Summary

PURCHASED VEHICLE USED IN JANUARY 2020. FIVE DAYS LATER, THE FIRST DTC ILLUMINATED, AND IT HAS BEEN AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE EVER SINCE. SO FAR I HAVE REPLACED THE PURGE VALVE, WATER PUMP, SERPENTINE BELT, RADIATOR, ALTERNATOR, PCV VALVE, TENSIONER ASSEMBLY, FRONT BRAKES, LEFT EXHAUST MANIFOLD, DOOR SEALS, SWAY BAR BUSHINGS/LINKS - ALL WITHIN THE FIRST 10,000 MILES. BRAKE CALIPER PISTONS SEIZED AND LOCKED, CAUSING BRAKES TO SMOKE AND OVERHEAT, DISCOVERED EXHAUST LEAK ONLY AFTER DEVELOPING SYMPTOMS OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING. EVEN AFTER ALL OF THAT, THE VEHICLE STILL SOUNDS AWFUL AND HAS SERIOUS PERFORMANCE ISSUES. I FULLY EXPECT THAT THE ENGINE WILL BE TOAST ANY DAY, AND I STILL HAVE ALMOST THREE YEARS WORTH OF PAYMENTS LEFT ON IT.

Summary

I HAVE A JEEP LIBERTY 2011 W/ A SKY SLIDER ROOF- WHERE THE ENTIRE ROOF IS FABRIC AND SLIDES BACK. IT STOPPED WORKING & WOULDN'T SHUT ON TUESDAY AND THE ONLY PLACE THAT COULD PUT IT INTO A GARAGE AND LOOK AT IT BEFORE THE RAIN- WAS THE DEALERSHIP. I HEARD BACK FROM THEM TODAY- THEY NO LONGER MAKE THE PART THAT'S BROKEN. THEY WERE ABLE TO SHUT THE ROOF, BUT I CAN NEVER OPEN IT AGAIN B/C IT WON'T SHUT AND I'LL HAVE TO PAY THEM $243 AGAIN TO CLOSE IT. I'M READING ONLINE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ' AND EVEN WHEN THE ROOF IS SHUT IT- WIND CAN GET UNDER IT AND BLOW COMPLETELY OFF- POTENTIALLY CAUSING ACCIDENTS IF IT WERE TO RIP COMPLETELY OFF. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS HASN'T BEEN RECALLED. I KNOW ITS COMMON FOR PLACES TO STOP MAKING PARTS AFTER 10 YEARS, BUT THERE SHOULD BE SOME RESOLUTION OFFERED TO SHUT YOUR ROOF WITH REASSURANCE IT WON'T RIP OFF AND HURT SOMEONE. I'M PRETTY MUCH SCARED TO DRIVE MY JEEP OVER 50 MPH NOW AND JEEP BASICALLY JUST THREW ME BACK OUT IN THE WORLD WITH NO WAY TO FIX IT BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO WAY TO FIX IT. THIS IS NO WAY FOR A COMPANY TO PERFORM . I WAS A LOYAL JEEP OWNER SINCE 1997! HERE ARE SOME PICS OF OTHER PEOPLES ROOFS FLYING OFF. *TR

IT WILL REQUIRE A NEW MOTOR WHICH WILL COST $4000-$5000 IF WE CAN FIND A DECENT ENGINE. APPARENTLY THESE ENGINES CAN BE DIFFICULT TO FIND AND ARE MORE EXPENSIVE BECAUSE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM.

