Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 24 of 24, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Purchased vehicle used in 2013 11/17/2015 1. Engine continues to run when key is removed from ignition switch. While parked. First noticed last week 11/08/2015 (only as long as the preset time on the radio shut off or the door is opened) 2. With cruise control set and going up hill, transmission down shifts to maintain speed. While trying to keep speed up and then break applied, excessive force is required to dis-engage cruise control. While driving at normal speeds. For as long as I can remember. (break switch has been changed twice) 3. While filling fuel tank at gas station, paying close attention to the pump, fuel will pour out from the filler neck after the pump has shut off. For as long as I can remember. (many occasions) 4. Check engine light continuously on. Possible damage to hoses on emissions canister in left rear wheel well due to gas spillage? (as long as I can remember) 5. Gas cap indicator comes on at start. Possible damage to hoses on emissions canister in left rear wheel well due to gas spillage? (need to manually turn off, changed gas cap twice) 6. It seems that all things electrical have a delay to their function, flashing high beams, honking horn... While parked or driving. For as long as I can remember. (all of the time)
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. While driving at an unknown speed, smoke was present coming from the rear passenger side. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the smoke was coming from the rear passenger wheel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the brake caliper seized. The caliper was replaced and the failure was remedied. The contact indicated that the vehicle later experienced the same failure involving the brake calipers on both the front driver and passenger sides. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 80,000.

Me dijeron que cobraban 2500$ una suma muy alta y para colmo el vehculo no vale ni la mitad en que me lo vendieron. Este dealer me estafo.nunca me hablo claro . Espero me ayuden. Gracias
The parking brake failed to engage on my 2008 jeep liberty automatic transmission. While the parking brake was fully engaged with the jeep in neutral the jeep rolled backward and struck the wall causing minor right front fender damage. Fortunately the jeep hit the wall stopping it from rolling down the driveway into traffic or running over pedestrians. Note; there is a recall on the 2008 jeep liberty, chrysler recall #h28 with manual transmission but not on the automatic which uses the exact same parking brake system. Why isn't there a recall for this vehicle? Emergency/parking brake system should be there when you need it and if the hydraulic braking system should fail. This is a vehicle safety alert that must be addressed.
The rear brake calipers and pads are not lasting. I have to replace them every 20.000 miles never had a vehicle that eats through brakes like this one does.
My air compressor started making a terrible screeching noise. The mechanic stated that the air compressor in jeeps do not last after a couple of years. How has this not been rectified? Also, my traction and ABS lights come on and cause me to be unable to stop when I press the brakes. This is not from normal wear and tear of driving a car.
Jeep started to shake. When taking your foot off the gas pedal, auto almost came to a stop. Went straight to repair shop. Caliper assembly was replaced on rear passenger side. Second caliper malfunctioned on june 30, 2014. Parts have been back ordered since july 1, 2014. Chrysler is producing bad parts and although no accidents are reported yet, they will be. This should not be happening on a vehicle with less than 50,000 miles. Webb site has 100's of people with same problem that re-occurs within a short time. Please check into this for all jeep owners.
With the parking brake fully engaged, the vehicle is fully drive able once automatic transmission is engaged. Warning light, on dash, and alarm sounds but the parking brake does not keep, or even impede, the car from moving. Have had this issue addressed three times, at two different dealerships, and parking brakes do not work.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. The contact stated that the emergency brake malfunctioned. While the vehicle was parked on an incline with the emergency brake engaged, the vehicle rolled backward. The contact was able to secure an appointment to have the failure diagnosed. The contact was concerned with the possibility of being involved in a crash. The failure mileage was 27,000.
The emergency brakes on my 2008 jeep liberty does not hold. I complained to 2 jeep dealership and they said that there is no recall for my jeep and they could replace the whole emergency brake system at my expense.
Tl*the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. While driving 45 MPH, the brakes, vehicle speed control, and steering locked up, but the vehicle maintained its speed. The vehicle did not stall. The contact shifted into park and skid off the road. The failure occurred at least three times on november 19, 2008. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, but they could not find any failures. There were no warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. The failure mileage was 6,500.
I'm waiting there is a light change when I push and hold the brake to stop the car and it will move abruptly forward.
When at a stop, on a very little or slight incline, less than 7% by placing the vehicle in reverse the following occurs. Vehicle will surge about 6 inches and stop then surge about 6 inches and stop, by applying more throttle, engine RPM approx 2500 to 3000 the vehicle will move. Turned off the hill start assist (hsa) problem solved. No advise from dealer as to cause of original stated problem or repair.
