SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT
I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM JEEP ABOUT A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE LOWER BALL JOINT, I CALL MY DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT IT WOULD BE 3-4 MONTHS BEFORE THE PART CAME IN. 3-4 MONTHS I THEN CALLED DAIMLER CHRYSLER THEY SAID I COULD WAIT OR CALL OTHER DEALERS TO SEE HOW LONG THEIR WAIT IS. IT WAS THE SAME STORY WITH THEM. ON THE RECALL IT STATED IN BOLD LETTERS "THIS CAN CAUSE THE BALL JOINT TO CORRODE AND SEPARATE. BALL JOINT SEPARATION CAN RESULT IN A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND COULD CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. MY COMPLAINT IS I HAVE TO WAIT 3-4 MONTHS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WHILE THIS PLACES ME AND MY FAMILY AT RISK. *JB

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
FROM THE DATE I PICKED UP THE CAR, THE BRAKES GAVE OFF A "MOAN". THIS IS A RECOGNIZABLE NOISE, AS A BRAKE PROBLEM. THIS OCCURS MOSTLY IN COLDER WEATHER BUT IS LOUD AND PARTICULARLY EVIDENT WHEN I FIRST TAKE THE CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE IN THE MORNING WHEN BACKING UP. I HAVE HAD IT BACK TO THE DEALER AT LEAST 5 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER HAS WORKED WITH THE MANUFACTURER, CHANGES THE COMPONENTS TO NO AVAIL. THE MANUFACTURER HAS WASHED THEIR HANDS OF THE PROBLEM BUT THE NOISE IS STILL THERE. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:DIESEL, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
AFTER PURCHASING MY DIESEL JEEP I NOTICED A SHUDDERING IN THE TRANSMISSION AT ABOUT 55-65 MILES AN HOUR. CONSIDERABLY WORSE WITH YOU DECELERATE AFTER ACCELERATION. IN A CONSTRUCTION HOLD ON TRAFFIC MY VEHICLE IDLED FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. WHEN I WAS CLEARED TO MOVE FORWARD I PUT THE GEAR SELECTOR IN DRIVE. THE JEEP STALLED. IT TOOK ME A SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE MOTOR. I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AND HAVE COME UP WITH ONE ANSWER. AIR IS IN THE FUEL. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A JEEP DEALER IN OZARK ALABAMA AND IN DOTHAN ALABAMA. CHRYSLER TELLS THEM THAT THE AIR IN MY FUEL SYSTEM IS OK. I DEMAND TO KNOW WHAT IS A SAFE LEVEL OF AIR ALLOWED IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. NO ONE HAS MEASURED THE AMOUNT OF AIR IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. PLEASE TELL ME SO I CAN HAVE IT MEASURED BECAUSE I HAVE VOLUMES. I AM AFRAID IT WILL STALL OUT ON ME AGAIN. I HAVE HAD A FEW CLOSE CALLS WHEN THE JEEP HESITATED AND CHOKED AFTER A LONG LIGHT AND A TRAIN CROSSING, *JB

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT
(1) FRONT RIGHT SIDE OF JEEP LIBERTY DROPPED DOWN ON TIRE (2) TIRE WAS FLAT AND JEEP RAN OFF ROAD (3) INVESTIGATOR ONLY LOOKED FOR OPEN POT-HOLE OR CONSTRUCTION AND DID NOT LOOK FOR ANY DEFECTIVE SITUATION. BALL JOINT DEFECT WAS REPORTED TO PUBLIC OVER 5 MONTHS LATER. I KEPT THE TIRE WHICH HAS UNUSUAL SLICING THROUGH THE INSIDE EDGE WITH A FEW PENETRATIONS WITHIN THAT AREA AND ALL PERFECTLY LINED UP WITH EACH OTHER. I TOOK PICTURES OF THE TIRE ASSEMBLY AREA IN CASE THERE WOULD BE ANY INDICATION OF FAULTY PARTS. INVESTIGATOR ONLY SITED TIRE HIT SOMETHING AND BLEW OUT AS TOLD TO ME BY THE STATE FARM CLAIM AGENT. FOLLOW-UP OF THIS CASE WAS REJECTED BY SAME CLAIM AGENT BECAUSE BALL JOINT IS NOT AVAILABLE TO INSPECT. MY COMPLAINT TO THEM SAYING THEY ARE NOT REVIEWING THE EVIDENCE I DID SHOW THEM INCLUDING PICTURES FROM THE SCENE WHICH I STILL THINK SHOW IF THEIR WAS A FAILURE OF THIS NATURE OR NOT. THEY HAVE ANOTHER CLAIMS AGENT LOOKING INTO IT NOW. UNTIL THEY FOLLOW THIS UP I CONSIDER THIS ACCIDENT TO BE FALSELY REPORTED TO YOUR AGENCY. *NM

