Engine Belts And Pulleys Problems of Jeep Liberty

My engine and the entire electrical stop while driving, every system stopped while driving in the middle of the road. This vehicle has had many issues from defective drivers seats, oil leaks, windows not working, seat belt malfunctions, recalls, head rest issues, leaks from who know where the dealer had it time and time again misdiagnosed it several times, it was in the Jeep dealer and did not even make it out of the parking lot went it stopped again. All warning lights went on waring for several problems it is now stuck in my home. This Jeep is as fca knows a lemon these problems go back years even when I bought it , it has never ever worked or operated properly or safely. Needs to be all recalled and refund all my monies.

Our 2008 Jeep Liberty was parked in the driveway. All of the sudden the horn began honking on it's own, the vehicle started, the alternator made the belt burn, and the windshield wipers would not shut off. 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.

Took to mr. Tire auto service center for a full curtesy inspepection and they found out its eletrical issue . I have a video of me sitting in my work parking lot with the lights on dash . I dont know what the heater has to do with the lights on dash or my brake lights coming on and radio not working and why the motor loses power drive it im scard of driving it because of a fire braking out but I have no choice it the only vechicle I have to drive back and forth to work. I had this vehicle for less then three years.

Tl- the contact owns a 2012 Jeep Liberty. The contact stated that while driving about 60 mph, the vehicle slowed down and lost power. The brake light, the air bag and seat belts lights, the heater core and some other lights illuminated. The contact also stated that the radio di not work. The vehicle was taken to the ferrario auto team of sayre dealer (570-888-2367, located at 102 spring st, sayre, PA 18840) where the technician recommended a diagnostic test. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the diagnostic test should be covered. However, the dealer stated no. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 139,000. Fe.

This vehicle was purchased new and has less than 140,000 miles. #1-it has corrosion on the outer body panels that is starting to go into the frame. The corrosion has caused numerous cuts, scrapes and damaged clothing as you get in and out of the vehicle. #2- I started smelling antifreeze but you couldn't see any leaks unless it was parked downhill so I took it to the shop for diagnosis. After several test they found it to be the head gasket. #3- I also have issues with the drivers side seat belt staying latched. You can be driving along and it will just release and it takes awhile to get it to latch back. #4-it wouldn't let me select the option to talk about the window regulators that just all of a sudden decide to work by themselves. I've had several people discuss these issues with me and I'd not seen any issues until lately, regardless of how significant anyone thinks these issues are I've worked in the auto industry long enough to know that the maker should stand behind their product regardless of the significance or age of vehicle.

Vehicle will loose power while at hwy speed. As if slamming on brakes dash lights light up as your seatbelt locks and you slam forward. Headlights will turn off while inside dash lights remain on. Must use brights to drive or pull over. Windows, seats move themselves. While vehicle is off and unattended. Sometimes while pulling in a parking spot car lunges forward. Sometimes while sitting at a red light it just powers off and must be restarted. Evidence of a leak somewhere can not be located. The leak has stained a little on the inside roof.

Pulley rubber separated between the harmonic balancer and serpentine pulley leaving me with no steering fortunately we were within half a mile of home.

The car had been acting funny , going fast then making a noise and going ok again. I am not a fast driver as in November my husband of 32 years , passed after being in a hit and run , from people with no insurance , my life is pretty much hell . I was starting to smell something funny like burning and I thought I maybe a tire or strut. I was at a signal second car in and loots of traffic , including school buses. There was a gas station about 30-40 feet from me , but the first car went in to get gas , so on second thought going by the pumps was not a good idea , so I put on signal and tried to pulled over . Car were speeding past me and the car began to accelerate and ll to the right,I turned left or pulled to the left , crashed into a pole hard . Seat belt went flying off , air bags on side did not go off , but front ones did . I broke my leg and bruises, plus a black eye. Since the week before I lost my job , I am doomed , have to try to find a job , because I can:t my car get unemployment. I loved my car first and only car I have ever had. Is there anything you could do to help as I have had many recalls and had them checked, but thois is just so strange I thought I had .

Wife was driving vehicle on rural road. No warning lights or buzzers but noticed engine temperature was increasing. She identified a parking lot a few miles up the road where she planned to pull into since the road did not offer a shoulder. Just before reaching the parking lot the engine stalled out and she smelled oil. With the loss of power she immediately lost control and almost collided with the oncoming traffic. She was able to correct her steering before an accident occurred and coasted into the parking lot. She contacted me and we walked through the incident and she opened the hood. She described the engine compartment completely covered in smoking oil. I also reviewed the engine when I went to retrieve the vehicle and noted that it had apparently seized because the belt was off. The dealership was contacted but remains elusive to any problems with the engine even though there is an increasing amount of complaints concerning these engines premature failure due to "engine sludge" available online. Thank you for your time in reviewing this potential safety issue.

