2007 Jeep Liberty: adaptive cruise control problems

Filed Sep 30, 2016 · Electrical, Transmission · 199,000 miles · MS

Since I'm limited to word use I'll try to keep it short loss of power to turns off and doesn't want to restart, cruise control, mirrors, half of fuse box, windows off and on, ignition starts on it's own when in the start position, traction light now comes on, electronic throttle control light has come on, part time light stays on when in 2 wd. I can feel how it's trying to switch back and forth. This vehicle is becoming a lemon. I've changed the fuel pump, crank and cam sensors and also changed switches in the steering column. In which none of fixed the problems. After talking to the dealership I was told the wiring harness needs to be changed but that part is discontinued.... The vehicle isn't 10 years or older and after researching these issues there are many many liberty owners with these same issues. How can we fix our vehicles if this part isn't available to us or the dealership??? Jeep has known about this problem all alone but doesn't want to have to do a recall on every since jeep to fix this issue but I will not buy another jeep unless they fix the issue.. I love the vehicle other than the problems I'm having. This happens at any given time without notice and is becoming worst. If I lose power and I'm driving this could cause an accident with lots of injuries if not death. Please make jeep fix our vehicles. I can't afford to buy a new vehicle. This body is in great shape

I was driving on the interstate and several warning lights appeared on the dash board. I took the vehicle to the local repair shop and found out that the airbag clockspring was no longer operational. In addition, the anti lock brake feature, cruise control, and airbag are no longer operational. I have been looking for this part for quite some time and it is not available in most cases. The original cost for the clockspring ranged from $80 to $130 depending on the dealer. I have been able to find one clockspring and the dealer wanted $650 for the part plus installation, and he only had one available.

Clock spring controlling air bag, horn and cruise control failure. My cruise control went out but I was told this could cause the air bag to go off without warning. Jeep dealer said they have no parts and no fix available at this time! When and if this part on back order comes in it is going to cost an estimated $400.00 to fix. This should be a re-call as our safety is on the line. Some 700 on back order as of today.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep liberty. The contact was driving approximately 35 MPH with the cruise control in activation. The anti-lock brake system, skid, traction control and electronic stability program warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle decelerated independently and the cruise control became inactive. The failure occurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where they were unable to diagnose the failure. The mechanic discovered that the upper ball joint would need replacing. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle was excluded from the federal safety agency campaign id number: 06v493000 (service brakes, hydraulic: anti-lock: control unit/module).

My car just stopped on the highway because my electronic throttle control froze up. The freeze up was do to having the car in cruise control for a long period of time in extreme cold weather.
