Brakes Failed Problems of Jeep Liberty

Brakes failed 3 different times with the peddle going to the floor, almost causing an accident.

Both times I was slowing down for a red light and almost rear ended another car. I felt the brakes failed and the car seemed to accelerate and or the gas pedal stuck. I called Jeep and they said there was no recall/issues and I saw where my year/model was reported to have a recall for a brake issue.

The parking brake failed to engage on my 2008 Jeep Liberty automatic transmission. While the parking brake was fully engaged with the Jeep in neutral the Jeep rolled backward and struck the wall causing minor right front fender damage. Fortunately the Jeep hit the wall stopping it from rolling down the driveway into traffic or running over pedestrians. Note; there is a recall on the 2008 Jeep Liberty, Chrysler recall #h28 with manual transmission but not on the automatic which uses the exact same parking brake system. Why isn't there a recall for this vehicle? emergency/parking brake system should be there when you need it and if the hydraulic braking system should fail. This is a vehicle safety alert that must be addressed.

The rear brakes and the emergency brake keep failing. We have had to replace rear brakes 6-7 times since we have owned the vehicle. The emergency brake has been replaced once and now needs it again in less than 7 months. We don't even use the emergency brake so why does it keep wearing out? we have also had to replace rotors and are ready to do so again. Is this faulty parts on the Jeep or what? we have never had to replace an emergency brake on any other vehicle we have owned before. Now it seems like this is going to be an every 6 month expense we can't afford.

I was driving about 40 mph. There was a red light and some preceding cars were stopped and others were slowing down. The brakes failed to respond even after stomping on it a of couple times. The brakes only depressed down a little bit but not fully (seemed like depressing brake pedal when ignition is turned off). The vehicle slowed down to about 30 mph, but did not come to a complete stop and crashed into the rear end of vehicle in front. Airbag deploded and caused minor cuts and bruises to the face.

Went for my normal oil change and rotate tires at the dealer. The service writer came out to inform me I need rear barkes as they have worn down and the rotor needs to be turned as it is out of round. I told them how could the rear be out in 12600 miles and the front barkes are good. If they are that worn why is there no warning to let me know as it is unsafe and I could have brake failure. They told me many Chrysler vans as well as some 2009 and 2010 have a defect in the brakes that cause them to fail way sooner then they should. I paid almost $400 for the back brakes to be done and called Chrysler corp and made a case. They agreeded that it should not have failed at that low mileage and others have done also. I am going to get a total refund for what I spend after many calls to get it paid by them as I feel it is a unsafe condition that many other products they make have the same problems and why I should paid for a defect in their brake systems. I asked in the next 12000 miles if they wear out again will they repir the problem again and she said no. It is not fair or safe to have a Jeep that will keep having the rear brakes wear out way before time and a unsafe condition too. I called a few barke rotor mfg. Companies and they told me also they have a major defect in their brake systems as the weight of them as certain Jeeps and vans is way too much for the brak system they have on the rears and fronts. I also see class action law suits against them on this brakes wear out problems on 2009 and 2010 vans that are in a Dodge journey bulletin wb-d-11-07 and it is the same as my defect but they said it does not cover the Jeep Liberty but will refund my money once for the cost I paid. I am now afraid my brakes will fail and cause a accident. They don`t seem to care to go any further other then pay me back my money for the failed barkes in the rear one time only. . . .

We own a Jeep Liberty 2010 that is covered under a brake recall NHTSA campaign id number: 10v009000 . We called the dealership and the company and were told they were not honoring this recall we are very concerned since it says the brakes may suddenly fail and don't understand why the company is not doing this recall as announced.

2005 Jeep Liberty ltd , was having brake problems. It was shimmying etc, when I put on brakes and at times the pedal went to the floor. I was involved in an accident when my Jeep would not stop when I put on brakes. I rearended someone. I had a mechanic check this out before accident and could not find anything wrong. I have owned 3 Jeeps in my life time and never had problems. I have a $3000 repair to my car because of brake failure, plus the airbags did not come out. I expect someone to contact me immediately.

