My engine and the entire electrical stop while driving, every system stopped while driving in the middle of the road. This vehicle has had many issues from defective drivers seats, oil leaks, windows not working, seat belt malfunctions, recalls, head rest issues, leaks from who know where the dealer had it time and time again misdiagnosed it several times, it was in the jeep dealer and did not even make it out of the parking lot went it stopped again. All warning lights went on waring for several problems it is now stuck in my home. This jeep is as fca knows a lemon these problems go back years even when I bought it , it has never ever worked or operated properly or safely. Needs to be all recalled and refund all my monies

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 jeep liberty. The contact stated while opening driver's side door, the horn activated without warning. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with needing the tipm to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 79,000.
Jeep died while driving on the dash it said no fuse then my battery died also my alternator I still haven't been able to fix it because I don't know where to look we took it to a mechanic and he replaced the alternator 5 times and still has issues
We had issues with car not starting all winter, but could be jumped. We bought a new battery & it worked well for a while. Then wipers started turning on randomly & over head lights would turn on. Then the car wouldn't start again, turn the key over & it started. Then it died again & every thing worked bit it wouldn't started, so we jumped it. I barely got home because it would barely drive. It has been parked in the driveway since with a red light on control panel on. Fuse box looks fine. It only clicks when the key is turned & the dash goes crazy.
Traveling last night and the lights went up, down then out for almost 20 seconds and doing 40 MPH is scary. The lights finally came on but then they dim up and down. Before this last week the cruise control would not disengage. I never know what's going to happen when I drive this vehicle and the worst thing is taking it out at night and having the lights go out. This week was the forth time that has happened thank god it happened on a lighted road but I still had no brake lights. All times this has happened I've been on interstate highways and traveling at night
As as I was driving doing around 50 my skyslider rood opened up just like that and I have many leaks coming in causin my electrical components to malfunction at times and I also have my sensor that stays on stating low air pare tire waited 6 months for a part from the dealer and now I'm scared to even open it up and still have the lots of leaks on any rainy day this is ridiculous bec that was the selling point as to why I got this vehicle and now I'm to scared to use it bec I've heard from others that it comes lose and flies off causing accidents pls pls someone do something bout this bec it's not right and there is no help for jeep thanks
When the vehicle is on and in motion the tire pressure comes on and blinks and stays solid whenever a car charger is in the charging port. The sensor let's the driver think it needs air in the tires when it doesn't.
The vehicles doors lock and unlock while the car is in motion. The lights have gone out while moving down the road. The wipers will intermittently go on and off . The lights on the dash and radio will dim while driving. The car shifts multiple times while moving.
When driving through town the dash lights up completely with all the warnings coming on and the wipers turn on and won't turn off. The warnings include the brakes and airbags. This has happened 3 times in a few days. We had it diagnosed and they said it's the tipm module. This jeep doesn't even have 100k miles yet and there are tons of reports of this issue online.
Had a accident and airbag light would not come off also the electric system would not come on horn would not work and other things. Rotor had to to be replace, off the suspention ? Light on. Was hit on drivers side, hit and run my insurance was used. Had to send to dealer two times and get towed 2 times. Had
My window on the drivers side started to act up and the next day all controls to every window quit working and now its very cold out side. Plus the heat for the floor quit working also.
The evap container isnt the right part and obviously was actually for a jeep wrangler and has an extra inlet. After numerous attempts to contact jeep for the last 4 months and still nothing this vehicle will stall while driving and it drives alot of interstate travel which is a huge safety risk and still have gotten nowhere all I want is for jeep to make this right and fix the manufacturer mess up.
Radio doesnt work -wipers come on by them selfs-little heat turn blow up brake lights come on, slip light for tires comes on dash and seat belt guy with airbag lights up on dash -motor loses power driving down road with heater blower on. Took to mr. Tire auto service center for a full curtesy inspepection and they found out its eletrical issue . I have a video of me sitting in my work parking lot with the lights on dash . I dont know what the heater has to do with the lights on dash or my brake lights coming on and radio not working and why the motor loses power drive it im scard of driving it because of a fire braking out but I have no choice it the only vechicle I have to drive back and forth to work. I had this vehicle for less then three years.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 jeep liberty. The contact stated that while driving about 60 MPH, the vehicle slowed down and lost power. The brake, the air bag, seat belts, the heater core and some other unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact also stated that the radio did not work. The vehicle was taken to the ferrario auto team of sayre dealer (570‑888‑2367, located at 102 spring st, sayre, pa 18840) where the technician recommended a diagnostic test. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the diagnostic test should be covered. However, the dealer stated no. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 139,000.
Cluster backlighting random instrument backlight goes off or flickers
The instrument cluster lights intermittently turn off, sometimes just a 1/4 of the RPM gauge, sometime both 1/4 of RPM and MPH gauge, sometimes half of one, none of the other, sometimes 3/4 of both, sometimes all of MPH and RPM gauge. It is totally random what will be illuminated and what won't be. Digital compass displays only dashes, no direction. Windows will roll down (power windows) but will not roll back up unless you turn off the jeep and turn it back on
After driving the vehicle to my destination and shutting it off. It will not restart when I go to drive it to the next location .this has happened numerous times. It has left me stranded a couple times. While driving the vehicle to a location the headlights seem to dim on their own. After having a mechanic look at it. I was told it was the tipm causing the issues.
