2 JEEP LIBERTY'S- BOTH ENGINE MAKING LOUD KNOCKING NOISE, WITHIN A MONTH OF EACH OTHER. TOOK THEM IN FOR REPAIR. TOLD BOTH NEED NEW ENGINES.

BOTH JEEPS AROUND 130,000 MILES. BASED ON INTERNET TRAFFIC COMPLAINTS, DISCUSSIONS WITH REPAIR MECHANICS, AND THE PRICING ON REPLACEMENT ENGINES, THERE IS A EVIDENT PROBLEM AND A RECALL IS IN ORDER FROM JEEP. *TR

LEFT TRAILER ARM ALSO SHOWED SIGNS OF CORROSION AND IS VERY WEAK. WAS ABOUT 2 MILES FROM GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR. COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), UNKNOWN OR OTHER
IT WAS LIGHT TO MEDIUM RAIN WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WHERE TRAFFIC TOOK OFF AND HAD TO STOP SOON AFTER. AS SOON AS I HIT MY BRAKES THE ABS KICKED IN INCREASING THE STOPPING DISTANCE OF MY JEEP CAUSING ME TO REAR END ANOTHER VEHICLE. AT THE SAME TIME THE ABS BRAKE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL BRAKE LIGHT AND STABILITY CONTROL LIGHTS ALL CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME AND REMAINED LIT. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND WAS TOLD THIS WASN'T A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND TO BRING IT ON MONDAY (I CALLED FRIDAY MORNING). THE FIRST TIME THE DEALER CORRECTED THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING THE BRAKE SWITCH AND THE TAIL LIGHT LAMP SWITCH. AS I WAS LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP, LESS THAN A MILE AWAY, ALL OF THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. THEY CORRECTED IT AGAIN, SO I PICKED IT UP AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN TWO DAYS LATER. IN THE MEAN TIME WHENEVER IT IS A MEDIUM RAIN OR ABOVE OR IT HAS BEEN RAINING FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME THE ABS BRAKES PREMATURELY ACTIVATE. THE JEEP WAS INSPECTED BY CHRYSLER ENGINEERS WHO STATE IT DOES NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS, AND WILL NOT FIX THE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. *TT

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
THE WINDOW REGULATOR HAS BROKEN IN BOTH OF MY REAR WINDOWS MULTIPLE TIMES. IT BROKE IN THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW ON: JAN. 2005, JUN. 2008, JAN. 2010, & OCT. 2011. IT HAS ALSO BROKEN IN THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE WINDOW ON: SEPT. 2005; DEC. 2007; SEPT. 2009; OCT. 2010; & JAN. 2012. THAT WOULD BE A TOTAL OF 9 TIMES. OBVIOUSLY THE PART THAT IS BEING USED IS INFERIOR SINCE IT CONTINUALLY BREAKS AND AT BEST LASTS AROUND 2 YEARS. I HAVE CALCULATED THAT THIS PART HAS COST ME A GRAND TOTAL OF $1,295. JEEP HAS OFFERED ASSISTANCE IN PAYING FOR THE REPAIRS BUT I HAVE ALWAYS HAD SOME FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE WHEN THE PART MALFUNCTIONS THE WINDOW SLIDES ALL THE WAY INTO THE DOOR. THIS COULD BE A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE IF I HAD YOUNG CHILDREN RIDING IN THE BACKSEAT. I FEEL LIKE JEEP IS USING A SUBSTANDARD PART SO THEY CAN CONTINUE TO MAKE MONEY OFF OF ME. *TT