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:TORQUE CONVERTER
I AM THE OWNER OF A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED THE NEW VEHICLE THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. AT THAT TIME THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WAS SAID TO BE REPAIRED. SINCE THAT FAILURE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT RUNNING PROPERLY: THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DID NOT SEEM TO BE SHIFTING SMOOTHLY. FOR THE NEXT 8 MONTHS I TRIED TO HAVE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPAIR THE PROBLEM BUT THEY DID NOT, THE TOLD ME THE "PROBLEM" WAS NORMAL. IN JANUARY 2007, I NOTICED THE PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION WAS GETTING WORSE. I HAD TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR MORE THAN NORMAL TO GET THE CAR TO SHIFT AFTER MAKING A STOP. THE CAR WOULD THEN JERK INTO GEAR WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE ACCELERATOR AND I WOULD SPEED UP MORE THAN WAS SAFE. THE FINAL INCIDENT WAS WHEN I WAS ACCELERATING TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER A STOP AND THE CAR JERKED INTO GEAR ALONG WITH MAKING A CLUNKING SOUND. BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE, WHEN THE CAR JERKED INTO GEAR I WAS SENT OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THANK GOODNESS THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I DROVE TO THE NEAREST SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS QUICKLY DIAGNOSED AS A TORQUE CONVERTER PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS IN FOR REPAIRS FOR 22 DAYS BEFORE I GOT IT BACK. PARTS WERE REPLACED IN THE TRANSMISSION BUT ONLY AFTER APPROVAL FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING A LITTLE BETTER BUT IT IS STILL NOT RUNNING LIKE IT WAS WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM CAN BE DEADLY AND I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. *NM

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
MY WIFE CONTACTED ME THIS MORNING COMPLAINING THE JEEP WOULDN'T START. I WALKED TO WHERE SHE WAS AND CHECKED OUT THE ENGINE. I NOTICED FUEL AROUND THE FUEL FILTER MOUNT; I BLED THE FUEL SYSTEM AND THE VEHICLE STARTED. I GOT IT HOME AND CHECK A LITTLE FURTHER AND NOTICED FUEL LEAKING OUT OF THE FUEL HEATER PLUG. I UNPLUGGED IT AND A SMALL AMOUNT OF FUEL DUMPED OUT. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND HAD THEM ORDER THE PART. THE TECHNICIAN SAID IT'S OK TO DRIVE THE JEEP UNTIL NEXT WEEK WHEN THE PART ARRIVES. *NM EMAIL UPDATE (6/25/2007): "...MY REPLACEMENT HEATER IS OVERHEATING AND LEAKING AGAIN."

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
DESCRIPTION : THE VEHICLE IS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY 4X4 EQUIPPED WITH THE 2.8L CRD (DIESEL ENGINE). FROM AN INTERSECTION AT A COMPLETE STOP, I PROCEEDED TO TURN LEFT INTO ANOTHER STREET. I ACCELERATED TO APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST. ALL POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE BEGAN TO HESITATE AND THE VEHICLE COULD NOT GO FASTER THAN 5 MPH. IT COULD ONLY LIMP ALONG AT THIS SPEED WHILE I ATTEMPTED TO GET OFF THE ROAD. THIS CREATED A SERIOUS CONDITION FOR OTHER DRIVERS TO ATTEMPTING TO AVOID MY VEHICLE UNTIL I COULD REACH A SECTION A THAT ALLOWED ME TO PULL-OFF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE THEN STALLED WHEN I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER A FEW MINUTES, AND IT RAN IN A NORMAL MANNER. I SUBSEQUENTLY CONTINUED MY TRIP WITHOUT ANY OTHER INCIDENTS. THIS IS A VERY DISCONCERTING DEFECT BECAUSE IT EXHIBITS NO SIGNS THAT ALLOW THE OPERATOR TO TAKE PREVENTATIVE ACTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE ACCIDENT DURING ROAD USE. *NM

