2009 Jeep Liberty electrical complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 19 of 19, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Variable times, variable speeds, when occupant in front passenger seat, the air-bag warning light on the dash illuminates. Cause unknown. Implications unknown.
I have had my jeep since it was new. In the beginning my radio would cut off or lock up and I had it tested and nothing was found. Then my espoff, 4wd, service, 4 wd low light would come on and go off. I took it in and was not charged because noting showed up. But the mechanic said he had heard of others had the same complaint. Then while I was driving at night at approximately 65 MPH I started to roll my window up and the lift gate light came on and all the lights inside the vehicle came on and I could not adjust or turn them off. This has happened now 3 times and it is a definite safety concern when all the lights and a vehicle comes on while driving at night.
I bought my jeep brand new in april of 2009. When it was just a few months old, I started experiencing a phantom 'ding' that would normally be associated with low fuel, check engine, etc. But when the ding would sound, no warning lights would appear. Tried to have dealer find problem, they couldn't replicate since it was so random, so it never got fixed. Around april of this year (2013) the ding still continues to drive me nuts, and now my 'espoff,' '4wd,' 'service 4wd,' and '4low' lights come on and off at random;sometimes every ten seconds while I'm driving. Also, my radio/nav screen system will randomly turn itself off and restart. Took it to the dealer, they said they have gotten this same complaint from a lot of other people, but there is no recall issued. I was told the problem with the stereo alone is a $1,200 fix and that I'm better off going to a car audio dealer and getting something custom done. I can't believe there isn't a recall for this, it is very distracting to have all these lights coming on and off while driving, not to mention unnerving. Also, my lift gate window has always leaked around the seal, even after the dealer replaced it. They said they tested it under high pressure wash and it didn't leak, then a few days later it rained and there was water all over the inside of my lift gate.
Car would not start. Called aaa who made several attempts to start car but all failed. Tow driver said he thought key was problem since all electrical was fine. Said he had approx six incidents in recent months with jeep/chrysler and all were due to key failure. I was towed from jfk airport to jeep dealer in wantagh. It was determined key **deprogrammed** and so failed. I asked if there was any indication this failure was going to happen and they said no. They replaced one key under warranty and charged me 206.00 for second key. I wrote to jeep/chrysler for reimbursement and was denied. A failure like this could cause serious issues .
My driver side rear light stopped working, the light above my license plate only works intermittently, and my rear windshield wiper also malfunctions - it either wont turn off once it's turned on, or it wont work at all.
The actuator in my heating system went out, and needed to be replaced, at only 52,000 miles.
Failure of 2009 (drivers side) rear brake light with only 17,000 miles. Have noted a number of same make and model car with same drivers side brake light out. Took it to dealer but due to cost, replaced blub myself. Was told by dealer it could also be an over load on the electrical circut causing premature failure of blub on just that one side. First new car in over 40 years I have had under two years with 17000 miles have just the one side brake light go out. Fearful of a bigger problem and possible collision from other cars if they fail to see my brake light.
My key on my my 2002 jeep liberty will no longer turn the ignition.
