Tl the contact owns a 2004 Jeep Liberty. The contact stated that the brake pedal seized without warning while driving at any speed. The contact stated that the brake pedal would stick when depressed and would not move. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but no failure was found. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer and dealer were not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 100,000.

Brakes lockup without any notice, it happened while driving down the highway.

Have not been notified of any recalls and when I called the dealer they said I didnt have any recalls but when I check in the date base it said I had two recalls; I would like to get notified of the recalls by a dealership.

Driving under 10 mph lightly applied breaks vehicle went into a spin. This has occurred three times now over the last three weeks. Luckily was able to avoid accidents each time. First two occurrences were experienced by my daughter. I took the vehicle for a test drive to determine cause/issue and found that the vehicle is dangerously defective when breaking a low speeds. I ran the vehicle up to 10 mph I applied the breaks in a controlled area while going ~10 mph on a straight away. Without warning the vehicle went into a terrible spin doing a 360 3 times. Felt as vehicle was going to tip. When this occurred to my daughter she reported that one side of the vehicle lifted off the ground.

Goes in reverse but when putting it into drive goes a foot and the breaks come on by themselves. Locks up and cant move. Does this in my driveway and on the road, not drivable. I almost got killed when the breaks locked up and a vehicle behind me had to avoid hitting me. This is a manufacture defect and should be recalled before someone does get killed. There are no pictures to upload you cant see inside the break system or what ever it is that is causing this horrible waiting to be fatal accident.

The contact owns a 2004 Jeep Liberty. While the vehicle was stopped at a red light, it accelerated independently even while the brake pedal was depressed. The vehicle had to be placed into neutral in order to stop. The vehicle was taken to galeana Chrysler Jeep kia (180 greystone blvd, columbia, SC 29210) where the dealer stated that there was no issue with the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure recurred several more times. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 15,800.

Vehicle was in motion on city street, turning a corner at approximately 20 mph the front end suspension: control arm snapped/ disconnected from the lower ball joint. Axle shaft assembly/ cv drive shaft broke. Cost of repair $1500.

Heard some kind of pop, then some grinding when holding the brake down and turning the wheel. Took car to my regular mechanic. They found all 4 ball joints boots perforated & handed me a recall notice for lower ball joints only that was from sept. 2006. I purchased the vehicle Jan. 2006 & never rec'd this recall. Even when I went to the dealer for the fuel tank recall on 7/11/15, they didn't notify me of it. I went on moparownerconnect. Com & it shows this recall as repaired, which obviously isn't possible. According to audomd. Com there are several issues related to this vehicle through different manufacturers. I have an appt. Set up at the dealer next week & depending on what they say about fixing all the ball joints and checking for other safety concerns, I may be sending in another complaint.

The brakes locked up and smoking very heavily when I got home. The vehicle is parked now as I am afraid to drive it and cannot afford to fix it. The distance from when the brakes locked up to my house is 1 (one) mile.

The contact owns a 2004 Jeep Liberty. While driving at 55 mph, the brakes seized without warning. The failure recurred five times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician inspected the vehicle, but was unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 179,000.

Parked vehicle at gas pump. Set parking brake, left transmission in neutral (engine idling). Got out of vehicle and it then started rolling forward. The parking brake has never worked correctly since I bought this vehicle at about 14,000 miles and still doesn't even after having the parking brake shoes and springs replaced. I replaced them because the right-rear parking brake has taken to sticking while driving. A couple of times I've come home and gotten out of my vehicle to an acrid smell of burning and the excessively high temperatures coming from the right rear brakes. It's been a while since the gas-station incident happened, and the only reason it still doesn't happen is I never leave it parked out of gear anymore. The parking brake is worthless and would never be of use to stop the vehicle in an emergency where the primary braking system has failed. Someone could have been hurt or killed if I hadn't been right there to jump in my vehicle to stop it from rolling.

The contact owns a 2004 Jeep Liberty. While the vehicle was parked for 15 minutes with the emergency brake applied, it spontaneously rolled thirty feet and crashed into another vehicle. There were no occupants in the vehicle at the time. She is in the process of having the vehicle inspected to determine the cause of the failure. The contact has a copy of the police report and pictures of the failed incident. The failure and current mileages were 80,000.

Twice in the past two months vehicle did a 360 degree turn after the brakes were applied. One occurrence was on wet road surface, and the other incident occurred on dry road surface. An accident investigator ruled out the abs brakes being as the cause. An accident occurred on the wet surface with the vehicle colliding into barrier.
