3 Brake Light On problem of the 2012 Jeep Liberty

Failure Date: 06/17/2014

I feel it important to make others aware of what was just found to be wrong with my 2012 Jeep Liberty. The red brake light indicator came on and stayed on, the emergency brake was not on at the time. Took the car to our trusted local mechanic and once the car was place up on the rack and tires removed you could see the problem. The front brake line is situated in such a way that it hits against the struts every time the wheel is turned. Creating a very dangerous situation, the brake line could be severed at anytime causing immediate brake failure. The car was purchased as a certified used vehicle with the understanding that it had completed the point check and that we were placing our new driver in a safe vehicle. Very disappointing to find out otherwise. Jeep/Chrysler is being very unresponsive to this major safety issue. Not only is this a safety issue but it could have resulted in the loss of lives. Very angry!.

Speedometer, cruise control, brake warning lamp and abs light on, mileage counter not working, check engine light on as well, car dies or stall when slowing down even on hwy or when turning. We have replaced almost everything we can think of. Look online and hundred if not thousands of owners have exact same problems and no solution to problem. How are you supposed to have vehicle inspected if the emergency brake lights wont go off? we have replaced front and back brakes, master cylinder, wheel cylinders, speed sensors front driver and passenger and rear one. Fuel pump fuel filter have now been replaced. We have replaced more but I know we have spent well over 2 grand and nothing please help we are not the only ones having this issue.

6 Brake Light On problem of the 2010 Jeep Liberty

Failure Date: 09/29/2011

It was light to medium rain while stopped at a red light where traffic took off and had to stop soon after. As soon as I hit my brakes the abs kicked in increasing the stopping distance of my Jeep causing me to rear end another vehicle. At the same time the abs brake light, traction control brake light and stability control lights all came on at the same time and remained lit. I called the dealership the next day and was told this wasn't a serious problem and to bring it on Monday (I called Friday morning). The first time the dealer corrected the problem by replacing the brake switch and the tail light lamp switch. As I was leaving the dealership, less than a mile away, all of the lights came back on. They corrected it again, so I picked it up and it happened again two days later. In the mean time whenever it is a medium rain or above or it has been raining for an extended period of time the abs brakes prematurely activate. The Jeep was inspected by Chrysler engineers who state it does not have any problems, and will not fix the damage to the vehicle.

10 Brake Light On problem of the 2004 Jeep Liberty

Failure Date: 01/22/2005

Lots of snow on ground, freezing weather. Pulled vehicle out of driveway to clear snow from drive. Parked the vehicle on the edge of the road at the end of my driveway. After I had cleared a spot for the Jeep Liberty, my wife moved it back in the drive. She didn't stop until the vehicle collided with the garage. I saw the brake lights on, but it didn't stop. I questioned her to what happened, she said the brakes didn't work. I tested it myself by backing away from the garage and found out that she was correct. The brakes didn't work. It had a firm pedal, but the brakes did not apply. Like almost if they were frozen. Being a mechanic for almost 40 years, I never experienced anything like it. I talked to the salesperson whom I purchased it from, he informed me that he no longer works for the dealer and just park it in a warm garage that would take care of it. I talked to the service department of the dealer and they said that they never heard of it and for me to drive it to them to check it out. If it don't stop in a 30 foot driveway, I certainly wont drive it down a busy road to the dealer. They said that I have to bring it in. What a crock. Its unsafe. I am as of now trying to contact the sales manager of the dealership to see if he will give me some help. My wife refuses to ride in this vehicle until we are certain that the brake problem will be taken care of properly. The vehicle has only 3,350 miles on it and is only 3 1/2 months old. There was no ice on the driveway I had cleared the snow off onto the bare cement. So that was not an issue.
