ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED MANUFACTURED OCT 23 2007 REFERENCE TO 14V567000 JEEP VEHICLES APRIL 3 2007 TO MAY 12 2008 IGNITION KEY (FOBIK) (EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MY CAR) THE IGNITION KEY (FOBIK) MAY NOT RETURN TO THE "ON" POSITION AFTER BEING ROTATED TO THE "START" POSITION, INSTEAD STICKING BETWEEN THE TWO POSITIONS. POTENTIALLY, WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN, THE IGNITION MAY INADVERTENTLY MOVE THROUGH THE "RUN" POSITION TO THE "ACCESSORY" OR "OFF" IGNITION POSITION, TURNING OFF THE ENGINE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING OFF AND ON FOR MORE THEN 3 MONTHS NOW. CONSEQUENCE SUMMARY: THE IGNITION STAYS BETWEEN "START" AND "ON" POSITIONS CAUSES LOSS OF CERTAIN ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS. ENGINES STOPS, STATER CONTINUES RUNNING, ALL THE DASH LIGHTS GO ON AND ETC. TALKING WITH CHRYSLER TODAY HAVE YET TO ADD JEEP 2008 LIMITED LIBERTY TO THEIR RECALL LIST. I'M WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MY CAR ADDED TO LIST IF THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO THIS SERIOUS PROBLEMS. THE DISCUSSING PART IT IS MY FAULT IF ANY SERIOUS ACCIDENTS HAPPENS AND I DID NOT HAVE CHRYSLER DO REQUIRED REPAIRS WITH CHARGING ME FOR IT. MY PROBLEM WITH THIS ANY REPAIR RECORD OF COULD BE LOST. ( THIS SEEMS TO BE THE TREND WITH SERIOUS PROBLEMS )

JEEP COMPLAINT CASE # 31436177. I AM HAVING A NO CRANK NO START ISSUE WITH BOGUS ERROR MESSAGE THAT READS TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THREE DIFFERENT PLACES AND NO ONE CAN IDENTIFY WHY THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START OR FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION OR WIRING....... THAT IS CAUSING THIS ISSUE. THE JEEP STARTED HAVING THIS ISSUE INTERMITTENTLY IN FEBRUARY 2017 AND NOW IT WILL NOT START AT ALL AS OF APRIL 2017. ELECTRICAL MECHANIC IS BAFFLED AND CAN NOT FIND ANY THING WRONG WITH THE JEEP EVEN THOUGH IT DOES NOT START AT ALL ANYMORE. SINCE FEBRUARY 2017 AFTER THIS ISSUE STARTED I HAVE HAD THE COMPUTER UPDATED TO FIX THE PROBLEM, I HAVE HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM, I HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES AND TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGED OUT TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND STILL THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START INTERMITTENTLY AND NOW WILL NOT START AT ALL AS OF A WEEK AND A HALF AGO. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT IT MIGHT BE THE KEY NOT BEING RECOGNIZED BY THE JEEP AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPROGRAMMED BUT THIS IS NOT THE ISSUE EITHER. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST ISSUE I HAVE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE EITHER. I ALSO HAD THE WIRING HARNESS CATCH FIRE INSIDE THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR BOOT SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE THAT CAUSED WINDOWS, LOCKS....... NOT TO FUNCTION AND HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH WATER POURING IN FROM DRAINS FROM THE SUNROOF FLOODING THE VEHICLE AND RUINING THE CARPET ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE ALSO CAUSING A MOLD SMELL.

TIRE VALVE STEM CORROSION. TIRE VALVE STEMS CORRODE AND BREAK OFF VERY EASILY. LUCKY FOR ME THE VALVE STEM BROKE OFF WHILE I WAS PARKED AND FILLING THE TIRE AND NOT WHILE I WAS DRIVING. COULD CAUSE SERIOUS PROBLEM IF IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING CAUSING THE TIRE TO LOOSE AIR PRESSURE RAPIDLY. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR MY MAKE AND MODEL JEEP. I REPLACED ALL OF MY VALVE STEMS FOR SAFETY PURPOSES AND THEY COST $107.00 WITH PARTS, LABOR AND TAX AT A JEEP DEALERSHIP. BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON IT DUE TO JEEP KNOWING ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND NOT DOING ANYTHING TO FIX IT. COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IF NOT TAKEN CARE OF SOON.

