Speed Control Springs Problems of Jeep Liberty

My anti skid, abs, and esp lights are on. The cruise control is not working. Also, at about 50 mph, my front end acts up. I am told that this is a known problem with the clock spring.

Esp/bas, abs and skidding vehicle icon lights came on in the instrument cluster! the cruise control stopped working. This is the same issue we had on our 2007 Jeep wrangler, which I filed a complaint with the NHTSA, which issued a recall on our Jeep. The clock spring module, located under the steering wheel, controls, the abs, esp/bas, cruise control, horn, and air bag! this is a safety issue and should be recalled, like my 2007 Jeep wrangler was!.

The contact owns a 2006 Jeep Liberty. While driving at an unknown speed, the brake, check engine, and anti skid warning lights illuminated. In addition, the cruise control feature was activated, but failed to function. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the clock spring needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to the part not being available. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 125,000.

Bad clock spring located in steering column, effects many things including airbag. Extremely expensive to replace and have found it is a very common issue.

While traveling rt. 36 about 10 miles south of roaring springs, PA my 2003 Jeep Liberty suddenly accelerated and I had no braking control. I swerved across the 2 lane highway onto the berm, for fear of hitting oncoming traffic. I lost all steering control that I later found to be a broken tie rod on the right front. The vehicle continued in a circular manner at an excessive speed and with two feet pressing on the brake. I could not stop. Eventually the vehicle went over a stone embankment and fell about 15 feet and finally came to rest on a plateau just above a creekbed. Because of a multiplicity of very large stones, every panel of the Jeep Liberty was severely, with one exception and that was the roof. My wife and I were seriously and hurt and transported by ambulance the closest trauma center, the altoona hospital. My wife was diagnosed with a broken back and I was intensive care. The state police interviewed me over the phone while I was in the hospital and because of the unexplained nature of the accident, decided to write me up for excessive speed. They also charged me two points on my license. The car was totaled by a usaa authorized appraiser. I never contacted you, but I did contact usaa and told them something suspicious happened to that vehicle. The great publicity of the runaway toyotas made me recall this incident.

2002 Jeep Liberty spontaneously engaged in full acceleration. Vehicle reached 100 mph with no accelerator pedal influence or ability of brakes to decelerate. Put vehicle in neutral, rpms reached 7000 (maximum on tachometer) and I waited til vehicle reached 20 mph at which point I measured that I could safely shut off power and coast to a stop. Source of problem: accelerator spring mechanism got stuck under nearby cable in full-throttle position.
