Driving under 10 MPH lightly applied breaks vehicle went into a spin. This has occurred three times now over the last three weeks. Luckily was able to avoid accidents each time. First two occurrences were experienced by my daughter. I took the vehicle for a test drive to determine cause/issue and found that the vehicle is dangerously defective when breaking a low speeds. I ran the vehicle up to 10 MPH I applied the breaks in a controlled area while going ~10 MPH on a straight away. Without warning the vehicle went into a terrible spin doing a 360 3 times. Felt as vehicle was going to tip. When this occurred to my daughter she reported that one side of the vehicle lifted off the ground.

Two concerns - the first being safety related. There is metal grinding noise when braking. All speeds - slow or fast, and in all "drives", two wheel or four wheel drive. No mechanics I have visited have been able to diagnose it. There are hundreds of other jeep liberty owners experiencing the same problem. I have spoken in person with several and read hundreds of complaints online of the same thing. Secondly, three of my windows have now failed to operate. Also a widespread jeep liberty issue with a piece in the lifting mechanism. The motors are operating just fine, but there is a piece inside the door that breaks and the windows fail to open or close thereafter. Sometimes, a lifting mechanism spring-looking piece grinds upwards into the cabin of the vehicle when the "broken" window mechanisms are accidentally activated. Also concerned these spring mechanisms could snap in the cabin and cause extreme harm.

Goes in reverse but when putting it into drive goes a foot and the breaks come on by themselves. Locks up and cant move. Does this in my driveway and on the road, not drivable. I almost got killed when the breaks locked up and a vehicle behind me had to avoid hitting me. This is a manufacture defect and should be recalled before someone does get killed. There are no pictures to upload you cant see inside the break system or what ever it is that is causing this horrible waiting to be fatal accident.