THE TIRE-PRESSURE-MONITOR SYSTEM HAS BEEN DEFECTIVE SINCE THE PURCHASE OF MY JEEP. MY JEEP SERVICE-CENTER HAS ATTEMPTED MANY TIMES TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WITH NO SUCCESS. SINCE THE JEEP TPM SYSTEM IS REPORTING BOGUS INFORMATION, THE TPM ERROR MESSAGES ARE USELESS. THEREFORE THE ENTIRE TPM SYSTEM IS USELESS AND NOT OPERATING AS REQUIRED BY THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION (NHTSA), DOT., 49 CFR PARTS 571 AND 585, [DOCKET NO. NHTSA 2005-20586], RIN 2127-AJ23

WHILE DRIVING THE SERVICE REAR PARK ASSIST MESSAGE CAME ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN THIS HAPPENS ALL THE LIGHTS AROUND THE TRANSMISSION LETTERS ON THE DASHBOARD START TO FLASH AND THE TRANSMISSION STARTS TO SLIP. THIS HAPPENS WHEN YOU ACCELERATE. HAVE HAD VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 3 WEEKS NOW AND HAVE HAD NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM . AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT TRANSMISSION SLIPPING WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC.

MY JEEP COMMANDER WILL START ACCELERATING EXCESSIVELY AND WILL NOT STOP UNTIL I DISABLE THE CRUISE CONTROL. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES AND GO INTO THE DITCH JUST TO AVOID A CAR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
DRIVING UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS THE VEHICLE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF AND STALLS. THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY, MOSTLY AT SPEEDS OF ABOUT 45-60 MPH. THE TWO RECALLS AVAILABLE ON THE VEHICLE AS IT RELATES TO THIS ISSUE (TCM/PCM ) ( IGNITION SWITCH) HAVE BEEN RECENTLY FIXED BY THE DEARLERSHIP, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO MULFUNCTION IN THE SAME MANNER AND APPEARS TO BE GETTING WORSE. CONTACTING CHRYSLER, THEY ARE ABRASIVE AND UNCOOPERATIVE. A LITTLE RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL OWNER COMPLAINTS ON THIS VERY ISSUE DATING BACK TO 2006-2007-2008. THERE APPEARS TO BE AN "ACTIVE" INVESTIGATION ONGOING BY THE NHTSA-OFFICE OF DEFECTS INVESTIGATIONS. WHAT IS THE STATUS OF THIS INVESTIGATION-10 YEARS LATER??? THERE APPEARS TO BE NO INTEREST ON THE PART OF THE MANAUFACTURER TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITHOUT THE VEHICLE OWNER INCURRING MASSIVE LOSES IN ENDLESS DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR EXPENSES.

OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS,ALL FOUR INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAVE BROKEN. THE DAMAGE OCCURRED WITH NOTHING MORE THAN NORMAL USAGE. THE BREAKAGE HAS LEFT ALL DOORS INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO OPEN. THIS BREAKAGE COULD SLOW AN OCCUPANTS ABILITY TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER OWNERS OF JEEPS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE. I FEEL JEEP SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THIS APPARENT DESIGN FLAW AND OWNERS SHOULD BE PROVIDED COMPENSATION FOR THE REPAIR.

MY VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE IN TRAFFIC CAUSING ME TO ALMOST GET HIT IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I COULD DO NOTHING BUT COAST AND BRAKE. ALL GEARS BECAME HIGHLIGHTED WHICH WERE NOT PREVIOUSLY. I AM WORRIED IF THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN I WILL BE IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ENCOUNTER AMONG JEEP OWNERS BUT THERE IS NO RECALL.
