking at several forums and other online posts, i discovered that there are many other owners who have experienced this problem. I contacted chrysler, left my information with them to be processed, and was told i'd be called back.they called back and left a voicemail saying that they would not be taking any action to fix it and that i could call back if i had any questions. I called back and could not get the agent that worked on my claim to call me back.
When i fill the gas tank, i get a back splash of gas once the tank is full. Cannot use the automatic shut off on the gas pump. I have to estimate as close as i can how much gas i can put into tank. If i over estimate, gas back splashes out and spills out onto pavement, onto me and vehicle.very concerned about safety of gas tank and the risk of gas igniting.

When slowing down in bumper to bumper traffic the vehicle will accelerate at a high speed.vehicle must be placed in neutral until engine decelerates.this has occurred approx. 5 times.it always is unexpected, and always occurs when moving slowly in bumper to bumper traffic.if the brake is depressed during the acceleration the rear wheels will spin.the car must be placed in neutral.the acceleration lasts for about 5 seconds.the dealer cannot find the problem.the car is maintained and operates perfectly, except for this problem.it is an accident waiting to happen.please help!
While refueling gas will overflow the filler tube, splashing anywhere from a pint to a quart of fuel onto the ground. This happens on every fill up. The only way to prevent it is to guess when the fuel tank is nearly full and listen for the fuel to approach the top of the filler tube with the fuel flow from the pump as slow as possible.the other alternative is to not fill the tank to full, guessing about where the fuel level is by putting your ear close to the filler hole.in either case there is still danger of spilling fuel onto the ground and on the vehicle itself.the other side effect are high levels of fuel vapor smell inside the vehicle itself. This smell persists for quite some time even with the windows in the down position.this happens every fill up and has been happening for about two years. Doesn't matter which gas station i go to.
Consumer writing in regards to 2005 jeep liberty.states that the could rupture in a rear end collision.*klthe consumer was informed the parts were not available.
For about the last 2 years, every time i fill the gas tank to full i get fuel spray. I thought it might be stations pump handle but it happens at any station all the time.i also received a safety recall for the hitch receiver.i took it into the dealer and they said no problem.i was under the impression from the notice that the aftermarket unit would be replaced with a factory unit.i purchased this vehicle used when it was 3 years old.
Three times when i filled my 2005 jeep liberty, the pump shut off and then gas overflowed all down the side of the car and onto my hand and sleeve.i obviously don't fill it anymore, but this is also causing the check engine light to come on so it won't pass inspection.jeep says they've never heard of this happening even though there are several website forums which talk about this problem and also videos on youtube showing it.my own mechanic said he's heard of this happening with other chryslers also.jeep is working with me to cover part of the costs, but there's a series of parts that may have to be replaced and it needs to be retested each time.by the time all is said and done, even my part of the repairs could be substantial.i think this is a serious and dangerous problem and jeep should issue a recall before somebody is seriously hurt.

When you go to fill the gas tank , it overflows constantly , you cannot just stick the nozzle in and let it fill normally, you have to let it go very slowly and even then it will try to overflow. I believe this is a safety hazard. I always have gas spilled out on the pavement and on me most of the time. After researching and reading online forums, i have noticed this is a common problem and that there is a lot of frustration in trying to get someone to listen to our complaints and actually having a solution to this problem. I have also written to chrysler and haven't had any response. Took it jeep to the dealership from which we purchased it , they said it wasn't under warranty and said to research online to fix the problem. Had i known of this problem when we purchased the car, i would not have purchased it.
On jan. 25, 2014, the first notice for a recall was received.according to information on safercar.gov, this recall was started in june 2013 and the recall was expected to begin in july 2013.the notice starts 'parts are not currently available' to correct the problem and no date is provided for the start of repairs.seven + months seems like an excessively long time to receive any notice of a safety problem.is seems unreasonable that no date for the expected repair of my vehicle can be provided at this late date.

When fueling the vehicle, the vehicle no longer causes the gas nozzle automatic cutoff valve to operate before fuel is overflowing down the side of vehicle and on the ground.until this fall, the vehicle usually cutoff the nozzle as the tank was full - very full - but prior to overflow.starting two months ago, the tank always overflows at every pump used.this gasoline spill seems dangerous and is an environmental concern.i have noticed that mine is certainly not the first complaint of this nature, and it seems to be becoming a prevalent concern with this particular vehicle.

An ongoing problem with the fuel gauge is that whenever i fill up i can drive about 20 miles (more or less) and then all of a sudden the engine light and gas light come on and the fuel gauge goes all the way to empty. Which can be pretty scary the first time you see it happen and you're going 75 mph on the interstate. The second problem is the suspension. Any time i turn the steering wheel it creaks. Riding over even barely bumpy roads causes my car to creak and groan. It shakes horribly when driving between 50-55 or even idling but gets better when i take my foot off the gas, apply the brakes, or go at higher speeds.

While refueling the vehicle for the first time after just purchasing it, fuel gushed out of the tank after the pumped had clicked off.the pump did not overfill the tank.fuel splashed out onto the side of the vehicle and on the ground.luckily, i was not directly beside the vehicle or fuel would have splashed on me.i thought this was a fault of the pump until i happened to see a video on utube of other people experiencing the exact problem.this is a design issue with this vehicle and needs to be corrected by the manufacturer.

Over the past 12 months, i have received three (3) separate notices for vehicle recall, notification code n46. Each time i have called my dealer and each time my dealer has told me they do not have any of the parts to accomplish the repair on the recall. They also tell me they have no idea when they will get the parts in.if my vehicle is subject to a recall, i have been driving an unsafe vehicle for quite some time. The dealer shows no sense of caring if i get the vehicle fixed or not. They open themselves up to a lawsuit if something should happen.i think the nhtsa should fine chrysler and the dealer as neither care about getting my jeep fixed. Can you please help me get this thing fixed? my dealer's phone number in athens, ga is [xxx]. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
A year ago, my fuel tank started to intermittently overflow a huge puddle of gas at the filling station when i filled up.now it happens every time i fuel up.i took to the dealer saturday and they said its a common problem among cherokees, but not libertys and there is no recall for either vehicle.the problem is a valve clog in the fuel tank.the fix is an $1800 new fuel tank.that's not going to happen!this seems to be a dangerous problem given all the fires at gas stations recently.every time i fill up i leave a large puddle of gas on the ground, all over my car and have to ride with the windows rolled down for first half hour after filling.only affordable fix is to not fill, but that's next to impossible to gauge. Seems like you should look into this jeep-wide (and i think chrysler-wide) problem.

I can only pump 50 cents worth of gas at a time into my 2005 jeep liberty. The check engine light is on with the evap code. I took my jeep to my mechanic and he cannot find any blockages or anything bent. He called two different local jeep dealers and they claim they have never heard of this problem. I do not understand how they have never heard of this when there are multiple forums about this issue. My mechanic is going to continue to research for a solution for this problem.
I have a 2005 jeep liberty and every time i fill up my gas tank (no matter what station i am at), it always overflows. I hold the nozzle till the nozzle clicks (indicating the tank is full) and consequently a massive amount of gasoline spills out. It's very embarrassing when other people notice and unsafe for the environment. I have read many other complaints on the internet about this and i have seen youtube videos showing it as well.
2005 jeep liberty fuel tank overflows during full tank fill-up.this has happened at multiple fill-up stations and is almost certainly not a result of any particular pump defect.during a full-tank fill up the auto-shut will engage but only after spilling fuel over the car and onto the ground creating a dangerous situation.the frequency of the issue has been increasing over the last several months.the problem now occurs after almost ever fill-up.upon further research this is a common problem experienced by many other owners of this make and model.

The fuel tank on my liberty spews gas when filling (my warranty has expired).i filed a complaint with jeep, and their response was they would replace the gas tank if i pay a $500.00 copay, which to them is a "one time gesture of good will", and to me is unacceptable.there are hundreds of complaints all over the internet on chrysler vehicles with the same problem, and it's my opinion is there should be a recall and the fuel tanks replaced as a safety precaution -warranty or not.apparently, jeep doesn't regard gas flying in your face as their problem, and i'm shocked and appalled they are not required to fix it.
I own a 2005 jeep liberty, every time i fill the car up with gas, it spits out at me. Not just a little, it gets on my clothes, runs down my car and quite a bit ends up on the ground. This has been happening for a long time. I thought this was unique to my vehicle, but i have found out a lot jeep liberty owners have the same problem i do. When i took my car in to get fixed they said it cost $2100. The people at chrysler that i have talked to admit they have seen a lot of this and were willing to work with me, but it would still cost me $500. I believe this is extremely unsafe to me and the environment and these vehicle should be recalled because of this problem. This is not just unique to jeep liberty, but to other jeep products.
Every time i fill up the jeep when it clicks off,it spills about a liter of gas all over my jeep. It happened at different gas stations with different pumps.
While fueling up at the pump, the gas stations pumps automatic shut off is triggered various times while filling, resulting in gasoline overflowing on the side of the vehicle and resulting in a puddle on the floor. This is a big concern as there might be a risk of fire/explosion.

When refueling gas tank, fuel spews out of the filler neck, spraying owner and surrounding area regardless of the station or pump used. When tank nears the full status, it does not shut off as it should but builds up pressure and then spews out of the tank. This has occurred 5 times now.
Hard start and then engine light came on.obdii code p302, changed spark plug and coil.engine knocks and runs rough.possible valve issue.the consumer stated too much time has gone by, since he received the recall notice regarding the installation of the trailer hitch.chrysler informed the consumer the parts were not available.

Several months ago, started having difficulty fueling vehicle.fuel splashes back up out of tank.nozzle continually shuts off because gas overflows.occurs at all pumps-not just high pressure.this happens during entire fill process, even when filling an empty tank.requires hand holding nozle and filling at extremely slow rate.even at very slow rate, must repeatedly stop all flow every few seconds or pump nozle will automatically shut off due to gas overflow.takes extreme amount of time to fill entire tank and never sure it is full due to nozle shut-off continually being activated with back up of gas.research on internet shows ongoing problem with other jeeps as well.

I am writing regarding the recent recall of all jeep liberty's. Despite what it says here, chrysler has told me they will not inspect nor install a trailer hitch on my 2005 liberty which is clearly part of the recall. Did they just lie and say they would do this to avoid legal action? please investigate this.:nhtsa statement on chrysler announcement regarding action on 1993-2004 jeep grand cherokees and 2002-2007 jeep liberty'sbased on nhtsa?s preliminary analysis, as outlined in its recall request letter, chrysler has voluntarily agreed to conduct a safety recall of model year 2002-2007 liberty and 1993-1998 jeep grand cherokee vehicles. On vehicles in the recall that are not equipped with a tow hitch, chrysler will install a chrysler designed tow hitch free of charge, provided the condition of the vehicle can support proper installation. On vehicles in the recall that are equipped with an after market tow hitch, chrysler will assess whether the hitch and surrounding areas show evidence of sharp edges or other puncture risks. If so, chrysler will replace the tow hitch with a chrysler designed tow hitch free of charge, provided the condition of the vehicle can support proper installation. On vehicles already equipped with a chrysler designed tow hitch, chrysler will inspect the area around the tow hitch installation, and if any installation issues are identified, they will be repaired free of charge.
Every time i put fuel in my car, the automatic shut off does not engage. I splash gas all over my car and it drips to the ground. If i am not super careful, i also end up with gas on me and i have the smell of fuel on me. I must stand closely to my car, and i must listen to the fuel and guess when to stop pumping.i worries me everytime i fuel my car.

Every time i go to the gas station and fill up my tank, the pump doesn't shut off and it spill about a cup full of gas. Also after some research there are manyother jeep owners that are dealing with the same problem!!!
My 2005 jeep liberty limited 4wd overflows its fuel tank every time it is refueled.the vehicle has less than 30,000 miles on it, and this problem has appeared consistently each of the last 5 times i have refueled.the fuel will continue to fill and then overflow the tank unless manually stopped.the problem occurs regardless of where the fueling occurs; any fuel pump causes the problem.the problem must lie in the fuel tank system of the vehicle itself.
Under safety recall n46/nhtsa 13v-252, we forwarded to chrysler a letter with request for reimbursement for a trailer hitch we replaced in 2011, we were told since the trailer hitch was not oem, that chrysler was still determining whether a possible reimbursement was available for those with aftermarket trailer hitch, we were told we would get an explanation in writing, this was last december 2013, we are still awaiting a written response, we had sent all proper documentation on our cost to install the trailer hitch in 2011 and still have a copy of the receipt, we had to send the original to chrysler

Received a recall noticedabout the first of the year concerning the fuel tank. I have since had my jeep in for a tune up twice and both times i have been told that they do not have the part in yet . And that the factory has not done anything about replacement parts. I keep calling and have been told the same thing from the parts department...part not in, factory is not sending any parts. I purchased this vehicle brand new from a jeep dealer and have only had my jeep serviced from them in the past 9 years.. Does this warrant a complaint.
Beginning in november, 2010, each time i put gas into my 2005 jeep liberty, the pump did not stop in time and gas spilled out all over the car, on the ground, and on me. As of today, december 10, 2010, is has now happened 6 times at 6 different pumps at multiple gas stations indicating there is something wrong with the car. This problem is very harmful to the environment creating toxic runoff and is harmful to me as i breathe in the fumes.
My jeep liberty 2005 has always since new splashed gas back from tank when filling up. I didn't know others had this problem until i read this complaint page. It did it new and has continued to splash back alot of gas onto the body of the car and on the pavement in front of gas tanks when filling up tank at any location. I tend to try to stop filling before full to stop this problem. With so many complaints you should require this problem be repaired. This is dangerous for me and others at the station if just one person comes by smoking. Please acknowledge that this is my formal complaint in case there is ever a death or situation that this become fatal.

Hi,i own a 2005 jeep liberty for my wife, purchased it with 20k and now with 98k we have a consistent problem with gas pumps not shutting off at any of the stations where i have purchased gas. At first i just assumed it was related to a particular pump, but have found that it overflows no matter where i purchase gas.i have done some research on liberty owners forums and talked to others who have the same problem. Some have had their tanks replaced, which seems to solve the problem.i believe that this is a serious danger, especially with 3 young kids of ages 7,5,2 and if god forgive something horrible would happen and certainly an environmental issue especially when such efforts are made to even control vapor emissions on modern vehicles.the first time the tank overflowed my wife relates it to me as being scared,surprised and soaked her leg and shoes. When trying to pump gas it just literately just not easy it takes about 10 minutes to pump half a tank manually. The stopping the pump to avoid spilling gas is not suitable long term solution.i'm concerned about the environmental issue, but am more anxious about the safety issue this causes, especially for my wife and kids. It's bad enough driving around with the smell of gas around the jeep, but i hate to think about other worse scenarios such as a fire or having gas sprayed in someones face.i hope there is a fix for this and believe that it should be covered as part of an emissions and customer safety related service campaign. Please let me know how to get this fixed.thanks,signed
Gas tank overflows when left filling at gas pump, does not activate auto off at any pumps for gas flow. Issue that seems to appear in a lot of jeep liberty's.
Gas tank overflows while refueling and splashing gasoline all over car, ground and person (if nearby).huge safety and fire issue.shutoff doesn't engage and happens both during the filling process or when full.pulling nozzle out some does not help problem. Ambient temperature doesn't not matter.live in colorado with both hot and cold, same issue.dozens ofcomplaints on this site and on jeep blogs about this issue.chrysler needs to fix before someone catches fire or a station blows up.i am sure the gas station owners would be happy to join consumers in getting this dangerous situation fixed for everyone's sake.
The fuel tank appears to not properly vent whiling refueling which causes the fuel pump to kick off and fuel to be ejected from the tank while refueling.even when you try to refill the tank very slowly the problem is still present.some fuel stations don't have pumps that operate at a slow enough flow rate for me to be able to fill the tank.it takes about 15 to 20 minutes to fill the 20 gallon tank.
When i fill with gas the tank over flows, splashing out gas from the filler neck. This happens either way on automatic or manual filling. This has continued to happen since 2008.
2005 jeep liberty.consumer writes in regards to the extensive amount of time since recall notice and no attempt to remedy the situation.the consumer stated it has been over a year since, he received the recall notice.the consumer referenced recall # 13v252000.
Another 2005 jeep liberty sport model that started "burping" about a pint of fuel out of the fill when pumping gas and the tank gets to the full level.this vehicle did not do this for the first years of ownership.this happens at any station and during any weather.the only way around this is to guess how much fuel the vehicle is going to need based on the fuel gauge reading and slow the fill process down to a crawl when nearing what you think is nearly full.this is really a safety problem for both personal injury and fire.unfortunately, with the vehicle out of warranty, the manufacturer will not be doing anything about this unless forced into a recall.
Fuel overflows - every time fueling up gas shuts off and flows backup and out spilling out over whoever is filling it. Shut off (baffle is not closing) to keep the fuel from coming back out. Extreme safety hazard. This needs to be addressed before someone gets seriously injured. Past due for recall !!!!
Gas tank overfills and spills gasoline on every fillup, started occurring at under 70k miles.
When filling the car with gas it does not stop it pops out and if you are in the way will go all over you on the ground and the car. Plus you are paying for gas that is not in your car.
I purchased a 2005 jeep liberty from a dealer lot 01-27-2012. Today i filled up the gas tank for the first time and it overflowed on me, got on my jeans legs, jacket, on the ground and on the left rear quarter panel of the jeep. The dealer filled up the gas tank before it was takenoff the lot, and i was not informed of any problem by them. This vehicle transports my 3-year old in it!!!
I put the gas pump on automatic and went inside to get a receipt when i came back the pump had stopped and there was gas all over the side of my jeep and on the ground!
The contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty. The contact stated that nhtsa campaign number: 13v252000 (fuel system, gasoline, structure) had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for repair. The dealer stated the part needed was not available for repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the delay. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact had not experienced a failure.
At least a year ago i verbally notified john elway jeep-west, now go, that when adding gasoline at the filling station the auto-shut-off did not work and allowed the tank to overflow onto my person, the side of the vehicle and the cement.i was told the gas tank would need to be drained before a determination could be made.i did purchase fuel from three filling stations proving the overflowing was not a result of the equipment pumping gasoline into my vehicle.
2005 jeep liberty.approx 62,000 miles.gasoline will overflow from tank when fueling before pump automatically shuts off.the gasoline will overflow at every time the tank is filled to "full", regardless of station location or brand.most of the time the amount of overflow is estimated at less than a cup, but has been as much as a pint on a few occasions.this did not happen for the first 4 years the vehicle was owned, and then would only happen occasionally.the tank now overflows every time. Since the issue is present regardless of the pump used, the vehicle itself is the likely defective component.i have read many reports of this issue online, but as of yet this issue has not led to a recall.this is a health and safety issue as it is a fire hazard.it is also a hazard for the person pumping the gas as the person has the gasoline spilled or sprayed on them.the spillage will also cause the car to smell of a gasoline odor and fumes are likely present.i must now make sure my 2 month old is not in the vehicle when i refuel as i am worried about him being exposed to the fumes.
When i fill the car with gas, gas spurts out of the pump after it shuts off.this is a serious safety issue and it appears that jeep is aware of the problem but has refused to do a recall for the fix.i was told by the dealer that the only way to fix it was to replace the entire gas tank at a cost of over $1,200

For the second time in less than a month my gas tank has overflowed while filling. I went to a different pump than the previous time. This time the pressure of the gas going in when it overflowed was enough to cause the gas to spray back out and upward towards my face. I have a 3 year old who rides in my vehicle all the time including when i stop for gas. I have to take her out of her carseat and carry her inside to pay. Gas gets on my hands which i can't go inside to wash off without getting gas on her in the process. If i would have been standing in front of the gas nozzle this time, it would have sprayed into my face and eyes.

I went to allen samuels about the gas tank and i did not get the hitch i needed. The advisor [xxx] said i needed a request from chrysler. Helpinformation redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
When i fill up my gas tank and let the pump do the automatic shut off it overflows. Gas leaks out of the tank, on the side of the car, on the ground and sometimes on myself. This is dangerous and leaves a gas smell in the car for at least a day.

When filling the fuel tank, the pump does not automatically turn off. Resulting in fuel spraying all over operator, jeep, and pavement. I have read many other similar complaints, is chrysler going to step-up and recall this potentially dangerous problem before someone is seriously injured?

Contacted dealer about n46/nhtsa.13v-252 gas tank recall on 3/10/14 and dealer said they have no information on when parts are coming or how to handle recall. When will this take place.no action by chrysler. I received the recall notice around the end of last year.it should not be taking this long. Are we waiting for more injuries for court cases or for chrysler to hope most of the vehicles to be out of service? i can't believe i am the only one in this town of 55000 people with a jeep.
When pumping gas into my car, when it approaches full, gas spills out of the tank. It does not recognize when the car is full with gas, and gas spillage occurs. I contacted chrysler and brought the vehicle for a diagnosis into a jeep dealership. The stated that the fuel tank needs replacement which would cost approximately 1600 dollars. They would only cover 50 percent, which i cannot afford, and will not take any other responsibility with helping with this repair.
I just had to have my fuel tank replaced because the overflow function did not work when filling the vehicle with gas.the auto-shutoff did not activate causing gas to waterfall out of the tank when the pump did not shut off when filling gas.this is the same problem for which the jeep wranglers were just recalled.
My 2005 jeep liberty suddenly turned off completely and minutes later in the parking lot of a banking establishment went up in flames. The fire started in the engine bay and quickly moved through the rest of the car. The fire destroyed the vehicle and all of my personal belongings.there were no prior signs to inform me that a fire was soon to come otherwise i wouldn't have driven it.
When filling the gas tank on this vehicle, it fills up and then overflows before after the filler shuts off. This spills gasoline out and onto the ground. Potential for fire and it's bad for the environment.
I was sent a recall notice for my 2005 jeep liberty (n46 recall). After a long wait being told there were no parts available i finally got it into a dealer who told me they were unable to install the trailer hitch because of rust and that chrysler states that it is a level 5 corrosion so they were unable to fix the problem. I find this very disturbing since there have been so many accidents with the gas tank exploding and burning the whole car on impacts, rollovers, etc.i feel very unsafe to drive this vehicle at this point and still feel that the dealer should be able to do something to fix this problem... ...updated08/20/15updated 9/25/2017
When filling my 2005 jeep liberty with fuel it spits back almost a quart. I have tried different pumps at different stations and it does this every time. The problem is very harmful to the environment and to me as i breathe in the fumes. There needs to be a recall to protect consumer.
I just bought a 2005 jeep liberty limited with 90k miles.my last two fillups at different pumps resulted in the pump shutting off but gas spilling down the side of the vehicle.once was with the autopump lever engaged and once was while holding the pump lever manually.there are so many complaints about this that there needs to be a recall to protect consumers from exposure and protect the environment.consider the amount of vehicles with this problem dumping gas on the ground on a daily basis.it could be a staggering amount of gas.

Gas tank would not take fuel. For 177.00 the dealer told me the safty valve was stuck in the fill tube and i needed 1400.00 for a new tank. Only 72,000 miles and all new valves ,2 recalls andnow this.never again.

I just registered a 2005 jeep liberty i went to the gas station to purchase gasoline. The fuel tank will not allow me to pump fuel into the tank. The fuel back lashes and shoot out of the tank. It took 20 minutes to pump 20.00 worth of fuel at pumping .50 cent worth at a time then allowing it to settle.
Every single time i fill up my jeep, it never fails to over fill. The gas pump does not shut off until the gas is coming out and spilling all over my vehicle.
Gas spurts out the filler tube when the vehicle is being filled and it is near full. The automatic pumps do not shut off as they would when the vehicle's tank is full. This happens regardless of whether i am filling with the convenience lock on the handle of the pump or when filling the vehicle squeezing the pump handle myself.

Hello my name is [xxx] and i recently learned that my jeep liberty is up for a recall the letter from the dealer says the fuel tank on your vehicle has a small chance of experiencing a fuel leak during certain types of rear ends collisions. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in an underbody fire. I already went to the dealer and they say that they don't have the parts, that was on february and they haven't contact me. I don't speak english so please contact me in spanish. Thanks and have a good day.
Fuel overflow issue: while refueling, tank will consistently overflow large amounts of gasoline onto the ground. Problem occurs regardless of gas station used. Problem has occurred consistently for several years. This problem is a safety and environmental issue and should result in a recall before somebody is injured or the environment is further soiled. Internet research indicates that numerous other owners have reported this problem to chrysler corporation and some may be denied repairs due to expiration of vehicle warranty. Fuel/emissions/safety issues such as this should not be restricted to powertrain warranty and should be warranted for the life of vehicle.others complaints and description of problem can be found here:http://www.ridgelineownersclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36166http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f176/have-fuel-spill-problems-like-many-us-submit-complaint-force-recall-974337/.
According to nhtsa, this vehicle is subject to a voluntary recall (n46/nhtsa 13v-252) that was to commence in july 2013.i received a letter confirming this from the manufacturer over two months ago that said i would be notified when the part to correct the problem was available.i have contacted chrysler twice and no one can say when the part will be available.since the part to correct the problem was a factory and/or dealer installed option when this car was built, and since there are many manufacturers with similar parts, i can only conclude that the unreasonable delay appears to be intentional.the longer chrysler waits, the fewer jeeps will need to be repaired.of course, each day without repair presents a safety risk that also decreases the value of my vehicle.
We purchased this car in august of 2008 from a dealership with 25,462 miles. When you fill the car with gas it overflows out the gascap instead of the gas pump automatically shutting off. It splashes back at you. I have no check engine lights. I was told that because of saddle bag style gas tank i should let the engine run for a minute at idle before turning engine off and filling gas tank. I tried this several times and gas pump still does not stop when it should and splashes back at you before pump stops. Is there a solution to this problem? gas sprays back at you and also runs down side of car. It could be dangerous!
Every time i fill my jeep liberty (2005) gas tank, the gasoline splashes out the fuel spout onto the vehicle, the ground and me (the person filling the tank).the amount of fuel that splashes out onto the car and ground when the tank reaches "full" is very significant enough to cause serious injury.this happens each time i fill the tank to the point where i can't fill the gas tank to capacity due to gas fume inhalation and spill on me and vehicle.i feel this is a serious problem that affects my health and safety and would like it fixed.now i only fill the gas tank just below capacity so it doesn't leak fuel.

Each time i go to have gas put in my vehicle (no matter what gas station) or whether the gas is almost full or almost empty.when the gas is being filled it will spit the gas back out unless you fill it very, very, very slow and wait for the gas to settle.it spits it out on the side of the truck and has a very bad fume smell or odor after having gas pumped each time.this should be a safety concern and i do not understand why this has not been a recall via chrysler-jeep with all of the complaints i have read online.
2005 jeep liberty ltd. - when fueling the vehicle on four (4) occasions now, the gasoline spews out of the fuel tank onto the owner and also down the side of the vehicle.i saw a report where the gas tank needs to be at one-quarter full for inspection and that the fuel tank should be inspected because this is a very dangerous thing to have happen.this owner will contact the dealer (john elway-west, now go dealership) to make an appointment for checking of the gas tank, etc.this vehicle is completely under warranty until 60,000 miles.if you read this and have had this experience, please write to: thank you.
Upon approaching a red light, i pressed on the brake pedal to make a stop. At that time the engine continued to accelerate. Not knowing if i was going to be able to stop i pulled along the side of the road and released my foot from the brake. When i did this the engine kicked back down to a normal idling speed. I did contact my dealership and jeep manufacturing. Waiting on a reply from jeep.
My 2005 jeep liberty 4x4 was serviced on january 11, 2007 at its place of purchase (brown daub chrysler in easton, pa). I had described to my service tech the car was making a loud screeching noise when turning and that the car had pulled to the right off and on (every few days) while i was driving. The mechanic stated that he found a "normal noise" related to an air valve in the power steering, and there were no repairs made to the vehicle.i was operating the jeep liberty on saturday, february 3rd. I had the vehicle in park at a drive-up atm. When i shifted the car back into drive, the front tires grabbed, the car kicked forward and the steering wheel pulled to the right. The jeep rode up over a concrete curb and struck a cement pole, shattering the passenger's side front window, ripping off the door handle, causing a dent and paint damage to the passenger's side of the vehicle. Beyond this problem, the jeep has been serviced for a broad range of mechanical problems at least seven other times since the purchase date (october 2004). The fuel sending unit has been replaced twice, the vehicle has had two recalls, and four months after i purchased the vehicle the sensor wires had "rubbed through completely" on the transmission.right now, the vehicle is at a body shop for repair and inspection. It will then be returned to brown daub for a thorough diagnostic checkup of the power steering and/or steering column. Beyond the steering issue, this is not the first time the car has 'kicked forward' - normally this occurs after stopping on wet roads (at traffic lights)my main concern, again, is the steering issue that contributed to this accident. I believe it needs to be further investigated.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty. The contact stated that the odor of fuel was present inside and outside of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the odor was caused by a fuel leak coming from the fuel pressure valve. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 123,000.
Gas tank has no flap where the gas goes into the tank. As a result gas sloshes out of the tank when full. The pump does not shut off and the gas runs out the side of the tank. I consider this to be very dangerous. The dealer told me they checked the other vehicles in their lot and several were that way and they had no other complaints about this. This happens every time i get gas.
2005 jeep liberty.consumer writes in regards to vehicle fuel tank issues.the consumer stated the vehicle was spilling gas, every time she filled the tank.the consumer was informed chrysler was aware of the problem and the warranty had been extended. However, upon further investigation, it was discovered that only the 2006 and 2007 were covered. The dealer then informed the consumer the cost of the repair was $1500 for the fuel tank, plus labor and any incidental charges.
Fuel gas tanks overflows when filling at gas station. You can not just stick the nozzle in and let it fill normally. If you do so, gas will spill out which it is dangerous since a fire or explosion can occur easily. Manufacturer does not want to assume responsibility and says it is not covered by warranty.
A minor impact into the rear of a 2005 jeep liberty by a mid size lexus suv traveling about 15 to 20 mph caused the poorly designed and poorly locatedplastic gas tank of the jeep to rupture and leak profusely. Thankfully the vehicle did not ignite on fire otherwise someone would have died. I cannot believe that this and other jeep products (the wrangler comes to mind) are allowed on the road. Many of these vehicles have or had rear mounted gas tanks with little or no crush space. The liberty appears to be the worst with what could only be described as having a gas tank mounted bumper! also, the gas tank hangs well below the bumper and in most cases the vehicle that hits it from behind dives under the jeeps bumper and hits the tank directly. Something needs to be done about these vehicles!
When going to the gas pump to get fuel and placing it on automatic, when full the pump shuts off and then it "burps" back at me. Spilling gasoline on me and everything around me. It is also ruining the paint on my vehicle, spilling all over it every time this happens. I have owned the jeep since 2006 and it just started doing it about four months ago. My tech said it must be a faulty fuel tank filler neck. It was replaced at the cost of $443.50. And that did not solve the problem. He thought someone had tried to steal my gas and damaged it. It still burps every time i fill it up. I consider this very dangerous, besides being a nuisance and damaging other things. I have checked this out on the internet and find that this is happening to several others who are owners of jeep liberty's. There is a demo on you tube .
The contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty.during fueling gasoline would spray out of the fuel tank, which caused the surrounding area to be submerged with fuel.

