“Went to my mechanic a few weeks ago and he told me that my front drive shaft is broken. He did not see any physical damage as to why it broke. When we were researching prices for drive shafts we noticed that there was a recall on it in 2013. We purchased the vehicle in feb 2013 and never received a recall notice.”
NHTSA complaint #11076477, filed 2018-03, 107,813 miles“I own a 2007 Jeep Liberty limited at any given time while driving the gears seem to slip which causes the slippage light to turn on . I've taken to several Jeep garages and I'm told it's not the Jeep it's the way I drive the Jeep that is causing this slippage of the tires or the transmission. Can you help me with this problem?”
NHTSA complaint #10293773, filed 2009-11, 1,000 miles“Vehicle has 25000 miles and has had four power window regulators break, two of which were the same window. Vehicle transmission also shifts very hard between 1700 and 2100 RPM. Regulators were replaced on warranty, but I fear after warranty expires this will be very expensive. Have had no luck getting transmission fixed, everytime I take it in for repairs, I'm told they can't find anything wrong.”
NHTSA complaint #10257639, filed 2009-02, 13,000 miles“Since the day I got the vehicle I have had nothing but problems it shut off while driving the steering wheel would lock up and all lights on dash would light up.

While driving switches between 2 and 4 wheel drive on its own. The 4 wheel drive doesnt work. Transfer case, linkage cable broken. The part time light stay flashing or lite up on the dash the drive shalf broke and lower ball joint broke while driving. …”
NHTSA complaint #11352102, filed 2020-08, 150,000 miles“My Jeep Liberty sport crd has 16000 miles on it, and since new it has had a shudder or stumble from 50 to 60 MPH. It has had repairs to fix the problem, but it still remain to this day. This problem caused my vehicle to loose control in the winter conditions in my area. Which caused my vehicle to end up in the ditch. This could have been much worse if there was traffic at the time.”
