What stands out
No new NHTSA brakes complaint has been filed on this vehicle in over 16 years — the issue may be aging out of the active population.
Is there a fix? Manufacturer service bulletins
The manufacturer has issued service bulletins covering brakes on this vehicle — documented repair instructions, service campaigns, or warranty extensions sent to dealers. A TSB isn't a recall (it's not a free safety remedy), but it's the manufacturer acknowledging the issue and how to fix it.

The failure pattern owners describe
Owners of the 2007 Jeep Liberty report a pattern of brake system issues ranging from warning light failures to complete brake loss. The most common complaint involves the ABS control module—the warning light illuminates randomly or persistently, sometimes alongside traction control and stability control warnings. Many owners discovered that Jeep issued Recall Campaign #06V493000 for this exact problem, but their vehicle VINs were excluded from coverage despite identical symptoms, leaving them unable to access the manufacturer's remedy (ABS module reprogramming or replacement).
The most serious failures involve complete loss of braking. Several owners report the brake pedal going to the floor with no resistance, preventing the vehicle from stopping. In one case, a brake failure at 9,000 miles resulted in a collision. Dealerships have replaced master cylinders, ABS sensors, ABS motors, and brake lines—sometimes multiple components—without resolving the pedal failure. One owner's vehicle spent two weeks at a Dodge dealership with no diagnosis.
Additional complaints include premature rotor rust and wear at under 20,000 miles and repeated rear brake and emergency brake failures requiring replacements every 6–7 months. Chrysler's warranty covers rotors only for one year or 12,000 miles, leaving owners responsible for failures shortly after warranty expiration. Owners report the manufacturer has refused warranty assistance and stated their VINs do not qualify for recall coverage.

Failure modes owners describe
ABS control module malfunction and false warning lights
ABS warning light illuminates randomly or persistently; some owners report multiple warning lights (ABS, traction control, skid control, stability control) activating simultaneously. Owners allege the module was defective from the factory or prone to failure. Multiple owners cite NHTSA Recall Campaign #06V493000 as relevant but claim their VINs were excluded despite having identical symptoms.
When: Varies; some at low mileage (9,000 miles), others at higher mileage (42,600 to 128,000 miles)
Symptoms owners cite: ABS warning light illuminates on instrument panel; Multiple warning lights activate together (ABS, traction control, skid control, electronic stability program); Illumination occurs randomly while driving; Illumination occurs after starting the vehicle
Codes mentioned: ABS system fault, ABS module malfunction
Repairs/costs cited: ABS control module replacement with associated wiring replacement reported in one case but did not resolve the issue. ECU reprogramming recommended by Jeep technical service. One owner reported mechanic cost of module/wiring replacement out-of-pocket. Multiple owners were charged for diagnosis with no resolution.
Recalls/TSBs owners mention: NHTSA Recall Campaign #06V493000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC: ANTI-LOCK: CONTROL UNIT/MODULE) exists for certain VINs; manufacturer stated some complainant VINs were excluded from recall despite matching failure symptoms. Manufacturer told owners VINs did not qualify. Reprogramming remedy assigned to Campaign #06V493000 but not available to owners outside recall eligibility.
Complete brake system failure—pedal loss and inability to stop
Brake pedal goes completely to the floor with no resistance; vehicle fails to decelerate or stop despite brake application. Owners report near-crashes and one confirmed collision. In several cases, dealership inspection found no root cause even after extensive parts replacement. One owner experienced failure at low mileage (9,000 miles) on a vehicle less than 2 years old.
When: Occurs within first 2 years of ownership; one failure at 9,000 miles; another at 170,000 miles; one at 42,600 miles
Symptoms owners cite: Brake pedal goes all the way to the floor; No brake response when pedal is depressed; Vehicle does not decelerate or stop; Pedal soft and requires pumping to gain brake pressure; Sensation that vehicle is accelerating despite brake application; Failure occurs intermittently
Repairs/costs cited: Master cylinder replacement performed in multiple cases but did not resolve the issue. Dealership replaced master cylinder, ABS sensor, ABS motor, brake lines (front and rear), inspected calipers and pads—all found serviceable—yet brake pedal failure persisted. One dealership called Jeep technical service and had no resolution after 2 weeks of work. No repairs completed in most cases.
Recalls/TSBs owners mention: Manufacturer stated VINs were not included in Recall Campaign #06V493000 despite brake failure reports. Dealerships stated vehicles met Daimler Chrysler standards even with failed brakes. No recall or warranty remedy offered to complainants.
Premature rotor rust and wear
Rotors rust and deteriorate prematurely, requiring replacement well before normal service life. One owner reported rotors nearly fell out of vehicle at 19,000 miles on a 2-year-old vehicle. Rotors replaced along with entire brake assembly despite limited wear. Chrysler warranty covers rotors only 1 year or 12,000 miles, leaving owners liable for replacement shortly after warranty expiration.
When: At 19,000 miles (nearly new vehicle); rotors fail within 1–2 years of ownership
Symptoms owners cite: Rotors completely rusted; Rotors corroded and failing mechanically; Difficulty stopping vehicle
Repairs/costs cited: Complete brake and rotor replacement reported at cost of $1,200. Owner paid out-of-pocket; repair not covered under warranty. Rotors lasted only 1 year or 12,000 miles despite manufacturer warranty, leaving owner with repeated brake service expenses.
Recalls/TSBs owners mention: Chrysler refused warranty coverage for rotor failure beyond 1 year or 12,000 miles. Owner stated Chrysler offered no assistance and characterized response as 'sorry about your luck.'
Rear brake and emergency brake repeated failure
Rear brakes wear out and require replacement multiple times over vehicle ownership. Emergency brake fails repeatedly even with minimal use. Owner reports 6–7 rear brake replacements and emergency brake replacement cycle of approximately 7 months despite not using the emergency brake.
When: Throughout vehicle ownership; emergency brake failure recurs every 6–7 months
Symptoms owners cite: Rear brakes wear prematurely; Emergency brake fails repeatedly; Emergency brake wears out despite minimal use; Rotor replacement needed multiple times
Repairs/costs cited: Rear brake pads and rotors replaced 6–7 times since ownership. Emergency brake replaced once with need for replacement again within 7 months. Owner anticipates ongoing brake service as recurring expense.
Brake lockup—ABS brakes lock without braking input
Brakes lock up while vehicle is in motion even without hard braking. Owner states ABS module needs reprogramming and mechanic confirmed the lockup risk without update. ABS light illuminates. Owner was told vehicle is unsafe to drive.
When: During normal driving
Symptoms owners cite: Brakes lock up unexpectedly; ABS light illuminates; Vehicle unsafe to operate without reprogramming
Codes mentioned: ABS malfunction
Repairs/costs cited: ABS module reprogramming needed; available only from Chrysler. Repair included in a recall but not applicable to owner's VIN.
Recalls/TSBs owners mention: Repair is included in a recall (unspecified campaign number) but owner's VIN is excluded from coverage.