The failure mileage was 98,000.
Jeep changed the vehicle mpg performance with a required recall to jeep crd diesel. The recall detuned the engine. Prior to recall i would get about 30+ mpg highway, after the recall i am getting 16.4 mpg highway. I was told today by a jeep representative that there was no fix available to correct the problem. I don't understand why i should have to suffer a 50% loss in mpg after their fix!
The fuel filter head is leaking diesel through the heater plug.for more information goto:http://www.lostkjs.com/forum/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=21971
The reason i'm writing is because i read in a jeep liberty diesel 2005/2006 forum that fuel leaks have been common.on july 07, 07, i parked the jeep, shut off engine, and walked inside my house. After 10 minutess, i saw smoke coming from under hood and drops of flames coming from under the jeep.the fire dept. Was called to put out the fire, which burned the entire front of the vehicle.
After the car died 2 times this week while driving we found fuel to be leaking from the fuel filter head where the fuel heater plugged into it. The fuel wasthen leaking down this line into other electrical sensors / computers,causing a fire hazard.
05 jeep liberty has had a code of p0456 small leak in the evap system. We took it to the dealership and they said that they couldn't find a problem and if the code came back it would most likely be the leak detection pump. The code came back two weeks later. I called the dealership they said i would have to pay for another dino test to see if they can find a fail in the system. I found out there are hundreds of people that are having the same problem. I am suggesting that this evap system leak detection pump is defected if it breaks every 2 years, the jeep does not have to be smogged in ca for 5 years that's alot of vapor going into the air.

On multiple occasions since buying the vehicle from a dealer in 2011, while filling up the gas tank the gas has not automatically shut off at the full point causing gas to flow onto the rear quarter panel, and on my hands and jeans. On multiple occasions i have had my daughter in the vehicle who is still in a car seat and must be picked up and helped in and out of the vehicle. Cannot leave my daughter in the vehicle to wash fuel off my hands, and had to help her with gas on me. This has been reported many times and yet nothing has been done. Before even leaving the parking lot with new vehicle dealer took vehicle and filled up gas tank, i was never notified of overflow issues at the dealership, or when the dealer returned with the vehicle. I now slow the gas pump down to avoid the overflow but it still does it just not to the point of spraying upward towards my face.

The vehicle consistently spills fuel upon filling the tank. Automatic shutoffs at gas stations do not prevent this from happening. It has happened at different gas stations in different states, so i do not believe it is caused by the gas station pumping system. Some spills have been up to 0.5 gallons. In my opinion this presents a severe fire hazard.
Chrysler sent me a recall notice in march 2014 stating atrailer hitch would be installed free of charge as a rear-end collision could cause a fuel leakage causingan underbody fire resulting in injury or death. I have called chrysler and a jeep dealership numerous times...chrysler says they do not have theparts...it's been 4 months....

The manufacturer was notified of the issue.the contact had not experienced a failure.
When filling the fuel tank, as the fuel level nears the fuel tank capacity the gasoline splashes out of the filler neck and spreads down the side of the jeep liberty and forms a large puddle on the pavement of the gas station.this large puddle of gas could cause a fire/explosion if ignited, thereby killing the occupant of this jeep liberty and other customers at the gas station.in addition to this if the large puddle of gasoline is not ignited, after about 10 minutes the spilled fuel has all evaporated into the atmosphere causing pollution to our atmosphere.i am concerned that i am violating epa emission laws.
When fueling the car at the gas pump, it overflows.shut off mechanism is not working properly.jeep dealer said that it needs to replace the gas tank.this is a problem with many jeep liberty's.

At approx 8:00 on the morning of 2/16/15 my 2005 jeep liberty, 3.8l v-6 with automatic transmission began to accelerate out of control while braking for a stop sign.the engine was cold, i had just started it and the temperature was in the mid to upper 50s.i was traveling about 27 mph, and began to slow for the stop.at about 10-15 mph, i noticed the car was no longer slowing down.it seemed as though the brakes stopped working.at the same time, the enginebriefly revved on its own.this made the car accelerate.i could not stop at the stop sign and the car accelerated into 50 mph cross traffic.i made a hard right turn to bring the car next to the curb, allowing room for traffic to go by.at the same time, i put the transmission into neutral and that allowed the car to stop.i then put the car into park and revved the engine.it seemed to respond normally at that point (engine would return to idle immediately after taking my foot off the gas).after shifting between part to drive, then reverse, etc. Several times, it still seemed to work normally so i continued to work with no further problems. It seemed as though while coming to a stop, the transmission did not down shift or disengage.as the engine rpms were reduced below idle due to the car slowing, the computer control system tried to bring the engine speed back up, causing it to accelerate.a couple of facts -the car has approx. 159,800 miles on the odometer.i purchased it used a few months ago and have put 13,000 miles on it. When i purchased it i had it examined by a mechanic and had all the hoses, belts, etc. Replaced.i've had the oil changed at about 5,000 mile intervals.i drive with one foot only, i don't use separate feet for the gas and the brake.the floor mat was not moved before or after this incident, and is not close to the gas pedal.check engine light did not come on.

While filling fuel tank, fuel began to be spit out of the filler neck. Fuel dispenser had clicked and shut off fuel delivery when this occurred. This occurs every time the gas tank is filled. I doesn't matter whether the tank is filled slowly or fast. Since vehicle is out of warranty dealers refuse to do anything about this issue.

We had this jeep from day one. When you fill the tank it worked great until about 2 years ago.now when you fill the thank at the very end of fueling it will kick gas all over the out side of the car and if you are standing near it you will be covered.i have had it looked at and they say it is the tank and that i will need a new gas tank.this is a manufacturerdefect and i think it should be replaced by jeep.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Every single time we fill up the car (no topping off), the gas shoots out of the tank back at us.we bought thisused car for hoping it would be reliable, but this is a recurring dangerous problem.we lower the flow of fuel from the pump, but it still happens.very dangerous!we have head that the plastic o ring swells with gasoline that contains ethanol and fails to cut the back flow off.the problem with this is, all pumps in our area contain at least 10% ethanol.what good is a car if you can't drive it?!

I am a fleet manager with the colorado department of transportation. We possess several of these recalled vehicles. The recall states that the fuel tank is vulnerable to fuel leakage in the event of a rear end collision. Chrysler's fix is to install a trailer hitch to serve as additional structural reinforcement. I received three recall notices some months ago. Those notices stated that at that time, chrysler did not have sufficient parts to effect the repairs, but that they would contact us when the parts were in stock. We heard nothing from chrysler, when i received notices for 15 more vehicles. I contacted cherry creek dodge and was told that they had 5 hitches in stock. When my staff dropped off a vehicle for repair, they were told we would have to take them to colorado chrysler going forward. I called colorado chrysler to see if they had parts. I was told they did not, and they did not expect to see any until the end of october. They said they were not permitted to order any, and that they were limited to an automatic replenishment of 5 hitches per month. Needless to say, this is ridiculous. These vehicles have a safety issue, and the chrysler dealers are dragging their feet on repairing them. Meanwhile, i have employees driving unsafe vehicles. I suspect that since the newest vehicles affected by this recall are 7 years old, they are being cynical and betting that most of these vehicles will be off the road soon, so if they can drag out the process it will save them money. This is completely unacceptable!
Fuel overflows from filler after auto-shutoff of pump occurs.occurs every time fueling operations occurs regardless of fuel station.numerous complaints issue but no service bulletins or recalls. Potential fire hazard.
We received the notice about the gas/fuel tank potential to catch fire, we took our vehicle to the dealer. The dealer explained that we have too much corrosion on our vehicle to be repaired. The cost to repair exceeds the value of the vehicle, currently we are still driving with a vehicle that may catch fire. We contacted chrysler as we still are paying off the vehicle, we where given the run around until finally one associate told us simply, they will not help you. Prior to this recall notice we have constantly had issues when filling up with gas and the gas would leak out in large quantities instead of shutting off. We replaced the oil pan recently after it rusted out, we are about to replace to transmission fluid pan as that is about to rust out, the transmission lines are also rusting and corroded. Our jeep may be an 05 but it looks as if its brand new rolling off the line, we take care of our vehicle. We are informed consumers and know there is a recall for chrysler failing to fix the fuel tank explosion issues, when we looked up the vin for our vehicle it was not showing that it is one of the one's being recalled. Our vehicle was not repaired and we should be included in this recall. We want to know if our vehicle will be included in the recall. We still have all the paperwork from visiting the dealer. When we took the vehicle up for the recall, the dealership told us that jeep has issues with rust to begin with and that it is a known issue that has yet to be corrected.

Every time i get gas, the liberty cannot tell when to stop the pump from pumping gas. Gas ends up overflowing down the side of the car, on the ground and even sometimes on me. This is a dangerous situation.
When filling the gas tank the fuel spews out and does not automatically shut off.this happens at different gas stations and started happening at approximately 50,000 miles.
When fuelling my liberty, the fuel wont stop pumping until its all down the side of my car and on the ground.

My son took his 2005 jeep liberty in for the recall where they are supposed to install a trailer hitch to prevent the gas tank from rupturing during a rear end collision.they told him his frame had too much rust on it and that they could not put on the hitch. It is a ny car and he now lives in arkansas. It is in normal condition for a 10 year old car driven year around in upstate ny.i am sure that they have not see as much rust on vehicles in arkansas so i think they are antsy about any rust at all. Or, they are looking for any excuse not to do the repair.the amount of rust just speaks to the original design/manufacturing quality if anything. It been over 2.5 years since the recall was first announced and over a year to the point that they had enough hitches.he's been trying to get in for repair the last 6 months.i'm sure 3 years ago there was less rust on the frame but it has taken this long to get it in. Is jeep off the hook because of rust? shouldn't jeep be required to fix the problem on all vehicles that are still on the road?shouldn't they have another fix in place for jeeps that can't accept the "hitch" fix? it appears from what i have read that jeep purposely delayed the recall so there were fewer vehicles left on the road and now they get to make the call when there is too much rust. How am i supposed to feel that my son is safe if jeep is allowed to say "pass" on repairing his vehicle.who allowed jeep to decide if a vehicle gets the fix or not.why was jeep allowed to have a fix that can't work on all vehicles still on the road?i have read there have been additional jeep fires and deaths just in the last 6 months and jeep still has the ability to refuse to fix some vehicles.how is jeep being held responsible for these deaths?what options does he have? please let me know what steps i need to take to have his jeep fixed correctly......updated 05/14/15

I have my brother's 2005 jeep liberty with less than 100,000 miles.it is a very important vehicle to me as he passed from cancer.to date i have filled the car 3x and every time i get a gas gusher coming out of the tank. The last time i was extra careful and still ended up getting gas all over the car and myself.now i try to estimate gallons so it doesn't spray out and i stand off to the side.600.00 is a lot of money to spend for a new fuel neck replacement.obviously not everyone is reporting this as they are trying to fix it themselves. Try googling this on the internet.this is not a safe situation, although gas on the outside dissipates quite quickly.one spark and the gas station could be toast.i am very leery of chrysler & dodge gas tanks, thankfully my magnum which started acting up had a lifetime warranty on the fuel tank, which dodge is not very quick to point out.my magnum just started dying after it was filled up, fixed now i hope.hoping you can come up with a re-call for these jeeps.very disappointed in the fueling up issues.

Intake valve is not working properly.gas spills during refueling.
Every timethe vehicle is refueled, it does not shut off as it should and gas pours out and all over the ground and down the side of the vehicle. Several times it has been so bad that employees of the gas station had to intervene. This is a fire hazard, as well as a environmental problem.

The vehicle was being filled with fuel from a standard fuel pump equipped with an automatic shutoff sensor. When the fuel tank became full, the sensor was not triggered, resulting in fuel spraying from the fuel tank, covering the side panel of the vehicle, the ground, as well as the person fueling the vehicle. This issue has been recurring 100% of the time when the vehicle is filled using an automatic shutoff pump.different gas stations have been used with the same results. This is obviously a safety hazard considering that the person filling the tank and the car are becoming soaked in fuel, and an environmental issue due to the amount of fuel being spilled onto the ground.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty. The contact stated whileat a stop sign the vehicle stalled without warning. The gasoline gauge showed a quarter tank.

Fuel erupts out at end of fill up for quite some time but in this incident the fuel erupted out before 1 gallon and right after 1 gallon. A large amount came out and would have gotten on me but i recognized the sound and moved. I now have to slowly trickle the fuel in or it erupts out.
Each time i try to fill up the gas tank, the tank overflows and gas spews onto the ground, onto the pump, and all over the car.

Starting back in august and continuing to this date, every time i put fuel into the jeep it splashes out of the gas tank when full.not just a little splash either!it pours out of the gas tank and down the side of the jeep every time.i can somewhat control the splash by clicking off the gas pump handle at intermediate intervals and then going very slowly to put the last 2 to 3 gallons of gas in the tank, but this doesn't always work.when the tank is almost full it will start to spew out.

Every time i fill up my gas tank, it overflows. I put on the lock and then it pumps until it overflows. Gas then drips down the side of my car and onto the ground, creating a fire hazard. Once this happens, i then can smell the gas fumes inside my car as well.

Whenever i fill up at the gas station, the gas pours out of the filler neck before the pump stops. It happens every time i fill up, no matter what station i go to. I now have to stop short of filling all the way, otherwise the gas spills all over the side of the truck and the fumes get into the inside of the cabin.

Just like many other jeep liberties, fuel spews out, when i am filling the tank up.it does not matter which station, or brand that i use.the pump shuts of, followed by about 1/4 to 1/2 gallon of fuel coming back out.this is dangerous to the environment, the body of the vehicle, and to me.i had the problem diagnosed at a local chrysler dealership as the vehicle needing a new fuel tank.i contacted chrysler this morning, and they said since there isn't a recall, they would not do anything to help me out.since this is obviously a manufacturing defect, since so many people have the exact same problem, chrysler should be fixing this problem, at their expense!i should not have to pay to fix chrysler's mistakes.
While fueling up and it is full the automatic pump does not shut off till it over flows a little, it does it every time you go thepump. And you lose like a quarter of a gallon of gas out of it.
I own a 2005 jeep liberty crd and this weekend i had trouble with it starting. We primed it from the fuel filter and it fired up. On my way to take it home, the jeep stalled 3 more times. I took it in to the shop today, and for about $400 it will be fixed. The fuel filter housing went bad, the fuel filter is bad and i had some wiring get fried in the process. I am reading loads of people having this issue and stating a faulty design from chrysler. Why isn't this a recall then? i read on a few that mentioned the results of this fix, that it's been redesigned and they are having no more trouble. I hope that it the case for me too, and believe this would be an important recall as this can cause fire and accidents.
Received recall notice on my liberty. Went into local service dealer as they stated recall was due. Dealer then stated they had no parts, no technical data or guidance on this particular recall. Additionally, if this vehicle sits for over two days will not start (battery dies). Multiple batteries installed, charging system, no known electrical shorts or errant computer codes. Chrysler will not address issue because it is out of warranty.
It started backing fuel out of the filler tube almost everytime as the fuel tank approached a full level.at first it started intermittently but lately, it does every time which results in a fuel spill on the ground, down the side of the vehicle, and on me, if i'm not paying attention.it seems dangerous.the same thing happened on my 07 chrysler aspen and chrysler answered the problem with a recall and extended warranty on that item.it has worked perfectly since then.i've talked to the dealer and they don't seem to know the answer...even though it seems likely to me that it is the same problem as the chrysler (maybe the same system as the chrysler).if they seemed more positive about the repair, i would pay to have it fixed.

Nhtsa recall number 13v-252.chrysler/jeep has never contacted me in reference to this recall.which seems to be very serious since it appears passengers in my vehicle and myself could be killed due to this defect.another example of jeep not caring about their customers.once they get their money they don't know you.i am the only owner of the vehicle and i have not moved so there is no excuse for not contacting me.i am sure they will lie and say they did.if they had i would have had the work done since it involves life and death.all about the bottom line and not caring about people.i would prefer they send me the materials to repair the problem and i will have my mechanic take care of the issue.when i had jeep repair a defective window regulator now that door does not work.i want it done right so have them send me the parts needed to: 115 avenue c, sch. Haven, pa17972.
I can't put more than $1 worth of gas in at a time.fuel continues to back up onto me and the ground.very harmful to my family and the environment.upon doing some research it seems to be a major problem that shows up here and on many websites.jeep has already put out a service bulletin, but there needs to be a recall.

I am complaining because like 2 years ago a recall was issued for my jeep liberty 2005, due to design defect of placing the fuel tank at the end of the vehicle. Supposed to be addressed by addition of a trailer hitch. I have heard nothing further in these 2 years. No notice of recall, no notice of how to get it worked on. How long can this be ignored by chrysler? do they have any intention of abiding by the decision.
Increasingly, gas pump auto shut offs fail.at this point, 100% of the time, the gas pump auto shutoff fails, spilling several ounces of fuel on to the vehicle side and the ground beneath it.
I wanted to include my vehicle incident in regards to the complaints on the jeep suv fires. I thought it was necessary to include my entry, because unlike other incidents mentioned in the investigation, my vehicle spontaneously caught fire while i was driving it and was not the result ofimpact from a crash. It was a friday evening and i was traveling home on the highwayduring rush hour traveling with the flow of traffic at about 65 mph. All of the sudden, and without warning, my vehicle started losing speed at a rapid pace. Thankfully, i was in the first lane and was able to pull immediately into the breakdown lane. All of my dashboard lights came on and while i was leaning over to inspect what could possibly be the problem, the hood of the vehicle suddenly burst into flames. I exited the vehicle swiftly and luckily a tow truck driver who had saw the smoke immediately called 911. The car was engulfed in flames in less then 5 minutes. Had i not been able to exit the vehicle or had children restrained in the back seat, there could have been serious injuries or possibly a fatality. I reported the incident to chrysler after going through my insurance. There response was a polite letter telling me they were sorry for the incident, but were not responsible. The vehicle was less than 2 years old at the time and serviced regularly. The finding of the fire dept.'s inspection was inconclusive, but i was told in confidence that it seemed more than likely it was a faulty issue with the vehicle. After the incident, i took multiple photos of the interior and exterior of the jeep, which included under the hood since we suspected the engine was at fault. If they are useful to your ongoing investigation, please feel free to contact me so that i can email them along. Thank you.
When pumping gas i can only put in less than a gallon at a time or it will all spit back out of the tank. I have been to 3 mechanics and they all said its a common problem with jeep liberty's and they need to replace the tank... Think i'll wait and see if chrysler does the right thing and recalls the problem seeing how hundreds of other owners have the same problem.
My gas overflow every time i fill up my tank.this has been happening for a few years and i contacted jeep and was told they would not do anything. This is a safety hazard and could cause a fire and something should be done i have spoken to several jeep owners with this model and they are having the same problem.
I have a 2005 jeep liberty sport i noticed couple years ago that every time i fill the gas tank up it does not shut the gas nozzle off and always back flows out and runs down the side of my jeep. I thought the gas station issues until try multiples gas stations.
Typically, when refueling,upon reaching the full level with the fuel pump nozzle in the auto shutoff position the pump nozzle will shut off but gasoline will continue to flow and spew out of the fill tube, down the side of the car, onto the ground and onto me.i've learned to manually stop adding fuel prior to the full level to avoid the risks this situation presents.on 11/22/2014 with the fuel tank nearly empty i attempted to refuel with fuel nozzle in auto position for the initial fill period. After adding approximately 2 gallons gasoline began spewing out. To stop the flow i had to grab the nozzle and disengage the lever manually and in the process soaked my hand, arm and lower leg with gasoline. I attempted to begin refueling again with an identical out come. I moved to a different pump station and twice attempted to fill by manually operating the nozzle lever. Gasoline poured and spewed out both times. After having added just 5 gallons total i stopped attempting to add fuel. I am now in the process of finding service/repair before driving the vehicle again as i don't believe it is safe to add fuel in current condition.

My jeep has been on a waiting list for a year now for the fuel tank recall every time i call the dealership they say call us back in a couple months to see where we are on the list i don't feel it should take this long to be fixed
When filling the gas tank, the fuel spews out of the tank instead of the pump shutting off.this happens at all filling stations and different types of fueling nozzles. The side of the car and my shoes and pants were covered in gas.the gas station bay was also covered in gas. This is extremely dangerous.since the fuel pump warns about "re-entering a car" or "using a cell phone" around a gas pump; how dangerous is driving with clothing covered in gas, side of the car covered in gas and how dangerous is leaving a gas puddle at the station?chrysler apparently is replacing some tanks or putting in an "extension" valve on some cars, but mine is not under their warranty.this is not only a fire hazard, but a health issue as well!

Along with many others, my 2005 jeep liberty overflows with fuel about 80% of the time when i go to fill it. I have to fill it halfway and then slowly top it off the rest of the way or risk an overflow of up to a liter of fuel all over the side of the jeep and onto the ground. It does not matter whether i am holding the pump handle or if i set it to automatically shut off. This is at the least a very messy and environmental pollution, and at worst it is a very dangerous fire and explosion hazard. This is also adding to the cost of ownership as i lose an extra dollar or so of gas almost every time i fill up. I realize this may be an expensive fix, but chrysler / gm need to determine how to fix this problem before people get hurt. Please investigate this problem! thank you for your time.

When filling up my jeep for the first time (i had just bought it the previous day), the pump kicked off, and before i had time to put my hand on the pump handle, gas came spewing back out at me. About 1 - 2 gallons came out. I ended up getting gas all over my shoes and the bottom of my pants, and all over the side of my vehicle and the tire.
When i fuel up my 2005 jeep liberty there is no auto stop for gas fill up. If i try to filltank all the way up the gas will squirt back at me, covering my vehicle, my clothing and my skin, seems very dangerous to drive after covered in gas. Iv only owned the jeep a few months and this has happened many times, im very afraid to "top off" my tank and therefore my mpg is terrible, seems many people also have this issue, why has this not been a recall, seems to be a manufacture problem, with gas prices these days and all the wasted gas due to this problem its also an expensive issue as well as dangerous.

I will sue jeep/ chryslerif any thing happens to my car. I have called scap 3-4 times & was promised by them & also by jeep/chrysler that the parts for this recall would be in by 7/2014.it is august and there is no date in sight.are they violating a nhtsa law by not performing this mandatory recall????if they are please prosecute & get the parts sent to the dealers! i am driving an unsafe vehicle!

Gas tank "burps" out gas all over the side of my car and onto the ground as soon as the gas pump clicks off. Has landed on my feet a few times. It's dangerous and there should be a recall. I've seen so many people with the same issues. Not acceptable. It's a safety issue and it's happening to thousands of jeep drivers.

I have a 2005 jeep liberty that every time i fill the gas tank up it does not shut the gas nozzle off and always back flows out and runs down the side of my jeep.
The car does not shut off fueling when the gas tank is full, causing a large amount of gas to spew out of the car when filling gas every time.causes gasoline to go everywhere, is a fire hazard. (it is not just a little bit of gas, the car is turned off, at the gas pump and at the gas station.)

I own a 2005 jeep liberty that has been recalled due to the fuel tank has a chance of experiencing a fuel leak during certain types of rear end collisions. I have returned the vehicle to the dealer and was told that chrysler does not have to make the repairs due to the car having a reconstructed title. I am checking with your agency to find out if that is the truth. I have had recall work done in the past without this issue arising.

The vehicle was being filled with fuel from a standard fuel pump equipped with an automatic shutoff sensor. When the fuel tank became full, the sensor was not triggered, resulting in fuel spraying from the fuel tank, covering the side panel of the vehicle, the ground, as well as the person fueling the vehicle. This issue has been recurring 100% of the time when the vehicle is filled using an automatic shutoff pump. Different gas stations have been used with the same results. This is obviously a safety hazard considering that the person filling the tank and the car are becoming soaked in fuel, and an environmental issue due to the amount of fuel being spilled onto the ground.
While filling up the gas tank, the pump automatic shut off is triggered several times before the tank is full and as a result, gas ends up spewing back out of the tank runs down the side of the vehicle to the ground creating a potential fire hazard.it seems like the gas tank is unable to vent the air out quickly enough so the gas comes back out of the tank fill tube.
Every time i fill the gas tank, if i leave the gas pump auto fill lever on then gas will spew out instead of the gas lever stopping. At first, i thought it was the lever malfunctioning, but after having the same problem recur at different gas stations and pumps, i knew it was my vehicle. I have not had it inspected but have found a similar problem exists with others owning the same vehicle model. This is obviously not safe when gas pours out onto the vehicle, ground, and operator, as well as a malfunction that costs extra money. I have learned not to pump a full tank of gas into the tank and thus avoid the problem, but i am concerned this problem could cause decreased gas mileage or other issues within the fueling system.

I have had to replace the fuel pump twice. The first time was in 2006 at around 27,000 miles. I was on the highway doing 55 when it went out may 10, 2014. I had about 101,900 miles this time.i also have problems with the fuel spilling out of the tank when fueling up. I never reported this because i didn't realize this was a common jeep problem.
Every time i go to fill my jeep up, the gas tank over flows. It shuts off after a second or two, but there is a significant amount of gas that goes on the floor, and all over my car!
I have had numerous issues with this vehicle.i have had to replace the cooling fan, three window motors, the alternator, head gaskets, the fuel pump sensor is broken, the oil sensor is broken, when i pump gas itspills out, the radiator, the electrical system on both the left and right side.the tail lights don't work properly and i have replaced both the lights and fuses as well as the sockets numerous times.these are just the things i can think of off the top of my head.i've spent thousands of dollars, literally, on this car.i feel like it's a death trap waiting to happen and can't wait until i am able to purchase something else, it won't be a jeep product. Jeep doesn't care if you have numerous issues with their product.when i first started having issues i called the dealership i purchased from to talk to my salesman and i was asked what my mileage was.i was right around 48,000 miles,i was put off numerous times and told he would be who i would need to deal with.after i hit the 50,000 mark they informed me he had been murdered and i was not out of warranty.each passing day seems to bring new problems with this vehicle. I just thought someone should finally know.i'm also not counting the recalls in on my list of issues.

I am writing in regards to the recall that was done about the gas tank/ trailer hitch recall.as of this date i have heard nothing since chrysler sent me a letter stating that "the dealership would be in touch"!i sent them a copy of my receipt for the hitch i had installed and it stated it met federal guidelines. It seems that they received to many receipts and that at $300. A vehicle it was going to hurt! i see no need to take my vehicle into a dealership when i provided prove that my hitch was properly installed and met federal guidelines.i'd like to hear from you on this matter as chrysler wants to drag this out as long as they can!thank you[xxx][xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

Gasoline spills out of jeep when being filled. The gas handle stops automatically and then gas pours out. I have to have the attendant pour the litter on the spill. Often times it gets on me. This happens overtime i fill up regardless of what station! i am upset to see that this is a problem for many other owners. This should've a recall.

While dispensing fuel into the vehicle at a filling station the fuel gushes from the fill port prior to the tank being full. The fuel continues to come out for a few second after the fuel dispensing is stopped. This is completely un safe, wasteful and creates an emissions issue at every fill up.

Upon normally fueling vehicle, gas will expel from fill tube when tank is near full.this causes a serious and potentially dangerous outflow of gasoline onto pump operator, vehicle and pavement.gasoline has already damaged paint finish on vehicle.estimated environmental hazard of 1 pint per fill-up or approximately 100 pints per year.dealer charged $105 to test for condition and it was determined that fuel system spillage is caused by defective filler tube and vapor tube.repair cost estimated at $640 parts and labor.vehicle manufacturer must be responsible for defective vehicle system and not vehicle owner.this is not a maintenance item, nor was it caused by mis-use.this vehicle defect has serious safety and environmental concerns and this condition has been noted, campaigned and recalled previously on many other chrysler vehicles.request that vehicle oem pay to replace defective parts to avoid any further contamination to the environment, avoid further vehicle damage and eliminate on-going risks to persons.
Gasoline spills out of the vehicle's fuel filler neck upon completion of a full tank refilling.initially, this seemed to occur intermittently without regard to gas station or particular fuel pump.now at 114,000 miles, this happens at every fill up.
I have a 2005 jeep liberty that every time i fill the gas tank up it does not shut the gas nozzle off and always back flows out and runs down the side of my jeep.
Every time my wife or i fill up the gas tank, gas sprays everywhere as the auto-shut-off does not work. The gas tank over-fills every single time and gas spews everywhere, getting on me, down the side of my jeep, and all over the ground. This is a major hazard and could ultimately end up in an explosion. To act as additional support, the fact that gas sprays everywhere is against the law that can be found on the stickers at every gas station gas pump for how to "operate" the gas pump and how to "fill-up" correctly. There needs to be a recall immediately as i know there are many other people who experience this same issue. Also, the only reason why i stated the problem began at 147,000 miles is because that was the mileage on the vehicle when i purchased it used.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty.the contact received notification for nhtsa campaign id number: 13v252000 (fuel system, gasoline, structure). The contact was waiting for 8 months for the vehicle to be serviced under the recall repair but the dealer stated that the part was not available. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact did not experience a failure.
Nhtsa recall number 13v-252.chrysler/jeep has never contacted me in reference to this recall.which seems to be very serious since it appears passengers in my vehicle and myself could be killed due to this defect.another example of jeep not caring about their customers.once they get their money they don't know you.i am the only owner of the vehicle and i have not moved so there is no excuse for not contacting me.i am sure they will lie and say they did.if they had i would have had the work done since it involves life and death.all about the bottom line and not caring about people.
Every time we put gas in our 2005 jeep liberty the pump doesn't stop and gas overflows onto the ground and onto the paint.this seems to be a common problem, is there a recall or something that can be done?
The contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 13v25200 (structure, gasoline and fuel propulsion system) and stated that the parts were not available. The dealer was unable to provide a specific date when the parts would become available. The manufacturer was contacted and could not provide an estimated date for when the vehicle would receive the recall repairs. The contact had not experienced a failure.
I have received 3 of the same recall notices (n46 / nhtsa 13v-252) from chrysler dating back to 3/2014. I have followed the notices directions by contacting two of my local dealers to obtain parts and service. Each time i call (usually every 2 weeks), i am told that parts are not available yet and to keep checking back. I believe that this resolution is taking more than a "reasonable amount of time" as it is now almost october. I am trying to be patient, but if this defect was important enough to trigger a recall, it's important enough for chrysler to make these parts available asap. My family's safety is very important to me and i feel like chrysler is abandoning their customers and dealers.
Received notice on n46 recall that hitch was available to install to take care of gas tank issue. Called local dealer lochmandy motors of elkhart indiana to set up date and time. I was told it was a class 2 hitch with a 2" receiver. I said i was removing my old hitch that was getting rusty . He said he had to order part and i will have to make the appointment when it came in. It came in and i made the appointment for install and again questioned the rating and received the same answer. I stopped in 3 days before my appointment to take a look at the hitch and i was shown the hitch and was told it is not meant to be used to tow. I questioned this and was told he knows i tow and and long as i do not try to tow as big as a house like some people do, then i should be fine. I was again told it was a class 2 and we both mentioned we see the 2" receiver. On day of install i called chrysler main office directly to find out the ratings and they said "no" it not meant to be used to tow and it is just structural. She said the dealer knows this and they have a tag they place on the hitch after install stating this and i must sign off on this. At the time i looked at the hitch at the dealer before install he said there is no tag and 1 will placed on it after install. I called lochmandy motors right back and told them to remove it from my jeep. The public and nhtsa are being mislead by chrysler and the dealer and some one is going to get hurt trying to tow with this unit. How many people with disregard the label or have it removed and then the next owner pays the price. Chrysler knows this will happen. I will again have to spend money for an aftermarket part to fix a chrysler fatal death issue.
Every time i put fuel in my liberty, gas sprays everywhere.it does this every time i start fueling.it also does it when the tank is full.i lose a least 1/2 gallon every time i fill up.the dealership says nothing is wrong with it.if there's nothing wrong, how do i get covered in gas every time i put fuel in?it's very frustrating.i did get a recall n46 for the fuel tank, but their way of fixing it, is to put on a trailer hitch.that does nothing to fix the overflow issue.

