Summary

Hello, my name is Jamie Woodley. I'm filing this complaint on my 2006 Jeep Liberty Sport. Currently, there's a recall for the Suspension Rear lower control arms. I've read the previous recalls on it, which I saw this vehicle has been reprogrammed before. I've only had the vehicle for a few months and I've had an oil leak, bad thermostat, and the transmission is busted. I can't reverse or drive over 10 mph. I heard the transmission may be in Fail Safe mode. I had Midas do a full inspection, but they failed to acknowledge the lower control arms by suggesting brakes. I knew it wasn't the brakes. The technician drove the vehicle after the brakes were done, but I still heard/felt a problem with the Suspension. There is a recall for that from 2018. I purchased the vehicle last year in March 2020. Also, the rear lift gate was dented when I bought it like the vehicle may have been in an accident. This was a vehicle I purchased for my 2 kids and I. This vehicle has been giving me problems since I bought it. The back driver's side window won't go all the way up. I have to keep a stick in between just to keep the window from falling all the way in the door. Definitely not a safe vehicle. My Engine stalled out on the free way while I was on my way to pick up my kids. After my oil change, no oil light came on. I am seeking help with any buy back programs or a valued trade in appraisal. I have a quote from Conrad's on how much it's going to cost to fix it and the price is over $3,000. I have extended warranty, but am unsure if it will cover any service requests. That is pretty outrageous that it's going to cost that much to fix it. I've been at Take 5 to keep up on the maintenance and was told I had an oil leak somewhere. On top of the brakes, I've spent money on 4 new tires, 6 ignition coils, an O2 Sensor, and I bought a New PCM/ECU computer I have yet to have installed. Feel free to contact me at the information I've provided. I'd be truly grateful for any assistance. Thanks!

Summary

My back rear control arms/suspension/alignment were recalled, I had them replaced. Now My front control arms/suspension/alignment are very unsafe to drive. Wobbly, unstable, loose, noises, screeching. It Feels like it’s going to break/snap/fall off. Yes my vehicle is available for inspection. I feel unsafe on turns especially. It could snap at any moment and my Jeep could roll injuring me or others. I had a tire/allignment center check the status. No warning lights or messages. The sound and issue has been going on since I got my jeep recall fixed. The dealership hit the front of my Jeep in the parking lot and still has not taken responsibility for their actions and damages done to my Jeep. It was evaluated from Jeep’s body/auto shop estimating at outer damage 1,500$ + and they have not inspected the damage caused to the control arm/suspension/alignment from the employee hitting me Jeep into something moments before returning my Jeep from a recall-fix. Jeeo still has yet to take responsibility for the damages caused. I have not felt safe since then. The steering has been wobbly, the turns make noise and shudder like the wheel is going to break off/fall off or worse snap. I have tried numerous attempts to get these issues resolved with Jeep Liberty of San Diego Camino del rio s. With no responsibility taken from them for the damages they have caused making me Jeep unsafe to drive.

Summary

IN DECEMBER 2020, I STOPPED AT THE POST OFFICE TO DROP A LETTER IN THE OUTDOOR BOX. I ROLLED DOWN MY WINDOW, DEPOSITED THE LETTER, AND DROVE OFF. AS I WAS RAISING MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW, I HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND MY WINDOW DROPPED INTO THE CAR DOOR. IT WAS ANOTHER BROKEN WINDOW REGULATOR. IT WAS 30 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND I HAD OTHER ERRANDS TO RUN. I HAD TO DRIVE AROUND THE CITY WITH MY WINDOW HALF-WAY DOWN IN THE FREEZING WEATHER. JEEP HAD A RECALL IN 2010 STATING "WE ARE EXTENDING THE WARRANTY PERIOD FOR WINDOW LIFT PLATE REPAIRS BECAUSE SOME VEHICLES HAVE EXPERIENCED REPEAT CONCERNS WITH WINDOW COMPONENTS. IF YOU HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED THIS WINDOW REGULATOR CONCERN AND HAVE PAID TO HAVE IT REPAIRED, YOU MAY BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE REIMBURSEMENT." WHEN I WAS NOTIFIED ABOUT THE RECALL, I SUBMITTED RECEIPTS FOR THE THREE INCIDENTS I HAD WITH BROKEN WINDOW REGULATORS THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. CHRYSLER REIMBURSED ME MY FULL OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES OF $708.28 ON JANUARY 24, 2011. NOW I NEED THEM TO PAY ME $461.50 FOR THE WINDOW REGULATOR THAT WAS REPLACED ON APRIL 14, 2021. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM, AND MOST OF ALL, A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE DISTRACTION IT CAUSES TO A DRIVER. I RECENTLY READ THE FOLLOWING: DISTRACTED DRIVING IS A DEADLY PROBLEM'IT LED TO 3,142 DEATHS IN 2019, ACCORDING TO THE MOST RECENT STATISTICS FROM THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION (NHTSA). CHRYSLER SHOULD EXTEND THE WINDOW REGULATOR RECALL ON JEEPS AND REIMBURSE ME $461.50 BECAUSE THIS IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD. WHAT IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH AND MY SIX POUND BABY WAS IN HIS CAR SEAT IN THE BACK SEAT, AND HIS WINDOW FELL IN DUE TO A BAD REGULATOR? THAT WOULD BE A MAJOR DISTRACTION TO ME AND A DEFINITE SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY BABY. THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT A PARTS PROBLEM. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.

I'VE HAD LOWER BALL JOINTS, BUSHING AND CONTROL ARMS ALREADY REPLACED ONCE IN 2017 AND NOW THEY ARE OUT AGAIN. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY MOPAR THAT MY 2006 LIBERTY WAS MADE 5 WEEKS AFTER THE LAST ONE INVOLVED IN THE RECALL.THIS IS INEXCUSABLE. I'VE HAD 3 WINDOW REGULATORS REPLACED. THIS IS A FATALITY WAITING TO HAPPEN IF I DRIVE. I STARTED HEARING AND FEELING THE BALL JOINTS GOING BAD ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO. I HARDLY HAVE DRIVEN IT SINCE I WORK FROM HOME NOW. CAN CHRYSLER SEE ALL THESE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE BALL JOINTS AND STILL NOT ADD THESE 06 JEEP'S TO THAT RECALL. THIS IS NOT GOOD BUSINESS AT ALL. ALSO JUST HAD FRONT BRAKES DONE 1 YEAR AGO AND THEY NEED REPLACED ALREADY. IGNITION - MY KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION UNLESS I PUSH ON THE IGNITION CABLE. PLEASE HELP ME TO GET THESE PROBLEMS FIXED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FROM CHRYSLER.

Summary

YESTERDAY MY ABS AND ESB LIGHTS CAME ON. I DID NOTICE A BIT OF GRINDING TYPE NOISE APPROXIMATELY TWICE IN A FULL DAY OF DRIVING. TODAY, SAME THING, BUT LIGHTS WENT OFF A COUPLE OF TIMES RIGHT AFTER START UP. MY BRAKES AND TIRES WERE REPLACED IN LATE AUGUST. THE REPAIR SHOP SAID MY BRAKES WERE IN GOOD ORDER BUT THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR IS BAD. IF THIS DOESN'T CORRECT ISSUE, A WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND RESET THE STEERING ANGLE IS RECOMMENDED. NONE OF THESE ISSUES WOULD WARRANT THE ODD GRINDING NOISE WHEN BREAKING AND ONLY OCCASSIONALLY DOES THIS HAPPEN AND IT DID NOT OCCUR WHEN THE TECHNICIAN DROVE IT. THIS WAS ALL ON CITY STREETS AND DRIVING STRAIGHT IN GOOD WEATHER. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH INDICATES THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY OWNERS OF THE 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. MANY PEOPLE HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKES, SENSORS, ROTORS AND ALL THINGS BRAKES BUT STILL EXPERIENCE THE LIGHTS AND THE NOISE. OFTEN, THERE IS REFERENCE MADE TO THE CLOCK SPRING. SINCE I SAW SO MANY COMPLAINTS AND MY REPAIRMAN WAS SO VAGUE THAT HIS RECOMMENDATIONS WOULD ACTUALLY SOLVE THE ISSUE, I FELT IT IS WORTHY OF INVESTIGATING.

ON FRIDAY, 02/15/19, TRAVELING BACK FROM AUSTIN TO HOUSTON, TX, WITH MY 4 YEAR OLD SON FOR MY WEEKEND VISITATION, I HAD STOPPED AT THE ENTRANCE TO MY APT COMPLEX AND WAS WAITING FOR THE ACCESS GATE TO OPEN TO ENTER. TURNING RIGHT AND ELEVATING SLIGHTLY TO ENTER MY COMPLEX, I HEARD A LOUD GRINDING NOISE AND FELT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF MY VEHICLE LOWER. I THOUGHT I HAD MANAGED TO RUN OVER THE CURB ALONG THE PUBLIC STREET AND TRIED TO REVERSE WHEN THE SAME LOUD GRINDING NOISE COULD BE HEARD. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED, PLACED THE CAR IN PARK, AND THEN GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO INSPECT. I COULD SEE THAT THE WHEEL WAS FOLDED INWARD TOWARDS THE VEHICLE. LOOKING UNDER THE CAR I COULD ALSO SEE THE LOWER CONTROL ARM NOW RESTING ON THE GROUND ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I HAD ZERO IDEA WHAT COULD'VE CAUSED THIS BUT WAS EXTREMELY THANKFUL IT HAD NOT OCCURRED WHILE I WAS TRAVELING IN EXCESS OF 80 MPH ON THE HWY WITH MY SON IN THE BACK SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL ON THE STREET IN FRONT OF THE BACK ENTRANCE TO MY APT COMPLEX AND A PASSERBY STOPPED TO SEE IF HE COULD HELP. HE RECOGNIZED THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM AND TOLD ME THAT MY PASSENGER WHEEL HAD SEPARATED FROM THE BALL JOINT. HE MENTIONED THAT HE HAD SEEN THIS HAPPEN TO NUMBER OF OTHER VEHICLES. A LOCAL HARRIS COUNTY SHERIFF OFFICER ARRIVED ON THE SCENE AND I CALLED MY STATE FARM INSURANCE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO HAVE MY VEHICLE TOWED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A NEARBY A NEARBY DEALERSHIP, AUTONATION JEEP/CHRYSLER. ON MONDAY, 02/18/19, I STOPPED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE WHEEL SEPARATION HAD CAUSED DAMAGE TO A NUMBER OF COMPONENTS. I BEGAN RESEARCHING ON-LINE AND FOUND OUT THAT A PREVIOUS NHTSA CAMPAIGN HAD BEEN OPENED IN 2006 THAT CENTERED AROUND THE EXACT PROBLEM MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCED; NHTSA CAMPAIGN#: 06V288000, DAIMLER/CHRYSLER RECALL#.

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.

Summary

HAVE ALREADY FILED A COMPLAINT. UPDATING INFORMATION. COMPLAINT #11105312. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED 9 DAYS AFTER THE CUTOFF FOR THE 2006 RECALL # 06V288000. MY VEHICLE HAD THE FAILURE OF THE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM BALL JOINT. IT WAS NOT ART OF THE 2006 RECALL HOWEVER, IT IS PART OF THE CURRENT RECALL FOR THE REAR LOWER CONTROL ARM BALL JOINTS. THE ORIGINAL CUTOFF BUILD DATE WAS MARCH 15, 2006. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED JUST 9 DAYS LATER ON MARCH 24, 2006. IT SEEMS FAR TOO MUCH A COINCIDENCE THAT MY VEHICLE HAS THE SAME REAR BALL JOINTS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO RECALL AND REPLACEMENT, WHICH CHRYSLER HAS DONE, BUT THE FRONT BALL JOINTS WERE NOT COVERED IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL. I WAS GOING 35MPH WHEN THE PART FAILED. THE FAILURE CAME WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND WAS INSTANTANEOUS. THE BALL JOINT BROKE AND INSTANTLY PIERCED THE ALLOY RIM AND DEFLATED THE TIRE. HAD I BEEN GOING 70MPH, I WOULD HAVE FLIPPED AND ROLLED INSTANTLY. FURTHERING THE ISSUE IS AS BEST I CAN DETERMINE, THE FRONT AND REAR BALL JOINTS ARE THE SAME PART. I AM REPORTING THAT SINCE MY INITIAL COMPLAINT, I FOUND OUT MY VEHICLE WAS BUILT A MERE 9 DAYS AFTER THE ORIGINAL RECALL CUTOFF DATE.

I HAD A DIAGNOSIS TEST DONE AND IT DIDN'T SHOW ANY PROBLEMS, BUT IT'S STILL SHUTTING DOWN AND I DON'T KNOW WHY. THE MECHANIC SAID IT IS PROBABLY SOMETHING ELECTRICAL OR HAS TO DO WITH THE COMPUTER.

Summary

THERE IS A WHITE POWDER LIKE SUBSTANCE THAT COMES OUT OF THE AIR VENTS AND HAS AN OILY TEXTURE AND AN OVERPOWERING SMELL. IT CLOUDS THE WINDSHIELD AND OBSTRUCTS MY VISION. I CANNOT DRIVE IT DUE TO THE CLOUDING AND SMELL. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I AM DRIVING ANYWHERE, TURNING, OR STATIONARY. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN AS I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT IN THE CAR. I CAN'T HAVE IT REPAIRED AS I CANNOT AFFORD IT. I HAVE A NICE VEHICLE, BUT CANNOT DRIVE IT IN THIS CONDITION. SO THE CAUSE IS UNKNOWN.

WE ALL OWN CARS. MY CAR HAS THIS PROBLEM WHERE THE POWER WINDOWS SUDDENLY STOP WORKING. IN OTHER WORDS, I CAN LOWER MY WINDOW AND HAVE IT SUDDENLY DECIDE TO NOT COME BACK UP, LEAVING ME WITH A VEHICLE SUBJECT TO ALL KINDS OF THEFT. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED THIRTEEN TIMES NOW ON MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY AND CHRYSLER EXPECTS ME TO PAY $475 FOR EACH REPAIR. I WANT CHRYLSER TO PROVIDE THIS SERVICE FOR ME FREE OF CHARGE, ONLY BECAUSE THEY DID THE FIRST TWELVE TIMES. WITHOUT THIS SUPPORT, I AM IN A POSITION WHERE I CANNOT KEEP MY CAR AND CANNOT AFFORD A NEW ONE. DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO LOWER YOUR CAR WINDOW AND HAVE IT SUDDENLY NOT COME BACK UP? ESPECIALLY IN THE COLD OF WINTER? THE CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER GAVE ME EVERY EXCUSE THEY COULD FIND TO NOT HELP ME OUT. AND THEY ALSO TOLD ME I WAS BEING PRETENTIOUS. HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF THIS WAS HOW A CAR MANUFACTURER TREATED YOU? I COME FROM A FAMILY OF JEEP OWNERS AND CHRYSLER (THE MOTHER COMPANY) WOULD RATHER LOSE MY BUSINESS AND PERMIT ME TO TALK NEGATIVELY ABOUT THEM THEN STOP TO HELP ME. THEY EVEN ENCOURAGED ME TO HIT THE NET AND START SUBMITTING REVIEWS. THIS IS SORT OF CALLOUS NEGLIGENCE IS NOT WHAT ANY KIND OF CONSUMER SHOULD ENDURE. AT THIS POINT, WHAT REASON DO I HAVE TO PERFORM THE SERVICE? WHAT REASON DO I HAVE TO KEEP MY CAR? WHAT REASON DO I HAVE TO EVER SHOP WITH THEIR BRAND AGAIN?

RH LOWER BALL JOINT BROKE TODAY. CAR IS IMMOBILE. THIS BALL JOINT WAS REPLACED ONE YEAR AGO, WHEN IT FIRST FAILED. THE LH ONE ALSO BROKE 6 MONTHS AGO. ALL 3 FAILURES WHERE IN PARKING LOTS. MY LIBERTY'S VIN IS NOT IN THE RECALL RANGE. JEEP REFUSES TO TALK TO ME. THEIR EXPLANATION ABOUT WATER ANT CORROSION IS NOT TECHNICALLY VALID. I AM AN AEROSPACE ENGINEER AND DEAL WITH THIS SORT OF THING ALL THE TIME. THE CAUSE IS CYCLIC LOADING OF THE TAPERED PIN, HIGH TENSION LOAD AND A STRESS RISER AT THE THREAD. REPLACING THE BALL JOINT ONLY PROVIDES MORE FAILURE OPPORTUNITIES. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE NUMBER OF DEATHS AND INJURIES THIS HAS CAUSED. *TR

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. A CO WORKER TOLD ME MY TAIL LIGHT WAS OUT AND THE NEXT DAY I LOOKED AT IT AND TRIED TO REPLACE THE BULB BUT THE BULB WAS MELTED AND BROKEN INSIDE THE LENS. THE BULB WAS MELTED TO A PIECE OF PLASTIC INSIDE...TO SOME TYPE OF FIN. THIS IS THE DRIVER SIDE TAIL LIGHT. I ALSO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY EARLIER THIS YEAR. I REPLACED THE BULB 3 TIMES BEFORE I FIGURED OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. NOW THE SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURED WITH THE DRIVER SIDE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY. THE BULB MELTED TO THAT FIN INSIDE THE ASSEMBLY AND COULD NOT BE REMOVED TO REPLACE THE BULB. I HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY AGAIN, WHICH IS VERY EXPENSIVE AT $130 EACH PLUS THE BULBS. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE...OR A WRECK SINCE MY BRAKE LIGHTS DID NOT WORK UNTIL THIS TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY WAS SPECIAL ORDERED AND RELACED, WHICH TOOK A COUPLE OF DAYS TO RECEIVE. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS LIKE A DEFECT.

COST FOR THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLE IS APPROXIMATELY $480 PLUS LABOR. IF THE PROBLEM IS SO APPARENT THAT IT CAN BE FOUND THOUSANDS OF TIMES USING GOOGLE, AND IF THE MANUFACTURER HAS SINCE REDESIGNED THE ENTIRE SHIFTER CONTROL SYSTEM; THEN ONE WOULD THINK THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE ISSUED A RECALL.

ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH TO 70 MPH, THE ENGINE OF THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY, WITHOUT WARNING, WITH THE LOSS OF ALL STEERING OR CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. ON TWO OTHER OCCASIONS, THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY, WITHOUT WARNING, WITH THE LOSS OF ANY STEERING OR CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE, AFTER EXITING THE HIGHWAY AND ENTERING CITY TRAFFIC. THAT IS A TOTAL OF FOUR ENGINE SHUT DOWNS OR STALLS WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. WE JUST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, AND THIS IS NERVE-WRECKING AND DANGEROUS TO SAY THE LEAST. THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN AFTER DRIVING LONG DISTANCES, AND HAS HAPPENED FROM DRIVING DISTANCES OF APPROXIMATELY 90 MILES TO 160 MILES. IF YOU WAIT APPROXIMATELY ONE HOUR, THE VEHICLE WILL THEN START UP AGAIN AND RUN. BUT IT WILL STALL AGAIN WITH COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. OTHERS ON THE INTERNET HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM WITH JEEP 3.7 AND 4.7 POWERTECH JEEP MOTORS. OUR JEEP IS A 3.7 MOTOR. THIS APPEARS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM AS JEEP EXPERIENCED WITH JEEP COMMANDER AND JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE MODELS, WHICH WERE RECALLED. THIS SITUATION CAN OBVIOUSLY BE LIFE THREATENING. CHRYSLER JEEP SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO PUT LIFE TREATING VEHICLES ON THE MARKET AND THESE JEEPS MUST BE RECALLED. WE ASK FOR YOUR HELP IN THIS MATTER BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED.

Summary

EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK (PARKED WITH ENGINE TURNED OFF), GAS SPEWS FROM THE FILLER TUBE, RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE CAR, POOLS ON THE GROUND AND UNDERNEATH THE CAR, CREATING AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. GAS CONTINUES TO SPEW OUT AND ALL OVER THE AREA UNTIL I DESPERATELY GRAB THE GAS PUMP NOZZLE HANDLE AND MANUALLY DISENGAGE IT! I NOW NEVER CAN DEPEND UPON AUTO SHUT-OFF!! I HAVE TO MANUALLY OPERATE THE PUMP NOZZLE, NOT TAKE MY HAND OFF IT, LISTEN TO THE GUSHING TONE SOUND AS THE TANK NEARS THE FULL POINT AND SHUT OFF THE NOZZLE BY HAND WHEN I HEAR THE GAS GETTING READY TO SPEW ALL OVER THE PLACE!! THIS IS SO DANGEROUS!!!!! OVER THE COURSE OF SEVERAL YEARS, I THOUGHT THIS PROBLEM WAS JUST UNIQUE TO MY CAR BUT AFTER TALKING WITH TWO OTHER JEEP LIBERTY OWNER ACQUAINTANCES, I DISCOVERED THEY HAD THE SAME DANGEROUS SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THEIR JEEP LIBERTY, AS WELL. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS.... IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED!!! ("WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN FIELD BELOW: JULY 2009 TO PRESENT")

Summary

I HAD TO ROLL DOWN THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW GLASS TO PAY PARKING FEE AND THEN THE WINDOW NEVER WENT UP. HAD TO DRIVE IN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE WINDOW WAS DOWN COMPLETELY. I HAD TO REPLACE THE WINDOW GLASS PRIOR 4 TIMES FOR THEIR LOW QUALITY LIFT PLATE ON WINDOW GLASS AND THIS TIME THE DEALER SAID IT IS NOT COVERED IN 7 YRS EXTENDED WARRANTY AND ASKED TO PAY $500 TO FIX THE REGULATOR. THE DEALER FIXED THIS LIFT PLATE ISSUE PRIOR UNDER 7 YRS EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH LOW QUALITY MATERIAL AND SO THIS ISSUE REOCCURED BUT THIS TIME AS THEY FOUND WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED THEY ASKED TO PAY $500 FOR REGULATOR THIS TIME SAYING IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY OR 7 YRS EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED. JEEP NEEDS TO PAY MY $500 BACK FOR THE REGULATOR BECAUSE I THINK THEY ARE RIPPING MY MONEY OFF BECAUSE OF THEIR FAULTY DESIGN.

Summary

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.

ORIGINAL OWNER DRIVES 5000 MILES PER YEAR, ERRANDS, STAY-AT-HOME MOM, PARKED IN GARAGE DURING VEHICLES LIFE. IN DEC 2014 TOOK TO DEALER FOR TIRE ROTATION AND BALANCE. WAS TOLD BALL JOINTS BAD ON BOTH FRONT WHEELS AND UPPER CONTROL ARMS NEEDED REPLACED @ 60,000 MILES. WHEN LIBERTY WAS BRAND NEW TOOK TO DEALER FOR RECALL F-22 AND WAS THERE MAYBE 30 MINS. WAS TOLD GOOD TO GO.... VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 65,000 AND HAVE RECEIVED SECOND OPINION FROM REPUTABLE MECHANIC WHO STATES THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS WORSE THAN PASSENGERS AND SHOULD BE REPLACED, THAT THIS IS EITHER A "FAILED RECALL" OR PREMATURE WEAR. WITH MY MILEAGE BEING SO LITE, THIS DEFECT WOULD HAVE INITIATED LONG BEFORE IT SHOULD HAVE. THE AVERAGE MILES A PERSON DRIVES IS 12000-15000 A YR WHICH WOULD HAVE PUT THIS DEFECT OCCURRING 3 YRS AFTER INITIALLY RECALLED. THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE FAULTY THEMSELVES OR JEEP ISN'T BEING HONEST ABOUT THE LIFE CYCLE OF THIS RECALL. I CANNOT BELIEVE A COMPANY WOULD ALLOW PEOPLE TO DRIVE VEHICLES WITH GAS TANKS READY TO EXPLODE AND BALL JOINTS ABOUT TO COME UNGLUED ANY MOMENT....

I COULD HAVE RETURNED THE OLD HITCH OR USED IT FOR MY OTHER VEHICLE BUT INSTEAD THEY REFUSED TO GIVE IT BACK TO ME AND WOULDN'T EVEN GIVE ME BACK THE SMALL RUBBER TOW HITCH COVER I HAD ON IT. SO NOW I'M OUT THE MONEY I PAID FOR THE ORIGINAL HITCH AND NOW CHRYSLER JEEP GETS AWAY WITH STEALING MY AFTERMARKET ADD-ONS. THIS IS CRIMINAL AND I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR WHAT THEY TOOK FROM ME.

