SUSPENSION
REAR CONTROL ARM FAILED. CHRYSLER WILL NOT FIX REAR CONTROL ARM BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS REGISTERED IN SOUTH DAKOTA. THE REAR CONTROL ARM ON THIS VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR VEHICLES IN OTHER STATE BECAUSE OF THE SALT ON THE ROADS DURING WINTER DRIVING. SOUTH DAKOTA HAS THE SAME SALT ON ROADS AS MINNESOTA AND IOWA (STATES LISTED ON THE RECALL) AND SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. *TR

POWER TRAIN
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 THE VEHICLE 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. *TR

MY FRONT AIR BAGS NEVER WENT OFF. SHOULDN'T THEY HAVE? I'VE SINCE FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT I DID NOT OWN THE CAR AT THE TIME. DO I HAVE A CLAIM? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
I WAS LEAVING MY BANK AND ENTERED MY VEHICLE AND PROCEEDED TO START IT WITH MY KEY. MY KEY TURNED AND WOULD NOT START MY VEHICLE. MY BATTERY IS ABOUT A 1 MONTH OLD AND I CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS A LOOSE CONNECTION OR CORROSION (CONNECTION TIGHT AND NO CORROSION). I CHECKED ALL FLUIDS (FINE), I JUST HAD OIL, OIL FILTER AND BREATHER FILTER CHANGED A FEW WEEKS AGO AND THEY CHECK ALL FLUIDS. I TURNED LITES, WIPERS, TURN SIGNALS AND RADIO ON (WORKED FINE), HORN WORKED. WITH MY KEY IN THE IGNITION, I HAD NO PROBLEM TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. I OPENED MY DRIVER'S DOOR AND SAW IT SHOW UP AS "DOOR" ON THE DASH PANEL AND NOTICED ENGINE LITE ON. I DEPRESSED AND HELD BRAKE PEDAL DOWN AND WAS ABLE TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND BACK TO PARK WITH NO PROBLEM. I HAD A FRIEND COME AND LOOK AT MY LIBERTY, AND HE CHECKED AND DID EVERYTHING I DID. WE BOTH THOUGHT IT WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH. I INFORMED THE BANK THAT I WAS HAVING CAR PROBLEMS AND HAVE TO LEAVE IT IN THEIR PARKING LOT OVER NITE. I HAD THE JEEP LIBERTY TOWED TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP IN STUART FLORIDA THE NEXT DAY (12/12/2012). THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE PIN IN THE IGNITION SWITCH BROKE OFF AND FELL INSIDE AND THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE STEERING COLUMN. AND IT WOULD COST OVER $1000.00. I WAS INFORMED THE NEXT DAY (12/13/2012) THAT THEY COULD NOT LOCATE A NEW STEERING COLUMN AND THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN WITH A USED ONE. NOW IT WILL COST $800.00. I RESEARCHED AND NOTICED THAT OTHER JEEP LIBERTY OWNERS HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. I HOPE I AM NOT BEING SCAMMED. MY JEEP LIBERTY HAS ABOUT 50000 MILES ON IT. AS I THINK ABOUT IT, WOULDN'T THE IGNITION SWITCH NEED TO BE REPLACED AND NOT THE WHOLE STEERING COLUMN? MY JEEP IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP AND I HOPE TO GET IT BACK ON 12/17/2012. *TR

POWER TRAIN
1) BACKED OUT OF DRIVEWAY AND THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO ENGAGE THEN SLAMMED INTO GEAR, 2) STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION PRESSED ON THE THROTTLE VEHICLE PAUSED AND THEN SLAMMED INTO GEAR (HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES)AND HAS CONTINUED THIS BEHAVIOR INTERMITTENTLY. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES. DEALER AND CHRYSLER STATE THAT THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE VEHICLE BEING ON AN INCLINE AND IT HAS AN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE AND TRANSMISSION STATE THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM AND THEY ARE NOT GOING TO FIX IT THE DEALERSHIP (ADVANTAGE CHRYSLER IN MOUNT DORA FLORIDA TOLD ME IF I DIDN'T LIKE THE RESPONSE TAKE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE. EACH TIME IT DOES THIS IT SLAMS INTO GEAR AND PUTS STRESS ON THE U JOINTS, DRIVE SHAFT, AND REAR END NOT TO MENTION THE DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION.
