UPDATED 4/16/15*CN

WE RECEIVED THE NOTICE ABOUT THE GAS/FUEL TANK POTENTIAL TO CATCH FIRE, WE TOOK OUR VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER EXPLAINED THAT WE HAVE TOO MUCH CORROSION ON OUR VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED. THE COST TO REPAIR EXCEEDS THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE, CURRENTLY WE ARE STILL DRIVING WITH A VEHICLE THAT MAY CATCH FIRE. WE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AS WE STILL ARE PAYING OFF THE VEHICLE, WE WHERE GIVEN THE RUN AROUND UNTIL FINALLY ONE ASSOCIATE TOLD US SIMPLY, THEY WILL NOT HELP YOU. PRIOR TO THIS RECALL NOTICE WE HAVE CONSTANTLY HAD ISSUES WHEN FILLING UP WITH GAS AND THE GAS WOULD LEAK OUT IN LARGE QUANTITIES INSTEAD OF SHUTTING OFF. WE REPLACED THE OIL PAN RECENTLY AFTER IT RUSTED OUT, WE ARE ABOUT TO REPLACE TO TRANSMISSION FLUID PAN AS THAT IS ABOUT TO RUST OUT, THE TRANSMISSION LINES ARE ALSO RUSTING AND CORRODED. OUR JEEP MAY BE AN 05 BUT IT LOOKS AS IF ITS BRAND NEW ROLLING OFF THE LINE, WE TAKE CARE OF OUR VEHICLE. WE ARE INFORMED CONSUMERS AND KNOW THERE IS A RECALL FOR CHRYSLER FAILING TO FIX THE FUEL TANK EXPLOSION ISSUES, WHEN WE LOOKED UP THE VIN FOR OUR VEHICLE IT WAS NOT SHOWING THAT IT IS ONE OF THE ONE'S BEING RECALLED. OUR VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND WE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. WE WANT TO KNOW IF OUR VEHICLE WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. WE STILL HAVE ALL THE PAPERWORK FROM VISITING THE DEALER. WHEN WE TOOK THE VEHICLE UP FOR THE RECALL, THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US THAT JEEP HAS ISSUES WITH RUST TO BEGIN WITH AND THAT IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT HAS YET TO BE CORRECTED.

THERE IS UNCOMFORTABLE NOISE WHEN DRIVE THROUGH AND TURN. AFTER INSPECTION, THEY TOLD ME THAT BOTH UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS IN FRONT ON BOTH SIDES WERE DAMAGED.

JEEP LIBERTY 2005, LESS THAN 70000 MILES. GAS OVERFLOWS UPON FILLING UP TANK. AT FIRST THOUGHT, IT WAS FUEL PUMP. HOWEVER, THIS HAPPENS AT ALL STATIONS EVERY TIME IT IS TO BE FILLED UP. THEREFORE IS MY REASONING FOR MY CONCERN. SEARCH ON LINE AND FOUND THIS IS PROBLEMATIC; LINKS BELOW CONFIRMS THIS. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=WHEHMNKXOYK HTTP://WWW.JEEPFORUM.COM/FORUM/F176/HAVE-FUEL-SPILL-PROBLEMS-LIKE-MANY-US-SUBMIT-COMPLAINT-FORCE-RECALL-974337/ THERE ARE MANY REPORTS SHOWING THESE SAME CONCERNS. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS THROUGH THE PROPER CHANNELS. IT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED. THANK YOU