HAD BOTH REAR WINDOWS AND THEIR REGULATORS REPLACED AT 24,612 MILES AS BOTH WINDOWS HAD FALLEN INTO THE DOORS. THE REPAIR WAS MADE UNDER GOODWILL AS THE VEHICLE WAS MORE THAN 3 YEARS OLD BUT UNDER 36,000 MILES. THE PROBLEM WITH THE REAR WINDOW APPEARED AGAIN BEFORE 49,000 MILES AND I MUST BEAR THE COST OF THE REPAIR, WHICH WILL BE WELL OVER $300. WE LIVE IN CONSTANT FEAR OF USING OUR POWER WINDOWS AS EVENTUALLY THEY WILL COLLAPSE INTO THE DOORS AGAIN FOR ANOTHER EXPENSIVE FIX AND MORE TIME WAITING FOR REPAIRS AT THE DEALERSHIP. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW AND STILL OWN IT. THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING WHEN THE WINDOW PROBLEM HAPPENED.

Summary

[XXX]: COMPLAINT ABOUT JEEP BACKING PLATES: 2006 JEEP LIBERTY VIN # [XXX].I AM WRITING ABOUT A SAFETY PROBLEM WE ENCOUNTERED OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS. ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS; 8-13 AND 9-3-15 I ALMOST DROVE OFF THE ROAD WHEN SUDDENLY MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE,LOUD, CLAMORING NOISE OCCURRED, WHICH MADE IT IMPERATIVE THAT I PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD/AWAIT ASSISTANCE. THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE BACKING PLATES HAD CORRODED AND RUSTED TO SUCH A SEVERE DEGREE THE CAR WAS INOPERABLE WITHOUT EXPENSIVE REPAIRS (557.97 EACH TIME).THE CLOSE TIMING OF THESE INCIDENTS SHOW THAT THE LIFESPAN OF THESE PARTS WERE NOT MADE TO LAST. JEEP DECLINED THE REQUEST TO REIMBURSE EXPENSES PAID, AND FAILED TO ADDRESS THE BIGGER SAFETY CONCERN. I WORRY SOMEONE WILL NOT BE AS LUCKY WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURS. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN A VEHICLE <10 YRS OLD USED SOLELY AS A PASSENGER VEHICLE, IS MADE OF SUCH POOR QUALITY PARTS THAT THEY LITERALLY RUST OFF THE VEHICLE WHILE IT IS IN TRANSIT. IN DOING RESEARCH ON THE EXTENT OF THESE BACKING PLATE ISSUES, I SEE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN A SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS FROM A QUALITY, FINANCIAL, AND SAFETY PERSPECTIVE, YET I SEE THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO RECTIFY THIS ISSUE. IT IS MY VIEW THAT I SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS QUALITY ISSUE BEFORE I ALMOST HAD ACCIDENTS TWICE WITHIN A 3 WEEK PERIOD. THIS MAKE AND MODEL HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT OF SEVERAL CONSUMER SAFETY RECALLS, I AM SURPRISED THAT THIS HAS BACKING PLATE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN BROUGHT TO ATTENTION OF OWNERS SO THAT IT COULD BE RESOLVED IN AN EXPEDITIOUS MANNER AT THE COST OF JEEP CORP. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT THEIR COMPANY WAS AWARE OF AND PARTS SHOULD NOT ?ROT? OFF QUALITY VEHICLES. JEEP RESPONDED ON 9-29-15 AND FAILED TO MENTION THE SAFETY ISSUE RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM. I ATTACHED THEIR LETTER VIA ATTACHED FILE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TODAY THE JEEP DEALER SAID THE FRAME RAIL WAS NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO INSTALL THE HITCH AS CALLED FOR IN THE RECALL. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER COMPLAINT LINE AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING CHRYSLER CAN DO. SO NOW I MUST DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE, HOW CAN I SELL IT, OR EVEN TRADE IT IN. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO NOW? I READ THAT VEHICLES LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD COULD BE PURCHASED BACK. THESE JEEPS WERE RECALLED FOR REAR SUSPENSION COMPONETS RUSTING UP SO NOW THAT THE FRAMES IS RUSTING I HAVE TO DRIVE A DEATH TRAP. I AM WONDERING HOW MANY TIMES CHRYSLER IS USING THESE EXCUSES IN ORDER TO NOT DO ANYTHING. ONE COULD EVEN THINK THIS RECALL WAS CRAFTED IN SUCH A WAY THAT CHRYSLER COULD GET OFF USING THESE EXCUSES WHAT ARE THE PEOPLE IN MY SITUATION SUPPOSED TO DO????

I ASKED WHAT I SHOULD DO DURING THE WAITING TIME AND SHE SAID TO TRY NOT TO GET HIT. I CALLED AGAIN THE BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER AND JENNIFER STATED THAT I SHOULD RECEIVE A PART OR CALL IN A FEW DAYS. IT IS NOW SEPTEMBER 14 AND I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT FIXING OR SETTING UP AN APPOINTMENT FOR FIXING THE JEEP. I HAVE THREE CHILDREN THAT RIDE IN MY JEEP, I DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE IT, ALL I CAN DO IS PRAY THAT I DO NOT GET HIT FROM BEHIND ONE DAY AND CAUSE THE GAS EXPLOSION THAT COULD OCCUR DO TO MANUFACTURING ISSUES.

Summary

ON SEPTEMBER 2, 2015 I BROUGHT MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY IN TO A DEALERSHIP, BENSON CHRYSLER, IN GREER SC FOR A REAR STRUCTURE REINFORCEMENT RECALL REPAIR. AFTER BEING LEFT AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 4.5 HOURS, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE RECALL REPAIR COULD NOT BE COMPLETED DUE TO A LARGE AMOUNT OF RUST ON THE BOLTS. I WAS TOLD BY THE MANAGER, BRAD THAT MORE THAN ONE TECHNICIAN LOOK AT THE CAR AND DETERMINED IT COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP IN DESPAIR WITH MAJOR CONCERN BECAUSE THE RECALL INVOLVES A CHANCE OF THE JEEP FUEL TANK LEAKING DURING A REAR END COLLISION WHICH COULD RESULT IN A FIRE. NOW AS A MOTHER AND WIFE I CANNOT IMAGINE CONTINUING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE KNOWING THE AT ANY GIVEN TIME I COULD LOSE MY CAR AND POSSIBLY THE LIFE OF ME AND MY FAMILY. PLEASE HELP ME BY ADDRESSING THE ISSUE OF HOW CHRYSLER PLAN TO HANDLE THIS RECALL. I STRONGLY FEEL IT SHOULD NOT BE IGNORED BY SUGGESTING ME TO CONTINUE DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT POSE SUCH A GREAT DANGER . YOUR ATTENTION IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. UPDATED 11/02/15.*JB

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. HAVING JUST RECENTLY HAD FCA'S GAS TANK SOLUTION CORRECTED, I HOPE A FIX FOR THIS WON'T TAKE AS LONG. I NEGLECTED TO SAY THIS WAS NOT A ONE-TIME EVENT IN AS MUCH AS IT HAPPENS NOW ON AN ALMOST DAILY BASIS.

THE PAIN ON THE OUTSIDE ROOF IS PEELING, I DO LIVE IN A STATE WHERE THE ROADS ARE SALTED HOWEVER, THERE IS NO SALT USED ON THE TOP OF THE VEHICLE, THIS, WHILE NOT A NEW VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE PEELING THE WAY IT IS. THE FRONT WINDSHIELD HAD A SEVERE CHIP & THE INSTALLER WAS BARELY ABLE TO SAND THIS AREA DOWN ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO SEAL THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH & THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ALONG WITH THE REAR WINDOW REGULATORS BOTH OF WHICH HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED. THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH THE EMERGENCY BREAK & THE JEEP DEALERSHIP GIVES ONE REASON FOR THE ABS, ESP AMONG OTHER WHEEL AND BREAKING ISSUES. AND NOW THE ONE THING THAT JEEP IS FINALLY SUPPOSED TO BE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT RATHER THAN ME HAVING TO PUT MORE MONEY INTO THIS VEHICLE FOR, THE GAS TANK RECALL SEEMS TO BE A RIDICULOUS FIX, AND I HAVE BEEN ON A WAITING LIST FOR THIS FOR MONTHS AND STILL HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET IT IN TO GET THIS FIXED. I SAW A NEWS STORY THAT SAID THAT CHRYSLER WAS BEING MANDATED TO FIX THESE VERY POORLY MADE VEHICLES. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE DOES NOT FALL INTO THE OTHER RECALLS WHEN IT HAS BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUES.

AFTER PUTTING MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE WINDOW DOWN COMPLETELY, IT WILL NOT GO BACK UP. THE MOTOR RUNS, IT MAKES A SOUND, BUT WINDOW DOES NOT MOVE. I WAS FORCED TO LEAVE MY CAR PARKED IN A MEDICAL CENTER PARKING GARAGE DURING MY WORK SHIFT 4:00PM TO 12:00AM. OF COURSE, IT WAS COMPLETELY UNSAFE FOR ME, A YOUNG FEMALE, TO RETURN TO MY OPEN CAR AND HAD TO BE ESCORTED BY A SECURITY OFFICER. I THEN DROVE THE 25 FREEWAY MILES HOME COMPLETELY EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS. HAVING GOOGLED THE MALFUNCTION, I LEARNED THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2006 JEEP LIBERTY AND IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. I AM ASTOUNDED TO ALSO LEARN THAT CHRYSLER DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS MECHANICAL FAILURE. AS A COLLEGE STUDENT, I AM NOT FINANCIALLY ABLE TO INCUR THIS EXPENSE, NOR DO I THINK I SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO, AND AM ASKING THAT CHRYSLER PERFORM REPAIRS ON ALL FOUR WINDOWS AT NOT COST TO ME. PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. *TR

Summary

OVER THE COURSE OF THE NINE YEARS I HAVE OWNED THIS LIBERTY, EACH OF THE 4 POWER WINDOWS HAVE FAILED MULTIPLE TIMES.THE WINDOWS SIMPLY FALL DOWN FREELY WITHOUT WARNING, AND CAN NOT BE PLACED BACK IN AN UPRIGHT, CLOSED POSITION. THIS HAS OCCURRED TWICE ON EACH FRONT WINDOW, AND ON EACH THE LEFT/REAR AND RIGHT REAR WINDOWS IT HAS HAPPENED THREE SEPARATE TIMES. THOUGH THIS IS AN ONGOING AND KNOWN SAFETY AND SECURITY ISSUE, THERE HAS BEEN NO SERVICE BULLETIN OR RECALL AS FAR AS I KNOW. CHRYSLER/JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE AND LOCAL DEALER ARE UNWILLING TO RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM OR COVER THE REPAIRS. JEEP QUOTES US OVER $600 FOR THE REPAIR BEFORE REDUCING THE ESTIMATES, DUE ONLY TO MY PERSISTENT COMPLAINTS. I UNDERSTAND THERE HAS BEEN A CLASS ACTION SUIT BROUGHT BY OTHERS ON THIS VERY ISSUE.

Summary

THE LOWER BALL JOINT BROKE CAUSING THE FRAME AND WHEEL TO SEPARATE. THE FRAME FELL ONTO THE TIRE. THE RIM WAS SLICED COMPLETELY IN HALF. AND THE BRAND NEW TIRE WAS BUSTED. IT CAUSED US TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE FEARED OF THE ROAD AND LANDED INA DITCH. WE HAD TO HAVE A TOW TRUCK PICK UP THE VEHICLE. IT COST US 300 DOLLARS TO HAVE THE VEHICLE BROUGHT HOME. AFTER GETTING HOME WE FOUND OUT THE PIECE THAT BROKE, THE LOWER BALL JOINT, WAS PART OF THE JEEP RECALL IN 2006. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY DID ADMIT THAT PART WAS A RECALL FIX IN 2006. WE ARE NOW WAITING ON CHRYSLER TO CALL US BACK TO LET US KNOW WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSE TO DO NEXT. WE ARE WITHOUT A VEHICLE.

Summary

I BOUGHT THIS USED VEHICLE 2 YEARS AGO. IT CURRENTLY HAS A RECALL ON THE GAS TANK. THE WAY THE DEALERSHIP "FIXES" THIS RECALL IS TO INSTALL A TRAILER HITCH, WHICH IS LAUGHABLE, AT BEST. THE TESTING AGENCIES HAVE PROVEN THAT A TRAILER HITCH IS ONLY MINIMALLY EFFECT UP TO 25 MPH AND NOT EFFECTIVE AT GREATER SPEEDS. I REQUESTED THE DEALERSHIP "WORK WITH ME" SO THAT I COULD BUY A SAFER VEHICLE FROM THEM. THEY ARE ONLY WILLING TO OFFER ME THE SAME TRADE-IN AMOUNT AS IF I WERE TRADING VEHICLE SOLELY BECAUSE I WANT A NEW VEHICLE. I WOULD KEEP THIS VEHICLE, IF IT WERE SAFE. I'VE CONTACTED METAL MANUFACTURING BUSINESSES AND REQUESTED THAT THEY BUILD ME A SAFE, STRONG GAS TANK AND BUMPER TO REPLACE THAT WHICH IS CURRENTLY IN THE VEHICLE. I AM WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE TO MAKE THIS VEHICLE SAFE. THE MANUFACTURING FACILITIES HAVE REFUSED TO BUILD ANY PARTS FOR ME BECAUSE THE LIABILITY, AFTER AN ACCIDENT, WOULD REVERT TO THEM RATHER THAN THE BURDEN BEING ON JEEP. I HAVE TOLD THE DEALERSHIP THAT I HAVE A SAFETY PROBLEM BUT THEY DON'T SEEM TO THINK I SHOULD GET ANY FINANCIAL CONSIDERATION WHEN TRADING IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT CAN NOT BE MADE SAFE EITHER BY ME OR BY JEEP. THEY WILL ONLY OFFER ME LESS THAN KELLY BLUE BOOK FOR TRADE IN AND HAVE TAKEN $1,000.00 OF THE RETAIL PRICE OF THE NEW VEHICLE. THIS IS INADEQUATE CONSIDERING THEY SOLD ME AN UNSAFE VEHICLE WHICH CAN NOT BE FIXED. THE DEALERSHIP IS DARLINGS; PO BOX 277; BREWER, MAINE 04412-0277. PHONE: 207-669-6570.

Summary

IN NOV 2014 AS I WAS DELIVERING MAIL IN MY RHD JEEP LIBERTY 06, MY HEAT WAS ON AND MY BLOWER FAN "BLEW UP", BLOWING BLACK SMOKE INTO THE JEEP FROM THE VENTS AND A BURNING SMELL CAME FROM THE DASH BOARD. I TOOK THE JEEP TO MY LOCAL GARAGE IN WHICH TIME THEY TORE THE DASH APART AND FOUND IT HAD IN FACT "BLEW UP". IT NOW ONLY RUNS ON ONE SPEED (HIGH). DURING THE NEXT FEW MONTHS (WINTER) EVERY TIME I RUN MY HEATER WITH THE FAN OR THE DEFROST MY DASH BOARD GOES HAYWIRE. MEANING GAUGES SHUT DOWN, ALL ALERT LIGHTS GO ON AND/OR FLASH AND ALL BEEPS, BUZZERS AND NOISES SOUND. IT CONTINUES UNTIL I TURN THE HEAT/DEFROST OFF. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE GARAGE ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS IN WHICH THEY RAN THE SCANNER WITH 7 CODES COMING UP. AFTER A FEW HOURS OF SITTING IT WOULD JUST RESET ITSELF AND CODES WOULD DISAPPEAR. EVERYTIME IT RAINS NOW THE DASH BOARD DOES THE SAME THING. I HAVE HAD 2 GARAGES AND SEVERAL DIFFERENT MECHANICS LOOK AT IT AND CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. ON APRIL 25 I CALLED CHRYSLER TO GET MY JEEP IN FOR THE N46 RECALL AND ASKED ABOUT THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION. I TOLD HER IT WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN THE JEEP LIBERTYS. HER RESPONSE TO ME WAS "IN THE LAST 25 YRS I'VE WORKED HERE, I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM." SO I SAID I'D LIKE IT LOOKED AT WHILE ITS THERE FOR THE RECALL ISSUE. HER RESPONSE AGAIN WAS " YOU NEED TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE GARAGE THAT LOOKED AT IT THE FIRST TIME, AND YOU DO KNOW THAT WE AUTOMATICALLY CHARGE $98 AN HOUR FOR DIAGNOSTIC CHECKS." I WAS LOOKING OVER MY PAPER SENT IN THE MAIL TO ME ABOUT THE N46 RECALL TODAY AND FOUND AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAPER IT READS............"ASK YOUR DEALER ABOUT THE FOLLOWING NOTIFICATION. OUR RECORDS INDICATE THAT YOUR VEHICLE ALSO REQUIRES REPAIR FOR NOTIFICATION G03" I GOOGLE SEARCHED JEEP LIBERTY 06 RECALL G03 AND FOUND.........THIS IS A BLOWER FAN ISSUE. AND CHRYSLER WON'T EVEN LOOK AT IT. *TR

Summary

MY WINDOWS FALL DOWN DUE TO A FAULTY WINDOW REGULATOR. EACH WINDOW HAS FALLEN AT LEAST ONCE. MY BACK PASSENGER JEEP WINDOW HAS BEEN FIXED TWICE AND FELL AGAIN LAST YEAR. ORIGINALLY I WAS TOLD MY WINDOWS WERE FIXED VIA A RECALL, BUT WHEN I CALLED LAST YEAR AND AGAIN TODAY IN REFERENCE TO MY WINDOW FALLING FOR A THIRD TIME, I WAS TOLD THE ISSUE WAS FIXED VIA AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, WHICH HAS SINCE EXPIRED. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER/JEEP COMPLAINT LINE TODAY AND WAS TOLD THAT EVEN THOUGH THIS WILL BE THE SEVENTH TOTAL TIME A WINDOW ON MY CAR WILL HAVE TO BE FIXED DUE TO THE FAULTY WINDOW REGULATOR, I WILL HAVE TO PAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM OUT OF MY OWN POCKET. I UNDERSTAND HOW AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WORKS; HOWEVER, I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING SOMETHING THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN FIXED TWICE ON ONE WINDOW. NOT ONLY IS THIS A SAFETY HAZARD WHILE DRIVING. EVERY DAY I FEAR SOMEONE WILL GAIN ACCESS TO MY CAR AND EITHER STEAL IT, OR WAIT UNTIL I GET IN THE CAR AND KIDNAP ME OR WORSE. I LOVE MY JEEP; HOWEVER, I WILL NOT REMAIN A JEEP OWNER FOR MUCH LONGER. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE CONTINUOUSLY HAVE THIS ISSUE. JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE HASN'T DIED FROM IT YET DOESN'T MEAN A RECALL SHOULDN'T BE PLACED ON THE CAR. *TR

Summary

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS JEEP LIBERTY FIRST OF ALL AND I LOVE IT, BUT IT IS DANGEROUS! I CAN'T FILL THE GAS TANK ON MY JEEP LIBERTY WITH OUT IT SPEWING BACK OUT. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED GAS WAS ALL ON THE GROUND AT THE GAS STATION. IT GOT ALL OVER MY HANDS AND PAINTS LEG AND BURNED MY SKIN. I WAS OUT OF TOWN AND DIDN'T HAVE AN EXTRA PAIR OF PANTS TO CHANGE INTO. ALL I COULD DO IS PULL OFF AT THE NEXT EXIT AND TRY TO CLEAN MY SKIN IN THE RESTROOM. NOW I HAVE TO HOLD MY EAR DOWN TO THE GAS NOZZLE TO HEAR THE TANK FILLING UP. MY HUSBAND CAN'T HEAR WELL SO I CAN'T LET HIM FUEL THE LIBERTY. OUT OF FEAR OF GAS GETTING ON OTHERS AND ON THE GROUND, I AM THE ONLY ONE THAT FUELS THE TANK. CHRYSLER WILL NOT REPLACE THE GAS TANK BECAUSE IT SHOWS NO PROBLEM UNDER MY VIN NUMBER. THIS IS A PUBLIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY PROBLEM WITH GASOLINE ON PEOPLE AND ALL OVER THE GROUND! I NEED THIS TANK REPLACED, JUST THUNK ABOUT IT....1/2 GALLON OF GASOLINE ON THE GROUND FOR EVERY OTHER JEEP LIBERTY LIKE MINE OUT THERE. I TALKED WITH JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE AGAIN TODAY AND WAS STILL DENIED. *TR

3 TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE SAW MILL PARKWAY THIS MORNING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, WHILE COMING TO A STOP THE VEHICLE STARTED TO ACCELERATE OUT OF CONTROL. THE BRAKES COULD NOT CONTROL IT. THE FIRST TIME I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE REVERTED TO IDLE SPEED AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE NORMALLY. A FEW MILES LATER IT DID IT AGAIN AS I WAS COMING TO A STOP IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THIS TIME WHEN I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL THE ENGINE RACED AT FULL SPEED AS IF IT WAS BEING FLOORED. I HAD TO TURN OFF THE KEY. WHEN I RESTARTED THE ENGINE IT RAN FINE FOR A FEW MILES UNTIL I WAS EXITING THE HIGHWAY. AGAIN WHEN I SLOWED TO A STOP THE ENGINE RACED AT FULL REVS. GOING INTO NEUTRAL DID NOT HELP. TURNING OFF THE KEY FIXED IT. AT THE END OF THE DAY AFTER WORK THE VEHICLE BEHAVED NORMALLY. THIS JEEP HAS DONE THIS 3 TIMES IN THE PAST, IN JANUARY 2009, FEB 2012 AND OCTOBER 2014. *TR

Summary

MY AIR BAG LIGHT INDICATOR ACTIVATED, AND AT THE SAME TIME MY HORN STOPPED WORKING! AFTER HAVING IT CHECKED OUT BY A REPAIR SHOP, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLY IS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THIS ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MALFUNCTION OF AIR BAGS IN OTHER 2006 JEEP LIBERTY'S; HOWEVER, RECALLS OF THIS PROBLEM APPLY TO OTHER VIN NUMBERS (BEGINNING WITH THE LETTER K). I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY A JEEP DEALERSHIP THAT THE COST OF REPAIRS WILL EXCEED $400.00, AND THAT MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLY'S ARE THAT MUCH DIFFERENT AMONGST THE DIFFERENT VIN NUMBERS? I AM HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS, AND IN THE MEANTIME I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IN ADDITION TO HAVING NO HORN THAT MY AIR BAGS WOULD NOT EMPLOY IN THE EVENT THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE KILLED IN A VEHICLE FOR ANOTHER VIN NUMBER TO BE CHECKED OUT ON THE CURRENT LISTING? *JS

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT GAS STATION I AM AT, OR HOW I'M POSITIONING THE HOSE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER A YEAR, BUT HAS GOTTEN INCREASINGLY WORSE RECENTLY.

