On Tuesday, 3/6/07 my son was driving our 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee LTD when he pulling into his parking spot at work and the Jeep suddenly accelerated at full throttle. He applied the brakes as hard as he could but flew right into into a concrete wall. We heard from our insurance company yesterday and they did total the vehicle. Thank God no one was injured (and that my grandchildren were not in the vehicle with him).

I think I'm also glad it was a total. There is no way in this world that I would ever feel comfortable with my family being in that car again....and I wouldn't have wanted to try selling it to someone else. I can't believe with all the complaints I'm finding out about Chrysler takes no responsibility. I feel totally screwed by the big corporate world.

We have no GAP insurance on the vehicle. The difference between the insurance payoff (less our deductble)leaves us having to come up with about 2,800 to pay it off. And now we have no family size vehicle.

I purchased a 2005 Jeep Liberty Diesel from Chrysler Jeep in Red Lion, PA in 10/05. Since my purchase, I have had nothing but problems with the engine. The Jeep has been in and out of the dealership at least 12 times. I can provide many of the service papers if needed. PA has a lemon law, but only up to 12,000 miles. Due to my work, I put on 12,000 miles within 3-4 months. I called Chrysler to complain about the problems I've been having and the only solution they gave me was to purchase the extended warranty that would give me coverage for up to 100K miles. The cost of the extended warranty is about 2,500. I went ahead and purchased the extended warranty and am paying that in monthly installments. I would like to pursue the Federal Lemon Law at this point.

The Jeep Diesel has had two recalls, which have been completed on my vehicle. However, the transmission has had numerous problems that have been fixed and replaced various times. I've had the Jeep 1 year and it's been back to the dealership every other month and the problems still persist. The dealership and Chrysler have done nothing to assist me with these problems. I want to consult with an attorney about the Federal Lemon Law.

I was injured and my vehicle was damaged when my jeep went into reverse on its own while idling in park. After the incident I became aware that a recall had been issued for this reason. I was never informed of this recall by the manufacturer or the dealer where I purchased and have my vehicle repaired at.

The jeep knocked me to the ground and dragged me while my hand was slammed in the door. It ran over my leg resulting in injurying my knee. My hand is cut and severly bruised from being slammed in the door and my body is covered in road rash from being dragged. In addition, my jeep is wrecked so I have no transportation to work or school or doctor's appointments.

I have a 2004 JEEP Liberty. Still under warranty. I have had it to two dealers because there is a problem with the transmission not shifting properly. Both dealers told me there was nothing wrong with it. Then I had a local mechanic tell me that my lower ball joints were bad. He took me right under the car and showed me how they were loose. Took it to a dealer and was told there was nothing wrong with it...that it was within their factory specs. I now suspect this is also the case with the transmission...it is probably within their factory specs. Not sure why they bother having a warranty if they are not going to fix anything that is wrong...only things that are totally shot. I now find out that my JEEP is included in a recall for....surprise, surprise...bad ball joints!! Only problem is that I have to continue driving it until they get around to sending me a recall notice. I feel this is unsafe since bad ball joints can wear on your tires.

No damage yet, but there is certainly potential for damage since I have to drive around with bad ball joints.

I bought a new 2006 Jeep wrangle rubicon in Dec. of 2005. I have 11,000 miles on it. Twice in the past week the car has suddenly shut down while driving on the freeway. There is no acceleration, power, etc. Then, the check engine light comes on. I was nearly plowed into on both occasions from the rear. Luckily, I was going slighly downhill, so I could get to the center divide. This car is so dangerous and I could have been seriously hurt if not killed. I brought it to a jeep dealership. They are going to put it on the diagnostic machine to see what the problem might be. I have yet to hear from them. I refuse to drive this car until the problem is taken care of. It is an accident waiting to happen as it stands now.
