NHTSA Complaint #10166005 — 2005 JEEP LIBERTY

I HAVE HAD MY 2005 JEEP LIBERTY IN FIVE TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. IN EACH CASE THERE IS A SEVERE TO VERY SEVERE ACCELERATION PROBLEM. IN TWO CASES HAD TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED IN BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL, TWO TIMES I HAD TO BABY THE VEHICLE INTO DEALERSHIP ONLY ONCE DID I DRIVE IT IN LIKE AN ALMOST NORMAL VEHICLE. ENGINE SEEMED TO BE RUNNING FINE IN NEUTRAL BUT SEEMED TO BE MAYBE FIGHTING WITH AUTO TRANSMISSION OR TORQUE CONVERTER TO MOVE. DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED NUMEROUS PARTS ON TRANSMISSION, EGR VALVE TWICE, REPROGRAMMED SOMETHING ON TORQUE CONVERTER AND YET PROBLEM IS STILL THERE ON AN ONGOING BASIS SOMETIMES SLIGHT BUT ALWAYS APPARENT. ONE TIME IT TOOK ME TWO MINUTES TO GET THROUGH A STOP AND GO LIGHTS, THAT TIME DEALERSHIP SAID COMPUTER SAID I RAN OUT OF FUEL EVEN THOUGH FUEL GAGE SAID I STILL HAD A QUARTER OF A TANK AND THE WEEK BEFORE I HAD RUN IT TO EMPTY AND HAD NOT RUN OUT OF FUEL. VEHICLE CURRENTLY STUTTERS AT ABOUT 55-60 MPH HOUR AND HAS CONSISTENTLY GETS NO MORE THAN 22 MPG EVEN THOUGH IT HAS A DIESEL THAT SHOULD GET 26 MPG AND IT IS ALL HIGHWAY MILES. ONCE WHEN PASSING A VEHICLE IT STARTED TO ACT UP, YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL LOSE ACCELERATION. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I HAVE SENT IN A LEMON LAW REQUEST WHICH THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THEY RECEIVED 10 DAYS AGO AND STATED SOMEONE FROM MILWAUKEE OFFICE WOULD CONTACT ME IN THE NEXT TWO DAYS OR LESS BUT STILL HAVE NOT HEARD FROM ANYONE EVEN AFTER I CALLED TWO DAYS AGO ASKING WHY I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM MILWAUKEE OFFICE. *JB
