Known issues on the 2002 Liberty. Five recalls are on federal record for this model year: a fuel-tank leak that can cause a fire in the presence of an ignition source, a loss of brake fluid that lowers brake line pressure and increases stopping distance, a lower control-arm ball joint that can separate from the knuckle and cause a loss of directional control, a front control-arm ball joint failure that can cause a loss of steering, and decreased exterior lighting visibility (crash risk). Owners have filed 2,328 complaints and Jeep has issued 71 technical service bulletins for the year.
From a routine service interval to a hard-to-trace wiring fault, it keeps you on the correct OEM procedure and specification for your specific 2002 Liberty.
