ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
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.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
AFTER DRIVING SEVERAL MINUTES ON A CITY STREET, MULTIPLE DASH LIGHT COME ON, ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, ESP, AND BAS. THIS HAPPENS ONCE A WEEK. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO OCCUR ON DAYS ABOVE 75 DEGREES. FROM THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE. I BELIEVE ITS THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR / CLOCK SENSOR. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AS IT WAS EASY TO FIND THE INFORMATION ON UTUBE.

THE EVAP CONTAINER ISNT THE RIGHT PART AND OBVIOUSLY WAS ACTUALLY FOR A JEEP WRANGLER AND HAS AN EXTRA INLET. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT JEEP FOR THE LAST 4 MONTHS AND STILL NOTHING THIS VEHICLE WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING AND IT DRIVES ALOT OF INTERSTATE TRAVEL WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK AND STILL HAVE GOTTEN NOWHERE ALL I WANT IS FOR JEEP TO MAKE THIS RIGHT AND FIX THE MANUFACTURER MESS UP.

THIS CAR HAS ELETRICAL ISSUES, WHILE DRIVING, THE HORN STARTED GOING OFF ON HIS OWN. I NEVER USE MY HORN, AND CAN COUNT ON 1 HAND HOW MANY TIMES I USED IT. THE REPAIR COST ME OVER $800. I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE MOTOR FOR THE REAR DOOR, I NEVER USE THE HATCH, AND I HAD TO REPLACE. MY CAR IS NOW CURRENTLY BEING REPAIR FOR ANOTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THE PASSAGER DOOR IS CLOSED, HOWEVER THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS ON CAUSING MY INTERIOR LIGHT NOT TO STAY ON. THE PASSENGER DOOR IS COMPLETELY CLOSED- DUE TO THIS ELECTRICAL ISSUE MY LIGHTS WILL NOT SHUT OFF AND WILL KILL THE BATTERY. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCE BOTH WINDOWS DECIDED TO OPEN AND CLOSE WHILE DRIVING ON THEIR OWN. THIS CAR IS AN ELECTRICAL DISASTER. I DO NOT DRIVE LONG DISTANCE, JUST LOCAL. ITS A 2010 AND I HAVE 75, 000 MILES ON IT.

WHEN STARTING VEHICLE IT WILL NOT TURN OVER. IT CONTINUES TO CRANK UNTIL IGNITION IS SWITCHED OFF. THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME AND IS VERY UNPREDICTABLE. TYPICALLY AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS THE VEHICLE WILL START UP CORRECTLY. THE VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS IN THE COLD AND IN THE HEAT, AFTER RUNNING FINE ALL DAY OR SITTING TURNED OFF OVER NIGHT.

THE TIPM(TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) HAS STICKING OR DEFECTIVE RELAYS, FAILS TO PROPERLY WORK ON FACTORY INSTALLED TRAILER HITCH, AND NOW REAR BRAKING LIGHTS STAYING ON, CAUSING A DEAD BATTERY. I HAD TO PULL A FUSE TO STOP THIS. THE TIPM HAS HAD A LONG HISTORY OF MANUFACTURING DEFECTS IN OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES WHICH WERE RECALLED, REPLACED BY MFR. I RECOMMEND THE SAME FOR THIS MODEL.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
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.
