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. …

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 never seen brake rotors so rusted in my 65 years.

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.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 Jeep Liberty. While driving at an unknown speed, the contact experienced suspension failure with the vehicle. The contact received recall notices for NHTSA campaign numbers: 15V222000 (power train) and 18V278000 (suspension). In addition, the traction control warning indicator illuminated. The contact scheduled an appointment with greenway Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram (9051 e colonial dr, orlando, fl 32817). The manufacturer was not notified. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 109,000.

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

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

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!

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.

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
