What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owned a 2003 jeep liberty. While driving approximately 30 MPH in rain, sleet, and snow, the vehicle suddenly accelerated to approximately 70 MPH. The contact attempted to depress the brake pedal, but the vehicle did not stop. The vehicle slid across the interstate and crashed into the divider in the middle of the road. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed and deemed totaled. The contact sustained injuries to the mouth area, back, and legs.
Bought the 2003 jeep liberty brand new in may, 2003. Now a year and seven months later, we still have squealing brakes. The dealer in wichita has replaced the pads 2 or 3 times, and re-surfaced the pads once or twice. They've now decided that they will need to replace the back brakes, including the roters. These parts have been ordered, and we are waiting to have this work done. Additionally, the automatic transmission started downshifting hard from 3rd gear to second gear, and down to first gear.
