Engine light stays on all the time. Also ABS, traction, eps lights flash on intermittently following a warning sound. This panel issue can occur upon starting the vehicle or while driving on both interstate and on city roads. Have brought it to my mechanic three times now. My mechanic has plugged the unit into the diagnostic sysrem to check error codes and it registered five random error codes simultaneously which he felt were unrelated to the iissue, nor was it possible to have those five related codes all at once. He suspected that it was a panel malfunction and wondered if a recall had been issued that he was unaware of. But he went through the process of checking connection and cleaning connections anyway. He suggested to bring it back to a jeep manufacturer for further evaluation if it recurred again, which it did! From the complaints listed, it sounds like jeep does know either but they continue to charge consumers for repairs that have not solved the problem. Obviously driving the vehicle is not safe per customers complaints either. Perhaps someone is waiting for a tragedy before any type of recall is considered which is sad.

Same gas problem it overflows tank when filling it. Abs light, esp bas, and traction control lights came on and brakes go all the way to the floor at times. Window regulators keep going out making my vehicle unsafe for me to put my child in. As a single parent I cannot afford to keep paying for costly repairs (mainly the windows) to prevent my child from getting sick in wisconsin winter. I do not have time in my day to sit and wait on repairs to be done. I hate risking frost bite when my window decides to fall and I'm trying to hold it up! It is now snowing and my drivers side window has fallen into my door yet again and it is 2 am and I really hope garbage bags keep it dry!

The ABS control module alerts there is a problem with the ABS system randomly while driving. We were told there is a recall f50, the federal safety agency campaign id #06v49300, regarding this from our local mechanic. We had the vehicle serviced on 07/30/2012 at a authorized jeep service center dealership regarding this problem, module and associated wiring were replaced at our cost. This didn't fix the problem. We didn't resolve the issue any further until now, since we were not satisfied with our experience at this service center dealership. Today we contacted another local authorized jeep service center dealership and the daimler chrysler recall center regarding the n46 recall [gasoline storage tank assembly/hitch] and the previous f50 recall. Both said the f50 recall is not associated with for our VIN. However, after doing some further investigation on the federal safety agency website it seems the f50 recall is assigned to 2007 jeep liberty 2wd only. Therefore, it appears that this may be the reason our vehicle is not eligible for the is recall and we must now pay out of pocket again to fix this major safety hazard. We have schedule an appointment with an authorized jeep service center dealership for them to reprogram the ABS electronic control unit per the remedy assigned to the federal safety agency campaign id #06v49300 at our own expense. The purpose of this complaint is to notify you that this problem is also on the 2007 jeep liberty 4x4wd and if you could please correct/add 4x4wd VIN numbers to this recurring problem so that possibly we may be eligible for reimbursement from chrysler. Thank you for looking into the matter. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