The automatic shut off for the gas tank stopped working and has not worked for 6 months.when i refill the gas tank - no matter which service station i fill it up at - it overflows, spilling onto the jeep, my clothes, my shoes, etc.i try to guess when to stop filling it and sometime i guess correctly...sometimes not.this is a serious safety issue - googlingit reveals it is happening to many, many jeep liberty 2005 and 2006 owners but chrysler won't do anything about it.

Safety recall on vehicle, received notice to repair, made appointment with ellis jeep, canoga park, ca.when i arrived at ellis jeep they did not have the part required and made many excuses excluding why they did not notify by phone they did not have the part and to reschedule.i took my ride away and returned home.i then called van nuys jeep and told them the problem, the service manager was very kind and asked if i could bring the jeep to them and he would squeeze it in that day.i drove over to that dealership and themanager found a way to deal with the repair within two hours.praise is deserved by van nuys jeep and disgrace upon ellis jeep.

When filling the gas tank, the automatic pump shutoff does not work causing the gasoline to shoot out and all over the car and myself.this does not happen at just one gas station, but at all of them and has occurred repeatedly since buying the car last august.
I recently purchased a 2005 jeep liberty and have found that it does not stop when full when i add gas. I've had to refill the car about 5 times since i've had the vehicle and it overflows every single time, splashing on the ground and onto me, creating dangerous puddles and a fire hazard to everyone around. It doesn't automatically shut off like all other cars do but completely bypasses the safety shut off like it should when its nearing full. I've researched this online and there are hundreds of other jeep owners who have this exact problem but there is no official recall from jeep about it. It not only affects jeep liberty but wranglers and tj and appears to happen from 2003 models and up.
When ever i fuel this vehicle up fuel spills out wither in an automatic shutoff mode (there's a lot that spills like this) or doing it manually as slowly as pump will allow.i am fearful of a fire or explosion during this process.i looked up on line and in some of the jeep forums this seems to a thing the 2005 jeep liberty does.on one of the forums http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f28/2005-liberty-spills-gas-1184293/03-20-2011, 02:08 pm the poster flyordie says "jeep has issued a silent recall on this problem. Just so you all know. ***** and moan enough at the dealership and they will fix it on their dime."whyis it silent?why don't they just issue the recall and save some one or their father or mother or kid fro being killed when its preventable?i chatted with an online rep from jeep a [xxx] and she gave me a complaint number [xxx]: the case number is [xxx] . This was at their live chat room on owner connect (mopar).at https://mopar.custhelp.com/app/mopar/chat_landing/first_name/[xxx]/last_name/broach/email/standho%40sbcglobal.net/request_source/8 i was told that no one would be contacting me from jeep, all complaints are handled internally.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Dt*:the contact stated intermittently, while pulling in or out of the driveway, the vehicle will not respond.if the vehicle is in drive it must be put in reverse then drive to move and vice versa.also, the lights, interior and exterior, flicker on and off.the dealership replaced the multifunction switch and upgraded the software.this has not remedied the problem.there are no codes on the computer or black box and the dealership cannot duplicate either problem.when the vehicle was in revese it did move and then stopped. The consumer stated it felt as though the vehicle was in neutral. Updated 02/21/06.
Head light and interior lights: i have been having a problem with the interior lights coming on and off at random times while driving.this usually happens at night, however it has happened during the day also.last night i was driving approx. 57 miles per hour at 9:30 pm when the head lights flickered twice.after that the lights went out, i slowed down and pulled over to the shoulder of the road and they came on again.i then started driving and they did it again and again.i then put on the fog lights and prayed i make it to work without crashing.i live in the country so when the lights go out it's dark.i do not want to risk my life with this problem.i purchased my jeep liberty new and i've been very happy with it.i use my vehicle to go to work and i work nights so it's imperative it's safe and in good working order.i'm very concerned and i'm contemplating getting rid of it even though i love it, but my personal safety is #1.....updated 10/20/15
2005jeep liberty shift head button broken (50,000 mi)shift is moved by small force because shift button is stuck in pushed position not coming bck to locking position so it dangerous gearshift change to different position unexpectedly by little force while driving.
The height adjustment on the steering column unlocks and releases often with no warning. I find the lock bar dropped down and fully released. When resetting it is not firmly held in place. It is a real challenge to control a steering wheel that moves up and down.
The driver side rear window failed and the window and the unlocking mechanism will not operate.when this failure occurs, the window will not raise and the door will not unlock.the replacement parts are the same as the original parts. The rear sided window and locking mechanism (regulator) has failed.the dealership told us that this is a known problem (defect) with these jeep liberties. It is just a matter of time until they fail again.these rear windows are not used very often, so we do not know when the next failure will occur.we have one year left on the extended warranty, but if an improved part is not used for the repairs, it will fail again.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty.while driving 30 mph, the contact discovered that the rear driver's side window would not roll down.he was also unable to unlock the door.the dealer stated that the failure was a common defect in the jeep liberty, and the window failure caused the door lock to fail.the dealer charged $360 for the repair.in december of 2007, the rear driver's side window failed again.in march of 2008, the rear passenger side window failed.a report was filed with the manufacturer and they recommended that the vehicle be returned to the dealer for a diagnosis.instead, the contact took the vehicle to a garage and the mechanic stated that the motor was defective.the failure mileage was 37,000 and current mileage was 59,398. Updated 03-06-09 the dealer replaced the regulator. Updated 03/10/09.
Since buying my 2005 jeep liberty new 6 years ago...i have had to replace the mechanism that keeps the windows up eight times.out of that 8 times, jeep has made me pay for 4 of them!obviously a defective part...shame on jeep!

I have a 2005 jeep liberty which was recalled back inseptember 2006 due to lower ball joints. ,my car was serviced back in october,and there was no mention of such recall at the time.now that i received the notice by mail i calledto have it replaced, and i then have to wait 6-8 weeks on a part that was a safety issue and couldcause a death in my family,that problem was supposed to be corrected at that time of service, also the hand brakenever workedthe wayit should since the car was mpurchased took vehicleon several ocassions to dealer,but they kept saying that nothing waswrong with it, very bad customer service,and i'm not the only one saying that, just have to listen to the people waiting on their vehicles while they were being serviced.
2005 jeep liberty sport with concerns about recall on lower ball joint**ccthe consumer was upset that know one at her local dealership mentioned the recall on the lower ball joints, despite the fact she had been there several tires to have her vehicle serviced. The emergency brake did not hold, the dealer adjusted the parking brake.the vehicle would pull to the left, the dealer performed an alignment.
Shift cable failed when we rolled to a stop. Went to put the jeep in park. Would not go. Would not go into reverse. Managed to force it into neutral but that was it. Had to manually push the jeep backwards to try to turn it around to take it to a shop. Key would not come out as a result making battery go dead. Very unsafe because if that shifter cable broke at a higher speed it may or may not have messed the transmission up or allowed us to shut the vehicle off. For instance itwere in drive and could not be shut off what would we do? found out from local jeep dealers that they have to replace several of these a week. My personal mechanic was unable to secure one for several days because they were sold out all in our region. Suspect this is a big problem. No word from jeep on this! mechanic was stunned how poorly made the cable is and was surprised it lasted as long as it did!
Jeep liberty with a 6 speed manual transmission periodically pops out of first gear as you begin to accelerate. There doesn't appear to be a pattern to the problem like how quickly are slowly you accelerate.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty.the contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph, the transmission independently shifted out of four-wheel drive mode without warning. The contact maneuvered to the side of the road as flames ignited from under the hood. The contact exited from the vehicle safely and the fire department extinguished the massive flames.

I have a 2005 jeep liberty sport.major snow storm and trying to get home from work.put the car into 4 wheel drive, shaft brokefrom internal connector and now it is permanently stuck in four wheel drive.4wheel drive is horrible, spun out going 10 miles per hour while going up hill, almost got struck by a truck.after some research i've found that it is widely known among the industry that the jeep liberty has a poorly designed and faulty 4 wheel drive system but jeep refuses to recall to fix the problem.
At approx 8:00 on the morning of 2/16/15 my 2005 jeep liberty, 3.8l v-6 with automatic transmission began to accelerate out of control while braking for a stop sign.the engine was cold, i had just started it and the temperature was in the mid to upper 50s.i was traveling about 27 mph, and began to slow for the stop.at about 10-15 mph, i noticed the car was no longer slowing down.it seemed as though the brakes stopped working.at the same time, the enginebriefly revved on its own.this made the car accelerate.i could not stop at the stop sign and the car accelerated into 50 mph cross traffic.i made a hard right turn to bring the car next to the curb, allowing room for traffic to go by.at the same time, i put the transmission into neutral and that allowed the car to stop.i then put the car into park and revved the engine.it seemed to respond normally at that point (engine would return to idle immediately after taking my foot off the gas).after shifting between part to drive, then reverse, etc. Several times, it still seemed to work normally so i continued to work with no further problems. It seemed as though while coming to a stop, the transmission did not down shift or disengage.as the engine rpms were reduced below idle due to the car slowing, the computer control system tried to bring the engine speed back up, causing it to accelerate.a couple of facts -the car has approx. 159,800 miles on the odometer.i purchased it used a few months ago and have put 13,000 miles on it. When i purchased it i had it examined by a mechanic and had all the hoses, belts, etc. Replaced.i've had the oil changed at about 5,000 mile intervals.i drive with one foot only, i don't use separate feet for the gas and the brake.the floor mat was not moved before or after this incident, and is not close to the gas pedal.check engine light did not come on.
When shifting my jeep from 1st to 2nd it sometimes makes a grinding noise.i brought it to my mechanic today and he took it for a ride.he told me that he thinks it's a little ball inside the transmission that is covered with nylon, and a couple of forks make it move.he is going to try changing my transmission fluid to a synthetic brand in hopes that will slow down the wear on the nylon ball, but eventually i will need a new transmission.i asked him what will happen when the ball finally breaks, and he told me the vehicle will cease to move, rather i am driving it or not.he also told me that this problem is a known problem with jeeps.if this is a known problem with jeeps then why haven't they been recalled and/or fixed?
The check engine light appeared, and i had the code run which stated the problem being the torque clutch converter (tcc) solenoid circuit. Upon researching possible solutions and cost for repair, i noticed many others with this model vehicle had the same problem appear. Since no recalls were available, i had the tcc replaced at the recommendation of my research and the opinion of the local shop who said the problem was not electrical. At this point, the new tcc has been replaced for approximately two months and the check engine light has not reappeared. However, ever since the light originally came on, i have noticed the acceleration and idle have been very strange. While the vehicle does not stall, it does make odd noises when 1) driving at speeds around 1-30 mph, 2) driving at low speeds up an incline, and 3) when moving in reverse initially.
In a clear sunny day i was entering the freeway when i heard a big bang on my lower end front of my jeep liberty. There was nothing in the road that could have damaged it. The road was clear of any debris. After a couple of years taking it in into my jeep dealership they could find nothing wrong with it. Finally not third but forth was a charm when they told me the lower front arms and bushing needed replacing. I have heard from many jeep owners that they have had the same problems i want to know why these parts have not been recalled.

The manual transmission slips out of 1st gear. It's dangerous when trying to make a left turn, or merging into traffic, red lights uphill. It is unsafe for the car to drop out of gear and looses power when it is most important to get out of the way. This transmission issue leads to a lot of 'near misses' from drivers behind who expect to roll forward as normal or flowing traffic who don't expect a car to stop in front of them. Mechanics say this is a known issue for this model. I took the car into the dealership when the problem first started, and while they know of the problem they were not able to fix it under the warranty (which at the time it was still under). In various jeep forums, i've seen other users complain of the same safety issue. At one point there was talk of a class action suit - but nothing happened. There is undoubtedly data around this. Look at how many jeep accidents happen within a few seconds of starting (from a stop sign, light, up-hill, etc). I bet most accidents happen from behind, or from the side (while merging).
After driving my jeep for about 20 minutes it will start going in and out of limp mode then it will downshift hard to 3rd gear and will rev the engine until it is shut off and started again.i am no longer driving it and am debating on whether or not to fix it as i just dumped over $3000.for engine.this car seems to be a walking time bomb
My car had been driving fine when i was on my way to work this morning i felt a pop under the car and then my car lost power and now it won't go into gear.. But it still turns on.

Gas tank would not take fuel. For 177.00 the dealer told me the safty valve was stuck in the fill tube and i needed 1400.00 for a new tank. Only 72,000 miles and all new valves ,2 recalls andnow this.never again.
Front driveshaft is vibrating and in need of replacement.
This liberty crd has had multiple transmission problems under original warranty, engine was detuned to prevent torque converter problems, after warranty i still had problems. On 11/27/ 2012 going to work merging on toll way car lost power. Turned out to be torque converter blew up and destroyed transmission. Even though car has 130,000 miles, transmission in car never had more than 40,000 due to the many times it was removed.

Transmission failed which ruined the transfer case.jeep also recommends installing a transmission cooler.so, why is 2005 not covered? they tell me the parts are over $4,600 not including labor.if it was one year newer it would all be free.explain that to myself and the other owners.'q1: how do i know if i'm covered by the new chrysler lifetime powertrain warranty?'a1: you're covered if you're the first registered vehicle owner ' retail or lease ' in u.s., puerto rico and the virgin islands. This applies to 2009 model year vehicles. As well as 2006, 2007 and 2008 model year vehicles. 'q2: what does the new powertrain limited warranty include?'a2: the chrysler lifetime powertrain warranty covers the cost of all parts and labor needed to repair covered powertrain components ' engine, transmission and drive system ' on most new chrysler, jeep and dodge vehicles.'q3: what powertrain parts and components are covered?'a3: gasoline engine, transmission and drive systems (fwd, awd, rwd or 4wd).'q6: why did chrysler change its warranty coverage?'a6: our confidence level in our vehicles is very high. Our dealers are telling us that our products are the best quality they've seen in a very, very long time ' maybe ever. So, we'd like to take this level of confidence and share it with you, our customers. This new powertrain warranty demonstrates our commitment to you as a chrysler, jeep or dodge customer and the confidence we have in our ability to produce quality, reliable and durable vehicles. We want you to feel that same confidence.is that why you fired the executive dealing with quality?'q15: what does 'lifetime' mean?'a15: lifetime means lifetime.
Two years ago my jeep started making metallic grinding sounds and violently shaking uncontrollably. I looked under my car at the front drive shaft to see it breaking apart from the inside out. I notified chrysler and after a long conversation they agreed to fix it admitting it was a faulty part. Yesterday the noises and shaking came back with the newly replaced front drive shaft. Chrysler admits its a unfair situation but refuses to replace there faulty part once again. This will cause a accident as it will happen unexpectedly. Thank you for taking my complaint.
Key will not come out of ignition while in "park" because the shift button will not retract automatically as designed (shift-interlock system broken).i must manually retract the shift button while in "park" to remove the key.i must also manually retract the shift button while in "drive" so that the shifter cannot accidentally be bumped out of gear by accident.
Was stopped at a red light waiting to turn left. When the stop light turned green i attempted to proceed with the vehicle. Initially when i depressed the accelerator nothing happened. After about 15 seconds thevehicle lurched dramatically forward into opposing traffic. We were very lucky that the oncoming cars were able to swerve to avoid the vehicle.i took it in to a repair facility and the inspection showed that it was a transmission failure.the vehicle has been previously repaired on 5 separate occasions for similar transmission problems. In speaking with the mechanic performing the repair he indicated that chrysler had severe problems with the 42rle transmissions.i'm filing this complaint as i am very concerned that manufacturer has been allowed to produce a vehicle with an inherent defect that creates a severe safety impairment.
When at a stop, i put the car into first gear.a lot of times, not all the time, it will violently pop out of gear.i then put it back in gear, and drive away.i can avoid this by put it in to first gear as i glide to a stop, or by creeping the jeep in 2nd gear and then go back to 1st. This has been going on for a long time now.the pop out of gear sounds and feels like my transmission fell out of the vehicle.i originally thought it was just my car, but after reviewing the blogs, noticed alot of other people having the same issues with their 6 speed manual jeep.
The plastic bushing in the transfer case shifter cable broke and the transfer case could not be shifted (4wd, neutral, 2wd). Ours got stuck in 2wd so we able to drive it. This could happen without warning and apparently often does. This is a problem if the unit gets stuck in neutral the vehicle could not be moved out of the way of oncoming objects or if 4wd is needed it may not be able to be shifted into 4wd. Apparently this same plastic bushing is at both ends of the shifter cable and is used in most other 4wd jeeps. The problem is common enough that at lest one after market company is marketing a redesigned shifter cable that does not use the plastic bushings.
This is for a 2005 jeep liberty. Faulty speedometer. Was replaced 2 times within 2 years. Chrysler tsb indicates replacement of the rear differential fluid every year to resolve the problem. There is a problem with engineering if you have to do this. They will replace the speedometer for ~ $210.00 or change the fluid for $199.00 every year. Consumers are being held hostage for this annual charge for the fluid change as i have had my speedometer changed 2 times already. The maintenance schedule says nothing about this in schedule a. However the dealer refers to schedule b as what they recommend due to this issue. However, the book sites an exclusion in schedule b if your vehicle is used commercially, heavy hauling, snow plowing, of road use, etc. I have as of 08/06/2008 42,722 miles on this, and do to prescribe to the above exclusion.
While driving the vehicle in a busy highway the steering becomes heavy and some fluid splashed on the front windshield and suddenly lost steering and gearing .i forced the vehicle to the shoulder and stepped out of it to check what went wrong. There was no light indicator or overheating. As soon as i stepped out of the car it starts rolling backward, so it lostbraking as well..i was panicking and picturing how many accidents and toll death would have happened on the scene. One moving car had collided with my vehicle while it was rolling backwardand two people got injured. The police have been notified and my jeep got towed as it is not drivable. I have contact chrysler and they return my call and promise to send their engineer to investigate and find out what went wrong without warring and it could have caused a total disaster on 95 north .
The electrical system fails from winter to summer causing miscellaneous information to the computer, the auto can overheat, it can also clear down and open failure of gasoline.the ball joints fail truly.it happened to me in three occasions when i circulated by the city when crossing on a street, while passing a tumble, and on a terrace street.the front brake system breaks causing brake liquid leaks this is caused by the warming of parts and dirt. I saw the stain in the soil when i park in my garage and check.
Front lower ball joint on right side has fell out twice, 8 months apart. Both times the vehicle was in motion, going less the 20 mph. Road conditions were dry, and on on regular paved road. I was driving straight on the road both times. The first time it broke, it cause my wheel to break and flatter my tire, second time it damaged my wheel but didn't not bust through it.motor mounts have broke 2 times as week 1 week after repaired it broke the 2nd time.transmission mount has also broke.
Another issue my jeep liberty renegade has, the vehicle will not go all the way into park position, and allow the ignition to be turned completely to the off position so the key can be removed. I have to push very hard on the gear shifter to get it to go into park, in order to remove the key. This could cause the vehicle not to be completely in the park position, or the vehicle to jump out of park and roll away, which could cause a serious accident, or fatal injury. When i do a search on active recalls for 2005 jeep i berry renegade, it shows one active for this issue, regardingtransmission, and improper park anchor installation, which could cause the vehicle to not be in park and/or come out of park. However, when i search my vehicle vin it doesn't show this recall active per my vin number.
The transmission is defective which in turn ruined the transfer case.i have another defective belt tensioner.last but not least i have two more broken window regulators.just check the internet there are articles all over about broken window regulators.i understand they only recalled 2006 and 2007 what about 2002-2005 which were bad first.on top of that they replace them with the same defective window regulators so they will break again and again.that way the dealers can continue to make money on you.the garage told me that the transmission in my car was used for one year on one model and i believe it because they have tried all over for a transmission and cannot get the right one.they have had three sent in and all three were wrong.this just confirms that the transmission was defective and they stop using it.plus a transmission should last far longer than 120,000 miles.i read all the time that today cars are good for 200,000 miles or more.this does not include the other defective parts on the jeep: belt tensioners, locks, roof rack, window regulators, horn, leaking windshield, rubber on roof rack, rubber on and around doors, upholstery stains even from water, master cylinder, replacing lights way to often as well as fuses, marks in the paint, fuel relay switch, and this list is by no means all inclusive it is just what i can remember off the top of my head.i have contacted chrysler over the years about window regulators and they don't care.your car is never secure when a window will drop without warning.it can occur while drive or even when you are not in the car.only one window in my car gets opened.windows not used break leaving you susceptible to theft and bodily harm.chrysler does not care about the transmission either. It is all greed.after being bailed out twice by the us taxpayers it is time they pay us back by being honest
Vehicle abruptly disengages from 1st gear (6 speed manual transmission).occurs at any speed in first gear and is unpredictable.also has popped out of first gear after shutoff and stationary.no recalls or service bulletins relating to this issue.
To whom it may concern: i have a jeep liberty and i cannot drive it and i cannot get it fixed.it has been out of service for months.it was towed to my local mechanic.he tried to get a transmission several times but they were never the correct one.with the information provided by my mechanic and my research it appears jeep put the wrong transmission in my jeep liberty which explains why i cannot find one to match.jeep used the 42rle transmission from 2003-2013.the 42rle transmission has 4 connectors and a straight cross member.my transmission does not have 4 connectors and it does not have a straight cross member.therein lies the problem jeep put the wrong transmission in my jeep.also, jeep recommends putting a transmission cooler on the vehicle.why wasn't this done when it was first manufactured.the fact that the wrong transmission was used and they did not install a transmission cooler helps to explain why i have transmission problems.to me this is fraud.i did not receive what i paid for.i checked with a jeep dealer and the service manager said the 2005 jeep liberty did not come equipped with a transmission cooler.another jeep dealer provided me with a recommended list of parts to repair the problem sight unseen and it included a transmission cooler that was not installed originally.chrysler is offering a new lifetime powertrain warranty on 2006-2009 models that includes replacing powertrain components: engine, transmission and drive system including parts and labor or they will buy your vehicle back.these vehicles have the same components as the 2005 and for one year difference i receive nothing while others receive lifetime.that seems like discrimination to me.

