Problems with 2005 Jeep Liberty ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

As a single mother of baby twins, i am both completely freaked out as well as gratefully relieved to have found this site. the complaints read like a checklist of past issues and god willing, preventable future issues. the gas tank cannot be "topped off"... all things considered, this was a seemingly acceptable issue. the engine light coming on accompanied by totally unexplained stalling every so often became a problem which would cease just as randomly as it occurred. finally (when pregnant and nervous) i brought it in after one too many times. apparently this jeep model/year is weather sensitive. rain seemed to be the catalyst, but i refuse to put one of those anal person car covers on becoming a slave to the weatherchannel. mechanic changed temperamental sensor which, so far, seems to be managed. the a/c fan only works at 3 and up, which is too much hot/cold for even the most anemic after more than five minutes. back to the weather, winter causes front struts to creak and moan like a geriatric beast. once again, this is annoying but seemingly innocuous. four wheel drive shift only works in part time hi (or low, don't recall), which is disappointing though again, not life threatening. the combination of these defects simply feels as if it was built with indifference to the consumer. now that i have two priceless passengers, i refuse to wait for the cv joints to disengage before demanding all repairs be made and double checked by my implicitly trusted mechanic (ironically also a twin). in closing, thank you to all who contributed their stories and enlightening me to caution regarding the dangerous flaws as well as commiserating our shared frustration with the problems, like the window track disengaging, which combined are one big expensive potentiality dangerous headache. *tr

Failure to start- using key and remote starter. when the key was turned, it went all the way over and the engine did not crank, no noises from battery- just nothing. this occurred twice over a two month period, usually after about 15-20 minutes it would start. recently the problem has progressed from failing to start,to the bigger problem of dying when it is running. the vehicle will be running and all of a sudden dies with no warning. this is a safety hazard as it can happen at any time, at any speed. the dealership has had the vehicle now for a week and cannot duplicate the problem. the car has just over 14,000 miles on it and should not be having these problems. i do not feel safe in my own vehicle. *nm

Tl*-the contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty. while driving approximately 35 mph, an increase in acceleration occurred without warning. the vehicle was able to slow down after force was applied to the brake pedal. the engine was turned off for a few moments. the engine was restarted and was able to resume normal operation. the vehicle was taken to the dealer. the failure was contributed to the turbo charger faulty wire with a loose connection. the computerized system was reprogrammed. the vehicle was repaired for the malfunctions. the failure mileage was 67. the current mileage was 25,990 updated 6/1/10 *cn updated 06/04/10*lj the consumer stated while driving, the engine revved at a high rpm and almost caused him to have an accident. he jammed on the braes because he was approaching stopped traffic. the consumer soon pulled over to the side of the road and heard the accelerator pedal pop loose and back into position. prior to the incident, the check engine light illuminated and the throttle control light kept flashing and stayed on after the incident. the dealer stated a loose wire caused the problem. updated 09/02/10*jb the consumer stated the dealer sent him a check for the last problem. updated 09/14/10

We purchased our jeep liberty in 2005 and since then the window regulator as failed in every window at least 2 times and in a couple of them 3 times. we have spent hundreds of dollars getting them repaired and they continue to break. my wife was driving today traveling around 50 mph and the front right passenger window fell into the door. i contacted chrysler and they won't do anything. i believe this problem to be extremely pervasive around the country and chrysler refuses to issue a recall. please help. *tr

Tempurature gauage indicates vehicle is overheating. chrysler says vehicle will not overheat, the problem is in the gauge. no known repair for the problem. it is still unknown if it is a gauge or engine problem

2005 jeep liberty crd will "sling shot" itself when starting from a stop with the a/c on. when you start to accelerate making a turn from being stopped the vehicle will start to move and you can feel, hear the engine gaining rpm but not movement then a sudden slingshot effect will take place. the selling dealer said it was normal for a diesel engine with a turbo to do this. also stated it was in the electronics and there wasn't any thing they could do to repair it. i would have to wait for a factory bulletin to come out. this new vehicle pulls to the right constantly, i requested the alignment to be corrected during the same dealership visit as above. i was told my alignment was checked and there was no abnormal tire wear so it must be the crown of the road causing the pull or drift. this vehicle also surges when the cruise control is engaged and you start up an incline, it will continue to surge as long as the incline lasts. after picking the vehicle up at the dealership today i started home and all three of the faults occurred. i returned to the dealership and the shop foreman went with me , where the vehicle again acted up. he said there was not any thing they could do about the surging and the alignment and the sling shotting was turbo lag. i have not diven the vehicle on wet or snow covered pavement, however, with what does i not sure i want to.