Summary

IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE NHTSA THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH JEEP VEHICLES THAT WHEN FUELING UP THE GAS TANK A GEYSER OF GASOLINE WILL ERUPT FROM THE TANK UPON "COMPLETION" OF FILLING THE TANK. COVERING THE CAR, THE INDIVIDUAL FILLING THE TANK, THE GROUND, AND ANYONE ELSE WITHIN A CERTAIN VICINITY IN GASOLINE, A HIGHLY FLAMMABLE LIQUID. CHRYSLER HAS A HISTORY OF THIS ISSUE WITH THEIR VEHICLES. IN 2009, 45,000 CARS WERE RECALLED FOR IT. CURRENTLY, CHRYSLER HAS AGREED TO "INITIATE A LIFETIME WARRANTY PROGRAM" TO ADDRESS THIS VERY ISSUE IN 135,000 JEEPS MANUFACTURED IN 2007 AND 2008. LEAVING ALL OTHER JEEP OWNERS WITH THIS ISSUE TO CONTINUE RISKING THEIR LIVES AND THE LIVES OF OTHERS BY GETTING CONTINUALLY DOUSED IN GASOLINE. RECENTLY, CHRYSLER ISSUED A RECALL FOR 430,000 JEEPS BECAUSE OF A WEAKNESS IN THE GAS TANK THAT CAN BURST INTO FLAME IN THE EVENT OF A REAR END COLLISION. SO THEY KNOW THEIR GAS TANKS ARE WEAK! THIS LATEST RECALL ADMITS TO IT. SO WHY THE DISCRIMINATION AGAINST THE REST OF US JEEP OWNERS WITH FAULTY INLET CHECK VALVES? WHERE IS JUSTICE, AND CONCERN FOR OUR SAFETY? *TR

Summary

WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS OF THE JEEP LIBERTY 2006 THAT HAD A RECALL ON THE BALL JOINTS AND STABILIZER BARS IN 2006. OF COURSE, WE HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED WHEN THE JEEP WAS ONLY A FEW MONTHS OLD. IT MAY HAVE HAD LESS THAN 1000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. WHEN VISITING THE DEALER ON DEC 2, 2014 FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND TIRE BALANCE. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE BALL JOINTS ON DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SIDE OF JEEP WERE IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT AT A COST OF 1100.00 (WE ONLY HAVE 61,600 MILES ON JEEP) I WAS SHOCKED THAT A VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT AND ONLY DRIVEN BY THE MOM OF THE FAMILY AROUND TOWN OF ABOUT 6000 MILES A YEAR COULD INCUR SUCH A DRASTIC PROBLEM. THIS IS A VALID SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE INTEGRITY OF THE RECALL. THE REPAIR SHOULD HAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY OR AT LEAST 100K MILES. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY, THESE BALL JOINTS DISINTEGRATED WITHOUT BEING FAULTY FROM THE BEING. MY QUESTION LIES IF MY VEHICLE WAS REALLY TAKEN CARE OF, OR WAS IT JUST LOOKED AT BECAUSE IT WAS BRAND NEW AT THE TIME. OUR LIBERTY HAS HAD FULL SYNTHETIC OIL CHANGES AND TREATED WITH THE UTMOST CARE. SO IT REALLY SADDENS ME THAT CHRYSLER HAS SUCH "SAFETY" ISSUES. OF ALL THINGS THAT CAN GO WRONG WITH A CAR, WHEN IT REFERS TO A PREVIOUS RECALL, IT'S OBVIOUS THE ISSUE WAS NEVER REALLY ADDRESSED. *JS

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN AUGUST 2014 REGARDING THE FUEL TANK ON MY CAR. IT HAS TAKEN UNTIL TODAY TO GET THE PART AT THE DEALERSHIP, JONES OF BEL AIR. SOME OF THE BLAME IS DUE TO THE PARTS NOT BEING AVAILABLE AND THAT JONES DID NOT CONTACT ME WHEN THE PARTS CAME IN, AS THEY SAID THEY WOULD. I BELIEVE THIS HAS PLACED ME AT RISK OF HARM DUE TO THE FUEL TANK LEAK THAT COULD CAUSE A FIRE IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION. *TR

Summary

I PURCHASED WHAT APPEARED TO BE A WELL MAINTAINED 2006 JEEP FROM A LOCAL REPUTABLE DEALER AT A COST OVER OF 10 GRAND ON 10/3/14. THE FIRST TANK FILL UP THE GAS OVERFLOWED OUT OF THE TANK. THERE WAS NO "STOP" THE GAS JUST CAME OUT. I ASKED THE CASHIER IF THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS PUMP AND THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW. SO, THE NEXT GAS FILL UP A WEEK LATER, THE GAS SHOT OUT OF THE TANK THIS TIME. STILL NO WARNING TO STOP FILLING THE TANK WITH A GAS "STOP". I CONTACTED THE DEALER, WHO COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING MECHANICALLY WRONG WITH THE TANK, AND HAD TO PAY FOR AND SEND THE CAR TO A LOCAL JEEP DEALER FOR REPAIR. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, THEY REPLACED THE GAS TANK. ALBEIT I RECEIVED THE CAR BACK WITH LESS GAS THAN I HAD LEFT IT WITH. TOOK THE CAR HOME, FILED THE CAR ON FRIDAY 11/7/14 AND THE GAS MECHANISM DID STOP THE GAS, BUT ONLY AFTER GAS LEAKED OUT FROM THE GAS TANK AGAIN, AND THEY NEVER EVEN TESTED THE CAR TO MAKE SURE IT DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN! AS I FOUND OUT LATER, THEY REPLACED THE TANK WITH A USED TANK. I AM INCREDULOUS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. MY DEALER IS GOING TO TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE, I HOPE. AND IF IT IS NOT FIXABLE, I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER JEEP OR CHRYSLER PRODUCT! FROM WHAT I AM READING ON THE WEB NO ONE IS LISTENING TO US JEEP OWNERS. THANKFULLY I HAVE A SMALL WARRANTY PERIOD THAT COVERS THIS ISSUE, BUT I IMPLORE YOU TO REOPEN THIS ISSUE. I CAN ATTEST THIS IS NOT INTERNET HYPE. I HAVE WORKED HARD FOR MOST OF MY LIFE AND FEEL AS A CONSUMER I AM BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF. TO MAKE SUCH A SUBSTANTIAL PURCHASE TO ONLY FIND OUT THAT THOUSANDS OF OTHERS ARE BEING IGNORED WITH THE SAME ISSUE IS BEYOND ME. PLEASE FIX WHAT IS ALREADY BROKEN. *TR

Summary

2006 JEEP LIBERTY'S GAS TANK OVERFLOW MALFUNCTION. EVERY TIME I FILL THE LIBERTY'S GAS TANK IT HAS OVERFLOWED. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVER SINCE THE FIRST TIME I GASSED IT UP AFTER PURCHASING IT IN 2006. I HAVE REPORTED IT SEVERAL TIMES TO MY LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP IT WAS EVEN REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHEN I WENT IN TO GET MY FREE OIL CHANGE (AT 3000 MILES) FOR THE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE, BUT THEY HAVE CONSTANTLY PASSED THE BLAME DOWN ON ME FOR NOT PROPERLY FILLING THE GAS TANK. BECAUSE I AM EITHER A. AT FAULT BECAUSE I AM TOPING OFF THE TANK OR B. I AM AT FAULT FOR APPARENTLY USING THE SAME GAS PUMP ALL THE TIME. BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO'S FILLING THE TANK, NOR DOES IT MATTER WHICH GAS STATION I GO TO GAS ENDS UP GETTING ON ME, THE SIDE OF THE JEEP, AND ON THE GROUND WHICH IS HAZARDOUS ALL THE WAY AROUND. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE TANK IS UNDER RECALL TO HAVE A HITCH INSTALLED, TO PROTECT IT FROM REAR END COLLISIONS BUT I HAVE NO INTEREST, IN PARTICIPATING IN THE RECALL UNTIL THE OVERFLOW PROBLEM IS RESOLVED. *TR

WHENEVER I FILL UP THE GAS TANK WITH GAS THE FILLER TUBE OVER FLOWS WITH GAS AND DOES NOT ALLOW THE FUEL PUMP TO CUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW.

THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY JEEP LIBERTY ISSUED OCTOBER OF 2013. IT IS NOW JULY 2014 AND I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED MY "FOLLOW UP" LETTER.

THIS IS A SERIOUS SITUATION AND IF I AM REAR ENDED, MY CAR COULD EXPLODE. WAITING ALMOST 1 YEAR AFTER A RECALL IS UNACCEPTABLE. "THE PROBLEM IS...

Summary

THE LIFT PLATES ON ALL SIDE WINDOWS OF JEEP LIBERTY VEHICLES CAN BE DEFECTIVE. THE WINDOW WILL UNEXPECTEDLY COMPLETELY DROP DOWN. CHRYSLER CORPORATION ACCEPTS THE FACT THERE ARE WINDOW DEFECTIVE LIFT PLATES. THEY EXTENDED THE VEHICLE WARRANTY TO REPLACE THE LIFT PLATE PARTS IF THEY FAIL. TO MY KNOWLEDGE CHRYSLER CORPORATION DID NOT NOTIFY OWNERS ABOUT THE DEFECTIVE PARTS OR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I FOUND THIS INFORMATION OUT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR WINDOW REPAIR AT THE JEEP CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP (THE FARICY BOYS CHRYSLER, JEEP) ON SEPTEMBER 18, 2013. CHRYSLER KNEW ALL THE SIDE WINDOW PARTS WERE DEFECTIVE, BUT WOULD ONLY REPLACE THE WINDOW LIFT PLATES THAT WERE NOT WORKING ON THAT DAY. ANOTHER SIDE WINDOW LIFT PLATE ON THE SAME VEHICLE FAILED ON MAY 30, 2013. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND A WINDOW COMPLETELY DROPS DOWN IT CAN STARTLE THE DRIVER AND IS A DISTRACTION THAT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS AGAIN TAKEN IN FOR REPAIR AT THE JEEP CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE EXTENDED WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED AND THE COST OF REPAIR NEEDED TO BE PAID BY THE OWNER. IN SUMMARY, CHRYSLER CORPORATION KNEW THE SIDE WINDOW LIFT PLATES ARE DEFECTIVE, BUT WOULD NOT REPLACE ALL THE DEFECTIVE PARTS. I AM ASKING THE NHTSA TO ORDER A MANDATORY RECALL AND REQUIRE CHRYSLER TO FIX ALL WINDOW LIFT PLATES ON THE JEEP LIBERTIES. A DEFECTIVE LIFT PLATE CAN CAUSE THE WINDOW TO UNEXPECTEDLY DROP DOWN AND CAN PRESENT DRIVER CONFUSION AND A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAN PRESENT A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO THE HEALTH AND LIFE OF AMERICANS. THANK YOU. *TR

WHICH CONTROLS THE ESP/BAS PROGRAM AS WELL AS THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG SHOULD THERE BE AN IMPACT. I TOOK MY JEEP IN EARLY FEBRUARY AND THE PART WAS PLACED ON BACK ORDER BECAUSE THERE WAS NONE AVAILABLE IN THE NATIONWIDE INVENTORY WAS EXPECTED AT THE EARLIEST, MID-MAY. THE RECOMMENDATION IS NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I FOLLOWED UP IN EARLY MAY AND THAT DATE WAS SHIFTED TO AUGUST. I FOLLOWED UP IN THIS PAST WEEK AND THE DATE HAS BEEN SHIFTED YET AGAIN TO MID-SEPTEMBER. GOING ON 7 PLUS MONTHS WITHOUT MY VEHICLE DUE TO ONE PART THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SEEMINGLY A COMMON ONE LOOKING AT THE OTHER COMPLAINTS FILED ON THIS SITE IS RIDICULOUS. I HAVE TRIED GETTING THIS PART THROUGH OTHER AFTER MARKET PLACES ONLINE AND IT CAN ONLY COME THROUGH JEEP/MOPAR PART AUTHORIZED SUPPLIER. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT OR RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED TO ESCALATED TO GIVE THIS PROBLEM MORE VISIBILITY IN ORDE FOR IT TO BE CORRECTED. *TR

TRANSMISSION BROKE! EVERY OWNER OF A 2005 OR 2006 JEEP LIBERTY DIESEL THAT I HAVE SPOKEN WITH,HAS HAD TO REBUILD OR REPLACE THEIR TRANSMISSION.THE MANUFACTURE HAD A RECALL TO TUNE DOWN ENGINE TO HELP PREVENT PROBLEM,I HAD THIS DONE,BUT THIS IS ONLY A TEMP FIX,(A BAND-AID). THE REAL PROBLEM IS A WEAK LINK IN THE TRANNY,(THE TORQUE CONVERTER). WHEN THE TORQUE CONVERTER FAILS IT DESTROYS THE TRANSMISSION.. WHICH IS WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO ME. MY JEEP IS 8 YEARS OLD, BUT I ONLY HAD 68,000 MILES ON IT. THE REASON I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WAS FOR THE LONG SERVICE LIFE OF THE 2.8L DIESEL (300,000 PLUS MILES BEFORE REBUILD). I LIVE IN A SOMEWHAT RURAL AREA AND I HAVE SPOKE WITH OVER 12 PEOPLE WHO HAS EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THERE 2.8L DIESEL TRANSMISSION #545RFE. I KNOW THIS IS A NATIONWIDE PROBLEM,I HAVE GONE ONLINE AND SPOKEN WITH ALOT OF LIBERTY OWNERS AND ALL HAVE HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS,I HAVE ALSO SPOKE WITH MANY FORMER LIBERTY OWNERS WHO SAID THEY WOULD NEVER DRIVE ANOTHER JEEP, BECAUSE LACK OF DEALER CONCERNS OVER TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS..THEY HAD! I AM CORRECTING THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING THE DAMAGED STOCK TRANSMISSION,WITH A HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AFTERMARKET ONE MADE FOR THE TORQUE OF A DIESEL ENGINE.. I FEEL CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT HALF TO ENDURE THAT LARGE OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE,TO REPAIR A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM! THANK-YOU *TR

THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE....WHY HAS IT TAKEN A YEAR TO GET THE PARTS TO THE DEALERS TO FIX OUR JEEPS? WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GAS, THE PUMP'S HANDLE WILL SUDDENLY AND FORCIBLY STOP (AS THOUGH THE TANK WERE FULL) AND GASOLINE WILL SPIT OUT OF THE FUEL OPENING, DESPITE THE FACT IT IS GALLONS AWAY FROM BEING FILLED TO FULL CAPACITY. THIS HAPPENS WITH EVERY DIFFERENT GAS STATION'S PUMP HANDLES, SO TO BE CLEAR, IT IS NOT AN ISSUE WITH THE PUMP OR HANDLE, OR THE INDIVIDUAL'S ABILITY TO PUMP GAS CORRECTLY; IT IS AN ISSUE WITH THE GAS LINE OF THIS VEHICLE AND THE INDICATOR OR REGULATOR OR WHATEVER PART IS DEFECTIVE. *TR

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AND A TRUCK IN FRONT OF HER STOPPED QUICKLY CAUSING MY DAUGHTER TO SLAM ON BRAKES TO AVOID A COLLISION BUT ENDED UP REAR ENDING THE TRUCK. HER AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND HER JEEP HAD TO BE TOWED FROM THE SITE. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SINCE 4/28/14 AND WAS REPAIRED EXCEPT FOR THE CLOCK SPRING WHICH IS NECESSARY FOR THE NEW AIRBAG. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS PART IS NO LONGER PRODUCED OR MANUFACTURED BY ANY VENDOR IN THE COUNTRY. THEREFORE, OUR JEEP CANNOT BE RELEASED TO US WHICH HAS CAUSED A HARDSHIP ON OUR FAMILY AS WELL AS A HARDSHIP FOR THE SHOP MANAGER AS HE CANNOT BE PAID UNTIL THE CAR IS RELEASED. BECAUSE OF THIS I BELIEVE THAT ANYONE DRIVING A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY IN THE COUNTRY IS POSSIBLY AT RISK DUE TO THIS DEVICE NOT BEING READILY AVAILABLE IN THE PROPER SUPPLY CHANNELS. *TR

Summary

THE NHTSA SAFETY RECALL OF MY JEEP LIBERTY TO REPAIR A DEADLY DEFECT WITH THE PLACEMENT OF THE FUEL TANK HAS NOT YET BEEN REPAIRED BY CHRYSLER. THEY INFORMED ME OF THE RECALL IN DECEMBER, 2013, BUT THE DEALER (JIM RIEHL'S FRIENDLY CHRYSLER JEEP IN WARREN, MI) TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PART YET. WHEN I CALLED THAT SAME ESTABLISHMENT ON MARCH 3, 2014 TO SCHEDULE THE IMPORTANT SAFETY REPAIR, I WAS GIVEN THE SAME RESPONSE - THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PART IN STOCK YET. TODAY I JUST RECEIVED A MAILING FROM JIM RIEHL'S FRIENDLY JEEP IN WARREN MI WHICH STATES:"RECALL NOTICE. AS OF DECEMBER 12, 2013, THIS VEHICLE HAS THE FOLLOWING INCOMPLETE RECALLS/CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTICES: N46 (N46 / NHTSA 13V-252) PLEASE CONTACT US TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. RECALL/CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTICE REPAIRS WILL BE PERFORMED FREE." WHEN I CALLED RUSS IN SERVICE AT THAT SAME FRIENDLY JEEP TODAY, MAY 28, 2014 - - PART NOT YET IN STOCK. THE STATEMENT ABOUT THE RECALL REPAIR IS FRAUDULENT - THE MAILING CONTAINED TWO COUPONS FOR VEHICLE MAINTENANCE. WHEN WILL YOU STOP THIS FARCE AND FORCE CHRYSLER TO STOP ENDANGERING THEIR CUSTOMERS AND REPAIR THEIR DEADLY DEFECT? *TR

Summary

KEY WILL NOT RELEASE FROM IGNITION ON STEERING COLUMN DUE TO RESTRICTED (DEGRADED RANGE OF MOTION FROM A SUBASSEMBLY WITH WEAKENED SPRING) MOVEMENT OF AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK CABLE. VEHICLE CAN NOT BE PUT IN PARK (SHIFTER FREELY MOVES THROUGH P R N D 3 2) AND KEY WILL NOT MAKE THE LAST LITTLE TURN BEFORE RELEASE. SEEMS TO BE AN EXTREMELY COMMON OCCURRENCE AMONG OWNERS, BASED ON CURSORY ONLINE RESEARCH. REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF ENTIRE CENTER CONSOLE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY WITH AN "UPGRADED/IMPROVED" MOPAR PART TO FIX THE KNOWN HIGH FAILURE SUBASSEMBLY (BUT NOT AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE SEPARATELY). INABILITY TO PLACE VEHICLE SECURELY IN PARK WOULD SEEM TO BE BIGGEST SAFETY ISSUE, NOT TO MENTION VEHICLE SECURITY COMPROMISED WITH KEY PERPETUALLY IN IGNITION. *JS ..UPDATED 02-10-15 *BF UPDATED 8/28/2017*CN

AS I HAD JUST EXITED THE FLORIDA'S TURNPIKE NORTH BOUND AT KENDALL DRIVE IN MIAMI AND ATTEMPTED TO ENTER THE TOWN AND COUNTRY MALL AT ABOUT 20 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE BALL JOINT OF MY 2006 CRD 4X4 JEEP LIBERTY CAME APART CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOCK THE FRONT WHEEL AS THE STEERING ARM WITH PART OF THE BALL JOINT ENTER AND LANDED INSIDE THE RIM AND THE TIRE, PERFORATING IT AND PREVENTING THE TIRE FROM TURNING CAUSING THE JEEP TO ALMOST BUCK LIKE A HORSE SENDING US HEAD FIRST TOWARDS THE WINDSHIELD. THANKFULLY, IT DID NOT HAPPEN 45 SECONDS EARLIER WHEN MY FAMILY AND I WERE ON THE EXPRESS WAY DRIVING 65 MPH...IT WOULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC! THIS EQUIPMENT/PART FAILURE IS KNOWN AS RECALL F-23 BY CHRYSLER/JEEP AND THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF IT!! I WAS NEVER AWARE OF SUCH RECALL !! CHRYSLER/JEEP, AFTER ONE MONTH AT THEIR DEALER CONTINUE TO REFUSE TO FIX THE COLLATERAL DAMAGE ON THE VEHICLE (RIM, ETC) CREATED BY THEIR DEFECTIVE PART!! USING AS AN EXCUSE THAT THE FACTORY WARRANTY IS OVER WHEN IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT. CHRYSLER SENT AN "INDEPENDENT" INSPECTOR TO VIEW THE VEHICLE. THIS "INDEPENDENT" INSPECTOR'S BILL IS PAID BY CHRYSLER. THIS EQUIPMENT FAILURE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!! AND COULD BE FATAL!!! PLEASE HELP!! AT THIS TIME I ONLY WANT MY JEEP FIXED PROPERLY, AND THAT CHRYSLER HONORS THE TRADITIONAL JEEP QUALITY AND COMMITMENT TO THEIR CUSTOMERS!! A LETTER HAS BEEN SENT TO CHRYSLER CLAIMS AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM IN PERSON AND VIA TELEPHONE. NO RESULTS!! UPDATED 06/04/14

THERE SEEMS TO BE A REOCCURRING PROBLEM WITH THOUSANDS OF LIBERTY OWNERS. MANY PEOPLE I HAVE TALKED TO TELL ME THAT THERE IS NO PERMANENT FIX FOR THIS AND I HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT.

THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW BY CHRYSLER INC AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS THE OWNERS ARE AT RISK OF INJURY AND THE GAS STATIONS ARE AT RISK OF FIRE AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC ARE AT RISK AS WELL.

Summary

THIS STARTED APROX 3 YEARS AGO. WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK TO FULL, THE PUMP WOULD KICK OFF AND THEN GAS WOULD ALWAYS SPIT BACK AND OVERFLOW ON TO THE GROUND (SCARY) TO AVOID THIS, I STOPPED FILLING THE TANK TO FULL AND ONLY TO 3/4 FULL AND THE PROBLEM STOPPED. BUT NOW, I CAN'T ADD FUEL WITHOUT GAS SHOOTING BACK ALL OVER THE PLACE EVEN WHEN THE TANK HAS LOW FUEL. THE ONLY WAY FUEL CAN BE ADDED WITHOUT GETTING DRENCHED IN GAS, IS TO FIND A PUMP THAT YOU CAN FEATHER THE ON/OFF HANDLE TO RUN SLOW ENOUGH SO IT'S BARELY ADDING FUEL, THEN IT WILL NOT BACK UP. IT TAKES AT LEAST 20 MINUTES AT THE PUMP TO ADD 10 GALLONS OF GAS. UNFORTUNATELY I GAVE THIS VEHICLE TO MY 20 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND SHE IS SCARED TO ADD FUEL SO I HAVE TO DO IT. ALSO, I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE CLOCK SPRING AND THE "GAS CAP" LIGHT NEVER SHUTS OFF. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR CLOCK SPRING ISSUES AND THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE SO SHE DROVE IT FOR MONTHS WITH THE WARNING LIGHTS ON AND THE PART IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE BUT THE LIGHTS HAVE NOW SHUT OFF.... THE GAS CAP WARNING COULD NOT BE FIXED BY THE DEALER SO THAT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. BUT THIS FUELING PROBLEM IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. *TR

Summary

MY ORIGINAL INTENT WAS TO FILE A COMPLAINT ABOUT A GAS OVERFLOW ISSUE, BUT AFTER SEEING ALL THE OTHER LIBERTY COMPLAINTS, I HAVE INCLUDED OTHER ISSUES I HAVE: 1. FOR AT LEAST TWO YEARS, WHEN PUMPING GAS, THE GAS HAS CONTINUED TO FLOW EVEN AFTER THE AUTOMATIC FLOW HAS SHUT OFF. I NOW STAND AT THE PUMP AND WHEN I THINK IT IS GETTING FULL, I START PUMPING BY HAND TO AVOID THE OVERFLOW. AFTER CHECKING ON THE INTERNET, THIS IS AN ISSUE OTHER LIBERTY OWNERS EXPERIENCE. I DID RECEIVE THE INITIAL RECALL NOTICE FOR 13V-252, BUT NOTHING SINCE TO SAY THE PART IS IN. SINCE THE GAS OVERFLOW IS EXPERIENCED BY MANY OWNERS, IS THIS PART OF THE RECALL? 2. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. IT HAS BEEN RE-SET MANY TIMES; IS OK FOR A DAY OR TWO AND THEN RE-APPEARS. PER OWNER'S MANUAL, THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE UNLESS THE LIGHT IS FLASHING, WHICH IT IS NOT, BUT WHY DOES THIS CONTINUE TO OCCUR? 3. BOTH BACK ELECTRIC WINDOWS HAVE FALLEN DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. BOTH ARE NOW SECURED IN PLACE WITH TAPE, AS IT WOULD BE TOO EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. 4. THE BACK LEFT DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. *TR

WE PURCHASED A USED 2006 JEEP LIBERTY LAST YEAR.