My girlfriend of 21 years, went into the doctor and when she came out her jeep liberty would start and then stall. She said there was clunking noise from the engine. I get there and call aaa and have it towed to a plus transmission and auto repair in brighton michigan. They said the rocker arm came lose from the adjuster and that should fix the problem. Not so, turns out it was a broken valve seat also that had dropped down into the cylinder causing catastrophic engine failure. We are left with the expense of replacing the engine at a cost to us of $5600.00. This is a known problem with the chrysler 3.7 v6 engine. It happens just after the warranty expires. With todays technology i believe that engine should have had lasted up to 200000 miles. Since we cant afford a new car this is the only way we can go. However, i believe chrysler should help with the expense of this. Never will i buy from chrysler again.
Failure of steering column rod to actuate ignition sense switch caused vehicle no start and driver stranded.rod goes between key cylinder and ignition switch.key can still be turned, but if ignition switch does not actuate engine does not start.there are no dealer serviceable components in steering column.this leads to the entire steering column needing replacement for the failure of a 3mm aluminum cast rod.dealer estimate of $1200 for repair.pictures are available.
2005 jeep liberty, automatic,with 71k miles. Traveling on freeway with cruise control on when sudden loud "thud" followed by forward jerking motion. Disengaged cruise control. Was able to continue to destination. On return, jeep started but will not move in any gear. Towed to repair center. Diagnosis showed that the transmission failed but not due to lack of maintenance or driving habits. Transmission just failed.replacement transmission is on backorder from jeep for two weeks as of this writing. I will write to chrysler as transmission are not to just fail after 71k miles. This is a defect that chrysler needs to acknowledge.
Jeep announced a recall on 2005 jeep liberty's, recall #05v460000. The vehicle is being driven by my daughter who is a student at john's hopkins in baltimore. Due to her work load, i flew from novi to baltimore md, to have the recall service completed and an appoint ment made on 12/9 when the notice was received. I arrived at the dealer , antwerpen and the time assigned and after hour i am informed that the part is not available. I politely asked that when my daughter returns the car to be repaired the next time that they provide her with transportation, since we made an appointment and i flew out to get it done. Granted i was there to help her with other issues, but this was the main reason for the trip. They informed me that this was not possible. I the contacted daimler chrysler (case number 14424386). They called me back several hours later to tell me that they support the decision of the antwerpen jeep in baltimore and will not provide transportation. I understand that recalls happen, but my issue is that if i take time to make an appointment, and then they can not perform the service on a safety recall, daimler chrysler or antwerpen has to assume the liability of providing my daughter transportation while the vehicle is returned for second time.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty.while the vehicle was in the park position, it began to roll in reverse and struck a small tree.the contact was able to drive the vehicle to the dealer.the rear window will need to be replaced and other damages are present.the contact believes that the failure is related to safety recall # 05v460000 (power train: automatic transmission).the current and failure mileages were 10,000.
Dt*:the contact stated intermittently, while pulling in or out of the driveway, the vehicle will not respond.if the vehicle is in drive it must be put in reverse then drive to move and vice versa.also, the lights, interior and exterior, flicker on and off.the dealership replaced the multifunction switch and upgraded the software.this has not remedied the problem.there are no codes on the computer or black box and the dealership cannot duplicate either problem.when the vehicle was in revese it did move and then stopped. The consumer stated it felt as though the vehicle was in neutral. Updated 02/21/06.
Driving along in freeway traffic on the 405 in southern california when there was a horrendous shudder and a sudden loss of power.had to pull over to the shoulder real quick and just narrowly avoided involvement in several accidents.check engine light came on and then the vehicle seemed to drive normally.torque converter and misc. Transmission pieces were replaced by the dealer, but there is still a weird shudder below 60 mph and some occasional loss of power.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty.while driving approximately 55 mph on normal road conditions, a one axle trailer was attached to the vehicle.the vehicle exhibited an extremely low power response.in addition, the fuel mileage was poor.the failure occurred without warning.in 2007, the vehicle was repaired according to nhtsa campaign id number 05v460000 (power train:automatic transmission); however, it has not corrected the issue addressed in the safety defect.the vehicle has not been repaired.the contact stated that the horsepower was reduced after the recall remedy was performed on the vehicle.the failure mileage was 26,000 and the current mileage was unavailable.
We have a 2005 jeep liberty with automatic transmission.we put the transmission into 1st gear manually and it shifts out of 1st and into second gear while going down steep inclines.this creates a serious safety issue for us since we live on a steep incline and drive on snow and ice.the transmission will start out in 1st and then after reaching about 1200 -1600 rpm it will shift automatically into second gear (without movement of the gear shifter) and then shift back down to 1st after 3600 rpm.i have taken it to the dealer, but they claim that they don't have a hill gear.i have went to the chrysler web site and filed a complaint asking for assistance and telling them that this is a serious safety issue, but they fail to respond competently.they continually tell me to go back to the same dealership that told me that jeep doesn't have a hill gear. I insisted that this is a safety issue and that this vehicle is made for four wheeling up and down steep inclines and the transmission can not come out of the gear that will let you safely negotiate the terrain.they responded with they don't have enough information to make an assessment.we are talking about the life of my wife and i here, but they don't care or understand.i have own 4x4 vehicles all my life and none of them have acted like this.the dealership has run their computer diagnostics on the transmission and failed to find anything wrong, but they failed to test drive the vehicle.i believe that this is a problem across the board with the jeep liberty and chrysler is trying to cover it up, by giving bogus answers like we don't have a hill gear and we don't have enough information to make an assessment.
1. Random event, vehicle start after overnight rest (min 8 hrs), cold start driveway. Not affected by ambient temp or season. This has occurred since vehicle was purchased new and randomly happens once per week on the average.2. Vehicle started, either backed from garage or parking lot driveway , placed in drive and drive away initiated until stopped at intersection. Transmission locks up and stalls engine at /or in intersection.since this is random , work around safety measures cannot be predicted to provide safe entry into intersection, hence sometimes we are in the middle of an intersection with a stalled engine.3. Vehicle has been to delivered to dealership purchased from . There has been 4 visits/attempts to repair with no avail. Meeting with dealership resulted in dealership explaining they don't know what to do, nor does the jeep tech rep "john stick rod", and they have no solutions from jeep auburn hills service organization since they claim this is not a problem to their knowledge.we have submitted other internet acknowledgements of this problem to the dealership in order to educate them of the availability of this common problem on jeep liberty crd diesel models.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty diesel.without a cause or warning, and while driving 70 mph, the vehicle slowed down from high to low gear to 35 mph. The last failure was on 02/22/2007.the contact stated that the last 3 times the failure occur the roads were either icy or covered with snow. The manufacturer was aware that the failurewas due to the computer controlled transmission, and although there have been campaigns, the failure continued to exist.the contactconsidered replacing the transmission. The failure wasa safety hazard and a nuisance.therewere related failures listed on the internet.the current and failure mileage was 56,000. The transmssion abruptly shifted into first gear. Updated 03/19/07.
2005 jeep liberty crd4x4 vehicle began shuddering upon acceleration. Would hesitate and bog down when slowed from speed then resuming acceleration. Very unexpectedly. More than one occasion while crossing lanes of traffic. Dealer mis-diagnosed first time, brought back as problem got worse. Dealer diagnosed as failed torque converter and failed fluid pump in automatic transmission.delay on getting repair parts due to common problem with vehicle and transmission.
My 2005 jeep liberty diesel had a catastrophic transmission failure on the drive home from the purchase from the dealer.i bought it used with 18,000 miles and during the drive home i had irregular shifting followed by high engine revs and then a loss of power on the highway with multiple warning lights (almost as if i had lost a gear).after taking it to the dealer the first time, they replaced an internal component in the transmission, i drove it home (approx. 30 mi.) and had the same thing happen.the second time the dealer said that the originally, they did not replace enough of the trans. To fix the problem.i ended up needing a new torque converter and various other internal transmission components.this must have been quite the popular repair because the dealer had my car for 3 1/2 weeks as the part was on chrysler backorder.sometimes the transmission still seems awkward and i get an occasional shudder however, the occurrences vary and it is almost impossible to predict or pinpoint when something strange happens.
2005 jeep liberty crd has intermittent and unpredictable issues with "shuddering" and "bucking" both on the highway and at low speed or stop.the vehicle sometimes dies unexpectedly at intersections, or hesitates when accelerating such as turning from stop at an intersection.the automatic transmission "gear hunts" between 50 and 60 mph, causing the vehicle to shudder and lurch unpredictably.most notably dangerous problem is that of the vehicle dying when the brake is stepped on while approaching an intersection, or dying when pulling away from an intersection.this situation could cause an accident, as the vehicle will stop without the brake being applied.the vehicle has been taken to the dealership 3 times for the same trouble.the hesitation problems seems to disappear for a time, but always return.the transmission shudder and "gear hunting" have never ceased.the dealer has repeatedly suggested that it is "turbo lag" or the "filters need to be replaced."filter replacement has done nothing.
Since new with my 2005 jeep liberty crd (diesel) in sept. 2005 my crd has needed to have numerous technical service bulletins (tsb's) done to attempt to resolve transmission issues. These tsb's are numbered 18-008-06, 21-009-06, 21-007-06 and now a recall number f31 as an emission issue as the previous tsb's caused a situation where by scan tools could not "read" the vehicles computer for emissions testing. There is also tsb 18-023-06 and tsb 18-009-06.symptoms have been stalling and rough shift points for the vehicle.while driving in the blue ridge mountains on windy secondary roads my vehicle twice stalled at 40 mph, one occasion i has a semi behind me that narrowly avoided impacting my vehicle as it suddenly lost speed on a turn due to stalling.the dealer can not replicate the issue.it is fairly obvious after research online that there are known issues with the transmission system of the crd that they have been attempting to prolong the service life of transmission components by use of various "unofficial" recalls known as tsb's., thus total failure of the transmission, torque converter will occur out of warranty.in my situation i could have easily been killed when the vehicle stalled for no apparent reason.i urge you to investigate the situation and jeeps knowledge of transmission problems. It has become unfortunately obvious that jeep is hoping to "band aid" the situation until warranty periods expire in order to save costs. The danger is when these "band aided" components act up or fail the vehicle suddenly and with no warning stops. You i'm sure can see the safety implications.the liberty crd (diesel) was an extremely limited production run for jeep of only some 13,000 vehicles over a 1.5 year period. They no longer produce the vehicle for the us market. I'm sure due to the small production they feel this issue can be "handled" quietly, i fear that somebody will die.
I bought a new 2005 jeep liberty from chrysler. It has less than 30,000 miles on it (warranty is for 36,0000/3years). I have always kept it in good condition, and have done all maintenance (oil changes, tire rotation, etc.) .a few of my oil changes were done at an oil shop, even at the dealer. So, out of the blue (no warning lights, or "strange" sounds previous to this)as soon as i started it, i heard a funny "clanking" sound. Igot in, figured i''dbe cautious, and take it around the block.when i put my foot on the gas, the "clanking" noise increased. So, i parked it and had it towed to the original dealership. First, they looked at and said they weren't sure what the problem was, but would have the engine tech. Look at it. He finally did (after 3 days of hearing nothing) and said that i had a ''bad valve''. Then they called me a day or so later and said that my "engine head" was bad and that the entire engine would have to be replaced. I asked what the cause of this and they said that my oil was sludged up so badly that it knocked the engine apart!not to mention, wouldn''t the first tech. Have noticed something so obvious??? now they are saying they want me to pay the $6,000 to replace the engine even though it is still under warranty! the only way they will cover it, is if i bring all of my oil change receipts in. Well, don't have all of my oil change receipts! nowhere in the warranty book does it state that you must keep all receipts! i've contacted chrysler via email, and they said, "we concur with the dealer...''so now i'm at a stand still and very frustrated! i'm a single mom that has special needs child, and need my car to take him to the dr. Frequently. I don't know what to do. But i do know that i'm angry and feel that this is unfair, dishonest!according to my reseach this "oil sludge" problem seems to be something that chrysler has said to many customers. Particularly with 3.7 engines of 2002-06 jeeps.
My jeep liberty recall e14 has not been fixed. We have time numerous times to schedule the vehicle for the dealership to fix.however, they never have the part for the "transmission cup plug bracket". I even took a day off of work to bring the jeep to the dealership so they can tell me they ran out of parts. This is frustrating due to the fact that the dealer store is being negligent.
Dt: the contactcomplained aboutseveral problems. The first problem occurred when slowing down to 50 mph, the vehicle jerked. The second probleminvolved theegr valve which was replaced.the third problem concernedthe check engine light illuminating. There wasa popping noise in the rear end when reversing. The vehicle was inspected by the dealer, and an oil leak was discovered coming from the return line on the turbo. No repairs have been made. Updated 01/04/06.
- the contact ownsa 2005 jeep liberty.the contacts was concerned that therewere safety recalls on the vehicle, and two in particular on thisvehicle, and she has not received any information stating that therewasa safety recall on thevehicle.the contact stated that on 03/12/2007 she went on the internet and found that there were two safety recalls that applied to thisvehicle.there had been no failures to date.the current mileage was 29,000. Update 05/04/07
The contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty diesel crd. The contact stated that the vehicle caught on fire twice, in june 2011 and again five weeks later, for the same related failure. The contact stated that the fires were caused by the transmission vent that released fluid onto the exhaust pipe. The transmission failed and while driving, caused the fluids to leak and cause a fire under the hood. There were no injuries during either fire. A fire report was filed. The insurance company was contacted and the vehicle was towed to the dealer. The manufacturer was contacted and a complaint was filed. The failure was a reported as a mechanical problem and the vehicle was not repaired. The vin was unavailable.the failure mileage was 45,500 and the current mileage was 46,000.
Constant problems with shifting, acceloration, transmission issues, a/c alternator etc.
Automatic transmission would remain locked as vehicle came to stop, similar to a manual transmission if you did not depress the clutch. This would cause the vehicle to continue moving forward until the engine stalled. It is important to note that this vehicle has a diesel engine and it doesn't go down without a fight!
Recall e14 transmission cup plug bracket.
2005 jeep liberty crdlast spring i had shuddering and stalling due to the transmission. The dealer could not find a problemin july at just short of 25,000 miles the torque converter failed.. It was replaced along with a transmission pump, and transmission oil cooler. I am still occasionally getting some transmission shudder and clunking.
Transmission locked up and killed the engine when putting the transmission into drive. Was able to restart the engine after sitting for a couple of minutes, but situation was the jeep was in traffic and created a traffic hazard.
I have had my 2005 jeep liberty in five times for the same problem. In each case there is a severe to very severe acceleration problem. In two cases had to have vehicle towed in because it would not accelerate at all, two times i had to baby the vehicle into dealership only once did i drive it in like an almost normal vehicle. Engine seemed to be running fine in neutral but seemed to be maybe fighting with auto transmission or torque converter to move. Dealership has replaced numerous parts on transmission, egr valve twice, reprogrammed something on torque converter and yet problem is still there on an ongoing basis sometimes slight but always apparent. One time it took me two minutes to get through a stop and go lights, that time dealership said computer said i ran out of fuel even though fuel gage said i still had a quarter of a tank and the week before i had run it to empty and had not run out of fuel. Vehicle currently stutters at about 55-60 mph hour and has consistently gets no more than 22 mpg even though it has a diesel that should get 26 mpg and it is all highway miles. Once when passing a vehicle it started to act up, you never know when it will lose acceleration. This vehicle is unsafe to drive and i have sent in a lemon law request which they acknowledged they received 10 days ago and stated someone from milwaukee office would contact me in the next two days or less but still have not heard from anyone even after i called two days ago asking why i have not heard from milwaukee office.
I have been experiencing unusual drive line vibrations (24-26 mph). The dealerships service manager has acknowledged the presents of this issue although indicated that this is normal and hey cannot do anything for me, therefore refusing to do anything about it. I have driven several vehicles of exact year and type and i did not note the same condition. Other than being an annoyance especially for a new vehicle, its my concern that this may indicate a pending drive line failure that would present a safety concern for my family.
***unsafe condition with 2005 jeep liberty limited crd transmission*****due to failure of transmission to properly lock-up at overdrive at 50-55 mph, the vehicle shudders, and has on several occasions caused the vehicle to stall.this is a very serious condition that is not being addressed by the manufacturer.there are only 11,000 diesel jeep liberties in production, and i think a recall is necessary immediately to prevent serious injury as the 2005 and 2006 models begin to experience an increase in failures.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty.the vehicle was parked in the driveway on a slight incline and the engine was turned off.an hour and a half later, the vehicle rolled backwards into the street.the contact pulled the vehicle back into the driveway.the vehicle has not been inspected by a dealer.the manufacturer stated that the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign id number 05v460000 (power train: automatic transmission).the current and failure mileages were 27,600.

My 2005 jeep liberty crd has a transmission "shudder" and looses power between 55 and 60 mph.this appears to be a common problem with crd owners and jeep has issued several tsb's that consist of computer reflashes that have not corrected the problem.i am to the point where i do not transport my children in this vehicle because it looses power at 55 mph on highway merges and cruising.i am very concerned with the safety, because other crd owners have experienced transmission failure following the "shudder" symptom.jeep only made 11,000 crd's (discontinued in 2006, however still part of their marketing campaign!) and the owners are having a difficult time getting them to respond to several safety problems.the erg valve is another issue.mine has been replaced once, other crd owners have had multiple replacements.my jeep crd totally lost power when the egr valve failed.it was on an interstate traveling 65 mph.luckily i had a clear path to coast to the shoulder.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start after several attempts. The vehicle was then towed to a local mechanic where he was advised that the ignition switch and steering column would need to be replaced. There was no electrical current passing through the starter and the mechanic advised that there were aluminum pieces that fractured in the steering column and caused the failure. The vehicle was not repaired because the parts needed were on backorder. The contact believed that the manufacturer was ignoring the issue which he stated was a severe safety issue. In addition, the contact stated that the transmission was replaced twice since owning the vehicle. The failure mileage was 85,100.the vin was not available.
Dt*:the contact stated the vehicle intermittently stalled without warning while driving various speeds.the check engine light illuminated and the vehicle operated at a reduced speed.the dealer and manufacturer were alerted.a factory representative inspected the vehicle and was unable duplicate the problem.the dealer suspected the combination of the diesel engine and the automatic transmission were the root of the problem.the vehicle is currently awaiting further inspection by the dealer.
2005 jeep liberty diesel with transmission problems due to torque converter.jeep replaced the first one at 28,000 mi and i am replacing the 2nd at 83,000 mi.i am replacing it because between 25 and 45 mph the rpm's constantly vary by 200 to 500 rpm as well as occasionally a shiftingshudder occurs which can cause rupture of the tc and subsequently destruction of the transmission at time of acceleration.i had to do something to avoid being stranded on a hill somewhere.*tw
The contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty diesel engine purchased new april 2005. While attempting to park the vehicle he could smell a burning odor. Upon exiting the vehicle, he noticed smoke coming from both the driver's and passenger's side rear wheels. He then attempted to move the vehicle , but it would not engage into drive mode. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and he was awaiting the diagnosis of the vehicle. He speculated that his failures are identical to the description referenced in recall campaign id number 06v341000 (power train:automatic transmission). No repairs were made to the vehicle to date. The failure and current mileages were under 40,000. The vin was not available.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving 15 mph, the vehicle had difficulties accelerating.the vehicle was taken to the service dealer, who determined it was a transmission problem.the contact attempted to get assistance from the service dealer several times, but the parts were unavailable.
I stopped my 2005 jeep liberty in the driveway of my home and put the car in park removed the key and opened the door. The car started rolling backwards. The dealer has told me that the hole for the park slot in the transfer case was drilled too large, i feel if that happened to my car how many others have a hole too large, a child could be run over. There was no warning whatsoever.
I am the owner of a 2005 jeep liberty with a 2.8 diesel crd engine.chrysler has a mandatory recall requiring some new components on the transmission and a "slight" engine detune.i purchased this vehicle for several reasons; 1.better gas mileage.2.more engine torque for towing and a longer lasting engine.at 31k dollars you would expect it to be good vehicle.it appears to me that chrysler has too small of a transmission on this vehicle and is detuning the engine to spare the transmission.i'm sorry, but i bought a diesel for that very reason:more torque than a gas engine.do i have to expect this recall?it was completed last week, the jeep dealer indicated that my warranty would be void it i did not comply with the terms of the recall>sincerely,tim lett
Took my 2005 jeep liberty in to have them look at a shift shudder.the torque converter was breaking apart.if i had not taken it in who knows where it would have completely failed and what the consequences could have been.
Transmission on my 2005 jeep liberty crd diesel experiences on-going shudder and hard shifting when driving it. Chrysler has issued several tsb's to correct the software issue, but the problem continues. Many other liberty crd diesel owners experienced the same symptom before their transmission completely failed and required full replacement.i am afraid to take the car on long-distance trips from home for fear or being broken down on rural highways or roads and stuck hundreds of miles from home while a jeep dealer takes 2 or 3 weeks to replace my transmission. Chrylser needs to fix this, please help! regarding the incident date, please note i just chose today's date because it has been happening ever since i got the jeep.
Received re-call notice, contacted dealership as instructed in notice and was told they didn't have parts.contacted daimler chrysler at the number provided and they said they could not/would not do anything.now my car is not fixed and the dealership and daimler chrysler are both telling me it is not their job, fault, problem.
I have had several safety related issues with the transmission on my 2005 jeep limited liberty crd.chrysler recently issued a f37 customer satisfaction recall which was supposed to resolve the issue, but only one day after the recall was performed the truck exhibits the same unsafe condition.
1) driving vehicle2)vehicle stalls, engine cuts out, stumbles3) reflashed computer numerous times, torque converter and clutch pack replaced.
Egr failure.tourque converter failure - requred tow and 8 days in service.4 tsbs.
The best way i can describe the problem is: our car has behaved like we've slowly released the clutch on a manual transmission vehicle while the vehicle was stopped.it has an automatic transmission.the car will lurch forward, hard against the brakes, the engine will start straining and finally stall out.fortunately, each time it's done this, we were in our own driveway or a place where there was no danger of causing an accident, or were able to hold the brakes hard enough to keep the vehicle from entering the roadway.it seems to do this when the vehicle has cooled off but not necessarily when it's completely cold.we have not been able to recreate the right set of circumstances for the dealer to see the problem (we are not sure what the right set of circumstances are).since no codes have been set, and it hasn't happened when the dealer drove it, no repair has been made or offered to be made.
2005 jeep liberty crd4x4 vehicle began shuddering upon acceleration. Would hesitate and bog down when slowed from speed then resuming acceleration. Very unexpectedly. More than one occasion while crossing lanes of traffic. Dealer mis-diagnosed first time, brought back as problem got worse. Dealer diagnosed as failed torque converter and failed fluid pump in automatic transmission.delay on getting repair parts due to common problem with vehicle and transmission.
Tc converter and transmission failure on jeep liberty crddiesel when tc fails it can cause you to crash and loose control of the jeep,dcknows there is a problem and does not help the customer and the dealer has had my jeep for 3 weeks and still not fixed yet!
I almost lost my life on a cliffside corner on hwy 1 when my 2005 jeep liberty crd (common rail diesel) torque converter failed causing both rear wheels to lock up at 55 mph. Happened again a couple miles later and then continued to repeat itself as i was attempting to get it to the dealership. It has been at the dealer 5 times to date for the initial problems (stalling at highway speeds and going into limp modes). I knew it was the torque converter preparing to go out because i had researched consumer reportings of similar problems online. The dealership, however, explained that they would only follow chrysler corporate's rules and corporate wasn't allowing them to replace the converter. Instead the dealership replaced transmission solenoid, then transmission control module, then called to tell me it was my aftermarket installation problem (twice). Each time this meant that they sent me out in a "fixed" vehicle that stalled on me and caused me to put emergency hazards on and drive in limp mode in right hand lane or on shoulder.then when the dealership service manager drove it and personally felt what a "safety issue it was", has now looked at the postings and is befuddled why corporate wasn't advising them of this problem. I believe that this is a design defect with these 2005 and 2006 jeep liberty crds and that chrysler is aware of it but doesn't know how to fix it. Chrysler is putting its consumers at grave risk for loss of life. Please keep in mind that (1) chrysler has stopped production of them in the u.s. And maybe we now understand why and (2) only 11,000 were sold in the u.s. I am a lawyer and will exercise lemon law right as this vehicle cannot be repairedbecause it is a design defect. However, all 11,000 of these vehicles will most likely fail and the potential for loss of life and property exists 11,000 times.
Driving vehicle in rush hour traffic when transmission failed, locking wheels in middle of intersection, stalling vehicle.nearly rear-ended due to sudden lock-up of rear wheels and vehicle without warning.vehicle would not move, had to put automatic transmission in 1st gear and floor accelerator pedal to move at barely 1 mph.required 2 minutes to move vehicle out of intersectionand onto roadside to avoid traffic accident.
The 2005 jeep liberty limited crd has had a residual problem of fluctuating of rpm's (shuttering) during idling, creating stalling at stop lights when the brakes are engaged on a cold engine start. At busy intersections when the brakes are engaged, the vehicle will unexpectedly lurch forward and usually cause the engine to die in the middle of traffic. This is a major safety hazard, causing an immediate life-threatening situation. This vehicle has been in the shop five times for the same issue and the problem is still present. Fuel filters, air filters, egr valves and return lines of injectors have been replaced, all to no avail. This urgent issue needs to be addressedimmediately.
My 2005 jeep liberty diesel suddenly and without warning loses power, and will either die or only move at under 10 mph.i have had this happen while driving down the interstate and luckily an accident was avoided.the same problem frequently occurs while in stop and go traffic and is especially concerning when turning left at stop signs and stop lights.i took the vehicle to the dealership and they told me the torque converter and transmission pump needed replacement, but it would be ok to continue to drive the vehicle.i expressed my concerns that continued operation of the vehicle with the problems its exhibited could potentially be unsafe.they told me the parts would be available the next week and it would be fine until then.
When coming to a stop, my torque converter will lock up and stall my engine. This has been reported to the dealer who has replicated the issue and attempted to fix the problem by replacing the torque converter but the issue still exists. It has happened on many occasions (20 or more) for the last month and a half and is very dangerous because i have had the vehicle stall multiple times while in traffic.
12,000 odometer. Transmission began shuttering while we were almost home from a trip with small 7.5 ftpop up camper.took to dealer and the jeep was "worked" on for a full week.i picked it up next week and noticed worse condition before getting out of the parking lot.co-owner of dealership was asked to ride in the jeep and while he was driving it the torque converter locked up and stranded us.thankfully, this didn't happen the previous week when we were 3 states away from home.this is the 3rd time the jeep has been in for repairs since i bought it in february 06.
I'm reporting a 2005 jeep liberty sport crd (4x4 diesel) transmission pump and torque converter failure with only 6000 miles on the odometer.this failure resulted in loss of shifting at 60 mph on the highway with the vehicle in 5th gear.after coming to a stop at a stop light my family was stranded at a desolate intersection in hot south texas.there was great potential for a collision and loss of life when vehicle control and acceleration was lost as well as while pushing the vehicle from travel lanes.the repair took 3 weeks leaving me without my new vehicle.i incurred greater than $1500 in expenses in hotel and travel expenses to retrieve my car from a dealership far from home. To add insult to injury, jeep was and is aware of transmission reliability issues and has issued a tsb "silent recall" but did not notify drivers therefore unnecessarily putting my family at risk.
Drivetrain vibration at certain speeds, unsure if problem caused total failure of automatic transmission.
My 2005 jeep liberty with 44,000 miles has both lower control arms rust out, the right side rear lower control arm has buckled due to this corrosion and nearly cause an accident.the vehicle has not been abused or modified in any way that would cause this premature corrosion.the driveshaft also has sever rust and perhaps there are more parts that i could not see that are exhibit premature corrosion.the vehicle is garage kept and i don't snow plow or off road this vehicle.

I drive 15 minutes to work and it has been happening at least once if not more every day.

My 2005 jeep liberty driver side seat belt randomly unlatches, sometimes up to 3 times in 20 minutes as of this week. The problem began one week in july 2014 out of nowhere. I called chrysler at 1-888-992-1997, spoke with a woman named [xxx], gave her my vin number, and asked if they would replace the seatbelt given the 2002 recall of jeep liberty seat belts due to the same problem. She said they would not. She advised me to fix it on my own, and to save my receipts in case one day jeep does to decide to recall my years seat belts.

Upon further inspection, the contact found that the serpentine belt tensioner had failed.

The manufacturer would provide no assistance. The failure mileage was 27,500 and the current mileage was 28,288.
Driver's seat belt comes unbuckled for no reason. The driver's side seat belt disengages periodically. There seems to be no pattern to the occurrences . It happens while driving and while the vehicle is stationary. I am very diligent in making sure the belt is secure because i am aware of the problem. But, it still disengages without being touched.
Suspension issue. It appears that the front end to be coming loose. Lots of noise such as grinding,etc. I stopped at garage and had them out it on a lift for inspection. The determination was that the front, left and right, upper and lower ball joints are defective. Upon inspection by the mechanic, and by me visually, it appears to be premature wear. Mechanic suspects a product defect, as do i.i checked nhtsa official site for recalls. Multiple recalls for this suspension issue.seat belt driver's side latching mechanism between the seat and console sticks intermittently. Sometimes it takes multiple efforts to disconnect the seal belt so that driver may exit the vehicle. Dealer claims there are no recalls on this item and no warranty. Current mileage on vehicle is 74,400 miles.electrical power window assemblies. All four assemblies have been replaced. During the first year of ownership (bought new in 2005) both left and right front window assemblies were replaced under warranty, since then all four assemblies (front driver and passenger sides, and rear driver side and passenger side have been replaced at the expense of the owner. This is a multiple occurring problem and in my estimation seems to be a product design and manufacturing problem.
My daughter had an accident while driving to school this morning and although she hit head on and the hood buckled her airbags did not deploy nor did her seat belt restrain her.she did not have any severe injury, didn't hit the stirring wheel or her head but she has minor neck pain at the moment and i am taking her to the hospital as a precaution.
This vehicle was purchased new and has less than 140,000 miles. #1-it has corrosion on the outer body panels that is starting to go into the frame. The corrosion has caused numerous cuts, scrapes and damaged clothing as you get in and out of the vehicle. #2- i started smelling antifreeze but you couldn't see any leaks unless it was parked downhill so i took it to the shop for diagnosis. After several test they found it to be the head gasket. #3- i also have issues with the drivers side seat belt staying latched. You can be driving along and it will just release and it takes awhile to get it to latch back. #4-it wouldn't let me select the option to talk about the window regulators that just all of a sudden decide to work by themselves. I've had several people discuss these issues with me and i'd not seen any issues until lately, regardless of how significant anyone thinks these issues are i've worked in the auto industry long enough to know that the maker should stand behind their product regardless of the significance or age of vehicle.
Seat belt complaintafter arriving for an appointment, i was unable to exit my 2005 jeep liberty renegade because the driver's seat belt latch would not release. It took several minutes to get it to do so. Later, when we were shopping, my husband could not get the latch to engage as we attempted to leave. The red push portion of the release latch would not function. The red push portion of the latch was depressed, and it would not disengage for several minutes. We were stuck in the parking lot while we struggled with this issue.either way, this is a dangerous issue. In an emergency, will i become trapped and unable to escape?to be safe, we must be restrained, but it appears this seat belt is not doing its job. My husband took our 2005 jeep liberty renegade to the dealership, and they merely told him these things wear out. Really? my 19-year-old honda's seat belts are still just fine!things like this should never "wear out" on a vehicle. Huge safety issue! to make matters worse, the part will take at least 10 days to arrive, and we will be charged to replace it. This seems very wrong!

We have a 2005 jeep liberty that spontaneously releases the driver side seat belt while driving.it "clicks" into place (fine) and holds tight when you pull on it, but will intermittently unlatch without touching it.it does not exhibit any consistent pattern as to its defective behavior when releasing.just driving under normal circumstances without any pressure on the belt will allow it to come undone.
2005 jeep liberty sport drivers side seat belt randomly becomes unlatched for no particular reason regardless of vehicle being in park or in drive.
Both front seat belts have difficulty locking and they continually unlatched while driving.
Both front seat belts continually unlatch by themselves.also, they are hard to get latched.the vehicle currently has less than 50,000 miles and had only approximately 25,000 when the seat belts first started malfunctioning, so they haven't been used that much.i called the dealership to complain but they said the seat belts will cost $60 each without installation.it's sad that such a prevalent and serious issue such as this isn't currently being recalled.maybe it'll take a few people being seriously injured for jeep (chrysler) to perform this recall...... But then again, they'll probably just say the person simply wasn't wearing their seat belt.

Driver side heated seat got so hot it melted something inside the seatand causing a burn on leather and right side of drivers butt , leaving blisters from the burn. This all happened while driving in the snow storm 2 weeks ago.
On february 1, 2019 around 11:40pm, i was driving with my jeep's seat heater on. Approximately 30 minutes later i smelled something burning. I reached around to feel my coat was extremely hot, so i grabbed a frozen bottle of water from my lunch bag and placed it between me and my seat. Not thinking that my seat was catching fire. When i pulled into a parking lot i noticed a hole in my seat cover. I pulled seat cover off and saw the scorch marks on my seat. Also a burn mark on back of coat. When i got home i checked my back and had a small burn mark.
The heated seat for the driver's side got so hot that it made to burn marks in the lether and smelled of smoke.

I was coming home the day before the holiday.it was a busy day around 4:30 pm.i began heading down the heel and the car just turned off.i was unable to restart, steer, brake or control any aspect of the car.unfortunately when the car stopped, it threw me forward into the dash.fortunately, the gentleman that was in front of me saw me waving and yelling i couldn't stop and risked his life by pulling in front of the oncoming traffic to allow my car to continue soaring down the hill.once i reached the bottom of the hill, my vehicle came to rest between two lanes of a four lane road.mind you this road has hills coming from both ways.fortunately again, a tow truck driver came along and stopped traffic until he could safely tow me into my driveway (free of charge).when i tried starting the vehicle again it ran like it was about to blow up and rattled something terrible.i contacted chevrolet and they explained that they had never heard of any such situation regarding my type of vehicle.however, as the stories began spilling into the media, it was like reliving that moment over and over again, but unfortunately for some their situation didn't turn out as well. How long will this major motor company be able to risk human lives just to make a profit.why don't they just admit that they used defective parts to make a big profit and it has now back fired.
Tried to start my jeep with putting car keys in the ignition, nothing happened, so since i have remote car keys i tried them on the outside of the street and car did start.so now i dont know what to do cause now ineed touse my remote car keys.it also makes some noises when you back up the car.
While driving the vehicle in a busy highway the steering becomes heavy and some fluid splashed on the front windshield and suddenly lost steering and gearing .i forced the vehicle to the shoulder and stepped out of it to check what went wrong. There was no light indicator or overheating. As soon as i stepped out of the car it starts rolling backward, so it lostbraking as well..i was panicking and picturing how many accidents and toll death would have happened on the scene. One moving car had collided with my vehicle while it was rolling backwardand two people got injured. The police have been notified and my jeep got towed as it is not drivable. I have contact chrysler and they return my call and promise to send their engineer to investigate and find out what went wrong without warring and it could have caused a total disaster on 95 north .
The electrical system fails from winter to summer causing miscellaneous information to the computer, the auto can overheat, it can also clear down and open failure of gasoline.the ball joints fail truly.it happened to me in three occasions when i circulated by the city when crossing on a street, while passing a tumble, and on a terrace street.the front brake system breaks causing brake liquid leaks this is caused by the warming of parts and dirt. I saw the stain in the soil when i park in my garage and check.

