2006 JEEP LIBERTY Electronic Stability Control Esc Problems

ESP PROBLEM, I BEEN WORKING ON THE BREAKS, MASTER CYLINDER, CALIPERS, BRAKE CONTROL, SENSORS AND I DON'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT TO DO. *TR

MY ENGINE LIGHT IT ON

I'VE TO REPLACE THE REAR TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY 4 TIMES, IT KEEPS BLOWING OUT THE BRAKE AND TAIL LIGHT. I'VE ALSO HAD TO PURCHASE 5 A/C COMPESSORS FOR THIS TRUCK AND THE ABS, TRACTION LIGHT STAYS ON.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY, FOR NO APPARENT REASON, THE ESP, ABS, AND BRAKE LIGHTS ALL SARTED FLASHING AT ONCE. SINCE THEN, MY VEHICLE WOULD CONSTANTLY LOSE POWER AND STALL OUT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. DIAGNOSTIC CHECK INDICATED A DEFECTIVE SPEED SENSOR. IT WAS REPLACED, AND THE ISSUE CORRECTED ITSELF SOMEWHAT FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS. HOWEVER...THE SAME EXACT ISSUE RETURNED. IT PROGRESSIVELY BECAME SO BAD I HAD TO REMOVE THE ABS FUSES IN ORDER TO EVEN DRIVE THE VEHICLE, THUS CREATING AN EQUALLY DANGROUS SITUATION. MY JEEP IS OUT OF WARRANTY, OF COURSE, AND I'VE READ TONS OF COMPLAINTS OF THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE, SO I AM BASICALLY (DANGEROUSLY) WAITING FOR A RECALL TO OCCUR.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE ABS BAS ESP STOPPED WORKING AND THE LIGHTS CAME ON. WE WERE LIVING IN FT WAYNE INDIANS AT THE TIME AND WITHOUT THOSE FEATURES THIS JEEP IS FLAT OUT DANGEROUS. I HAD THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR REPLACED TWICE BUT THAT WASN'T IT. ONE DEALER REBUILT ALL FOUR OF MY BRAKES AND PURGED THE SYSTEM. THAT DIDN'T WORK. I PAID FOUR DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS OVER 3800$ PLUS RENT FEES. IT STILL IS T FIXED.

MY ANTI SKID, ABS, AND ESP LIGHTS ARE ON. THE CRUISE CONTROL IS NOT WORKING. ALSO, AT ABOUT 50 MPH, MY FRONT END ACTS UP. I AM TOLD THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE CLOCK SPRING.

AT 44,143 IN DEC 2009 I HAD 4 NEW TIRES AND REAR DISC PADS REPLACED. IN JULY 2012, ABOUT MILEAGE 54000, WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN, THE LEFT REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR FAILED CAUSING LOSS OF ABS, ESP, AND CRUISE CONTROL. I HAD DEALER REPAIR. AT 67,642,IN APRIL 2016, I NOTICED THE REAR DISC ROTORS WERE CAKED WITH A CRUSTY RUST AND IT APPEARED THAT THE BRAKE PADS WERE WORN OUT.. THE REAR BRAKES COULD NOT HAVE BEEN WORKING. THE DEALER PUT ON NEW ROTORS, CALIPERS, PADS, AND FLUSHED THE SYSTEM. THE RUSTY ROTORS COULD NOT BE TURNED TO REUSE, THE CALIPERS WERE BOTH "STUCK" AND THE BRAKE FLUID WAS "BLACK". I ALSO HAD THE FRONT ROTORS TURNED AND NEW PADS INSTALLED. THE ABS, ESP, AND CRUISE CONTROL STILL LIGHTS UP ON THE DASH FOR A MINUTE THEN GOES OUT BY ITSELF, LEADING ME TO TOTALLY DISTRUST THE SYSTEM. I HAVE...