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:TORQUE CONVERTER
I OWN A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY CRD (DIESEL) I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY JEEP DRIVING SAFE NOW SINCE I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IN JAN 2006. MY TRUCK WILL SHUTTER AND ALMOST STALL ON A DAILY BASIS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. AND BACK IN MAY 2006 MY WHOLE TRUCK STOPPED DEAD ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY AND WENT INTO A "LIMP" MODE BRINGING ME FROM A 45 MPH SPEED TO ABOUT 2-3 MPH IN A SECOND. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND HAVE FOUND THAT THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE IN A FAULTY TORQUE CONVERTER IN THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE MEET SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET AND IN PERSON THAT HAVE ALL HAD THE SAME ISSUES. I HAVE TOLD MY DEALER ABOUT THIS WITH 0 OUTCOME OF A FIX, THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THE TRANSMISSION, BUT THIS HAS NOT HELPED EITHER. I ONLY HOPE THAT THE ISSUE DOES NOT HAPPEN WHILE IM ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MY WIFE, WITH THE SUDDEN SPEED LOSS AND LOCK UP OF MY REAR WHEELS I COULD ONLY HOPE THE CARS BEHIND ME COULD STOP IN TIME, COULD A LARGE SEMI THOUGH? THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS ISSUE AND ONLY DOING A SHORT INTERNET SEARCH WILL PROVE THIS. JUST SEARCH FOR LIBERTY CRD LOST TORQUE CONVERTER AND SEE WHAT YOU FIND. I HOPE THAT JEEP WILL HAVE A BETTER SOLUTION SOON FOR THIS. *JB

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY ON THE INTERSTATE. THE POWER STEERING FAILED AS I WAS EXITING THE EXPRESSWAY. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER INFORMED TOLD ME THAT HE KNEW ABOUT THE "JEEP LIBERTY" PROBLEM. THAT HE IS CURRENTLY PICKING UP AT LEAST 1 JEEP LIBERTY PER DAY DUE TO FAILED POWER STEERING. HE MENTIONED THAT HE THOUGHT THAT THE CURRENT DESIGN CAUSES THE BELT TO JUST SLIP OFF. HE THEN RAISED THE HOOD AND SHOWED ME THAT THE BELT WAS INTACT BUT JUST OFF AND WAS LYING ON ANOTHER PART OF THE ENGINE. HE MENTIONED THAT THE DEALER SHOULD SEE AND REPAIR THE PROBLEM; HOWEVER IT MAY COME OFF AGAIN. HE TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS THAT SAME PROBLEM THAT HE WAS SEEING WITH THE OTHER JEEPS THAT HE IS TOWING, THE BELT JUST SLIPS OFF. I DO NOT MAKE MANY ROAD TRIPS, JUST BACK AND FORTH TO WORK AND MY DAUGHTER'S VOLLEYBALL PRACTICE. WE WERE RETURNING FROM VOLLEYBALL AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. HE SUGGESTED THAT I INFORM THE DEALER OF OUR CONVERSATION, AND ALSO SUGGESTED THAT I REQUEST AN INQUIRY. BEING SUNDAY EVENING THE DEALER WAS CLOSED. I PLAN TO BE AT THE DEALER TOMORROW MORNING. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BACK UP LIGHTS
I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS RELATED TO THE BACK LIGHTS ON MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY RENEGADE 4X4 VEHICLE. I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW WITH NO MILES ON IT. RECENTLY, THE GAS PUMP WAS LEAKING AND A VALVE WAS INSTALLED TO STOP THE OIL FROM LEAKING. THE BACK LIGHT RACK HAD TO BE REPLACED TWICE IN TWO MONTHS. THE BACK LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT NUMEROUS OF TIMES. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2003 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT AND I WAS RECENTLY DRIVING IT WHEN THE ENTIRE SYSTEM COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT RESTARTED AND I WENT A LITTLE FURTHER AND IT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AGAIN. I LOST POWER TO STEERING AND WAS FORTUNATELY ABLE TO GUIDE IT OFF THE MAIN HIGHWAY WITHOUT ANY POWER. IT WOULD NOT CONTINUE RUNNING AFTER THAT. IT WOULD START BUT THEN SHUT DOWN RIGHT OFF. I ENDED UP HAVING IT TOWED TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP WHERE I FOUND OUT TWO SENSORS IN THE COMPUTER HAD GONE BAD. I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE THE SENSORS REPLACED IN ADDITION TO THE TOW. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I HAD BEEN ON AN INTERSTATE GOING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND THOSE SENSORS WOULD HAVE GONE BAD CAUSING ME TO LOSE POWER IN TRAFFIC. I WONDER IF SOME FATALITIES AND INJURIES HAVE RESULTED FROM THIS SITUATION WITH OTHER VEHICLES. I THINK ITS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND JEEP SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED TO SEE IF THEY ARE USING DEFECTIVE SENSORS IN THE JEEP LIBERTY. I ONLY HAVE 65 THOUSAND MILES ON THIS VEHICLE AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT TAKING IT ON ANY LENGTHY TRIPS. I FEEL ITS A DANGER ON THE HIGHWAYS WITH THESE SENSORS. *NM
