ALL THE LIGHTS PERTAINING TO THE BREAK ABS AND STABILITY CONTROLS ARE ON. SOMETIMES WHEN BREAKING THE ABS KICKS IN AND WE ARE NOT BREAKING HARD AND ON DRY PAVEMENT ITS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT A MONTH NOW. TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON IT. BUT NOTHING COMES UP ON THIS SITE
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND FAILED TO STEER PROPERLY. THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL AND TRACTION CONTROL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE DEALER (DARCARS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF NEW CARROLLTON, 8100 ANNAPOLIS RD, NEW CARROLLTON, MD 20784, (301) 459-6800) STATED THAT IT WOULD COST $180 TO DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 121,261.
MY JEEP LIBERTY IS NOT LISTED FOR HAVING THE FOLLOW PROBLEMS ACCORDING TO THE VIN NUMBER. 1-ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 2-BRAKES - HYDRAULICS-ABS 3-TRACTION CONTROL THE JEEP BRAKE PEDAL WILL PULSATE THEN DROP TO THE FLOOR. THEN THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WILL COME ON.
WHEN STARTING UP MY CAR AFTER 4 DAYS OF NOT DRIVING, THE ABS, BRAKE & TRACTION SENSOR WARNING LIGHTS CONTINUELY STAY ON ONCE MY CAR IS STARTED AND MOVING, NHTSA RECALL REF#06V493000, STATES AND ABS CONTROL MODULE SOFWARE PROBLEM, MAY CAUSE LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL, NOT SURE WHAT MODEL THIS RECALL IS FOR, CONTACTED CRYSLER, AND RECEIVED NO ASSIST OR ADVICE, I DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD BE DRIVING MY CAR OR NOT, I'M VERY CONCERNED
ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. ALSO ABS, TRACTION, EPS LIGHTS FLASH ON INTERMITTENTLY FOLLOWING A WARNING SOUND. THIS PANEL ISSUE CAN OCCUR UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE OR WHILE DRIVING ON BOTH INTERSTATE AND ON CITY ROADS. HAVE BROUGHT IT TO MY MECHANIC THREE TIMES NOW. MY MECHANIC HAS PLUGGED THE UNIT INTO THE DIAGNOSTIC SYSREM TO CHECK ERROR CODES AND IT REGISTERED FIVE RANDOM ERROR CODES SIMULTANEOUSLY WHICH HE FELT WERE UNRELATED TO THE IISSUE, NOR WAS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE THOSE FIVE RELATED CODES ALL AT ONCE. HE SUSPECTED THAT IT WAS A PANEL MALFUNCTION AND WONDERED IF A RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED THAT HE WAS UNAWARE OF. BUT HE WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS OF CHECKING CONNECTION AND CLEANING CONNECTIONS ANYWAY. HE SUGGESTED TO BRING IT BACK TO A JEEP MANUFACTURER FOR FURTHER EVALUATION IF IT RECURRED AGAIN, WHICH IT DID! FROM THE COMPLAINTS LISTED, IT SOUNDS LIKE JEEP DOES KNOW EITHER BUT THEY CONTINUE TO CHARGE CONSUMERS FOR REPAIRS THAT HAVE NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. OBVIOUSLY DRIVING THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE PER CUSTOMERS COMPLAINTS EITHER. PERHAPS SOMEONE IS WAITING FOR A TRAGEDY BEFORE ANY TYPE OF RECALL IS CONSIDERED WHICH IS SAD.
WITH KEY IN ON POSITION IT TRIES AND WILL CRANK BY ITSELF. ALSO NOT GETTING POWER TO SOME OF THE FUSE BOX AND THE PART TIME LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN IN 2WD. WHEN ASKED JEEP DEALER I WAS TOLD THEY NEVER HEAR OF THIS AND WHEN RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM THERE WERE TONS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND NO RESULT OF WHAT TO DO. ALL ISSUES THEY JUST WANT TO CHARGE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX.
THE AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING HAS BROKEN AND WE WERE TOLD THE AIRBAGS, ANTI LOCK BRAKES AND THE STABILITY CONTROL WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT THIS PART. WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THIS PART AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS ON BACK ORDER AND ANYWHERE FROM 35 TO 100 ARE ON THE WAITING LIST BEFORE US. THIS IS FOR THE MOPAR REPLACEMENT PART. NO ONE ELSE IS MAKING THIS PART AND WE ARE FORCED TO DRIVE, WHAT WE FEEL IS AN UNSAFE CAR. NOTHING PARTICULAR HAPPENED, THE WARNING LIGHTS JUST WENT ON.
ONE WEEK AGO FROM 11/28/15, I WAS INFORMED MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE OUT. JUST SUDDENLY NO LIGHTS, THEN ONE BY ONE TAIL LIGHTS STARTED GOING OUT. I HAD A 2008 COMPASS WITH THE SAME ISSUE, THAT WAS NEVER REPAIRABLE. I WAS DRIVING AT THE TIME, AND WITH NO MEANS OF OTHER TRANSPORTATION I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH NO LIGHTS.