When breaking on anything other than drive pavement all four tires lock up. I have gone through numerous intersections and stop signs and been lucky enough tonot hit anyone. I now have to approach stop signs and lights that have any incline by pumping my breaks and coming to a crawl. This never happened with my 2003 and it didnt happen when i first bought the jeep. Since i live in maine where winters are bad it is very troubling and stressful.
When driving over metal platesor small patches of ice front wheels lock and make steering impossible if brakes are being applied. This is happening at very low speed. I bought this jeep used.
This is a safety complaint on a 2005 jeep liberty complaint for the 3 recalls. Ball joints, trailer hitch and control arms. On this day i brought my vehicle to transitowne in williamsville, ny for the recalls, i never received the ball joint recall previously. My vehicle was safe, no noise, no problems and was currently in mint condition mechanically and otherwise. I dropped it off thursday night 5/7/2015 to be worked on 7/8/2015.they called the morning of 7/8/2015 to say the vehicle was complete. As i drove home the wheel shakes and front end makes noise while braking and sounds loose. I immediately returned it, they were rude and after my obvious frustration finally decided to take a test drive.when sal, the service coordinator came back and actually admitted (with a witness) i was one in a million that received bad ball joints but that they don't have any more i would have to wait. I explained when braking something is rubbing, steering is shaky and makes a clunk noise from ball joints. They let me drive away with a vehicle that is unsafe. Loose ball joints with any play in them can result in an accident. They offered no rental, no help and ignore me.i have my own business (sole) and cannot drive it, i don't trust it and it cannot be driven to kayaking. My entire weekend was ruined not to mention i cannot drive a noisy, dangerous vehicle. They did not replace the trailer hitch even though it's 10 years old (i put it on myself) did not come with the jeep, and it's welds are rusty and brittle, they did not care about that either. Chrysler case # 26946712.i feel like nobody cares about my problem, it can't be legal for a dealership to send drivers home with vehicles that have loose ball joints and tell them it's safe, they have no idea where i go and drive with my vehicle, it's construction season and one pothole on the thruway could kill me.
While driving approximately 45 mph vehicle's primary brake system failed. The vehicle was able to be stopped using the emergency brake. Inspecting the brake system it was identified that the front driver side brake line had corroded.
It's rusting under my jeep, the brakes and brake lines are rusting at an alarming rate and the undercarriage is rusting fast. I was driving when my rusty brake line broke. .ii am still paying for this jeep. And i heard of the gas tank having problems.
Vehicle was rolling backwards when brake was applied while sitting on a hill at a stop sign. Jeep would not move forward when gas was applied it tried to roll backwards as if it were a manual transmission.
The brakes on my 2005 jeep liberty failed in a mall parking lot and caused an accident.only 1-1/2 months earlier i had rear brakes replaced at the suggestion of the dealership (mileage was 25,000 miles).the dealership near the accident site said there was nothing wrong.i took it back to the original dealership where i purchased the vehicle (twice), and they said they checked everything and could find no problem.the brakes failed twice since the accident; fortunately there were no vehicles or pedestrians around.there are times when braking that it feels like the brakes are slipping.i am afraid to drive the vehicle.contacted jeep complaint line and there is nothing they will do because i have no physical evidence there is a problem.i stopped at the dealership a third time, and the service manager said it could be an intermittent problem and unless they are driving it at the time of the incident, they cannot help me.consequently, there was $3,300 damage done to my jeep and i am not sure of the damage to the other vehicle. I had to pay $500 deductible, $100 for a rental, and my insurance rates will surely rise.
2005 jeep liberty exhibits a loud clunking noise in the rear end of the vehicle when backing up after sitting overnight when the outdoor temperature is below 50 degrees f.once the vehicle is driven a short distance, the noise disappears.this noise first appeared to be the rear axle but after owner hung out the rear of the vehicle while another person was driving it backwards, it is coming from the rear brakes and discs.have taken this vehicle into jeep 3 times to have this corrected.the first time they didn't even look for the problem since they did not hear it.the second time, they heard it but could not find it.the third time, they were directed to the rear brakes by the owner and they still could not find the problem.the problem still exists.the jeep dealership appears to not know these vehicles very well.since this is in texas, will have to wait for colder fall temps and owner will likely have to fix since dealership is confused.

On sunday, march 6, 2011, my 2005 jeep liberty experienced a tire blowout that was associated to a jeep confirmed faulty rear set of brake calipers and rotors. I have taken my car in on four previous occasions regarding a "loud scraping and grinding" noise from the rear tires and a burning odor. On all occasions, the car was taken to a chrysler, dodge, jeep dealership and was informed that there was no issue. After the incident on march 11th that drove me off the road and in to a ditch, i contacted the jeep corporate offices. My case was escalated to a special investigations team who dispatched a field engineer from jeep. The engineer assessed the jeep on that friday and took photos for corporate. After ~5 days, i received a call from the legal department at jeep corporate who informed me that, indeed, the issue that i have been attesting for the past four months was a critical issue and did involve brake calipers and rotors that were fused together and could lead to a "fire and possibly and accident" after a rude conversation with the agent who indicated that i "was pissy", the legal department indicated that in order to receive repairs, i would need to remove any liability form jeep by verbally authorizing the repair. They would not provide any written documentation regarding the case. Since then, jeep has held my vehicle and will not provide any updates. The dealership that has my vehicle and all supporting areas are bound to confidentiality to the legal department and i have been without a car for 8 days. Most intriguingly, i have a service contract that covers this issue and jeep refuses to repair the issue, indicating that this is a legal issue and a member of their team "will return my call" which i hear every day. From this, i have determined that this is a larger issue that jeep refuses to acknowledge and leaves me no recourse than to explore other avenues to get my car back (repaired) and to follow-through on their contractual obligations for a safe car.
2005 jeep liberty ltd , was having brake problems. It was shimmying etc, when i put on brakes and at times the pedal went to the floor. I was involved in an accident when my jeep would not stop when i put on brakes. I rearended someone. I had a mechanic check this out before accident and could not find anything wrong. I have owned 3 jeeps in my life time and never had problems. I have a $3000 repair to my car because of brake failure, plus the airbags did not come out. I expect someone to contact me immediately.
I was driving down my 3/10 mile private road, approximately a 12% grade withbrake pedal engaged when suddenly the pedal went to the floor and the steering wheel locked. The car went 150' & down a 12' embankment head first onto a gravel drive and landed upside down. I was conscious at all times and crawled out the passenger side window. It was an hour before i was found. I had 2 broken legs & cracked 2nd vertebra. I spent 5 months in hospitals & a nursing home with a halo on my head & fixators on my legs. The car was totaled.
While traveling on the highway at approx 55-60 mph, driver depressed brakes to quickly slow down to avoid the car in front which had slowed and was turning. Rear brakes on vehicle locked causing vehicle to screech, tires to smoke and vehicle to spin around in a circle and cross center line on the highway. It was a clean, dry highway at approx 5:45 pm. Fortunately, there were no other vehicles in the area besides the one in front. Had an automobile been behind the vehicle, it would have resulted in a crash.driver was able to drive away from the scene. Abs light came on after the incident, but did not illuminate when vehicle was started the next time about 2 hours later. Abs light was not on prior to the incident. Vehicle has not been operated since it was re-started 2 hours after incident and driven about 6 miles home.
I own a 2005 jeep libertyit has 30000 miles on it ..was driving one day and i heard back brakes squealing ... Every time i put on brakes the squeal got worse ad the brake pedal got lower and lower...called the dealer and they adv me brakes are no longer under warranty after 12000 miles and a diagnostic would cost $59.99 ... I took the car to a midasautomotive shop and they discovered the problem was with the caliper ... It had seized the left rear brake pads and rotorsand a piston in the caliper was completely lockedmaking the brake unable to unlock properly ant that is where the grinding noise was coming from... The caliper was damaged and the caliper as well as the brake pads and rotors were replaced ... (all parts were recovered)the left rear wheelhad rust damage due to the flaking of the brake parts ...when these things were explained to the dealerhe advised that the caliper was covered under warranty but i would have to call chrylser to get a refund... When i called chrylserand spoke w/ kathy (senior staff agent) and steven(floor supervisor) @ 800-521-9922- they refused to believe this problem happened ...saying a chrysler dealer wasthe only ones who would be able to diagnose this type ofproblem properly ... They would need one of their certified tech's to witness this type of problem... I advised them i have all the partsand they refused to do anything or admit there was a problem...(they refused to give a refund because the work was not done ata chrysler dealer)they also advised me to call the dealer because the misunderstanding came from them.,..i am writing you with this complaint because i feel it needs to be known that major brake parts wear out on a suv after 30000 miles and this needs to be investigated...

2005 jeep liberty limited v-6 purchased july 18, 2005, service date aug. 24, 2005, mileage 758 miles. The car has been driven gently under mild conditions since purchase, 10 miles each way to work on surface streets. Brake master cylinder failed. Owner became aware under normal driving conditions. While stopped in traffic, idling and foot on the brake, after 30-60 seconds brake pedal suddenly sinks to the floor. Orange light under brake indicator lights up with the error message "type 43".dealer has car and is replacing brake master cylinder, which was found to be correctly installed but a defective oem part. The dealer has been cooperative so far. There is no excuse for a new car having a malfunction with less than 800 miles on it. The point of a new car is not having to worry. Also gas mileage is substantially under the advertised rate. Sticker says 17 city, 22 highway, average has been 12.5 mpg driving surface streets, 20 miles per day rt.
Dt: the contact complained about abrake problem.since the purchase of the vehicle the brakes have felt spongy. When applying brake pressure the pedal went all the way to the floor.it stop the vehicle,but the pressure had tobe firm enough to press the pedal to the floor.contacted daimler /hrysler, and their technical service representativesaid some jeep liberties had this problem and some did not.they had no idea why this occurred.the dealership replaced the master cylinder free of charge, but the same thing happened again, the pedal must be pressed to the floor.the contact was concerned with the idea of losing brake pressure. Updated 11/29/05.

In a clear sunny day i was entering the freeway when i heard a big bang on my lower end front of my jeep liberty. There was nothing in the road that could have damaged it. The road was clear of any debris. After a couple of years taking it in into my jeep dealership they could find nothing wrong with it. Finally not third but forth was a charm when they told me the lower front arms and bushing needed replacing. I have heard from many jeep owners that they have had the same problems i want to know why these parts have not been recalled.
Failure of steering column rod to actuate ignition sense switch caused vehicle no start and driver stranded.rod goes between key cylinder and ignition switch.key can still be turned, but if ignition switch does not actuate engine does not start.there are no dealer serviceable components in steering column.this leads to the entire steering column needing replacement for the failure of a 3mm aluminum cast rod.dealer estimate of $1200 for repair.pictures are available.
The height adjustment on the steering column unlocks and releases often with no warning. I find the lock bar dropped down and fully released. When resetting it is not firmly held in place. It is a real challenge to control a steering wheel that moves up and down.
Making a left turn onto a major route at 30 mph when all of a sudden the vehicle takes off on it's own and begins to swerve picking up speed while both my feet are off of the pedals.it hits one concrete wall on a bridge and proceeds to cross yellow line picking up more speed before smashing straight into other concrete wall.it's the only thing that stopped this vehicle from continuing on.air bags went off and split expelling strange odor.a jeep dealer commented that either a sensor went or accelerator pedal had stuck.i could not straighten the vehicle out by steering at all.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty. The contact stated that the vehicle could not be started and the steering wheel was locked in place. The vehicle was later towed to the dealer where they advised her that the steering column needed to be replaced due to the ignition rod being fractured. The vehicle was repaired for the steering column. The failure recurred six months later. The manufacturer was contacted and offered no assistance. The failure mileage was unknown. The current mileage was unknown.
This is the second incident on the same vehicle with the right front wheel falling off due to the five studs being sheared off. First incident was @ 104104mi and second at 152212mi. All mileage is highway mileage on the 4x4. No of-road rough treatment.
On a rainy morning on 11/13/2012 while merging onto the interstate my jeep liberty went into a skid and i lost control of the vehicle and hit the roadside barrier.the front and back bumpers were damaged.the problem was not the skid but that the steering wheel locked in place and could not be steered to help control the truck. This had happened at least twice before when the truck went into a skid. My husband had asked our local service dealer about it and he said that this was part of the jeep suspension and was not a defect in the vehicle operation.based on that inquiry,i thought the first time thishappened, that maybe it was just a fluke.however, now i am not so sure.i do not believe that the steering column on a vehicle should locked in place and not allow the vehicle to be controlled.additionally, i have been waiting eight months for my local jeep dealer to get the part for the latest safety recall,l27/nhtsa 12v-085 rear suspension lower control arms.we checked last month and the service department stated that we were still number two on the list and when they got the repair part we would get the repair part.we have been told since may2012 that we were number two on the repair list. I need answers on why my steering wheel does this or i need to get rid of this vehicle because if this happens again i might have very different results than the past two times.
This is a safety complaint on a 2005 jeep liberty complaint for the 3 recalls. Ball joints, trailer hitch and control arms. On this day i brought my vehicle to transitowne in williamsville, ny for the recalls, i never received the ball joint recall previously. My vehicle was safe, no noise, no problems and was currently in mint condition mechanically and otherwise. I dropped it off thursday night 5/7/2015 to be worked on 7/8/2015.they called the morning of 7/8/2015 to say the vehicle was complete. As i drove home the wheel shakes and front end makes noise while braking and sounds loose. I immediately returned it, they were rude and after my obvious frustration finally decided to take a test drive.when sal, the service coordinator came back and actually admitted (with a witness) i was one in a million that received bad ball joints but that they don't have any more i would have to wait. I explained when braking something is rubbing, steering is shaky and makes a clunk noise from ball joints. They let me drive away with a vehicle that is unsafe. Loose ball joints with any play in them can result in an accident. They offered no rental, no help and ignore me.i have my own business (sole) and cannot drive it, i don't trust it and it cannot be driven to kayaking. My entire weekend was ruined not to mention i cannot drive a noisy, dangerous vehicle. They did not replace the trailer hitch even though it's 10 years old (i put it on myself) did not come with the jeep, and it's welds are rusty and brittle, they did not care about that either. Chrysler case # 26946712.i feel like nobody cares about my problem, it can't be legal for a dealership to send drivers home with vehicles that have loose ball joints and tell them it's safe, they have no idea where i go and drive with my vehicle, it's construction season and one pothole on the thruway could kill me.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start after several attempts. The vehicle was then towed to a local mechanic where he was advised that the ignition switch and steering column would need to be replaced. There was no electrical current passing through the starter and the mechanic advised that there were aluminum pieces that fractured in the steering column and caused the failure. The vehicle was not repaired because the parts needed were on backorder. The contact believed that the manufacturer was ignoring the issue which he stated was a severe safety issue. In addition, the contact stated that the transmission was replaced twice since owning the vehicle. The failure mileage was 85,100.the vin was not available.
Drivers side lower ball joint catastrophic failure with no warning signs evident except split boot(s). Separation/break from upper control arm, tie rod and steering assembly at low speed reverse. Nhtsa recall id: 06v288000 (daimler-chrysler notification code: f23) of lower ball joints performed by chrysler authorized dealer/repair station 2007.dealer contacted two (2) weeks prior to incident to coordinate possible re-repair and/or consideration of faulty oem parts used in original recall.
Lower front right ball joint snapped while i was driving. Called jeep and they said it was recalled and replaced. I asked for a location and a service order and the would not give it to me. They keep telling me to take it to the jeep dealer which i cant because it is broke. These ball joints where recalled for breaking. Now for a second time it broke and i cant get any proof that it was ever replaced
Lower ball joint on both sides of vehicle have broken, after they were reported to have been replaced under a previous recall.the break caused damage also to the tires and caused the vehicle to lose control of the steering.vehicle was in motion when the failure occurred
I was coming home the day before the holiday.it was a busy day around 4:30 pm.i began heading down the heel and the car just turned off.i was unable to restart, steer, brake or control any aspect of the car.unfortunately when the car stopped, it threw me forward into the dash.fortunately, the gentleman that was in front of me saw me waving and yelling i couldn't stop and risked his life by pulling in front of the oncoming traffic to allow my car to continue soaring down the hill.once i reached the bottom of the hill, my vehicle came to rest between two lanes of a four lane road.mind you this road has hills coming from both ways.fortunately again, a tow truck driver came along and stopped traffic until he could safely tow me into my driveway (free of charge).when i tried starting the vehicle again it ran like it was about to blow up and rattled something terrible.i contacted chevrolet and they explained that they had never heard of any such situation regarding my type of vehicle.however, as the stories began spilling into the media, it was like reliving that moment over and over again, but unfortunately for some their situation didn't turn out as well. How long will this major motor company be able to risk human lives just to make a profit.why don't they just admit that they used defective parts to make a big profit and it has now back fired.
I cannot control my vehicle while driving on the highway. The steering column seems to be very loose and the jeep shimmies. It seems that when you reach maybe 50 mph the back end seems to pull to the right while you are trying to drive straight. Causing alot of shakingand pulling going on. A very unsteady ride. And noticed when trying to stop at the fast pace the front end wants to go to the left while the back end wants to go to the right. Very scary driving conditions. Took it to the jeep dealer last year and they told me that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle, that jeeps have alot of play in the steering. But when i noticed that when i go over a bump a loud clanking noise happens i decided to look on line to see what the problem could be and i saw that there was a recall on ball joints, so i thought it could be that. I took it into the dealership yesterday and they told me that there was something wrong, described exactly what i was dealing with and told me that they would find out. To my dismay, they said it was my rear lowe control arms that needed to be replaced and would charge me over 600 to fix. Now finding out that others are having the same issue and some have resulted in a wreck. Something needs to be done regarding this issue before someone loses their lives.
2005 jeep liberty power steering hose failed for no apparent reason and this should not be happening !!
The steering column inside where ignition switch is cracked,that what i was told the vehicle has 90000 miles on it but it was in a crash and now the insurance adjuster says it is normal wear. It will not start, and it shorted out the battery.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty. The contact stated that while reversing and making a left turn, the front driverā€™s side ball joint fractured and the lower control arm detached. The steering wheel also shook and jerked while driving approximately 50 mph. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The dealer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that there was a recall repaired in 2006, for the ball joints. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 102,000.
When driving over metal platesor small patches of ice front wheels lock and make steering impossible if brakes are being applied. This is happening at very low speed. I bought this jeep used.
My 2005 jeep liberty 4x4 was serviced on january 11, 2007 at its place of purchase (brown daub chrysler in easton, pa). I had described to my service tech the car was making a loud screeching noise when turning and that the car had pulled to the right off and on (every few days) while i was driving. The mechanic stated that he found a "normal noise" related to an air valve in the power steering, and there were no repairs made to the vehicle.i was operating the jeep liberty on saturday, february 3rd. I had the vehicle in park at a drive-up atm. When i shifted the car back into drive, the front tires grabbed, the car kicked forward and the steering wheel pulled to the right. The jeep rode up over a concrete curb and struck a cement pole, shattering the passenger's side front window, ripping off the door handle, causing a dent and paint damage to the passenger's side of the vehicle. Beyond this problem, the jeep has been serviced for a broad range of mechanical problems at least seven other times since the purchase date (october 2004). The fuel sending unit has been replaced twice, the vehicle has had two recalls, and four months after i purchased the vehicle the sensor wires had "rubbed through completely" on the transmission.right now, the vehicle is at a body shop for repair and inspection. It will then be returned to brown daub for a thorough diagnostic checkup of the power steering and/or steering column. Beyond the steering issue, this is not the first time the car has 'kicked forward' - normally this occurs after stopping on wet roads (at traffic lights)my main concern, again, is the steering issue that contributed to this accident. I believe it needs to be further investigated.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle made loud whining noises. The vehicle had not been diagnosed. The manufacturer was notified but stated there were no recalls for the vin. The contact did extensive research on the internet and determined that the failure was the power steering pump. The contact also stated that the windows in the vehicle randomly open independently. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure and current mileage was 31,000.
My front ball joint and control arm broke why driving down the road
When i turn sharply both left and right the car stops, the wheels are hitting some bar under the vehicle.
Steering part on left side broke off (still in rubber boot) and vehicle veered to the right and rolled over @ 30 mph.
I received a recall notice on my 2005 jeep liberty around the end of march stating that the ball joints could corrode and come apart while the vehicle is being driven causing a crash.my husband and i purchased the vehicle from auto world in big stone gap, virginia.we have called them several times since received the recall notice was received. However the problem still has not been corrected.we called them again about a month ago and was told that daimerler chrysler is not sending them the parts that they need to fix the recalled vehicles and that they are only getting 1 or 2 sets of ball joints per month from them.at that time they told us that we were #12 on their list and we have not heard anything since.i find this totally unacceptable.this is my only means of transportation to and from work so i do not have any choice but to drive it and hope that i do not get killed while doing so.also, it has come to my attention that the initial recall notice appeared in consumer reports magazine in november of 2006.i did not receive a recall notice until march/april of 2007.i can assure them that if any of my family members are injured or killed due to this problem i will own their company.i would appreciated any assistance with this matter.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty. The contact stated while driving 35 mph, the steering wheel would shake with the vehicle wobbling. The contact stated that the vehicle was out of alignment. The contact informed the original owner of the failure, who then took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the ball joint was faulty, but only performed an alignment. The failure recurred. The dealer was made aware of the failure but did not diagnose or repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to file a complaint with the nhtsa. The failure mileage was 98,500.
While driving on a straight road at 35 miles/hour, the 2005 jeep liberty suddenly lost control.the vehicle turned left and then around, and stopped on the opposite lane.it was raining and the road was wet.no hard brake or acceleration before this happened.the steering wheel was locked when the vehicle finally stopped. No injuries.the engine seemed on but the accelerator didn't work.had to turn off the vehicle completely and restart it.then everything started working.couldn't visually see anything wrong from the outside or under the hood.all fluid levels were normal.scared to death.the vehicle had no any issues before.it had always been working fine.it only had ~55k miles on it.
While driving noticed driving wheels sloppy.there is to bolts in front frame connected to steering,when turn wheels one side stays and rest pivots as need to turn steering. On other side bolt and whole bolt and mechanism pivots and makes a grinding noise. Makes a popping sound as well. Have noticed recently that if hit a bump steering get very shaky.
I have a 2005 jeep liberty whose ignition switch just failed. Had it towed and the ignition switchmust be replaced (which is under warranty), but it entails also exchanging the steering column (which, is not under warranty).they are telling me that i have to pay $800.00 to fix this my warranty which is still under effect that components not listed are not covered unless required as a direct result of the failure of a covered component. Having read complaint after complaint with jeep libertiesstarting withyear 2002 to present, it becomes obvious that this is a serious defect and it appears jeep has done nothing to rectify this problem and is coercing people (even under warranty) to pay for this. The parts are not even immediately available.this has not been resolved yet, but i think it is serious to note the incident.thank you
Bushing and body bushing on front of the vehicle, squeak very loudly anytime the vehicle is in motion, or when someone enters or exits the vehicle, the added weight to the vehicle, causes the vehicle to squeak from the front underside of the vehicle, every bump or ruff spot in the road, turning the steering wheel either direction, even the slightest causes very loud squeaking, the squeaking is present with simple rocking of the steering wheel. The steering feels tighter and simple turns require more body muscle use, when the vehicle is both in motion and stationary. The squeaking/rubbing is present, at all times, when even the slightest amount of movement or position changes from driver/passengers inside the vehicle. Feels like the front of the vehicle is about to fall out, or that the friction from the rubbing or pieces in the front/ front suspension, is going to cause something to wear down and break, which could cause control of the vehicle to be lost, and could result in an accident, that could potentially be fatal.when i do a general search for recalls on my particular vehicle make and model, it shows 2 regarding the front suspension, and ball joints, however when i search recalls using my vehicles vin number, it shows '0 unrepaired recalls' but i have never had any recalls repaired on my vehicle, and the recalls that show active, fit the issues going on with my vehicle, and i'm not sure why my 2005 jeep liberty renegade, fits into the vehicles with the recall concerns present and active, but my vehicle doesn't show and one that need to be repaired based on the active recalls.
Vehicle was involved in a crash with a light pole and small tree. Driver was forced to the right side of the road to avoid a head on crash with another vehicle. Two of the front bumper sensors were hit, but the air bags failed to deploy. The drive hit the steering column that had broken off with her sternum, and the passenger hit the windshield. There was a question involving the seat belts not holding either of the individuals in place. The 2005 jeep had several recalls, and many shop bulletins of part failures on file though this one was checked by the dealer and certified as ok...updated 09-18-13 updated
No accident as yet. Purchased vehicle and notice after 1 day that steering control was not acceptable.steering on vehicle has both play and stiction reducing vehicle control and requiring intense concentration to continuously maintain direction.
Purchased 2005 jeep liberty 9/29/05. The tire pressure sensor light was on immediately. Tookvehicle back to dealership and complained that the vehicle pulls badly to the right, especially at 65+ mph. The dealership fixed the tire pressure sensor, but told me the pulling to the right must be due to road conditions. After reading other customer complaints, i doubt it. When driving at highway speeds it is difficult to maintain in lane.if large tractor-trailer trucks pass this will create even more intense struggle to keep vehicle on the road.safety concerns regarding winter snow conditions are a deciding factor on keeping the vehicle.
I purchased this liberty renegade in october of 2006 and have been experiencing problems with it since.the main symptom is that when it is (or has been) raining, there is a very loud humming noise that comes from the area of the wheels, especially when turning one direction or another.i had the recall work done on the lower ball joint and on the material of the brakes (twice) and the same symptom is happening.the reason i bought this vehicle was because i have to drive over snow covered mountains to get to air national guard duty, and i certainly do not feel very safe.i am going to have to take the car back for a 4th time and there are only 18.000 miles on it.
I had turned into the parking lot and the lower ball joint on the passenger side had broke. I had this taken care of by a non jeep dealer due to short on funds to have it done by a jeep dealer, at the time this happened did not know jeep would have covered the cost of the repairs since this issue was a recall issue that had been fix back in 2007. This jeep i had purchased used in dec 2013. I had called jeep corp to check on recalls after i had first purchased. Found things were fixed but was not told there was a 10 year warranty on that work that was done back in 2007 by the previous owner. If i would have know that at the time i had this issue again on july 26 2014 i would have taken it to the jeep dealer, but because i did not have a lot of money i had it fixed by another auto repair service. I would like to be reimbursed for the cost at 534.40 i had to pay in july 2014 for issues with the same that were recalled and fixed back in 2007.i had called today to find out what i could do and was told nothing now since i had it fixed by a non jeep dealer. I really think it should be reimbursed do to the fact i had to have this fixed after it was recall and fixed by a jeep dealer and it still broke. I have the receipt for the repairs that were done july 2014.
Purchased a 2005 jeep liberty in the state of wisconsin, a state that has excessive cold and icy weather, streets are heavily salted.the jeep i purchased has had several recalls, major was the rear end control arm, which the dealership repaired. 2005 jeep liberty also has major electrical problems which causes the engine cooling fan to short out. Having it to be frequently replaced once a year. 2nd major problem is the front right control arm assembly front upper left and right. Along with wheel hub assembly, both corrodes and can cause the steering to brake into, resulting in alost of steering causing a major accident while driving. These major mechanical problems needs should be recalled, so they can be replaced or repaired. I've taken the jeep to different repairs shop and was told the jeeps are known for safety issues including electrical and control arm problems and to check for recalls.
Late night i had stopped at a traffic light and had begun to move when i heard a noise coming from the back end of the jeep.i was then driving at about 30 - 35 mph when the backend started to "slide" out like i was on ice.since there was no ice i pulled over to check it out with a flashlight.i checked the wheels, put the hazard lights on, and since i was pretty close to home i drove between 10 - 15 mph.today i found out the one of the control arms was so rusted that it broke and the other was rusted badly where it was welded.nothing else on the bottom of the jeep looked so rusted and i take good care to get the under body washed often in the winter.the arms looked like they had been sitting in a junk yard for 20 years or so, they were that bad!we called the local jeep dealer to ask about a warranty or even a recall but were informed there was neither.she gave us a number to call at chrysler which we did immediately.we were told the same thing there but they gave us a case number.i did find an article on the internet from sept. 20, 2011 that said there were at least 11 complaints of the same problem and that it was being investigated by nhtsa.i was lucky enough that i wasn't driving on the freeway 70 + mph since i usually leave for arizona this week.since there may be other jeep owners out there unaware that this could happen, i decided to make this complaint.i think that this is excessive rust on a vehicle only 7 years old.even though there was no accident or a death, please take this complaint seriously.i do have some really good pictures of the parts before they were removed from the jeep if you need them.

The contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty. While driving 21 mph, the contact heard an abnormal clunking noise and the steering failed without warning. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer (hill-kelly dodge, chrysler, jeep, ram located at 6171 pensacola blvd pensacola, fl 32505) where it was diagnosed that the lower ball joint and lower suspension needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but did not offer assistance. The failure mileage was 156,623.
This has to do with recall f23 front lower ball joints. By jeeps web site the work was done, but on feb 6th of this year the front end failed just as i left my parking space. A few minutes later i would been on nj 295 traveling at 65 mph. I did not know there was an older recall on this car, i had the work done by an outside shop, see attached bill.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty. While driving at approximately 20 mph, there was an abnormal noise coming from the rear passenger side of the vehicle.

The vehicle was towed to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000.
My jeep is making winding and grinding noises. I thought that it was the ball joints which chrysler eventually agreed to replace since it is considered a repeat recall for them but the noise, vibration and shimmy in the steering has persisted and the service dept. At the dealer informed me that i also need control arms and sway bar links. The service rep told me that it was not considered to be normal wear and tear. I contacted chrysler and the person assigned to my case told me he would get back to me to follow up. Days later when i finally tracked him down in between his breaks and phone calls he told me that the dealer told him that it was just normal wear and tear. I haven't taken my car off road and it hasn't been in the snow or on salty roads. The last time that i tried to reach him i was told that he did not work on wednesdays. Still no response from chrysler from anyone regarding whether or not its a safety concern that they will cover or assist with. I updated my case with the info that i would add to your ongoing investigation if i did not receive an update regarding assistance from them. The jeep is 5 yrs. Old and is still making a horrible noise on the front driver's side and i cannot get a response of any kind from chrysler. I have a power train warranty in effect until the end of november. Please let me know if you can assist with expediting this matter with chrysler since i do not feel safe driving the jeep in this condition. Originally, i was told by my case manager that everything including the control arms and sway bar links would be replaced along with the ball joints butnow i'm being told that it was a miscommunication because its normal wear and tear.

