THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS CONSIST OF MY CAR NOT ABLE TO GO OVER 30 MPH, THE RPMS SHOOT UP TO 6 OR 7 AND WILL NOT COME DOWN, AND WHEN I TRY TO GO FASTER THAN 30 THE CAR JERKS AND SMELLS LIKE SOMETHING IS BURNING. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
WHEN IT'S COLD AND EITHER SNOWY OR ICY AT ANY SPEED "5 MPH -- 35 MPH MY JEEP LIBERTY FAILS TO STOP FOR A VERY LONG DISTANCE. AT 5 MPH IT TAKES WELL OVER 30-40 FEET. THE ABS MAKE NOISE LIKE THEY ARE TRYING TO DO SOMETHING. BUT ITS AS IF THEY NEVER ACTUALLY ENGAGE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD TO USE A SNOWY BANK SEVERAL TIMES SO I WOULDN'T ROLL STRAIGHT INTO AN INTERSECTION. THIS VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS SINCE I HAVE HAD IT. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN NUMEROUS TIMES AND TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG. MY FATHER DROVE THIS SAME VEHICLE AND HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO HIM. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. FOR SAFETY REASONS I LEAVE MY LIBERTY IN THE GARAGE ON SNOWY DAYS AND TAKE MY FORD TRUCK OUT INSTEAD. I DO NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE WITH MY TRUCK. *NM

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