Summary

THIS JEEP LIBERTY HAS A SKY SLIDER ROOF WHICH OPENS LIKE A CONVERTIBLE TOP. THE TOP MALFUNCTIONED WHEN TRYING TO OPEN IT AND WE WERE UNABLE TO CLOSE IT ELECTRONICALLY WITH THE CONTROL BUTTONS. IT REMAINED PARTIALLY OPEN AT THE FRONT AND ALONG THE SIDES. THIS HAPPENED WHILE USING IT IN A STRAIGHT LINE AT AROUND 55 MPH ON A 2-LANE HIGHWAY IN NORTH DAKOTA WHILE ON A TRIP ABOUT 250 MILES FROM HOME. THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO MANUALLY PUSH IT DOWN MOST OF THE WAY BUT INFORMED US THAT THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY INCLUDING MOTORS, ARMS, CABLES, AND CLOTH TOP WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE PARTS WERE ORDERED 7/9/18, AND IT IS NOW 10/2/18 AND JEEP DOES NOT HAVE A SUPPLIER FOR THE PART. I CONTACTED JEEP CUSTOMER CARE 877-426-5337 ON 9/14/18 TO SEE IF THEY COULD ESCALATE THE SITUATION BUT THEY STATE JEEP IS WAITING FOR A NEW SUPPLIER. I HAVE A CASE OPENED WHICH IS ASSIGNED TO A CASE MANAGER. DRIVING IT CREATES A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE IT HAS TO BE DRIVEN WITH THE WINDOWS PARTIALLY DOWN BECAUSE THE AIR PRESSURE PUSHES THE TOP UP AND CREATES GAPS TO THE OUTSIDE AIR. IT IS DISCONCERTING AND DISTRACTING DRIVING IN THE RAIN AND HERE IN MINNESOTA IT WILL BE VERY COLD AND SNOWY SOON, WHICH WILL CREATE AN EVEN GREATER SAFETY CONCERN FOR THE 79 YEAR OLD OWNER.

THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS RETRACTABLE ROOF SYSTEM SO, I TRUST THIS IT WILL BE RECALLED FOR REPAIR/REPLACEMENT BEFORE A TRAGEDY OCCURS.

THE JEEP WILL RANDOMLY STALL WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE, ESPECIALLY IN SITUATIONS WHERE I NEED TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY, E.G. AT AN INTERSECTION OR WHEN MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE. I WILL PRESS THE GAS, AND THE JEEP WILL NOT ACCELERATE. I WILL PUSH DOWN MORE ON THE GAS, AND THE JEEP DOES NOT RESPOND. IT HAS NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT EVERY TIME. ALSO, THE JEEP WILL RANDOMLY NOT START. I WILL TURN THE KEY, THERE IS ONE CLICK, ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH COME ON AS USUAL, BUT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT FIRE UP. I CAN TURN THE KEY REPEATEDLY, BUT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START. I HAVE TO LET THE JEEP SIT FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES BEFORE IT WILL START UP AGAIN. NO CODES ARE SENT TO THE COMPUTER SIGNALING AN ERROR OR MALFUNCTION. NO LIGHTS COME ON IN THE DASH, EITHER. MY JEEP IS RANDOMLY NOT FUNCTIONING WHEN BEING STARTED OR WHEN ACCELERATING AND YET, THE JEEP IS NOT SENDING ANY CODES OR DISPLAYING ANY LIGHTS TO INDICATE ANY PROBLEMS. THE TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) IS COMPLETELY FAULTY AND IS GOING TO CAUSE SERIOUS HARM TO MY FAMILY AND OTHERS!

THIS SAME ISSUE WAS DEEMED NOT AN ISSUE A FEW YEARS BACK BY THE NHTSA WITH THE LIBERTY BUT DEEMED NO GOOD BY THE NHTSA FOR THE JEEP CHEROKEE AND DODGE DURANGO.

I PRESENTLY OWN A 2011 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT. THE PROBLEM IS THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. AT 30,113 MILES, 6/26/14 I TOOK THE JEEP IN TO CHECK PARTIAL DISPLAY OF BACKGROUND LIGHTING ON THE TEMP GUAGE. THE TECH STATED THAT ALL THOSE CLUSTERS EVENTUALLY FAIL, THAT THIS IS ONLY THE START, IT CANNOT BE REPAIRED, AND YOU HAVE TO ORDER THE WHOLE CLUSTER AS THE PROBLEM CANNOT BE FIXED. THE GUAGE CLUSTER WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ORDERED,BUT PAPERWORK WAS LOST BY THE DEALERSHIP, AND SINCE THE JEEP WAS NOT NOW UNDER WARRANTY I DIDN'T PURSUE A SOLUTION AS IT SEEMED A SMALL PROBLEM. NOW AT 52,000 MILES, 5/5/17 THE GUAGE DIALS STILL WORK, BUT THE JEEP CANNOT BE DRIVEN AT NIGHT SINCE THE GUAGES ARE NOT BACKLITE AND DARK, SUCH AS SPEEDOMETER, FUEL AND TEMP GUAGES AND ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO READ, AND THE ODOMETER, TRIP METERS ARE NOT DISPLAYING. THIS PROBLEM WILL HAVE TO BE FIXED BY REPLACEMENT AT MY EXPENSE, BECAUSE I FELT IT AS A SMALL PROBLEM AND I COULD LIVE WITH IT, BUT OVER TIME IT UNSAFE NOW. BUT I HOPE TO SHED SOME LIGHT ON THIS ONGOING DEFECT FOR SAFETY PURPOSES AND TO SAVE OTHER JEEP OWNERS HEADACHE AND FRUSTATION. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS.

