2006 Jeep Liberty electrical complaints
Page 5 of 6: complaints 101 to 130 of 147, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Key is stuck in ignition which is unsafe to leave vehicle unattended at any time, my dealer has advised me that the problem is the gear shifter and since the vehicle is easily shifted into gear without a key it could have rolled away if placed in the neutral or drive gear.
Key stuck in the ignition and unable to remove. Had to remove gear shift console and push in a metal piece so that car computer would register that the car was in park.
I have a 2006 jeep liberty renegade. In the last 4 weeks, I have replaced 5 left tail lights, and 1 socket. The day after I had the new socket, the light went out. The mechanic, as well as the man at the parts house, have both said this is a bad problem with the liberties. What can I do?
Abs, esp, and main brake light flashing alarm chime going off. Been to dealer twice. Bcm has been changed twice, instrument cluster has been replaced. No dx codes being sent so dealer can't do anything.
Ignition switch binds up intermittently also shifter and steering wheel do not lock up and can move shifter from park without pushing brake. Adjusted shift cable but did not solve problem. Found that shifter and cable assembly were worn. Removed and replaced shift interlock cable and gear shift assembly. Test operation ok.
When I parked my 2006 jeep liberty and attempted to turn the key and pull it out of the ignition, the key would not come out. It would go no further than the lock position. It appears that the shifting cable that reads when the car is in park and enables one to remove the key had failed and was not reading that my car was actually in park. I had to press the cable down in order to remove my key. I did a google search for the problem and it appears to be a common problem for the 2004-2006 jeep liberty. Now my shifter does not stop between gears, it simply slides through them without having to press the button that would normally lock them in place. I can shift from reverse to park without pressing the break and without pushing the button. In order to pull my key out I have to take the cover off and press down on the cable. Now that I noticed it is a common problem with other jeep liberty's, I think a recall is in order.

On wednesday, september 5, 2007, at approximately 8:30pm both my husband and I got in our 2006 jeep liberty with only 9,188 miles to drive home. Upon turning on the vehicle we turned up the air conditioner and heard a grinding sound. Unsure of what the noise was, my husband turned down the air for a moment. As he turned the air back up the blower fan fell out of the dashboard and into the foot area of the passenger front seat where I was sitting. The blower fan was still turning as it made contact with my feet because it did not detach from the electrical wiring. The blower fan continued running until my husband shut off the vehicle. Due to the fact that I was wearing sandals when the blower fan fell out of the dashboard my toes were severely lacerated and suffered abrasions. These injuries required me to seek medical attention. Due to this injury I have had to miss work, as it is not possible for me to wear shoes, stand for any length of time, or sit without elevating my feet. This incident along with other multiple faulty window components, all of which are warranty items, cause us concern. Particularly since the blower fan was a recalled part and had recently been replaced. We no longer feel that this vehicle is safe to operate and have contacted chrysler headquarters customer service call center for assistance and are awaiting an inspection.