LUCKILY ENOUGH WE WEREN'T DRIVING VERY FAST OTHERWISE IT COULD HAVE CAUSED INJURY CONSIDERING THE TIRE IS NOW ALMOST AT A 90 DEGREE ANGLE AND WE CAN'T MOVE THE CAR. I UNDERSTAND THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS IS 8 YEARS AFTER THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE DATE, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF I CAN GET A MANUFACTURER REPAIR DONE FREE OF CHARGE, AND WOULD RATHER HAVE IT DONE AT A DEALER KNOWING THEY WOULD HAVE THE CORRECT PARTS. NORMALLY MY 1 YEAR OLD IS IN THE CAR, LUCKILY HE WASN'T LAST NIGHT, BUT WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF I AM ENTITLED TO REPAIRS. *TR

Summary

THE VEHICLE SHIFT ASSEMBLY FOR THESE MODEL OF JEEPS FAILS TO OPERATE CORRECTLY. THE CABLE WILL NOT SET IN THE PROPER POSITION WHEN SHIFTED BACK INTO PARK, DISABLING THE OWNER'S ABILITY TO REMOVE THEIR KEY FROM THE IGNITION. THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REMOVE THE COVER COVERING THE SHIFT ASSEMBLY AND FORCEFULLY PUSH THE CABLE INTO PLACE TO RELEASE THE KEY. IN ADDITION TO THIS, THE SHIFT HANDLE CAN BE BUMPED AND SHIFTED INTO GEARS, OR INTO REVERSE OR PARK, WITHOUT THE BRAKE BEING PUSHED AS WOULD NORMALLY OPERATE THE ASSEMBLY. THIS CAUSES THE RISK OF ACCIDENTALLY BUMPING THE VEHICLE INTO A GEAR THAT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND RISK THE DRIVER'S LIFE. *TR

THIS INCIDENT STARTED IN 2008 AND AT THE TIME THOUGHT IT WAS A FAILURE OF THE GAS PUMP AT THE GAS STATION BUT NOW THE PROBLEM IS MORE COMMON AND HAPPENS WEEKLY, RECENTLY SPLASHING GASOLINE INTO MY EYES WHICH REQUIRED FLUID EYE RINSE AND MEDICAL ATTENTION. EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE TANK ON MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY, THE GAS BEGINS TO OVERFLOW AND SPLASHES BACK, OUT OF THE FUEL INLET OPENING. THIS IN TURN SPRAYS FUEL OUT AT A FORCE, AND THEN ONTO THE GROUND. RECENTLY THIS HAPPENED AND SPRAYED FUEL INTO MY EYES, ON ONTO MY CLOTHES. NOT ONLY IS THIS A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT ALSO A MAJOR FIRE HAZARD. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING AFTER TALKING WITH THE DEALER THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH JEEP LIBERTY'S IN THAT THE FUEL TANK'S INLET CHECK VALVE IS FAULTY WHICH IN TURN FAILS TO AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF THE GAS STATION FUEL PUMP IN TIME. THIS IS MY FORMAL COMPLAINT THAT I WAS INJURED DUE TO A KNOWN, FAULTY PART/COMPONENT OF THE JEEP LIBERTY. *TR

WE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING ON OUR 2006 JEEP LIBERTY UNTIL WE HAD A SEVERE COLD SNAP (JEEP WAS BOUGHT IN FL AND NOW RESIDES IN DE) AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT DEVELOPED A SCREECHING, STRAINING NOISE IN THE STEERING AND ALL AROUND DRIVING.IT DIDN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED WE DROVE THE NOISE WAS ALWAYS THERE AND CONSISTENT, WHETHER YOU TURNED A CORNER, PUT ON THE BRAKES, BACKED UP OR DROVE ON THE ROAD NORMALLY ALMOST SOUNDED LIKE THE BRAKES WERE DRAGGING BUT WE HAD THE BRAKES CHANGED IN APRIL 2013. TOOK JEEP TO OUR AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE WITH BAD UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS. DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS WOULD HAPPEN ALL OF A SUDDEN BUT IN ENDED UP A VERY COSTLY REPAIR. ENJOY OUR JEEP BUT IF THERE WAS ANY RECALLS FOR BALL JOINTS WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED. *TR

HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FILL UP MY GAS TANK COMPLETELY SINCE THIS PAST FALL. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AUGUST 2013 FROM AN AUTHORIZED CHRYSLER/JEEP DEALERSHIP. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT USER ERROR AT THE GAS PUMP. I HAVE OWNED AT LEAST A FEW DIFFERENT CARS AND UNDERSTAND HOW TO USE A GAS PUMP. I'VE FILLED THE JEEP LIBERTY AT LEAST A DOZEN DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND IT DOES IT EVERY TIME AND THE GAS SENSOR AT THE PUMP WILL NOT SHUT OFF. I HAVE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO HAVE WESTBURY JEEP SERVICE CENTER ON JANUARY 15,2013 TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE SINCE THE GAS OVERFLOW IS A POTENTIAL HAZARD. *TR

WHILE FILLING UP WITH GAS, IF YOU TRY TO FILL THE TANK, GAS POURS OUT OF THE TANK BEFORE THE HOSE CAN SHUT ITSELF OFF. GAS COVERS THE SIDE OF THE CAR, IS ALL OVER ANYONE STANDING NEAR AND THE GROUND. WHEN I WALK AWAY FROM THE CAR, THE GAS STATION ATTENDANT SAYS I MUST STAY WITH THE CAR DURING THE GASSING PROCESS. IS IT SAFE TO HAVE A CAR WHERE THE AUTO SHUTOFF DOESN'T WORK FOR A FLUID AS FLAMMABLE AS GAS?

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM FAILS TO STOP DELIVERING FUEL AFTER TANK IS FULL; THUS RESULTING IN FUEL OVERFLOWING THE TANK AND ONTO THE CAR EXTERIOR, GROUND, ETC. THIS OCCURS REGARDLESS OF THE SPEED AT WHICH THE FUEL IS DELIVERED INTO THE TANK. THIS HAS OCCURRED THROUGHOUT OUR OWNERSHIP OF THIS JEEP, AND THE INCIDENT DATE REPRESENT THE APPROX. DATE OF PURCHASE. THIS SAME ISSUE WAS OCCURRING IN THE 2008 JEEP WRANGLERS (OF WHICH I OWN ONE) AND WAS SUBJECT TO A RECALL. UPON THE RECALL REPAIR (NEW TANK, ETC), THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED. PRIOR TO THE 2006 JEEP LIBERTY, WE OWNED A 2003 JEEP LIBERTY, WHICH DID NOT HAVE THAT ISSUE. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK TO FULL WITH THE PUMP NOZZLE SET TO AUTOMATIC, THE TANK SPITS OUT 1/2 TO 1 GALLON OF GAS BEFORE THE NOZZLE DISENGAGES. THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS PUMP. THE SAME PUMP WAS USED ON OTHER CARS WITHOUT INCIDENT. THIS HAPPENS ON THIS JEEP LIBERTY REGARDLESS OF WHAT PUMP IS USED. ON OCCASIONS, THIS EXCESS FUEL HAS GOTTEN ONTO MY CLOTHES WHICH POSES A SAFETY HAZARD. I'VE INVESTIGATED THIS ON THE INTERNET AND MANY JEEP OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I NO LONGER USE THE AUTOMATIC NOZZLE SETTING BUT THIS IS UNSATISFACTORY BECAUSE OTHERS FILLING THE TANK ON MY BEHALF MAY NOT BE AWARE OF THIS. SOME AREAS OF THE COUNTRY DON'T ALLOW THE USE OF SELF-SERVICE PUMPS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE NEAR CRATER LAKE NATIONAL PARK. THE POWER WINDOW MOTOR SYSTEM BROKE ON THE LEFT REAR PASSENGER DOOR, THUS ALLOWING THE WINDOW TO FREE FALL INTO THE DOOR FRAME. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS AND HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR OF JEEP. THEN NOW IN DECMEBER, THE DRIVERS WINDOW MOTOR SYSTEM HAS BROKEN AGAIN CAUSING THE GLASS WINDOW TO FREE FALL INTO THE DOOR FRAME. IF THIS IS ALL TRUE ABOUT THIS SYSTEM, AND THE FACT THAT I NOW HAVE 2 BROKEN POWER WINDOW MOTORS WHICH WILL COST ME NEARLY $900 TO FIX, I FEEL THIS ITEM SHOULD BE ON A NATIONAL RECALL LIST FOR JEEP TO REPLACE THESE ITEMS SO THEY WILL NOT FAIL. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT COULD CAUSE GLASS TO BREAK DURING DRIVING TIME AND INJURING DRIVERS. *TR

THE LOWER AND UPPER BALL JOINTS ARE DETERIORATING AND CAUSE INNER WEAR ON BOTH FRONT TIRES. THE CAR HAD AN ALIGNMENT AND NEW TIRES LESS THAN ONE YEAR OLD. THE ACCELERATED INNER WEAR AND CUPPING RESULTED IN A BLOWOUT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE JEEP LIBERTY HAS SERIOUS SUSPENSION PROBLEMS. WHEN I SPOKE TO THE JEEP/CHRYSLER COOPERATION, THEY WERE UNWILLING TO ASSIST IN FIXING THE PROBLEM. WHEN COMPLETING RESEARCH, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2006 JEEP LIBERTIES. JEEP FAILS TO RECOGNIZE THAT THE VIN MODEL OF JEEP HAS A DEFECT IN LOWER AND UPPER BALLS JOINTS FOR MY MODEL. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE JEEP COMPANY FOR THE LACK OF ATTENTION AND ASSISTANCE FOR SUCH A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

Summary

MY COMPLAINT IS ACTUALLY ABOUT NHTSA! IN JUNE OF 2013, NHTSA PETITIONED CHRYSLER TO RECALL (RECALL NUMBER N46) JEEP LIBERTY VEHICLES INCLUDING MODEL YEARS 2002 - 2007. ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE, MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY IS INCLUDED. APPARENTLY, THERE IS A RISK OF FUEL TANK PUNCTURE, AND SUBSEQUENT FIRE IN THE CASE OF REAR-END COLLISION. CHRYSLER, AFTER INITIALLY REFUSING TO ISSUE THE RECALL, CAVED IN TO NHTSA PRESSURE. WHEN I SPOKE WITH CHRYSLER TODAY, FIVE MONTHS AFTER THEY AGREED TO THE RECALL, THEY INDICATED THAT THEY ARE WAITING ON NHTSA REVIEWS AND APPROVAL OF CHRYSLER'S RECALL PROPOSAL TO INSTALL A TRAILER HITCH IN UNDER-EQUIPPED VEHICLES, IN ORDER TO STRENGTHEN THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE AND PREVENT GAS TANK PUNCTURES IN THE EVENT OF A LOW-SPEED REAR-END COLLISION. IT SEEMS COUNTER INTUITIVE THAT NHTSA WOULD PRESSURE A MANUFACTURER TO ISSUE A RECALL, AND THEN HOLD UP THE PROCESS OF REPAIRING AFFECTED VEHICLES WHEN THE MANUFACTURER FINALLY AGREES. IF THIS ALLEGED VEHICLE DEFECT ACTUALLY PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD, WHY ALLOW FIVE MONTHS TO PASS WITHOUT ACTION? *TR

Summary

HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES NOW ON THREE DIFFERENT WINDOWS. WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD SHE WOULD HEAR A LOUD POW AND A WINDOW WOULD FALL DOWN INTO THE DOOR FRAME. ALARMING HER AND SCARING HER CAUSING HER TO REACT IN A WAY THAT SHE COULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. BOTH BACK WINDOWS AND NOW HER FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW HAS BEEN EFFECTED. LOOKING ON THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AMONG JEEP OWNERS. JEEP HAS YET TO PLACE A RECALL ON THIS DEFECTIVE PART (A PLASTIC CLIP ON THE WINDOW REGULATORS). JEEP DID SEND ME TO A DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND STATED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY A DEDUCTIBLE OF OVER $100 PER WINDOW TO HAVE IT FIXED AND I'M TOLD THE FRONT WINDOWS COST EVEN MORE! THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART FROM THE FACTORY/DEALER CAUSING THE WINDOWS TO DROP INTO THE DOOR FRAME AT ANY TIME AS I STATED ABOVE, WHEN HERS DONE IT SHE COULD HAVE WRECKED FROM THE SOUND AND THEN THE RUSH OF AIR COMING INTO HER VEHICLE. SHE HAD NO IDEA WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND IF SHE HAD BEEN DRIVING AT INTERNET SPEEDS, PROBABLY WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL DUE TO THE INCIDENT. I URGE YOU TO HAVE JEEP FIX THIS ISSUE AND NOT A FIX TO WHERE IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND AGAIN, BUT A PERMANENT FIX!

I GAVE HER THE LAST 8 DIGITS OF MY VIN AND SHE SAID IT WAS NOT ON THE RECALL. I REFERENCED THE NHTSA NUMBER AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. I TOLD HER I AM THE ONLY OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND PURCHASED IT FROM BARNETT CHRYSLER/JEEP, WHITE BEAR LAKE, MN IN MAR 2007. AGAIN I WAS TOLD MY VIN IS NOT ON RECALL. I ASKED HOW THAT COULD BE; THE GAS TANKS WERE NOT PLACED IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS DEPENDING ON THE VEHICLE. THEY ARE PLACED IN THE SAME LOCATION ON THE VEHICLE. WHEN I ASKED WHY MY VEHICLE IS NOT ON THE LIST, ALL I WAS TOLD IS THE VIN ISN'T LISTED. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE CORRECTED WITH A TOW HITCH; WHICH I DO NOT CURRENTLY HAVE.

Summary

2008 JEEP LIBERTY: I HAVE HAD THE WINDOW REGULATOR LIFT PLATES ON ALL WINDOWS FAIL.....AGAIN, ALL 4 WINDOWS HAVE FAILED A TOTAL OF 7 TIMES COMBINED SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2006. ONE WAS WITHIN WARRANTY PERIOD. THE 6 OTHER FAILURES HAVE OCCURRED WHILE OUT OF WARRANTY. OF THESE 6 OUT OF WARRANTY INSTANCES, JEEP HAS COVERED 4 OF THESE UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THEY ISSUED REGARDING THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY KNOW THE PLASTIC LIFT PLATE PART IS DEFECTIVE AND "NOT ADEQUATELY DESIGNED FOR THE WEIGHT OF THE GLASS AND POWER OF THE WINDOW MOTOR". THE SERVICE MANAGER AT MY DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THIS WORD FOR WORD! THIS WARRANTY HAS NOW EXPIRED AND THE REGULATORS/LIFT PLATES CONTINUE TO FAIL. 1ST ONE FAILED IN MAY OF 2008 REAR DRIVER, 2ND MARCH 2010 PASSENGER, 3RD AUGUST 2010 PASSENGER REAR, 4TH JANUARY 2012 PASSENGER REAR, 5TH SEPTEMBER 2012 DRIVER REAR, 6TH APRIL 2013 DRIVER REAR, AND NOW ANOTHER (7TH) JUST FAILED AUGUST 11TH 2013 DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT STARTLES DRIVERS WHEN A WINDOW SUDDENLY FALLS AND SLAMS INTO THE DOOR. I HAVE SWERVED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION, LUCKILY NOT HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS IS ALSO ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE AS THE VEHICLE CAN NOT BE PROPERLY SECURED/LOCKED. AN INTRUDER CAN EASILY GAIN ACCESS TO THE VEHICLE, HIDE IN THE BACK AND THEN ATTACK THE DRIVER OR OCCUPANTS. THEY CAN ALSO STEAL THE VEHICLE OR ITS COMPONENTS OR PERSONAL BELONGINGS. ON THE INTERNET THERE ARE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ACROSS VARIOUS MESSAGE BOARDS, AND CONSUMER COMPLAINT WEBSITES REGARDING THIS VERY ISSUE. JEEP HAS ADMITTED TO USING FAULTY/DEFECTIVE PARTS, BUT REFUSES TO REPLACE THEM AT WILL. THEY WILL ONLY REPLACE AND COVER THE COST OF THIS REPLACEMENT IF, AND ONLY IF, IT IS EITHER IN WARRANTY OR THE EXTENDED WINDOW WARRANTY WHICH IS 7 YEARS FROM VEHICLE IN SERVICE DATE. FOR THE 2006 JEEP LIBERTY, THIS WARRANTY IS EXPIRING EVERY DAY DURING 2013. *TR

Summary

THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE HAD FILLED THE TANK UP ON OUR 2006 JEEP LIBERTY SINCE WE PURCHASED IT ON JUNE 7, 2013. WHILE STANDING AT THE PUMP WAITING FOR THE TANK TO FILL UP, THE TANK STARTED OVERFLOWING WITH GAS. I HAD GAS ALL OVER ME, THE CAR, AND THE GROUND. I WROTE IT OFF AS BEING A PROBLEM WITH THE PUMP. 1 WEEK LATER I GO TO A DIFFERENT PUMP TO FILL IT UP, AND IT HAPPENS AGAIN. SO I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THAT SERVICES MY VEHICLES AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM AND WE TOOK IT IN FOR THEM TO LOOK AT. THEY SAID THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM BUT JEEP WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE. I STARTED LOOKING ON JEEP FORUMS AND HAVE FOUND QUITE A FEW INSTANCES OF THIS SAME PROBLEM ON THE JEEP LIBERTY AND THESE PEOPLE HAVE ALSO FILED CLAIMS TO THE NHTSA. THE ONLY WAY FOR THE PROBLEM TO BE FIXED IS FOR THE TANK TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THERE IS A CHECK VALVE IN THE TANK THAT IS CAUSING THIS. THIS IS A VERY COSTLY REPAIR AS I HAVE CALLED A COUPLE OF DEALERSHIPS AROUND IN THE ARE WITH THE TANK ALONE COSTING OVER $1,400 DOLLARS. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT JEEP REFUSES TO FIX. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *TR

Summary

HAD LOWER BALL JOINTS REPLACED DUE TO RECALL NOTICE. THE UPPER BALL JOINTS ARE DETERIORATING JUST LIKE THE LOWER BALL JOINTS. THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM THAT THE LOWER BALL JOINTS WERE EXPERIENCING, THE UPPER BALL JOINTS ARE ALSO DOING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE JEEP LIBERTY HAS SERIOUS SUSPENSION PROBLEMS. WHEN I SPOKE TO THE JEEP/CHRYSLER COOPERATION, THEY WERE UNWILLING TO ASSIST IN FIXING THE PROBLEM. WHEN COMPLETING RESEARCH, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2006 JEEP LIBERTIES. JEEP FAILS TO RECOGNIZE THAT THE UPPER BALLS JOINTS ARE SUBJECT TO THE SAME CORROSION PROBLEMS AS THE LOWER BALL JOINTS. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE JEEP COMPANY FOR THE LACK OF ATTENTION AND ASSISTANCE FOR SUCH A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED THE EPA,[XXX] AND THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAD CHRYSLER ISSUE A RECALL TO FIX THIS ISSUE. HOWEVER MY VEHICLE YEAR FALLS OUT OF THE RECALL DATES LISTED. WE I SPOKE WITH THEM THEY SAID TO CONTACT YOU GUYS BECAUSE THERE IS NOT AS MANY OF MY VEHICLE YEARS TO EXPAND THE RECALL. I FEEL THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND NEED HELP WITH TRYING TO GET A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE YEAR. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO OUR LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY WANT TO PAY FOR A BRAND NEW GAS TANK AT $500.00+ AND I DON'T FEEL THAT BECAUSE I OWN A 06 AND NOT AN 07 OR 08 THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS DEFECT.

HE STATED THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THAT PART IN STOCK AND THAT HE WOULD NOT ORDER THE PART UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED TO SEE IF IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WELL DUH! IF I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER STATING THAT THE PART NEEDS TO BE REPLACED THEN THE PART SHOULD BE ORDERED AND WAITING FOR ME.

I GOT USED TO THIS BUT NOW THE SERVICE LIGHT POPS ON AND THE GASCAP WARING APPEARS IN THE ODOMETER WINDOW. SPOKE TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO SAID THAT IT WOULD COST ABOUT $1200 TO GET IT REPLACED AT MY OWN EXPENSE. THE OTHER ISSE IS THAT I HAD TO REPLACE THREE (3) REGULATORS FOR MY REAR WINDOWS (2 ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND ONE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE) IF THERE HAVE BEEN OVER 300+ COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS, WHY HASN'T CHRYSLER RECALL THE VEHICLE TO TAKE CARE OF THESE PROBLEMS. *TR

VEHICLE STARTED EXHIBITING A CYL #3 MISFIRE SHOWING CODE P0303 AND ALL THE SIGNS INCLUDED IN TSB 09-007-06. WAS ALSO DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER AND HAVING DEFECTIVE CYLINDER VALVES AND VALVE LOCKS. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THEY REFUSE TO ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT ABOUT IT. THIS ISSUE IS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO PRODUCE MORE EMISSIONS AND WASTE MORE GAS WHILE IT RUNS INCORRECTLY ALSO CAUSING PREMATURE DAMAGE TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER.

Summary

WHILE DRIVING A PASSENGER ON THE REAR LEFT SIDE OF MY CAR ATTEMPTED TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW. WE THEN HEARD A POP AND THE WINDOW WAS HALF WAY DOWN AND BEGAN TO FALL. WE WERE ABLE TO KEEP THE WINDOW FROM FALLING INTO THE DOOR. THE MOTOR CONTINUED TO SOUND AS IF IT WAS WORKING BUT WOULD NOT ALLOW THE WINDOW TO GO UP OR DOWN. APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS LATER THE REAR RIGHT SIDE WINDOW WAS BEING ROLLED DOWN AND WE AGAIN HEARD A POPPING SOUND AND THE WINDOW AGAIN WOULD NOT ROLL UP OR DOWN. AFTER RESEARCH IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE AND DUE TO HAVING TWO OUT OF FOUR WINDOWS ON MY CAR ALONE EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM IT SEEMS VERY STRANGE TO ME THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED AS A RECALL AND IS COSTING OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES OVER $400 PER WINDOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE RISK OF SOMEONE BREAKING IN TO A VEHICLE AND ALSO THE RISK OF THE WINDOW FALLING AND BREAKING PUTTING ANYONE IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE VEHICLE AT RISK OF INJURY, INCLUDING MY DAUGHTER. *TR

PREVIOUSLY WAS REIMBURSED BY CHRYSLER FOR REPAIRS, BUT NOW THEY'VE 'CHANGED THEIR POLICY' (REALLY????). THIS WILL COST ME $375 AT MY OWN SHOP AS OPPOSED TO $508 AT THE JEEP DEALERSHIP. I WOULDN'T CARE IF IT WAS TWICE THE PRICE, I'M NOT GIVING JEEP A DIME! THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ITEM, THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES. *TR

I WAS LEAVING MY BANK AND ENTERED MY VEHICLE AND PROCEEDED TO START IT WITH MY KEY. MY KEY TURNED AND WOULD NOT START MY VEHICLE. MY BATTERY IS ABOUT A 1 MONTH OLD AND I CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS A LOOSE CONNECTION OR CORROSION (CONNECTION TIGHT AND NO CORROSION). I CHECKED ALL FLUIDS (FINE), I JUST HAD OIL, OIL FILTER AND BREATHER FILTER CHANGED A FEW WEEKS AGO AND THEY CHECK ALL FLUIDS. I TURNED LITES, WIPERS, TURN SIGNALS AND RADIO ON (WORKED FINE), HORN WORKED. WITH MY KEY IN THE IGNITION, I HAD NO PROBLEM TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. I OPENED MY DRIVER'S DOOR AND SAW IT SHOW UP AS "DOOR" ON THE DASH PANEL AND NOTICED ENGINE LITE ON. I DEPRESSED AND HELD BRAKE PEDAL DOWN AND WAS ABLE TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND BACK TO PARK WITH NO PROBLEM. I HAD A FRIEND COME AND LOOK AT MY LIBERTY, AND HE CHECKED AND DID EVERYTHING I DID. WE BOTH THOUGHT IT WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH. I INFORMED THE BANK THAT I WAS HAVING CAR PROBLEMS AND HAVE TO LEAVE IT IN THEIR PARKING LOT OVER NITE. I HAD THE JEEP LIBERTY TOWED TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP IN STUART FLORIDA THE NEXT DAY (12/12/2012). THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE PIN IN THE IGNITION SWITCH BROKE OFF AND FELL INSIDE AND THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE STEERING COLUMN. AND IT WOULD COST OVER $1000.00. I WAS INFORMED THE NEXT DAY (12/13/2012) THAT THEY COULD NOT LOCATE A NEW STEERING COLUMN AND THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN WITH A USED ONE. NOW IT WILL COST $800.00. I RESEARCHED AND NOTICED THAT OTHER JEEP LIBERTY OWNERS HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. I HOPE I AM NOT BEING SCAMMED. MY JEEP LIBERTY HAS ABOUT 50000 MILES ON IT. AS I THINK ABOUT IT, WOULDN'T THE IGNITION SWITCH NEED TO BE REPLACED AND NOT THE WHOLE STEERING COLUMN? MY JEEP IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP AND I HOPE TO GET IT BACK ON 12/17/2012. *TR

