This page combines three types of NHTSA data: recall campaigns (official manufacturer or government actions), owner complaints (unverified consumer reports), and crash test ratings (where available). A vehicle with many complaints is not necessarily less reliable — complaint volume correlates with sales volume and vehicle age. Recalls indicate identified defects, not overall quality. To compare this model year with others, use the year navigation in the sidebar or return to the model overview page.

The contact owns a 2010 Jeep Liberty. The contact stated while her husband was driving approximately 60 MPH, the driver lowered the driver's side window when a smoke odor was present. The driver saw a flame burst from the door-mounted electrical panel with the door lock and window controls. The contact blew the flames out and then returned to the residence. The contact mentioned that her husband's clothes had a strong smoke odor due to the failure. No warning light was illuminated. A dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. Additionally, the contact stated that before the electrical fire, during brake work on the vehicle, a mechanic had advised that a wire harness on the tow hitch had melted and had warned the contact not to use the tow hitch. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 166,000.
The contact owns a 2010 Jeep Liberty. The contact stated that the air bag warning light had been illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was determined that the air bags might fail to deploy in the event of a crash. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 220,000.
Airbag light goes on and off. Is not throwing a code on advanced scan tool. Also at times does not recognize the key has been removed from the ignition, and that appears to be a fault with the ignition key pin in the housing which Chrysler wants $1,000 or more to replace the ends tire steering column. What the hell do y'all guys even do because these problems exist all over the internet. Do y'all get kickbacks or make deals with the car companies because it seems not have to do anything with the safety of the equipment that is being sold.
The contact’s wife owns a 2010 Jeep Liberty. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, his wife noticed that the air bag warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the air bags needed to be replaced. The dealer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed of the cost to replace the air bags. The contact was informed to call the manufacturer for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that he was not the original owner and the manufacturer denied repair. The failure mileage was approximately 152,000.

Idid call chrysler hot line .know recall on this vin no3# but iam have the problem of what their saying about the brakes. i had the master cylinder replaced same problem.
Valve stem failure. Low tire pressure light came on, and tire immediately went flat while driving at 55-60 mph. After tire was changed, went to tire shop where they said valve stem was either blown out or sucked in, and 2 more were ready to fail, so replaced all 4. I didn’t quite understand all, but seemed to have something to do with the tire pressure sensor, or parts of it being worn.
I HAVE A 2010 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT AND IT'S HEADLIGHTS CONTINUE TO GO OFF ON ME WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT'S ONLY NOTICEABLE AT NIGHT IN WHICH IS NOT SAFE. I'VE CHANGED BOTH LIGHT BULBS IN WHICH WORKED AND THEN WENT OUT WITHIN 20 MINS AGAI AT NIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY. THEN I CHANGED THE 30AMP/RELAY. THEN I CHANGED THE DIMMER SWITCH. ALL OF THIS DID NOT WORK. THEN THE DEALER CHANGED THE WINDSHIELD THAT IS LOCATED ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE AND IT WORKED FOR ABOUT A WEEK WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE LIGHT GOING OUT BUT WORKING WHEN I SHIMMY THE CORD OF CONDUCTOR. BUT LIKE IT DID PREVIOUSLY IT'S NOW NOT JUST THE PASSENGER LIGHT AS BOTH LIGHTS ARE AGAIN NOT WORKING. AND THEY ARE STARTING TO FLICKER THEN JUST GOES OUT ALTOGETHER TO WHERE NOW THE SHIMMY IS NO LONGER EFFECTIVE. NOW I'VE DONE ALL I CAN DO ON THE ELECTRICAL REALM BUT IT SEEMS AS THOUGH EVERYTHING I'VE ATTEMPTED IS JUST TEMPORARY OR DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP!
THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES (CRITICAL ERROR - CYLINDER MISFIRE) AND MY CAR VIBRATES/SHAKES WHENEVER I ACCELERATE OR GO UP ANY INCLINE ON A HIGHWAY. I WENT TO SEE A CERTIFIED MECHANIC TODAY (IN MICHIGAN) AND THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE 3.7L ENGINE HAS A DESIGN FLAW THAT ALLOWS A LARGE AMOUNT OF CARBON BUILDUP IN THE CYLINDERS, WHICH LEADS TO MISFIRE ISSUES. IT WILL COST OVER $2,000 TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE (12 HOURS WORTH OF WORK - THEY HAVE TO TAKE APART THE CYLINDERS AND WHOLE IGNITION/INTAKE SYSTEM, CLEAN THE PARTS, AND REPLACE GASKETS). THE MECHANIC SAYS THAT MY CAR IS NO LONGER SAFE FOR HIGHWAY DRIVING AND CAN BREAK DOWN AT ANY TIME. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 104,000 MILES. JEEP SHOULD NOT GET AWAY WITH SUCH A HORRIBLE DESIGN FLAW THAT WILL CAUSE MY CAR TO BREAK DOWN.
WHEN WE DRIVE TO GREATCLIP HAIR CUT STORE FROM DOLLARS STORE THRU FREEWAY, JEEP DIDN'T WARNING ANYTHING THAT WILLING TO BREAK DOWN, I STARTED SMELLED LITTLE OIL BURN AND WE PARKED JEEP BY GREATCLIP TO DROP WIFE THERE AND I TURNED ENGINE TO GOING AND IT'S SMELL STRONGER BURNS . I CHECKED IT OUT THAT VALVE COVER GOT CRACKED AND LITTLE HOLE. I ASKED WIFE TO START UP AND I SAW A LOT OF OIL COME OUT OF VALVE COVER HOLE . WE CALLED TOW TO COME PICK UP TO AVOID GET ENGINE SEIZURES AND I THOUGHT IT'S VALVE COVER THEN I WENT TO AUTOZONE TO BUY VALVE COVER AND GASKET AND WENT HOME TO WORK ON JEEP. I REMOVED VALVE COVER AND FOUND A ROCKER BROKE THE METAL OF ENGINE HEAD IN PASSAGES SIDE. I HEARD A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO WORK AT DEALERSHIP SHOP AND OTHER SHOP SAID ALL 3.7 LITER V6 ISN'T GOOD ENGINE FOR JEEP BECAUSE IT'S KEEP BLEW OR PROBLEMS. IT'S ONLY 170,000 MILES ON ENGINE. WE JUST BOUGHT 2 MONTHS AGO IT'S WAS GOOD ENGINE AND RUN WONDERFUL THEN IT'S BROKE DOWN FOR NO REASON. I HAD OLDER JEEP HAS NEVER PROBLEMS WITH ME UNTIL THIS ONE CAUSED ME PROBLEMS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE SUN ROOF WAS OPENED, SHE BECAME AWARE THAT THE BRACKET WAS FAULTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUN ROOF WAS DUCT TAPED TO PREVENT WATER FROM ENTERING THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LARRY ROESCH CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (200 W. GRAND AVE, ELMHURST, IL 60126, (630) 333-9121) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE COST OF THE ROOF REPAIR EXCEEDED THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE HOWEVER, NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED.

