ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THE DISPLAY LIGHT FOR THE "GATE" COMES ON, EVEN THOUGH THE GATE IS CLOSED. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS COME ON AS WELL. IF MY CAR IS LOCKED, THE ALARM WILL SOUND. APPARENTLY THERE IS SOME ISSUE WITH THE CENSOR IN THE LATCH. THIS IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF 2010 JEEP LIBERTY'S. WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE GATE LIGHT CAME ON, ALONG WITH THE INTERIOR LIGHTS, HOWEVER, THE GATE WAS CLOSED. *THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED - MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED/SHUT OFF; *THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED - I WAS DRIVING ME VEHICLE.

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ALL OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS ARE ON. SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER, GPS, AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK, REMOTE START, CRUISE CONTROL, NONE OF THAT WORKS. TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHTS ARE CONSTANTLY FLASHING DIFFERENT PRESSURES. EVERYTHING LIGHTS UP UPON STARTING AND STAYS ON WHILE MOVING UNTIL IT'S TURNED OFF. THIS INITIALLY HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, AND MY FIRST REACTION WAS THAT I DIDN'T HAVE ANY BRAKES. IT WAS QUITE FRIGHTENING. SUBSEQUENT TO THAT THE LIGHTS WOULD GO ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY, BUT AFTER A FEW MONTHS THEY ARE NOW PERMANENTLY ON. THE DASHBOARD ALSO MAKES A PING NOISE EVERY MINUTE OR SO. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2017 AND THIS HAD NOT BEEN A PROBLEM UNTIL A FEW MONTHS AGO. THE KNOWN DANGER IS IN NOT KNOWING HOW FAST I AM GOING. THE UNKNOWN DANGER IS COULD THE BRAKES AT SOME POINT NOT WORK, OR IF I BECOME INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WILL THE AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOY OR WILL THE ENGINE AT SOME POINT JUST STOP RUNNING. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT COULD BE A FAULTY TIPM. I ALSO HAVE A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY THAT DOES NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER IT SUFFERS FROM THE SAME DASHBOARD RANDOM PING NOISE.

MY 2004 JEEP LIBERTY IS NEEDING NEW BALL JOINTS PLACED ALONG WITH THE UPPER CONTROL ARMS. I DID SEE WHERE A RECALL WAS PLACED FOR MOST 2002-2006 MODELS. IS THIS VALID AND POSSIBLY COVERED ON MY VEHICLE? VEHICLE NOT DRIVING PROPERLY AND HAS BEEN CHECKED BY MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE STATES THAT THE LOWER BALL JOINTS ARE IN VERY BAD CONDITION.

OUR 2008 JEEP LIBERTY HAS A DEFECTIVE SKY SLIDER ROOF. DESPITE BEING PROPERLY MAINTAINED, IT HAS JUMPED THE TRACKS AND HAD TO BE FORCED CLOSED. WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY IF IT DOES NOT REMAIN CLOSED WHILE DRIVING. WE HAVE CONTACTED JEEP WHO REFUSES TO HELP. AFTER READING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE, WE ARE QUESTIONING WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL AS THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND CAN LEAVE OWNERS UNABLE TO USE THEIR VEHICLES.

POWER TRAIN
WENT TO MY MECHANIC A FEW WEEKS AGO AND HE TOLD ME THAT MY FRONT DRIVE SHAFT IS BROKEN. HE DID NOT SEE ANY PHYSICAL DAMAGE AS TO WHY IT BROKE. WHEN WE WERE RESEARCHING PRICES FOR DRIVE SHAFTS WE NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT IN 2013. WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN FEB 2013 AND NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WE WERE LEAVING FOR A TRIP AND GOT ABOUT 200 FEET FROM OUR FRONT DOOR AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED GOING ON THEIR OWN, THERE WAS WINDSHIELD FLUID COMING OUT AND THE HORN WAS HONKING. THE CAR WAS RUNNING BUT WE WERE AT A STOP. WE SHUT THE CAR OFF AND STARTED IT BACK UP AND IT STOPPED. WE STARTED OUR TRIP AND REALIZED THAT THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET NO LONGER WOULD STAY ON AND THE DOORS WOULD NOT OPERATE WITH THE REMOTE. WE STOPPED AT AN AUTO PARTS STORE TO USE THEIR CODE CHECKER AND WE GOT A READ ERROR AND THE CAR NEVER STARTED AGAIN. WE WERE 70 MILES FROM HOME, COST US $300 TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED. WE HAD THE TIPM REPLACED FOR A MERE $840, THE DOORS STILL DO NOT OPERATE WITH THE REMOTE AND IT IS BACK IN THE SHOP. VERY FRUSTRATED AT THIS POINT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
SINCE I BOUGHT MY JEEP ALMOST ONE MONTH AGO I'VE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR HATCH ACTUATOR TONIGHT ( 4 WEEKS AFTER REPLACING IT) MY CAT IS GIVING ME SAME ERROR MESSAGE THAT THE REAR GATE IS OPEN AND ALARM GOES OFF BY ITSELF. PANIC BUTTON DOESN'T TURN IT OFF SO APPARENTLY IT'S NOT THE ALARM DISGAGING. I GO OUT TO CAR OPEN AND CLOSE MAKE SURE IT'S PROPERLY SEALED AND HORN GOES OFF AGAIN. THIS IS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS. AM I GOING TO DROP 400.00 ON MY CAR ONCE A MONTH TO BE ABLE TO LOCK MY CAR OR HAVE MY DASH LIGHTS IN WHILE I DRIVE AT NIGHT OR IS THAT TO MUCH TO ASK OF JEEP?

THE BRACKET THAT IS RIVETED TO THE SEAT FRAME/PAN AND BOLTED TO THE SEAT BACK FRACTURED INTO TWO PIECES. THE BRACKET ON EACH SIDE OF THE FRAME FAILED UNDER NORMAL USE CONDITIONS. I PURCHASED A REPLACEMENT USED FRAME AND UPON DID-ASSEMBLY DISCOVERED THE SAME FAILURE. THIS COULD BE A FATAL CONDITION IN A CRASH, ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE REAR SEAT.

MY REAR LOWER CONTROL ARM HAS EROSION FROM EXCESSIVE SALT, TO WHERE IT IS BROKEN ALMOST IN HALF, AND THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL FOR THIS L27 HOW EVER THIS IS STATE SPECIFIC AND KANSAS ISN'T INCLUDED IN THIS. I AM NOT SURE WHY KANSAS IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL WHEN WE HAVE SNOW AND THE ROADS ARE SALTED JUST AS MUCH AS SOME OF THE OTHER STATES INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE REPAIRED THIS ON CARS UNDER THE RECALL AND WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO MY CAR IS EXACTLY WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO CARS THEY HAVE REPAIRED. FOR THIS NOT TO BE INCLUDED IS RIDICULOUS AND A SAFETY HAZARDOUS, AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING IF THIS WAS TO BREAK COMPLETELY.
