2012 Jeep Liberty occupant restraint controller 2 module has an internal failure and needs to be replaced to restore air bag functionality air bags will not deploy until fixed every other year Jeep had a recall for this except 2012 the air bag light is on in the dashboard at all times there was a recall to reprogram the tipm module but not to replace the orc module.

My airbag light came on and will not go out. The dealer checked it and said I need a new occupant restraint module. It is my understanding that this is a common complaint for these cars. Is there a recall that covers this problem?.

For the past few months I have had electric issues with my car; I. E power doors lock/unlock doesn't work at all, back windshield wiper doesn't work, windows will not roll up, and dimming/flickering of interior/exterior lights which are all due to a faulty tipm. Which I have been informed is a very expensive fix. As of today as I was driving with cruise control on my car had a mind of it's own and accelerated to a higher speed revving the car up to 4000 rpms on a flat straight road. I tried to turn off and cancel cruise control on the steering wheel with which did nothing. I then pressed the break several times and again nothing. After having a complete panic attack and trying everything I could to turn cruise off it eventual went off on it's own. I have been made aware but other individuals having similar electric problems all caused by a faulty tipm. This is a very dangerous issue and there needs to be a recall. Is it going to take someone dying for Chrysler to care?.

Gate latch says it's open and interior lights won't go off. It will go away then after rain will come back on. Ongoing issue.

The airbag warning light appeared on the dash and remained lit while driving. The vehicle was taken to a Chrysler Jeep Dodge dealer where the n38 recall to repair the active head restraints was completed. After which the airbag warning light remained lit. After diagnosing the problem, it was determined that the occupant restraint control module needed to be replaced. The vehicle is out of warranty and there is no current recall on the orc module however, this is a safety issue which should be covered by the manufacturer. Fca USA llc was contacted regarding the issue and reported that unless the vehicle was under a third party service contract, Chrysler could provide no coverage on this safety matter. In addition to the two most recent safety issues (the n38 recall and the orc module), this vehicle also had an additional safety problem in March 2014. While driving on the highway, the vehicle completely shut off. After towing the vehicle to a Chrysler Jeep dealer it was determined that the pcm (the cars computer) had gone bad and needed to be replaced. Although the car was under warranty at the time, this was still an additional safety issue. This car was purchased new from a certified Chrysler Jeep dealer and has had no major accidents or water damage and has been well kept with regular scheduled maintenance.

Interior lights in dash flashed on and off, radio went off and came back on. Upon stopping for traffic light engine stalled, put car in park restarted car. This happened twice today(8-18-2016). Interior lights flashing on and off has happened 5 or 6 times in the last 3 or 4 days, stalling has only happened today.

"takata recall" this vehicle is a saftey hazzard unsafe due to abs notification system and causing brakes to drag and lock up. I purchased this vehicle at a so called 5 star Chrysler Jeep dealership and it was put on the lot with bad breaks that where metal to metal and a bad electrical system. I had to purchase new breaks which are being damaged due to abs malfunction causing the hit an miss causing the breaks to over work against the rotar drag and lock up. I was coming home on hwy and had to apply my breaks the break light came on and my breaks locked and I swerve off road to keep from rear ending another vehicle and shut off engine. This is a safety issue vehicle is unsafe and should not have been sold without breaks and electrical system being checked out.

The contact owns a 2012 Jeep Liberty. The contact received a notice for NHTSA campaign number: 13v282000 (air bags and electrical system). An appointment was scheduled and the dealer stated that the recall repair was completed; however, the contact felt otherwise. The contact had not experienced a failure until the vehicle was taken to the dealer for the recall repair. The air bag warning light illuminated shortly after the dealer's repair. One dealer indicated that the dtc flashed and the module was not replaced. A second dealer indicated that the air bag module was replaced. One of the dealers contacted the manufacturer to order the part and the contact was still awaiting the repair solution. The manufacturer was notified. The VIN and failure mileage were not available.

Right after it hit 100000 thousand miles all of my 4 wheel drive and anti skid lights all came on and will not go off very upsetting do they rig the new cars with faulty equipment that breaks or something happens right after the warranty run out! the lights stay on! I hope someone can help determine what's wrong or have a recall so I can get it fixed.

As I was driving all the lights on the dashboard start to flash, the vehicle stalls looses power radio turns off, I waited a few seconds change the gear to park turned off the ignition turned the car on and it drives ok. It has happened a few times as I am driving in the hwy very dangerous.

