When changing brake pads, I noticed a bubble on the side of the brake line. All 4 brake lines were involved. The bubble was on the rubber portion of the line close to the caliper. I made an appointment with the local dealership to have the lines replaced. Their inspection identified a fifth line with a rupture also. All were replaced. Since this is a safety component I asked if jeep was replacing the parts and was informed it was not covered by them or my extended warranty. This vehicle is a 2006 jeep liberty and had 48,870 miles at the time.

Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 56 of 56, newest first, as owners wrote them.
This is my third complaint for the same on -going problem. The ABS/bas, esp lamp will come on when going 45-50 MPH or medium acceleration. At various time the engine will lose power. Jeep liberty has been taken back three times to dealer. They said they are unable to dupilcate problem as the problem must ne active. The codes are present, but not active. I've written chrysler/jeep with not help or assistance. Vehicle is still under factory warranty.
This is my second time in the last two weeks for the same problem. My last complaint was the ABS/bas, esp lamp coming on. My 2006 jeep liberty was at the dealership for 1-1/2 weeks. The dealer says the codes are stored, but they must be active to locate the problem. The day after picking up my jeep liberty, I was driving on the vehicle on the highway at 45-50 MPH, the same lamps came on. Now I afraid to drive the vehicle for fear of the brake system. My vehicle only has 24,888. I recently wrote to chrysler to complain.
Lost steering control. The braking system failed to work.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. The contact took his vehicle to the dealer for general maintenance and was informed that all four brakes needed to be replaced. It would cost $493 to repair the brakes. The federal safety agency campaign id number 06v493000 (service brakes,hydraulic:antilock:control unit/module) was referenced. The current and failure mileages were 15,000. Updated 06/25/08 *bf the consumer stated the ABS, traction control, osp, bsp warning lights had illuminted on the dashboard. The tire pressure warning light illuminatd. It was discovered the right front tire had low tire pressure. Updated
I had to replace rear brakes after just 12,000 miles on my brand new 06 jeep liberty. Those brakes should last at least 80,000 miles. The service manager told me that they did not find anything wrong with my brakes, so they installed back the old calipers and the old rotors. They have replaced just the brake pads, but not under warranty. They consider that "a normal wear". There is a mechanical problem that wears the rear brakes that fast and the dealer does not want to fix it. Thank you!
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty 4x4. The contact stated that the brake pedal went directly to the floor when he depressed the pedal. When he depressed the brake pedal while the vehicle was in drive, the brake pedal went to the floor as well. The dealer stated that this is a common issue with a diesel motored vehicle and he was issued reference number 16527339. The current mileage is 23,470 and failure mileage was 22,000.
I own a 2006 jeep liberty. I have two issues. First one is the rear brakes. I replaced my brake pads at 34000 miles to find my rear outer brake calipers were not making contact with the rotor on either wheel. The svc mgr at grindstaff of elizabethton, tn told me my rotors were warped. There is no way this should happen at 34000 miles. I drive 95% four lane highway miles to work - no red lights at all. You can see by looking at the rotors the outer brake pads have never made contact with the rotors. When the other six pads were replaced the outer rear brake pads were not worn one bit and the outer brake contact surface of the rotor is not worn at all. The second issue is the brake actuator solenoid. My jeep will not come out of park when it gets extremely hot inside the vehicle without running the A/C about 10 mins. To cool the brake actuator assembly off a little. It sticks in park and will not come out. The same dealer told me they would not fix it because it's an intermittent problem even with it still under warranty (reported at 33000 miles). The service mgr at grindstaff in elizabethton, tn said they would not replace the defective parts because it was only an intermittent problem. I am very dissatisfied with the reliability of this vehicle. Both problems I have are safety issues, factory design issues and dealer warranty compliance.
Safety defect 1) my wife was driving in the rain and went to the mall. Just after she left the mall, the 2) dashboard lights for ABS, electronic stability control, and traction control came on and stayed lit. Within a mile or so, my wife had spun across 3 lanes of interstate traffic and into the guardrail while attempting to enter interstate. 3) at this point the jeep liberty has been towed to a body shop. Nothing to repair failure has yet been attempted.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. The contact heard a grinding noise coming from the brakes when she started the vehicle in the morning. The dealer replaced the brakes on two occasions. However, the grinding and squeaking noise persisted. The contact stated that the noise sounded like metal rubbing against metal. The dealer test drove the vehicle and claimed not to hear the noise. The current mileage is 3,465 ,and failure mileage is 100.

The contact heard a loud grinding noise coming from the passenger front side of the vehicle. There were warning indicator lights. The failure mileage was 7500. The contact was having a problem with the automatic stability control light turning on, and felt tension in the steering wheel. The chrysler dealer could not duplicate the problems with the vehicle. *ak the vehicle began to have steering and brake problems. The vehicle left hte roadway, the consumer was unbale to control the vehicle. The consumer stated the brakes locked up.
After one month, car speedometer, tachometer and various safety systems on the instrument panel stopped working after first service these include ABS, hand brake light, tpm. Chrysler has not been able to fix problem to date and are now claiming it is an ABS 'pump'.
Dt*: the contact stated the brakes failed five times at low speeds. There was an accident causing minor damage to another vehicle. The dealer could not duplicate the problem. Also, the check engine light illuminated. The dealer replaced the heater control head however that did not fix the problem. The fuel pump also runs constantly and the manufacturer has been alerted.
Having approx. 31,000 miles on my vehicle, I was already hearing what I thought was the noise maker on my brakes. I took the vehicle into pepboys to find out it was not the noise maker. The factory brakes were not wearing correctly. I still have 50% left on the front and 75% on the back. I should not have to replace my brakes at only 31,000 miles. The brake pads are uneven and should were evenly.