IT JUST SLIPS DOWN INTO THE WINDOW SPACE LEAVING ME WITH AN OPEN WINDOW WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE IN THE RAIN. THE SAME THING HAPPENED TWO YEARS AGO TO BOTH REAR WINDOWS TO THE SAME VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THERE WAS A DEFECT IN THE 2006 JEEP LIBERTY'S WHERE THIS HAPPENS. IT APPEARS THE WINDOWS AND PART THAT RAISES AND LOWERS THE WINDOW IS ONE UNIT WHICH IS MADE OF PLASTIC. APPARENTLY IT IS VERY CHEAP AND FRAGILE AND BREAKS FOR NO REASON. YOU HAVE TO BUY THE WHOLE WINDOW/MECHANICAL ASSEMBLY AND IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE. PLEASE HELP ME GET MY WINDOW FIXED. *TR

Summary

THE WINDOW REGULATORS IN MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY HAVE BROKEN AND FALLEN DOWN 10 DIFFERENT TIMES IN THE PAST 4 YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST 9 TIMES WERE BOTHERSOME AND ABOUT 450.00 EACH TO GET FIXED BUT THIS LAST ONE IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE A 10 WEEK OLD BABY AND THE WINDOW DECIDED TO FALL DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF A STORM AND I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE INTERSTATE TO PULL THE WINDOW BACK UP TO STOP THE FLOOD OF RAIN THAT WAS FALLING ON MY (AT THE TIME) 8 WEEK OLD BABY. MY BABY WAS SCREAMING HIS HEAD OFF AS I AM SURE THAT MUCH RAIN COMING IN THE WIDE OPENED WINDOW AT 50-60 (WAS DRIVING SLOWER DUE TO LOW VISIBILITY IN STORM) MILES AN HOUR DID NOT FEEL GOOD. I HAD TO FIND THE RIGHT TIME TO PULL OFF THE ROAD THEN CLIMB IN BACK, UNDO CAR SEAT, SLIDE IT OVER AND DUCT TAPE THE WINDOW. I WAS ALONE AND THEN HAD TO REATTACH THE CAR SEAT TO THE BASE AND DRY OFF MY INFANT. I AM THANKFUL THAT NO ONE HIT US WHILE I WAS PARKED ON THE INTERSTATE IN A RAINSTORM WITH MY CHILD NOT BUCKLED IN TO THE CAR. I WAS IN A PANIC TRYING TO FIX THIS. NOW JEEP IS REFUSING TO FIX THIS FREE OF CHARGE DUE TO LACK OF RECALL. PLEASE MAKE THEM RECALL THIS DEFECTIVE PART SO THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. I LIVE IN MOBILE, AL AND IT IS SCORCHING HOT AND I CAN'T BE DRIVING HIM AROUND WITH THE WINDOW DOWN. ALSO, IT DOESN'T STAY UP FOR MORE THAN A DAY WITH THE DUCT TAPE BECAUSE OF THE HEAT MELTING THE GLUE ON THE TAPE. IT'S JUST DANGEROUS. *TR

Summary

THE GAS TANK SHOOTS A LARGE QUANTITY OF FUEL OUT EACH TIME WHEN REFUELING, WHICH COVERS THE REAR QUARTER PANEL OF THE VEHICLE IN GASOLINE AS WELL AS THE PERSON PUMPING. THIS OCCURS CONSISTENTLY, EACH TIME THE VEHICLE IS FILLED REGARDLESS OF FACTORS SUCH AS PUMP SPEED, TEMPERATURE, DEPTH OR POSITION OF THE NOZZLE. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO TIME FUELING SO THAT THE TANK IS NOT FULL SO THIS DOES NOT OCCUR. THIS IS A SAFETY HARD DUE TO THE INABILITY OF THE GAS TANK TO HOLD THE GASOLINE, WHICH WOULD BE DANGEROUS IN THE EVENT OF EVEN A MINOR ACCIDENT. IT IS ALSO HAZARDOUS FOR THE VEHICLE AND INDIVIDUAL TO BE COVERED IN A HIGHLY FLAMMABLE SUBSTANCE SUCH AS GASOLINE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. MANY OTHER DRIVERS OF THIS MODEL ALSO SAY THIS HAPPENS CONTINUALLY, THAT IT IS A CONSISTENT DEFECT AMONG OTHERS ACROSS THESE MODELS AND CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS REFUSE TO FIX THE ISSUE. *TR

THE WINDOWS ON MY JEEP LIBERTY FALL FROM THE TRACK FOR NO REASON. THEY FALL WHEN I DON'T EVEN USE THEM. THEY HAVE BEEN FIXED AT LEAST 5 TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE JEEP. THE NEW PART THAT THEY INSTALL IS APPARENTLY DEFECTIVE BECAUSE THEY ONLY LAST FOR A YEAR AND THEN THEY BREAK AGAIN. THIS SHOULD BE LISTED AS A RECALL SINCE I HAVE SEEN THOUSANDS OF OWNERS OF THIS JEEP COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM, SOME HAVING FIXED THE WINDOWS 12 OR MORE TIMES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL BECAUSE THE WINDOWS SUDDENLY FALLING DOWN FOR NO REASON CAN CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL AND ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SOMEONE CAN REACH IN YOUR CAR AND HARM YOU OR CREATE A CARJACKING ISSUE.

Summary

THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE HAD FILLED THE TANK UP ON OUR 2006 JEEP LIBERTY SINCE WE PURCHASED IT ON MAY 29,2012. WHILE STANDING AT THE PUMP WAITING FOR THE TANK TO FILL UP, THE TANK STARTED OVERFLOWING WITH GAS. I HAD GAS ALL OVER ME, THE CAR, AND THE GROUND. I WROTE IT OFF AS BEING A PROBLEM WITH THE PUMP. TWO WEEKS LATER I GO TO A DIFFERENT PUMP TO FILL IT UP, AND IT HAPPENS AGAIN. SO I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THAT WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM AND WE TOOK IT IN FOR THEM TO LOOK AT. THEY REPLACED A CANISTER AND LEAK PROTECTION GUARD, WHICH DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I STARTED LOOKING ON JEEP FORUMS AND HAVE FOUND QUITE A FEW INSTANCES OF THIS SAME PROBLEM ON THE JEEP LIBERTY AND THESE PEOPLE HAVE ALSO FILED CLAIMS TO THE NHSTA. THE ONLY WAY FOR THE PROBLEM TO BE FIXED IS FOR THE TANK TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THERE IS A CHECK VALVE IN THE TANK THAT IS CAUSING THIS. THIS IS A VERY COSTLY REPAIR AS I HAVE CALLED A COUPLE OF DEALERSHIPS AROUND IN THE ARE WITH THE TANK ALONE COSTING OVER $1,400 DOLLARS. *JB

THIS REPAIR COST OVER $1000 AND HAD TO BE DONE AS A SECURITY ISSUE WOULD EXIST WITH AN OPEN SUNROOF THAT IS NOT ABLE TO BE CLOSED. CONTACTED CHRYSLER JEEP AND THEY REFUSED TO COVER ANY OF THE COST FOR THIS DEFECTIVE PART. *JB

Summary

THIS PROBLEM PERTAINS TO THE 2006 JEEP LIBERTY CRD 2.8L DIESEL. UNDER ACCELERATION FROM 55 MPH TO 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WOULD NOT GO OVER 3,000 RPM. WHEN THE VEHICLE SLOWED TO 45 MPH, IT WOULD NOT INCREASE SPEED, EFFECTIVELY IN A "LIMP-IN MODE" . AFTER THE VEHICLE STOPPED, THE ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES THEN RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE TRAVELED FOR APPROXIMATELY 5-7 MILES WITH NO PROBLEMS THEN THE INCIDENT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE JEEP DEALER WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND AFTER TWO WEEKS THE DEALER BASICALLY GAVE UP TRYING TO FIX THE CAR. THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN FIXED AND AS I SCAN THE INTERNET I FIND THIS IS A COMMON YET DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

Summary

MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY HAS A DEFECTIVE GAS TANK. WHEN FILLING THE TANK COMPLETELY FULL, THE FUEL PUMP NOZZLE WILL SHUT OFF ONLY TO HAVE GASOLINE COME POURING OUT OF THE TANK ONTO ME, MY CLOTHES, THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE, AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. AFTER INVESTIGATING THE PROBLEM, IT TURNS OUT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. JEEP SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR INSTALLING GAS TANKS THAT ARE DEEMED TO FAIL. THE COST OF THIS GAS TANK ALONE, QUOTED BY THE DEALERSHIP IS $1400.00, AND THE FILLER LINE IS AN ADDITIONAL $300.00. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. ENGINE PROBLEMS ARE ONE THING, PARTS DUE WEAR OVER TIME AND THIS IS UNDERSTANDABLE. BUT TO HAVE A GAS TANK THAT IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS BY SPEWING GASOLINE AT CONSUMERS AND BEING AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. AND CHRYSLER/DODGE/JEEP NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR FAULTY MANUFACTURING IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. AND LETS NOT FORGET THAT THE GOVERNMENT SPENT MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO BALE THEM OUT, WHICH TURNS OUT TO BE TAXPAYERS MONEY, OUR MONEY, AND THEY WON'T STAND BY THEIR PRODUCTS. SHAME ON YOU!! LOOKS LIKE I'LL BE PURCHASING A TOYOTA FJ CRUISER INSTEAD OF AN AMERICAN MADE CLASSIC IN THE FUTURE. THANKS FOR NOTHING JEEP

Summary

THE FABRIC OF ALL OF THE SEATS IN MY JEEP STAIN EXTREMELY EASILY. EVEN WATER STAINS THE SEATS BEYOND REPAIR. YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW DIFFICULT THIS IS LIVING IN NEW ORLEANS WHERE IT RAINS OFTEN. I HAVE HAD THE SEATS PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED 5+ TIMES AND I WORK VERY HARD TO KEEP THEM CLEAN, BUT STILL NOTHING HELPS. THEY ARE NOW DISCOLORED AND HAVE A FOUL SMELL FROM JUST THE WATER DROPLETS ALONE. I HAVE A COUPLE FRIENDS THAT ALSO HAVE THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE AND THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE INTEGRITY OF THE SEAT FABRIC. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS. THIS FLAW REDUCES THE VALUE OF MY CAR AND GIVES A BAD REPUTATION TO THE JEEP NAME, AS WELL AS UNDERPLAYS THE QUALITY THAT IS NORMALLY ASSUMED WHEN PURCHASING A JEEP VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM THAT IS OCCURRING DUE TO THE MISUSE OF THE SEAT OR LACK OF TRYING TO PRESERVE THEIR INTEGRITY. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE THE DAY I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW. IT WAS ONLY AFTER SEEING MANY OTHER OWNERS FILING WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT, I DECIDED TO SPEAK UP SO THAT SOMETHING CAN BE DONE TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION. IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO TO FIX MY SEATS, I OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS BECAUSE EVERY CLEANING PRODUCT/ SERVICE I HAVE TRIED HAS FAILED. MY SEATS (ONCE BEIGE/GREY COLORED) ARE NOW BROWN IN PATCHES, SLIGHTLY MISFORMED ON THE SEATS, AND RETAINING AN UNPLEASANT ODOR (IM ASSUMING FROM THE FABRIC SOAKING UP AND RETAINING ANY FLUID THAT TOUCHES IT). ALSO, NOT JUST FLUIDS STAIN THE SEATS (WHILE THAT IS MY MAIN CONCERN). ANYTHING THAT CAN LEAVE A MARK ON A SEAT, DOES SO AND IT IS PERMANENT NO MATTER WHAT I TRY. THIS INCLUDES, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO, FOODS, PENCIL MARKS, DYE FROM CLOTHES (YES IT SOMEHOW GETS RUBBED ONTO THE SEATS WHILE SITTING AND THE FABRIC RETAINS IT, WHICH I HAVE NEVER SEEN HAPPEN IN ANY OTHER CAR BEFORE), DEODORANT AND/OR CAR SPRAYS FOR IMPROVING SCENT. *TR

Summary

THE REAR WINDOW REGULATORS IN THE 06 JEEP LIBERTY ARE FAILING AT AN ALARMING RATE. OURS HAS HAD BOTH BREAK ONCE AND THE DRIVES SIDE TWICE NOW. I HAVE CONTACTED JEEP WITH MY FRUSTRATIONS WITH ZERO HELP. THERE ARE COUNTLESS CLAIMS ONLINE, WITH FRIENDS, ACQUAINTANCES, AND EVEN MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER (EASTON, MD) THAT ALL SUPPORT THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE. I HAVE AGAIN BEEN TOLD THAT THERE WILL BE NO RECALL BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. I DISAGREE STRONGLY!! WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE WINDOW REGULATOR FAILS, THE WINDOW DROPS. WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE IS SOMETHING LEANING UP AGAINST THE WINDOW, A CHILD IN THAT SEAT, A PET? THE RISKS ARE HUGE TO THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD SHOULD SOMETHING FALL OUT. THE OTHER THING THAT IS VERY ALARMING IS THAT EVERYTHING IS BEGINNING TO PRESENT ITSELF AT A SIMILAR TIME FOR THE VEHICLES SHOWING SIGNS OF THE PROBLEM. JEEP CLAIMS IT IS DUE TO PLASTIC PARTS FAILING DUE TO NOT ENOUGH USE?? THIS MAKES NO SENSE. TO SUPPORT MY CLAIM THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE AFFECTING A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE AND CLEARLY NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE, PLEASE SEE THE WEB SITES LISTED BELOW.

ON EACH FILL UP, GASOLINE SHOOTS OUT OF THE NOZZLE RECEPTOR. THIS OCCURS WITH THE OPERATOR HOLDING THE HANDLE IN OR WITH THE LATCH PUSHED DOWN TO HOLD THE HANDLE DOWN. APPROXIMATELY A QUARTER CUP OF FUEL SHOOTS OUT OF THE TANK UPON OVERFILL. I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL DEALERS AND THE DEALER INSISTS THE TANK HAS BEEN COMPROMISED BY "ETHANOL BASED" FUELS. I HAVE NEVER FILLED UP WITH ANYTHING BUT 87 OCTANE. THE DEALER WANTS ME TO PAY $5000 FOR A NEW GAS TANK. THIS OCCURS AT EVERY GAS STATION AND I HAVE TRIED TO FILL THE TANK ON THE SLOWEST SETTING. NEITHER METHOD HELPS THE OVERFILLING. THIS IS NOT ONLY A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME, BUT AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. *TR

THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT. GETTING READY TO RETURN MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY (4X4) TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP FOR THE 8TH TIME. ENGINE HESITATES, LOSES POWER AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONSTANTLY COMES AND STAYS ON. THEY HAVE ALREADY DONE THE FOLLOWING: REPLACED O2 SENSORS, PLUGS (THREE TIMES), RUN NUMEROUS DIAGNOSTICS, REPLACED LEFT SIDE VALUES, REPLACED LEFT SIDE CYLINDER BLOCK, REPLACED RIGHT SIDE CYLINDER BLOCK AND ALSO REPLACED THE LEFT SIDE CYLINDER BLOCK THEY REPLACED THE TIME BEFORE, REPLACED TIMING HOUSING GASKET, AND WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE. CHRYSLER AND MECHANICS CAN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. ALL MY RESEARCH SAYS THIS ENGINE IS FAULTY AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ENGINE AND VEHICLE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. AFTER THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS SPENT, NOTHING HAS BEEN RESOLVED. AFTER OVER TWO MONTHS WITH 5 DIFFERENT CHRYSLER CASE MANAGERS, THEY ONLY WANT TO GIVE ME $350 FOR THIS PROBLEM. NO CONSUMER SHOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE TAXPAYERS HAVE BAILED OUT THIS COMPANY. *TR

Summary

HI, I HAVE OWNED THIS JEEP LIBERTY SINCE 2008 AND BOUGHT IT WITH 2700 MILES ON IT. THE PROBLEM I HAVE AND MANY OTHERS HAVE IS WITH THE FILLER NECK ON THE FUEL TANK. IT OVERFLOWS GAS EVERY TIME YOU FILL. EVEN IF I SLOW IT AT THE APPROX TIME THE METER SAYS IT SHOULD BE GETTING FULL. THE INTERNET RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THE NEW GAS TANK ASSEMBLY FROM JEEP HAS A NEW/FIXED SAFETY VALVE IN THE FILLER NECK THAT IS SUPPOSED TO HELP WITH A ROLLOVER ACCIDENT BUT APPARENTLY SLAPS SHUT WHEN FILLING CAUSING THE GAS PUKE ON CLOTHES, SHOES, GROUND, ETC. IT IS NOT GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, POCKET BOOK, OR OTHER PEOPLE AT THE GAS STATION AS SPILLED GAS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN. IT IS A CHRONIC FAILURE AND JEEP SHOULD DO SOMETHING. SELL PART AT LOSS/SEVERE DISCOUNT, REPLACE FOR FREE WOULD BE NICE, ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM IS A BIG ISSUE AND STAND UP AND FIX IT EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT THE CLASSIC, "THIS CAUSES ACCIDENTS AND WE BETTER DO SOMETHING SO WE DON'T GET SUED" TYPE OF SAFETY RECALL. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR THE HELP. *TR

TWO WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY, THE REAR LEFT WINDOW DROPPED AND COULD NOT BE ROLLED UP OR DOWN. IT WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. THE NEXT TIME IT WAS THE RIGHT REAR WINDOW AND IT COST $429.26. THREE WEEKS LATER THE REAR LEFT WINDOW DROPPED AGAIN. THIS TIME WE CONTACTED JEEP/CHRYSLER AND WERE TOLD THAT ALTHOUGH THE WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM HAD BEEN EXTENDED FOR THE 2006 JEEP LIBERTY THAT MINE WAS NOT INCLUDED BECAUSE IT WAS BUILT IN OCTOBER/2005. THE AGENT SAID NOTHING COULD BE DONE AND THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE TO TALK TO - IT WAS A FINAL DECISION. I CALLED BACK AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PREVIOUS CUSTOMER SERVICE AGENT DIDN'T FOLLOW PROCEDURE AND WAS "STUNNED" AT THE WAY I WAS TREATED AND I WAS THEN ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER AND A CASE MANAGER. THERE HAVE NOW BEEN 14 PHONE CALLS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN RESOLVED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. SMALL CHILDREN RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT THAT COULD GET OUT OF SAFETY RESTRAINTS AND BE IN DANGER. THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE LOCKED UP AND SECURED AND IT'S SCARY TO HAVE TO GET INSIDE AN UNSECURED VEHICLE AT NIGHT. THE INTERIOR IS BEING DESTROYED BY CONSTANTLY BEING RAINED AND SNOWED UPON IN A REGION OF THE COUNTRY THAT HAS MORE COLD AND WET WEATHER THAN ANYTHING ELSE. JEEP REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, NO STANDARD POLICY BEING FOLLOWED BY JEEP TO GET THIS MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT FIXED, AND NO RECALL FOR A PROBLEM THAT HAPPENS OVER AND OVER AGAIN ON THE SAME VEHICLE. IF JEEP WILL NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR PRODUCT, THEN CONSUMERS SHOULD UNITE A FILE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BECAUSE THE WAY JEEP IS HANDLING THIS IS JUST PLAIN WRONG. *TR

MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY HAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE WINDOW REGULATORS AND LIFT PLATES. JUNE 1, 2010, WAS THE FIRST REGULATOR TO GO OUT. THE SECOND ONE WENT OUT SHORTLY AFTER THAT. NOW THE FIRST ONE HAS DROPPED AGAIN. THE FIRST TIME, I PAID OVER $400 FOR THE REPAIR. THE SECOND ONE WAS COVERED BY CHRYSLER COMPLETELY, AND THEY REIMBURSED ME $333 FOR THE FIRST REPAIR WHEN THE SECOND REPAIR WAS DONE. THEY ARE GOING TO "CONSIDER" REIMBURSING ME FOR THIS THIRD ONE, BUT I HAVE TO JUMP THROUGH ALL OF THEIR HOOPS FOR IT TO BE CONSIDERED. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT IS AFFECTING MANY MANY LIBERTY OWNERS. THERE SHOULD BE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THESE REGULATORS AND PLATES. MY DAUGHTER IS DRIVING THIS CAR AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE CONCERNED WITH WHETHER HER WINDOWS ARE GOING TO STAY UP. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. NHTSA SHOULD DEMAND THAT CHRYSLER EITHER RECALL THESE OR AT BARE MINIMUM PUT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON ALL LIBERTYS FOR THESE PARTS. UGH. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. OH, AND WE BOUGHT THE CAR USED IN NOVEMBER 2009. FOR ALL WE KNOW, MULTIPLE REGULATORS MIGHT HAVE BEEN PUT ON THIS CAR IN ITS FIRST 36,000 MILES BEFORE WE BOUGHT IT. *KB

I WAS GIVEN A PHONE NUMBER TO A DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD I HAVE WARRANTY ON THE WINDOWS THAT ONLY COVER THE LIST PLATE (IF THAT'S THE PROBLEM) FOR MY BACK WINDOW ONLY. THE PROBLEM AFTER RESEARCHING IT THIS MORNING ON THE INTERNET IS THE REGULATORS IN THE WINDOWS WHICH ARE VERY COSTLY TO REPAIR APPROX. $260 PER WINDOW. IN THIS ECONOMY I CAN'T AFFORD TO REPAIR THIS AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BECAUSE THERE IS SOME KIND OF MAL-FUNCTION WITH THE PARTS INSIDE OF THE WINDOWS.

I E RECALL MAKE JEEP REPAIR THE PROBLEM, INSTEAD OF THE CUSTOMER HAVING TO PAY $750.OO EACH TIME IT HAPPENS, ALL OVER A $.50 PIECE.

Summary

THE REAR AUTOMATIC WINDOWS ON MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY FALL DOWN INTO THE DOOR PANEL AND CANNOT BE RAISED WITH THE REGULATOR. THIS HAPPENED TO ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND FORCED ME TO DRIVE WITH AN OPEN WINDOW DURING A STORM HEAVY RAIN, THE REAR INTERIOR OF MY CAR WAS DAMAGED. I HAVE HAD THE REAR WINDOWS REPAIRED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM MULTIPLE TIMES, AND THEY CONTINUE TO BREAK, AT TIMES THAT ARE UNSAFE. IT ALSO PREVENTS ME FROM PROPERLY SECURING THE VEHICLE FROM THEFT UNTIL I CAN GET TO THE DEALER AND THEY CAN "REPAIR" IT WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART OVER AND OVER AGAIN. YOU HAVE SO MANY COMPLAINTS FROM MANY CONSUMERS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLE, BUT NO RECALL. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR A DEATH? *TT

Summary

THIS IS TO REPORT A FAULTY PART ON THE WINDOW REGULATOR. THREE TIMES MINE HAS FAILED. TWICE THE LEFT REAR WINDOW HAS FALLEN INTO THE DOOR DUE TO A REGULATOR WHICH WAS FAULTY AND ON THE THIRD OCCASION IS WAS THE RIGHT REAR WINDOW THAT FELL. LUCKY FOR ME, I WAS STOPPED WHEN MY WINDOWS DROPPED. WHEN THE PART FAILS, THE GLASS JUST FALLS DOWN INTO THE DOOR. THE COST TO REPAIR IS $750. AT THE DEALER BECAUSE YOU MUST REPLACE THE WHOLE REGULATOR, YOU CANNOT REPLACE JUST THE FIFTY CENT PART. THE ALTERNATIVE WHICH MOST PEOPLE DO IS TO TAPE THE WINDOW GLASS UP WHICH OBSCURES THE VISION AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS IS A CHRONIC PROBLEM THAT JEEP HAS KNOWN ABOUT FOR YEARS. IMAGINE A MOTHER DRIVING WITH A CHILD IN THE REAR CAR SEAT IN A HEAVY RAINSTORM AND PASSES A TRACTOR TRAILER AT NORMAL SPEEDS. THE WINDOW FAILS AND FALLS. YOU THEN HAVE HEAVY RAIN AND DEBRIS COMING INTO THE REAR WINDOW. THE MOTHER PANICS AS SHE IS CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING TO HER CHILD AND VEERS INTO THE TRACTOR TRAILER. THESE VEHICLES NEED TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. THE FAULTY PLASTIC SLIDES NEED TO BE REDESIGNED AND REPLACED WITH A METAL SLIDE WITH NEOPRENE GUIDES. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM - A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH WILL YIELD HUNDREDS OF OTHER INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE ENCOUNTERED THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE SAVED THE PARTS FROM MY DOOR IF YOU WISH TO INSPECT THEM.