Cluster light came on prior to having the recall for NHTSA campaign number: 13v282000 completed. I took in the Jeep to have the recall completed, but it did not solve the issue. I was informed that the occupant restraint module was defective, and not covered on the 2012 Jeep Liberty recall, only the 2011. The estimated price to replace the module is $580. 00. I have seen multiple other reports from 2012 Jeep Liberty owners who are experiencing the same issue. I believe the recall should be expanded to include the 2012 model for module replacement, and not just reflash.

Starting two years ago, after a rain, when parked, upon locking my car either manually or with the key fob, the alarm goes off, interior lights illuminate and the dash states the gate is ajar. Repeatedly open and close the gate with no remedy. Have to leave car unlocked and usually the interior lights go off after a few hours. Related is the gate occasionally fails to unlock as well as unable to open the rear gate window. And the rear wiper continues to stay on after being turned off. All appear to be related to moisture somehow affecting the lift gate electrical system. Have taken to dealership three times, first two under warranty and dealer advised unable to find problem. Third time after warranty expired, advised they would need to replace seal at cost of $600. Declined repair.

Tamara recall locks stop working on remote key and inside on door panel 1 day later the window washer in the front stopped working. Took it to the dealer they informed me it is the tipm which will cost 1200. 00 in doing more research there is a class action lawsuit for my vehicle on this part and Chrysler has not recalled it. It is very hazardous to drive with no windshield washer especially after it has snowed out.

I locked my vehicle and the alarm started going off. Went out to see what the problem was and it shows gate on the dashboard. I checked the gate lift and it was secure. I locked it again. A few hours later the alarm went off again. I couldn't lock it anymore without the alarm going off. While driving I cannot have the dash lit up because all of the inside lights will be on as well. After reading another complaint I assume that it is probably the same issue he had and it is the latch. I just purchased this vehicle the 17th of September and my 90 day warrenty has expired as of 1 week ago so I am going to have to pay to have this repaired.

Electric start has not been connecting. This morning I went to drive the car. Cannot drive accelerator is stuck. Cannot drive vehicle.

I bought this car in October 2015, with only 27,680 miles on it and I'm already experiencing issues with it. Last week the airbag light came on out of no where. When I took the car yesterday to get the recall fixed, the tech. Told me that the light stayed on and that it had nothing to do with a recall so it would not be covered. He also said that this was a module (not sure what that is) but if I wanted to fix it I would have to pay a deductible because it is not covered under warranty. My second issue is the driver's side window control buttons do not work properly, I literally have to pull really hard to get the window up. Now I know that from reading other complaints, this is a common issue in this car, I just don't want to experience a fire in the panel or any other malfunction. Is there something that can be done, I feel that I shouldn't have to pay out of pocket for manufacture issue that are not wear and tear.

The "gate" light in my Jeep Liberty came on while driving and would not go off, even though everything was securely shut. As a result, I was unable to lock my vehicle because the alarm would sound. The interior lights also stayed on during this time, which was a hazard when driving at night as it directly affected my ability to see outside my car. I have done some research on this issue and do see that it appears to be a common problem which may be caused by faulty rubber trim around the rear hatch window. The rubber allows water to get in to the latch and eventually ruins it. I recently had the gate latch assembly replaced, which did resolve the issue,.

At around 40k miles the airbag light in the dash came on and would not turn off. When we took the car to get it inspected it failed inspection due to the airbag light and the mechanic told us we would have to take the car to the Jeep dealer to have them diagnose and fix the issue. We took the car to the dealer and they said the issue was the orc module and it would have to be replaced and it would cost $650. This part was recalled on the 2011 Jeep Liberty and I have read a lot of complaints online about this part on the 2012 Liberty. We have no choice in replacing this part or our car will not pass inspection and our only option is to take it to a Jeep dealer to replace.

We bought the 2012 Jeep Liberty last year and the airbag light came on randomly last week when I started it and hasn't turned off. I called the dealership and they said it would be $125. 00 to diagnose the problem then more money to fix it. After researching online and not having the money to fix this issue I am afraid that the airbags might deploy while I am driving.

Driver's side lock flutters up and down rapidly every time the car locks even when the engine is running. Makes a loud and startling noise that is dangerous when driving. Sometimes the door gets stuck from the inside because of the lock issue and the driver cannot exit the vehicle from that side.

Vehicle was parked and turned off. Car alarm sounded due to loud vibration noise nearby. When went out to car to reset, the dash light indicated rear gate lift open.

Kept getting warning that gate lift was open which it was not. Interior dome light kept coming on. Started car and shut it off after several minutes. . Gate lift indicator still showing up. Finally gave up and ignored it after having opened and shut gate and separate window latches several times. The light finally went out after several hours. . . Neither the gate or the window were ever found to not have been secure.