THE STABILITY CONTROL WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AT ARBITRARY TIMES AND THEN REMAINS ON FOR THE REMINDER OF MY DRIVE. WHEN MAKING RIGHT HAND TURNS AT SPEED, THERE IS A "GRINDING" NOISE THAT EMINATES FROM THE LEFT FRONT TIRE & ALMOST FEELS LIKE I WILL LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND DIAGNOSTIC REVEALED IT WAS A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND THAT THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR IS ERRATIC, THEREBY CAUSING THE SLIPPAGE. PART IS ON BACK ORDER FOR A *MINUMUM* OF THREE WEEKS FROM THE MANUFACTURER - WAS INFORMED THAT THERE ARE 113 OF THESE BACKORDERED PARTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR BEING A RECALL ISSUE. THE ISSUE OF THE SLIPPAGE ONLY HAPPENS WHILE MAKING RIGHT HAND TURNS AND NEVER WHEN MAKING LEFT HAND TURNS. THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID THIS ISSUE IS TO ALMOST LITERALLY STOP ON BUSY ROADWAYS TO THEN TURN RIGHT. WAS INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE WILL NOT BE SAFE ON WATER-COVERED ROADWAYS AND AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS CONSIDERING THE UPCOMING INCLEMENT WEATHER WE ARE EXPECTING AS A RESULT OF THE HURRICANE, BUT YET IT IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM WORK.
I TOOK MY 2007 JEEP LIBERTY IN FOR SAFTY LIGHTS THAT CAME ON ESP BAS AND ANTI SKID. SWANTYS OF BULLHEAD CITY TOLED ME I NEEDED A NEW CLOCKSPRING THAT CONTROLES THE AIRBAGE AND ANTI SCID BREAKING THIS WAS ON DECEMBER 2013.IWENT BACK AND COMPLAINED OF BRAKES GRABING THEN RELICING BRAKING NOT NORMAL. AGINE THAY SAID I NEEDED A NEW CLOCKSPRING.AND THAT IT WAS ON BACK ORDER THAT IT WOULD BE AVALABLE JUNE 14,2014 THAT WERE RETOLING THE PLANT. THIS WAS BEBRUARY,27,2014. I KEPT CHECING BACK AFTER JUNE 14 I WAS INFORMED THAT TH THER WAS 500 ON BACK ORDER AND NO PROMIS DATE WAS AVALABLE I STARTED CHECING OTHER SOURCES AND RECIVED THE SAME INFORMATION. I JUST CHECED BACK AGINE AND WAS TOLED THAT THAY ARE STIL ON BACK ORDER WITH NO PROMIS DATE. THE DATE TODAY IS JULY 27,2015. I FILL THAT THIS SAFETY ISUE WAS IMPORTANT TO BRIN TO YOUR ATTENTION P.S.I WAS ALSO TOLED THA THER WAS 676 NOW ON BACK ORDER
FUEL GUSHES OUT OF TANK EVERYTIME IT IS FILLED UP. HAPPENS AT ALL GAS STATIONS. NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. SAFETY RISK AND ALSO ENVIRONMENTAL RISK. *TR
WE ADDED A RUBBER MAT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR TO KEEP THE JEEP MAT CLEANER. WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS PUSHED DOWN TO GO UP A HILL, IT STUCK DOWN. THIS CAUSE THE JEEP TO GAIN SPEED WHEN BACK ON THE LEVEL. BRAKE PRESSURE WAS APPLIED KEEPING THE JEEP UNDER CONTROL. A WARNING NEEDS TO GO OUT THAT THE ADDITION OF A MAT OR CARPET ABOVE THE CURRENT JEEP MAT WILL CAUSE THE GAS PEDAL TO STICK IN THE DOWN POSITION WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH OR DEATH. *TR
ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL - LOOSE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, ROUGH IDLE AND SLOW POWER (JERKY STARTS WHEN OCCURS DURING CASUAL DRIVING). THIS HAS OCCURRED WHILE ON THE FREEWAY AND CAUSAL DRIVING ON THE CITY STREETS. WHEN THIS OCCURS ON THE FREEWAY, RPM'S GO ABOVE 3000 WHEN ONLY GOING 60...CAR SPUTTERS AND FEELS LIKE IT COULD JUST STOP, ENGINE RUNS HIGH AND IF YOU ACCELERATE, IT IS SLOW TO CATCH AND STARTS JERKING. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES EVEN AFTER BEING SEEN BY THE DEALER 6 TIMES AND SUPPOSEDLY "FIXED". I FEAR THAT THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE OF THE JERKY ACCELERATION AND SLOW RESPONSE TO ACCELERATION IT IS POSSIBLE OTHER VEHICLES COULD BE FOLLOWING TOO CLOSE AND REAR END MY VEHICLE. *TR