Summary

THE HEATER CORE ON THE LIBERTY BECAME PARTIALLY BLOCKED. THE HEATER CORE IS NOT SERPENTINE IN DESIGN. INSTEAD, IT HAS A SERIES OF PIPES THAT CONNECT THE TANKS ON BOTH ENDS. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE BOTTOM OF THE HEATER CORE PLUGS UP. WATER CAN STILL PASS THROUGH THE UPPER PIPES, HOWEVER. SO THE TOP HALF OF THE HEATER CORE GETS HOT AND THE BOTTOM HALF DOES NOT. THE HAZARD HERE IS THAT THE WAY THE HEATER CORE IS POSITIONED IN THE AIR BOX, THE AIR THAT BLOWS OVER THE TOP HALF GOES TO THE PASSENGER SIDE. SO THE AIR THAT GOES TO THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE CAR IS THE AIR THAT BLEW OVER THE COLD, BOTTOM HALF OF THE HEATER CORE. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD CAN'T BE DEFOGGED/DEFROSTED AND IF YOU ARE DRIVING ALONG AND A SNOW EVENT STARTS, YOU CAN QUICKLY LOSE VISIBILITY. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM, AND I'VE BEEN ABLE TO GET A LITTLE BIT OF HEAT BACK BY DOING A STANDARD COOLANT FLUSH. I'VE HAD TO FLUSH IT TWICE A YEAR EVERY YEAR, HOWEVER, SINCE RIGHT ABOUT THE TIME THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. ACCORDING TO THE OWNERS MANUAL, IT SHOULDN'T NEED FLUSHED ANYWHERE NEAR THIS OFTEN. AND THE COOLANT IS USUALLY PRETTY RUSTY WHEN I FLUSH IT. A QUICK SCAN OF THE INTERNET TELLS ME THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON HAVING THIS HEATER CORE PLUG PROBLEM AND AFTER TALKING TO MY LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP I'VE DISCOVERED THIS PROBLEM IS FAIRLY COMMON. *TR

Summary

I HAVE A JEEP LIBERTY WITH 40,000 MILES ON IT THAT HAS SAFETY ISSUES. WE BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AS A SMALL SUV FOR OUR FAMILY AND IT HAS BEEN A COMPLETE PIECE OF JUNK. THE ANNIVERSARY PACKAGE THAT WE BOUGHT IS A JOKE. THE FAKE LEATHER SEAT HAVE COMPLETELY DETERIORATED WHICH WE OVERLOOKED BUT NOW THE CAR IS HAVING SAFETY ISSUES. THE AIR BAG SYSTEM IS A JOKE AND THE FAILED MODULE IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER THE MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY NOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT THE STEALERSHIP SOLD TO US. I WILL NEVER EVER PURCHASE ANOTHER DODGE , CHRYSLER OR JEEP PRODUCT AS THEY ARE VERY UNRELIABLE VEHICLES AS WELL AS MY EXPERIENCES WITH 4 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS HAS BEEN BEYOND HORRIBLE. THEY EVEN LIED TO US ABOUT CHANGING OUR OIL IN THE CAR AND OFFERED A FREE OIL CHANGE TO COMPENSATE FOR THE LIE. WHAT A JOKE THEY DID NOT EVEN CHANGE OUR OIL AND SAID THEY DID. I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH CARS FOR 20 YEARS SO I KNOW A FEW TRICKS OF THE TRADE AND I ALWAYS DO THINGS TO BE ASSURED THAT THE SAID WORK IS BEING PERFORMED. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT A CAR WITH 40,000 MILES ON IT NEEDS A NEW MODULE THAT IS RECALLED FOR THE SAME YEAR AS MY JEEP BUT MINE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, HOW HORRIBLE IS THAT. I WILL NEVER SAY ANYTHING GOOD ABOUT THESE CARS NOR WILL I EVER REFER ANYONE I KNOW TO PURCHASE SUCH A PIECE OF CRAP. *TR