August 08, bought my 02 Liberty. Took about 1. 5 years to drive it because of an accident - that's why I bought the Liberty. About 1 year later the idle air control valve went out, had to replace it. There's been other, minor things, like when accelerating, feels like someone bumped into me. Sometimes are worse than others. Often feel a "vibration. " within months of being 1 year of replacing the iav, began to get extremely bad gas mileage - about 187m to a tank. Not sure why. Replaced the spark plugs, did a lof, inspection, etc. . Almost exactly 1 year from replacing the iav, check engine light came on. Was on for 1-1. 5 days. I decided not use it until I could get it to the mechanic. Next morning, was going to the store & the light was off! but when I pulled into a parking space, it died. This sort of thing's happened before, db cluster being "faulty. " other things [vacuum seal leak, etc] never prompted the lights on. Had to replace the iav again & it ran fine. Recently, been getting that "kicking" feeling & like my car is running "rough". Today, I noticed the airbag light was stuck on. Checked the manual, it said to have the airbag system checked. I was nervous about driving - had an odd feeling the airbag would deploy - moved my seat back just in case. Since the accident, I get anxiety over these things. Luckily, no deployment. Got it home, turned it off, waited, turned it on, waited a few seconds and the light turned off this time. Went straight to my computer only to find these recalls and investigations - one being the steering - last week had a nerve-wracking experience, my car began to swerve turning left onto the freeway, it was raining, so, I slowly merged. Wasn't until it straightened out that it began to swerve, almost like losing control, didn't feel like a "slip. " but I just assumed it was. Also, the seat belts don't seem to stay click in at times.

Driving down interstate the oil light came on. Checked oil was full. We live about 5 miles away so got off interstate heard a faint noise under the hood we put it in neutral and turned key off and coasted into a parking lot. Checked oil and belts everything looked fine. Turned the key and nothing happened. No warnings what so ever. The oil pump went bad an seized the engine. This is my transportation now I have nothing to drive until I can afford $7,000 plus for a new engine. This was out of warranty by less then 90 days. Have almost 90,000 miles on it. I love my Liberty but will never buy another Jeep again. It has always been maintained and without warning the engine goes out.

I own a 2002 Jeep Liberty and within the last year I have replaced the serpentine belt, spark plugs, temp, brakes,rotors, all fluids have been change yearly, thecoils to spark plugs, etc. Alot of things have gone wrong. It has about 82,000 miles. It's overheating, shaking, my engine is burning all the coolant and oil as soon as it hits the engine I can hear it boiling under the hood now and it's not safe to drive anymore. I've had it towed to see what's going on,but I was told that my engine is shot and he has no explanation to why except that its burning all the fluids put in it everything else looks fine and is new thanks to me because I've been trying to figure out what is wrong with it and really to find out there is nothing I could do about it. So I called your Jeep dealerships and they say its not common for that to happen so is this a safety issue or is this engine defective? please help me I've done everything I could do.

1. Car stalled on interstate 95, towed to my mechanic 2. Mechanic discovered broken timing belt 3. Timing belt replaced.

Engine serpentine belt tensioner causing ratcheting noise and improper operation. This is the 5th tensioner.

I was driving down the freeway at 75 when I started hearing a loud grinding noise. I got off the freeway and made it home . As soon as I turned the last corner the steering locked to the left and made a huge grinding noise this time. I stopped in front of the house, and when I got out there was steering fluid everywhere! I pulled the belt off, and the pulley was extremely easy to move all around. I have found that many more people than just me have also had this problem and if it were to have happened on the freeway I could have easily crashed at 75! I called Chrysler and they told me "they won't do anything becuase its not a saftey problem, and I am the 3rd owner of the vehicle" how that has anything to do with it I dont know. I have to special order the part from Jeep because nobody carrys it. I will fix it myself once the part comes in and refuse to pay $400 for something they(Jeep) should replace for free. They will not recieve and business from me. They are extremly lucky no one was injured and there isnt a lawsuit against them.

The air condition (a/c) hose broke and squirted oil on the serpentine belt, causing it to deteriorate and break. The hose appeared to be cut, which leads me to believe that a strand of the belt had broken and, by constantly whipping the hose, which is much too close to the belt, eventually wore through the hose. I lost both power steering and power brakes in the middle of the freeway at 60mph.

Upon making a slight lane correction at approx. 60 mph, my daughter's 2002 Jeep libety began swerving uncontrollably. She felt no resistance to the steering wheel as she tried to stop the swerving. At no time did she apply the brakes. Witnesses said it appeared she had a flat tire. Eventually, the vehicle entered the grass median and rolled 2. 5 or 3. 5 times coming to rest on the roof facing on-coming traffic. The complete rear end(tires and differential) separated and ended up approx. 75 feet from the vehicle. The right front axle or cv joint was broken. Neither her passenger or her air bags deployed. The driver's seat belt was broken at the end of the motion of the rolling. Both occupants were bruised and cut. We believe the axle failed and caused this potentially fatal accident. This vehicle had approx. 3000 miles on it. At 1800 miles the engine had thrown a rod and the engine was replaced completely. The Jeep Liberty is structurally unsound and of poor design particularly in the area of the rear suspension. Daimler-chysler has lowered the suspension in obvious response to roll over incidents. . .
