What owners say
Brakes were locking up as I was driving the vehicle. ABS module needs reprogramming. Mechanic inspected, he states the brakes could lock up without this update only available from Chryslar. This repair is in a recall but not for my vin number. I have been told my vehicle is unsafe to drive. ABS light on in gauge cluster.
The contact owns a 2006 Jeep Liberty. The contact stated while driving at slow speeds, the driver's side front of vehicle lowered to the ground causing a tire blowout. The ABS and TPMS warning lights were illuminated. The contact called the local dealer however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified however, no further assistance was provided. The contact stated that the failure was related to the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 18V278000 (Suspension). The failure mileage was 179,323.
There is a grinding noice coming from either the transfer case or the dove shaft, either was it is loud and causes lights on the dash to come on and stay illuminated the lights are as follows: ABS, traction control, esp bas, and service 4wd.
My vehicle was in motion and I was driving on a three lane street with a speed limit of 45 MPH when the ABS brake system suddenly seized. The brakes remained engaged and the only way I could drive my car was to put it in reverse, then neutral then drive. My entire drive home I could hear the brakes and whenever I had to stop at a stop sign the brakes would lock.
Yesterday my ABS and esb lights came on. I did notice a bit of grinding type noise approximately twice in a full day of driving. Today, same thing, but lights went off a couple of times right after start up. My brakes and tires were replaced in late august. The repair shop said my brakes were in good order but the right rear wheel speed sensor is bad. If this doesn't correct issue, a wheel alignment and reset the steering angle is recommended. None of these issues would warrant the odd grinding noise when breaking and only occassionally does this happen and it did not occur when the technician drove it. This was all on city streets and driving straight in good weather. A quick google search indicates this is a problem with many owners of the 2006 jeep liberty. Many people have replaced the brakes, sensors, rotors and all things brakes but still experience the lights and the noise. Often, there is reference made to the clock spring. Since I saw so many complaints and my repairman was so vague that his recommendations would actually solve the issue, I felt it is worthy of investigating.
After driving several minutes on a city street, multiple dash light come on, ABS, traction control, esp, and bas. This happens once a week. This problem seems to occur on days above 75 degrees. From the research I have done. I believe its the steering angle sensor / clock sensor. This appears to be a common problem as it was easy to find the information on utube.
Abs light keeps going off even when brakes and rotors has been replaced . Brakes will skip or make a shaking vibration on the pedal when press and makes it hard to stop or impossible while in motion rather driving in the city or on the highway.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. The contact stated that an independent mechanic diagnosed that the undercarriage had rusted extensively. The ABS sensor lights remained on because the undercarriage was sagging toward the tires setting off the sensors. The mechanic stated that when he touched the undercarriage rust fell off in his hands. The mechanic refused the fix the vehicle and referred the contact back to the manufacturer. The manufacturer stated that similar vehicle were subjected to a recall. The manufacturer was provided the VIN however, there was no recall associated with the vehicle. The contact was informed to contact the federal safety agency hotline to file a complaint. The failure mileage was 94,000. *bf consumer stated the "arm" was recalled and replaced but has rusted. Consumer's mechanic is willing to answer any questions regarding the issue.
All the lights pertaining to the break ABS and stability controls are on. Sometimes when breaking the ABS kicks in and we are not breaking hard and on dry pavement its been going on for about a month now. Took it to a repair shop and was told that there is a recall on it. But nothing comes up on this site
