1 Wiring problem

Failure Date: 10/06/2020

Drivers side door lock and rear view mirror control does not work at all. Seems to be the wiring that goes thru the door into the body. This is a safety hazard. Not possible to get a photo due to the covering of the wires cannot be opened.

2 Wiring problem

Failure Date: 12/29/2015

While driving to work my engine just quit as I was shifting from 4th to 5th gear. I coasted off to the side of the highway and saw smoke coming from under the hood. When I lifted the hood, there were flames shooting up from everywhere! the biggest flames were near the side of the battery, but not on the battery so I shut the hood and moved away from the vehicle. Within the 5 minutes it took the fire department to arrive, it was completely burned up, including the front panel inside the Jeep. Any part of the front of the vehicle that was not metal, was gone. . . Burnt!! as of this time, it is still unknown to me what caused the fire but Chrysler sent an investigator out to view the vehicle and sent me a letter stating they would not be doing anything about it. I believe it was a wiring problem and have never had anyone work on any of the wiring since I purchased the Jeep in 2010. I have no invoices to show repairs( as vehicle is totaled beyond repair), insurance( it did not cover a non collision fire) or etc. . . Just pictures and a fire report, if you want those.

3 Wiring problem

Failure Date: 11/02/2013

I have a Jeep Liberty (2004, 2wd, v6) and have a problem with the headlights turning off for a second and then back on for no apparent reason. When this happens the relay can be heard opening and closing. Unfortunately I have not been able to find an accurate electrical schematic (the one in the hayes book does not seem to agree with the wiring in the car).

4 Wiring problem

Failure Date: 08/16/2012

Vehicle indicated that passenger front door was ajar, this after ten minutes of driving. Door was in fact not ajar. Passenger opened and closed door just to check, door then would no longer fully close. Pulled manual lock to see if it was stuck, whole piece came out. Smoke started pouring out of hole and door metal was very hot to the touch. Removed door panel to put out fire inside. Lock actuator motor melted down and parts were smoldering. During this process the electronic back glass popped open as well and will no longer latch either. Chrysler recalled some 2004 Liberty's for these motors overheating and seizing, was informed that this vehicle was not included and that we should have 'maintained the wiring in the door'. This vehicle is meticulously maintained!.
