general problems of the 2012 Jeep Liberty

The vehicle gears slipped into neutral but back to drive without assistance on my part. Once at a stop sign when I resumed driving. Once turning a corner. Once getting ready to back up. / I took it to have the transmission fluid level checked and it checked out ok. There have been no transmission recalls reported on the 2012 Jeep Liberty. The pan and filter had had a leak and was replaced a couple of weeks before this slippage happened.

My Jeep has been back to dealer for over 23 services from recalls, defective parts, altered parts, engine, transmission, rear end, braking and many more issues to include sharp items pushes thru seats harming people.

Transmission burnt out after only 128,000 miles. Got code 0869 and took to two auto shop and both saw d transmission needed replaced.

My heater takes 45-60 mins to heat up my car, and it doesn’t blow full force when it’s on the highest setting. On cold days I literally have to start my car up 45 before I need to leave just to have a slight warmth inside. Once I’m moving, it barely blows any heat through the vents. The highest setting feels like it’s on the lowest setting.

I was hit on my passenger front, while attempting to cross into a parking lot, so hard until my tire rod bent at a angle. My passenger airbag didn't deploy. None of my airbags deployed. There was no blind spot warning. Even after the impact, there was no alarm or notification of the damage, as the firemen were attempting to drive my car out of the road.

I experienced rapid unintended acceleration when starting up slowly from a complete stop, resultimg in the vehicle leaping a curb and striking a stop sign, scraping the side of the vehicle.

On 3 /2/2019 went to back out of my driveway put in reverse didn't move I assumed it was the linkage. So I had towed to transmission shop near my house. Got a call today saying the linkage cabel was routed the wrong way in such away that he cant explain why that would be. I've never had major work done to beside your normal oil changes.

Vehicle is attractive and functional. Air bags probably saved the wife's life in a t bone accident. The air conditioner and heater work great. There is too much plastic. . . Everywhere! seats are uncomfortable on long trips. Water pump locked up with just over 50k miles. Transmission is self destructing at 62k miles this month. It seems the transmission has no dip stick for the owner to check the fluid. If it did the transmission problem could have been noticed sooner. Now we must pay for a transmission and labor because it is out of warranty, $4k! the vehicle gets regular use in county, city and highway trips. On nice paved texas roads. It is well maintained and only driven by two adults, age 72. I believe there is a quality issue with the drivetrain parts. We have owned other Jeeps. They had the old reliable inline 6cyl engine and three speed transmission. Very reliable.

Took back to dealership showed them the code and video of what my Jeep is doing. They said there was nothing they can do unless it happens when they have it. It's been to the dealership 5 times. Does anyone have any idea what my cause this problem?.

I placed this vehicle's automatic transmission shifter, with the engine running into the park position on 05/20/17 at approx. 12:15 am. I sat in the vehicle for a few minutes. I exited drivers side, closed that door after placing patrol items onto the front seat. I moved to passenger front door, opened it and and retrieved a patrol bag and items from that seat. After closing passenger door and walking away from vehicle the shifter "moved" down into reverse. Was it in "false park"? then the Jeep to back up off concrete parking pad and into a shallow lagoon on fripp island, st. Helena, SC. The fripp island property owners association auto insurance company, travelers, totalled out the vehicle stating it was no longer safe to drive?.

2012 Jeep Liberty, 55,000 miles. I stopped at a red light. When the light turned green I hit the gas to move forward and the truck went nowhere for about 5 seconds, when the transmission finally engaged. The truck jerked and I finally went forward. This truck has been checked with an independent mechanic then brought to the dealership as it is still under extended warranty. Very disappointing, as I love this truck. I guess I will be hesitant to buy another Jeep.

I had traveled about 500 miles and all of the lights concerning the 4 wd lit up on the dash and the rpm's jumped up over 3000 rpm, I was towing a trailer and using the towing mode as it says to in the manual, there were no Chrysler dealers open for doing service, I pulled over and shut off the trailer towing and went a ways further and the lights were still on so I pulled the fuse and continued along the lights slowly one by one shut off. I stopped in bloomington, illinois at the Chrysler dealer the next day and they could not give a god answer for what had happened. I continued on to florida to visit with my sons and the situation got worse it started acting like the engine was miss firing on a cylinder or two, Chrysler dealer in FL was too busy to check it out and wanted me to pay up front even though the power train is still under warranty til 100,000 miles. I left FL returning to IL and had it checked by a friend who had a garage and his testing showed a bad modulator in the transmission, I took it back to the Chrysler dealer and they put it on their computer and dis some adjusting and told me to take it easy the transmission is very weak and needs repair but Chrysler will not do anything unless the transmission quits completely. I left IL and returned to south dakota and the transmission is no better but actually getting worse, I went to hot springs sd yesterday which is about a 60 mile one way trip, visited with friends for 4 hours and returned home and before I got back home all the lights for the 4 wd were on , I think Chrysler needs to take care of this problem before I am left stranded alongside a road someplace or have a wreck from the transmission gong out while driving. This is the worse Chrysler that I have ever owned and will be the last one if the problem is not corrected and soon.