WENT TO START SMOKE CAME OUT FROM DASH WAS PARKED IN GARGAGE TRUCK IS STILL IN SHOP INS TOLD ME ONLY REASON THEY WOUL D COVER IS BECAUSE IS WAS A LONG COUSTOMER THY ONLY GAVE ME 883 TO REPAIR THERE ARE AT LEAST 14 CODES DUE TO THIS DON'T KNOW IF THEY WILL RESET IF NOT I HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS I DO HAVE FIRE PROTECTION ON TRUCK THIS IS ALLSTATE I WILL SEND PAPER WORK IF NEEDED AT A LATER DATE I HAVE NONE ALSO WAITING FOR CHECK TOLD FOR ME TO PAY REPAIR SHOP

JEEP WOULD NOT START -HAD LIGHTS, RADIO, HORN ETC. BUT IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER AT ALL. TOWED TO DEALER. TECH PERFORMED DIAGNOSIS AND FOUND THE PROBLEM - STEERING COLUMN HAD TO BE REPLACED. TOTAL COST $798.00. I WAS TOLD THAT THE STEERING COLUMN AND IGNITION SWITCH WERE PROBLEM ISSUES IN THIS MAKE AND MODEL BUT NO RECALL WAS IN PLACE TO REPAIR. IGNITION SWITCH RECALL REPLACE IN 2006 JEEP LIBERTY MANUAL TRANSMISSION BUT NOT IN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

ABS SYSTEM GOES OUT WHICH IN TURN MAKES THE CRUISE CONTROL GO OUT. THEN WHEN YOU USE THE VEHICLE AGAIN THE ABS IS ON SO IS THE CRUISE CONTROL BUT THE BRAKES DON'T WORK WELL AND GRAB. THEN WHEN YOU ARE USING THE LIGHTS AT NIGHT IT DIMS FOR NO REASON INSIDE AND OUT. STILL WAITING ON THE FIX FOR THE REAR END FUEL TANK ISSUE

ABS, BAS/ESP, TCS INDICATOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATE, VEHICLE LOSES POWER, BRAKES ARE APPLIED ( MOST LIKELY RIGHT FRONT AS CAR PULLS TO RIGHT) RELEASING THROTTLE CANCELS THE BRAKING. AS THROTTLE IS REAPPLIED SAME ACTION IS REPEATED. SO FAR IT HAS ONLY OCCURRED AT SPEEDS< 35 MPH. SHOULD IT OCCUR IN SLIPPERY ROAD CONDITIONS IT MOST LIKELY RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL.IN RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET, IT SEEMS TO BE OR IS BECOMING A MORE COMMON OCCURENCE WHICH FCA IS NOT ADDRESSING. IF YOU READ THE OTHER COMPLAINT OF THE SAME PROBLEM IT DATES BACK A FEW YEARS, YET THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANYTHING DONE TO CORRECT IT. SOME COMPLAINANTS SAY THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO HAVE IT CORRECTED EVEN AT JEEP DEALERSHIPS, OTHERS REPORT IT'S SOMETHING CALLED THE CLOCK SPRING THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM AND THE PARTS TO REPAIR IT AREN'T AVAILABLE. HAVING JUST RECENTLY HAD FCA'S...

THE PAIN ON THE OUTSIDE ROOF IS PEELING, I DO LIVE IN A STATE WHERE THE ROADS ARE SALTED HOWEVER, THERE IS NO SALT USED ON THE TOP OF THE VEHICLE, THIS, WHILE NOT A NEW VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE PEELING THE WAY IT IS. THE FRONT WINDSHIELD HAD A SEVERE CHIP & THE INSTALLER WAS BARELY ABLE TO SAND THIS AREA DOWN ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO SEAL THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH & THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ALONG WITH THE REAR WINDOW REGULATORS BOTH OF WHICH HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED. THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH THE EMERGENCY BREAK & THE JEEP DEALERSHIP GIVES ONE REASON FOR THE ABS, ESP AMONG OTHER WHEEL AND BREAKING ISSUES. AND NOW THE ONE THING THAT JEEP IS FINALLY SUPPOSED TO BE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT RATHER THAN ME HAVING TO PUT MORE MONEY INTO THIS VEHICLE FOR, THE GAS...

