THE DAY, JULY 10, 2014, STARTED OUT WITH MY WIFE, GRANDDAUGHTER AND ME GOING TO THE GROCERY STORE IN MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. WE WERE BACK BY NOON, HAD SOME LUNCH AND ABOUT 1:30PM PUT GRANDDAUGHTER DOWN FOR A NAP. ABOUT 2:00PM WIFE NEEDED TO GO INTO TOWN FOR AN ERRAND. SHE BACKED THE JEEP OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY AND CONTINUED DOWN THE ROAD GOING ABOUT 15 MPH. THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE BLOWS (4 TIRES ON THE VEHICLE BOUGHT APPROX. 14 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT - GOODYEAR P225/75R16 WRANGLER ST 104S) AND THE SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. VEHICLE DID NOT HIT ANYTHING NOR WAS IT HIT BY ANYTHING. WIFE DID SUSTAIN A SLIGHT RED BRUISE ON HER LEFT CHEEK. GOOD THING IT DID NOT HAPPEN WITH ALL OF US IN THE VEHICLE OR GOING 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. I CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE. CHRYSLER GROUP LLC CONDUCTED AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE INCIDENT AND INSPECTED THE JEEP. THE INSPECTION FOUND NO INDICATION OF A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT CAUSED OR CONTRIBUTED TO THE INCIDENT. HARD TO BELIEVE THAT A FRONT TIRE BLOWS AND SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AT 15 MPH. JEEP IS SUPPOSED TO BE A RUGGED OFF-ROAD VEHICLE. *TR

IT STARTED A WITH WHEN I GOT OUT OF JEEP AND PUSH BUTTON TO LOCK THE VEHICLE IT WOULDN'T LOCK AND THE HORN WOULD NOT BEEP LIKE IT DOES WHEN IT LOCKS SO I HAD TO LOCK IT MANUALLY. WHEN I GOT OUT OF STORE AND GOT BACK INTO JEEP IT WORKED AND IT ONLY HAPPENS AFTER THE CAR HAS WARMED UP IS WHAT IT SEEMS LIKE, THEN I WAS PULLING INTO A TURNING LANE AND SLOWING DOWN AND HEARD A HORN BEEP LOUD JUST TO REALIZE THAT IT WAS MY JEEP THAT BEEPED AND I NEVER PRESSED THE HORN AT ALL. THEN TODAY I GET INTO CAR AND SIT IN SEAT AND USE THE POWER SEAT BUTTON TO ADJUST THE DRIVER SEAT AND DIDN'T EVEN TOUCH THE STEERING WHEEL AND DIDN'T PUT THE KEY IN IGNITION EITHER AND MY FLASHERS STARTED FLASHING BUT, THEN CUT RIGHT OFF. WHEN I GOT WHERE I WAS GOING AND PARKED MY JEEP IT HAPPENED AGAIN THE FLASHERS STARTED TO FLASH AND THEN STOPPED. WHEN I WALKED UP TO THE JEEP WITHOUT PRESSING ANY BUTTONS MY CAR UNLOCKED ON ITS OWN AND THE LIGHTS CAME ON. SOMETIMES MY RADIO TAKES ABOUT 10 SECONDS OR SO BEFORE IT STARTS TO WORK. WINDSHIELD WIPER DOESN'T WANT TO BLOW OUT ANY FLUID SAYS IT NEEDS A MOTOR. HAVE A SLIDER ROOF AND NOTICED THAT IT HAS LEAKED PREVIOUSLY CAUSE I CAN SEE RAIN MARKS AROUND THE EDGES OF THE SLIDER AND WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I CAN HEAR WIND FROM COMING THE ROOF SO ITS NOT SEALING LIKE IT SHOULD. I CAN HAVE THE HEAT ON BUT, LATER IN THE DAY WHEN IT GETS HOT I WILL TURN ON THE AC AND THE AC DOESN'T WANT TO BLOW OUT COLD AIR AND I FIDDLE WITH THE SWITCHES FOR A BIT, I CAN FINALLY GET IT TO COME ON. I JUST BOUGHT IT LAST JANUARY SO I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD IT A YEAR YET AND ALWAYS TAKE IT IN FOR SERVICING PLEASE HELP ME I HAVE SEEN RECALLS FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME JEEP BUT, YOUR SITE TELLS ME NO OPEN RECALLS SO HOW DO I KNOW IF MINE HAS BEEN REPAIRED? *TR