AIRBAG LIGHT SUDDENLY CAME ON WHEN TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY. MECHANIC SAYS CLOCKSPRING IS BROKEN AND AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON.
AFTER STATIONARY FOR THE WEEKEND IN MY HOMES DRIVEWAY, BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER ACTIVE HEADRESTS DEPLOYED. THERE HAVE BEEN NO ACCIDENTS AND NO MISUSE RELATED TO BOTH HEADRESTS DEPLOYING. I CALLED MY LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING AND THEY TOLD ME THERE MUST HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT FOR THEM TO DEPLOY, AND THAT I WAS WRONG BY TELLING THEM THE CAR WAS STATIONARY IN THE DRIVEWAY, AND THEN QUOTED ME $750 FOR EACH HEADREST PLUS THE COST OF LABOR AND SERVICING.
OPERATING MY 2010 JEEP LIBERTY ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE REAR SUSPENSION SNAPPED NEARLY CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. ALSO VEHICLE HAS AN OVER ABUNDANCE OF RUST UNKNOWN REASON. SINGLE OWNER, PURCHASED IN 2010 THIS IS A SERIOUS DEFECT. *TR
AFTER DRIVING SEVERAL MINUTES ON A CITY STREET, MULTIPLE DASH LIGHT COME ON, ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, ESP, AND BAS. THIS HAPPENS ONCE A WEEK. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO OCCUR ON DAYS ABOVE 75 DEGREES. FROM THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE. I BELIEVE ITS THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR / CLOCK SENSOR. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AS IT WAS EASY TO FIND THE INFORMATION ON UTUBE.
ROLLOVER PROTECTION VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK HAS FAILED AND GAS POURS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL. AFTER THE PUMP SHUTS OFF, FUEL POURS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AND ONTO THE PERSON FUELING THE VEHICLE. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT IS BEING REPAIRED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS BUT NOT THE 2010 MODEL YEAR, EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME ISSUE.
MY DOOR LOCKS ONLY WORK OCCASIONALLY. THIS CAUSES A SAFETY CONCERN WHEN DRIVING THROUGH A BAD NEIGHBORHOOD AND A SECURITY CONCERN WHEN THE BACK HATCH WON'T LOCK. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE.
VEHICLE'S FRONT FACING VENTS DO NOT OPEN AT ALL! DO NOT OPEN WITH THE HEAT ON OR THE A.C, POSSIBLE THE DEFLECTOR SHIELD BEHIND THE DASH IS MALFUNCTIONING. HUGE COSTLY REPAIR! *TR
AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF SOMETIMES THEY ON I CHECK THEY TOLD ME IT'S A CLOCK SPRING THE LIGHT IS OFF IN PARKING POSITION BUT THEN WHEN YOU TURN THE WHEEL IN DRIVING POSITION IT TURNS ON AND OFF