: the contact stated the brakes failed five times at low speeds. There was an accident causing minor damage to another vehicle. The dealer could not duplicate the problem. Also, the check engine light illuminated. The dealer replaced the heater control head however that did not fix the problem. The fuel pump also runs constantly and the manufacturer has been alerted.

The contact owns a 2002 Jeep Liberty. On April 21, 2006, while driving uphill at 5 mph, the vehicle surged and rear ended the preceding vehicle. The contact was charged with failure to yield. The mechanic stated that the brakes and the brake rotors failed. Prior to the crash, she received a recall notice for NHTSA campaign id number 06v288000 (suspension:front:control arm: lower ball joint) in October of 2006. She made four attempts to have the recall repair performed; however, each time she was informed that the part was unavailable and the dealer would call her when it arrived. The contact never received a call and gave up. A couple of months after the crash, she received a second recall notice. The contact believes that the crash occurred because the repair was not made earlier. The vehicle sustained damages to the bumper, fog lights, front bumper cover, grill, front lamp, head lamp, passenger side head lamp assembly, hood panel, hood assembly, front passenger side wiring harness, passenger side outside fender, passenger side fender bracket, front passenger side door glass running channel, hazardous waste disposal, paint job, and fender brackets. The cost to repair the damages would be $3,759. The current mileage was 89,682 and failure mileage was 61,260. Updated 01/07/08. Updated 12/31/07.

Snow on ground , brakes failed to stop hit the garage , damaged the vehicle and garage. All 4 wheels did not attempt to stop. Like they were frozen. This is an update from Jan 22,2005. Had vehicle in dealership, they repaired the damage from the accident. Couldn't find anything wrong with the brakes. The weather was warmer when they checked it than when the problem occurred. Had problem again on Feb. 20th, this time the front brakes lock up on snow, but the rear do not stop. They keep turning as no brakes are applied. Had mechanic from where I work look at what the vehicle was doing, he suggested for me to take it back to the dealer, that there is definitely a problem. Took it to the dealer, they looked at it again, said there is no problem, that Jeep designed it that way. The rear brakes are not supposed to lock up in any condition, even in a panic stop on ice. (this vehicle does not have antilock brakes) that the brake system will allow the front brakes to lock up, but the rear not. That the rear brakes (disc) are considerable smaller than the front so they won't have the power to stop the vehicle. It's the way Jeep designed it, to supposedly compensate for not having antilock brakes. This makes the vehicle very difficult to stop on snow and ice. When trying to stop at 25 mph I slid more than 50ft right through an intersection. It was a good thing the other vehicle did stop. This vehicle is supposed to be an all weather vehicle, but the way that this one stops on snow, it is unsafe to drive in winter.

At 54,000 miles the vehicle suffered a complete failure of the passenger side rear brake adjuster, causing additional damage to the brake hardware for that wheel including the total loss of the emergency shoe. Because of the extent of the damage and, the unusual amount of corrosion found by the dealer, they insist on replacing much of the rear brake hardware on both sides at a personal expence of around $800 (brakes are only warranted for 1 year or 12,000 miles by Jeep). About 10,000 miles and 6 months prior to this incident, new emergency shoes had been installed and worked well for 4 months when banging noises, dragging, lurching and, pulling began with increasing frequency up to the time I took it back to the dealer for the second time on the date I list here; the dealer had found nothing the prior time I complained. There appears to be an issue with critical brake parts corroding extensively and failing in a short period of time under what are considered normal driving conditions for the ne part of the country. There may also be an issue with the tolerance of replacement brake parts that are supposed to be factory authorized components. At any rate, I am not the first to complain about brake hardware problems associated with the 2003 Jeep Liberty. I have read references to corrosion related brake failures here and at other sites. Given the way the vehicle behaved intermittently and the failure of the dealer to find it early, a potentially dangerous and needlessly expensive situation exists in at least the early production 2003 Libertys (I bought one of the first available ones that year and noticed a rash of complaints on this subject beginning last summer).

Brakes failed on 2003 Jeep Liberty and car ran into home.

While driving on damp roads the brakes failed to stop the vehicle which resulted in extended stopping distance. This problem has almost caused several rear end collisions.