THE CLOCK SPRING ON THIS 2006 JEEP LIBERTY HAS BEEN BROKEN FOR MORE THAN TWO YEARS. THIS HAS DISABLED THE ABS SYSTEM, VEHICLE STABILITY PROGRAM AND THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM TO JEEP AND THEY ARE DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. THEY JUST CONTINUE TO SAY THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER. THIS IS UNSAFE AND SOMEONE MUST FORCE A MANDATORY IMMEDIATE SOLUTION IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS ALONE SINCE MAY 2015 THE BACKORDER HAS GROWN FROM 500+ TO 700+ AND NOW CHRYSLER WON'T EVEN RETURN MY CALL

AFTER A SERVICE AT FERMAN CHRYSLER IN NEW PORT RICHEY, FLORIDA ...MY ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHTS CAME ON AND WHEN I WAS TRAVELING IN A CONGESTED AREA THE VEHICLE JUST STARTED COMING TO AN EXTREME STOP WITHOUT MY CONTROL OR EVEN APPLYING THE BRAKES.

ESP/BAS, ABS AND SKIDDING VEHICLE ICON LIGHTS CAME ON IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER! THE CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE WE HAD ON OUR 2007 JEEP WRANGLER, WHICH I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE NHTSA, WHICH ISSUED A RECALL ON OUR JEEP. THE CLOCK SPRING MODULE, LOCATED UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL, CONTROLS, THE ABS, ESP/BAS, CRUISE CONTROL, HORN, AND AIR BAG! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED, LIKE MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER WAS!

WHENEVER THE STEERING WHEEL MOVES BETWEEN THE 1 AND 2' O CLOCK DIRECTION THE ESP/BAS LIGHT COMES ON AND CANNOT BE TURNED OFF WITHOUT SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE PARKED AND IN MOTION AT LOW SPEEDS. I TOOK IT INTO MY LOCAL DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND IT WAS REPORTED TO BE A FAULTY STEERING SENSOR/CLOCKSPRING. WHICH CONTROLS THE ESP/BAS PROGRAM AS WELL AS THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG SHOULD THERE BE AN IMPACT. I TOOK MY JEEP IN EARLY FEBRUARY AND THE PART WAS PLACED ON BACK ORDER BECAUSE THERE WAS NONE AVAILABLE IN THE NATIONWIDE INVENTORY WAS EXPECTED AT THE EARLIEST, MID-MAY. THE RECOMMENDATION IS NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I FOLLOWED UP IN EARLY MAY AND THAT DATE WAS SHIFTED TO AUGUST. I FOLLOWED UP IN THIS PAST WEEK AND THE DATE HAS BEEN SHIFTED YET AGAIN TO MID-SEPTEMBER. GOING ON 7 PLUS MONTHS...

DASHBOARD LIGHTS FOR ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, AND TRACTION CONTROL COME ON AND STAYED LIT UNTIL AFTER TURNING THE MOTOR OFF. THE SYSTEMS DON'T SEEM TO FUNCTION WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE ON. THIS OCCURS SEVERAL TIMES A MONTH WITH NO APPARENT REASON, IE: NOT SLIPPERY CONDITIONS, WEATHER IS VARIABLE. I NOTICED ANOTHER DRIVER SAID IT HAPPENS WHEN THEIR LIGHTS ARE ON. I ALWAYS DRIVE WITH MY LIGHTS ON, SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS A FACTOR. *TR

ESP BAS ABS LIGHTS KEEPING COMING ON AND PULLING TO ONE SIDE OCCASIONALLY FOR UNKNOWN REASON WHILE LIGHTS ARE ON. NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET FROM OTHER 2006 JEEP LIBERTY OWNERS. *TR

THE CLOCK SPRING ON THIS JEEP HAS BROKEN AND HAS BEEN BROKEN FOR MORE THAN TWO MONTHS. THIS HAS DISABLED THE HORN, ABS SYSTEM, CRUISE CONTROL, VEHICLE STABILITY PROGRAM AND MOST IMPORTANTLY THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM TO JEEP AND THEY ARE DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. THEY JUST CONTINUE TO SAY THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER. THIS IS UNSAFE AND SOMEONE MUST FORCE A MANDATORY IMMEDIATE SOLUTION. *TR

TURNING LEFT THE CAR LOST CONTROL SPINNING AROUND 360 DEGREES. IT WAS AROUND 9PM. NO TRAFFIC NO CARS AROUND, NO CRASHES.

