2007 Jeep Liberty engine complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 21 of 21, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I purchased a car from u.s. Auto sales in columbia, south carolina on june 12th 2015. The evening I took the car home the gas gauge was not at the empty mark and the car shut off and the check engine light came on. I took it back to the dealership and informed them of this and they proceeded to tell me that it is an ongoing chrysler issue and to not let the gas tank to get below a quarter tank. They proceeded to reset the check engine light. 2 weeks later the check engine light came on again. So I took to a local auto store to have a diagnostics run and was informed that a wheel bearing was needed, a catalytic converter and a fuel line because at a certain level the gas will not reach the engine. Today in south carolina the temperature is well over 100 degrees and while I was driving my air conditioner stopped working. I have had more issues out of this car within the 30 days I have had it. I did purchase a warranty only to be told that I would have to bear some of the cost to fix a vehicle I just purchased. I am now waiting on a call from their mechanic once he gets the parts in to do the repairs. I believe I was knowingly sold a lemon. I was also told that if I had any issues with the car to bring it in and I will be given a loaner car. Well when I did bring it in I was basically told to get in line and wait because they had no loaner vehicles. Now I am basically stuck with a vehicle with no air and if the gas get past a half tank the car will shut off and if not repaired soon could potentially blow up with me and my children in it. Yes I have called the dealer to request another vehicle and was basically brushed off and told no.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep liberty. While driving approximately 55 MPH, the contact heard an abnormal grinding sound coming from the front of the vehicle. The vehicle made a vibrating motion. The failure recurred several times intermittently. The contact also stated that there was a knocking sound from the rear of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000. The consumer was informed there was a knocking noise coming from the engine. The windows regulators were replaced several times, gas over flows, when pumping gas. Updated 07/20/15.
I purchased vehicle aug 2008 with 7500 miles on it. From that time to current date, fuel spills out when filling the gas tank full. Shortly after purchase, the first of 3 occurrences of the rear windows falling happened. The dealership repaired the first one, the second one I had to pay $100 deductible to have my extended warranty cover the cost to the same dealership. Now the first one is broke again, costing me another $100 deductible. In addition, in the past week I have spent over $600 to replace the ignition switch (vehicle would only start using my remote start) and problems with the check engine light on. I had the spark plugs and coils changed, injectors cleaned, compression checked, intake and carbon cleaner run through engine, and complete oil change. This doesn't include the $600 I spent today for new tires also spent $140 for a new battery last year. The window seal strips on both front windows continue to fall off.. It's not over yet - vehicle is in the shop now for the engine light. Who knows how much it will cost me. Chrysler needs to be accountable for their negligence in putting vehicles like this on the market. I hope a serious injury or fatality doesn't have to happen to get their attention. I haven't even addressed the safety recall notice I recently received. Vehicle currently has 58,000 miles on it.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep liberty. The contact stated that while driving 55 MPH, the vehicle began to loose power. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer for inspection where they stated that the coils and spark plugs needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 90,000.
We added a rubber mat on the drivers side floor to keep the jeep mat cleaner. When the gas pedal was pushed down to go up a hill, it stuck down. This cause the jeep to gain speed when back on the level. Brake pressure was applied keeping the jeep under control. A warning needs to go out that the addition of a mat or carpet above the current jeep mat will cause the gas pedal to stick in the down position which could cause a crash or death.
Since I bought the jeep liberty 2007 has a problem with the air conditioning system. All the outside smoke enters in the vehicle. We took it to the chrysler service several times but they said it was fine, but doesn't work properly. This inconvenience has affected us in our health cause every afternoon my wife who drives the jeep come home with head pain and our daughter has asthma and this problem get her worse. Last week we call to the chrysler service and explained again what was happening, the man said that they notice that this model has a manufacturing defect just at the side of the air conditioning system and there were more people reporting the same problem.
I have a 2007 jeep liberty and @ 44,000 miles I had to have the compressor replaced, the auto shop stated that the wires burned out and this stop the compressor working, I asked how this could have been prevented and the mechanic stated that this could have not been avoided due to the way jeep has the compressor housed. This cost me over $1,000.00.
I purchased a new 2007 jeep liberty on march 19, 2007 it had under 20 miles on it. After leaving the dealership the jeep overheated about 15 miles later. I pulled over, popped the hood, and saw that the coolant overflow tank was bone dry. It took about 1 gallon of coolant to fill the tank. Within minutes of filling the tank I heard a gurgling noise when I would make a right hand turn. I drove the vehicle home, since it was late at night and parked it. The following morning I popped the hood and noticed that the coolant level had dropped. This continued for the remainder of the day and the following day. Two days after I purchased the jeep, on march 21, 2007, I brought the jeep back to the dealership. Upon inspection they found coolant in the engine. The service department said that the vehicle was unsafe to drive and had a serious problem. They took the engine apart, and found not only a blown head gasket, but also a defective engine block. They were in the process of replacing the entire engine. The original engine was severely defective and could not be repaired. Daimler chrysler will not extend my warranty or offer any satisfactory customer service regarding this problem. In fact, they won't even discuss it with me. They told me to talk to the dealership. Who advised me to talk to chrysler corporation. I put a total of 90 miles on a new vehicle in 2 days, and have not been able to drive it in a week due to a failed engine.
Tl*- the contact stated that while the 2007 jeep liberty with 32000 current mileage was in the shop for a lower ball joint and a torque converter recall the mechanic cut the shroud that covered the fan .therefore, the fan was exposed. The dealer admitted to cutting the shroud, and they will replace it.
My jeep liberty sport crd has 16000 miles on it, and since new it has had a shudder or stumble from 50 to 60 MPH. It has had repairs to fix the problem, but it still remain to this day. This problem caused my vehicle to loose control in the winter conditions in my area. Which caused my vehicle to end up in the ditch. This could have been much worse if there was traffic at the time.
