2005 Jeep Liberty Brakes Problems

WHEN BREAKING ON ANYTHING OTHER THAN DRIVE PAVEMENT ALL FOUR TIRES LOCK UP. I HAVE GONE THROUGH NUMEROUS INTERSECTIONS AND STOP SIGNS AND BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO NOT HIT ANYONE. I NOW HAVE TO APPROACH STOP SIGNS AND LIGHTS THAT HAVE ANY INCLINE BY PUMPING MY BREAKS AND COMING TO A CRAWL. THIS NEVER HAPPENED WITH MY 2003 AND IT DIDNT HAPPEN WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE JEEP. SINCE I LIVE IN MAINE WHERE WINTERS ARE BAD IT IS VERY TROUBLING AND STRESSFUL.

THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILS FROM WINTER TO SUMMER CAUSING MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION TO THE COMPUTER, THE AUTO CAN OVERHEAT, IT CAN ALSO CLEAR DOWN AND OPEN FAILURE OF GASOLINE. THE BALL JOINTS FAIL TRULY. IT HAPPENED TO ME IN THREE OCCASIONS WHEN I CIRCULATED BY THE CITY WHEN CROSSING ON A STREET, WHILE PASSING A TUMBLE, AND ON A TERRACE STREET. THE FRONT BRAKE SYSTEM BREAKS CAUSING BRAKE LIQUID LEAKS THIS IS CAUSED BY THE WARMING OF PARTS AND DIRT. I SAW THE STAIN IN THE SOIL WHEN I PARK IN MY GARAGE AND CHECK.

THIS IS A SAFETY COMPLAINT ON A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY COMPLAINT FOR THE 3 RECALLS. BALL JOINTS, TRAILER HITCH AND CONTROL ARMS. ON THIS DAY I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO TRANSITOWNE IN WILLIAMSVILLE, NY FOR THE RECALLS, I NEVER RECEIVED THE BALL JOINT RECALL PREVIOUSLY. MY VEHICLE WAS SAFE, NO NOISE, NO PROBLEMS AND WAS CURRENTLY IN MINT CONDITION MECHANICALLY AND OTHERWISE. I DROPPED IT OFF THURSDAY NIGHT 5/7/2015 TO BE WORKED ON 7/8/2015. THEY CALLED THE MORNING OF 7/8/2015 TO SAY THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETE. AS I DROVE HOME THE WHEEL SHAKES AND FRONT END MAKES NOISE WHILE BRAKING AND SOUNDS LOOSE. I IMMEDIATELY RETURNED IT, THEY WERE RUDE AND AFTER MY OBVIOUS FRUSTRATION FINALLY DECIDED TO TAKE A TEST DRIVE. WHEN SAL, THE SERVICE COORDINATOR CAME BACK AND ACTUALLY ADMITTED (WITH A WITNESS) I WAS ONE IN A MILLION THAT RECEIVED BAD BALL JOINTS BUT THAT THEY DON'T HAVE ANY MORE I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT. I EXPLAINED WHEN BRAKING SOMETHING IS RUBBING, STEERING IS SHAKY AND MAKES A CLUNK NOISE FROM BALL JOINTS. THEY LET ME DRIVE AWAY WITH A VEHICLE THAT IS UNSAFE. LOOSE BALL JOINTS WITH ANY PLAY IN THEM CAN RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. THEY OFFERED NO RENTAL, NO HELP AND IGNORE ME. I HAVE MY OWN BUSINESS (SOLE) AND CANNOT DRIVE IT, I DON'T TRUST IT AND IT CANNOT BE DRIVEN TO KAYAKING. MY ENTIRE WEEKEND WAS RUINED NOT TO MENTION I CANNOT DRIVE A NOISY, DANGEROUS VEHICLE. THEY DID NOT REPLACE THE TRAILER HITCH EVEN THOUGH IT'S 10 YEARS OLD (I PUT IT ON MYSELF) DID NOT COME WITH THE JEEP, AND IT'S WELDS ARE RUSTY AND BRITTLE, THEY DID NOT CARE ABOUT THAT EITHER. CHRYSLER CASE # 26946712. I FEEL LIKE NOBODY CARES ABOUT MY PROBLEM, IT CAN'T BE LEGAL FOR A DEALERSHIP TO SEND DRIVERS HOME WITH VEHICLES THAT HAVE LOOSE BALL JOINTS AND TELL THEM IT'S SAFE, THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHERE I GO AND DRIVE WITH MY VEHICLE, IT'S CONSTRUCTION SEASON AND ONE POTHOLE ON THE THRUWAY COULD KILL ME.