Jeep will just die while driving down the road, engine shuts off, got to the side of the road safely, the second time was able to get into a parking lot all the lights came on wipers came on while in the off position, windows stopped working locks stopped working, fuel gauge said empty when its full if this happened on a highway could be life threatening as everything stops working power steering brakes
The tipm(total integrated power module) has sticking or defective relays, fails to properly work on factory installed trailer hitch, and now rear braking lights staying on, causing a dead battery. I had to pull a fuse to stop this. The tipm has had a long history of manufacturing defects in other chrysler vehicles which were recalled, replaced by mfr. I recommend the same for this model.
My driver's side door to my 2012 jeep liberty caught fire. The door started to smoke once I started the ignition. I smelled a burning smell and then I notice smoke coming out of the driver side window seal. I pulled off to the side of the road, and turned off the ignition. I notice the smoke continued to worsen even though I turned off the ignition. The smoke became small flame quickly. I crawled to the passenger side of the car to exit. I called 911 the fire dept was dispatched to put out the fire. Once they got there they removed the battery cables from the battery under the hood sprayed the whole entire jeep inside and out. Its was scary to know something I work so hard to have and pay for caught on fire like that. I can't believe that I was driving around in something that was a fire hazard and unsafe. Thank god I survived through something so dangerous. All of this took place on a city street. I wasn't able to recover much of my belongings because of all the water that was used by the fire department to put the fire out.
The radio keeps skipping while playing the radio, cds and during bluetooth.
Car wouldnt start; when finally did, pulled out to road, couldnt get it to go past 35 MPH, pressed gas pedal, even tachometer wouldnt go faster; couldnt get any getup and go; pulled to side of road, put in park, tapped accelerator few times, wouldnt accelerate; afraid to shutdown, so started out on road (45 MPH speed), car wouldnt accelerate past 35, finally got home; shut off, wouldnt start again. Calling dealer. Looks like others have similar problem. Engine light came on, red light under it flashed then stayed on.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 jeep liberty. While driving various speeds, the sky slider unintentionally opened. As a result, the vehicle had water damage, which caused electrical failure and various unknown warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to brown's jeep chrysler dodge ram (483 ny-112, east patchogue, ny 11772, (888) 615-2184) where the contact was informed that the parts for the failure were discontinued. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 60,000.
Something with the starter and something with the back latch can't lock vechicle up do to the alarm will go off
All my lights are on in dash(check engine,tire pressure,traction control,ABS) when this happens my AC doesn't work...the gauages doesn't work. Test done by mechanic say communication failed...
My boyfriend was looking at my jeep back in may/june of 2018 to try to see if he could fix the AC. He disconnected the battery so that he could work behind the dash without risk of getting shocked for any reason, as well as the wiring to the 4 wheel drive switch so it would be out of the way while he worked behind the dash. When he went to reconnect the battery and the wiring for the 4 wheel drive, the vehicle got stuck in 4 wheel drive. We tried for what seemed like hours to get it to pop back to 2 wheel drive but nothing worked. We slowly drove it the few miles to bluebonnet jeep in new braunfels, tx to have them look at it and fix the AC too while they had it. They had my jeep for 2 weeks and nothing got done to remedy either issue until we had to physically go in and see what was going on. When we got there they hadn't worked on the jeep hardly at all. They never did a diagnostic to see what the problem was with the 4 wheel drive and then tried to replace my transmission. We had to load the jeep up on a trailer and haul it to another shop. That shop took apart my entire jeep and followed all of the wires back to see what was wrong. That's when they found that components were missing from my jeep to make it an actual 4 wheel drive. They made it so I can drive it but trying to fix the 4 wheel completely will be costly. I have expressed my concerns to chrysler jeep and basically they are telling me that I am going to have to pay more money for something that bluebonnet jeep should have done in the first place before they will consider any type of action. The shop that looked at it and did the diagnostic has detailed notes and diagrams but that apparently is not sufficient. I don't believe that I should have to fork out the money to have the diagnostic done when jeep is at fault for it not being done in the first place.
Im writing to see if my vehicle still qualify for the recall and the jeep is experience all the descriptions that are posted.
Tipm issue. All dash lights come on. All gauges drop to zero except fuel gauge. Ac stops working. Car still runs and is drivable, but you can't see your speed limit. I feel this should be recalled as this could potentially be very dangerous. This can happen while stationary or driving. Issue seems to come and go, but problem sticks around more than not.
Well serviced vehicle with 88,000 miles. Driving on a residential street when smoke began coming out of climate vents. Noted engine temperature gauge at normal. Stopped the car and turned off. Fire noted under the hood near the windshield. Within minutes, the car became fully engulfed and burned completely before fire department could arrive.
Moon roof that came with the car not weather resistant. Entire roof came off during a drive