I OWN A 2011 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT 4X4. THE TIPM IS FAILING. WHEN THE CAR WARMS UP, ALL OF THE DASH WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATE, THE SPEEDOMETER FAILS AND THE ACCELERATOR FAILS. ON SOME OCCASIONS THE JEEP FAILS TO IDLE AND DIES, ON OTHER OCCASIONS THE CAR IDLES TOO HIGH ON IT'S OWN LIKE SOMEONE IS REVVING THE ENGINE ALL ON ITS OWN. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE DIAGNOSED A FAULTY TIPM MODULE, WHICH WILL COST $1200 TO REPLACE. HOWEVER, THEY ARE UNABLE TO OBTAIN A TIPM MODULE DUE TO NONE BEING AVAILABLE. I WAS TOLD IT COULD BE MONTHS BEFORE THEY CAN GET ONE IN, DUE TO THE MASSIVE DEMAND. I NOTICED THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS MODULE FOR 2011 JEEP LIBERTY'S MANUFACTURED AFTER JUNE 2011. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED BEFORE THAT DATE. I SEE THAT CHRYSLER RECENTLY SETTLED A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM IN OTHER VEHICLES. I WORK FOR A PRESTIGIOUS PRODUCT LIABILITY LAW FIRM AND PLAN TO LOOK INTO ANOTHER CLASS ACTION. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES.

I STARTED TO DRIVE AGAIN AND THE LIGHT CAME ON AGIN WHICH CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO COME ON AND SHINE RIGHT IN MY EYES. I AM GOING TO GET IT FIXED, THEY SAID THERE IS CORROSION IN THE SWITCH AND IT CAUSES THE PROBLEM. THE OTHER THING IS WHEN IT GETS COLD OUT, I CAN'T LOCK THE DOORS. IF I DO IN 5 TO 15 MINUTES THE LIGHTS START FLASHING AND THE HORN STARTS HONKING, UNTIL I UNLOCK THE DOORS. THIS HAPPENED LAST YEAR WHEN IT GOT COLD ALSO. WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT, IT WAS NOT DOING THIS, SO THEY SAID JUST SEE WHAT HAPPENS. NOW IT IS COLD AND IT IS ACTING UP AGAIN. I WORK AT A PRISON AND NEED TO LOCK MY VEHICLE. I CAN'T DRIVE IT TO WORK AT ALL RIGHT NOW.

THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH GASOLINE OVERFLOWING FROM THE TANK OF OUR 2011 LIBERTY AFTER THE GAS PUMP HAS SHUT OFF. THIS HAPPENS AFTER THE INITIAL SHUT OFF AS WE ARE NOT TOPPING OFF THE TANK. ABOUT 1 SECOND AFTER THE PUMP STOPS AUTOMATICALLY GASOLINE WILL SPRAY OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT DIFFERENT FILLING STATIONS; SO IT DOES NOT SEEM LIKE A PUMP ISSUE. IT ONLY HAPPENS AFTER THE PUMP HAS STOPPED. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN WHILE THE GAS PUMP IS RUNNING.

Summary

ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST 5 MONTHS, MY JEEP HAS JUST RANDOMLY QUIT (ENGINE STALLED). THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD -(TWICE ON A FREEWAY, ONCE ON A SURFACE STREET)- ALL THE DASH INDICATOR LIGHTS HAVE COME ON AND MY JEEP ENGINE HAS JUST QUIT. I'VE BEEN VERY LUCKY THAT I WAS NOT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT INCIDENT. AFTER A COUPLE OF ATTEMPTS, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART MY JEEP. THERE IS NO WARNING TO THIS RANDOM STALLING, NO SPUTTERING, NO LOSS OF POWER, IT JUST QUITS WITH NO INDICATION. MY MECHANIC STATES THAT THIS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE THAT IS CURRENTLY ON A NATIONWIDE BACKORDER. THERE ARE 18 ORDERS IN FRONT OF MINE FROM MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP (THAT'S JUST ONE DEALERSHIP). THIS DEFECTIVE COMPONENT CAUSES YOUR VEHICLE TO RANDOMLY STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING - POTENTIALLY PUTTING MYSELF OR OTHERS IN DANGER OF AN ACCIDENT. I'M TOLD IT COULD BE WEEKS OR MONTHS BEFORE THIS PART IS AVAILABLE, SO EVERY TIME I GET IN MY JEEP I WONDER: "WILL THIS BE THE DAY THAT I GET IN AN ACCIDENT" OR WILL SOMEONE ELSE GET SERIOUSLY HURT BY HITTING ME? HOW MANY OTHERS ARE THINKING THE SAME THING? 100'S - 1000'S? I CAN'T AFFORD TO RENT A CAR FOR AN UNDETERMINABLE AMOUNT OF TIME, SO I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE THIS VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE AND RISK MY LIFE AND THE LIFE OF OTHERS ON A DAILY BASIS.

