Our 2008 Jeep Liberty was parked in the driveway.

All of this was happening with no key in the ignition and the vehicle was locked. When we tried to put the key in the ignition, the vehicle would not stop making the noises or shut off.

33 Electronic Stability Control problem of the 2007 Jeep Liberty

Failure Date: 04/02/2017

Engine light stays on all the time. Also abs, traction, eps lights flash on intermittently following a warning sound. This panel issue can occur upon starting the vehicle or while driving on both interstate and on city roads. Have brought it to my mechanic three times now. My mechanic has plugged the unit into the diagnostic sysrem to check error codes and it registered five random error codes simultaneously which he felt were unrelated to the iissue, nor was it possible to have those five related codes all at once. He suspected that it was a panel malfunction and wondered if a recall had been issued that he was unaware of. But he went through the process of checking connection and cleaning connections anyway. He suggested to bring it back to a Jeep manufacturer for further evaluation if it recurred again, which it did! from the complaints listed, it sounds like Jeep does know either but they continue to charge consumers for repairs that have not solved the problem. Obviously driving the vehicle is not safe per customers complaints either. Perhaps someone is waiting for a tragedy before any type of recall is considered which is sad.

Failure Date: 03/22/2017

On two occasions, while traveling on high speed highways, my Jeep suddenly lost power. When that happened, I lost power steering and had to muscle the car to the side of the road. I removed the keep from the ignition. When I tried again to start it, although difficult, it started. My mechanic ran an electrical test, and on the repair order he wrote: "research symptoms. Find high failure rate of tipm module. Recommend returning to dealer" because the apparent frequency across the country may lead to "possible warranty extension or open campaign".

35 Electronic Stability Control problem of the 2006 Jeep Liberty

Failure Date: 03/15/2017

While driving my 2006 Jeep Liberty, for no apparent reason, the esp, abs, and brake lights all sarted flashing at once. Since then, my vehicle would constantly lose power and stall out when attempting to accelerate. Diagnostic check indicated a defective speed sensor. It was replaced, and the issue corrected itself somewhat for a couple of months. However. . . The same exact issue returned. It progressively became so bad I had to remove the abs fuses in order to even drive the vehicle, thus creating an equally dangrous situation. My Jeep is out of warranty, of course, and I've read tons of complaints of the exact same problem with this vehicle, so I am basically (dangerously) waiting for a recall to occur.