I was driving down my 3/10 mile private road, approximately a 12% grade withbrake pedal engaged when suddenly the pedal went to the floor and the steering wheel locked. The car went 150' & down a 12' embankment head first onto a gravel drive and landed upside down. I was conscious at all times and crawled out the passenger side window. It was an hour before i was found. I had 2 broken legs & cracked 2nd vertebra. I spent 5 months in hospitals & a nursing home with a halo on my head & fixators on my legs. The car was totaled.
Constant grinding, squeaking with movement of steering wheel, was told it was ball joint and arm, also there was a recall about this...happens when driving.....was there a recall regarding this?
I was on my way home from my job early and i had noticed a funny grinding sound when i pulled out of my parking space. I got out, checked around the truck and saw nothing. I then drove home about 7 miles from my house my carhad began going right then left and i was unable to steer it at all.i was fortunate that i was not going fast and i was able to stop and pull into a parking lot. I would have crashed if this had happened minutes before when i was on the interstate.i had my car towed to the nearest garage and learned thattherear suspension control arms had bothcompletely rusted throughand the only thing keeping my jeeps rear end together was a sway bar. The mechanic says he had never seen anything like it. I have contacted chrysler also. I purchased the car in connecticut.
When driving faster than 15 mph, when i would take my foot off the accelerator or brake, the car would swerve violently and randomly to the right or the left even though i was not turning the steering wheel. This is the exact same issue in nhtsa campaign number: 12v085000, but my vehicle was not included in this recall.

According to the fire department, the fire may have started in the steering column. The consumer stated a recall was issued for the previous model and she believed that same issue may have applied to her vehicle as well.
My jeep recently was unable to start the engine. It was fine just the night before with no indication of a problem, but in the morning i turned the key and all i got was a click at the relay; the starter never engaged and the engine would not turn over. After much diagnosis it was discovered the problem was due to the end breaking off of a small metal cylinder which rotates to engage the starter; the cylinder is located on the left underside of the steering column. I was informed by the mechanic that the cylinder, nor the housing containing the cylinder, is sold as a separate part... I was forced to replace the entire steering column assembly to the tune of $300 (the labor was another $200, and a new ignition cylinder an additional $30), to fix this one small part that probably cost about $5 to make. In my research online, i found that this is a common, well-known problem with jeeps, with many people complaining on forums about the same issue. The only action i knew to take was to file a complaint here to hopefully initiate a recall of this part so that it either a) is replaced with a part made of better material so as to stop so many from breaking, and b) stops leaving people stranded with a non-working vehicle with no warning whatsoever.

2005 jeep liberty crd will "sling shot" itself when starting from a stop with the a/c on. When you start to accelerate making a turn from being stopped the vehicle will start to move and you can feel, hear the engine gaining rpm but not movement then a sudden slingshot effect will take place. The selling dealer said it was normal for a diesel engine with a turbo to do this. Also stated it was in the electronics and there wasn't any thing they could do to repair it. I would have to wait for a factory bulletin to come out.this new vehicle pulls to the right constantly, i requested the alignment to be corrected during the same dealership visit as above. I was told my alignment was checked and there was no abnormal tire wear so it must be the crown of the road causing the pull or drift.this vehicle also surges when the cruise control is engaged and you start up an incline, it will continue to surge as long as the incline lasts.after picking the vehicle up at the dealership today i started home and all three of the faults occurred. I returned to the dealership and the shop foreman went with me , where the vehicle again acted up. He said there was not any thing they could do about the surging and the alignment and the sling shotting was turbo lag.i have not diven the vehicle on wet or snow covered pavement, however, with what does i not sure i want to.

Over time, the automatic shutoff on fuel pumps at gas stations began to not shut off until after a significant amount of fuel had spilled out (up to a half gallon). At first, i thought it may be the design of different pumps, so i experimented with different stations. I found that no matter what style pump or station i am at, this continues to occur.i have had to resort to estimating how much gasoline i need based on my gage prior to turning the vehicle off. Another option is to underestimate and never really have a full tank. I have found that severely slowing the pump down toward the end of what i think is the amount of gasoline i need for a full tank will usually (but not always) get the pump to shut off in time prior to overflowing. Although i have gotten better at estimating, there are still times that gasoline overflows. Aside from a fire hazard on the vehicle and on the ground at the pump, the gasoline can cause body damage over time. This has nothing to do with attempting to "top off" the tank after the pump shuts off. There is no top off room with this vehicle. I have had other vehicles that could take an extra gallon or more after the automatic shutoff, but this one does not. After looking at several forums and other online posts, i discovered that there are many other owners who have experienced this problem. I contacted chrysler, left my information with them to be processed, and was told i'd be called back.they called back and left a voicemail saying that they would not be taking any action to fix it and that i could call back if i had any questions. I called back and could not get the agent that worked on my claim to call me back.

Driving on the interstate near fort worth the left rear window just fell down the door.it distracted me and i almost crashed into a guardrail because of the sudden pressure change in the car. I sorta panicked since the baby in the back seat began crying since the window was on her side in the back seat.after contacting several jeep owners, i have found out that this is a common problem with the windows on jeeps and it has already happened to the right side window last year.i used a zip tie to keep the window up.i saw a youtube vidio on how to do this.since the right side window has a zip tie holding it up i no longer use that window.i think that jeep should consider recalling this problem since eventually someone is going to get hurt because of this problem.

The steering got hard and felt like the ball joint on the control arms lock up; the door locks cycle continuously and now driver door, left rear passenger door and back tailgate will not open, horn will not blow, radio will not work, and interior lights won't work. The steering problems happen while driving on highways and when making turns of any kind the slightest movement of the steering wheel will car is moving makes erratic navigation in anything other than a straight path. The door locks cycle on and off while driving and also not moving and without the car being started and is as rest without key inserted in the ignition cylinder. I am fearful for my grand children to ride in the car with me and very concerned of a failure that may jeopardize their safety.

We received the notice about the gas/fuel tank potential to catch fire, we took our vehicle to the dealer. The dealer explained that we have too much corrosion on our vehicle to be repaired. The cost to repair exceeds the value of the vehicle, currently we are still driving with a vehicle that may catch fire. We contacted chrysler as we still are paying off the vehicle, we where given the run around until finally one associate told us simply, they will not help you. Prior to this recall notice we have constantly had issues when filling up with gas and the gas would leak out in large quantities instead of shutting off. We replaced the oil pan recently after it rusted out, we are about to replace to transmission fluid pan as that is about to rust out, the transmission lines are also rusting and corroded. Our jeep may be an 05 but it looks as if its brand new rolling off the line, we take care of our vehicle. We are informed consumers and know there is a recall for chrysler failing to fix the fuel tank explosion issues, when we looked up the vin for our vehicle it was not showing that it is one of the one's being recalled. Our vehicle was not repaired and we should be included in this recall. We want to know if our vehicle will be included in the recall. We still have all the paperwork from visiting the dealer. When we took the vehicle up for the recall, the dealership told us that jeep has issues with rust to begin with and that it is a known issue that has yet to be corrected.

In late 2008 and early 2009 our paint on the top of our vehicle began to peel, we had always had our vehicle in a carport as of now the entire top has peeled off, from what i can tell it is the cleat coat. I had brought this to the attention of a jeep dealership after a recall once.
This vehicle was purchased new and has less than 140,000 miles. #1-it has corrosion on the outer body panels that is starting to go into the frame. The corrosion has caused numerous cuts, scrapes and damaged clothing as you get in and out of the vehicle. #2- i started smelling antifreeze but you couldn't see any leaks unless it was parked downhill so i took it to the shop for diagnosis. After several test they found it to be the head gasket. #3- i also have issues with the drivers side seat belt staying latched. You can be driving along and it will just release and it takes awhile to get it to latch back. #4-it wouldn't let me select the option to talk about the window regulators that just all of a sudden decide to work by themselves. I've had several people discuss these issues with me and i'd not seen any issues until lately, regardless of how significant anyone thinks these issues are i've worked in the auto industry long enough to know that the maker should stand behind their product regardless of the significance or age of vehicle.

As i was pulling into a parking lot i suddenly heard a loud noise and noticed my back wheels acting strange. I thought it was a flat tire so i parked and checked my rear tires. Everything looked fine so i got what i had come for then got back on the road. The noise and difficulty steering were still there though so i pulled over again and looked under the rear tires. The rear control arm on the drivers side has completely rusted through and broken. I couldn't believe a car with less than 70,000 miles on it could have a part completely rust through like that so i checked all the recalls on the liberty model. Not surprisingly there was a recall due to excessive rust on the very part that had completely rusted out on my vehicle. I was never notified of this safety recall though because i don't live in one of the states where the recall was issued. The states where the recall was issued get snow in the winter and salt is usually used to clear the streets. That is why these states were in the recall. I live in nebraska though, a state that gets nearly as much snow as iowa, missouri, and minnesota (three states that were included in the recall) and yet if you live in my state you are not informed of the recall and you do not get the parts replaced. If i had not been pulling into a parking lot at the moment the rear control arm had rusted through and broken the incident could have been much worse. I could have been on the highway or a busy street and easily lost control of my vehicle. Since my state was not included in the recall my safety (and the safety of other drivers) was put at risk and i will now be out $600.
At approximately 0520 a.m. On january 23, 2012 i was traveling north on west virginia route 26 just outside of kingwood, west virginia on my way to work. I was descending a hill around several sharp turns at a rate of speed approximately 30 mph on dry bumpy pavement.without warning i felt a vibration which seemed to originate in the rear of my 2005 jeep liberty. Several seconds later a hard thump was felt underneath the floor boards accompanied by a metal scraping noise.i immediately began applying the brakes to stop the car to investigate but before i could bring the vehicle to a complete halt the rear of the car began to come around toward the front of the suv from the right. Once i got the car completely stopped i put it into park, applied my emergency brake, turned on my hazard lights and then got out to investigate the situation. As i examined the back of the vehicle i noticed that the right rear wheel was out of alignment almost touching the back of the wheel well. I then shined my flashlight underneath of the car and saw the front end of the drive shaft lying on the street. I coasted my car into a nearby driveway to get it off of the street.i had my vehicle towed to the nearest jeep dealership for repair. Diagnosis: right hand rear control arm failure due to excessive erosion/rusting. I had the failed part replaced and as a precaution i had the left hand control arm replaced as well. Both old parts are available for inspection. I purchased my jeep new in wisconsin in 2005 and i moved to west virginia in 2010.
I was traveling 70 mph on the freeway when i very slightly let off the accelerator as i came over a bridge. At that point, part of the jeep wanted to go straight and the other part wanted to go off the road.it truly felt like the jeep was going to roll.i slowed down and managed to keep it going straight until i could safely pull off the freeway.had it towed to my dealer who informed me that the left rear lateral arm connecting axle to the frame rusted through and became disconnected.they also said that the right lateral arm is close to rusting though as well.although the lateral arms were on backorder from chrysler, the dealer managed to find one from another dealer and replaced the left arm.we agreed to order the right lateral arm and replace it before it too becomes disconnected.

Failure on driver rear trail arm.trail arm fractured when i took off from a stop.this appears to be the same issue jeep issued a recall on (#l27), in march 05, 2012, for jeep liberty my 2004 - 2007.contacted jeep recall hotline and they refused to honor the recall since my jeep was bought in kentucky.recall is only valid for jeeps sold in states north of kentucky.according to recall fracture is linked to the excessive corrosion due to the application of road salts during winter weather conditions.northern kentucky (where i live) has the same weather as southern indiana.indiana is covered and kentucky is not.
Here is the problem, will not schedule an appointment for the replacement rear lower control arms. This is a follow up complaint to the one i filed on 4-18-18, id# 11120806.on 1-4-19 i received a call from debbie of specialty parts about the original complaint. Different from the first representative not knowing why the dealer wanted a inspection before ordering the control arms, debbie stated that was a corporate decision. (you would think that having dealt with this recall in one form or another over the past seven years they could get this straight.) her reasoning was that fca had to inspect my vehicle and replace required parts before they could put on the new lower control arms. I asked what parts required inspection and she said my shocks .i told her those don't attach to the contro[ arm she then said that they would have to check my control arms and check the vin to verify i had not gone to a junk yard and replaced them myself. I asked her if she knew what the control arms were and she stated she was not a tech. She also told me that they do not tell their customers all they have to do to a vehicle in a recall. Nhtsa, i would think if they state that they do not tell all that they do, they may not have told you all the issues either. There is no other way to interpretthis conversation other than, "we need to inspect your vehicle and replace parts at your expense to minimize damage to our bottom line." i asked to speak to her supervisor anddebbie state she did not have one, no one above her. I ended the call.i have received the second recall card. Again it states to schedule your free repair. They will not do it. All i want from fcais what they stated they would do. Replace bothrear lower control arms. Stop playing games.
I have a jeep liberty 2005 sport they have a recall about the corrosion on my car and they don't want to to fix it. I am really scared on driving like that.

Right rear lower control arm rotted out and fractured.vehicle becomes almost impossible to control.upon inspection, the left lower control arm was so thin a screwdriver could be pushed through the metal with little effort.the control arm was visibly sound to naked eye but rotted from inside out.
Rear control arms rusted and one broke completely in two sending me into the oncoming lane.luckily i was on a city street with a low mph and i was traveling straight when it broke.chrysler tells me there is a recall but my vehicle is not from one of the states affected by the recall.

While driving to my workplace, i noticed my jeep swaying on the road, which i first attributed to icy road conditions.however, when i stopped the vehicle i saw that my rear control arms were severely rusted, with the left rear arm almost sheared through with rust.i was able to nurse the jeep liberty two miles to a safe parking place with my flashers on and driving about 10 mph. Thankfully i was on back country roads and not driving at higher speeds! who knows what might have occurred if i had been driving at highway speeds? hopefully, i can be compensated by chrysler corporation for the cost of my repairs and towing.i find it unfathomable that such critical components would rust through on a vehicle with 70,000 miles.
I was driving home after picking up my kids from school and noticed that my back end was swaying slightly.i thought it might be from a wet road surface but then noticed a crack and groan when i drove up my curb on to my driveway.i got out and looked under the vehicle and noticed that my passenger side lower control arm was completely rusted through and my rear axle was slightly skewed with the passenger tire slid forward in the wheel well.i noticed that chrysler had a recall for this very problem (safety recall l27/nhtsa 12v-085 rear suspension lower control arms) but mine was not covered because i don't live in a 'salt belt' state.i live in omaha, ne and our roads are salted every winter.i believe this is directly associated with the previous recall and would like chrysler to replace my lower control arms.

While driving approximately 30-35 mph down road, weather conditions dry, sunny, temperature 55 degrees.heard something snap/break, lost control of car, swerved into oncoming lane.pulled into parking lot and noticed something broke on rear passenger side of car.called local car dealer, car was towed and right rear control arm was broken.argued with dealer because it was very noticeable that it was rusted right through.had nys inspection done on september 15, 2011 and was never told that something was wrong.after having it repaired, dealer never notified me that the driver side was also rusted.took it to a repair shop the following week and also had that one replaced.i told both repair facilities that i wanted the faulty parts back.after researching for information, realized there is a nhtsa action number of ea11013 that is exactly the same thing that happened to me.i do have pictures of the parts - both the broken one and the one i had replaced if you would like them.
My rear lower control arm has erosion from excessive salt, to where it is broken almost in half, and there is already a recall for this l27 how ever this is state specific and kansas isn't included in this. I am not sure why kansas is not included in this recall when we have snow and the roads are salted just as much as some of the other states included in the recall. I have taken it to a dealership for diagnosis and was told that they have repaired this on cars under the recall and what has happened to my car is exactly what has happened to cars they have repaired. For this not to be included is ridiculous and a safety hazardous, and could cause an accident while driving if this was to break completely.
I had just pulled off of the highway and had stopped.i pulled on to the city street when i heard a noise.i at first thought i had a flat tire.and when i was trying to pull off to a side street my jeep had started to slide sideway into the other lane.i could not control the jeep.i felt like i was sliding on something.thank goodness no one was next to me or coming in the other lane or i would have caused an accident.i got my jeep stopped and then made my way back into the other lane and turned down a side street to get out of the way.when i got out i looked on the passenger side looking for a flat.but no flat.i could see that the rear tire was slide back close to the under side of the wheel well.i could see that something had broke.i called my husband and when he got there and looked under he could see that the rear trailing arms had both broke.that they were rusted through.we had to have the jeep towed to a dealer that was close by.they had verified that they had rusted through.in all the years that i have been driving i have never had this happen to me before.i was just very thankful that i had gotten off the highway before this broke.i know that if this would have happened at a much higher speed i could have cause a terrible wreck.i can not believe after seeing all of these complaint for the exact same thing that there has not been a recall.how can a manufacturer of cars let something like this continue.the day this happened was a clear dry day.to have this happen i could have seriously hurt myself or some other people. What are they waiting for.some one to be killed.
When driving faster than 15 mph, when i would take my foot off the accelerator or brake, the car would swerve violently and randomly to the right or the left even though i was not turning the steering wheel. This is the exact same issue in nhtsa campaign number: 12v085000, but my vehicle was not included in this recall.

Now for a second time it broke and i cant get any proof that it was ever replaced

Read stabilizer bar rusted in two while driving. Rear end shifted to one side making driving impossible. If this happened at a faster speed it might have created a wreck. There are recalls for this problem but my jeep based on the vin number, is not apart of the recall.
The rear control arm of our 2005 jeep liberty corroded and broke in half while i was driving in a parking lot going about 10 miles per hour.
Front lower ball joint on right side has fell out twice, 8 months apart. Both times the vehicle was in motion, going less the 20 mph. Road conditions were dry, and on on regular paved road. I was driving straight on the road both times. The first time it broke, it cause my wheel to break and flatter my tire, second time it damaged my wheel but didn't not bust through it.motor mounts have broke 2 times as week 1 week after repaired it broke the 2nd time.transmission mount has also broke.
My jeep is making winding and grinding noises. I thought that it was the ball joints which chrysler eventually agreed to replace since it is considered a repeat recall for them but the noise, vibration and shimmy in the steering has persisted and the service dept. At the dealer informed me that i also need control arms and sway bar links. The service rep told me that it was not considered to be normal wear and tear. I contacted chrysler and the person assigned to my case told me he would get back to me to follow up. Days later when i finally tracked him down in between his breaks and phone calls he told me that the dealer told him that it was just normal wear and tear. I haven't taken my car off road and it hasn't been in the snow or on salty roads. The last time that i tried to reach him i was told that he did not work on wednesdays. Still no response from chrysler from anyone regarding whether or not its a safety concern that they will cover or assist with.

Old and is still making a horrible noise on the front driver's side and i cannot get a response of any kind from chrysler. I have a power train warranty in effect until the end of november. Please let me know if you can assist with expediting this matter with chrysler since i do not feel safe driving the jeep in this condition. Originally, i was told by my case manager that everything including the control arms and sway bar links would be replaced along with the ball joints butnow i'm being told that it was a miscommunication because its normal wear and tear.

Suspension issue. It appears that the front end to be coming loose. Lots of noise such as grinding,etc. I stopped at garage and had them out it on a lift for inspection. The determination was that the front, left and right, upper and lower ball joints are defective. Upon inspection by the mechanic, and by me visually, it appears to be premature wear. Mechanic suspects a product defect, as do i.i checked nhtsa official site for recalls. Multiple recalls for this suspension issue.seat belt driver's side latching mechanism between the seat and console sticks intermittently. Sometimes it takes multiple efforts to disconnect the seal belt so that driver may exit the vehicle. Dealer claims there are no recalls on this item and no warranty. Current mileage on vehicle is 74,400 miles.electrical power window assemblies. All four assemblies have been replaced. During the first year of ownership (bought new in 2005) both left and right front window assemblies were replaced under warranty, since then all four assemblies (front driver and passenger sides, and rear driver side and passenger side have been replaced at the expense of the owner. This is a multiple occurring problem and in my estimation seems to be a product design and manufacturing problem.

Hi there,i am taking my jeep liberty for a recall on the rear suspension lower control arms to my local chrysler dealer tomorrow june 27, 2013. Apparently the recall was made because the control arms are made out of a material that can corrode and break without warning causing a crash. I find this interesting because on june 26, 2012 almost a year ago to the day, i had the jeep in for a replacement of the transfer case and the mechanic replaced my front control arm noting that he had never seen such a thing, it was rotted almost completely through and those almost always outlast any vehicle they are on. I paid $549.00 to have that replaced and i would think it was the same cheap metal as the rear control arms...why wouldn't it be? anyways, i would like to be reimbursed for the repair of their cheap parts. I am also very concerned about the pending recall on the gas tank placement of my liberty which can cause a fire or explosion. I am not a mechanic and trust auto companies to keep my safety and that of my family to be paramount. If i had of known that there was a potential danger to our lives that could have been avoided i would never, ever have purchased this vehicle. I might also mention that besides the front driveshaft, the rear control arms, the transfer case replacement, i have also had the rear end redone twice now. I have the original bills for all of this work. If chrysler had any decency at all they would recall these vehicles without question.i am in ontario, canada and your sheet does not allow me to choose this option so state and zip will be incorrect.

I had this taken care of by a non jeep dealer due to short on funds to have it done by a jeep dealer, at the time this happened did not know jeep would have covered the cost of the repairs since this issue was a recall issue that had been fix back in 2007. This jeep i had purchased used in dec 2013. I had called jeep corp to check on recalls after i had first purchased. Found things were fixed but was not told there was a 10 year warranty on that work that was done back in 2007 by the previous owner. If i would have know that at the time i had this issue again on july 26 2014 i would have taken it to the jeep dealer, but because i did not have a lot of money i had it fixed by another auto repair service. I would like to be reimbursed for the cost at 534.40 i had to pay in july 2014 for issues with the same that were recalled and fixed back in 2007.i had called today to find out what i could do and was told nothing now since i had it fixed by a non jeep dealer. I really think it should be reimbursed do to the fact i had to have this fixed after it was recall and fixed by a jeep dealer and it still broke. I have the receipt for the repairs that were done july 2014.
I've had multiple window regulator failures (leaving my car open to theft and damage), seat belt broken, and air condition compressor, and rear axel problems. All issues happened shortly after the warranty expired.

On saturday september 27th while driving my vehiclei noticed a rumble noise while climbing a modest hill.an inspection of the vehicle revealed that the rear axle had moved forward several inches and the driver rear wheel had movedinto a position where it was contacting the inner fender which caused the noise.further investigating the cause lead me to notice that the lower control arm had failed due to corrosion which allowed axle to move forward.i have contacted chrysler by registered letter regarding this issue but i have received no response.

At approximately 0520 a.m. On january 23, 2012 i was traveling north on west virginia route 26 just outside of kingwood, west virginia on my way to work. I was descending a hill around several sharp turns at a rate of speed approximately 30 mph on dry bumpy pavement.without warning i felt a vibration which seemed to originate in the rear of my 2005 jeep liberty. Several seconds later a hard thump was felt underneath the floor boards accompanied by a metal scraping noise.i immediately began applying the brakes to stop the car to investigate but before i could bring the vehicle to a complete halt the rear of the car began to come around toward the front of the suv from the right. Once i got the car completely stopped i put it into park, applied my emergency brake, turned on my hazard lights and then got out to investigate the situation. As i examined the back of the vehicle i noticed that the right rear wheel was out of alignment almost touching the back of the wheel well. I then shined my flashlight underneath of the car and saw the front end of the drive shaft lying on the street. I coasted my car into a nearby driveway to get it off of the street.i had my vehicle towed to the nearest jeep dealership for repair. Diagnosis: right hand rear control arm failure due to excessive erosion/rusting. I had the failed part replaced and as a precaution i had the left hand control arm replaced as well. Both old parts are available for inspection. I purchased my jeep new in wisconsin in 2005 and i moved to west virginia in 2010.

Bushing and body bushing on front of the vehicle, squeak very loudly anytime the vehicle is in motion, or when someone enters or exits the vehicle, the added weight to the vehicle, causes the vehicle to squeak from the front underside of the vehicle, every bump or ruff spot in the road, turning the steering wheel either direction, even the slightest causes very loud squeaking, the squeaking is present with simple rocking of the steering wheel. The steering feels tighter and simple turns require more body muscle use, when the vehicle is both in motion and stationary. The squeaking/rubbing is present, at all times, when even the slightest amount of movement or position changes from driver/passengers inside the vehicle. Feels like the front of the vehicle is about to fall out, or that the friction from the rubbing or pieces in the front/ front suspension, is going to cause something to wear down and break, which could cause control of the vehicle to be lost, and could result in an accident, that could potentially be fatal.when i do a general search for recalls on my particular vehicle make and model, it shows 2 regarding the front suspension, and ball joints, however when i search recalls using my vehicles vin number, it shows '0 unrepaired recalls' but i have never had any recalls repaired on my vehicle, and the recalls that show active, fit the issues going on with my vehicle, and i'm not sure why my 2005 jeep liberty renegade, fits into the vehicles with the recall concerns present and active, but my vehicle doesn't show and one that need to be repaired based on the active recalls.

An ongoing problem with the fuel gauge is that whenever i fill up i can drive about 20 miles (more or less) and then all of a sudden the engine light and gas light come on and the fuel gauge goes all the way to empty. Which can be pretty scary the first time you see it happen and you're going 75 mph on the interstate. The second problem is the suspension. Any time i turn the steering wheel it creaks. Riding over even barely bumpy roads causes my car to creak and groan. It shakes horribly when driving between 50-55 or even idling but gets better when i take my foot off the gas, apply the brakes, or go at higher speeds.

Rear control arm rusted
The rear control arm completely rusted through and broke as i was driving on a 2 lane highway. I lost control of the jeep, luckily there were no other cars around so i was able to avoid a crash. The other arm is almost rusted through as well. This is not normal wear and tear. The corrosion is excessive! the jeep has not been used for snow plowing or anything like that. There is no rust anywhere else on the car just the rear control arms.

I was at a full stop at a red light, and when the light turned green, made a right hand turn. During the turn i heard a loud thud from the rear passenger's side wheel area, and the back end of the car shimmied a little bit. I pulled into a shopping center about a 1/8 mile away, parked my vehicle, and got out to inspect the area i heard the noise come from. My lower control arm had almost completely snapped. I decided to inspect the driver's side rear lower control arm, which was cracking as well.i decided to look up any recalls on my make, model and year, as i take very good care of my vehicle and found this odd. Turns out there is a recall for the lower control arms, the "l27" recall. I was not made aware of this by chrysler. I contacted their customer service, and was told that it would be towed to the nearest dealership for inspection; also, if i requested that my vehicle be taken to a different dealership, there would be an additional fee. It was brought to the dealership, and it was confirmed to be the recall. I asked if there were any other recalls, and i was told by the sales rep that there is another recall, this one concerning the fuel tank, which chrysler would install a free trailer hitch for to protect it from rear end collisions. The rep then informs me "but we don't have those parts, no one really has them, so we aren't doing anything about that right now". Hits me for a $4,400 quote for other things they found wrong. I had my car there for a week, and i had to pay for my rental car. I was told by chrysler that it is up to the dealership to offer help with that, which this one doesn't. I told them that i should not have to pay $350 extra to cover a rental because of a recall that is their brand's fault and responsibility to repair. I am lucky i wasn't on a highway. Both chrysler and dealership refuse to pay for rental car.
Received notice about the recall of rear suspension lower control arm and the details of approximately how long it would take to fix given an appointment has been made and part was ordered. Made an appt. With dealer two weeks in advance and according to the recall statement the work would take approximately an hour but give it more time in case of a congested schedule oat dealer. At no point was i made aware that the work would apparently take half of the day. This dealership is approximately an hour from my home and was not prepared to spend half of the day sitting in the dealership, nor was i made aware that i should be prepared to spend half the day there when the recall notice says the work only takes an hour. Therefore, my car is still not fixed and i will have to find another jeep dealer that will better adhere to the appointment time they had me make.

Luckily i managed to get the jeep to slide to a complete stop on the shoulder of the road without colliding with any other vehicles. Unfortunately this same type of incident occurred just 7 months earlier in august of 2011 while i was driving south on the taconic state parkway at 60mph the front passenger upper ball joint broke apart causing that wheel to fall off and under the jeep, once again a miracle that i managed to get the truck to slide off the road without involving any other cars !

The front lower ball joints failed a second time and were replaced again per nhsta id # 06v-288 recall f23.the official mopar website says faq says that "qonce the recall is completed, what is the warranty on the repair if the recalled component fails again?aif there is a subsequent failure, we will review the situation and if, in fact, it is for the same condition as the recall, fca us will repair the vehicle for free."i am being told by a fca case manager that there is a 2 year 24 month warranty on the parts installed as part of this safety recall.the mopar website faq makes no mention of this and i can not be told where to find this 2 year 24 month warraty.why isn't fca following their own policy stated to the public?why is fca being deceptive and inaccurate?how should this falsehood be addressed?
Like everyone else is reporting all of my upper and lower ball joints are bad on my 2005 liberty. With just over 125k miles i have been told that i have over $3,000 in repairs needed, front upper and lower ball joint, rear ball joints, front hub bearings and both front cv axles. This is the entire front suspension (rear lower ball joints were covered in a recall and were replaced after we had to have it towed in for breakage) . This is obvious a problem and jeep needs to do a recall and reimburse people for their expenses.

Purchased a 2005 jeep liberty in the state of wisconsin, a state that has excessive cold and icy weather, streets are heavily salted.the jeep i purchased has had several recalls, major was the rear end control arm, which the dealership repaired. 2005 jeep liberty also has major electrical problems which causes the engine cooling fan to short out. Having it to be frequently replaced once a year. 2nd major problem is the front right control arm assembly front upper left and right. Along with wheel hub assembly, both corrodes and can cause the steering to brake into, resulting in alost of steering causing a major accident while driving. These major mechanical problems needs should be recalled, so they can be replaced or repaired. I've taken the jeep to different repairs shop and was told the jeeps are known for safety issues including electrical and control arm problems and to check for recalls.
As i was pulling into a parking lot i suddenly heard a loud noise and noticed my back wheels acting strange. I thought it was a flat tire so i parked and checked my rear tires. Everything looked fine so i got what i had come for then got back on the road. The noise and difficulty steering were still there though so i pulled over again and looked under the rear tires. The rear control arm on the drivers side has completely rusted through and broken. I couldn't believe a car with less than 70,000 miles on it could have a part completely rust through like that so i checked all the recalls on the liberty model. Not surprisingly there was a recall due to excessive rust on the very part that had completely rusted out on my vehicle. I was never notified of this safety recall though because i don't live in one of the states where the recall was issued. The states where the recall was issued get snow in the winter and salt is usually used to clear the streets. That is why these states were in the recall. I live in nebraska though, a state that gets nearly as much snow as iowa, missouri, and minnesota (three states that were included in the recall) and yet if you live in my state you are not informed of the recall and you do not get the parts replaced. If i had not been pulling into a parking lot at the moment the rear control arm had rusted through and broken the incident could have been much worse. I could have been on the highway or a busy street and easily lost control of my vehicle. Since my state was not included in the recall my safety (and the safety of other drivers) was put at risk and i will now be out $600.