I WAS COMING HOME THE DAY BEFORE THE HOLIDAY. IT WAS A BUSY DAY AROUND 4:30 PM. I BEGAN HEADING DOWN THE HEEL AND THE CAR JUST TURNED OFF. I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART, STEER, BRAKE OR CONTROL ANY ASPECT OF THE CAR. UNFORTUNATELY WHEN THE CAR STOPPED, IT THREW ME FORWARD INTO THE DASH. FORTUNATELY, THE GENTLEMAN THAT WAS IN FRONT OF ME SAW ME WAVING AND YELLING I COULDN'T STOP AND RISKED HIS LIFE BY PULLING IN FRONT OF THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO ALLOW MY CAR TO CONTINUE SOARING DOWN THE HILL. ONCE I REACHED THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL, MY VEHICLE CAME TO REST BETWEEN TWO LANES OF A FOUR LANE ROAD. MIND YOU THIS ROAD HAS HILLS COMING FROM BOTH WAYS. FORTUNATELY AGAIN, A TOW TRUCK DRIVER CAME ALONG AND STOPPED TRAFFIC UNTIL HE COULD SAFELY TOW ME INTO MY DRIVEWAY (FREE OF CHARGE). WHEN I TRIED STARTING THE VEHICLE AGAIN IT RAN LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO BLOW UP AND RATTLED SOMETHING TERRIBLE. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND THEY EXPLAINED THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF ANY SUCH SITUATION REGARDING MY TYPE OF VEHICLE. HOWEVER, AS THE STORIES BEGAN SPILLING INTO THE MEDIA, IT WAS LIKE RELIVING THAT MOMENT OVER AND OVER AGAIN, BUT UNFORTUNATELY FOR SOME THEIR SITUATION DIDN'T TURN OUT AS WELL. HOW LONG WILL THIS MAJOR MOTOR COMPANY BE ABLE TO RISK HUMAN LIVES JUST TO MAKE A PROFIT. WHY DON'T THEY JUST ADMIT THAT THEY USED DEFECTIVE PARTS TO MAKE A BIG PROFIT AND IT HAS NOW BACK FIRED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN A BUSY HIGHWAY THE STEERING BECOMES HEAVY AND SOME FLUID SPLASHED ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AND SUDDENLY LOST STEERING AND GEARING .I FORCED THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER AND STEPPED OUT OF IT TO CHECK WHAT WENT WRONG. THERE WAS NO LIGHT INDICATOR OR OVERHEATING. AS SOON AS I STEPPED OUT OF THE CAR IT STARTS ROLLING BACKWARD, SO IT LOST BRAKING AS WELL..I WAS PANICKING AND PICTURING HOW MANY ACCIDENTS AND TOLL DEATH WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ON THE SCENE. ONE MOVING CAR HAD COLLIDED WITH MY VEHICLE WHILE IT WAS ROLLING BACKWARD AND TWO PEOPLE GOT INJURED. THE POLICE HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED AND MY JEEP GOT TOWED AS IT IS NOT DRIVABLE. I HAVE CONTACT CHRYSLER AND THEY RETURN MY CALL AND PROMISE TO SEND THEIR ENGINEER TO INVESTIGATE AND FIND OUT WHAT WENT WRONG WITHOUT WARRING AND IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A TOTAL DISASTER ON 95 NORTH . *TR

