Takata recall - my vehicle is 8 years old. A lot of problems have started to happen two years ago which I have paid out of my pocket considering it as age maintenance. Two years ago I was not going to pay dealer $800 cost to fix my front door locks that don't go up or down. I just do it the old fashion way. Recently my passenger front door has added the problem of the window button not working, which is a possible life safety of a person who could be forced to escape that way. Takata recall - now!!! starting in mid April 2018 my dashboard dinged showing picture of what looks like driver airbag circle and driver in a seatbelt. It went away a minute later. It then started happening sparatically twice a week maybe. In May 2018, it became every drive off and on the airbag icon showed up and would ding about five times during the day drive staying lit at 2 minutes most approximately. Now June 2018, it has become an automatic of light dings on and then off several times during a drive that could range from 5minutes to 20 minutes. I started to observe that it happens when I turn the steering wheel only slightly right, but now the last week it has happened when steering wheel is turned slightly left or right. I am now truly in fear of my bag exploding while I drive and/or it will not go off to help my injury I'm involved in crash. I have read the htsa sight of recall and complaints and another owner's story is a match similar to mine....they are complaint NHTSA id number: 10986169. I have to go to the dealer this week for an appt for yet another problem with my vehicle and have to ask them to look at the airbag issue......I believe no matter what the manufacturers should pay for fixing any airbag problem a customer comes in with!!! it should not be put as a burden on the owner and a true hardship to me because I have to borrow money to fix possibly.
Oil pan and transmission pan have rusted out and started leaking. I feel the car is not old enough to have this problem and it is an issue with the manufacturer parts. We didn't notice the problem until we were getting an oil change but the gentleman took a video of the leak for us and when we got home we noticed the enormous puddle in our driveway we had somehow missed.
This car is nothing but a problem. The roof leaks constantly, shorted out my eletronics, the odometer doesnt light up, issue after issue. To many to type
Tipm failure. The car has shut down multiple times while driving. It has happened while driving in city streets and on highways. The 2010 Jeep Liberty lost all power had to steer to the side to avoid causing any accidents. Pretty scary experience especially when you are pregnant and cares are zooming by 80 miles per hour.

The check oil light never came on even when there was less than a quart of oil. The oil was not leaking. The Jeep was just using it up. Not knowing I needed oil caused damage to my engine.
My 2010 Jeep Liberty sport went on fire. I was stopping at a stop sign and all of a sudden the car started to completely malfunction. The care shut off at the stop sign, the horn went off for about 5 minutes, the windsheild wippers went off, all of the doors locked and I saw smoke from the hood. I didnt know what to do and maybe after about 3 minutes of trying to get doors to unlock they finally did I got out and opened the hood and the whole hood was up in flames. Now its a total loss they are only paying off my loan and I am stuck with trying to come up with my own money to buy a new car now I think I should be entilted to a lawsuit I could of died if those doors did not end up unlocking. Every Jeep should be recalled.
A neighbor reported that my Jeep 2010 Liberty moved backward after I left it in park. Our driveway is sloped. The weather was about 60degrees outside. There was no ice or snow on the drive. I checked the vehicle to see if it was in park. It was. That is why I am inquiring to see if a recall had been reported for similar problems.
It has a convertible style sunroof and 1 month after I purchased the vehicle the sunroof broke and the dealership I purchased the vehicle from and the company I purchased will not cover it as well
2010 Jeep Liberty sky slider will not close. Internet full of people with the same problem. Jeep/Chrysler will not stand by their products. They want to replace entire roof at $2500 when only one part is broken (at less than $100). Top mechanism is simply garbage. People have complained that the roof will fly away if driving continues.
I have a "sky slider" on my Jeep and it opens on its own when driving down the highway and will not close. It has also gotten off-track several times causing it not to close properly.
This concern is related to the L15 customer satisfaction recall that was issues for some Dodge nitro and Jeep Liberty models from 2010. Only some of the vehicles were eligible for replacement of lock mechanisms on both right side doors. My 2010 Jeep Liberty vehicle is not covered, but is experiencing the same issues with the locking mechanism. I called Chrysler and they said that they could not do anything at this point until if and/or when the recall is expanded to include my vehicle. This recall should be expanded to include all 2010 Dodge nitro and Jeep Liberty locking mechanisms on the right side of the vehicle - not just some vehicles. When there is an issue that is known, good customer service should remediate the issue for all not just for some. I encourage the NHTSA to look at this closely and expand the repairs for this to all vehicles for this production year - and not just some.
My 2010 Jeep Liberty has a oil pan that is almost rusted through as well as the transmission pan. I learned this through getting my oil changed and the workers told and showed me the decaying parts. I have pictures of these items and believe that this should not be happening being its only 6 years old. And of course the warrenty just ended.
I had original heater core replaced due to fogging of windshield, no heat and smell of antifreeze during Nov 2014 with approximately 48000 miles. Heater core went again. Started to hear rattle under car in May 2015. Set up to have Jeep looked over at a dealership. On the way to the dealer temp guage went up and back down the hot! engine seized. I had to pay over 4600 dollars to have engine rebuilt not replaced as well as heater control and heater core replaced. Chrysler is denying that there is a defect in the vehicle. There was never any sign of coolant leak on my garage floor
As I am driving 55 miles an hour the warning display comes on and says "low air" and within about 5-10 seconds all the air in the tire deflates. I brought the tire to my repair shop that I do business with and they said it was the valve stems not the tires that let go and I must bring it to vip because they are the only ones who take care of that. It cost $100 installed. This has happened on all 4 tires on different occasions. In speaking with employees at vip, they said it is common on Jeep. This could be very dangerous especially when it happens on the front tires. I would like reimbursement for these. What do I need to do?
First incident was in November to where my headlights quit working. I switched out the dual switch but that did not help and then tried cleaning and switching the relays around in the tipm and that helped somewhat. Now I have a whole set of problems. My wipers will not shut off and headlights will not shut off unless I turn car off, and my blinkers are not working at all. I had to pull the fuse for the wipers but cannot find the fuse for the blinkers because it is part of the tipm as well as the headlights. I am worried that with these little issues coming up that eventually bigger ones will happen if the tipm is the problem and Chrysler knows about this, why isn't there a recall. I do not see why I should dish out all this money to repair something that is a defect.
Heater core leaking on my foot while driving burnt me. And antifreeze on carpet made my shoes slippery and when I tried to brake my foot slipped off the peddle.
It was the middle of August 2013- super hot outside and my car started leaking antifreeze all over the front passenger side floor. The ac stopped working! turns out the heater core had to be replaced. Cost over $800. Then in December of 2014 - I started having problems with the heat. The defrost stopped working and the windows would get fogged up. And then that smell started- anyone who has had their heater core replaced knows what I'm talking about. This time I took it to the dealer-cost 900. (total cost $1300.)this Jeep has been the worst purchase of my life. I have owned several cars and I can not believe how many things have gone wrong with this car. Right now- its at the dealership again- now for differential gears $1100 (total cost $1575 includes front wheel bearing) my car only has 80,000 miles on it. Be warned- do not buy Jeep Liberty.
