The vehicle gears slipped into neutral but back to drive without assistance on my part. Once at a stop sign when I resumed driving. Once turning a corner. Once getting ready to back up. / I took it to have the transmission fluid level checked and it checked out ok. There have been no transmission recalls reported on the 2012 Jeep Liberty. The pan and filter had had a leak and was replaced a couple of weeks before this slippage happened

My heater takes 45-60 mins to heat up my car, and it doesn’t blow full force when it’s on the highest setting. On cold days I literally have to start my car up 45 before I need to leave just to have a slight warmth inside. Once I’m moving, it barely blows any heat through the vents. The highest setting feels like it’s on the lowest setting.

I was hit on my passenger front, while attempting to cross into a parking lot, so hard until my tire rod bent at a 90* angle. My passenger airbag didn't deploy. None of my airbags deployed. There was no blind spot warning. Even after the impact, there was no alarm or notification of the damage, as the firemen were attempting to drive my car out of the road.

Vehicle is attractive and functional. Air bags probably saved the wife's life in a t bone accident. The air conditioner and heater work great. There is too much plastic...everywhere! Seats are uncomfortable on long trips. Water pump locked up with just over 50k miles. Transmission is self destructing at 62k miles this month. It seems the transmission has no dip stick for the owner to check the fluid. If it did the transmission problem could have been noticed sooner. Now we must pay for a transmission and labor because it is out of warranty, $4k! The vehicle gets regular use in county, city and highway trips. On nice paved texas roads. It is well maintained and only driven by two adults, age 72.I believe there is a quality issue with the drivetrain parts. We have owned other jeeps. They had the old reliable inline 6cyl engine and three speed transmission. Very reliable.
