STRUCTURE
HAVE A JEEP LIBERTY 2012 WITH RETRACTABLE ROOF. HAVE HAD LEAKING PROBLEMS SINCE I'VE OWNED THE JEEP. IT IS NOW IN THE ELECTRICAL AND HOPING IT DOESN'T CATCH FIRE OR SOMETHING. THEY HAVE TRIED TO FIX, THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEY ONLY MADE ONE YEAR OF THE LIBERTY WITH THE RETRACTABLE ROOF BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. MY WORRY IS THAT NOW IT'S IN THE ELECTRICAL PART OF THE JEEP. IS THIS A SAFETY ITEM? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY VEHICLE MADE A LOUD POPPING SOUND THAT SOUNDED LIKE IT CAME THROUGH THE STEREO SYSTEM. I NOTICED ALL POWER TO MY CAR WENT OUT. THE RADIO, LIGHTS, DASH, HEADLIGHTS, EVERYTHING SHUT OFF. I WENT AND TRIED EVERYTHING. I THOUGHT MAYBE A FUSE HAD BLOWN, NOT THE CASE. I REPLACED HEAD LAMPS, AND THE LIGHTS STILL DIDN'T WORK. I CHANGED MY STEERING SWITCH OUT AND HAVE SINCE FIGURED OUT IT MUST BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE? I HAVE READ MANY MANY PAGES ABOUT PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE OR VERY SIMILAR. I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE THE VEHICLE AT THIS TIME BECAUSE I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN IT AND ITS NOT STREET SAFE. *TR

SEAT BELTS
THE UPPER MOUNTING NUT FOR THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER SEAT BEAT SHOULDER LOOP IS PRONE TO SHEAR OFF THE MOUNTING PLATE THE NUT IS WELDED TO INSIDE THE C-PILLAR. THIS CAN HAPPEN ANYTIME THE UPPER SEAT BELT LOOP IS SERVICED. I HAD THIS HAPPEN TO MY VEHICLE WHEN INSTALLING THE MOPAR TRAILER TOW WIRE HARNESS. THE INSTALL OF THE WIRE HARNESS CALLS FOR THE REMOVAL OF THE RIGHT REAR INTERNAL TRIM PANEL AND THE UPPER RIGHT REAR PASSENGER SEAT BELT MOUNT. TO REMOVAL THE UPPER SEAT BELT BOLT I HAD USED A T47 BIT SOCKET ON 3/8" RATCHET HANDLE. WHILE REMOVING THE SEAT BELT BOLT, THE BOLT STARTED TO SPIN FREELY AND NOT BE ABLE TO BE REMOVED. I HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC FOR ADVICE AND THEY SAID TAKE IT TO A BODY SHOP. ABRA AUTO BODY IN MADISON, WI HAD PLACED A CAMERA INSIDE THE RIGHT REAR C-PILLER TO FIND THE REASON FOR THE BOLT SPINNING FREELY. ABRA HAD FOUND THAT THE INTERNAL SEAT BELT NUT HAD BROKEN FREE FROM WELDS THAT HOLD THE NUT TO THE RIGHT REAR C-PILLAR. THAT FACT THAT I WAS ABLE TO HAVE THIS SEAT BELT BOLT NUT BREAK FROM ITS WELDS WITH JUST SMALL HAND TOOLS CONCERNS ME THAT THE ENTIRE JEEP LIBERTY FLEET IS PRONE TO REAR PASSENGER SEAT BELT MOUNT POINT FAILURES DURING A CRASH. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM THE GROCERY STORE, THE DOME LIGHTS AND GATE OPEN WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. SINCE IT WAS AFTER DARK, THE LIGHT FROM THE DOME LIGHT WAS BLINDING AND MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND CHECKED THE TAILGATE. THE TAILGATE AND WINDOW WERE BOTH FIRMLY LATCHED. WHEN STARTING TO DRIVE AGAIN, IT WENT OUT BUT ALMOST IMMEDIATELY CAME BACK ON. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABOUT A MILE FROM HOME AND MADE IT HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. THIS SHOULD BE REPORTED TO THE NHTSA AS A POTENTIAL CRASH PROBLEM AS THE BRIGHT LIGHT SUDDENLY COMING ON COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I KNOW THERE ARE SOME OTHER ELECTRICAL RECALLS FOR THIS MODEL AND YEAR JEEP AND THIS SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE LIST. *TR

SUSPENSION, SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
I MANAGE AN EMISSIONS TESTING BUSINESS A WOMAN CAME IN WITH A 2007 JEEP LIBERTY FOR A SMOG CHECK. DURING THE ASM TEST, WHERE I HAVE TO DRIVE THE CAR ON THE DYNAMOMETER, IT HOPS OFF THE DYNO, GOING THROUGH THE PRECAUTIONS I TAKE FOR A REAR-WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE(PLACING A SHOCK IN FRONT OF THE FRONT WHEELS), AND CRASHES INTO THE WALL, DAMAGING MYSELF AND $5,000 WORTH OF EQUIPMENT. ALSO, THE CAR KEPT ON ACCELERATING INTO THE WALL, EVEN WHEN PUSHING ON THE BRAKES AS HARD I COULD SO THAT'S WHEN I SHIFTED IT INTO PARK AND ENGAGED THE HANDBRAKE. OBVIOUSLY, THIS CAR HAS SOME MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH IT. AT FIRST, I LOOKED ONLINE AND THE YEAR AND MODEL HAD NUMEROUS RECALLS ON IT, INCLUDING THE REAR SUSPENSION, AND BRAKES LOCKING UP, WHICH I BELIEVED HAD HAPPENED IN MY CASE. (HTTP://WWW.MOTORTREND.COM/CARS/2007/JEEP/LIBERTY/RECALLS/), BUT AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WASN'T ANY MAJOR RECALLS ISSUED ON IT, WHICH IS WHY IM FILING THIS COMPLAINT AFTER SMOGGING HUNDREDS OF CARS, THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME UNTIL THAT DAY. *TR