THIS WILL BE THE FOURTH YEAR THAT I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW MECHANISM IN MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. EACH YEAR, THE MECHANISM HAS FAILED WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND NOT RUNNING (AUGUST 2007, JUNE 2009, JULY 2010, JUNE 2011). I HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS A RECALL FOR SOME MODELS OF JEEP'S TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BUT NOT FOR MY VIN GROUP. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I CANNOT SECURE MY VEHICLE WHILE I AM AWAY AND SOMEONE WOULD BE ABLE TO GET INTO MY VEHICLE AND COULD BE WAITING FOR ME TO COME BACK. ALSO, THE INTEGRITY OF THE INTERIOR IS COMPROMISED IF AN ACCIDENT WOULD OCCUR DUE TO THE WINDOW NOT BEING UP. THE WINDOW MECHANISM HAS BEEN REPLACED EACH YEAR BUT WITH THE SAME PART. NO MODIFICATIONS HAVE BEEN DONE TO HELP ENSURE THIS PROBLEM WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. I HAVE CALLED JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD TO USE THIS WEBSITE TO LODGE MY COMPLAINT. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIPS HAVE BEEN VERY HELPFUL WITH RESOLVING THIS PROBLEM EACH YEAR. *TR

WHEN WE TRIED TO PUT THE WINDOW BACK UP, IT DID NOT MOVE BUT THE MOTOR KEPT SPINNING. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE I USUALLY HAVE MY CHILD RIDING IN THE BACKSEAT AND STUFF CAN FLY INTO THE CAR AND CAUSE INJURIES. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED IT FOR AROUND $400. THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM AS BEING COMMON BUT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF A RECALL OR EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WAS GIVEN TO OLDER MODELS. I CALLED THE NATIONAL CHRYSLER HOTLINE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY CAN NOT ESCALATE MY ISSUE UNLESS IT OCCURRED MORE OFTEN. *TR

NOT A SAFETY ISSUE?! TELL THAT TO THOSE OF US WITH SMALL CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT AND A WINDOW FALLS DOWN @ 55 MPH! JEEP NEEDS TO REPLACE ALL FOUR WINDOW REGULATORS AND AT THEIR COST, NOT MINE!

Summary

2006 JEEP LIBERTY FUEL OVERFLOW HAZARD. WHEN REFUELING OUR 2006 JEEP LIBERTY, FUEL OVERFLOWS AFTER FUEL PUMP AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF IS TRIGGERED. THIS OVERFLOW NOW OCCURS EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS REFUELED. NO ONE IS ATTEMPTING TO "TOP OFF" THE FUEL TANK. THE OVERFLOW CAUSES A QUANTITY OF FUEL, THAT I ESTIMATE AT TWO TO FOUR CUPS, TO SPILL ON THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. THIS FUEL OVERFLOW FLAW CREATES AN EXTREME FIRE HAZARD AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION RISK. THIS FLAW OCCURS IN THE WRANGLER MODEL OF CHRYSLER JEEP PRODUCTS ALSO, WHERE A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. THE SAME FLAW IS OCCURRING IN MANY THOUSANDS OF JEEP LIBERTY'S AS IS EVIDENT BY THE HUGE VOLUME OF OWNER STATEMENTS POSTED ON MANY WEBSITES. GO CHRYSLER JEEP IN ENGLEWOOD, CO QUOTED A REPAIR COST OF $2031.00 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WHEN THE OVERFLOW FLAW FIRST OCCURRED IN MY JEEP LIBERTY, IT WAS AN OCCASIONAL PROBLEM THAT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO PREDICT AND WITHOUT A RECALL NOTICE, CONSUMERS ARE UNAWARE OF THIS HAZARD. THIS FLAW CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE PERSON REFUELING THE VEHICLE AND ANYONE NEARBY. THE FUEL SPILLED HAS CAUSED PROPERTY DAMAGE IN THE FORM OF RUINED CLOTHING AND SHOES, AND POSSIBLY DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AS FUEL RUNS DOWN THE SIDE INTO CREVICES AROUND THE REAR WHEEL AND AXLE. THIS SPILLED FUEL COULD REACH THE HOT EXHAUST PIPE AND EXPLODE. WHY WOULD THE MANUFACTURER COVER THIS FLAW UNDER WARRANTY FOR ONE MAKE AND MODEL, THE JEEP WRANGLER, AND NOT COVER THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM FOR ANOTHER MAKE AND MODEL, THE JEEP LIBERTY? IT'S THE SAME PROBLEM CREATED BY THE SAME MANUFACTURER. *TR

FOR US IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE WE HAVE A BABY IN THE REAR SEAT WHO WAS EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS. OF COURSE THE CAR COMPANY AND THE DEALERSHIPS STILL CHARGE YOU $150 FOR DIAGNOSTIC (ALTHOUGH THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT IS) AND $100 FOR THE PART PLUS OTHER FEES. SOME PEOPLE I FOUND HAVE HAD ALL WINDOWS REPLACED TO A COST OF APROX $1000 THIS IS NOT FAIR, THEY KNOW THE PART IS DEFECTIVE, THEY SHOULD FIX IT.

THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO HAVE THE SWITCH REPLACED AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 97,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 60,000.

Summary

REAR DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW REGULATOR BROKE AFTER ONLY 40,000 MILES ON A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED 4X4. WINDOW RECEIVED ONLY LIGHT USED, WAS NOT USED WHILE FROZEN WITH ICE. THIS FAILURE RESULTS FROM A PLASTIC PART THAT IS SPECIFIED IN THE REGULATOR DESIGN THAT IS NOT DURABLE ENOUGH FOR THIS APPLICATION. THIS FAILURE RENDERS THE VEHICLE UNSECURE AS THE WINDOW EITHER FALLS DOWN ON ITS OWN OR CAN BE PUSHED DOWN FROM THE OUTSIDE BY HAND. IT ALSO CAUSES A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE WINDOW CAN FALL DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS IS ESPECIALLY AN ISSUE DURING WINTER OR STORM CONDITIONS. INCURRED $250 IN REPAIR COSTS. REPLACEMENT PARTS HAVE THE SAME DESIGN FLAW AND CAN BE EXPECTED FAIL AGAIN IN SIMILARLY SHORT PEROIDS OF TIME. *TR

Summary

MY MOTHER BOUGHT A USED 2006 JEEP LIBERTY HAS NEVER HAD A PROBLEM,SO IN MARCH OF 2010 ME AND MY HUSBAND DECIDED TO PURCHASE A USED 2006 JEEP LIBERTY FROM A TRUSTY CAR DEALER. WITHIN 2 MONTHS OF HAVING THIS JEEP OUR RIGHT REAR WINDOW DROPPED INTO THE DOOR AS WE WERE DRIVING TO A FAMILY FUNCTION. MY BIGGEST FEAR WAS THAT 1 OF OUR 3 KIDS COULD HAVE BEEN HURT BY BROKEN GLASS. MY FATHER REPAIRED THE WINDOW BY WEDGING A PIECE OF WOOD BETWEEN THE DOOR AND THE WINDOW. I LATER CALLED JEEP WHO TOLD ME THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS JEEP AND THAT THEY WOULD GLADLY SPLIT THE COST WITH ME WHICH ONLY COST $600 PER WINDOW AND THEY WON'T WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY KNOW IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I LEFT IT ALONE CAUSE WE COULD NOT AFFORD THIS AT THE TIME. A FEW MONTHS LATER IN NOVEMBER 2010 THE LEFT SIDE REAR WINDOW SLIPPED,ONCE AGAIN MY FATHER REPAIRED IT AT BEST HE COULD. I FINALLY WENT ONLINE TO SEE WHAT I COULD DO REPAIR THE PROBLEM MYSELF AT A CHEAPER COST. I CAME ACROSS A WEB SITE STEIGERS.COM THE GENTLEMAN WHO OWNS THIS COMPANY HAS CREATED A REPLACEMENT PIECE FOR THE BROKEN PART AND IT WORKS GREAT. I REPLACED IT MYSELF WITH NO KNOWLEDGE OF REPAIRING CARS. THE ONLY HARD PART WAS WORKING IN SUCH A TIGHT SPACE..THANK GOD MY HANDS ARE SMALL ENOUGH TO SQUEEZE IN BETWEEN THE DOOR AND THE WINDOW AREA. THE PART IS ABOUT A $100 WITH SHIPPING AND HANDLING AND SO FAR SEEMS TO HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM IT TOOK ABOUT AN HOUR TO DO ALL THE WORK ON 1 WINDOW. THATS NOT OUR ONLY PROBLEM WITH THIS LOVELY VEHICLE WE HAVE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL SPILLING OUT WHEN FILLING THE TANK. THE TANK SEEMS TO BUILD PRESSURE OR CATCH AIR. I DON'T KNOW ALL I KNOW IS IT SCARED ME REALLY BAD THE FIRST TIME.AND WE HAVE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE ESP ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HIT A TURN TO HARD OR HIT A BIG BUMP. HOW WONDERFUL A 4X4 VEHICLE WHO DOESN'T LIKE BIG TURNS,BUMPS OR SNOW. AND THE MOST EXPENSIVE PART IS THE BROKEN WINDOW..THEY TOLD ME ITS CALLED A BINDING CRACK IT HAPPENS TO ALL JEEPS SO DON'T FORCE YOUR JEEP TO DO ITS JOB..AND WORK. *TR

Summary

OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS, I HAVE OCCASIONALLY SMELLED A KEROSENE ODOR WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP LIBERTY DIESEL. TODAY, I READ ABOUT A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL HEATER ON THE LIBERTY DIESEL AND SO I CHECKED THE HEATER ON MY VEHICLE. THE PLASTIC INSULATOR AROUND THE ELECTRICAL PINS OF THE FUEL HEATER CONNECTOR (ON CABLE) IS DISCOLORED AND PARTIALLY MELTED. DOING FURTHER READING THIS EVENING, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS PROBLEM CAN ALSO BE A SOURCE OF FUEL SEEPAGE. ALTHOUGH I DIDN'T SEE ANY EVIDENCE OF FUEL AROUND THE CONNECTOR, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND MAY HAVE BEEN ALSO BEEN THE SOURCE OF THE ODOR I HAVE BEEN SMELLING WHILE DRIVING. I FEEL FORTUNATE TO HAVE DISCOVERED THIS IN A PRE-FAILURE CONDITION AND HAVE NOT (YET) EXPERIENCED A SERIOUS FUEL LEAK, ENGINE FIRE OR ENGINE STOPPAGE DUE TO FUEL SYSTEM FAILURE, I WAS DISAPPOINTED TO LEARN THAT YOUR AGENCY WAS AWARE OF THIS DESIGN PROBLEM BACK IN 2007 (PE07041), BUT CLOSED IT WITH APPARENTLY NO ACTION TAKEN. IN MY OPINION, THIS CONDITION CERTAINLY WARRANTS A MANUFACTURER'S RECALL AND REPAIR. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE PARTIALLY BURNED CONNECTOR ON MY VEHICLE, SHOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN SEEING THEM. IT IS QUITE OBVIOUS THAT THE ELECTRICAL CAPACITY OF THIS CONNECTOR IS BEING EXCEEDED AND IS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW. *TR

Summary

THE JEEP LIBERTY HAS REGULARLY "SPIT" OUT QUANTITIES OF GASOLINE WHILE FILLING UP AT GAS STATIONS. THE QUANTITIES RANGE FROM 1 TO 8 OUNCES, WITH THE QUANTITY THAT POURED OUT TODAY THE LARGEST AMOUNT YET. THE QUANTITIES VARY BY HOW FAST THE PUMP IS PUMPING AND WHETHER THE PUMP IS HAND OPERATED OR ON AUTOMATIC BUT SOME QUANTITY OF GAS COMES OUT ALMOST EVERY TIME. THE SPILL TODAY LEFT AT LEAST 4 TO 6 OUNCES OF GASOLINE ON THE GROUND WHICH IS BOTH AN ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY HAZARD.

Summary

AT THIS FIRST OCCURRENCE, WHILE PULLING OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP PARKING LOT WITH THE VEHICLE, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW DELL INTO THE DOOR. I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY INFORMED ME THEY WOULD FIX IT FREE OF CHARGE. THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE WINDOW FALLING DOWN OCCURRED IN JUNE 2010 ABOUT A YEAR AFTER PURCHASE, AFFECTING THE RIGHT REAR WINDOW, WHICH HAD NOT EVEN BEEN USED. I FOUND OUT THEN THAT THERE WAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE WINDOW REGULATOR IN 2006 & 2007 JEEP LIBERTYS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. THE 3RD OCCURRENCE, WITH THE LEFT REAR WINDOW IN NOVEMBER OF 2010, MADE ME GET ONLINE AND FILE THIS REPORT AFTER CARMAX REFUSED TO HONOR THEIR WARRANTY ON THIS REPAIR AND SENT ME TO JEEP WHO CHARGED 100 DOLLARS FOR IT. CHECKING THE SERVICE HISTORY THROUGH JEEP.COM, I FOUND THAT THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR THIS PROBLEM AT LEAST TWICE WITH THE PREVIOUS OWNER. I WOULD LIKE FOR THE CHRYSLER COMPANY TO TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS AND ISSUE A RECALL, REPAIRING THE PROBLEM IN A WAY THAT IT STAYS FIXED, RATHER THAN REPLACING THE WINDOW REGULATOR WITH MORE FAULTY PARTS AS THEY HAVE BEEN DOING. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS AND DISTRACTING IF IT FALLS WHILE TRAVELLING DOWN THE HIGHWAY OR, IN MY CASE, OVER 2 HOURS FROM HOME IN FREEZING TEMPERATURES WITH A 7 MONTH OLD BABY IN THE SEAT BY THE WINDOW.

I HAVE BOTH THE REAR LAMP AND PLUGS TO SHOW THE DEFECT. I AM NOT THE ISOLATED CASE: MOST LIBERTY OWNERS AND SOME GRAND CHEROKEE OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. MY SECOND COMPLAINT IS A FUEL LEAK AT THE CONNECTION OF THE FUEL HEATING ELEMENT. THE FILTER HEAD WHERE THE FUEL FILTER IS ATTACHED ALSO HAS A HEATING ELEMNT.. THE ELECTIC PLUG CONNECTION AT THE HEAD LEAKED FUEL ONTO THE CONNECTION. I OBSERVED WHEN THE IGNITION WAS TUNED ON, THE FUEL LEAKED AND VAPORIZE AS IT WAS BEING SHORTED AND HEATED. I DISCONNECTED THE ELECTRIC PLUG., FILLED THE FEMALE RECEPTACLE WITH FUEL TANK EPOXY AND RUBBER PLUG FOR GOOD MEASURE. WILL BE REPLACING SCORCHED CONNECTION AND FILTER HEAD AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED WITH APPROXIMATELY 88,000 MILES ON IT. RECENTLY I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE A PROBLEM WHERE THE FUEL PUMP NOZZLE DOES NOT SHUT ITSELF OFF AUTOMATICALLY WHEN MY FUEL TANK IS FULL. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I THOUGHT THIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMP AT THE STATION, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED AT MULTIPLE STATIONS AND EVERY TIME I PUMP FUEL. I'VE JUST BEEN TRYING TO PAY CLOSE ATTENTION AND STOP THE FUEL FLOW BEFORE MY TANK GETS FULL. THIS OVERFLOWING FUEL IS GOING TO DAMAGE THE PAINT ON MY VEHICLE AND IS A FIRE HAZARD AT THE GAS STATION, NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT THE FUEL HAS SPEWED ONTO MY SHOES AND CLOTHING ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE PROGRESSING NOW, AS YESTERDAY WHEN I WENT TO GET FUEL, THE NOZZLE SPEWED IMMEDIATELY UPON BEGINNING TO PUMP (AND THE TANK WAS NEARLY EMPTY AS MY FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR HAD JUST GONE OFF). THE ONLY WAY I COULD GET FUEL INTO MY TANK WAS TO MANUALLY CONTROL THE FLOW WITH THE NOZZLE SO THAT IT WENT INTO THE TANK VERY SLOWLY. I HAVE CONTACTED MY JEEP DEALERSHIP AND HAVE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT LATER THIS WEEK. I'VE READ ABOUT A LOT OF OTHERS WITH THIS ISSUE, AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY WILL NEED TO REPLACE MY FUEL TANK. *TR

Summary

ON MY JEEP LIBERTY THE REAR WINDOW ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE WILL NOT ROLL UP. I DROVE TO FILL UP MY GAS TANK ON TUESDAY EVENING, AND WHEN I WAS REENTERING MY VEHICLE AFTER FILLING UP, I NOTICED THAT THIS WINDOW WAS DOWN. I AM NOT ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE, BUT I HIGHLY DOUBT I WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE TO THE GAS STATION WITHOUT NOTICING THE WIND NOISE WITH THAT WINDOW DOWN. ANYWAYS, I USED THE BUTTON TO TRY AND ROLL IT UP AND IT DIDN'T MOVE. AFTER A COUPLE OF TRIES WITH THE BUTTON, AN ODD GRINDING SOUND STARTED COMING FROM THE DOOR. I GOT OUT AND WENT AROUND TO SEE WHAT WAS HAPPENING. I OPENED THE DOOR AND USED THE REAR BUTTONS TO ROLL IT UP, AND THE NOISE CONTINUED AS WELL AS SOME KIND OF PIPE/WIRE CAME OUT OF THE DOOR. WHEN I TRIED TO GENTLY WIGGLE THE WINDOW TO SEE IF IT WAS BENT OR SOMETHING, THE PART THAT WAS STILL UP SLID INTO THE DOOR (SO THE WHOLE WINDOW IS DOWN NOW AND WON'T ROLL UP). I LIVE IN A DORM AT A HUGE SCHOOL, SO HAVING MY WHOLE CAR EXPOSED BY THIS OPEN WINDOW MAKES ME EXTREMELY NERVOUS. I HAVE TAPED A TRASH BAG OVER IT FOR NOW IN CASE IT RAINS, BUT IT'S AWFULLY LOUD WHEN I'M DRIVING, AND I DOUBT IT WILL LAST MUCH LONGER. I HAVEN'T TAKEN IT TO A DEALER YET BECAUSE I WANTED TO LOOK ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF THIS WAS HAPPENING TO ANYONE ELSE. I'VE SEEN SO MANY COMPLAINTS AND SIMILAR STORIES THAT I AM QUITE UPSET ABOUT THE CIRCUMSTANCES. *TR

I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING AND THEY SAID I COULD BRING IT IN AND DIAGNOSTIC IS $120.00. ARE YOU KIDDING ME????

I AM WRITING TO GIVE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS THROUGHOUT PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, WE HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE POWER WINDOW REGULATOR AND GLASS REPLACED. THE GLASS FALLS INTO THE DOOR AND WILL NOT ROLL UP. THE FIRST TIME, AND EVEN SECOND, I WAS ABLE TO TAKE IT IN STRIDE AND ACCEPT IT, PAYING THE LARGE SUM TO GET IT FIXED. HOWEVER, AS THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN ON AT LEAST 4 OTHER OCCASIONS - TWO OF WHICH HAPPENED WITHIN FIVE DAYS OF EACH OTHER IN MID SEPTEMBER 2010 - I AM QUITE DISCOURAGED. I NOW HAVE ONE WINDOW STILL DOWN - PASSENGER FRONT - AND IT IS CURRENTLY TAPED UP. HOWEVER, IN FLORIDA WEATHER, IT FREQUENTLY MELTS AND FALLS DOWN. THIS LEAVES MY CAR WINDOW DOWN AND EXPOSED IN PUBLIC WHILE I AM AT WORK - WHICH COULD LEAD TO MANY DANGERS. I AM SICK OF TAKING MY CAR IN EVERY FEW MONTHS BECAUSE JEEP CANNOT SIMPLY FIX THIS PROBLEM. I PAID A PRICE FOR MY CAR, AND COULD EASILY HAVE BOUGHT ANOTHER CAR BY NOW WITH THE MONEY I HAVE SPENT ON FIXING THE WINDOWS IN THIS CAR - AROUND 350 TO 500 A POP FOR EACH TIME. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND JEEP SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE DEFAULT. *TR

WHEN THIS HAPPENED 9/15/2010 FOR THE 5TH TIME (3RD TIME ON THE SAME WINDOW) I CALLED THE LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP AND SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER :EXPLAINED THE ISSUE & WANTED TO KNOW WHEN I COULD BRING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED. HE WENT ON TO TELL ME THIS: 'YOU CAN BRING IT IN ANYTIME, THERE IS A $100 DEDUCTIBLE TO HAVE THIS FIXED. ' ( I QUESTIONED WHY, AS THIS WAS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT ON THE MANUFACTURER) HE RESPONDED 'THAT IS WHAT THE CHARGE IS, JUST BE GLAD THAT THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED TO ALL OF YOUR WINDOWS, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2002- CURRENT JEEP LIBERTY. JEEP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO ISSUE A RECALL, NOR ARE THEY GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.' (I WAS SHOCKED THAT I WOULD BE TOLD THIS) 'IF YOU DON'T LIKE THIS WELL, CALL CHRYSLER YOURSELF, HERE IS THE NUMBER 1-800-992-1997.' AFTER I HUNG UP THE PHONE WITH HIM, I CALLED THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP IN FLORIDA TO GET THE EXACT DATES OF THE REPAIRS. RIGHT REAR- 1/28/08 LEFT REAR- 12/20/2006, 7/8/2008, AND 8/13/09. I DID CALL CHRYSLER AND SPOKE TO SOMEONE, RECEIVED A CASE NUMBER, AND WAS TOLD THAT SOMEONE WOULD CONTACT ME IN 24-48 HOURS WITH SOME SORT OF RESOLVE TO THIS. (THAT WAS THURSDAY MORNING.) I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE CASE MANAGER AT CHRYSLER FRIDAY AROUND 9:50AM. THERE WAS A MESSAGE LEFT TO CALL BACK, OR I COULD WAIT FOR THEM TO CALL ME BACK ON MONDAY. CALLED BACK,SPOKE 2 GRETCHEN: SAI THE CASE MANAGER HAD PUT NOTES IN THE CASE WITH THE FOLLOWING: I HAD TO PAY THE $100 UP FRONT AND I COULD SUBMIT ALL THE DOCUMENTS TO BE REIMBURSEDASKED TO SPEAK TO THE CASE MANAGER AND WAS TRANSFERRED TO MATT (WHOM I THOUGHT WAS THE CASE MANAGER). *TR

Summary

2006 JEEP LIBERTY REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW FREE FALLS INTO DOOR. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED ON THE VERY SAME DOOR. THE FIRST TIME, IT WAS FIXED BY THE DEALER AT NO COST (MILEAGE: 19000, FEB., 2008). THIS TIME, AFTER EXPLAINING THAT THE PROBLEM WAS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE FIRST TIME, THE DEALER ASKED FOR $90 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, WHICH I FOUND RIDICULOUS. AFTER A VERY BRIEF INTERNET SEARCH, I FOUND THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM, WHICH MAKES IT EVEN MORE INFURIATING THAT THE DEALER WANTED ME TO PAY THEM TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER FINALLY OFFERED TO MAKE THE REPAIR FOR $100, WHICH I DECLINED. THIS IS A CLEAR SAFETY ISSUE, NOT TO MENTION A SECURITY ISSUE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION, IT CAUSES THE DRIVER TO BE DISTRACTED, WHICH CAN -- AND EVENTUALLY WILL -- LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. ON THE SECURITY SIDE, THIS ISSUE CAN OCCUR AT ANY TIME, EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NOT BEING DRIVEN, WHICH COULD LEAD TO A WINDOW BEING OPEN WITHOUT THE OWNER'S KNOWLEDGE. CHRYSLER AND THE GOVERNMENT REGULATORS NEED TO START TREATING THIS LIKE THE SAFETY ISSUE THAT IT IS AND ISSUE A RECALL. IT MAKES NO SENSE THAT AN OWNER SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE A CLEARLY DEFECTIVE ITEM REPLACED, ESPECIALLY WHEN ITS GOING TO BE REPLACED WITH VIRTUALLY THE SAME PART, WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL AGAIN. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY 3.7 LITER WITH 34,000 MILES. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE HOME FROM WORK WHEN THE JEEP BEGAN TO STALL AND THE VEHICLE SPEEDS UP ON ITS OWN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IS STILL ON AND I CAN KNOW LONGER DRIVE IT BECAUSE I AM AFRAID OF IT STALLING IN AN INTERSECTION OR ON THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL SHOP AND THEY SAID THEY DID A COMPRESSION TEST AND THAT IS HAD BAD VALVE SPRINGS AND VALVES AND MAYBE NEEDS NEW HEADS. I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS ISSUE MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND JEEP HAS DONE NOTHING. THIS SEEMS LIKE A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW AND A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM I HOPE IT DOESN'T TAKE SOMEONE GETTING HURT FOR A RECALL TO BE ISSUED. THANKS *TR

