2002 Jeep Liberty unknown or other problems

“THE HORN MEMBRANE HAS FAILED AND IT WILL REQUIRE THE ENTIRE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG TO BE REPLACED OR I AM STUCK WITH NO HORN. THE HORN SHOULD NOT BE TIED TO THE AIRBAG. THEY WANT 1,500 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG WITH THE HORN. TO DATE I AM WITHOUT A HORN. STILL NO WORKING HORN WHICH IS AN ALERTING DEVICE TO OTHER MOTORISTS”

“HEAT IS NOT WORKING IT THROWS OUT COOL/COLD AIR. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY LIBERTY OWNERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. IT IS A PAIN SINCE I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN AND THE CAR IS SO COLD YOU CAN SEE EVERYONE'S BREATH. I'VE HAD THE RADIATOR FLUSHED AND HAD A FEW THINGS CHECKED AND STILL NO HEAT. OVER THE SUMMER I HAD THE A/C FIXED BECAUSE IT STARTED THROWING OUT HOT AIR. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR AND I'M SURPRISED IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. THE CAR IS DRIVEN ON A DAILY BASIS IN NEW JERSEY. CAR IS MOSTLY DRIVEN ON CITY STREETS AND OCASIONAL HIGHWAY. MY JEEP WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR RECALLS, BUT LOOKING FOR RECALLS TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANYTHING FOR THE HEAT I NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE CONTROL ATMS/BUSHINGS. I WAS NEVER TOLD ABOUT THIS RECALL AND NOTHING WAS DONE AT THE DEALER. LAST MONTH DRIVING ONE OF MY BUSHINGS BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND I LOST A WHEEL.”

“WELL WHERE DO I START. SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN MAY OF 2016 I HAVE REPLACE MULTIPLE PARTS ,BUT THEY WEREN'T PART OF ANY RECALLS. BUT NOW MY CONCERN REVIEWING RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLE AND TRYING TO ADDRESS THESE NUMEROUS DEFECTS . I'M ALMOST FED UP. MY MAIN COVER IS THE J17 RECALL FOR THE UPPER CONTROL ARM BALL JOINT OF WHICH A CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVE ADVIDEO MY MY VEHICLE WAS PART OF ,WHICH I CLUELESS ON HOW AS THE RECALL DOESN'T SPECIFY OTHER THAN 2002 TO 2003 LIBERTY VWHILES . NOW I SHOW THAT THEY WERE REPLACED IN THE PAST AND NOW THEY SINCE ARE WORN IN THE SAME DESCRIPTION THEY WERE RECALLED IN . AND CHRYSLER DENIES RESPONSIBILITY (?) .. ALSO OTHER CONCERNS WITH THE CATYLIC CONVERTER CAUSING A SULFUR SMELL WHEN THE VEHICLE IS GOING UP HILL ASO WELL AS TOWING . ONE MORE THING IS NUMEROUS ONLINE FORUM ABOUT THE ENGINE TICKING BEING NORMAL AND UNFIXABLE OTHER THEN TO REPLACE THE ENGINE . NOW ALL THIS PLUS THE MULTIPLE PARTS I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED A VEHICLE LESS THEN 15 YEARS ON THE MARKET NEEDED A IN OTHER WORDS FULLY RESTORATION IS UNACCEPTABLE. ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE STOCK 1948 JEEP THAT NEED LESS REPAIRS THAN THIS .”

“I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE, N46/NHTSA 13V-252. THIS INVOLVED THE FUEL TANK WHICH COULD RESULT IN A FIRE AFTER A REAR END COLLISION. THE FIX WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A TRAILER HITCH WOULD BE INSTALLED TO PROVIDE PROTECTION FOR THE REAR MOUNTED FUEL TANK. ALSO, I WAS SUPPOSED TO RECEIVE A $100 VISA CARD FOR MY TIME AND TROUBLE IN GETTING THIS DONE. AFTER I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, JOHN HIRSCH IN CAMBRIDGE MN, THEY DECLINED TO INSTALL THE TRAILER HITCH, CITING SOME RUST UNDER THE CAR PREVENTED THEM FROM DOING SO. THE JEEP IS A 14 YEAR OLD MINNESOTA CAR AND MOST WILL HAVE SOME RUST ON THE UNDERBODY. IF THEY DIDN'T INTEND TO HELP ALOT OF THE OLDER CAR OWNERS, I FEEL MY TIME WAS WASTED AND I STILL HAVE A DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. IS THIS CHRYSLER'S WAY OF SAVING DOLLARS ON THE RECALLS?”