U38nhtsa recall #18v-278no dealer within 100 miles will honor the recall. Said can't get parts or not available for scheduling or they didn't sell me the car. Or they want to charge for the repair.
The right front wheel/ tire separated from the suspension while driving. I was on the 5th floor of a parking garage. I was told this was directly caused by the lower ball joint failing. This was on a 2005 jeep liberty renegade. Recall repairs previously performed on front lower ball joints on 04/09/2007.i no longer own this vehicle.
This concerns recall u38?nhtsa 18v-278 that says fca will replace both rear lower control arms. Does not seem to be that straight forward. The attached file is the email received from fca and my original questions posted to them. I do not have a copy, but i replied to fca email asking whose recall is it, fca or their dealers? they did not address why different dealers are giving different infomation. I also asked what is the dealer going to inspect as it appears that the arms are corroding from the inside out.according to the recall paper work, fca says the arms must be replaced. Why should i be required to do two dealer visits because the dealer wants it that way. Fca is not taking ownership of the recall and is allowing different dealers to treat customers in very different ways, which amounts to no one is hooering the recall as printed.
I would like to know if the recall has been done on the vehicle i have.

Recall of control arms: purchased in november 2015. 1/22/16 in the evening, my 16 year old son had just gotten off the highway and was coming into town (at 25 mph thankfully), felt a jerk and heard a noise. Pulled over immediately. Bottom line, the control arms were rusted the whole way through...recall issue. I called them and they said they would pay for tow. I have tried relentlessly (sometimes nicely and sometimes not so nicely) to get them to pay for the 2 day rental that i had to pay for while the truck was in the shop. They said they wouldn't because it was outside their "parameters". I understand, buyer beware, check recalls etc before purchasing.they may or may not (typically not from what i am reading) provide you with acceptable customer service. The inconvenience is typical, that's life. But for me to have to pay out of pocket for their sub par equipment.....not acceptable. The local dealership was friendly and as helpful as they could be considering all they really needed to do was fix the recall item (i did have them repair another separate issue at my cost). They were quick to get it repaired. I dealt with aaron and thought he was professional and friendly.this could have caused injury or even death to my son, especially if he had been on the highway like had just a few minutes earlier. I have a hard time accepting that $100.00 is going to be the difference in good and bad customer service for them.this is their case # 28638056

After viewing underneath the vehicle, noticed the rusted broken arm of the suspension system (left rear).the other side is rusted and cracked as well (right rear).fortunately i was traveling in a subdivision at a slow rate of speed.otherwise i feel had i been on a busier highway at higher rate of speed, may have lost control as the car was swerving while i was only doing 20mph and under.

My vehicle was safe, no noise, no problems and was currently in mint condition mechanically and otherwise. I dropped it off thursday night 5/7/2015 to be worked on 7/8/2015.they called the morning of 7/8/2015 to say the vehicle was complete. As i drove home the wheel shakes and front end makes noise while braking and sounds loose. I immediately returned it, they were rude and after my obvious frustration finally decided to take a test drive.when sal, the service coordinator came back and actually admitted (with a witness) i was one in a million that received bad ball joints but that they don't have any more i would have to wait.

2005 jeep liberty customer states that they received a letter for recall and was not been able to get car fixed**ccthis consumer states while pulling into the parking lot, the driver's side front suspension failed causing the tire to become disconnected.update * 4/16tr
Our 2005 jeep liberty limited crd has had the lower front suspension ball joints replaced as part of the vehicle's recall notice.at approximately 30,000 miles, we went to an independent tire shop for an alignment due to poor tire wear and "wandering" characteristics when driving at highway speeds.the tire shop indicated that the vehicle had a defective upper ball joint and could replace the failed unit with permission from the dealer.the dealer, medved jeep, denied the claim.we took the vehicle to medved who then claimed that the upper ball joints were not defective.at approximately 37,000 miles the vehicle had a higher frequency of front end clunking, so i took it back to medved who then claimed the noise was only an extraneous battery loose under the seat.at approximately 43,000 miles, the clunking had become disturbingly frequent and more severe.i took it back to medved and they now confirm that it's a faulty upper ball joint.however, they claim no responsibility for not correcting the problem at 30,000 miles or 37,000 miles.they refused to replace the defective part, and furthermore, called in a chrysler inspector who reported that our 1-1/2" lift kit caused the problems with the ball joint.however, the boots on the ball joints are still intact and there is no visible evidence that indicates the cause of the ball joint failure (poor manufacturing versus lift kit).there has been no forensic evaluation of the failure.the upper ball joints on this vehicle have a "record" of failure per online forums.many failures are on vehicles without lift kits-pointing to likely underengineered component's on the part of jeep versus purely speculative conclusions that our 1-1/2" lift kit may have caused the failure.the lower ball joint engineering was faulty, and nhtsa should explore the related failures to the upper suspension ball joints.this is as potentially serious under catastrophic failure as the lower suspension ball joints.
I received notification code f23 from daimler chrysler recalling my vehicle for a serious safety problem with ball joints this month. I first read about the recall in september of 2006, but it took six months for them to notify me. After receiving the notice, i called my jeep dealer on 3/27/07. I was told that there were 170 people on the list ahead of me, and that the most they would fix was 10 vehicles per week. Next, i called daimler chrysler's 800 number that was listed on the recall notice. After being placed on hold while they were trying to find another dealer, i was cut off. A recall that will take over one year to remedy is not acceptable! please let me know what i should do if i have an accident that kills someone while i am waiting!
I have a nationwide safety recall on my 2005 jeep liberty from daimler chrysler. When i contacted my dealership as instructed by chrysler i was informed they were only receiving 3 parts a week from chrysler. As of today i am 80th on the waiting list.as you can see it will take almost 27 weeks and/or more to get my jeep fixed.my concern is the recall states the following:"when the driver continues to operate the vehicle with this condition, the contamination can lead to corrosion, accelerated wear and possibly separation from the steering knuckle causing a loss of vehicle steering control increasing the risk of a crash."it appears this is a serious safety condition that could kill the people in the liberty and other vehicles if this unit fails.please let me know if you can assist in this matter.thank you,larry j. Paul.

My wife was working late and left to come home around 7:30 pm. She works about 30-45 minutes away on the other side of the mountain and travels very steep and windy roads. As she was coming home she heard a noise come from the front end and didn't think anything of it. As she was coming up the private dirt road to our house all of a sudden the front drivers side of the jeep collapsed and the tire popped. She could not move at all so she walked the rest of the way home and when she got home i walked down to see what was going on. Sure enough what happened was the bolt holding the lower a-arm came off and the whole assembly was sitting on the ground and had made a huge hole in the tire. Lucky this did not happen going up the steep and windy roads over the mountain other wise she would have definitely got into an accident. We called the chrysler road side assistance and had the jeep towed to the dealer. The next day we called the dealer they gave us a loaner car. About a week later we picked up the jeep they had replaced both front ball joints and replaced the tire with a brand new one. We only had our 05 renegade for just over a year and about 31000 miles on it.
The lower front ball joints on my 2005 jeep liberty 4x4 with 26000 miles show excessive wear.due to the design of the joint total failure will result in the ball and socket separating from the spindle/wheel assembly.a failure of this nature will result in loss of control of the vehicle.this excessive wear has manifested itself in a loud clunking which has been getting worse for 3000 miles but the dealer could not locate the problem.i found the problem when doing routine maintenance and measured the up and down movement in the joint to be .25 inches.when the dealer went to install the new joints he also found the upper ball joints to be bad.i had a previous liberty(2002) which was recalled for this same problem and assumed jeep had fixed the ball joints.obviously they have not.there have been several incidents reported already (lostkj.com) where people have had a catastrophic failure associated with these joints.jeep must fix this design asap.suspension company moog has already designed a replacement ball joint that is more robust and greasable. Jeep must be forced to do something.

We own a 2005 jeep liberty . In jan. 2007 we received a recall letter w/ notification code f23 . We had the recall work done at bill luke in phx., az in jan. 2007 . Now while here in evansville , in. We had our jeep serviced ( 11/07 ) and the mechanic showed us that the 2 front tires were worn out badly on the inside of each tire. He told us that the front end components are all good and sound so he suggested we have a front end alignment done. He also rotated the bad tires to the back and back to front. After investigating the receipts from the past recall work there was no front end alignment done after the lower ball joints were installed at bill luke in phx,az.. We just took it as if that work was done and never questioned the dealership about a front end alignment and they never said anything to us about it. We have contacted bill luke with no resolve to this serious problem they created on our jeep. We need to now replace 4 tires and get a computerized front end alignment ( approx. $ 850 ) at the cost oftheir negligence. We need help to resolve this matter promptly. Any time any front end parts are replaced a front end alignment should be done. And trying to explain that to the dealership in phx is very hard. Please help us get reimbursement for this problem that daimler chrysler created. Thank you.

My 2005 jeep liberty was involved in a rollover accident with 4 fatalities on 9 june 07.the incident took place at highway speed on an interstate highway with no other vehicles involved.the driver and one passenger survived the accident with multiple injuries.the four passengers in the back seat of the liberty were not wearing seat belts and were ejected from the vehicle during the rollover event.the driver felt that she had no control of the steering just prior to the rollover of the vehicle.the incident is currently under investigation.the consumer also stated the air bag did not deploy. The consumer stated the was a nail in the tire that could have caused low tire pressure, contributing to the loss of control of the vehicle which may have resulted in failure of the upper ball joints.a recall was performed on the lower ball joints in may 2007.updated
The lower front ball joints on my 2005 jeep liberty 4x4 with 26000 miles show excessive wear.due to the design of the joint total failure will result in the ball and socket separating from the spindle/wheel assembly.a failure of this nature will result in loss of control of the vehicle.this excessive wear has manifested itself in a loud clunking which has been getting worse for 3000 miles but the dealer could not locate the problem.i found the problem when doing routine maintenance and measured the up and down movement in the joint to be .25 inches.when the dealer went to install the new joints he also found the upper ball joints to be bad.i had a previous liberty(2002) which was recalled for this same problem and assumed jeep had fixed the ball joints.obviously they have not.there have been several incidents reported already (lostkj.com) where people have had a catastrophic failure associated with these joints.jeep must fix this design asap.suspension company moog has already designed a replacement ball joint that is more robust and greasable. Jeep must be forced to do something.
Our 2005 jeep liberty limited crd has had the lower front suspension ball joints replaced as part of the vehicle's recall notice.at approximately 30,000 miles, we went to an independent tire shop for an alignment due to poor tire wear and "wandering" characteristics when driving at highway speeds.the tire shop indicated that the vehicle had a defective upper ball joint and could replace the failed unit with permission from the dealer.the dealer, medved jeep, denied the claim.we took the vehicle to medved who then claimed that the upper ball joints were not defective.at approximately 37,000 miles the vehicle had a higher frequency of front end clunking, so i took it back to medved who then claimed the noise was only an extraneous battery loose under the seat.at approximately 43,000 miles, the clunking had become disturbingly frequent and more severe.i took it back to medved and they now confirm that it's a faulty upper ball joint.however, they claim no responsibility for not correcting the problem at 30,000 miles or 37,000 miles.they refused to replace the defective part, and furthermore, called in a chrysler inspector who reported that our 1-1/2" lift kit caused the problems with the ball joint.however, the boots on the ball joints are still intact and there is no visible evidence that indicates the cause of the ball joint failure (poor manufacturing versus lift kit).there has been no forensic evaluation of the failure.the upper ball joints on this vehicle have a "record" of failure per online forums.many failures are on vehicles without lift kits-pointing to likely underengineered component's on the part of jeep versus purely speculative conclusions that our 1-1/2" lift kit may have caused the failure.the lower ball joint engineering was faulty, and nhtsa should explore the related failures to the upper suspension ball joints.this is as potentially serious under catastrophic failure as the lower suspension ball joints.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty.the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for repair.the technician inspected the vehicle and noticed corrosion in the front upper ball joints.the vehicle was not repaired at that time; however, the lower front ball joints were replaced eight months ago according to nhtsa campaign id number 06v288000 (suspension:front:control arm:lower ball joint).the contact was concerned of the safety risk involved.the vin was unknown.the failure mileage was 77,000 and current mileage was 78,000.

Purchased 2005 jeep liberty 9/29/05. The tire pressure sensor light was on immediately. Tookvehicle back to dealership and complained that the vehicle pulls badly to the right, especially at 65+ mph. The dealership fixed the tire pressure sensor, but told me the pulling to the right must be due to road conditions. After reading other customer complaints, i doubt it. When driving at highway speeds it is difficult to maintain in lane.if large tractor-trailer trucks pass this will create even more intense struggle to keep vehicle on the road.safety concerns regarding winter snow conditions are a deciding factor on keeping the vehicle.

It acted like the brake had locked while i was driving and working against my speed. This is an ongoing problem.

Traveling interstate 94, approximately 70 mph, unavoidable tire debris on roadway.my vehicle front passenger wheel struck rubber truck tire casing which just blew off truck.the valve stem of my tire broke off instantly deflating the tire. The valve stem is part of the siemens bdo tire pressure monitor system installed on daimler chrysler vehicles and my jeep liberty.the stem broke at the stem cap thread.my dealership has reported many failures to daimler chrysler there is no recall or replacement which fixes the fault.the assembly material is some aluminum alloy and will readily snap off if pressure is applied laterally at the tip of the valve stem even the brushes at the car wash break these valve stems.
1.poor material selection for tire pressure sensor valve stem.stems are made of aluminum and with road salt they corrode and crack when pressure gauges or air hoses are connected.2. Spare tire sensor always reports low pressure no matter pressure or which tire is mounted on spare tire holder.

The left rear window just fell down inside the door when i was driving.we took the door apart (so we could close the window) and found out it was a faulty window regulator.i called everywhere for a part and the only one that has it is a dealer at a hefty price.i was told that it is a commom problem and the dealer checked my vin # and i was told mine was not on a recall list.on my many phone calls to various parts supplier stores, i was told that the part is junk and it would probably happen again.the dealer says there is a one year warrantly on the part.it just seems to me that it is a no win situation, for the consumer anyway.total cost of repair, parts and labor - $283.48. Rediculous!
I purchased a gently used car from a chrysler dealership that had two open safety recalls. I was not informed of these recalls at the time of my purchase. It is my understanding that this is an offense against the nhtsa. Please feel free to contact me for further information. I hope this will never happen to anyone else buying from a so-called "reputable" dealer, as i thought i was.
The windows fell into the door when roling down the drivers rear window. This is the 4th time this has happened and not just this window. I have replaced 3 window regulators and 2 windows. The plastic component holding the window in place has a tiny meatal clip to hold a ball joint to the window and its not strong enough to hold the window in place. For a vehicle designed for off roading i cant see how this is good. The last time this occured was during a rain storm and my 6 yr old got soaked when it fell. Just glad the window didnt shatter this time. I almost lost control when this happened and had to find a place to pull over to help him.
While driving noticed driving wheels sloppy.there is to bolts in front frame connected to steering,when turn wheels one side stays and rest pivots as need to turn steering. On other side bolt and whole bolt and mechanism pivots and makes a grinding noise. Makes a popping sound as well. Have noticed recently that if hit a bump steering get very shaky.
Takata recall: while driving, especially uphill or at high speeds (such as the interstate) the vehicle will sputter and shake and lose horsepower (this especially happens during warm weather). When this happens, the odometer drops, and you cannot get the speed to increase, which is a terrifying experience when you're travelling on the interstate with cars going 70+ mph behind you and you have tractor trailers beside you. I've taken my jeep to 3+ garages to remedy the issue, and they're all left scratching their heads because the system has wiped every code that was thrown, and everything they try does not help matters - none of them know what to do aside from guessing and replacing parts. The last garage i went to researched the issue, as did i, and there are countless forums with these complaints about jeeps.furthermore, a lot go on to say they replaced this, that, and the other and the problem goes away for a small amount of time before starting up again, and they and their mechanics are also at a loss. This has been about 2 years of researching, garage work, and an inability to take the vehicle long distances or high speeds. One post i read even said it could be a serious fire hazard which is dangerous for those in the vehicle and those on the roadway.
I just got some information from a friend that my jeep was on a recall.
Trying to get letter of compliance on an english jeep saying it meets us min. Safety standard.i have called several numbers and keep being sent to anothernumber.the car was built in onio but no one seems to know where to get this information.can you help me?
I received a recall notice approximately a year ago. Checked on it in april 2014 with chrysler by phone. Have checked on it today on your site. No new notification. Still waiting on parts. Still no notice to take vehicle to dealer for inspection. What is the point in a safety recall if there is no action on the part of the manufacturer?
Every 2002-2007 jeep liberty has defective window regulators.when they break, they are replaced with another defective window regulator again and again.the dealers make $400 a pop to do this and chrysler thinks it is ok.they finally recalled 2006-2007 what about the rest?i missed the recall by one year and my window regulators just continue to break.it is discrimination.your car can be parked and you walk out and see the window down.you can be driving when it happens.your car is never secure.you can be rob or worse killed since anyone can get in when it is down.also, rain, snow, insects or animals can all enter your car but that is not a defect to chrysler.it is time for a recall.
While trying to avoid a rear end collision at 30mph steering and break pedal got hard causing rollover where the airbags did not deploy not did the seatbelt restrain
Window regulator failing. Two window regulators have failed so far. For the first time, the rear passenger window fell while the vehicle was stationary and i was closing it when a large snap was heard and it fell into the door. The second time, the rear driver window fell. Idid not notice when it fell, but when i went to drive one morning it was halfway down. I thought i just forgot to roll it up, but apparently that one failed as well and got stuck halfway down. In both cases the car was stationary on a driveway, then a parking lot. Luckily nothing was stolen or damaged inside. The first incident was on june 2016, the second time october 20 2016
Just purchased the vehicle and could not get the key out of the ignition once i got home and parked the car.played with it for approx. 30 min. And then the key came out.drove the car a second time and parked the vehicle and could not get the key out. I went into the house and waited approx. 30 min. Was then able to turn the ignition to click and line up and get the key out.the ignition does not allow you to make the final click once in park to get the key out of the ignition. I went online and seen that the internet was blown up with this problem especially in the 2005 jeep liberty as well as other jeeps.i think it is about time they make this a recall!!!!

On 6/5/2015, while on the freeway, the dashboard went crazy.engine and airbag lights flashed, fuel, temperature, and speed gauges went dead (zero), air conditioning stopped.i drove straight to the elk grove dealership's service department.they were unable to find what was wrong.unable to duplicate the problem and the computer memory did not showed them anything.they performed the 120k service instead.on 6/18/2015, while driving at 15mph it happened again.this time, i pulled to the side of the road and took a video of the dashboard, and again drove to the elk grove dealership.as of today, they have been unable to diagnose/find what is wrong.they know is a control module, but do not know which one.since other jeep models experiencing similar problems have been subject to recall, i want to know why not for the 2005 model.i fear for my safety and the safety of drivers around me should this control module kills the engine while i am on the freeway.i have been without transportation while the car is held hostage for observation.this module has a factory or design defect that needs to be corrected by jeep!

Ignition switch not turning when attempting to crank vehicle. I had recently drove my vehicle. Prior to the incident my ignition switch made a louder noise when i attempted to turn over the vehicle. Now it's not working at all.
The nhtsa required jeep to issue a recall on fractured rear control arms that could cause reduced vehicle control and cause a crash. I have been trying since july 11 to schedule my vehicle for repair with friendship jeep in bristol, tn. They say they cannot get the parts because jeep is only allowing them to order 4-5 at a time and then they back order them. When i called the recall assistance center, they are saying mopar has them on national back order. It seems neither jeep or mopar care much about driver safety. How are consumers supposed to get their recalled vehicles repaired when parts aren't available?
To whom it may concern,we have tried to have a recall( n46/nhtsa 13v-252) scheduled and fixed numerous times with chryslerdealers in the area, only to get answers that they don't have the parts and that they can't complete the recall.

I wanted to include my vehicle incident in regards to the complaints on the jeep suv fires. I thought it was necessary to include my entry, because unlike other incidents mentioned in the investigation, my vehicle spontaneously caught fire while i was driving it and was not the result ofimpact from a crash. It was a friday evening and i was traveling home on the highwayduring rush hour traveling with the flow of traffic at about 65 mph. All of the sudden, and without warning, my vehicle started losing speed at a rapid pace. Thankfully, i was in the first lane and was able to pull immediately into the breakdown lane. All of my dashboard lights came on and while i was leaning over to inspect what could possibly be the problem, the hood of the vehicle suddenly burst into flames. I exited the vehicle swiftly and luckily a tow truck driver who had saw the smoke immediately called 911. The car was engulfed in flames in less then 5 minutes. Had i not been able to exit the vehicle or had children restrained in the back seat, there could have been serious injuries or possibly a fatality. I reported the incident to chrysler after going through my insurance. There response was a polite letter telling me they were sorry for the incident, but were not responsible. The vehicle was less than 2 years old at the time and serviced regularly. The finding of the fire dept.'s inspection was inconclusive, but i was told in confidence that it seemed more than likely it was a faulty issue with the vehicle. After the incident, i took multiple photos of the interior and exterior of the jeep, which included under the hood since we suspected the engine was at fault. If they are useful to your ongoing investigation, please feel free to contact me so that i can email them along. Thank you.

The 2005 jeep liberty in which we were riding accelerated while i was depressing the brake pedal.this happened twice.the first time, i thought that perhaps i had hit the accelerator accidentally.the second time (the very next time we started the jeep), i had my foot on the brake to slow our descent down a long driveway.i am positive my foot was on the brake.the jeep lunged forward and picked up speed.the only way i could stop was to turn into an embankment.the jeep overturned.the accident occurred on december 26, 2008 and was reported that day to the police and our insurance company.the 2010 toyota incidents have prompted me to report this incident, but the accident occurred a year earlier.again, i repeat:the brake pedal was depressed; this was not a case of accidentally hitting the accelerator.

Stopped at a stop light with foot on the brake when vehicle suddenly accelerated forward hitting a vehicle in the front causing a crash. No other known instance before this and no injuries.
Making a left turn onto a major route at 30 mph when all of a sudden the vehicle takes off on it's own and begins to swerve picking up speed while both my feet are off of the pedals.it hits one concrete wall on a bridge and proceeds to cross yellow line picking up more speed before smashing straight into other concrete wall.it's the only thing that stopped this vehicle from continuing on.air bags went off and split expelling strange odor.a jeep dealer commented that either a sensor went or accelerator pedal had stuck.i could not straighten the vehicle out by steering at all.
At approx 8:00 on the morning of 2/16/15 my 2005 jeep liberty, 3.8l v-6 with automatic transmission began to accelerate out of control while braking for a stop sign.the engine was cold, i had just started it and the temperature was in the mid to upper 50s.i was traveling about 27 mph, and began to slow for the stop.at about 10-15 mph, i noticed the car was no longer slowing down.it seemed as though the brakes stopped working.at the same time, the enginebriefly revved on its own.this made the car accelerate.i could not stop at the stop sign and the car accelerated into 50 mph cross traffic.i made a hard right turn to bring the car next to the curb, allowing room for traffic to go by.at the same time, i put the transmission into neutral and that allowed the car to stop.i then put the car into park and revved the engine.it seemed to respond normally at that point (engine would return to idle immediately after taking my foot off the gas).after shifting between part to drive, then reverse, etc. Several times, it still seemed to work normally so i continued to work with no further problems. It seemed as though while coming to a stop, the transmission did not down shift or disengage.as the engine rpms were reduced below idle due to the car slowing, the computer control system tried to bring the engine speed back up, causing it to accelerate.a couple of facts -the car has approx. 159,800 miles on the odometer.i purchased it used a few months ago and have put 13,000 miles on it. When i purchased it i had it examined by a mechanic and had all the hoses, belts, etc. Replaced.i've had the oil changed at about 5,000 mile intervals.i drive with one foot only, i don't use separate feet for the gas and the brake.the floor mat was not moved before or after this incident, and is not close to the gas pedal.check engine light did not come on.

On my way home from work i made a stop to the store. I drive major interstates to & from work. I was getting back on i-74w. There is major construction going on& it's heavy traffic time. I got on the ramp to blend in with the traffic & before i could ,the throttle stuck on wide open.i was trying to merge & control the vehicle at the same time. I continually rode the brakes to hold the car at bay. If i let off the brake, the throttle was still stuck & took off with pace. I kept applying the brake i started to smell something burn. All of a sudden the dash warning light came on . This is minutes after i started with the problem. The electronic throttle control light was flashing. As soon as i got out of the construction zone i pulled the car over & shut the motor off. I called the dealership service department, and they had the vehicle towed in. They notified me the next day and told me that the problem was the app sensor (accelerator pedal pressure sensor) and that they have to order the part from nashville, tn. They gave me a loaner car to drive until the repairs are made,which hopefully will be monday 3/20/06. This really upset myself and my husband because this problem could have led to a major accident, bodily injury,and or death to myself and other users of the highway. This vehicle was purchased in 01/06 and has only 3900 miles on it.

2005 jeep liberty crd will "sling shot" itself when starting from a stop with the a/c on. When you start to accelerate making a turn from being stopped the vehicle will start to move and you can feel, hear the engine gaining rpm but not movement then a sudden slingshot effect will take place. The selling dealer said it was normal for a diesel engine with a turbo to do this. Also stated it was in the electronics and there wasn't any thing they could do to repair it. I would have to wait for a factory bulletin to come out.this new vehicle pulls to the right constantly, i requested the alignment to be corrected during the same dealership visit as above. I was told my alignment was checked and there was no abnormal tire wear so it must be the crown of the road causing the pull or drift.this vehicle also surges when the cruise control is engaged and you start up an incline, it will continue to surge as long as the incline lasts.after picking the vehicle up at the dealership today i started home and all three of the faults occurred. I returned to the dealership and the shop foreman went with me , where the vehicle again acted up. He said there was not any thing they could do about the surging and the alignment and the sling shotting was turbo lag.i have not diven the vehicle on wet or snow covered pavement, however, with what does i not sure i want to.

I was rolling down the left rear window (electric) when it made a terrible noise. After that, it wouldn't go up or down. The window hasn't been activated 5 times since i bought the jeep in 2005. It was taken to the dealer and i was told that i need a new window register. Cost $145.00 and $50.00 labor. Bottom line, 2005 jeep liberty, 38000 miles, 3 years old and windows failing.
The radiator on this vehicle has been replacedtimes in the 8 years i have owned it. It has 7 recalls, the window on the passenger side is broken, the sensors in the engine have been replaced twice.the radiator is plastic and looks like something out of a bubble gum machine. It also has a plastic cooling fan, not metal, which also broke. I have put as much money in this vehicle as i paid for it. The brakes are horrid and go out constantly. I only have a 5 mile commute to work. The vehicle is serviced on a regular basis. It is a huge disappointment. I got this vehicle because we had owned several jeeps and liked them. This vehicle is always breaking down. The fan doesn't work on the heater except on high.the alternator has been replaced twice. The exhaust has been replaced twice.i would never buy a jeep product again after this.

Driver's side power window mechanism broke - the window fell into the bottom ofdoor panel. This happened last year on my left side passenger door window and is a known problem to jeep. However, instead of recalling this and fixing it, i had to pay $520 for a repair to the dealer. This isdangerous, because ithappens at any time without warning, and there is no way to put the window up once it falls down into the door. I was fortunate that i was not far from home or on a trip when this happened, or it could have been extremely dangerous.there are thousand of people owning jeep liberties with this problem.

