FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
I HAVE A 2001 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. I WAS TOLD I WOULD NEED A NEW FUEL PUMP AND TANK. MY MECHANIC WENT TO THE WRECKING YARD AND FOUND A GOOD TANK, THE PUMP HOWEVER, HAD IT'S FILTER PIECES MISSING. THEY WERE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE TANK. WHEN THE MECHANICS TOOK OUT MY DAMAGED TANK, THE SAME WAS TRUE WITH MY FUEL FILTER. IT IS UNDER MY IMPRESSION THAT THIS 2 FOR 2 DISCOVERY MAY MEAN THERE IS A CLOSE TO 100% PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMPS.

PARKING BRAKE
MY 2004 JEEP LIBERTY WAS PARKED UNDER MY CARPORT. I HAD STARTED THE ENGINE TO WARM THE CAR, WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON. THERE WAS NO ONE AROUND THE CAR BUT MY DOGS, BUT SOMEHOW IT MANAGED TO ROLL DOWN THE DRIVEWAY INTO THE CORNER OF A BARN. THE DISTANCE WAS ABOUT 10 YARDS WITH AN INCLINE OF ABOUT 2 FEET, YET THER WAS OVER $3000.00 IN DAMAGE TO THE CAR. IT HIT RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THE GRILL/HOOD. I WAS VERY SURPRISED AS THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ON, HOWEVER ON INSPECTION, THERE WAS STILL ONE CLICK LEFT ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I HAVE TESTED THIS THEORY BY GETTING ON A HILL IN THE VEHICLE AND PULLING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. INDEED, IT DOES NOT HOLD THE VEHICLE UNTIL YOU REACH THE VERY LAST CLICK ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. JEEP DENIES ANY PRODUCT FLAW WHEN CONTACTED. I DISAGREE. I HATE TO THINK WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO ME IF I AM EVER IN A WRECK IF A ROLL WITH NO ACCELERATION CAN DAMAGE THE VEHICLE AT 25% OF ITS VALUE!

WHEELS, EQUIPMENT
ALLOY WHEELS CORRODED BY VALVE STEM, ACTUAL HOLES IN THEM. BOUGHT ONE NEW WHEEL FROM CHRYLSER AFTER COMPLAINING OF PROBLEM. IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING NEW TIRES, MY MECHANIC NOTICED ANOTHER WHEEL HAD A HOLE. I HAVE TO PURCHASE 4 NEW WHEELS, AND NEW 4 TIRES FOR MY LIBERTY AT 37000. TIRES WERE CONSTANTLY NEEDING AIR, AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO PULL, AND CAUSED EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR. YES I STILL HAVE THE SECOND WHEEL WITH THE HOLE IN IT. I GUESS I'LL FIND OUT IF THE OTHER TWO WHEELS HAVE HOLES WHEN MY NEW WHEELS COME IN. VERY DISCOURAGED!

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:OTHER FUEL TYPES:TURBO/SUPERCHARGER, STEERING:LINKAGES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2005 JEEP LIBERTY CRD WILL "SLING SHOT" ITSELF WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP WITH THE A/C ON. WHEN YOU START TO ACCELERATE MAKING A TURN FROM BEING STOPPED THE VEHICLE WILL START TO MOVE AND YOU CAN FEEL, HEAR THE ENGINE GAINING RPM BUT NOT MOVEMENT THEN A SUDDEN SLINGSHOT EFFECT WILL TAKE PLACE. THE SELLING DEALER SAID IT WAS NORMAL FOR A DIESEL ENGINE WITH A TURBO TO DO THIS. ALSO STATED IT WAS IN THE ELECTRONICS AND THERE WASN'T ANY THING THEY COULD DO TO REPAIR IT. I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT FOR A FACTORY BULLETIN TO COME OUT. THIS NEW VEHICLE PULLS TO THE RIGHT CONSTANTLY, I REQUESTED THE ALIGNMENT TO BE CORRECTED DURING THE SAME DEALERSHIP VISIT AS ABOVE. I WAS TOLD MY ALIGNMENT WAS CHECKED AND THERE WAS NO ABNORMAL TIRE WEAR SO IT MUST BE THE CROWN OF THE ROAD CAUSING THE PULL OR DRIFT. THIS VEHICLE ALSO SURGES WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ENGAGED AND YOU START UP AN INCLINE, IT WILL CONTINUE TO SURGE AS LONG AS THE INCLINE LASTS. AFTER PICKING THE VEHICLE UP AT THE DEALERSHIP TODAY I STARTED HOME AND ALL THREE OF THE FAULTS OCCURRED. I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SHOP FOREMAN WENT WITH ME , WHERE THE VEHICLE AGAIN ACTED UP. HE SAID THERE WAS NOT ANY THING THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE SURGING AND THE ALIGNMENT AND THE SLING SHOTTING WAS TURBO LAG. I HAVE NOT DIVEN THE VEHICLE ON WET OR SNOW COVERED PAVEMENT, HOWEVER, WITH WHAT DOES I NOT SURE I WANT TO.
