While applying brake & shifting to reverse, car accelerated in reverse at high speed with no throttle engaged. Brake was pressed the whole time and pumped to stop vehicle, there was no braking. A pole was impacted crushing vehicle. No warnings of this issue. This has left the family in fear of ever driving a Jeep. This was a Jeep Liberty 2006 with less than 70K miles. Well kept maintained vehicle.

While I was driving the ABS bas esp stopped working and the lights came on. We were living in ft wayne indians at the time and without those features this Jeep is flat out dangerous. I had the wheel speed sensor replaced twice but that wasn't it. One dealer rebuilt all four of my brakes and purged the system. That didn't work. I paid four different dealerships over 3800$ plus rent fees. It still is T fixed.

On crowded city street applied brakes as someone was starting to cross street in a crosswalk. Engine started to rev up and car would not stop. I went through the crosswalk and managed to stop safely. Tried a few slow speed stops, and car seemed okay. Then a few minutes later at another crosswalk applied brakes. Engine revved up. Had both feet on brakes. Rear brakes seemed to fail. Rear tires started to burn rubber with loud squealing noise. I was able to shift into park. Engine slowed down and was able to drive off afterwards. Made it home (9 miles). Did a few slow stops on the way. Brakes worked okay and engine did not rev. Very concerned about any further driving of this vehicle. Pedestrian lives definitely were in danger.

Esp/bas, ABS and skidding vehicle icon lights came on in the instrument cluster! the cruise control stopped working. This is the same issue we had on our 2007 Jeep Wrangler, which I filed a complaint with the NHTSA, which issued a recall on our Jeep. The clock spring module, located under the steering wheel, controls, the ABS, esp/bas, cruise control, horn, and air bag! this is a safety issue and should be recalled, like my 2007 Jeep Wrangler was!

I bought A2006 Jeep Liberty in August of 2014, been having problems with the tires, which keep seeping air and I have to put air in it every other day. When I press on the foot pedal the car jerks and it speeds up by itself. Couldn't get my key out after it was put in park. Press on brakes and still couldn't get them out. The shift lever moves without pressing on the button that supposed to lock it in place. The date that I put in is for the shift lever which still isn't fixed yet.the other things been going on since I bought the car.

Uncontrolled acceleration. While at a full stop at a red light with my foot on the brake, the engine started to accelerate and the car started jumping as the rear tires 'burned rubber'. pressing harder on the brake did not help. I put the car into neutral and then the engine went back to idle. This is the third instance of this in 5 years (the first was approximately 1/16/09 in nyc, then again on 2/6/12 in nm, and then this one on 10/20/14 in NY. The first time I was at a busy crosswalk by a school. There could have been many injuries. Each time the vehicle was at a full stop, the engine at idle and my foot on the brakes when the engine suddenly started accelerating wildly. Updated 12/02/14.

2006 Jeep Liberty- window regulator problem. Windows crash down into door while driving, startling the driver! this is the third window in the vehicle that has had to be replaced. This is apparently a huge defect (just read the many reviews online) that Chrysler won't admit to.

Unintended acceleration while at a stoplight. Had to turn of the motor to reset.

My father's Jeep Liberty turbo diesel automatically & randomly accelerated on its own about 2-3 days on his way to work (similar to the Toyota situation). The Jeep on-board computer threw up an engine fault code. When he took the car to the Jeep dealership, they said his accelerator pedal module was bad and made my dad pay over $300 to get it replace. The Jeep had under 50K miles on it and it should be against the law to make customer pay to repair a car that speeds up on its own. Are we the only people who have had this problem with a Jeep (Chrysler) product? we have receipts for the repairs and it should have documented the engine fault code that Jeep discovered.

2006 Chrysler Jeep Liberty sudden accelerating. The consumer was driving when the vehicle suddenly accelerated to 65 mph. No amount of pushing on the brakes made the car stop. She was going down a mountain, whizzed past a stop sign, and went around another curve until she came to a major state road with lots of speeding cars. She had to make a decision either to try to merge onto the road or plow into the mountain. She plowed into the mountain and came to a stop when her car crashed a stop sign at the end of the road inches from the ongoing traffic. Both of her feet were on the brakes the entire time. The vehicle flipped on its side and the engine was still roaring.