TODAY AND SIX DAYS AGO I PARKED MY JEEP, TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND REMOVED MY KEY. I WENT TO START MY CAR ABOUT ONE HOUR LATER AND THERE WERE NO DISPLAY LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND THE SHIFT LEVER COULD NOT BE MOVED. I THOUGHT I MIGHT HAVE A DEAD BATTERY. A FRIEND STOPPED BY MY CAR. HE TRIED TO START THE CAR WITH MY KEY. NO ELECTRICAL POWER OR LIGHTS WERE PRESENT. HE OPENED THE HOOD AND SAID EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE. HE CLOSED THE HOOD HARD. HE PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND MOVED IT AROUND. THE DISPLAY LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE CAR STARTED. I HAD THE BATTERY CHECKED AND IT WAS FINE. I PUT A NEW BATTERY IN THE CAR LESS THAN ONE YEAR AGO. THE SAME THING HAPPENED TODAY WHILE I WAS AT THE POST OFFICE. IS THIS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM OR A BAD IGNITION? A NEIGHBOR SAID HE HEARD SOMETHING ABOUT AN IGNITION PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER.

SO YESTERDAY AFTER WORK I GET IN MY CAR AND START IT, AND I NOTICED MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I FIGURED MAYBE THE SENSOR WAS TRIGGERED BY THE HOT WEATHER BUT THAT STILL DIDN'T MAKE SENSE. SO I LOOK UP WHAT I SHOULD DO IN THE MANUAL AND IT SAYS TAKE IT TO THE DEALER (THEY WERE CLOSED). THE NEXT DAY, I THOUGHT SURELY THE CODE WOULD CLEAR AND ALL WOULD BE WELL. TO MY SURPRISE MY LIGHT WAS STILL ON. I TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET CHECKED OUT (MIND YOU, I HAVE 2 WARRANTIES ON THIS CAR) AND I JUST KNOW IT WILL BE COVERED. WRONG! I WAS SHOCKED AND DISMAYED TO FIND OUT THAT MY AIRBAG HAS 2 PROBLEMS, THE SEAT BELT SENSOR HAS BLOWN OUT AND THE THE AIRBAG MODULE IS BLOWN OUT (MEANING IT WILL NOT DEPLOY IF I GET IN AN ACCIDENT). ON TOP OF ALL THIS, NEITHER OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE COVERED BY MY $4,000 WARRANTY AND WILL COST ME $910 BEFORE TAXES. SERIOUSLY??? I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY A DIME EXTRA FOR WHAT I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION OF ALREADY PURCHASING: A SAFE VEHICLE. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SOON.

Summary

VEHICLE PURCHASED NEW IN APRIL 2011. 3 YEARS LATER IN MAY 2014, THE VEHICLE BEGAN SPEWING FUEL OUT WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE AT ANY AND ALL GAS STATIONS. A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FUEL RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, ONTO THE GROUND AND ONTO PANTS AND SHOES IF YOU ARE STANDING CLOSE TO THE VEHICLE. THE GAS FUMES GET INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHEN YOU OPEN THE VEHICLE DOOR. THIS POSES A HAZARD TO THE PERSON PUMPING THE GAS, TO OCCUPANTS INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND TO BY STANDERS. THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET FOR JEEP SUV'S. I HAVE REPLACED THE ESMI HOUSING 2 TIMES, AND THIS DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I AM NOW TOLD I WILL NEED TO REPLACE MY ENTIRE GAS TANK BECAUSE THE ROLLOVER ANTISPILL VALVE INSIDE THE TANK IS DEFECTIVE. I FOUND A RECALL CALLED M11 WHICH FIXES ONLY 2012 JEEP COMPASS AND 2012 JEEP PATRIOT VEHICLES THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE CALLED JEEP AND THEY STATED THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN RESOLVED AND THEY WILL NOT HELP ME. *JS

