2010 Jeep Liberty: engine stalls while driving

Filed Mar 6, 2019 · Electrical · 80,000 miles · NY

While driving after about 5 - 10 minutes, the battery light on the dash lit up and made a dinging noise. I parked came back out to leave 3 hours later, and the car was completely dead. There was no clicking, no noised when turning the key to start the car. We tried jumping the car with 2 different jump boxes and 1 set of cables. None of those worked. I then had the car towed to dealership service center. They thought it was the alternator, changed it, and I picked the car up from the service center, again 5 minutes into driving the light came on and my car died while driving maybe 10 minutes later on the the thruway. Again, not able to jump the battery so it was towed back to the service center. They thought it might be a faulty alternator, and changed it out. The battery light still came on, and discovered it was the power train control module (tipm) that was failing, and burning through the alternators.

Tipms is bad. While going down highway the horn started blowing non stop the windshield wipers and fluid began to go extremely fast, the car stalled out when I tried to turn it off but horn windshield etc continue to go after car was off and keys out. The locks and security no longer work, the AC/heat no longer works.

Over 2 weeks ago, I was coming home with my 2 year old, and as we came off the highway, the battery light came on, then a bunch of other random lights on the dash popped on and beeped at me. I heard the car die right as I coasted into a gas station. Tried to jump with 3 different cables and it wouldn't jump. Next day, replaced the battery and it started up fine. Drove to work (about 5 miles) and the battery light came on again as I came across a hill. More dash lights came on and it died again. Had a mechanic replace the alternator, and then we had to get a 2nd new battery because I killed the first one. Later that day I drove it around, and after about 5-10 minutes of driving, as I was coming up a hill, the battery light came on. Turned around and came home. Next day I drove about 10 minutes across town and back and the light came on again, but it made it. I thought maybe the battery was just trying to get charged up, so I drove on the highway for about an hour and it was fine. When I came off the highway, all the dash lights started coming on and dinging at me... And then it died again in a parking lot. Would jump at first but RPM meter would jump up and down and then die. Eventually it wouldn't jump at all. Replaced the alternator again. Jumped the vehicle, let it sit running for about 10 minutes. Revved the engine and it died. Won't start. Won't even click. Called jeep and they thought it was a bad PCM. Mechanic rented a special tool to test it. The PCM is fine, but the tipm module is bad. Now all my other weird issues are making sense: radio dials sometimes don't work, sometimes it stalls in the cold at randomly. And the air flap actuators stopped working, meaning that no air/heat blows out the top vents. And then it dying on me randomly, with no other warnings that things were going wrong.

2010 jeep liberty limited 4x4 began to intermittently start and not have headlights, sometimes the lights would not come on at all, other times only the parking lights would work, and other times only the headlights would work. It was taken to both a jeep dealer as well as a local garage and no one could find an issue. They tried replacing the switch but this did not help either. Eventually, the issue got worse and the lights have now shut off while driving at night on highways, local roads, ect. And has become unsafe to drive. Jeep still claims to never have seen anything like this however multiple complaints exists online for similar complaints, a local garage told me about the tipm issues and even upon suggesting the replacement of this part, jeep insisted this couldn't be the issue. Now the lights are really acting up, shutting off while driving, flashing frequently, only parking lights work sometimes, sometimes only one light works, and other issues are beginning (starting randomly, horn / alarm randomly going off,ect) jeep still refusing that this is the issue and wants to replace / repair other things first. Currently looking into replacement tipm personally, as at this point, the jeep liberty is unsafe to drive, especially at night.

As I was leaving work, I started up my jeep and the flashers started flashing by themselves. After about 5 minutes of turning the jeep on and off, turning the hazard switch on and off, it finally stopped. A few weeks later, for the 5th time, my jeep refused to start after a stop at the local pharmacy. The horn has not worked for about a year now, and right before it died, it would honk randomly whether the jeep was parked, key in the ignition or not. It has also stalled a few times on the freeway. Dealer has recommended replacement of the tipm and says that this is a common occurrence.

Driving my 2010 jeep liberty, stopped at a stop light and the car shuttered slightly and died. Brand new 7 month old car, battery is fine, started right back up, just stalled out for no apparent reason. Not on a incline, car was flat, automatic transmission, 68 degrees outside, not hot/overheating, no gauge or warning lights came on before or after it died. No AC was in use. Only thing being used was vent and the cigarette lighter to power my son's dvd player in the back seat. No stereo was on either. Online research showed in jeep forums that other owners have had this similar problem with their jeeps stalling out for no apparent reason. Jeep has given them no explanation or offer to fix. Taking mine in on monday am to dealer to inquire as to what could have possible caused this. Do not know if mine is part of the two recalls that jeep has out now for the liberty but will inquire about them as well, and ask if they could be the cause of mine stalling out for no reason.
