FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
THIS PROBLEM PERTAINS TO THE 2006 JEEP LIBERTY CRD 2.8L DIESEL. UNDER ACCELERATION FROM 55 MPH TO 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WOULD NOT GO OVER 3,000 RPM. WHEN THE VEHICLE SLOWED TO 45 MPH, IT WOULD NOT INCREASE SPEED, EFFECTIVELY IN A "LIMP-IN MODE" . AFTER THE VEHICLE STOPPED, THE ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES THEN RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE TRAVELED FOR APPROXIMATELY 5-7 MILES WITH NO PROBLEMS THEN THE INCIDENT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE JEEP DEALER WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND AFTER TWO WEEKS THE DEALER BASICALLY GAVE UP TRYING TO FIX THE CAR. THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN FIXED AND AS I SCAN THE INTERNET I FIND THIS IS A COMMON YET DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, THE GAS SPEWS FROM THE FILLER NECK WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER THE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF AUTOMATICALLY OR IF I SHUT IT OFF MANUALLY TO TRY TO PREVENT IT FROM SPEWING OUT. THIS HAPPENS NO MATTER WHICH GAS STATION I FILL UP AT, WHETHER IT'S NEAR HOME OR OUT OF TOWN. I HAVE DRIVEN MANY, MANY MAKES OF AUTOMOBILES SINCE 1956 (THAT'S 56 YEARS) AND THIS IS THE FIRST VEHICLE THAT EVER GAVE ME THIS PROBLEM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP LIBERTY, THE WIPERS AND HORN CAME ON SUDDENLY AND THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL PANEL LIT UP. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, THEY FINALLY DETERMINED IT WAS THE TIPM MODULE THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE PART WAS BACKORDERED. I HAVE SINCE FOUND THERE IS A NATIONAL BACKORDER (SINCE 2010) WITH OVER 270+ IN MY AREA ALONE. THE ISSUE BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AS I WOULD GET IN MY CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START. UNLOCKING THE VEHICLE APPEARS TO CAUSE THE AUTOMOBILE TO ENGAGE SOMETHING ELECTRICAL (THOUGH I ONLY OPEN IT MANUALLY - NOT WITH THE KEYLESS ENTRY) WHICH RESULTS IN THE VEHICLE ACTING AS THOUGH IT IS ALREADY ON. MOST RECENTLY, WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 70MPH, I HAD A JOLT BEFORE THE WIPERS/HORN WENT OFF AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON. I BELIEVE THE SYSTEM IS NOW ENGAGING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I HAVE DISCONTINUED DRIVING THE VEHICLE AS A RESULT. I BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE IS A LEMON. THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. *TR

STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR BUT THE STARTER WOULDN'T TURN OVER. I CHECKED THE FUSES AND RELAYS FOR THE IGNITION SYSTEM, AND EVERYTHING WAS OK. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN HAD TO BE REPLACED, BECAUSE 2 TABS WHICH HELD THE IGNITION SWITCH WERE BROKEN. I'VE SEARCHED ONLINE SITES AND FIND THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING COLUMN AND IGNITIONS SWITCHES ON THE JEEP LIBERTY. COST OF THIS "MINOR" REPAIR $600 PLUS TOWING. MILEAGE 82K. *TR
