2010 JEEP LIBERTY WITH ONLY 1,939 MILES ON THE VEHICLE THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WHILE UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE DRIVER WAS STRUCK IN THE HEAD WITH THE AIR BAG. THE IMPACT CAUSED THE DRIVER TO BECOME DISORIENTED AND DRIVE 200 MILES WITH NO MEMORY OF THE DRIVE AND EVENTS THAT OCCURRED IN A 4 HOUR TIME PERIOD. THE DRIVER REGAINED AWARENESS AFTER THE LOW FUEL WARNING CHIME STARTED TO RING. AT SOME POINT DURING THAT 4 HOUR DRIVE THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT AND REAR TIRES WENT OFF OF THE ROAD CAUSING A PIECE PLASTIC IN THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WHEEL WELL TO BREAK OFF. OTHER THAN THE BROKEN PIECE PLASTIC THE WAS NO PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE BODY OR SUSPENSION OF THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO INVESTIGATE THE CAUSE OF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT BASED ON THE PIECE OF BROKEN PLASTIC IN THE LEFT REAR WHEEL WELL. *TR

DAUGHTER PULLED OUT OF DRIVEWAY TURNED LEFT ONTO STREET AND IMMEDIATELY HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND OBSERVED THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD INSTRUMENTATION PANEL LIGHT UP. WIPERS CAME ON, DOORS LOCKED, ENGINE CUT OFF, ALARM WENT OFF, WIPER FLUID STARTED SPRAYING AND SMOKE STARTED POURING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. FORTUNATELY SHE WAS ABLE TO UNLOCK THE DOORS AND GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. ELECTRICAL WIRING WAS STILL SMOKING 45 MINUTES AFTER THE POWER FINALLY DRAINED FROM THE BATTERY. TOW TRUCK REFUSED TO MOVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL A MECHANIC CAME TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. LOCAL SHOP SAID ALL THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUITRY WAS BURNED UP OR COMPROMISED, INCLUDING THE WIRING HARNESSES, GROUND WIRES, FUSED BOX, TIPM, ETC. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PRONOUNCED UNFIXABLE.

MY 2010 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT WENT ON FIRE. I WAS STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STARTED TO COMPLETELY MALFUNCTION. THE CARE SHUT OFF AT THE STOP SIGN, THE HORN WENT OFF FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES, THE WINDSHEILD WIPPERS WENT OFF, ALL OF THE DOORS LOCKED AND I SAW SMOKE FROM THE HOOD. I DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO DO AND MAYBE AFTER ABOUT 3 MINUTES OF TRYING TO GET DOORS TO UNLOCK THEY FINALLY DID I GOT OUT AND OPENED THE HOOD AND THE WHOLE HOOD WAS UP IN FLAMES. NOW ITS A TOTAL LOSS THEY ARE ONLY PAYING OFF MY LOAN AND I AM STUCK WITH TRYING TO COME UP WITH MY OWN MONEY TO BUY A NEW CAR NOW I THINK I SHOULD BE ENTILTED TO A LAWSUIT I COULD OF DIED IF THOSE DOORS DID NOT END UP UNLOCKING. EVERY JEEP SHOULD BE RECALLED.
2010 JEEP LIBERTY SPONTANEOUSLY CAUGHT ON FIRE AND EXPLODED ON FRIDAY APRIL 15, 2016. MY STEPDAD AND I WERE OUT AND WE STOPPED AND PICKED UP A PIZZA ON THE WAY HOME AND EVERYTHING WAS JUST FINE THE WHOLE DRIVE HOME, NO SMELL, NO DRIVING ISSUES, NO SMOKE, NO OVERHEATING DINGS, NO FUNKY SOUNDS. WE PULLED INTO THE DRIVEWAY TO PARK AND TURNED OFF THE CAR, MY STEPDAD GOT OUT FIRST, AND WHEN I OPENED MY DOOR I SAID 'OOH IT SMELLS LIKE FALL!' (I THOUGHT THE NEIGHBORS WERE HAVING A BONFIRE OR SOMETHING.) THEN I SAW IT AND TOLD HIM 'THE CAR IS SMOKING!' AND I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND GOT AWAY FROM IT. HE TRIED TO OPEN THE HOOD THINKING IT WAS A RADIATOR OR SOMETHING BUT IT WAS SO HOT IT BURNED HIS FINGERS AND THEN HE LIFTED IT A BIT WITH A SCREWDRIVER AS WE WENT TO GET THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND WE SAW THE FIRE START SHOOTING OUT OF THE SIDES. IT WAS SO HOT AND SO FAST. I SCREAMED AT HIM TO GET HIM AWAY FROM IT BECAUSE I KNEW IT WAS GOING TO EXPLODE, AND AS SOON AS HE WAS A BIT AWAY FROM IT, THE HOOD DID EXPLODE UP AND THEN IT STARTED REALLY SHOOTING FLAMES OUT AND AND THAT'S WHEN I CALLED 911. THERE WERE SEVERAL MORE EXPLOSIONS WHILE WE WAITED ON THE FIREFIGHTERS. IT WAS TOTALLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES IN 5 MINUTES. THERE IS NOTHING LEFT BUT A SHELL, AND IT WAS ONE LAYER FROM BURNING OUR HOUSE DOWN. IF WE WERE IN IT ANOTHER 60 SECONDS, WE'D HAVE TAKEN THAT FIRST EXPLOSION TO THE FACES. WE COULD HAVE DIED AND WE ALMOST LOST OUR HOUSE, OUR BARN AND ANOTHER CAR INSIDE THE BARN. I'M FURIOUS. OTHER PEOPLE COULD DIE.
