problem #2

Aug 042013

Liberty 6-cyl

  • 134,000 miles
Ignition switch failed without warning while transporting disabled person. Again!!!!! this is the 2nd time this same part has failed on this vehicle - it is a tiny, small "pot metal"/nylon part that is a weak link in this supposedly otherwise sturdy rig, and the only fix after all this time of repeated failures is to replace the entire steering column, rather than only the offending part, again. This year, the part lasted for far less time than the original part - for only 4 years and 48,000 mi. It is a dangerous situation when a careful and conscientious driver is unable to rely on a vehicle used to Transport a wheelchair-bound person. This Jeep is a one-owner vehicle and is regularly maintained and cared for by the dealership and other authorized service centers. (in 2009, it took months to get the part) this issue should be considered for recall. The thing is not going to explode and kill someone, but leaving occupants vulnerable (with no warning) is still a serious security issue.

Liberty 4WD 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 50,000 miles
The contact stated that the 2004 Jeep Liberty was experiencing the same symptoms described in recall 07V192000, but this vehicle was not included. She would like to have the scope of the recall expanded for the intermittent radio/ip/side mirrors/rear wiper. There was also a buzzing somewhere in the dashboard. The speedometer was acting erratically. Update 05/04/07
