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.
The connection "bolt" { situated under the vehicle} between the transmission Shift lever and the rod responsible for actually shifting between park, neutral, , forward and reverse transmission gears completely` rusted away.( See attached picture) causing a complete disconnect rendering the gear shift lever useless. The component is available for inspection upon request" It was shear luck that I was in slow city driving when I realized that the vehicle was damaged and not drivable. Until a final repair is made the vehicle is "dead in the water" so to speak. If this failure occurred during a trip, in an isolated place, I would have been abandoned and helpless as soon as I stopped. The fact that the "bolt" situated under the chassis was made of metal that rusted is incomprehensible to me, especially in a vehicle that is sold as suitable for "rough riding" over rocky terrain, through streams and generally roughing it. Common sense dictates that this critical part should have been constructed of sturdier stuff, not metal that rusts. The problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center" I can't afford to have it repaired at this time. The vehicle or component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure.
The rear window latch does not work. It will not open to latch the window closed with the back door. The window then opens when driving. I have a bungee cord holding my window closed. So anyone can enter my vehicle and it moves when I stop or go. I am ot able to use my back door due to having to redo it everytime. My driverside door also does not lock or unlock all the doors when I press the lock or unlock button. I have to open my door and shut off jeep and try numerous times for ot to work.
My car had been driving fine when I was on my way to work this morning I felt a pop under the car and then my car lost power and now it won't go into gear.. but it still turns on.
While trying to avoid a rear end collision at 30mph steering and break pedal got hard causing rollover where the airbags did not deploy not did the seatbelt restrain
Takata recall: While driving, especially uphill or at high speeds (such as the interstate) the vehicle will sputter and shake and lose horsepower (this especially happens during warm weather). When this happens, the odometer drops, and you cannot get the speed to increase, which is a terrifying experience when you're travelling on the interstate with cars going 70+ mph behind you and you have tractor trailers beside you. I've taken my Jeep to 3+ garages to remedy the issue, and they're all left scratching their heads because the system has wiped every code that was thrown, and everything they try does not help matters - none of them know what to do aside from guessing and replacing parts. The last garage I went to researched the issue, as did I, and there are countless forums with these complaints about Jeep. Furthermore, a lot go on to say they replaced this, that, and the other and the problem goes away for a small amount of time before starting up again, and they and their mechanics are also at a loss. This has been about 2 years of researching, garage work, and an inability to take the vehicle long distances or high speeds. One post I read even said it could be a serious fire hazard which is dangerous for those in the vehicle and those on the roadway.

Ignition switch not turning when attempting to crank vehicle. I had recently drove my vehicle. Prior to the incident my ignition switch made a louder noise when I attempted to turn over the vehicle. Now it's not working at all.
The NHTSA required Jeep to issue a recall on fractured rear control arms that could cause reduced vehicle control and cause a crash. I have been trying since July 11 to schedule my vehicle for repair with friendship Jeep in bristol, tn. They say they cannot get the parts because Jeep is only allowing them to order 4-5 at a time and then they back order them. When I called the recall assistance center, they are saying mopar has them on national back order. It seems neither Jeep or mopar care much about driver safety. How are consumers supposed to get their recalled vehicles repaired when parts aren't available?
Jeep Liberty window regulator bracket failure.I have had three window regulator bracket failures on my 2005 Jeep Liberty making the window inoperable. One of the failures was within 60 days or replacement. There is no point replacing the equipment if it breaks right away. It's a very bad design and going over a bump can cause he window to suddenly crash down, fortunately mine didn't break. How is this not a recall? I only have approximately 80,000 mile son my Jeep.
It's rusting under my Jeep, the brakes and brake lines are rusting at an alarming rate and the undercarriage is rusting fast. I was driving when my rusty brake line broke..I I am still paying for this Jeep. And I heard of the gas tank having problems.
The windows fell into the door when roling down the drivers rear window. This is the 4th time this has happened and not just this window. I have replaced 3 window regulators and 2 windows. The plastic component holding the window in place has a tiny meatal clip to hold a ball joint to the window and its not strong enough to hold the window in place. For a vehicle designed for off roading I cant see how this is good. The last time this occured was during a rain storm and my 6 yr old got soaked when it fell. Just glad the window didnt shatter this time. I almost lost control when this happened and had to find a place to pull over to help him.
Seat belts do not retract doors on the bottom are rusting out along with the window drains paint is bubbling on the side wells.this car is garage kept!we have read about it auto guide.com
Window regulator failing. Two window regulators have failed so far. For the first time, the rear passenger window fell while the vehicle was stationary and I was closing it when a large snap was heard and it fell into the door. The second time, the rear driver window fell. I did not notice when it fell, but when I went to drive one morning it was halfway down. I thought I just forgot to roll it up, but apparently that one failed as well and got stuck halfway down. In both cases the car was stationary on a driveway, then a parking lot. Luckily nothing was stolen or damaged inside. The first incident was on June 2016, the second time October 20 2016
Every 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty has defective window regulators. When they break, they are replaced with another defective window regulator again and again. The dealers make $400 a pop to do this and Chrysler thinks it is ok. They finally recalled 2006-2007 what about the rest? I missed the recall by one year and my window regulators just continue to break. It is discrimination. Your car can be parked and you walk out and see the window down. You can be driving when it happens. Your car is never secure. You can be rob or worse killed since anyone can get in when it is down. Also, rain, snow, insects or animals can all enter your car but that is not a defect to Chrysler. It is time for a recall.
Ignition switch problems-car front head lights and dash board lights are continuous blinking on and off and blowing out constantly. This incidence has occurred several times while operating my vehicle being on the highway or side streets, I do not feel safe driving this vehicle.
Trying to get letter of compliance on an english Jeep saying it meets us min. Safety standard. I have called several numbers and keep being sent to another number. The car was built in onio but no one seems to know where to get this information. Can you help me?
While driving noticed driving wheels sloppy. There is to bolts in front frame connected to steering, when turn wheels one side stays and rest pivots as need to turn steering. On other side bolt and whole bolt and mechanism pivots and makes a grinding noise. Makes a popping sound as well. Have noticed recently that if hit a bump steering get very shaky.
On 6/5/2015, while on the freeway, the dashboard went crazy. Engine and airbag lights flashed, fuel, temperature, and speed gauges went dead (zero), air conditioning stopped. I drove straight to the elk grove dealership's service department. They were unable to find what was wrong. Unable to duplicate the problem and the computer memory did not showed them anything. They performed the 120K service instead. On 6/18/2015, while driving at 15mph it happened again. This time, I pulled to the side of the road and took a video of the dashboard, and again drove to the elk grove dealership. As of today, they have been unable to diagnose/find what is wrong. They know is a control module, but do not know which one. Since other Jeep models experiencing similar problems have been subject to recall, I want to know why not for the 2005 model. I fear for my safety and the safety of drivers around me should this control module kills the engine while I am on the freeway. I have been without transportation while the car is held hostage for observation. This module has a factory or design defect that needs to be corrected by Jeep!
Jeep Liberty 2005 power windows failure. I have just scheduled, for the 3rd time, my window motor repair replacement. If this is a known issue, why isn't it being addressed? and it is apparently known as you may see in the links below: www.carcomplaints.com/Jeep/Liberty/2005/windows_windshield/power_window_regulator_failure.shtml this issue is no doubt problematic and has had numerous complaints. The above link is only one of many but represents several as you can see. My concern is on my model, I am now doing my third window and it should be noted as it is not coincidental. Please address this through the appropriate channels.
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 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