RIGHT REAR LOWER CONTROL ARM BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING, CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE REAR PASSENGER WHEEL WENT UNDER THE FENDER CAUSING ME TO ALMOST HIT AN ONCOMING VEHICLE HEAD-ON. UPON INVESTIGATION, I REALIZED THAT THE REAR LOWER CONTROL ARMS ON THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN RECALLED IN APRIL 2012 IN THE "SALT BELT" STATES DUE TO RUST. ALTHOUGH I LIVE IN KENTUCKY, WHICH I AM TOLD IS NOT THE SALT BELT, IT IS STILL OBVIOUS THAT THESE DEFECTIVE PARTS WERE USED ON MY VEHICLE WHICH WAS PURCHASED NEW IN 2005 AND HAD NO PREVIOUS OWNERS. A MECHANIC HAS ALSO VERIFIED THAT THE RIGHT LOWER CONTROL ARM BROKE DUE TO RUST AND THAT THE LEFT LOWER CONTROL ARM IS RUSTED. AND ALTHOUGH I HAVE BEEN A REPEAT CUSTOMER HAVING ALSO PURCHASED A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY NEW AND A 2012 DODGE RAM NEW, THE COMPANY HAS REFUSED TO REPLACE THESE OBVIOUSLY DOCUMENTED DEFECTIVE PARTS. I HAVE RECENTLY CONTEMPLATED PURCHASING A NEW JEEP LAREDO; HOWEVER, I AM DONE WITH JEEP, DODGE AND CHRYSLER PRODUCTS AND INTEND TO GO WITH FORD, GM AND/OR CHEVROLET IN THE FUTURE. *TR

AT APPROX 8:00 ON THE MORNING OF 2/16/15 MY 2005 JEEP LIBERTY, 3.8L V-6 WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO ACCELERATE OUT OF CONTROL WHILE BRAKING FOR A STOP SIGN. THE ENGINE WAS COLD, I HAD JUST STARTED IT AND THE TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE MID TO UPPER 50S. I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 27 MPH, AND BEGAN TO SLOW FOR THE STOP. AT ABOUT 10-15 MPH, I NOTICED THE CAR WAS NO LONGER SLOWING DOWN. IT SEEMED AS THOUGH THE BRAKES STOPPED WORKING. AT THE SAME TIME, THE ENGINE BRIEFLY REVVED ON ITS OWN. THIS MADE THE CAR ACCELERATE. I COULD NOT STOP AT THE STOP SIGN AND THE CAR ACCELERATED INTO 50 MPH CROSS TRAFFIC. I MADE A HARD RIGHT TURN TO BRING THE CAR NEXT TO THE CURB, ALLOWING ROOM FOR TRAFFIC TO GO BY. AT THE SAME TIME, I PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL AND THAT ALLOWED THE CAR TO STOP. I THEN PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND REVVED THE ENGINE. IT SEEMED TO RESPOND NORMALLY AT THAT POINT (ENGINE WOULD RETURN TO IDLE IMMEDIATELY AFTER TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE GAS). AFTER SHIFTING BETWEEN PART TO DRIVE, THEN REVERSE, ETC. SEVERAL TIMES, IT STILL SEEMED TO WORK NORMALLY SO I CONTINUED TO WORK WITH NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. IT SEEMED AS THOUGH WHILE COMING TO A STOP, THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT DOWN SHIFT OR DISENGAGE. AS THE ENGINE RPMS WERE REDUCED BELOW IDLE DUE TO THE CAR SLOWING, THE COMPUTER CONTROL SYSTEM TRIED TO BRING THE ENGINE SPEED BACK UP, CAUSING IT TO ACCELERATE. A COUPLE OF FACTS - THE CAR HAS APPROX. 159,800 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I PURCHASED IT USED A FEW MONTHS AGO AND HAVE PUT 13,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN I PURCHASED IT I HAD IT EXAMINED BY A MECHANIC AND HAD ALL THE HOSES, BELTS, ETC. REPLACED. I'VE HAD THE OIL CHANGED AT ABOUT 5,000 MILE INTERVALS. I DRIVE WITH ONE FOOT ONLY, I DON'T USE SEPARATE FEET FOR THE GAS AND THE BRAKE. THE FLOOR MAT WAS NOT MOVED BEFORE OR AFTER THIS INCIDENT, AND IS NOT CLOSE TO THE GAS PEDAL. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE AND THE VEHICLE BECAME MORE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE REAR LOWER CONTROL ARMS HAD RUSTED OUT. THE CONTACT WAS MADE AWARE OF NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V085000 (SUSPENSION); HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,000.