ON MY 06 JEEP LIBERTY MY 2 BACK REAR WINDOWS HAVE FAILED. THE ONE I CAUGHT BEFORE IT WENT DOWN INTO THE DOOR, JAMMED SOME CARDBOARD ON THE SIDES TO KEEP IT UP. HOWEVER, HERE IN SW FLORIDA DURING THE SUMMER WE HAVE A "RAINY" SEASON FOR 6 MONTHS. NEEDLESS TO SAY DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ONE OF THESE BANDS OF RAIN STARTS POURING AND NOW HERE GOES THE OTHER REAR WINDOW DOWN "INSIDE" THE DOOR THIS TIME. WILL NOT COME UP! IF THIS IS NOT A SAFETY RECALL I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS. LET'S JUST SAY TRYING TO KEEP THE CAR ON THE ROAD, IN THE CORRECT LANE ALL WHILE TRYING TO FIND SOMEPLACE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD UNTIL THE RAIN STOPS. OF COURSE, NOW THE SEATS ARE SOAKING WET, AND WE LIBERTY OWNERS KNOW WHAT COMES NEXT...........BECAUSE THE SEATS GET WET ALL THIS NASTY WHITE STAIN IS ON THEM AND MUST BE BROUGHT IN TO GET CLEANED. DOUGLAS JEEP (VENICE, FL) DID TAKE CARE OF BOTH WINDOWS WITHIN 4 DAYS, I DO FEEL IT IS JEEP'S RESPONSIBILITY AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN CHARGED PERIOD ($192) DOUGLAS JEEP HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY CONCERNED WITH THIS PROBLEM AND I APPRECIATE THEM GETTING ME IN AS SOON AS THEY DID. I MIGHT ADD THAT THESE TWO WINDOWS FAILED WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF EACH OTHER. *TR

Summary

I WAS DRIVING HOME IN MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY, WHEN THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE POWER WINDOW FELL AGAIN! THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS WEEK THAT ONE OF THE POWER WINDOWS FALL. I HAVE HAD THIS WINDOW AND TWO OTHER WINDOWS SERVICED FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM BEFORE AND IT AND CHRYSLER CONTINUES TO BE UNABLE TO FIX IT! WHEN IT FELL, IT WAS RAINING, AND I HAD TO HURRY TO GET HOME BECAUSE IT WAS RAINING INSIDE OF THE JEEP. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO KEEP A GARBAGE BAG IN MY VEHICLE JUST IN CASE MY WINDOW FALLS. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN TO AT LEAST TWO WINDOWS EVERY THREE OR FOUR MONTHS FOR US. WHEN WE BRING IT TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, IT SEEMS TO WORK FINE FOR A WHILE UNTIL SOONER OR LATER IT FALLS AGAIN. THEY TELL US THAT A PLASTIC CLIP HOLDS THE WINDOW UP, AND THE WINDOW FALLS WHEN THE CLIP GIVES OUT. IT SEEMS LIKE THIS PLASTIC CLIP MUST BE PRETTY WEAK TO GO OUT AS OFTEN AS THIS! WE DON'T EVEN PUT THE WINDOW UP OR DOWN AT ALL. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAYS THAT THE PART CAN GO OUT WHETHER THE WINDOW IS IN USE OR NOT BECAUSE OF THE TENSION IT HOLDS. WHEN ASKED ABOUT ANY RECALLS ON THIS PART, THEIR RESPONSE WAS THAT RECALLS ARE ONLY ISSUED WHEN A SAFETY VIOLATION CAN OCCUR. IT IS A SAFETY VIOLATION TO ME! WHEN THE WINDOWS FALL, AND MY CHILDREN ARE IN THE CAR AND IT IS STORMING OUTSIDE THAT CERTAINLY AFFECTS MY DRIVING BECAUSE I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY KIDS! I WONDER WHAT DAMAGE WOULD BE CAUSED IF THE WINDOW FALLS AND SHATTERS INSIDE THE DOOR? HOW WOULD CHRYSLER RESPOND TO THAT? CHRYSLER SEEMS TO TAKE THIS AS NO BIG DEAL, BUT I BELIEVE THAT SOMEONE CAN GET SERIOUSLY INJURED BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. CAN WE PLEASE GET SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMETHING DOES HAPPEN TO SOMEONE? *TR

2006 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT 4 X 4 WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURE: ABOUT TO LEAVE FOR WORK AND FOUND A REAR WINDOW DOWN ON MY JEEP. WHEN I TRIED TO USE THE BUTTON TO RAISE IT A LOUD GRINDING NOISE OCCURRED AND THE WINDOW WOULD NOT GO UP. CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP CHARGED ME $442.73 TO REPLACE THE REGULATOR WITH, WHAT THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID, WAS THE NEW TYPE THAT CHRYSLER USES NOW. REP ALSO SAID I HAD TO BUY A NEW WINDOW GLASS BECAUSE THE NEW REGULATOR WAS NOT GUARANTEED TO WORK WITH THE OLD GLASS. THE NEW GLASS IS NOT TINTED TO MATCH THE OTHER CAR WINDOWS. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS POSTED ONLINE, FROM JEEP LIBERTY OWNERS, WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM REPEATEDLY. THERE IS AN ONLINE PETITION TO CHRYSLER TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND ABSORB THE EXPENSE OF HAVING THESE FAULTY REGULATORS REPLACED. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST VOLKS WAGEN FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. NOT KNOWING WHEN ONE OF YOUR CAR WINDOWS WILL DROP IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR BROKEN GLASS, A DANGEROUS DRIVING DISTRACTION, AND I WAS NOT SECURE IN MY CAR, THOUGH HAVING ALL DOORS LOCKED, MY WINDOW WOULD NOT GO UP. THIS LEAVES THE CAR OPEN TO EASY THEFT. SINCE CHRYSLER IS USING A "NEW" WINDOW REGULATOR, THAT DOESN'T FIT THE OLD GLASS, IT MUST KNOW OF THE WIDESPREAD PROBLEM OF THEIR FAULTY ORIGINAL REGULATORS. IN THE THOUSANDS OF POSTED CONSUMER COMPLAINTS, REGARDING THIS PROBLEM, IT SHOWS THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS. CUSTOMERS ARE PAYING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR REPLACEMENT COSTS. *TR

Summary

WHILE DRIVING ON 75N WITH NO WARRING MY BACK PASSENGER WINDOW MADE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE THEN JUST FELL DOWN AND WOULD NOT GO BACK UP. I HAD TWO PUPPIES IN THE BACK SEAT AND WHILE I WAS DRIVING THEY WERE TRYING TO GO BY THE WINDOW. DROVE 5 MILES LIKE THIS TO THE NEAREST EXIT AND WAS FORTUNATE TO FIND A TUFFY AUTO SERVICE STORE. THE WINDOW WAS DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY REGULATOR AND I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE $400 TO FIX IT AND ABOUT 3 HOURS. I COULD NOT AFFORD THAT AT THE TIME, SO I DUCK TAPED PLASTIC TO THE WINDOW AND DROVE ANOTHER 2 HOURS NORTH ON 75 TO GET HOME. THIS WAS VERY SCARY AND AFTER A SERVER SAFETY ISSUE! I HAVE CONTACTED JEEP/CHRYSLER'S COMPLAINT LINE AND AFTER TWO DAYS HAVE STILL NOT RECEIVED A CALL BACK FROM A CASE MANAGER. I WAS ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED TO DISCOVER THAT THERE ARE CLOSE TO 200 COMPLAINTS ON THIS VERY SITUATION ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM AND THAT JEEP IS NOT BACKING THEIR PRODUCTS. I AM WAITING TO HEAR FROM THEM TO SEE HOW THIS WILL BE COVERED. THIS TRULY COULD HAVE BEEN VERY SERIOUS WITH THE DEATH OF MY DOG AND WHAT IF A BABY WAS BACK THERE. IN MANY CASES THE WINDOW'S ARE ACTUALLY SHATTERING WITH OUT WARNING AS THEY FALL. *TR

I HAVE HAD MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY AT THE DEALERSHIP 6 TIMES IN THE 3 YEARS I'VE OWNED IT. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE. FIRST THE CAR WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK, AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. AFTER MAY MONTHS OF THIS HAPPENING DAILY I HAD IT TOWED ON A FLAT BED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FINALLY REPLACED A CABLE THAT CONNECTED THE GEAR SHIFT TO BRAKE AFTER TELLING ME I COULD JUST SLAM REALLY HARD ON THE BRAKE AND IT WOULD JUST DISENGAGE, I SHOULD JUST HAVE DONE THAT INSTEAD OF HAVING IT TOWED. (STUPID ME I GUESS) THEN I HAD THE SAME ABS TRACTION CHECK ENGINE LIGHT PROBLEMS I'VE HEARD AND READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT, FIRST TIME TAKING IT IN, THE PROBLEMS STOPPED AND THEY SENT ME HOME. SECOND TIME, I DROVE IT STRAIGHT THERE AND MADE THEM LOOK AT IT AND DRIVE IT, THEY HAD MY CAR FOR FOUR DAYS AND CALL ME TO TELL ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE THE CODES WERE STORED AND NOT ACTIVE RESET THE COMPUTER AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. NOW YESTERDAY A YEAR LATER AND AT 48,000 MILES THE CAR STARTED AGAIN. I MADE THEM HOOK IT UP WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING AND THE LIGHTS STILL ON. WHAT THEY DON'T TELL YOU IS THAT SHUTTING YOUR CAR OFF "STORES" THE CODES. WITH THE CAR STILL ON, THE CODES WERE ACTIVE AND THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM. THE BODY CONTROL MODULE. HOWEVER NOW IT IS OUT OF FACTORY WARRANTY AND I HAD TO FIGHT WITH THE GM TO GET IT COVERED. THEY STILL WOULDN'T COVER IT UNDER FACTORY BUT DID COVER IT UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY AND WAIVED MY DEDUCTIBLE. HOWEVER I AM STILL VERY UPSET THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED, THIS SHOULD NOT BE AT MY EXPENSE AT ALL!!! I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER JEEP EVER! *TR

Summary

MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY HAS HAD THE WINDOW REGULATORS FAIL WITH THE WINDOW FALLING BACK INTO THE DOOR UNEXPECTANTLY WHILE DRIVING. ALL FOUR OF THE REGULATORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE REGULATOR HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE AND NOW HAS BROKEN AGAIN FOR A THIRD TIME. NO WARNING SIGNS ARE NOTED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. SO FAR IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED DURING GOOD WEATHER. IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF IT WERE TO HAPPEN DURING INCLEMENT CONDITIONS. THE FIRST TWO FAILURES WERE REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY WITH THE SAME FAULTY PARTS. THE LAST THREE REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED BY MYSELF AS THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. JEEP HAS NOT REDESIGNED THE PART BUT ONLY REPLACES THE FAILED REGULATOR WITH THE POORLY DESIGNED ORRIGINAL EQUIPMENT. THE COMPONENT WHICH FAILS EACH TIME IS A PLASTIC PIECE WHICH HOLDS THE WINDOW AND CONNECTS TO THE REGULATOR CABLE. THIS PLASTIC PIECE FAILS EVEN WITH MINIMAL TO NO USE OF THE WINDOW. THE REAR WINDOWS IN MY JEEP HAVE ALMOST NEVER BEEN ROLLED DOWN AND STILL FAIL. I DO NOT HAVE ANY OF THE PRIOR FAILED WINDOW REGULATORS BUT THE LAST FAILURE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED YET AND WOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION. BELOW UNDER THE "EQUIPMENT INFORMATION" HEADING AND THEN SUBCATEGORY "MODEL", I WAS GIVEN SEVERAL MODEL NUMBERS OF WHICH I HAVE NO IDEA SO I PICKED THE FIRST ONE. *TR

2006 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT FUEL OVERFLOWS OUT OF FUEL FILLER TUBE WHEN FILLING GAS TANK NO MATTER HOW SLOWLY THE TANK IS FILLED. THE AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF AT SERVICE STATION PUMPS DOES NOT SENSE THE BACK PRESSURE OF THE FILL TUBE FOR THESE VEHICLES. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME WHEN REFUELING VEHICLE AT ANY SERVICE STATION. EACH OCCURRENCE CAUSES SPILLAGE OF FUEL (APPROXIMATELY 6-12 OUNCES) ON EXTERIOR PAINTED SURFACE OF VEHICLE, ON PERSON FILLING VEHICLE AND ONTO PAVEMENT CREATING NOT ONLY CUMULATIVE DAMAGE TO VEHICLE EXTERIOR BUT FIRE AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS AS WELL. INTERNET RESEARCH CONCERNING THIS ISSUE WITH JEEP VEHICLES SHOWS THIS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM ACROSS THE UNITED STATES AND CORRECTIVE ACTIONS ARE VERY RARELY ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER AND THEN ONLY IF VEHICLE IS WITHIN WARRANTY. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A DEFECT IN EITHER THE VEHICLE FUEL FILL TUBE, FUEL TANK OR BOTH. IT APPEARS CHRYSLER CORPORATION HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS DEFECT FOR QUITE SOME TIME, BUT HAS YET TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES FOR THE PROBLEM. *TR

ANYWAY, BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY AFTER WRAPPING PLASTIC OVER IT WITH DUCT TAPE AND HAD IT REPAIRED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY (47,000K). THE DEALER SAID IT WAS VERY COMMON IN THAT VEHICLE. I EXPLAINED THAT I'M LUCKY IT DIDN'T HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY WITH SMALL CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT. TWO WEEKS LATER, THE OPPOSITE REAR WINDOW BEGAN TO DROP INTO THE DOOR WELL AFTER HEARING A POPPING SOUND WHICH DISTRACTED ME. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY CHRYSLER. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO GET MY $200 DEDUCTIBLE REIMBURSED FOR THIS INCONVENIENCE. THANK YOU. *TR

Summary

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. THE OTHER DAY I HEARD A NOISE WHEN I WAS LETTING THE WINDOW DOWN. THE WINDOW WAS STUCK AND WOULDN'T GO DOWN OR UP. I GOT OUT OF MY JEEP AND TOUCHED THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW AND THE WINDOW MOVED UP AND DOWN WHEN I TRIED TO LET THE WINDOW UP. I HAD TO PLACE CARD BOARD IN THE WINDOW'S FRAME TO KEEP THE WINDOW UP. THE NEXT DAY THE WINDOW FELL INTO THE WINDOW'S FRAME AND I CAN'T GET IT OUT. THIS IS MY SECOND NIGHT WITH MY REAR WINDOW DOWN IN MY JEEP. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO REPAIR THE WINDOW RIGHT NOW AND I'M AFRAID THAT A THIEF WILL ENTER MY VEHICLE. I WAS SURPRISED THAT THIS COULD BE HAPPENING TO A 2006 VEHICLE. I DECIDED TO RESEARCH THE ISSUE ON THE INTERNET AND WAS SURPRISED TO FIND OUT THAT THIS WAS A COMMON AND EXPENSIVE PROBLEM WITH JEEP LIBERTY'S. WHY ARE JEEPS NOT BEING RECALLED DUE TO THIS DANGEROUS AND EXPENSIVE PROBLEM? *TR

2006 JEEP LIBERTY WINDOW REGULATORS ARE JUST PLAIN GARBAGE. I JUST HAD MY SECOND ONE FAIL AND I RARELY EVER MOVE MY WINDOWS. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY, WHEN A CHILD PASSENGER ACTIVATED THE WINDOW SWITCH. THERE WAS A LOUD CRACKING SOUND AND THE WINDOW FELL FROM FULLY CLOSED POSITION DOWN INTO THE DOOR IN FULLY OPEN POSITION. SOME KID WILL FALL OUT OF A WINDOW ONE OF THESE DAYS AND DIE BECAUSE OF THIS. THERE ARE COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE WEB ABOUT THESE THINGS FAILING WHILE JEEPS ARE PARKED AND UNATTENDED. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS OBVIOUSLY INFERIOR AND DANGEROUS DESIGN? *TR

Summary

I'VE HAD MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY FOR ONLY 2 YEARS AND HAVE ALREADY HAD WINDOW REGULATORS IN BOTH THE BACK WINDOWS FAIL 3 TIMES! WHEN YOU GO TO CONTROL THE WINDOW, IT MAKES A LOUD GRINDING NOISE AND EITHER (I'VE HAD BOTH HAPPEN) SLOWLY START FALLING INTO THE DOOR PANEL OR IMMEDIATELY JUST PLUMMET DOWN WITH SO WARNING EXCEPT FOR THE LOUD NOISE WHICH GIVES YOU NO TIME TO REACT TO THE SITUATION. LUCKILY, THIS LAST TIME, I WAS ABLE TO CATCH THE WINDOW BEFORE IT'S GREAT FALL OF DEATH INTO THE DOOR AND NOW IT IS ELECTRICAL TAPED UP TO MY DOOR JAM. WHICH IS INCONVENIENT AND UNSAFE. UNTIL I GET IT FIXED, (OR DECIDE TO DROP ANOTHER MEANINGLESS $300+++ DOLLARS TO FIX A REPETITIVE PROBLEM) MY VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND THERE SHOULD NOT BE A WORRY ON MY PART WHETHER OR NOT ROLLING DOWN MY WINDOWS AT ANY TIME WILL CAUSE THIS PROBLEM REPEATEDLY. MY FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW IS MAKING A FUNNY SOUND NOW SO I AM RELUCTANT TO EVEN USE IT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. IT'S NOT LIKE US JEEP OWNERS ARE PRESSING DOWN ON THE WINDOW OR EVEN DOING ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY TO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS DEFECT. I UNDERSTAND THINGS BREAK, BUT 3 TIMES IN 2 YEARS? THE MANUFACTURERS BUY THE PART FOR PENNIES AND CHARGE US AN ARM AND A LEG TO GET THE PART FIXED AND IT CONTINUES TO BREAK. THIS IS HIGHWAY ROBBERY AND WITHOUT QUESTION THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUED ON THIS CONSISTENT PROBLEM. *TR

IN ADDITION, MY CAR IS NOW ACCESSIBLE TO VANDALS. IS CHRYSLER WAITING FOR A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO OCCUR BEFORE APPROVING THIS RECALL?

MULTIPLE REPEATED FAILURES OF POWER WINDOWS, MOST RECENTLY LEFT REAR ON OR ABOUT 5/1/2010. WE HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM REPAIRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. DOOR FELL INTO WINDOW WHEN HUSBAND WAS BEING ADMITTED TO HEALTH SOUTH REHABILITATION HOSPITAL TWO YEARS AGO, AND NEITHER DEALERSHIP NOT EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE WOULD COVER AN EMERGENCY REPAIR. WE LIVE AT AN ALTITUDE OF OVER 8,000 FEET AND MY HUSBAND HAS HAD SURGERIES FOR BRAIN ANEURYSMS AND FOR LUNG CANCER, WHICH HAS LEFT HIM IN FRAGILE HEALTH. WE BOUGHT OUT JEEP LIBERTY AFTER HIS SURGERIES BECAUSE HE LIKED THE MULTIPLE PASSENGER SIDE HANDLES ON THE RENEGADE MODEL. WHEN A WINDOW FAILS TO FUNCTION PROPERLY, IT IS A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR AN OLDER MAN WHO IS VERY SENSITIVE TO COLD. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. ARE WE JUST WAITING FOR A VULNERABLE PERSON TO PASS AWAY FROM EXPOSURE? *TR

MY BACK WINDOW FELL DOWN AND LOOKING AT A $500 BILL TO REPAIR IT, I TOOK SILICONE WINDOW SEALER AND SEALED THE WINDOW SHUT. NEEDLESS TO SAY, MY NEXT VEHICLE WILL BE ONE THAT HAS A 100,000 MILE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY LIKE MY LAST ONE DID. I CAN'T BELIEVE WITH ALL OF THE REPORTS OF WINDOW FAILURES THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT STAND BY THEIR VEHICLE. THEY CONTINUALLY MANUFACTURE VEHICLES WITH OBVIOUS DEFECTS, BUT WITH 32,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE HIT YOU UP FOR $500 A "REPAIR" BILL. THIS IS NOT A REPAIR, IT IS EXTORTION TO FIX SOMETHING THAT WAS AND CONTINUES TO BE A DEFECT IN WORKMANSHIP AND MATERIALS, AS WELL AS POOR DESIGN.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW ([XXX]) IF THIS IS SUBJECT TO A NHTSA SAFETY RECALL OR OF I SHOULD START A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT TO CORRECT THIS DEFECT.

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY, THE FRONT DRIVERS WINDOW AND THE REAR DRIVERS WINDOW HAVE BOTH FALLEN WHILE DRIVING. I CURRENTLY HAVE THEM TY WRAPPED UP. THIS IS A TEMPORARY FIX BUT ALSO A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AS THE DRIVER WOULD HAVE A PROBLEM WITH EGRESS IN AN ACCIDENT. CHRYSLER WILL NOT ADDRESS THIS ISSUE,THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A FACTORY DEFECT BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS, THIS NEEDS SOME ATTENTION!

Summary

ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK... WITH MY 1 YEAR OLD IN THE BACK SEAT.. THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW FELL DOWN AND WOULD NOT GO UP. MY HUSBAND TOOK IT APART AND WE DISCOVERED THAT THE WINDOW REGULATOR HAD FAILED.. LUCKILY IT WAS NOT RAINING.. AND THE WINDOW DID NOT BREAK.. I DID SOME RESEARCH TRYING TO LOCATE A PART AND YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE COMPONENT WHICH COSTS AN AVERAGE OF $145 INSTEAD OF THE PLASTIC CLIP THAT PROBABLY COSTS ABOUT $1.00. IT WAS ALSO BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN LIBERTY'S AND I WAS APPALLED THAT EVEN NEW VEHICLES WERE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS! IN MY 10 MINUTE SEARCH 20 PEOPLE REPORTED ABOUT HAVING TO REPLACE THIS PART SEVERAL TIMES IN MORE THAN ONE WINDOW! CHRYSLER SHOULD REALLY CHANGE SOMETHING SO THIS PRODUCT DOESN'T FAIL SO OFTEN IN SO MANY VEHICLES! SOME DAY SOMEONE WILL BE INJURED BECAUSE OF THIS PART MALFUNCTIONING. LUCKILY IT WAS NOT MY SON!

Summary

2006 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED THE PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATORS ARE CONSTANTLY BREAKING AND THUS THE WINDOW FALLS ALL THE WAY DOWN INTO THE DOOR(S). I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE BROKEN WINDOW OPEN OR USE TAPE OR PLASTIC BAG TO KEEP RAIN OUT WHEN THE WEATHER IS BAD UNTIL I CAN GET TO THE DEALERSHIP. IN THE PAST 3 YEARS SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR, I HAVE HAD TO BRING IN MY CAR ON 6 SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. ALL THE PREVIOUS REPLACEMENTS WERE DONE UNDER WARRANTY. EACH DOOR WINDOW, EXCEPT FOR THE DRIVER'S WINDOW HAS BROKEN TWICE AND TODAY MAKES IT THREE TIME FOR THE REAR LEFT SIDE PASSENGER WINDOW. I FEEL THE SAFETY OF MY CAR IN IS JEOPARDY WHEN THE WINDOW IS FULLY DOWN AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE NOT BEING ABLE TO PUT IT UP WHEN DRIVING, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT. THIS MODEL'S WINDOWS AND REGULATORS HAVE CAUSED MANY PEOPLE THE SAME PROBLEM AND THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT ACCORDING TO THIS SITES 175 COMPLAINTS REGISTERED SO FAR FOR THIS PROBLEM. JEEP SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO REPLACE THESE REGULATORS FOR EVERYONE FOR FREE FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR UNLESS THEY CAN MANUFACTURE A PART THAT WILL NOT BREAK WITHIN 8 MONTHS OF INSTALLATION. THE DEALER I GO TO STATES THAT THE CAR IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND THAT I MUST PAY A $150 "CO-PAY" TO HAVE IT FIXED AS A "GOODWILL" COST COVERING OF JEEP-CHRYSLER BUT THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO PAY FOR THEIR SHODDY DESIGN AND PARTS THAT KEEP BREAKING.