I have a 2005 jeep liberty renegade.my car has less than 25,000 miles on it, but three of the windows have had to be replaced because they fell down into the window well.the driver window is the only one that has not been replaced.each window has cost me $400 to replace!!
The rear window on the driver's side fell down for no reason.i pressed the switch it did not move.i pulled it up by hand but it would fall right down.i took it to the jeep dealer thinking it would be under warranty but they charged me.two years later it happened again on the same window.i paid for it again.since, they fixed it last time they scratched the glass and i cannot open the door from the inside.i am single and 99.9% of the time i am the only one in the car.the window does not even get used and it fails.the window was not used once since the second replacement and it has failed again for a third time.the second time i was at the jeep dealer to have it replaced the service advisor even said to me that this happens all the time on these vehicles.well, then why isn't something being done about it?when you read the internet you will find that all jeep liberty's from 2002 to 2007 have this problem.the part was not engineered correctly and does not hold up.the part is clearly defective.you will be driving along and all of a sudden you hear air rushing in behind you.chrysler needs to be forced to fix it because otherwise, they will not do it.they knowingly sold a defective product which is fraud and it is illegal.your jeep is never secure and is unsafe.i travel into the city every day and have to fear that when i walk out my window will be down and i will be robbed or someone can just reach in and get in my car because the window is down and kill me, attack me or rob me.this does not even include the numerous other problems: belt tensioner defective, ball joints bad, rear window not working, roof rack lose and faded, windshield leaking, electrical issue, horn stuck on just to name some of the problems i have experienced.every year or two jeep expects you to pay hundreds of dollars to have a defective part fixed.
We have a 2005 jeep liberty that we purchased new. Since that point the rear windows have spontaneously fallen down five times. 3 times the windows were replaced under warranty, the last two times jeep has refused to cover the repair since the vehicle is out of warranty. The repair cost is approx $400 each time and they replace the broken part with the same faulty part that breaks again.
2005 jeep libertywindow operation fails repeatedly due to poor design and inferior components.
2005 jeep liberty with only 43,000 miles-driving on the interstate at speed limit when rear window started sliding down.attempts to raise window caused a loud grinding noise.once i reached my destination, i was unable to leave my vehicle since i cannot secure the window or the contents.i've contactedthe dealership who have informed me that repairs will be in excess of $200.00 and that this happens quite often with this particular model.in 40 years of driving, i have never had this happen.i've been a loyal jeep owner for more than 15 years but this is the last one i will buy!
Since we bought the liberty we have had a total of 12 incidents where the windows have fallen down and left the vehicle vulnerable to the elements and on two occasions personal property has been taken from inside the vehicle in shopping center parking lots. Chrysler sold us an extended warranty which will cover the repairs but there is a $100 deductible every time the vehicle goes in. Jeep makes a joke out of it when they see me come in by saying "what, another window ?" and then laughing and saying this is getting to be a routine, this is true and i know all of the people there because i sold chrysler/ jeep / dodge for 5 years so i just laugh with them but it really makes me mad that jeep won't fix an issue that is so obvious and so many people have problems with. This is a safety issue since my wife drives this car to work and when she goes to the car after work she has to check and see if anyone is inside the vehicle before she gets in and when she is driving the car on the freeway if the window falls down it startles her and she has almost had an accident twice over the front windows falling. I now have two windows being held up by coat hangers stuffed in the window track so the inside doesn't get wet or the car sit outside with windows wide open. Someone needs to nip this in the bud and get the chrysler corporation to step up and fix these vehicles before they hurt someone.
2005 jeep liberty rear door window slid down into the door on the highway, causing driver to get off the gas and divert his attention to the rear window.this is a "known issue with the jeep liberty" as stated by the dealer, but they will not make a permanent fix.is it going to take a family pet or child to get injured or killed before something is done.this is the 2nd time the rear door window has dropped into the door.
I'm aware that this is a common defect, but perhaps there's strength in numbers.i've had no problems with my jeep up until a few weeks ago, it had been parked for about a month when one day i noticed that the rear drivers side window was down about 3-4". I turned on the vehicle to discover that the regulator appeared to have gone out. This is especially odd considering the window's been used maybe 3 times since the vehicle was new. Now, since i refuse to pay $300 to fix something that the manufacturer has admitted to being defective (i.e. Their fault), i'm stuck dealing with a visual impairment and security issue that could lead to ether an accident or the theft of the vehicle itself. When driving, as i often do in my vehicle, especially on the interstate, i need to be able to look over my shoulder and quickly determine at times whether or not it is safe for me to move over. The fact that the window falls at the slightest bump, not all the way down, but just enough so that the top of the glass presents a visual impairment that causes me to have to unnecessarily maneuver to try and see. There is also the matter of occupant exposure to the elements and the fact that since the window will fall for no apparent reason any time, day or night, in use or not, this presents a wonderful target for would-be thieves and burglars.
Jeep liberty's from 2002-2007 all have defective window regulators.chrysler knew this yet continued to knowingly use these defective window regulators.why not, after they break chrysler gets to sell the dealership another defective window regulator and the dealership marks it up and then installs it for $400.it is a great scam.almost a little ponzi scheme.please look on the internet you will find numerous complaints about this problem.the window falls down at any time without warning.it can fall down while driving which is very startling to all of a sudden hear air rushing in the car behind you.it can fall down when the car is stopped at a stop sign or parked in front of your house.no matter when it happens it renders you car totally unsecured.anyone can enter your car since the window will now no longer stay up.any items in your car are now there for the taking by any thieves.that is the good news, the bad news is that your car is unsecured and you can be attack or killed at any time.someone can enter your car and hide behind your seat or if you stop and they see the window down they can just enter it and you cannot stop them.the lighter side is rain or snow coming it and staining your seats beyond repair.another problem with the jeep is that even condensation stains the seats and you can't get them out.this does not even include some of the other issues: belt tensioner, ball joints, roof rack, master cylinder, emergency brake shoes (which i believe were recalled and i paid for), horn stuck on, electrical issues, leaking windshield, fuel relay switch,scratches in the paint, power door locks on rear door, weatherstrip, lights and not getting everything i was promised from the dealer.this vehicle has limited my travel.you cannot even go anywhere without wondering what will happen to your car when you get back.please recall it.
Defective window regulators.everyone knows about them.just type in 2005 jeep liberty window regulator and see all the hits.the window regulators are bad on all jeep libertys from 2002-2007.i have sent information before but it seems no one cares until someone dies.i have contacted the dealer, chrysler, bbb, the state attorney general and several tv stations.i have also told several federal government agencies including nhtsa but again no one cares about the american citizen.the ones who pay the bills.when it fails the window slides down without any warning so your car becomes unsafe and you are unable to lock it or secure the car.the glass can slide down in the door or break in the door.then you take it to the dealer and he charges you $400 to fix a known defective.chrysler and the dealers love it.you make money when you sell a car with a defect and then charge the person everytime the defect fails.it is a win win for chrysler and its dealers.the public is getting the shaft.imagine not going certain places because you are afraid your car is not safe to take there or not going over night because of your car.how about i stop at a red light and a guys gets in my back seat with a knife or a gun and kills me due to my broken window regulator.the window falls down and the rain stains the seats another issue the seats stain even from water.not to mention the other issues i have had the belt tensior, the horn, the roof rack, the parking brake, the master cylinder, window regulators, window regulators, the list goes on and on. I see there are over 60 complaints about it on your website so when can i expect something to be done.when will there be a recall on window regulators on jeep liberty's?maybe we need someone to go postal at a dealership to get attention.not me.there is a known defect and with tons of evidence so fix it.
We purchased our jeep liberty in 2005 and since then the window regulator as failed in every window at least 2 times and in a couple of them 3 times.we have spent hundreds of dollars getting them repaired and they continue to break.my wife was driving today traveling around 50 mph and the front right passenger window fell into the door.i contacted chrysler and they won't do anything.i believe this problem to be extremely pervasive around the country and chrysler refuses to issue a recall.please help.
Power window regulator failure. Headed to our son's college graduation driving down i-75 south of atlanta, ga and the rear passenger window just dropped into the door. Had to stop to borrow a coat hanger to get the window back up then buy duct tape to hold it in place. Was nearly late for the graduation ceremony. Will have to take time off from work to take the car in for repair.
This is the fourth time that i have had a window regulator problem. The second time on the same window. I have heard that it is caused from overuse but the only window regulator that has not yet needed to be replaced is my driver window which is the one i use the most! this obviously has nothing to do with it. It is simply a faulty part that they do not feel is significant enough to find a permanent solution for. I fear that it will happen when i am on vacation or something and a storm will ruin my car without my knowing or my car will be "broken" into or even stolen. I know there are many other people with the same issues happening multiple times but not everyone knows to report it. I hope that enough people complaining about the same faulty part will make them do something about it.
Window fell into door and is preventing the door from opening. Broke window regulator like so many other people have complained about. My daughter was driving the car and said the window just fell. I have the window up with a wedge to keep it from falling again. Luckily the window did not break.
All 2005 jeep liberty's have defective window regulators that break even when the window is not used.chrysler knows about it but does not care.they sell a car with a defective product and when it breaks they have the dealer replace the defective part with another defective part and charge you $400.it is fraud plain and simple.when the window drops down without warning the glass can break and injure someone. Items can be tossed into the car such as stones or debris from other drivers.people can enter your car and attack you or kill you since the car cannot be locked.you cannot leave items in your car because it is never secure.when the window falls air rushes into your car if you are driving along with rain, snow and sleet which makes it difficult to drive depending on what window it is.it stains the seats.i have contacted other gov.'t agencies and some tv stations.if nothing is done i will contact other tv stations until something is done.

The transmission is defective which in turn ruined the transfer case.i have another defective belt tensioner.last but not least i have two more broken window regulators.just check the internet there are articles all over about broken window regulators.i understand they only recalled 2006 and 2007 what about 2002-2005 which were bad first.on top of that they replace them with the same defective window regulators so they will break again and again.that way the dealers can continue to make money on you.the garage told me that the transmission in my car was used for one year on one model and i believe it because they have tried all over for a transmission and cannot get the right one.they have had three sent in and all three were wrong.this just confirms that the transmission was defective and they stop using it.plus a transmission should last far longer than 120,000 miles.i read all the time that today cars are good for 200,000 miles or more.this does not include the other defective parts on the jeep: belt tensioners, locks, roof rack, window regulators, horn, leaking windshield, rubber on roof rack, rubber on and around doors, upholstery stains even from water, master cylinder, replacing lights way to often as well as fuses, marks in the paint, fuel relay switch, and this list is by no means all inclusive it is just what i can remember off the top of my head.i have contacted chrysler over the years about window regulators and they don't care.your car is never secure when a window will drop without warning.it can occur while drive or even when you are not in the car.only one window in my car gets opened.windows not used break leaving you susceptible to theft and bodily harm.chrysler does not care about the transmission either. It is all greed.after being bailed out twice by the us taxpayers it is time they pay us back by being honest

I was parked and preparing to leave work when my window dropped down into the door. I see that a recall was done on this same issue for my vehicle, but not my year.. I have a 2005 and they are only covering this issue for 2006 forward... Why.. If it is an issue with this model, than shouldn't the other years be covered as well?

Power window has failed and allowed the glass to fall inside the door on three different windows.this has happened on my gasoline 2005 liberty on three occasions beginning in 2010 and on my diesel 2005 liberty, once in 2011.
Defective window regulators.everyone knows about them.just type in 2005 jeep liberty window regulator and see all the hits.the window regulators are bad on all jeep libertys from 2002-2007.i have sent information before but it seems no one cares until someone dies.i have contacted the dealer, chrysler, bbb, the state attorney general and several tv stations.i have also told several federal government agencies including nhtsa but again no one cares about the american citizen.the ones who pay the bills.when it fails the window slides down without any warning so your car becomes unsafe and you are unable to lock it or secure the car.the glass can slide down in the door or break in the door.then you take it to the dealer and he charges you $400 to fix a known defective.chrysler and the dealers love it.you make money when you sell a car with a defect and then charge the person everytime the defect fails.it is a win win for chrysler and its dealers.the public is getting the shaft.imagine not going certain places because you are afraid your car is not safe to take there or not going over night because of your car.how about i stop at a red light and a guys gets in my back seat with a knife or a gun and kills me due to my broken window regulator.the window falls down and the rain stains the seats another issue the seats stain even from water.not to mention the other issues i have had the belt tensior, the horn, the roof rack, the parking brake, the master cylinder, window regulators, window regulators, the list goes on and on. I see there are over 60 complaints about it on your website so when can i expect something to be done.when will there be a recall on window regulators on jeep liberty's?maybe we need someone to go postal at a dealership to get attention.not me.there is a known defect and with tons of evidence so fix it.
I purchased a 2005 jeep liberty in july 2005, only 10 miles. I was excited as this was my first new vehicle. I heard good things about jeep however, over past two years i am very disappointed in jeep. I have had two recalls on my jeep. One replace the ball joints and the other for a transmission/gear slip.two months after i bought it, motor on the driver?s side rear window wentmotor was making noise and window just rolled down. On the freeway the window just came all the way down by itself. I brought the jeep in and reps told me the regulator/motor was bad. I noticed that other customers had same problem. Little over two years later, other window on the rear passenger side went. My window broke thursday night, 4/10/08.i was leaving work lateand where i work isn't best part of town.i came up to my jeep and noticed the window was all the way down! this is definitely safety issue. Called the dealership the next day at moore chrysler jeep peoria az 85382 told them what happened. I asked the rep if they would need to order the part before i come in. She stated and i quote, ?no, we don?t need to order the part as this is a common jeep problem. We have plenty in stock.?this is obviously a manufacturer defecti was furious at this point since this is the second time i have had to go and get this fixed. This is not a wear and tear type of problem. This is a manufacturer defect and they know it is faulty product. This is common knowledge at dealerships and they know that!i can?t see how jeep could knowingly put these vehicles up for sale like this! this is definitely a safety hazard. What if i had been parked at the mall? there is no defense, the window just rolls down by itself, with the engine turned off! as you can see i am very upset by this. This faulty motor needs to be recalled in all jeeps! i hope that no one gets hurt by this faulty motor as a child could easily go out the window! or they could get in and hide and rape or kill someone!
Power windows defective.

The right rear window regulator failed on my 2005 jeep liberty.it cannot be rolled up or down. It will not stay rolled up and is a safety hazard as well as a theft issue.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty. The power windows would fail intermittently. The rear and front passenger's side windows were off track and falling into the door panel. Also, the front and rear driver's side door handle had broken off completely. The vehicle was taken to her local dealer where the window regulator and the door handles and panel were repaired under extended warranty. On a later date, the front driver's side window would operate intermittently and was slow to return to the closed position. Also, both the rear driver and passenger's side windows were dropping back into the door panel. The vehicle was taken to a local service shop where they advised the window regulator was faulty in design and referred her to her local dealer. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where she was awaiting repairs. There were no recalls on the vehicle. The failure mileage was under 36,000 and the current just under 59,000.
All 2005 jeep liberty's have defective window regulators that break even when the window is not used.chrysler knows about it but does not care.they sell a car with a defective product and when it breaks they have the dealer replace the defective part with another defective part and charge you $400.it is fraud plain and simple.when the window drops down without warning the glass can break and injure someone. Items can be tossed into the car such as stones or debris from other drivers.people can enter your car and attack you or kill you since the car cannot be locked.you cannot leave items in your car because it is never secure.when the window falls air rushes into your car if you are driving along with rain, snow and sleet which makes it difficult to drive depending on what window it is.it stains the seats.i have contacted other gov.'t agencies and some tv stations.if nothing is done i will contact other tv stations until something is done.

My 17 year old daughter drives this car. I have a huge problem with this vehicle having a recall and parts not being available to fix it. Also this vehicle has a broken window regulator on the rear passenger door. From what i have been able to find there are thousands of people who have had to replace this part multiple times. I think this should not be the responsibility of the consumer. Something is obviously not working if this has to be replaced multiple times.
My rear drivers side power window had broken twice on my 2005 jeep liberty.it seems as if it comes off it's track and the window moves freely in the frame.it falls down into the inner part of the door when i hit a bump.i have had this repaired once before for a rather large fee.i have heard numerous complaints of the same description from other drivers of jeep liberty's from all of the power windows.something needs to be done about this because it is not fair that i have to pay for bad engineering on the part of chrysler.
Component: visibility:power window devices and controlsdetails: the left rear window regulator failed on my 2005 jeep liberty. It could not be rolled up or down.safety hazard as well as a theft issue. Never have back seat passengers and this window has not been used more then 5 times.vehicle mileage less than 45,000.
Rear, drivers side window falls down into door and cannot be lifted using switch.the same window has been repaired twice already once in march 08 then again march 09.jeep reimbursed me 1/2 for first repair and 100% for second.i have requested jeep pay for repair again but do not yet know if they will.
Left rear passenger window equipment failure.window slides to an open position without assistance - remains open & will not respond to mechanism.
Bought liberty new in 2005.on 03-26-08, left rear window regulator broke for no reason.repair not covered under warranty-cost $325.00.other owners had same complaint, buy per jeep, no recall.on 12-16-09, right front window regulator broke and window dropped into door panel.still no recall.per service advisor jeep now using a different "fix"" and replaced regulator should not have same problem.repair cost $381.00.on 11-03-10, left rear window regulator (previously replaced in 03-08) broke again.window had not even been used dozen times since previously replaced.filed complaint with jeep.also researched and saw many jeep owners having same repetitive problem.was advised by chrysler customer assistance center that it was a vendor issue and no recall in effect.after battle with chrysler, they finally agreed to reimburse me 100% for 3rd window and the cost of the 2 prior repairs minus $100.00 deductible.they reimbursed me $606.00.
Failure of power window cable caused rear door to be "deadbolted" closed without the ability to open when the cable snaked its way into the door catch system. When adding this information to a forum it was brought up by other members that this has happened to them as well. This "deadbolting" of the doors is a major safety issue.
The passenger window regulator went out.the windowjust went down and doesn't go up. When i push the button, for the window to go up it just makes a noise.
The rear passenger side window regulator broke due to wear of a plastic component.the window slides down completely and causes the car to be open to the elements/thieves.the rear driver side window regulator had the same issue the previous year.
Rear driver window just fell into the door. Seems the power window regulator broke and you must buy the entire unit not just the piece that broke. I have researched this online and this is usual occurrence on this vehicle. There should be a recall. Also chrysler seems to drag their feet on recalls. I turned in my recall card over a year ago on the ball joint recall and have yet to get a call to bring my 2005 jeep liberty in. This is unacceptable especially since the ball joints are such an integral part of the suspension.....i am afraid of my safety whenever i get on the highway fearing these joints are going to give out. Please help!!!
Jeep - since 2002 has had 1000's of complaints /repairs regarding the rear window regulator breaking over and over, and this also causing the rear door to jam so it can not be opened. They have known this issue has been going on due to the regulator is plastic, and repeatedly breaks... Not being able to the open the door is a safety concern... There are 1000's of blogs from people who have replaced these regulators multiple times, and jeep refusing to reimburse or file a recall - i have a jeep liberty 2005, and i now have had to replace both the passenger / driver side regulator, and both times the doors jammed... Please investigate this for the 1000's of jeep owners that having to put out $300+ each time this occurs... With the economy the way it is, we just can't afford a new car, or having to pay for the same repair over and over and over... Also, if you window won't stay close, it opens your jeep for being vandalized or even stolen.....
The contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty. The contact had the rear passenger side and rear driver side window regulators replaced because the windows had fallen down in the door. The dealer stated that the failure was common. The contact called the manufacturer who stated that they would cover repair costs although the vehicle was no longer under warranty. The failure mileage was 33,199 and the current mileage was approximately 56,300.updated 12/23/10. *ljthe window regulator had to be replaced three times. Updated 04/15/11
I had to have two window regulators repaired. Since then i have had to have all the window regulators repaired some of them multiple times for a total of eight. Currently i have 2 more that need to be replaced. I had customer care at chrysler discount the repair of two of them through a complaint procedure at jeep in july 2011. They refuse to help any more because of the previous repair work provided.
The windows have fallen into my door well because, as i'm told by jeep service advisors, because of defective plastic clips installed on their window assemblies.this has been an ongoing problem since i've owned this jeep and i consider it to be a safety issue because i live in the heart of carjackings, thefts, & crime in general, and cannot lock my car because i have no windows. (i am also elderly, female & consider myself to more vulnerable to crime chrysler has agreed to reimburse me, but then re-engaged, and would rather have a "cat fight" than to step up plate & pay for the problem they have created for the consumer!many jeep owners, like myself have had their window fall more than 10 times @ $400.00 per fix = $4,000 x 10 million sold (approx.) = $40,000,000.staggering and intentional profits when the have created intentional defects to pass on to the consumer!chrysler has bullied me and their greed has caused me much stress and unnecessary expense due to the fact that i am on limited income and cannot sustain this expense.i will never own another jeep simply because of chrysler's apathy, lack of fairness to the foundation who built their lousy corp - the americans!they are aware this problem is widespread, but chose to treat each case as isolated, and in most cases will not pay.bail them out and we get ripped off in return!
Window regulator on rear driver's side door failed. Regulator failure prevented the rear driver's side door from opening and made the door inoperable as an exit.
Rear door window regulator malfunctions (jan 19, 2009 and aug. 11, 2009) causing vehicle exposure to climate elements and high theft rates when power windows are jammed in open positions.
First the drivers rear regulator failed, causing the window to fall and break inside the door. I replaced both the window and the regulator. Six months later the passenger rear regulator failed and the window dropped in the door. This time it did not break the glass. Just a month after the warranty on the driver rear expired, it failed again. Now i have no working back windows. The service manager at the local dealership acknowledged this as an issue but stated there is no recall. He recommended that i take it up with chrysler. They claim it the problem exists but not with this year. They told me because i did not buy it new nor use the dealership for my service they would not help. With the glass breaking this is more than an inconvenience, it is dangerous. Chrysler knows this is an issue and is ripping people off by charging them over $400.00 to replace these with parts that will fail again.
Since buying my 2005 jeep liberty new 6 years ago...i have had to replace the mechanism that keeps the windows up eight times.out of that 8 times, jeep has made me pay for 4 of them!obviously a defective part...shame on jeep!
The contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty. The contact stated that she has been having issues with her windows rolling up and down. Her door handles have been falling off as well. The contact stated they had taken the vehicle into the dealer for the problems to be repaired but nothing had been repaired.the contact stated her grandchildren have to ride in this vehicle and she does not feel as if it is safe.the general manager had not yet looked at the vehicle but is stating that they will not repair the door handles because the contact has abused the door handles. The failure mileage 40,000 and the current mileage was 59,000.the vin was not available.
I have had to replace both back passenger window systems. Both went down with seemingly no cause and it cost hundreds to repair each. No one ever rides in the back of my car. This should not happen, but i understand it's common in these vehicles.should not be allowed by consumer protection.
All windows in doors have fallen down and cannot be closed.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty. The contact stated the rear driver and passenger side power window malfunctioned. The contact heard a strange sound while the window opened and closed. The contact also stated the window at times would fall inside the door while the power was off. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The test results confirmed a defective regulator. The dealer replaced both regulators but the repair did not remedy the issue. The failure mileage was 32,000.
While driving down the interstate, i heard a clunk. My back window behind driver had slipped down. I called my personal mechanic, not dealer, and he diagnosed it over the phone as the regulator. He told me it was commonin jeeps. While at the mechanic's, another customer said her father's jeep had done the same thing. The mechanic told me to be glad that my window did not break. I was charged to replace the regulator $300. I have no children and my back window is never used. Too many people have spent hundreds of dollars for this repair. This is definitely an inferior product and should be recalled. Customers should not be expected to pay for this repair. I only hope i can get rid of my jeep before i have another window regulator fail!!!
I've had multiple window regulator failures (leaving my car open to theft and damage), seat belt broken, and air condition compressor, and rear axel problems. All issues happened shortly after the warranty expired.
Jeep liberty 2005 windows. 2 out of 4 windows have fallen and no longer can be closed. The windows fell on their own without hitting and bumps or pot holes while driving. The window motor hums but the windows will not move up or down. This is a recurringroblem for jeep and we ask the company to recall and correct this matter. It should be taken care of by the company so they do not continue to lose the confidence of their costumers.
Rear window regulator failure at 52,000 miles dead bolting door.
My back drivers side window keeps sliding down. I was told it was the regulator. Thisis no longer covered under the warranty.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty. The contact stated the rear driver's side window regulator recurringly failed. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer to have the vehicle diagnosed where the dealer stated that the regulator clip was fractured. The regulator clip was repaired however, the failure recurred. The manufacture was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not further repaired. The failure mileage was 60,000.
2005 jeep libery rear driver side window regulator failure, resulting in loss of power window function and inability to keep window closed.regulator was replaced at cost to owner.at approx same time, rear window wiper motor failed, was not repaired due to cost.
As i was driving down the road my window just dropped into the door. I was driving my foster dog to adoptions. When i pulled over to see what happened he jumped out if the open window. Since then the only window that works is the driver side. Apparently this is an issue with the liberty. I thank god a child was not in the seat when the window went down. I have informed jeep but they do not care.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty. The contacted stated the rear passenger window regulator failed twice causing the window to become inoperable.the window regulator was replaced twice under warranty but the contact was concerned that the regulator would fail again because the dealer replaced the failure with another defective regulator.the manufacturer was contacted and advised that if the window regulator were to fail in the future, they would not assist with the repair. The failure mileage was 12,000 and the current mileage was 47,000. Updated 06/07/11*lj
The window regulator (power windows) decided to no longer hold up the window (it rarely gets used). Was partially down so i went to open the rear drivers side door and it would not open. I wanted to prop the window up which i was able to do with a suction cup. I have read many many complaints about this happening on these vehicles. Seems like a problem the manufacturer should have to repair via recall.
The window regulators continuously break.the windows creep down and cannot be rolled back up.often, the windows fall down into the door causing a potential safety hazard for children or pets that could fall out of a moving vehicle.there is also a considerable theft and safety opportunity as the window regulators break without notice, allowing someone to reach into the vehicle.the left rear window regulator in my vehicle has broken four times now (it happens approximately every nine months), and the right rear window has broken once.i have been told by the service repair technicians to expect the problem to continue to occur, as the plastic part that is being replaced has not been changed in design.this last time that the left rear window regulator broke, a thick metal cable lodged itself into the latch in the door.the rear left door could not be opened.this is an obvious safety hazard in the even of an accident as an emergency crew would not be able to get the door open, nor could a passenger get out if need be.
The driver side rear window failed and the window and the unlocking mechanism will not operate.when this failure occurs, the window will not raise and the door will not unlock.the replacement parts are the same as the original parts. The rear sided window and locking mechanism (regulator) has failed.the dealership told us that this is a known problem (defect) with these jeep liberties. It is just a matter of time until they fail again.these rear windows are not used very often, so we do not know when the next failure will occur.we have one year left on the extended warranty, but if an improved part is not used for the repairs, it will fail again.
I have a 2005 jeep liberty. I have had all 4 window regulators fail and 2 of them fail twice. I don't understand why there has not been a recall. I was just driving down the road one time and the rear window just fell down. I never ever even use the rear windows! please help!
Three out of four windows-loose and disconnected from window assembly. Possible dangers from tossed/flailing glass. One would think chrysler would be concerned with this safety issue with inferior parts and post recalls on defective window regulators and assist their clients for repairs of these part in order to avoid a possible disastrous situation.
Researching issues related to my 2005 jeep liberty (3.7 limited 4 x 4). Repeated electronic issues with windows - came across others with same issue.exactly how many repairs has jeep chrysler done on jeep liberties... Just thought you should know.it's not cheap - read info at: http://www.denlorstools.com/autoblog/2009/02/jeep-liberty-power-window-problems-diy-tips/.
Power window regulator defective.this plastic regulator breaks and the window drops down. This is a plastic part that has had numerous complaints.chrysler has even offered extended warranties on select model years on this part, yet has not acknowledged it as a defective part that cost consumers hundreds of dollars to replace as each regulator goes out one by one on your vehicle.this part needs to be replaced with a metal regulator.the average cost to replace this part is $300-$500 each time it fails!
The contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty.while driving 25 mph, the front passenger side window suddenly dropped into the door.the same failure occurred three weeks later with the rear driver's side window.the dealer stated that the windows needed to be replaced, but the contact cannot afford the repairs.she has not taken the vehicle back to the dealer and believes that a recall should be issued.the windows have not been repaired.the failure mileage was less than 70,000 and current mileage was 94,000.
The window regulator has recently quit working on three of the four windows on my 2005 jeep liberty. Without any warning, the windows just fell down. Because the regulator is not working, it is impossible to roll the windows back up. Until the vehicle is repaired, the only way to try and keep the windows closed is to tape them in place. I am extremely afraid someone will be able to gain access to the vehicle while it is parked and/or at a stop. The vehicle is truly not safe and secure as long as i cannot roll the windows up 100%.
The driver side rear window slides down without use of the window control - it will then not go up.during driving this condition causes wind to enter the vehicle making for a dangerous situation.
The vehicle windshield started to crack from the bottom of the windshield upward within 1,000 miles. Windshield cracks start below the wipers and run upwards. Informed that windshield may not have been glued properly and that windshield may have slid down during installation before glue was dry, resulting in windshield touching the chassis thereby causing cracks.
Right upper ball joint control arm collapsed while in the drive-through at mcdonald's could not move the car turn it or do anything it completely collapsed on the front right side due to corrosion of the lower ball joint and then i know this has been recalled however my car is not under the recall and i don't understand why because it was the same exact issue it's a jeep liberty
My front ball joint and control arm broke why driving down the road
2005 jeep liberty sport with 74,000 miles.front wheel bearings need replacement because of corrosion. If not replaced the wheels may fall off causing a serious accident that may lead to death.this issue was found inadvertently while getting an oil change.the vehicle does not drive any differently or make any particular noises that might alert the driver that there is a major problem.this particular vehicle was purchased brand new from the dealership in 2005 and has never been used as an off-road vehicle.this particular vehicle has been very well taken care of and should not be experiencing this problem.unfortunately, daimler chrysler is not addressing this problem with a recall.having the front wheel bearings replaced will cost upwards of $1000.00.
When driving over metal platesor small patches of ice front wheels lock and make steering impossible if brakes are being applied. This is happening at very low speed. I bought this jeep used.
This is the second incident on the same vehicle with the right front wheel falling off due to the five studs being sheared off. First incident was @ 104104mi and second at 152212mi. All mileage is highway mileage on the 4x4. No of-road rough treatment.
I got out of my car after a 20 minute drive from work and i could smell rubber burning. I stepped to the back of my jeep and could tell the smell was coming from the back driver side tire so i reached down and touched the wheel and it was so hot it burned by hand. It acted like the brake had locked while i was driving and working against my speed. This is an ongoing problem. Sometimes it acts completely fine and other times it will lock up again and all i can smell is burning rubbing and feel heat coming off the wheel without even touching it.
Constant grinding, squeaking with movement of steering wheel, was told it was ball joint and arm, also there was a recall about this...happens when driving.....was there a recall regarding this?
The contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty.the contact stated that the rear passenger side wheel does not disengage from the parked position; therefore, it caused the brake pad and rotor to overheat.the dealer replaced the brake pad and rotor several times; however, they were unable to diagnose the exact cause of the failure.each time the failure recurs, the rotor and brake pad are replaced.the manufacturer stated that the vehicle is out of warranty and informed the contact that if he is unhappy with the dealer, he should go to another dealer.the fuel system was unknown.the current mileage was 46,000 and failure mileage was 45,000.
Drivers side lower ball joint catastrophic failure with no warning signs evident except split boot(s). Separation/break from upper control arm, tie rod and steering assembly at low speed reverse. Nhtsa recall id: 06v288000 (daimler-chrysler notification code: f23) of lower ball joints performed by chrysler authorized dealer/repair station 2007.dealer contacted two (2) weeks prior to incident to coordinate possible re-repair and/or consideration of faulty oem parts used in original recall.
My son noticed the rear drivers tire not feeling good as he traveled on i-80 outside of lincoln, ne.he started loosing control and eventually lost control, the car rolled several times and came to rest upside down. He was still buckled in the seat.after looking over the car, the rear tires were broken off the car. The lug nuts still attached to the tire.he thinks the drivers rear tire came off first and that was what started the car out of control. The other rear tire was also off after he came to rest so he is not sure when that came off during the crash.the car is a total loss.geico is investigating the car to see if they can determine what took place.this just happened on 12/16/2016.
I purchased this liberty renegade in october of 2006 and have been experiencing problems with it since.the main symptom is that when it is (or has been) raining, there is a very loud humming noise that comes from the area of the wheels, especially when turning one direction or another.i had the recall work done on the lower ball joint and on the material of the brakes (twice) and the same symptom is happening.the reason i bought this vehicle was because i have to drive over snow covered mountains to get to air national guard duty, and i certainly do not feel very safe.i am going to have to take the car back for a 4th time and there are only 18.000 miles on it.
When i turn sharply both left and right the car stops, the wheels are hitting some bar under the vehicle.