AC COMPRESSOR HAD TO BE REPLACED I DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT.. ALSO THE COMPUTER WENT ON IT AND THAT WAS REPAIRED ON 10/11/13... I WAS TOLD THE SPARK PLUGS WERE WRONG. I HAVE NEVER HAD A TUNE UP OR MY SPARK PLUGS CHANGED! UNLESS THE WRONG ONES WERE IN THERE WHEN I BOUGHT THIS BRAND NEW IN SEPTEMBER OF 2006. OR POSSIBLY THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP DID IT TO GET A REPAIR. SAFFORD IN SPRINGFIELD VA. I WILL NOT STOP PERUSING THIS UNTIL I HAVE ANSWERS. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

BOTH REAR PASSAGE WINDOWS FAIL TO WORK AT ALL WE HAD TO TAPE UP THE WINDOWS AND THE POWER MAKE A GRILLING NOISE. *TR

ABS, ESP, BRAKE LIGHT, BATTERY AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, COME OFF AND ON I HAVE TOOK IT TO JEEP AT TWO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS, NEITHER PLACE HAS BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE MY PROBLEM, I EVEN DROVE WITH TECH IN THE CAR, HE SAW THE LIGHT COME ON AND WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. *TR

DASHBOARD LIGHTS FOR ABS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, AND TRACTION CONTROL CAME ON AND STAYED LIT AND I WAS ABLE TO RESET AFTER TURNING THE MOTOR OFF. *TR

ABS/ESP ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL PROBLEM. VEHICLES STARTED BRAKING CAUSING UNCONTROLLABLE SWERVING ON HIGHWAY, WHICH MY NEWBORN TWINS IN THE BACK SEAT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIG ISSUE WITH JEEP. VEHICLE WILL BRAKE HARD ON A TIRE WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THINKING THAT THERE IS TIRE TRACTION SLIPPAGE. *TR

INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH ABS/ELECTRONIC STABILITY SYSTEM SETTING WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH AND DISABLING ABS/ESP. WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATE, AND TURN OFF RANDOMLY. MALFUNCTION HAS NOW LEAD TO FAILURE OF ABS, CAUSING LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL WHILE BRAKING. ABS CYCLED WITHOUT NEED, AND IMPROPERLY, CAUSING UNEVEN BRAKING AND VIOLENT, UNCONTROLLED SWERVING OF VEHICLE. REQUIRED REMOVAL OF ABS PUMP FUSE TO MAKE VEHICLE DRIVABLE AGAIN. THIS OCCURRED UNDER NORMAL BRAKING FROM ~45MPH TO A RED LIGHT. HAD THIS OCCURRED AT FREEWAY SPEEDS, OR UNDER AN EMERGENCY STOP, THERE WOULD HAVE ALMOST CERTAINLY BEEN AN ACCIDENT. OWNER FORUMS REPORT THIS AS A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

HELLO, I BOUGHT A 2006 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT IN ROMANIA KJ / LE85 (THE LIBERTY 4X4 JEEP FOR EUROPE), FROM CASA AUTO ROMANIA: / 7 FEBRUARY 2007. MY TECHNICAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR, STILL IN WARRANTY (2 YEARS WARRANTY IN ROMANIA) ARE: -THE ESP/BAS WARNING LAMP COMES ON CONTINUOUSLY WITH ENGINE RUNNING, THE LIGHT REMAINS ON AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 30MPS. FIRST, THIS PROBLEM WAS RANDOMLY APPEARING, BUT NOW IT APPEARS EACH TIME I AM DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WITH SPEEDS GREATER THAN 30 MILES/H . -2 TIMES MY ENGINE LOST POWER FOR NO REASON; -THE FUEL CONSUMPTION URBAN: CA 17 L / 100 KM; -THE FUEL CONSUMPTION EXTRA URBAN: CA 12 / /100 KM. MY CAR IS FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THE SERVICE IN THE LAST 6 WEEKS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM ? ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, THE PRIMARY SAFETY SYSTEM OF THIS VEHICLE. FIRST TIME, AFTER 3 WEEKS THEY...