ON SUNDAY, MARCH 6, 2011, MY 2005 JEEP LIBERTY EXPERIENCED A TIRE BLOWOUT THAT WAS ASSOCIATED TO A JEEP CONFIRMED FAULTY REAR SET OF BRAKE CALIPERS AND ROTORS. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN ON FOUR PREVIOUS OCCASIONS REGARDING A "LOUD SCRAPING AND GRINDING" NOISE FROM THE REAR TIRES AND A BURNING ODOR. ON ALL OCCASIONS, THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO ISSUE. AFTER THE INCIDENT ON MARCH 11TH THAT DROVE ME OFF THE ROAD AND IN TO A DITCH, I CONTACTED THE JEEP CORPORATE OFFICES. MY CASE WAS ESCALATED TO A SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS TEAM WHO DISPATCHED A FIELD ENGINEER FROM JEEP. THE ENGINEER ASSESSED THE JEEP ON THAT FRIDAY AND TOOK PHOTOS FOR CORPORATE. AFTER ~5 DAYS, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT AT JEEP CORPORATE WHO INFORMED ME THAT, INDEED, THE ISSUE THAT I HAVE BEEN ATTESTING FOR THE PAST FOUR MONTHS WAS A CRITICAL ISSUE AND DID INVOLVE BRAKE CALIPERS AND ROTORS THAT WERE FUSED TOGETHER AND COULD LEAD TO A "FIRE AND POSSIBLY AND ACCIDENT" AFTER A RUDE CONVERSATION WITH THE AGENT WHO INDICATED THAT I "WAS PISSY", THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT INDICATED THAT IN ORDER TO RECEIVE REPAIRS, I WOULD NEED TO REMOVE ANY LIABILITY FORM JEEP BY VERBALLY AUTHORIZING THE REPAIR. THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY WRITTEN DOCUMENTATION REGARDING THE CASE. SINCE THEN, JEEP HAS HELD MY VEHICLE AND WILL NOT PROVIDE ANY UPDATES. THE DEALERSHIP THAT HAS MY VEHICLE AND ALL SUPPORTING AREAS ARE BOUND TO CONFIDENTIALITY TO THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT AND I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A CAR FOR 8 DAYS. MOST INTRIGUINGLY, I HAVE A SERVICE CONTRACT THAT COVERS THIS ISSUE AND JEEP REFUSES TO REPAIR THE ISSUE, INDICATING THAT THIS IS A LEGAL ISSUE AND A MEMBER OF THEIR TEAM "WILL RETURN MY CALL" WHICH I HEAR EVERY DAY. FROM THIS, I HAVE DETERMINED THAT THIS IS A LARGER ISSUE THAT JEEP REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND LEAVES ME NO RECOURSE THAN TO EXPLORE OTHER AVENUES TO GET MY CAR BACK (REPAIRED) AND TO FOLLOW-THROUGH ON THEIR CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS FOR A SAFE CAR. *TR

THE BRAKES ON MY 2005 JEEP LIBERTY FAILED IN A MALL PARKING LOT AND CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. ONLY 1-1/2 MONTHS EARLIER I HAD REAR BRAKES REPLACED AT THE SUGGESTION OF THE DEALERSHIP (MILEAGE WAS 25,000 MILES). THE DEALERSHIP NEAR THE ACCIDENT SITE SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE (TWICE), AND THEY SAID THEY CHECKED EVERYTHING AND COULD FIND NO PROBLEM. THE BRAKES FAILED TWICE SINCE THE ACCIDENT; FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO VEHICLES OR PEDESTRIANS AROUND. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN BRAKING THAT IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE SLIPPING. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. CONTACTED JEEP COMPLAINT LINE AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY WILL DO BECAUSE I HAVE NO PHYSICAL EVIDENCE THERE IS A PROBLEM. I STOPPED AT THE DEALERSHIP A THIRD TIME, AND THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID IT COULD BE AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AND UNLESS THEY ARE DRIVING IT AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, THEY CANNOT HELP ME. CONSEQUENTLY, THERE WAS $3,300 DAMAGE DONE TO MY JEEP AND I AM NOT SURE OF THE DAMAGE TO THE OTHER VEHICLE. I HAD TO PAY $500 DEDUCTIBLE, $100 FOR A RENTAL, AND MY INSURANCE RATES WILL SURELY RISE. *TR
