Airbag light goes on and off. Is not throwing a code on advanced scan tool. Also at times does not recognize the key has been removed from the ignition, and that appears to be a fault with the ignition key pin in the housing which Chrysler wants $1,000 or more to replace the ends tire steering column. What the hell do y'all guys even do because these problems exist all over the internet. Do y'all get kickbacks or make deals with the car companies because it seems not have to do anything with the safety of the equipment that is being sold.

Idid call chrysler hot line .know recall on this vin no3# but iam have the problem of what their saying about the brakes. i had the master cylinder replaced same problem.
Valve stem failure. Low tire pressure light came on, and tire immediately went flat while driving at 55-60 mph. After tire was changed, went to tire shop where they said valve stem was either blown out or sucked in, and 2 more were ready to fail, so replaced all 4. I didn’t quite understand all, but seemed to have something to do with the tire pressure sensor, or parts of it being worn.
THE SKY GLIDER HAS BROKEN AND PEELED COMPLETELY BACK WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE CAUSED ACCIDENT AND EVERY MAKE AND MODEL IN THIS YEAR AND A COUPLE YEARS NEWER TO OLDER HE'S HAD THE SAME ISSUE. CHRYSLER JEEP NO LONGER MAKES THE PART TO FIX THE SKY GLIDER THERE FOR OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE OR JUST OUT OF LUCK AND HAVE NO WAY TO FIX OR REPLACE THIS PART NOW THE CAR FLOODS WHEN IT RAINS BECAUSE IT DOES NOT SEAL COMPLETELY.BECAUSE OF THIS IT'S CAUSING OTHER ELECTRICAL DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AS WELL OF OTHER ISSUES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVERS OWNING THIS VEHICLE.
I HAVE A 2010 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT AND IT'S HEADLIGHTS CONTINUE TO GO OFF ON ME WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT'S ONLY NOTICEABLE AT NIGHT IN WHICH IS NOT SAFE. I'VE CHANGED BOTH LIGHT BULBS IN WHICH WORKED AND THEN WENT OUT WITHIN 20 MINS AGAI AT NIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY. THEN I CHANGED THE 30AMP/RELAY. THEN I CHANGED THE DIMMER SWITCH. ALL OF THIS DID NOT WORK. THEN THE DEALER CHANGED THE WINDSHIELD THAT IS LOCATED ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE AND IT WORKED FOR ABOUT A WEEK WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE LIGHT GOING OUT BUT WORKING WHEN I SHIMMY THE CORD OF CONDUCTOR. BUT LIKE IT DID PREVIOUSLY IT'S NOW NOT JUST THE PASSENGER LIGHT AS BOTH LIGHTS ARE AGAIN NOT WORKING. AND THEY ARE STARTING TO FLICKER THEN JUST GOES OUT ALTOGETHER TO WHERE NOW THE SHIMMY IS NO LONGER EFFECTIVE. NOW I'VE DONE ALL I CAN DO ON THE ELECTRICAL REALM BUT IT SEEMS AS THOUGH EVERYTHING I'VE ATTEMPTED IS JUST TEMPORARY OR DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP!
THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES (CRITICAL ERROR - CYLINDER MISFIRE) AND MY CAR VIBRATES/SHAKES WHENEVER I ACCELERATE OR GO UP ANY INCLINE ON A HIGHWAY. I WENT TO SEE A CERTIFIED MECHANIC TODAY (IN MICHIGAN) AND THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE 3.7L ENGINE HAS A DESIGN FLAW THAT ALLOWS A LARGE AMOUNT OF CARBON BUILDUP IN THE CYLINDERS, WHICH LEADS TO MISFIRE ISSUES. IT WILL COST OVER $2,000 TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE (12 HOURS WORTH OF WORK - THEY HAVE TO TAKE APART THE CYLINDERS AND WHOLE IGNITION/INTAKE SYSTEM, CLEAN THE PARTS, AND REPLACE GASKETS). THE MECHANIC SAYS THAT MY CAR IS NO LONGER SAFE FOR HIGHWAY DRIVING AND CAN BREAK DOWN AT ANY TIME. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 104,000 MILES. JEEP SHOULD NOT GET AWAY WITH SUCH A HORRIBLE DESIGN FLAW THAT WILL CAUSE MY CAR TO BREAK DOWN.
AIRBAG LIGHT SUDDENLY CAME ON WHEN TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY. MECHANIC SAYS CLOCKSPRING IS BROKEN AND AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON.
THE ROOF IS LEAKING ALL AROUND WHEN IT RAINS OR SNOWS. I HAVE REPORTED THIS SEVERAL TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP. WATER ACTUALLY DRIPS INSIDE THE VEHICLE, ONTO THE SHIFTING AREA, SEATS, AND THE CENTER OF THE DASHBOARD WHERE THE RADIO IS LOCATED. THE WATER ALSO DRIPS FROM THE FRONT LIGHT CEILING FIXTURE, WHICH MAY BE CREATING AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THE WATER IS COMING IN FROM WHERE THE ROOF RACK TRACKS BEGIN AND END, AND RUNS DOWN TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY. THE RUBBER STRIPPING THAT IS HOLDING THE ROOF RACK TRACKS ONTO THE VEHICLE ARE EITHER CORRODING, OR THE REINFORCEMENT AGENT/S ARE NOT WORKING.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE SUN ROOF WAS OPENED, SHE BECAME AWARE THAT THE BRACKET WAS FAULTY.

GRAND AVE, ELMHURST, IL 60126, (630) 333-9121) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE COST OF THE ROOF REPAIR EXCEEDED THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE HOWEVER, NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED.