MY SON TOOK HIS 2005 JEEP LIBERTY IN FOR THE RECALL WHERE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO INSTALL A TRAILER HITCH TO PREVENT THE GAS TANK FROM RUPTURING DURING A REAR END COLLISION. THEY TOLD HIM HIS FRAME HAD TOO MUCH RUST ON IT AND THAT THEY COULD NOT PUT ON THE HITCH. IT IS A NY CAR AND HE NOW LIVES IN ARKANSAS. IT IS IN NORMAL CONDITION FOR A 10 YEAR OLD CAR DRIVEN YEAR AROUND IN UPSTATE NY. I AM SURE THAT THEY HAVE NOT SEE AS MUCH RUST ON VEHICLES IN ARKANSAS SO I THINK THEY ARE ANTSY ABOUT ANY RUST AT ALL. OR, THEY ARE LOOKING FOR ANY EXCUSE NOT TO DO THE REPAIR. THE AMOUNT OF RUST JUST SPEAKS TO THE ORIGINAL DESIGN/MANUFACTURING QUALITY IF ANYTHING. IT BEEN OVER 2.5 YEARS SINCE THE RECALL WAS FIRST ANNOUNCED AND OVER A YEAR TO THE POINT THAT THEY HAD ENOUGH HITCHES. HE'S BEEN TRYING TO GET IN FOR REPAIR THE LAST 6 MONTHS. I'M SURE 3 YEARS AGO THERE WAS LESS RUST ON THE FRAME BUT IT HAS TAKEN THIS LONG TO GET IT IN. IS JEEP OFF THE HOOK BECAUSE OF RUST? SHOULDN'T JEEP BE REQUIRED TO FIX THE PROBLEM ON ALL VEHICLES THAT ARE STILL ON THE ROAD? SHOULDN'T THEY HAVE ANOTHER FIX IN PLACE FOR JEEPS THAT CAN'T ACCEPT THE "HITCH" FIX? IT APPEARS FROM WHAT I HAVE READ THAT JEEP PURPOSELY DELAYED THE RECALL SO THERE WERE FEWER VEHICLES LEFT ON THE ROAD AND NOW THEY GET TO MAKE THE CALL WHEN THERE IS TOO MUCH RUST. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FEEL THAT MY SON IS SAFE IF JEEP IS ALLOWED TO SAY "PASS" ON REPAIRING HIS VEHICLE. WHO ALLOWED JEEP TO DECIDE IF A VEHICLE GETS THE FIX OR NOT. WHY WAS JEEP ALLOWED TO HAVE A FIX THAT CAN'T WORK ON ALL VEHICLES STILL ON THE ROAD? I HAVE READ THERE HAVE BEEN ADDITIONAL JEEP FIRES AND DEATHS JUST IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS AND JEEP STILL HAS THE ABILITY TO REFUSE TO FIX SOME VEHICLES. HOW IS JEEP BEING HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE DEATHS? WHAT OPTIONS DOES HE HAVE? PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT STEPS I NEED TO TAKE TO HAVE HIS JEEP FIXED CORRECTLY......UPDATED 05/14/15 *BF *TR

I ALSO RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE HITCH RECEIVER. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID NO PROBLEM. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION FROM THE NOTICE THAT THE AFTERMARKET UNIT WOULD BE REPLACED WITH A FACTORY UNIT. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED WHEN IT WAS 3 YEARS OLD. *TR

TYPICALLY, WHEN REFUELING, UPON REACHING THE FULL LEVEL WITH THE FUEL PUMP NOZZLE IN THE AUTO SHUTOFF POSITION THE PUMP NOZZLE WILL SHUT OFF BUT GASOLINE WILL CONTINUE TO FLOW AND SPEW OUT OF THE FILL TUBE, DOWN THE SIDE OF THE CAR, ONTO THE GROUND AND ONTO ME. I'VE LEARNED TO MANUALLY STOP ADDING FUEL PRIOR TO THE FULL LEVEL TO AVOID THE RISKS THIS SITUATION PRESENTS. ON 11/22/2014 WITH THE FUEL TANK NEARLY EMPTY I ATTEMPTED TO REFUEL WITH FUEL NOZZLE IN AUTO POSITION FOR THE INITIAL FILL PERIOD. AFTER ADDING APPROXIMATELY 2 GALLONS GASOLINE BEGAN SPEWING OUT. TO STOP THE FLOW I HAD TO GRAB THE NOZZLE AND DISENGAGE THE LEVER MANUALLY AND IN THE PROCESS SOAKED MY HAND, ARM AND LOWER LEG WITH GASOLINE. I ATTEMPTED TO BEGIN REFUELING AGAIN WITH AN IDENTICAL OUT COME. I MOVED TO A DIFFERENT PUMP STATION AND TWICE ATTEMPTED TO FILL BY MANUALLY OPERATING THE NOZZLE LEVER. GASOLINE POURED AND SPEWED OUT BOTH TIMES. AFTER HAVING ADDED JUST 5 GALLONS TOTAL I STOPPED ATTEMPTING TO ADD FUEL. I AM NOW IN THE PROCESS OF FINDING SERVICE/REPAIR BEFORE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AGAIN AS I DON'T BELIEVE IT IS SAFE TO ADD FUEL IN CURRENT CONDITION. *TR

