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.

Gear shifter indicates jeep I is in park, but vehicle rolls and will not start in this position. Must "wiggle" four wheel drive shifter to get car into neutral to restart car. Vehicle rolls unless held in place by emergency brake.

I was on the highway came to a stop at a traffic light the jeep stalled and would not restart (no crank, no start). The traffic light was on a incline of a hill, the jeep was too heavy for one person to push up, and rolling backwards into oncoming 60+MPH traffic was not a option. A group of good citizens helped push the jeep to safety. Battery was fully charged, but security light was on, preventing a restart. In addition when the key is turn to the start position the check engine light does not light up as normal. Plus ECM is not connecting to the scan tool. Scan tool displays connection error. The ECM failed. Before the failure the jeep ran perfect.

When starting vehicle it will not turn over. It continues to crank until ignition is switched off. This problem does not happen all the time and is very unpredictable. Typically after several attempts the vehicle will start up correctly. The vehicle has done this in the cold and in the heat, after running fine all day or sitting turned off over night.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. The contact stated that the vehicle would not start. Also, while the vehicle was in motion, the windshield wipers would activate, the horn would sound, the door locks would lock and unlock on their own, and the vehicle would not shift or exceed 20 MPH. An independent mechanic diagnosed that the electrical system and totally integrated power module caused the failures. The mechanic also stated that the failures would occur with no key in the ignition. The dealer (ed voyles chrysler dodge jeep ram, 789 cobb pkwy se, marietta, ga 30060, (844) 715-5921) stated that since there was no recall they could not assist. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired for the exact same failures back in 2016. The manufacturer stated that there was only a twelve month warranty on the original repairs performed in 2016. The failure mileage was 105,000.

Once the vehicle has been driven and then turned off, it will not start for 20 to 30 minutes until it has cooled off. It is not showing any codes,not overheating or running hot, spark plugs, spark plug wires, alternator, and battery have been replaced. I've seen several complain about the same issue with 2002 liberties and newer. It is apparently an issue with a transmission shift module being too close to a heat source, and it can't tell the vehicle is in park until the engine cools down. If you drive it and leave it off for less than 5 minutes there is not an issue, but if it's turned off more than 5 minutes it takes between 20 and 30 minutes before it will start. It started several months ago so I'm not sure of the exact date. I can turn it off and do a remote start with the key and it will start back up if the remote start time hasn't expired yet, but I shouldn't have to do that to be able to start it again.

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.