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM THE GROCERY STORE, THE DOME LIGHTS AND GATE OPEN WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. SINCE IT WAS AFTER DARK, THE LIGHT FROM THE DOME LIGHT WAS BLINDING AND MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND CHECKED THE TAILGATE. THE TAILGATE AND WINDOW WERE BOTH FIRMLY LATCHED. WHEN STARTING TO DRIVE AGAIN, IT WENT OUT BUT ALMOST IMMEDIATELY CAME BACK ON. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABOUT A MILE FROM HOME AND MADE IT HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. THIS SHOULD BE REPORTED TO THE NHTSA AS A POTENTIAL CRASH PROBLEM AS THE BRIGHT LIGHT SUDDENLY COMING ON COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

Summary

THIS HAS HAPPEN TO MY VEHICLE JUST ABOUT EVERY TIME I GO FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION. I ASK TO FILL IT CASH AND EVERY TIME THE GAS OVERFLOWS OUT OF FILLER TUBE. GAS RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE GOING ALL OVER THE GROUND. TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND HAD THEM LOOK INTO THE SITUATION. AFTER GETTING IT BACK THEY TOLD ME THAT THE NPF (NO PROBLEM FOUND). I HAVE DONE THE RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND TSB'S FROM EARLIER MODEL YEARS OF HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE OF OVERFLOWING THE TANK IS A SERIOUS CONDITION AND SHOULD BE RECALLED DUE TO THE FACT THAT 1. IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CREATE AN EXPLOSION. GAS OVERFLOWING ONTO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE OMITS VAPORS AND THE VAPORS ARE WHAT EXPLODE. 2. WITH THE GAS GOING ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE IT PREMATURELY TAKES AWAY THE TOP CLEAR COAT AND PAINT LAYERS. WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY COULD GO TO BARE METAL CREATING A RUST ISSUE. 3 IS THE ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE, ACCORDING TO NJDEP IF ONE DROP OF GAS GETS ON THE GROUND IT LEGALLY HAS TO BE REPORTED TO THEM. KNOWING THAT MOST STATIONS ARE OPERATED UNDER EXTREME SPEEDS, I HIGHLY DOUBT THAT IT IS BEING REPORTED PROPERLY. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THE SERVICE STATIONS IN MY AREA THE EMPLOYEES ARE CLUELESS TO THE RULES AN REGULATIONS. I CALLED THE CORPORATE OFFICE FOR A STATION AND THEY SAID THEY WERE SORRY AND OFFERED ME A $10.00 GIFT CARD. IN HINDSIGHT IT WAS NOT THEIR FAULT. IT IS THE FAULTY FUEL TANK AND PRESSURE SYSTEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT SERIOUSLY, JUST BECAUSE THERE HASN'T BEEN A FIRE OR ANY SERIOUS INJURIES TO DATE DOESN'T MEAN IT IS NOT A REAL ISSUE. I HOPE THIS GETS LOOKED INTO AND PROPERLY MITIGATED.