DRIVER SEAT BELT UNLATCHES FROM TIME TO TIME. I COULD BE JUST SITTING AT LIGHT, OR DRIVING DOWN ROAD AND IT JUST UNLATCHES. I PUT IT BACK ON, AND SOMETIMES IF IMMEDIATELY UNLATCHES AGAIN FOR NO REASON. I HAVE HAD TO KEEP DOING IT 5 OR MORE TIMES WITHIN 10-20 MINUTES.

I WENT TO START MY JEEP AND IT CAUGHT ON FIRE UNDER THE HOOD. ALSO, IT SOMETIMES DOESN'T START, WHEN IT DOES AND I'M DRIVING, IT STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF MAKING A LEFT TURN AND I'M AFRAID I'M GOING TO GET HIT! IT MOSTLY HAPPENS WHEN IT'S RAINING OR A LOT OF MOISTURE IN THE AIR. IT PULLS AND HESITATES WHILE I'M DRIVING AS WELL. MY INSURANCE PAID FOR THE DAMAGE WHEN I HAD THE FIRE, BUT I'M NOW LEARNING THAT IT'S A BIG ISSUE WITH JEEPS. I HAVE 3 CHILDREN AND I'M AFRAID FOR THEIR SAFETY. I CAN'T AFFORD A NEW VEHICLE. *TR

MY GIRLFRIEND OF 21 YEARS, WENT INTO THE DOCTOR AND WHEN SHE CAME OUT HER JEEP LIBERTY WOULD START AND THEN STALL. SHE SAID THERE WAS CLUNKING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE. I GET THERE AND CALL AAA AND HAVE IT TOWED TO A PLUS TRANSMISSION AND AUTO REPAIR IN BRIGHTON MICHIGAN. THEY SAID THE ROCKER ARM CAME LOSE FROM THE ADJUSTER AND THAT SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. NOT SO, TURNS OUT IT WAS A BROKEN VALVE SEAT ALSO THAT HAD DROPPED DOWN INTO THE CYLINDER CAUSING CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. WE ARE LEFT WITH THE EXPENSE OF REPLACING THE ENGINE AT A COST TO US OF $5600.00. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE CHRYSLER 3.7 V6 ENGINE. IT HAPPENS JUST AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRES. WITH TODAYS TECHNOLOGY I BELIEVE THAT ENGINE SHOULD HAVE HAD LASTED UP TO 200000 MILES. SINCE WE CANT AFFORD A NEW CAR THIS IS THE ONLY WAY WE CAN GO. HOWEVER, I BELIEVE CHRYSLER SHOULD HELP WITH THE EXPENSE OF THIS. NEVER WILL I BUY FROM CHRYSLER AGAIN. *TR

FAILURE ON DRIVER REAR TRAIL ARM. TRAIL ARM FRACTURED WHEN I TOOK OFF FROM A STOP. THIS APPEARS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE JEEP ISSUED A RECALL ON (#L27), IN MARCH 05, 2012, FOR JEEP LIBERTY MY 2004 - 2007. CONTACTED JEEP RECALL HOTLINE AND THEY REFUSED TO HONOR THE RECALL SINCE MY JEEP WAS BOUGHT IN KENTUCKY. RECALL IS ONLY VALID FOR JEEPS SOLD IN STATES NORTH OF KENTUCKY. ACCORDING TO RECALL FRACTURE IS LINKED TO THE EXCESSIVE CORROSION DUE TO THE APPLICATION OF ROAD SALTS DURING WINTER WEATHER CONDITIONS. NORTHERN KENTUCKY (WHERE I LIVE) HAS THE SAME WEATHER AS SOUTHERN INDIANA. INDIANA IS COVERED AND KENTUCKY IS NOT. *TR

