My anti skid, ABS, and esp lights are on. The cruise control is not working. Also, at about 50 MPH, my front end acts up. I am told that this is a known problem with the clock spring.

At 44,143 in dec 2009 I had 4 new tires and rear disc pads replaced. In july 2012, about mileage 54000, while driving in town, the left rear wheel speed sensor failed causing loss of ABS, esp, and cruise control. I had dealer repair. At 67,642,in april 2016, I noticed the rear disc rotors were caked with a crusty rust and it appeared that the brake pads were worn out.. The rear brakes could not have been working. The dealer put on new rotors, calipers, pads, and flushed the system. The rusty rotors could not be turned to reuse, the calipers were both "stuck" and the brake fluid was "black". I also had the front rotors turned and new pads installed. The ABS, esp, and cruise control still lights up on the dash for a minute then goes out by itself, leading me to totally distrust the system. I have never seen brake rotors so rusted in my 65 years.

Abs system goes out which in turn makes the cruise control go out. Then when you use the vehicle again the ABS is on so is the cruise control but the brakes don't work well and grab. Then when you are using the lights at night it dims for no reason inside and out. Still waiting on the fix for the rear end fuel tank issue

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 federal safety agency, 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!

Unable to close rear lift gate. Vehicle was not using anti-lock brakes. Vehicle was not using cruise control. Was able to have a 'work around' by using the key fob to release the gate latch in order to close the window. As of saturday may 9,2015, that work around has failed. Key fob is still able to lock/unlock doors and set alarm. Noticed no superficial water damage /leaks around weather strip. Read and noticed several complaints about the rear window latch not closing properly if at all. This is a driving hazard that will surely cause drivers to have infractions and/or accidents. Please advise.

The clock spring on this jeep has broken and has been broken for more than two months. This has disabled the horn, ABS system, cruise control, vehicle stability program and most importantly the driver's airbag. This is a known problem to jeep and they are doing nothing about it. They just continue to say the part is on back order. This is unsafe and someone must force a mandatory immediate solution.

Clutch safety switch on 2006 jeep liberty (3.7 l gas engine) failed after 40 k. Ironically, this requires replacement of the entire master cylinder (cost $375). Would ignore problem, but this also deactivates the cruise control. Silly design in that a simple switch failure requires hydraulic system work.

New vehicle, less than 50 miles odometer. Engaged cruise control at 55 MPH, several miles later tapped brake to disengage cruise control to slow for a turn. Brake would not disengage cruise control, neither would the 'off' button on left side of steering wheel. Cancel button on right side of wheel did shut off the cruise control. Returned to dealer next morning. Dealer replaced a 'regulator/solenoid' behind the brake pedal and indicated the original had been incorrectly adjusted/set from factory and that it could not be adjusted by dealers shop.