Summary

AT SPEED ABOVE 55 OR IN HEAVY WINDS THE SOUND OF AIR COMING THROUGH THE SUNROOF CAN BE VERY DISCONCERTING. TURNING UP THE RADIO TO HEAR IT BECOMES A MUST. THE SUDDEN GUSTS CAUSE YOU TO TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD AT TIMES. WITH THE INCREASED NOISE IT BECOMES INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO HEAR OUTSIDE NOISE WHICH COULD EASILY BECOME A SAFETY CONCERN. THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO FIX, AND NOT TO WORRY UNLESS IT LEAKS. HE ALSO STATED HE HAD SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. MY CALL TO CUSTOMER SERVICE ( I HAVE THE REF # IF NEEDED) RESULTED IN MUCH THE SAME DISCOURSE. [XXX] WAS NICE ENOUGH BUT DID NOT HAVE A SATISFACTORY ANSWER TO MY DILEMMA. HE CERTAINLY WOULD NOT ADMIT TO A DESIGN FLAW WITH NO WAY TO TIGHTEN THE SOFT SUNROOF DOWN. NOR IS THERE PRESENTLY A HARD TOP TO ELIMINATE THE PROBLEM, HE INDICATED WHEN I PRESSED HIM. THIS MOVING AIR NOISE IS ALREADY A DISTRACTION AND IF IT GETS LOUDER I HATE TO THINK WHAT MIGHT OCCUR. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE JEEP BEGAN TO ROLL DOWN THE HILL KNOCKING ME SIDEWAYS. IT WAS IN THE 2 WD POSITION. I COULD ONLY WATCH AS THE JEEP WAS HEADED FOR TWO LANE TRAFFIC, THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS JEEP HAS DONE THIS, SAME SCENARIO. BOTH TIMES THE WHEELS WERE ALL ROLLING, NOT SLIDING. I USED THE 4 WD EARLIER THE SAME DAYS, ON BOTH OCCASIONS BUT IT WAS IN 2 WD AT TIME OF ROLLING. HAD IT TOWED TO A JEEP DEALER GARAGE, THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE IT, WOULD NOT ALLOW A RENTAL CAR, HAD TO LEAVE IT WITH DEALER TO FURTHER TRY TO "REPLICATE" AND DIAGNOSE. VERY DANGEROUS! BOTH EVENTS THE JEEP WAS ON A HILL AND ROLLED TOWARDS BUSY HIGHWAYS, THANKFULLY STOPPED ON OWN WITHOUT HITTING SOMETHING OR SOMEONE OTHER THAN ME ON THE SECOND EVENT.

AND TWO, ON THE DASH/FEET LOW SETTING IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE IS PAPER BLOWING IN THE WIND AND HEAT DOES NOT ACTUALLY COME OUT ON THE DRIVER SIDE FEET UNTIL THE CAR IS COMPLETELY WARMED UP. THE DEALERSHIP KINDLY REPLACED A DOOR RUN CHANNEL, NO CHARGE, WHICH ELIMINATED SOME NOISE AND A SLIGHT DRAFT COMING FROM THE DOOR.

BROUGHT TO DEALER FOR THE SAME NOISES I'VE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT FOR THE PAST 9 MONTHS. THE OLD TIRES WERE BALANCED AND ROTATED PRIOR TO THE SECOND (NOISE/SUSPENSION) COMPLAINT TO THE DEALER 5/10/12. IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THIS JAN 2013 APPOINTMENT I REPLACED SCALLOPED TIRES WITH 4 BRAND NEW TIRES, BALANCED AND I PAID FOR THE ALIGNMENT. I STILL GET HELICOPTER SOUNDING NOISE AT HIGH SPEED AND ASKED THAT THE SUSPENSION WHICH WAS VERIFIED AS NOT THE PROBLEM BACK IN MAY 2012 BE CHECKED AGAIN. A TECHNICIAN WENT FOR A DRIVE WITH ME AND HEARD IT. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT TWO TIRES WERE UNBALANCED. BACK WHERE I BOUGHT THE TIRES, I HAD THEM RE-DO THE BALANCE AND ALIGN. STILL NOT HAPPY WITH THE SAME NOISE. I AGAIN BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER MAR 2013 AND I TOLD THEM TO SEND A REPO TRUCK TO MY HOUSE IF THE NOISE IS NOT FOUND. I KNEW I WAS GOING TO PAY FOR BALANCE/ALIGN ONLY THIS TIME THE TECH FINALLY SAYS THAT MULTIPLE PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ON THE SAME MODEL FOR THE SAME NOISE AND NOTHING GETS RID OF IT, THE NOISE WAS DESCRIBED TO ME AS A "COMMON LIBERTY SOUND" AND THAT IT COMES FROM THE POWER-TRAIN WITH NO REMEDY. EVERY TIME I GO IN FOR AN ANSWER, I'M OFFERED SOME OTHER SERVICE WHICH "MAY" BE NEEDED. THIS TIME IT WAS REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS. NOT THE CAUSE OF THE THUMPING HELO-PAD NOISE, DECLINE. *TR
