My Jeep was great until 125,000 miles and we'll here we go. . . First I thought my brakes were going out and had the pads replaced, then they started "sticking" or so I thought, almost causing me to lose control going 65mph. The brakes still are not safe in my opinion after every part was replaced. I just had the hoses to the steering pump replaced and the problem still persists, only now my engine is idling at 1200 rpms in park? please help. . $1000 later and I'm no better off. Thanks. The vehicle is currently smoking under the hood and emits a strong smell of brake fluid. Also it struggles to get up hills with rpms at 2500 going only 55mph. I may be a woman but I know my car and I know it's very dangerous, whatever it may be.

Vehicle vibrates at any speed and worsens upon braking. Have had alignment done 3 times and alignment keeps failing. Tires are all new. Have had the camber and casters replaced in front, did not help vibration. Brakes have been replaced, vibration persists. Vibration is so powerful upon braking that sterring wheel bounces out of my hands. The vibration when driving sounds like I have a flat tire.

My complaint is with the Chrysler recall n46/nhsta 13v-252. I received two (2) recalls -one last Dec. 2013 and in August 2014 for the rear structure reinforcement. I called 2jeep/Chrysler dealers and was told that they were only provided 5 trailer hitches and had a waiting list of 55. I was told to call back in mid-September. This recall is a joke. I called Chrysler recall asst. Center and spoke with taylor and was told that the trailer hitches were still being manufactured and that the hitches and subsequent repairs should be done within two (2) years. This is unacceptable. I was told when I got the first recall notice to wait for the second that the parts would be available and they are not. I believe Chrysler is not acting in good faith to its customers and has no intention of replacing the recalled items. I believe that they are just waiting for the Jeeps in question to disappear and go to junk yards. They have no intention in fixing the problem. The problem with the rear structure reinforcement is just too expensive for them to fix. I feel right now that the end result of this recall that only 10% of the Jeeps in question will actually be repaired. I have never gone through such a long, deceitful recall before. I have zero faith in Chrysler doing the right thing without another governmental court order.

Since I received the first notice of the recall for my Jeep Liberty purchased new and still drive I attempted to get it repaired at a Chrysler dealer more than four times and four times telling me they were out of parts and I will receive a letter telling me when to bring it in ,none of them took any of my information and wanted to put me on a waiting list of any kind. This last time the place nearest my home was the last straw, the service manager jeff carnival at crystal automotive at 143 cortez blvd in brooksville,florida 34613. Got downright nasty with me. I suggest he would not have taken such liberties if I wasn't 72 years old and disabled. Of course I left since accomplishing nothing again. Do you have the ability to help me out with this ongoing problem. Its really been a long time getting this done. You can assure Chrysler if such a incident should occur where my wife and I are injured. My family will surely sue them for neglect and injuries. Really mad about the treatment I have been receiving.

Recall #l27 recall issued to "northern states" for the effect of salt on lower rear arms. I live in ruidoso new mexico in a snow/salt area at 7,000 foot elevation. I almost had a wreck with the lower rear arms malfunctioning. I had the car repaired and then found out there was a recall issued years before. Chrysler has refused to pay the invoice for fixing the lower rear arms. They claim the recall is for "northern states" only. Sorry, this appears to be a Chrysler financial decision. Since they admit that salt can negatively effect the lower rear arms, the error seems to be Chrysler defining where in the country there are heavy salt/snow winters. I am simply thankful we did not have a wreck and want reimbursement for the repair. I feel it is grave mistake not to have the recall apply to Jeep Liberty 2014. If the car is not in a salt/snow area there should be no reason for recall repairs. If a car is used in a salt/snow area anywhere in the united states and it is impacted by salt then the recall repair should be completed. And--it is the right thing to do.

Notified by the local repair chain worker that my front suspension needed to be fixed as soon as possible. The repair would cost about 1800. 00 or so. I just recently graduated from school & live pay check to pay check. I them called the local Jeep dealership (sam swope Jeep) and was confirmed that there had been previous recalls related to the Liberty''s suspension system. I also wrote to the manufacturer, but have not heard anything from them. The dealership said that the recall repairs were taken care of. If it was" taken care of" then I shouldn't have the suspension needing repair. Either the recall repair was shoddy work. Not actually done. Or the work was a temporary fix. In either case, I need the manufacturer to make the repair at no cost to me & provide s loaner vehicle while the repair is being made. Regarding the recall I found that. . . . Consequence: when the driver continues to operate the vehicle with this condition, the contamination can lead to corrosion, accelerated wear and possibly separation from the steering knuckle causing a loss of vehicle steering control increasing the risk of a crash. I have to travel the highways and across a bridge to get to and from work. I do not want to be a fatality or be the cause of someone being a part of an accident or fatality. The manufacturer should want to maintain a good customer relationship and have a loyal customer. Also, the manufacturer should want to value their reputation.

I have a 2004 Jeep Liberty and I have had this front end shaking when you get up to 40 plus mph and the front tires seems to drag.

I was driving my mother's Jeep Liberty on Thursday morning and I accidentally veered over to the right and went over a sandbag on the road. The car flipped over and spun out of control and I was unable to grasp any control of the car. The car was completely totaled. However, I do feel that this loss was not a cause of hit such a small object on the road but rather that the suspension on this SUV was not reinforced properly. I was not aware at the time, until after researching this vehicle that a recall was found for this make and model.

Complaint received via e-mail, I'm sure I'm not the only one with a Jeep Liberty that pulls to the right. My family has 2 2004 Liberty. One brought February this year and came straight out of the showroom, pulling badly to the right. I had to take vehicle to the dealer 3 times, and finally was sent to an alignment place. Bought another Liberty in June, and it's pulling to the right. This is dangerous. ".
