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

A day before thanksgiving. I was driving during a snow storm. My car wont go into 4x4 causing me to loose control. Had it fixed in feb 2015 for $680.00. Replace the driveshaft. Now that it is happening again. On nov 2 til now *nov 13, 2015* still same problem. It is so much noise and lot of vibration. When I make a turn right it is quiet and no vibration but going left make it worse. On a reverse that even worse almost cant reverse at all. Driving on the highway at some speed it get quiet and no vibration but will return that horrible noise and vibration.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep liberty. While driving at various speeds, the vehicle would abruptly shift into gear and cause the vehicle to jerk. The contact also indicated that the traction control sensor light erroneously illuminated while operating the vehicle. The engine temperature and ABS sensor lights illuminated. The front end of the vehicle made a grinding noise, the radio was hot to the touch, and the ceiling light suddenly illuminated while operating the vehicle. The dealer was unable to diagnose the cause of the failures. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 12,000.
I manage an emissions testing business a woman came in with a 2007 jeep liberty for a smog check. During the asm test, where I have to drive the car on the dynamometer, it hops off the dyno, going through the precautions I take for a rear-wheel drive vehicle(placing a shock in front of the front wheels), and crashes into the wall, damaging myself and $5,000 worth of equipment. Also, the car kept on accelerating into the wall, even when pushing on the brakes as hard I could so that's when I shifted it into park and engaged the handbrake. Obviously, this car has some major problems with it. At first, I looked online and the year and model had numerous recalls on it, including the rear suspension, and brakes locking up, which I believed had happened in my case. (http://www.motortrend.com/cars/2007/jeep/liberty/recalls/), but after contacting the dealership, they told me that there wasn't any major recalls issued on it, which is why im filing this complaint after smogging hundreds of cars, this has never happened to me until that day.
Went out to start vehicle in the morning for work. Made loud banging/rattling noise. Immediately shut off engine and took to mechanic. The rocker arm had come loose. Fixed for $100.00. Less than 1 week later, the head gasket blew, cylinders head are warped and need repair and now it will cost me $2000. There was no warning, no engine issues prior to these two incidents, no overheating.

I backed my jeep liberty sport into a turn around area, needed to put it in 4 wheel drive. I put it in 4 wheel hi, then pulled forward. Once I was out of the turn around area I put it back in 2 wheel drive. As I was driving down the road the vehicle was driving very sluggish. I stopped to make sure nothing was stuck in the tires or in the wheel wells. I continued driving and it did not want to go above 40 miles an hour. After about 10 minutes I heard a rather loud popping sound, followed by what sounded like a chain being dragged under the vehicle. I stopped to look under it but didn't see anything, so I slowly made my way towards home. After another few minutes it was basically undrivable, so I stopped at a friends house and got a ride home. After taking it to the mechanics they told me the front drive shaft had broken in half. I got that repaired just to be told that the rear pinion is shot and needs to be replaced as well. The vehicle had been fine up till that point, and I had used 4 wheel drive on other occasions. Now for some reason after using it this time I had a $600 bill to replace the front drive shaft and what I am being told is at least another $600 to $900 bill for the rear pinion. Anyone else have any issues with this?

