Key will not turn. Ignition is lock. It was parked. Next day, will would not turn. Need a recall, this should not happen and is hazardous to women being stranded on highways. This should not have to be paid by consumers for a defect in a Chrysler product.

My key will not turn in the ignition of the 2003 Jeep Liberty. The steering column was not locked and I tried for about 20 minutes to jiggle/turn the wheel, jiggle the automatic transmission shifter, etc. The key was inserted fully because electrical came on to alert me that the key was in the ignition (when I opened the driver door the warning beeps came on to signify key still in ignition). The ignition simply would not turn. I had to have my car towed to a mechanic and have since learned from online research that this is a very common problem with Jeep Liberty's and many Chrysler products. The solutions seem to be patchwork workarounds that people have come up with independent of Chrysler's help.

Key would not turn on car. Opened up steering column to find small rod that pushes button on ignition was broken. Jeep dealership says cannot replace rod has to replace entire steering column.

Key stuck in ignition- shifter failure.

My 2002 Jeep Liberty limited's ignition will not turn with the key in place. First occurrence, I was able to jiggle the key and get it to finally turn to start, 2nd time it took me bout 10 mins of jiggling the key and it finally turned and started. 3rd time, same situation. Now the 4th time and it's sitting in our garage, will not turn to start.

Key is stuck in ignition which is unsafe to leave vehicle unattended at any time, my dealer has advised me that the problem is the gear shifter and since the vehicle is easily shifted into gear without a key it could have rolled away if placed in the neutral or drive gear.

Put the key in the ignition, but it can't turn, even while fiddling with the steering wheel. If I then tap on the key with something, then it might turn.

When I parked my 2006 Jeep Liberty and attempted to turn the key and pull it out of the ignition, the key would not come out. It would go no further than the lock position. It appears that the shifting cable that reads when the car is in park and enables one to remove the key had failed and was not reading that my car was actually in park. I had to press the cable down in order to remove my key. I did a google search for the problem and it appears to be a common problem for the 2004-2006 Jeep Liberty. Now my shifter does not stop between gears, it simply slides through them without having to press the button that would normally lock them in place. I can shift from reverse to park without pressing the break and without pushing the button. In order to pull my key out I have to take the cover off and press down on the cable. Now that I noticed it is a common problem with other Jeep Liberty's, I think a recall is in order.

At 3000 miles from new it became difficult to remove the key even though the vehicle was in park. Sometimes the driver had to restart the vehicle several times and move the gearshift into park multiple times before the key could be removed. After this occurred many times the vehicle was returned to the dealer for repair. Unknown parts were replaced and the problem was fixed. Now at 7000 miles from new the problem has reoccurred. From reading blogs on the web this is a longstanding problem that the manufacturer is unable or unwilling to correct permanently! the necessity to carry on with one's day means that the key will be left in the ignition with the car unattended with all the safety implications that implies; theft, children,etc.

I have an '03 Jeep Liberty and 2 years after we bought it, we started having trouble with the ignition cylinder. It started to freeze up and would not turn some times,until it got to the place it would not turn at all. So we took it to dade Jeep Chrysler in south miami,FL. . And so they replace the ignition cylinder and tunblers [supposedly]. And that was in '05 and here we are in '08, and we're having the same identical problem again. And their telling me I have to buy another ignition. The Jeep is just 5yrs. Old. I can remember when something like that would last the life of the vehicle.

While I was approaching an intersection (the speed limit was 45 mph), I tried to apply the brakes and they were locked. My steering was also locked that I couldn't turn. Thank god the signal just turned green for me as I coasted right through it and finally came to a stop on its own. I am very unhappy with this vehicle. I could have been in a serious accident, or better yet, dead! I no longer feel safe in this vehicle. My lease is up in 11 months and I will no longer purchase a daimler Chrysler vehicle.

Jeep Liberty 2002, ignition problems. Key goes into ignition but will not move backwards or forward, steering is locked as well. Occurs a couple times a year so far, usually by fiddling with it after 15 minutes I can get it started up. Not this time, the key won't budge either way and my car won't start.