EVERY SINGLE TIME WE FILL UP THE CAR (NO TOPPING OFF), THE GAS SHOOTS OUT OF THE TANK BACK AT US. WE BOUGHT THIS USED CAR FOR HOPING IT WOULD BE RELIABLE, BUT THIS IS A RECURRING DANGEROUS PROBLEM. WE LOWER THE FLOW OF FUEL FROM THE PUMP, BUT IT STILL HAPPENS. VERY DANGEROUS! WE HAVE HEAD THAT THE PLASTIC O RING SWELLS WITH GASOLINE THAT CONTAINS ETHANOL AND FAILS TO CUT THE BACK FLOW OFF. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS IS, ALL PUMPS IN OUR AREA CONTAIN AT LEAST 10% ETHANOL. WHAT GOOD IS A CAR IF YOU CAN'T DRIVE IT?! *TR

JEEP RECALL NOTICES REQUIRE HITCH INSTALLATION. DEALER (WOLFCHASE CHRYSLER JEEP IN BARTLETT, TN) DOES NOT HAVE HITCHES AND CANNOT GET THEM IN A TIMELY FASHION. DANGEROUS CONDITION FOR VEHICLE WHICH JEEP SEEMS INCAPABLE OF FIXING. DEALER HAS NOT GIVEN ANY ESTIMATE OF WHEN THEY WILL BE ABLE TO INSTALL NEW HITCH. *TR

I WAS SENT A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY 2005 JEEP LIBERTY (N46 RECALL). AFTER A LONG WAIT BEING TOLD THERE WERE NO PARTS AVAILABLE I FINALLY GOT IT INTO A DEALER WHO TOLD ME THEY WERE UNABLE TO INSTALL THE TRAILER HITCH BECAUSE OF RUST AND THAT CHRYSLER STATES THAT IT IS A LEVEL 5 CORROSION SO THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I FIND THIS VERY DISTURBING SINCE THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY ACCIDENTS WITH THE GAS TANK EXPLODING AND BURNING THE WHOLE CAR ON IMPACTS, ROLLOVERS, ETC. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AT THIS POINT AND STILL FEEL THAT THE DEALER SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM... ...UPDATED08/20/15 *BF *TR UPDATED 9/25/2017*CN

JEEP LIBERTY WITH A 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION PERIODICALLY POPS OUT OF FIRST GEAR AS YOU BEGIN TO ACCELERATE. THERE DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE A PATTERN TO THE PROBLEM LIKE HOW QUICKLY ARE SLOWLY YOU ACCELERATE.

2005 JEEP LIBERTY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 13V252000.* LD THE CONSUMER WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION, (OEM) PARTS WERE BEING USED. HOWEVER, HE LEARNED THE TRAILER HITCH THE DEALER INSTALLED WAS NOT A USABLE TRAILER HITCH FOR HOOKING UP A BOAT, OR TRAILER, ETC.

THE DRIVER SIDE REAR LOWER CONTROL ARM BROKE FROM BEING CORRODED.THIS SHOULD BE PART OF THE 12V-085 RECALL BUT IS NOT BECAUSE I LIVE IN THE WRONG STATE. *TR

ON SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 27TH WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE I NOTICED A RUMBLE NOISE WHILE CLIMBING A MODEST HILL. AN INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE REVEALED THAT THE REAR AXLE HAD MOVED FORWARD SEVERAL INCHES AND THE DRIVER REAR WHEEL HAD MOVED INTO A POSITION WHERE IT WAS CONTACTING THE INNER FENDER WHICH CAUSED THE NOISE. FURTHER INVESTIGATING THE CAUSE LEAD ME TO NOTICE THAT THE LOWER CONTROL ARM HAD FAILED DUE TO CORROSION WHICH ALLOWED AXLE TO MOVE FORWARD. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER BY REGISTERED LETTER REGARDING THIS ISSUE BUT I HAVE RECEIVED NO RESPONSE. *TR
