This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Everyday, there is a clunk from the front driver's side of the vehicle when backing out of a car port and while turning the wheel to straighten up at a low speed. Same noise has also been heard when going over bumps.
The suspension is so low in the front (only measures 5") that when you drive off road the rocks/sand fill up the skid plate and if left there could rub holes in the oil pan/mess up the boots on the suspension and possibly stop the suspension from functioning. If driving on slushy/frozen roads the vehicle would becme a ski. Is this an off-road vehicle as advertized or is it strickly an asphalt vehicle.
Have experienced harmonic noise and vibration in the floor board and center console. The vibration and noise are most apparent when decelerating from a higher speed down through 50 to 55 mph. The vibration and noise sound as if you have knobby all terrain tires on the vehicle when in fact you do not. The dealer had the vehicle for two days and made every effort to identify the vibration and noise. They found a slightly out of balance wheel, but the vibration and noise remain. Since then, I have driven two other Jeep Liberty vehicles, both of them having similar vibration and noise. Perhaps I have a discriminating ear being an engineer, but that does't explain why passengers also feel the vibration and hear the noise. I guess I am fortunate to have the 7 year/ 100,000 mile warranty on the drive train.