THIS IS MY THIRD COMPLAINT FOR THE SAME ON -GOING PROBLEM. THE ABS/BAS, ESP LAMP WILL COME ON WHEN GOING 45-50 MPH OR MEDIUM ACCELERATION. AT VARIOUS TIME THE ENGINE WILL LOSE POWER. JEEP LIBERTY HAS BEEN TAKEN BACK THREE TIMES TO DEALER. THEY SAID THEY ARE UNABLE TO DUPILCATE PROBLEM AS THE PROBLEM MUST NE ACTIVE. THE CODES ARE PRESENT, BUT NOT ACTIVE. I'VE WRITTEN CHRYSLER/JEEP WITH NOT HELP OR ASSISTANCE. VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. *TR

THIS IS MY SECOND TIME IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. MY LAST COMPLAINT WAS THE ABS/BAS, ESP LAMP COMING ON. MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 1-1/2 WEEKS. THE DEALER SAYS THE CODES ARE STORED, BUT THEY MUST BE ACTIVE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. THE DAY AFTER PICKING UP MY JEEP LIBERTY, I WAS DRIVING ON THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AT 45-50 MPH, THE SAME LAMPS CAME ON. NOW I AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR FEAR OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 24,888. I RECENTLY WROTE TO CHRYSLER TO COMPLAIN. *TR

ABS/BAS, ESP AND TRACTION CONTROL CONTINUES TO COME ON. THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THE DEALER IS VERY COOPERATIVE. THEY CONTINUE TO WORK WITH CHRYSLER AND JEEP, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD TIME BACK TO THE DEALER. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 24,000 MILES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AND EVASIVE MOVE WAS MADE TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT. THE STABILITY CONTROL DID WHAT IT WAS SUPPOSE TO DO, THE LIGHT LIT TO SIGNAL IT WAS ACTIVATED, THEN THE ESP/BAS LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE BECAME LOCKED IN A LIMP MODE. I PULLED TO THE SIDE AND RESTARTED THE CAR. THE TWO ABOVE MENTIONED LIGHTS WENT OUT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT LIT. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED. ONE OF THE TIME IT HAPPENED ON THE TECH REPAIRING THE JEEP. MANY PARTS AND SOFTWARE UPDATES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A NEW 2006 JEEP LIBERTY AND HAVE HAD REPEATED PROBLEM WITH THE ROLLOVER PROTECTION PROGRAM SAFETY SYSTEM. HERE'S WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING: I WOULD BE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET IN A STRAIGHT LINE, SAY 30 MPH, AND THE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHTS WOULD GO ON, THEN MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKES WOULD BEGIN FIRING BECAUSE THEY THINK THAT THE CAR IS ABOUT TO ROLL OVER. AFTER A FEW SECONDS, THIS WOULD STOP. BUT AFTER THAT, SOMETIMES THE BRAKES LOCKED UP ALTOGETHER. OTHER TIMES DRIVING WENT BACK TO NORMAL EXCEPT FOR THE WARNING LIGHT STAYING ON. IT'S A LITTLE SCARY AND MORE THAN A LITTLE DANGEROUS FOR YOUR BRAKES TO LOCK UP THIS WAY. THE CAR WAS IN THE SHOP FOR WEEKS. I SPENT HUNDREDS ON RENTAL CARS. AND I HAD TO REPLACE MY BACK BRAKES AT 16,000 MILES. I BELIEVE THAT WAS DUE TO THIS SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONING. THIS IS AN...