Apr 3, 2013

Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2007-2008 Dodge Nitro 4X2 vehicles manufactured March 21, 2006, through March 1, 2008; and 2008 Jeep Liberty 4X2 vehicles manufactured February 15, 2007, through March 1, 2008. The transfer case heat shield may drop down and rub on the drive shaft, weakening it and potentially causing the drive shaft to break.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: If the drive shaft breaks, a section of it can strike the transfer case tunnel with enough force that the airbag computer will believe the vehicle is in a crash and thus deploy the airbags. Additionally, the drive shaft failure will result in a loss of motive power. Either condition may increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will add a bracket to support the rear of the heat shield, free of charge. An interim letter was mailed to owners on May 29, 2013. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-247-9753. Chrysler's recall campaign number is N10.

DP14004 · Totally Integrated Power Module Failure

Opened Sep 25, 2014 · Closed Jul 24, 2015

Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Electrical System

In a letter dated August 21, 2014, the Center for Auto Safety (CAS) petitioned the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to initiate a defect investigation of alleged failures associated with the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) installed in Chrysler SUV?s, trucks, and vans beginning in the 2007 model year. The petitioner alleges that TIPM defects may result in engine stall, airbag non-deployment, failure of fuel pump shutoff resulting in unintended acceleration, fire, and other symptoms. On September 25, 2014, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened DP14-004 to evaluate the petition for a grant or deny decision. ODI analyzed complaint data provided by CAS as well as complaints submitted to ODI from consumers. In total, there were 296 complaints submitted by the petitioner in the original petition and five supplements, including 271 complaints related to the subject vehicles equipped with TIPM-7. Approximately 3 percent of CAS complaints are related to vehicles equipped with TIPM-6 and ODI?s review of these complaints did not identify any safety defect trends. ODI conducted a detailed review of complaints narratives submitted by CAS and consumers including careful analysis of vehicle repair histories, warranty claims obtained from the manufacturer and any available Customer Assistance Inquiry reports (CAIR). Analysis of the field data indicated that MY2011-2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango vehicles exhibited significantly higher complaint rates related to fuel pump relay (FPR) failures than other subject vehicles. In a September 3, 2014 letter to NHTSA, Chrysler submitted a Defect Information Report (DIR) identifying a defect in the FPR within the TIPM-7 which can result in a no start or stall condition in approximately 188,723 model year (MY) 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee (WK) and Dodge Durango (WD) vehicles manufactured from January 5, 2010 through July 20, 2011 (14V-530).In a February 24, 2015 letter, Chrysler submitted a second DIR expanding the scope of the FPR defect condition to include an additional 338,216 MY 2012 through 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured from September 17, 2010 through August 19, 2013 and MY 2012 through 2013 Dodge Durango vehicles manufactured from January 18, 2011 through August 19, 2013 (15V-115).ODI analysis of the CAS allegations of TIPM defects resulting in stall while driving, airbag non-deployment, unintended acceleration, fire and other faults identified a single defect condition related to 1 of over 60 different circuits in the TIPM assembly. The most common effect of this defect condition, related to the fuel pump relay, was a no-start concern, but it could also result in stall while driving (76 complaints). No valid evidence was presented in support of claims related to airbag non-deployment, unintended acceleration or fire resulting from TIPM faults and these claims were found to be wholly without merit based on review of the field data and design of the relevant systems and components.Except insofar as the petitioner's contentions relate to the defect condition addressed by the Chrysler recalls, the factual bases of the petitioner's contentions that any further investigation is necessary are unsupported. In our view, additional investigation is unlikely to result in a finding that a defect related to motor vehicle safety exists or a NHTSA order for the notification and remedy of a safety-related defect as alleged by the petitioner at the conclusion of the requested investigation. Therefore, in view of the need to allocate and prioritize NHTSA's limited resources to best accomplish the agency's safety mission, the petition is den
