AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
I HAD A HEAD ON CRASH WITH A CEMENT DIVIDER ON DEC 24TH 2002. THE LIBERTY WAS A TOTAL LOSS AND I RECEIVED A HEAD, NECK AND BACK INJURY. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY EVEN THOUGH I WAS TRAVELING 65 MPH WHEN THE CRASH ACCORDED. CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED AND TOOK NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE AIRBAGS. THEY STATED THE THRESHOLD FOR THE SENSORS WERE NOT MET AND IF THEY HAD, I COULD HAVE BEEN HURT WORSE. THEY SAID AIRBAGS DEPLOY AT 200 MPH AND CAN CAUSE INJURIES WORSE THAN THE CRASH. *JB

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
LAST WEEK I HAD 5 ROCK CHIPS REPAIRED IN MY WINDSHIELD. YESTERDAY I HEARD A LOUD PING AND SAW ANOTHER CHIP (FROM NO OBVIOUS SOURCE). THIS MORNING, I FOUND A LARGE CRACK ABOUT 16 INCHES LONG FROM YET ANOTHER CHIP I HADN'T EVEN NOTICED. I BELIEVE THE WINDSHIELD GLASS IS EXTREMELY BRITTLE AND/OR ANGLED IN SUCH A WAY AS TO CATCH ANY ROCKS THAT MAY HIT IT AND BREAK AND/OR CHIP WITH MINIMUM FORCE. *NLM

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE TO TOW A SMALL BOAT. FORTUNATELY, WE WERE NOT TOWING THE BOAT AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, OTHERWISE WE WOULD CERTAINLY HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. MY 2002 JEEP LIBERTY IS WELL WITHIN ITS ORIGINAL BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY PERIOD. SUDDENLY IT SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR, LOST POWER, AND THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON. IT STILL RUNS IN 1ST, 2ND, AND REVERSE GEARS, BUT SLIPS OUT AT EVERY STOP LIGHT AND HAS TO RE-ENGAGE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WON'T HONOR THE WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY CLAIM THE TRANSMISSION WAS DRAINED BEFORE I DROVE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP - BUT THAT'S EXACTLY THE SYMPTOM THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED!! THEY ADMIT THE VEHICLE COULDN'T GO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF MILES WITH FLUID THAT LOW, BUT THE PROBLEM OCCURRED DURING A HIGHWAY TRIP AND NO ONE COULD HAVE DRAINED THE FLUID WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THERE ARE NO LEAKS OR DRIPS UNDER THE VEHICLE AND THERE WAS NO WARNING OF ANY KIND. WHERE DID THE FLUID GO? OUR LIBERTY WAS ONE OF THE FIRST OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE. OTHER LIBERTY OWNERS WILL PROBABLY EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM AROUND 32000 MILES. PLEASE WARN THEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.*JB
