My boyfriend was looking at my Jeep back in may/June of 2018 to try to see if he could fix the ac. He disconnected the battery so that he could work behind the dash without risk of getting shocked for any reason, as well as the wiring to the 4 wheel drive switch so it would be out of the way while he worked behind the dash. When he went to reconnect the battery and the wiring for the 4 wheel drive, the vehicle got stuck in 4 wheel drive. We tried for what seemed like hours to get it to pop back to 2 wheel drive but nothing worked. We slowly drove it the few miles to bluebonnet Jeep in new braunfels, TX to have them look at it and fix the ac too while they had it. They had my Jeep for 2 weeks and nothing got done to remedy either issue until we had to physically go in and see what was going on. When we got there they hadn't worked on the Jeep hardly at all. They never did a diagnostic to see what the problem was with the 4 wheel drive and then tried to replace my transmission. We had to load the Jeep up on a trailer and haul it to another shop. That shop took apart my entire Jeep and followed all of the wires back to see what was wrong. That's when they found that components were missing from my Jeep to make it an actual 4 wheel drive. They made it so I can drive it but trying to fix the 4 wheel completely will be costly. I have expressed my concerns to Chrysler Jeep and basically they are telling me that I am going to have to pay more money for something that bluebonnet Jeep should have done in the first place before they will consider any type of action. The shop that looked at it and did the diagnostic has detailed notes and diagrams but that apparently is not sufficient. I don't believe that I should have to fork out the money to have the diagnostic done when Jeep is at fault for it not being done in the first place.

On occasion the right side of the speedometer will not light up. Contacted Chrysler about this issue for assistance but said that it was too old (the Jeep didn't leave the dealership lot till 2013 so 4 year old) took it in and they said the dash is failing. They also stated that the light are integrated in to the bored. The Jeep only has 40,000 miles on the odometer and should not be failing so early. This happens while moving or sitting. This is a safety issue due to not being able to see the speed and they came out and said the the dash is failing and needs to be replaced. I will add that a new cluster just for the part is $400.
Vehicle is experiencing a tipms failure causing the door locks to not function along with sporadic events where all the gauges will go dead, all the warning lights will turn on, radio won't shut off, wipers turn on even when they are set to the off position. All of this occurs while driving the vehicle. Turning off the vehicle fixes everything except the door locks for a random period of time.

On 6/5/2015, while on the freeway, the dashboard went crazy. Engine and airbag lights flashed, fuel, temperature, and speed gauges went dead (zero), air conditioning stopped. I drove straight to the elk grove dealership's service department. They were unable to find what was wrong. Unable to duplicate the problem and the computer memory did not showed them anything. They performed the 120k service instead. On 6/18/2015, while driving at 15mph it happened again. This time, I pulled to the side of the road and took a video of the dashboard, and again drove to the elk grove dealership. As of today, they have been unable to diagnose/find what is wrong. They know is a control module, but do not know which one. Since other Jeep models experiencing similar problems have been subject to recall, I want to know why not for the 2005 model. I fear for my safety and the safety of drivers around me should this control module kills the engine while I am on the freeway. I have been without transportation while the car is held hostage for observation. This module has a factory or design defect that needs to be corrected by Jeep!.

At startup, first noticed windshield wipers were on and would not shut off. All dash lights, gauges, etc were not operating. Vehicle could not be taken out of park position. (vehicle was used the night prior in a light rain) turned vehicle on and off several times to no avail. At dealership was told the cluster was bad. . But there are so many having this problem that the part is backlogged by 4 months or more. Computer was reflashed, so everything is working except the odometer. Cannot pass inspection without getting a new cluster since that is the only means to show the odometer. . Yet its backlogged 4 months. How is this possible if its a vital truck part?.
While my dealer was test driving my Jeep Liberty the dash went dead. This had not happened before. I did have a multi-function arm replaced last year because the dashboard lights were flickering and no problems since then. The truck has also pulled to the right since I bought it. The dealer performed multiple alignments at that time and it is still not fixed.