2007 jeep liberty sp wagon rear differential plug came out losing all the fluids.
I own a 2007 jeep liberty limited at any given time while driving the gears seem to slip which causes the slippage light to turn on . I've taken to several jeep garages and I'm told it's not the jeep it's the way I drive the jeep that is causing this slippage of the tires or the transmission. Can you help me with this problem?
The vehicle, when going down my driveway, steep gravel, unlocks the torque converter at around 1400-1500 RPM, allowing the vehicle to 'freewheel', similar to my old 1933 plymouth. Despite numerous complaints over the past two years, the chrysler representatives insist that this is normal. Every transmission shop I have consulted, and everyone I know, believes this is not a normal function of the transmission, and in my one million plus miles of driving, I have never encountered it on any other automatic transmission.
Vehicle has 25000 miles and has had four power window regulators break, two of which were the same window. Vehicle transmission also shifts very hard between 1700 and 2100 RPM. Regulators were replaced on warranty, but I fear after warranty expires this will be very expensive. Have had no luck getting transmission fixed, everytime I take it in for repairs, I'm told they can't find anything wrong.
2007 jeep liberty with several transmission issues. Consumer states chrysler never gave a response to his letter and wants the lifetime warranty extended since chrysler changed it 4 months after he purchased vehicle and a replacement transmission. *nj the consumer stated the dealer reprogrammed the ecu several times, replaced the torque converter twice, replaced the pump, replaced the valve body, cleaned debris out of the pump, serviced the clutch, but the transmission still made a horrible noise periodically. Since the last attempt to fix the problem, the vehicle had a poor throttle response. The consumer also stated it wouldn't creep into gear like a normal automatic transmission; instead it needed significant throttle application to get moving, then it lunged.
Re: 2007 jeep liberty - sent you a certified letter on august 16. Post office shows it was delivered on august 20. Never received the returned receipt. Was mailed to 400 - 7th street in washington, dc. Was this letter received? How long is the processing before we receive any response? Should I mail it again to 1200 new jersey avenue se? Problem: with the driver's foot on the brake and the vehicle is stopping, the engine races and the car lurches forward. It requires both feet on the brake for the car to stop. It has been in for service 4 times and the dealership cannot locate the problem. The letter is more detailed, 3 pages in length. I will be happy to re-send it if you have not received it. Looking forward to your response. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.
Electrical intermittent problems with surges and bucks it goes to full throttle at any given time when not expected.
2007 jeep liberty 4wd 3.7l auto r45rle at highway speeds RPM's rise suddenly then return. Happens all the time. I suspect it is transmission related.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 jeep liberty. While idling on a moderately leveled hill at a stop light, the vehicle rolled backwards, and almost caused a crash. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection and they reprogrammed the PCM. Weeks later, the failure recurred. The contact took the vehicle back to the dealer and they repaired it according to the federal safety agency campaign id number 06v341000 (power train: automatic transmission). Weeks after the repair, the failure recurred a third time. There are no warning indicators prior to the failures. She filed a formal complaint with the manufacturer. The failure mileage was 3,000 and current mileage was 13,317.
My jeep liberty jerks between 35-55 MPH and 1400-1500 rpms. This has caused the car to slip and slid on icy roads. I first noticed it with only 200 miles on the car. It has been into the shop 7 times for this problem. They have reprogrammed the computer, replaced the fuel pump and the problem is still there. Chrylser said this is normal. I have another jeep and it does not do this. This is becoming a dangerous problem with the icy conditions where I live.
I am having shudder /shudder at anywhere between 30-45 MPH. It feels like my car is searching for a gear , it surges. Torque converter could be the issue.
The 2007 jeep liberty sport my parents and 3 year old child were in was t-boned on the passenger side by another car that was traveling at approx. 45 MPH upon impact, resulting in the jeep rolling over several times. The other car struck the jeep directly in the middle, causing the middle section to cave in, forcing the passenger seat into the dash/glove compartment. The rear axle on the passenger side separated from the frame, the drive-train separated, the gas tank ruptured, and the rear shock springs came off. The person seated in the front pass. Seat sustained a spinal fracture and brain hemorrhaging. The driver sustained internal bruising/damage from hitting the steering wheel, ultimately breaking the steering column. All occupants were wearing their seat belts.
2007 liberty developed a shudder in the power train at speeds between 30-45 MPH. I have brought the car back to the dealer 5 times in five weeks. They claim it is a new transmission design by chrysler to get better mileage. I claim it is the worst acting automatic transmission I have ever owned (40yr of driving). The dealer also claims that the transmission is acting the way it was designed to act. Yet, the sales force never mentioned the uniqueness of the new transmission.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 jeep liberty. The contact stated that the vehicle rolls backwards when pressure is released from the accelerator pedal. The dealer stated that the idle could be adjusted, but only with chrysler's permission. The current mileage was 3,900 and failure mileage was 100.
We recently purchased a 2007 jeep liberty sport. After owning it for less than a month we started to notice that the vehicle would shake (or shudder) when maintaining speeds between 35-70 MPH. The problem seemed to get worse when driving up hills. We took the vehicle in to a local jeep dealership and the torque converter was replaced. We have had the vehicle back for approximately a month now and are experiencing the shudder again. We have an appointment with the service shop next week.
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.
