Tl the contact owns a 2010 Jeep Liberty. While reversing into the driveway, all the warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel, the vehicle shut off, and was unable to restart. The contact determined that the failure was due to a defective alternator. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 92,000.
While driving after about 5 - 10 minutes, the battery light on the dash lit up and made a dinging noise. I parked came back out to leave 3 hours later, and the car was completely dead. There was no clicking, no noised when turning the key to start the car. We tried jumping the car with 2 different jump boxes and 1 set of cables. None of those worked. I then had the car towed to dealership service center. They thought it was the alternator, changed it, and I picked the car up from the service center, again 5 minutes into driving the light came on and my car died while driving maybe 10 minutes later on the the thruway. Again, not able to jump the battery so it was towed back to the service center. They thought it might be a faulty alternator, and changed it out. The battery light still came on, and discovered it was the power train control module (tipm) that was failing, and burning through the alternators.
Over 2 weeks ago, I was coming home with my 2 year old, and as we came off the highway, the battery light came on, then a bunch of other random lights on the dash popped on and beeped at me. I heard the car die right as I coasted into a gas station. Tried to jump with 3 different cables and it wouldn't jump. Next day, replaced the battery and it started up fine. Drove to work (about 5 miles) and the battery light came on again as I came across a hill. More dash lights came on and it died again. Had a mechanic replace the alternator, and then we had to get a 2nd new battery because I killed the first one. Later that day I drove it around, and after about 5-10 minutes of driving, as I was coming up a hill, the battery light came on. Turned around and came home. Next day I drove about 10 minutes across town and back and the light came on again, but it made it. I thought maybe the battery was just trying to get charged up, so I drove on the highway for about an hour and it was fine. When I came off the highway, all the dash lights started coming on and dinging at me. . . And then it died again in a parking lot. Would jump at first but rpm meter would jump up and down and then die. Eventually it wouldn't jump at all. Replaced the alternator again. Jumped the vehicle, let it sit running for about 10 minutes. Revved the engine and it died. Won't start. Won't even click. Called Jeep and they thought it was a bad pcm. Mechanic rented a special tool to test it. The pcm is fine, but the tipm module is bad. Now all my other weird issues are making sense: radio dials sometimes don't work, sometimes it stalls in the cold at randomly. And the air flap actuators stopped working, meaning that no air/heat blows out the top vents. And then it dying on me randomly, with no other warnings that things were going wrong.