Summary

THE WINDOWS IN MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY KEEP FALLING DOWN INSIDE THE DOOR. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO THREE OF THE FOUR WINDOWS. ONE WINDOW I HAVE HAD IN THE REPAIR SHOP THREE TIMES (DEALERSHIP) TO FIX THE SAME PROBLEM. THE LAST TIME THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED, BUT NOW I CAN'T OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE, WHICH TO ME SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE. MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING BACK FROM A TRIP IN THE MIDDLE OF A HEAVY RAIN STORM WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE WINDOW FELL DOWN INSIDE THE DOOR. IT STARTED HAILING WHICH WAS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE FOR OUR CHILDREN RIDING IN THE BACK SEAT. I AM JUST THANKFUL THAT WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT DID NOT HAPPEN. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM OCCURS BECAUSE OF A BAD MOTOR INSIDE THE DOOR PANEL. THE CHEAPEST I HAVE FOUND TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IS $300 PER WINDOW. THIS IS RIDICULOUS WHEN THE PROBLEM KEEPS OCCURING!

ON 3/20/10 THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW FELL DOWN WHILE CAR WAS PARKED WITH DOG INSIDE IN A SNOW STORM IN PARKER, CO. MY DOG JUMPED OUT AND WAS RECOVERED BY ANIMAL CONTROL. SEVERAL ITEMS IN MY JEEP WERE COVERED IN SNOW/ICE INCLUDING PAPERWORK AND OFFICIAL FORMS FOR FOR MY WORK THAT HAS SINCE BEEN RUINED DUE TO WATER DAMAGE. THIS IS THE 5TH TIME I HAVE EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH WINDOW REGULATORS IN THIS SAME VEHICLE. IN AUGUST OF 2009, THE REAR DIRVER'S SIDE WINDOW HAD TO BE REPLACED. AT THIS TIME CHRYSLER TOLD ME THAT DEFECTIVE PARTS WERE BEING USED IN LIBERTYS BUT THERE IS NO RECALL AND THE REPLACEMENT OPTION WAS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE GLASS AND REGULATOR. IN DECEMBER OF 2009, THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW BEGAN ROLLING UP CROOKED AND WAS REPLACED. THE PASSENGER WINDOW IS YET TO BE REPLACED AS I AM WAITING ON A RESPONSE FROM CHRYSLER TO SEE IF THEY WILL COVER THE $500.00 REPAIR COST SINCE THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM. *DT

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY THAT SPEWS GAS AS IT GETS FULL. IT HAS SHOT OUT AS MUCH AS 3-4 CUPS WORTH AT ITS WORST. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME IT IS A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM CONSIDERING THE AMOUNT OF GAS THAT IS SPILLED EACH TIME.I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS A FAULTY VENTING MECHANISM IN THE GAS TANK AND SEVERAL OTHERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE ON JEEPS AND DODGES. I MADE MENTION OF IT AT THE DEALERSHIP EACH TIME I HAVE HAD IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY NEVER EVEN LOOKED INTO IT. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT MUST BE THE GAS PUMP I AM USING. I HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN AT GAS STATIONS IN 8 STATES NOW. I AM SURE IT IS NOT THE GAS PUMPS. NOW THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY, I AM TOLD THAT THEY COULD REPLACE THE GAS TANK AT MY EXPENSE. SINCE THE VEHICLE IS SO NEW AND ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT THAT THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED THEIR RESPONSIBILITY IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THOUGH. *TR *DT

I WAS DRIVING ON 295 IN BALTIMORE, MD DURING RUSH HOUR WHEN MY DRIVER'S SIDE REAR WINDOW STARTED TO FALL. THIS IS THE 6TH TIME I HAVE HAD A REGULATOR PROBLEM, SECOND TIME FOR THIS WINDOW. I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF MY BECAUSE IT CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SURE ENOUGH ITS THE REGULATOR EXCEPT THIS TIME THEY AREN'T JUST REPLACING THE REGULATOR BUT THE GLASS TOO. I REALLY WANTED ANOTHER JEEP BUT SINCE I KEEP HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT ISN'T GOING TO HAPPEN. JEEP NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL, EVERYONE IN THE DEALERSHIP SAID THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. IF THEY KNOW IT IS A PROBLEM; THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE DIES FROM IT. IT IS EXTREMELY DISTRACTING. IT ALSO REDUCES YOUR VISIBILITY WHEN YOU HAVE TO DUCT TAPE YOUR WINDOW SHUT. *TR

POWER WINDOWS OF JEEP LIBERTY 2006 4X4 FAILED A SECOND TIME. AFTER DRIVING ON HIGHWAY I REALIZED THAT REAR WINDOW ON PASSENGER SIDE SLID DOWN INTO DOOR AND COULD NOT BE PUSHED UP AGAIN. THIS HAD HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME IN JULY 2008 AND WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. THE WINDOW REGULATOR WAS REPLACED. THE FAILING OF THE POWER WINDOWS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE CAR CAN NOT SAFELY LEFT ALONE CLOSED BECAUSE THE WINDOW ALWAYS WILL SLIDE DOWN WITHOUT WARNING-> RAIN DAMAGE, THEFT. LOAD CAN GET DAMAGED OR FALL OUT OF THE CAR, KIDS OR PETS CAN GET HURT. THE DEALERSHIP STATES THAT THE WHOLE WINDOW ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE EXCHANGED ($750) ALTHOUGH THE WINDOW IS NOT DAMAGED. THIS FAILURE OF THE WINDOW REGULATORS IS COMMON ON 2006 AND OLDER MODELS. JEEP HAS TO DO A RECALL AND PROVIDE RELIABLE AND SAFE POWER WINDOWS ON LIBERTY 2006 AND OLDER MODELS. *TR

VEHICLE: 2006 JEEP LIBERTY RENEGADE ISSUE: ALL 4 DOORS HAVE NEEDED THE WINDOW REGULATORS REPLACED, ONE THEM HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE. ANOTHER ONE BROKE TOWARDS THE END OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD BUT THE DEALER WOULD NOT REPLACE IT UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN DECEMBER OF 2006, SO IT HAS BEEN THROUGH 3 YEARS OF CONTINUOUS USE AND HAS RECEIVED 5 NEW WINDOW REGULATORS. IT NEEDS A 6TH NEW REGULATOR BUT THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO REPLACE THE WINDOW AND THE REGULATOR, WITHOUT ANY BACK-UP DATA THAT SUGGESTS THIS WILL END THE PROBLEM. DURING THE LAST INCIDENT, I HEARD A LOUD POPPING SOUND COMING FROM THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE, WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 40 MPH, BUT DID NOT NOTICE ANY IMMEDIATE ISSUES. THE DOORS WERE BRIEFLY INSPECTED FOR ANY DAMAGE AND LOOKED FINE. AFTER COMING OUT OF THE MOVIE THEATRE, ABOUT 2 HOURS LATER, THE WINDOW HAD FALLEN COMPLETELY INTO THE DOOR. TO DATE THE PART HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED DUE TO A LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN THE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE RESOLUTION AND DUE TO THE EXORBITANT COST. AFTER INSPECTING THE ASSEMBLY, IT APPEARS THAT THE PLASTIC COMPONENT, WHICH MOVES ALONG THE RAILING, IS NOT ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY CAPTURE AND MAINTAIN A CONNECTION WITH THE CABLE THAT ENABLES THE WINDOW THE GO UP AND DOWN. ONCE THE TWO PIECES SEPARATE THERE IS NO WAY TO RECONNECT THEM. *TR

I HAVE BEEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE WINDOW STARTS TO FALL DOWN INTO THE DOOR. THE DEALER CHARGES TO FIX IT AND REPLACES IT WITH THE SAME FAULTY PART. I HAVE PAID OVER $1500 FOR A PROBLEM THAT KEEPS OCCURRING. I LIVE IN ARIZONA AND THOUGHT THAT IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE HEAT BUT THEN ONE OF THE SERVICE ADVISORS TOLD ME THAT IT'S THE PART THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEMS. JEEP SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS PART. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE CHILDREN IN MY BACK SEAT ON A REGULAR BASIS. DEBRIS FROM THE ROAD COULD FLY THROUGH THE WINDOW AND HIT THEM. IF SOMEONE LEANS ON THE WINDOW WHEN IT'S TAPED UP IT COULD EASILY FALL DOWN INTO THE DOOR RESULTING IN AN INJURY.

FOUND OUT MINE WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH FAULTY WINDOWS BY TALKING TO THE CUSTOMERS IN THERE FOR THE SAME REASON. NEEDLESS TO SAY I NOW RIDE AROUND WITH DUCK TAPE AND PLASTIC AND AM WAITING FOR THE NEXT ONE TO GO. LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THESE REGULATORS AND THEY NEED TO BE FIXED NOW BEFORE SOMEONE WRECKS AND KILLS THEMSELVES WITH THESE THINGS FALLING DOWN. I TRADED IN MY TOYOTA IN FEAR OF A STICKING GAS PEDDLE AND NOW I HAVE TO DRIVE IN FEAR OF MY WINDOWS FALLING DOWN. I AM ONLY ASKING FOR A SIMPLE RECALL TO A SIMPLE FIX FOR ALL OF THE JEEP OWNERS WHO DRIVE AROUND WITH DUCK TAPE UP TO THE WINDOWS.

JEEP LIBERTY 2006. BOUGHT NEW. TO DATE 6 POWER WINDOWS HAVE FAILED. 2 OF THEM OBVIOUSLY FOR A SECOND TIME AFTER REPAIR BY CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. I LIVE IN SOUTH FLORIDA WERE THERE IS NO CHANCE OF THE WINDOWS BECOMING STUCK WITH ICE BUILDUP BETWEEN THE WEATHER STRIPING & THE GLASS. THIS IS A DESIGN FAULT THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF. INCREDIBLE THAT A LARGE CORPORATION IS UNABLE TO DESIGN A POWERED WINDOW SYSTEM THAT'S BEEN AROUND FOR 50 YEARS. DURING SEVERE WEATHER, RAIN STORMS, BLOWING SNOW OR SEVERE COLD, THIS CAN BECOME A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS FAILURE IS PROLIFIC ON ALL JEEP LIBERTY'S BUILT FROM I BELIEVE 2003 TO 2007. MY JEEP HAS HAD FAILURES THAT AT THE RETAIL LEVEL WOULD COST OVER $2000.00 APPROX $300 - $400 PER WINDOW. ITS ONLY JUST OVER 3 YEARS OLD. I AM NOW AFRAID TO OPEN & CLOSE THE WINDOWS. I HAVE SECURED THE LAST FAILURE IN THE UP POSITION USING A CABLE TIE. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. *TR

Summary

CHRYSLER CONTINUES TO IGNORE A SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP LIBERTY. CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THEIR POWER WINDOW REGULATORS THAT BASICALLY LET THE WINDOW FALL OUT INTO THE STREET OR INSIDE THE CAR ON TOP OF SLEEPING BABIES AND OTHER PASSENGERS, OR DOWN IN THE DOOR, OR GET STUCK UP OR DOWN. I HAVE A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY AND HAVE HAD TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ON MY CAR 3 TIMES ONCE AT 10,000 MILES, ONCE AT 50,000 MILES AND NOW AT 70,000 MILES. THE LAST TWO TIMES I PAID $350. CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM HAVING SENT REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS TO DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENTS FOR A TEMPORARY FIX THAT THEY ARE USING AS A FRAUDULENT MONEY MAKING VENTURE, 'A BUILT IN REPAIR PROBLEM.' CHRYSLERS ARROGANCE IS UNPARALLELED, WE NEED YOUR HELP! *TR

Summary

THIS IS AN INCIDENT - WHEN FUELING THE GAS TANK WITH THE NOZZLE INSIDE THE GAS TANK OPENING, THE FUEL GUSHES OUT OF THE OPENING AFTER THE TANK IS FULL, SPILLING GAS ON THE VEHICLE AND ON THE GROUND. THIS IS NOT AT ONE GAS PUMP, IT HAPPENS AT ANY GAS STATION I GO TO. THIS RESULTS IN A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD AND DAMAGE TO THE PAINT ON THE VEHICLE. EACH GAS PUMP HAS AN AUTOMATIC VACUUM SHUT OFF WHEN THE GAS REACHES THE NOZZLE AND IS SUPPOSED TO SHUT OFF THE SUPPLY OF GAS. FOR SOME REASON, THE JEEP LIBERTY GUSHES OUT GAS ALL OVER THE PLACE EVERY TIME I FUEL IT. THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING EVENT AND THE ONLY REASON WHY I HAVE NOT REPORTED IT IS BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW THAT THIS REPORTING MECHANISM WAS AVAILABLE AND I WAS ONLY PUTTING IN A LIMITED AMOUNT OF GAS TO PREVENT THE GUSHING FROM HAPPENING. IS THIS PECULIAR TO JUST MY VEHICLE OR HAVE OTHERS HAD THIS EXPERIENCE AS WELL??? *TR

AFTER THREE YEARS AND HAVING THEM ALL REPLACED, THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WAS STILL HANGING AND WAS REPAIRED AGAIN. NOW AT THE PRESENT TIME 1/27/2010 AND 19,000 MILES THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW COMPONENTS ARE BROKEN AGAIN AND WILL NEED TO BE TAKED IN FOR ANOTHER REPAIR. THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED.

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY 4X4 THE REAR WINDOW PASSENGER SIDE HAS STOPPED WORKING, OR SHOULD I SAY IT JUST FELL MAKING A LOUD BOOM WHEN IT CAME CRASHING DOWN, I'M JUST GLAD I DIDN'T HAVE KIDS IN THE BACK SEAT WHEN IT FELL, IT COULD HAVE BROKE AND REALLY HURT SOME ONE. THE LIBERTY ONLY HAS 46,000. MILES ON IT THE WINDOWS HAS NOT BEEN USED AT ALL SINCE I HAVE HAD IT. I HAVE BEEN DOING RESEARCH ON THE PROBLEM AND THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT APPEARS THAT JEEP DOES NOT OFFER A WARRANTY OR A RECALL. BUT A AFTER MARKET IS AVAILABLE NOT EVEN FROM JEEP OF BETTER DESIGN TO FIX THE PROBLEM. HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/DIRECT/VIEW/.F16FE1C/121 HERE IS ONE OF THE WEB SITES WHERE MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN POSTING THE SAME PROBLEM. HERE IS THE SOLUTION FROM AN AFTER MARKET WHERE THE DESIGN LOOKS BETTER AND MAKES MORE SINCE. PLEASE HELP IN TRYING TO GET JEEP TO OFFER A RECALL IN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOME ONE GETS HURT, AND AS 500 OR MORE IS A LOT TO HAVE TO SPEND FOR THERE MISTAKES.

Summary

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY CRD WHICH I LEASED IN FEB. 2006 THROUGH JAN. 2009 THEN DECIDED TO PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE. THE REAR WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE FAILED ON BOTH SIDES TWICE. THE FIRST TIME WAS IN JUNE 2007 BOTH REAR PASSENGER DOOR WINDOWS FELL INTO THE DOOR. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN THIS YEAR IN APRIL 2009 FOR THE RIGHT REAR WINDOW AND NOW IN AUGUST 2009 FOR THE LEFT REAR WINDOW. I HAVE SEEN MANY REVIEWS ON THIS AND THAT THIS PROBLEM KEEPS OCCURRING. ONCE THE WARRANTY IS UP YOU PAY APPROXIMATELY $400 PER WINDOW REGULATOR TO BE FIXED. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER/JEEP SHOULD REMANUFACTURE THIS PART AND REPLACE IT FOR FREE. *TR

Summary

I BOUGHT A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED ON 8-20-09 IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH APPROXIMATELY 50,000 MILES. BEFORE I EVEN DROVE THE CAR OFF THE DEALERSHIPS LOT, THE REAR DRIVER'S-SIDE WINDOW/WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED RENDERING THE WINDOW INOPERABLE. DEALERSHIP DID NOT HAVE PART AND HAD TO SEAL IN UP POSITION SO AS NOT TO FALL, WHILE PART IS BEING ORDERED. UPON EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET ON VARIOUS HIGHLY RESPECTED CAR REVIEW/RATING SITES, I HAVE LEARNED THAT THE 2006 JEEP LIBERTY HAS A KNOWN DEFECT IN QUALITY OF WINDOW REGULATOR DESIGN AND MATERIAL USED WHICH CAUSES WINDOWS TO DROP INTO DOORS OR CEASE OPERATING ROUTINELY ON AVERAGE OF EVERY 2-3 MONTHS. YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING, MY REAR PASSENGER WINDOW DROPPED WHILE I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC. I WAS SUBSEQUENTLY STARTLED TO THE POINT I SWERVED, AND NARROWLY MISSED HITTING ANOTHER CAR WHICH WOULD HAVE CAUSED A MULTIPLE CAR COLLISION ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE. I HAVE SINCE TAPED MY WINDOW IN THE "UP" POSITION UNTIL I CAN RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WITH DEALER. DEALERSHIP HAS INFORMED ME THAT THEY WILL ONLY COVER THIS FIRST REPLACEMENT/REPAIR, AND THAT I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FUTURE WINDOW REGULATOR REPAIRS OF $500.00 EACH. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE. A COMPANY/DEALERSHIP SHOULD STAND 100% BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND SHOULD CERTAINLY ADDRESS POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUES RESULTING FROM SOMETHING AS CRITICAL AS THIS. THE KNOWN WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURE COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS, BODILY INJURY, THEFT/VANDALISM ISSUES, AND DEPRECIATION AND DEGRADATION OF VEHICLE INTERIOR DUE TO WEATHER DAMAGE. I WILL BE FILING COMPLAINTS WITH STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND CAR MANUFACTURER/CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS. A SAFETY RECALL SHOULD IMMEDIATELY BE ISSUED, AND THESE WINDOW REGULATORS SHOULD BE REDESIGNED WITH SOMETHING OTHER THAN PLASTIC THAT HAS PROVEN TO REPEATEDLY FAIL. WHILE CERTAINLY AN INCONVENIENCE OF TIME, AND A FINANCIAL DRAIN AND STRESS TO CONSUMER, THIS IS MOST ASSUREDLY A VERY SERIOUS DANGER TO OCCUPANTS & OTHER DRIVERS. *TR

Summary

THE DRIVER'S REAR WINDOW REGULATOR BROKE AND NOW THE WINDOW WILL NOT GO UP AND DOWN AND SLIDES DOWN BY ITSELF. CHRYSLER ONLY SELLS THE MOTOR AND REGULATOR AND EVERYTHING AS ONE PACKAGE, SO EVEN THOUGH I CAN HEAR THE MOTOR WORKING AND IT IS MOST LIKELY A BROKEN PIECE OF PLASTIC, BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT JEEPS USE FOR REGULATORS, THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM IM GOING TO HAVE TO PAY 300 DOLLARS TO BUY EVERYTHING. IF CHRYSLER WOULD USE A METAL BRACKET AS A REGULATOR INSTEAD OF A CHEAP PIECE OF PLASTIC THERE WOULD NOT BE SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH JEEP LIBERTY'S WINDOW REGULATORS BREAKING. AND SINCE THEY DON'T SELL REGULATORS BY THEMSELVES IT IS ALMOST LIKE CHRYSLER IS DOING IT JUST TO MAKE MORE MONEY AND THAT THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS AT ALL.

2006 JEEP LIBERTY. I HAVE HAD THE WINDOW REGULATOR GO OUT IN MY CAR CURRENTLY 5 DIFFERENT TIMES. I AM ALSO CERTAIN THAT MY DRIVER WINDOW IS ABOUT TO GO OUT AGAIN AS I HAVE TO HELP LEAD IT WHEN I PUSH THE UP BOTTOM. I TRY TO USE IT AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE. WHEN THE REGULATORS WHEN OUT THE FIRST THREE TIMES MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY SO I TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR. NOW THAT THEY HAVE BROKEN TWO MORE TIMES, WITHIN TWO WEEKS, I FEEL THAT THIS IS A REAL ISSUE. WHAT CONCERNS ME IS THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN WHO ARE IN THE BACK SEAT WHEN THESE BREAK AND THE GLASS FALLS INTO THE DOOR, WHAT IF IT WAS TO BREAK, WHAT IF IT WAS STORMING OUTSIDE. IT CONCERNS ME THAT ONE OF THEM COULD BE INJURED. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT WHEN I WENT ONLINE TO DO SOME RESEARCH THERE ARE MANY POST REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE, ALSO A PETITION PUT FORWARD WITH 114 SIGNATURES ASKING FOR A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE, YET CHRYSLER JEEP HAS YET TO DO ONE. I THINK WE NEED HELP TO GET THIS ITEM RECALLED, HAVE A BETTER PRODUCT INSTALLED IN OUR CARS, AND PROVIDE A SAFE FORM OF TRANSPORTATION FOR OUR FAMILIES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

MY SON HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS 2003 JEEP LIBERTY RENEGADE. I WAS LOOKING AT SOME REVIEWS ONLINE AND RUDY ALSO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS 2006 JEEP LIBERTY.

Summary

2006 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED 4X4, ALL 4 OF THE WINDOWS HAVE HAD REGULATOR FAILURE CAUSING THE WINDOWS TO FALL DOWN INTO THE DOOR. THESE HAVE ALL OCCURRED AT DIFFERENT TIMES AND EVEN WITHOUT ANYONE BEING IN THE VEHICLE. ONE OF THE RECENTLY REPLACED REGULATORS THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN REPAIRED ONCE HAVE FAILED AGAIN WHILE MY WIFE WAS AT WORK. SHE CAME OUT TO LEAVE WORK IN THE DARK AND AS SHE WENT TO DRIVE OFF SHE NOTICED A WINDOW IN THE REAR WAS DOWN. SHE DID NOT PUT IT DOWN IT FAILED AND FELL ON ITS OWN WHILE INSIDE OF HER PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT AGAIN. THIS IS A HAZARD THAT WOULD HAVE ALLOWED SOMEONE TO ENTER HER VEHICLE AND EITHER STEAL FROM THE VEHICLE OR ATTACK HER. SO ALL 4 POWER WINDOWS HAVE FAILED AND NOW THEY ARE STARTING TO FAIL AGAIN. WARRANTY WILL EXPIRE THIS OCTOBER AND WE FEAR WE WILL BE LEFT WITH CONSTANT REPAIRS AND SHE CONSTANTLY WORRIES ABOUT HER SAFETY KNOWING IT WILL MOST LIKELY HAPPEN AGAIN. REAR GATE ALSO HAD A LOUD RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM IT AND AFTER IT WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED BY DEALER UNDER WARRANTY WIFE COULD NOT GET THE GATE OPEN TO LOAD GROCERIES. UPON INSPECTION BY ME I FOUND THAT THE CHRYSLER JEEP DEALERSHIP JUST WRAPPED THE GATE LATCH STRIKER WITH ELECTRICAL TAPE INSTEAD OF REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE LATCH CAUSING THE DOOR LATCH TO BIND AND NOT OPEN. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO EITHER BE RECALLED OR ENFORCE A MANDATORY TSB ON A WORKING REVISION OF NEW PARTS. *TR

Summary

THE REGULATOR MOTOR OF THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW MALFUNCTIONED AND THE WINDOW SLID DOWN THE TRACK. CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE OF THIS DEFECT CAUSED THE DOOR LATCH TO BRAKE, MAKING THE DOOR INOPERABLE. THE CONSEQUENCE IS A SAFETY HAZARD IF AN ACCIDENT OR ROLLOVER REQUIRED THE PASSENGER TO EXIT THE AUTOMOBILE. THE FAILURE OF REGULATOR ELECTRIC WINDOW MOTORS IS COMMONPLACE ON CHRYSLER PRODUCTS, WHEREAS, THESE OCCURRENCES ARE ALL OVER THE INTERNET. THE DEALER FIXED THE PROBLEM AT A COST OF $600. THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF CHRYSLER WARRANTY, AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY INSURANCE CARRIER WOULD ONLY COVER THE MOTOR. THEY DID NOT COVER THE BROKEN DOOR LATCH, OR THE WINDOW GLASS. AFTER SEVERAL CONVERSATIONS WITH CHRYSLER, THEY ADMITTED TO HAVING A RUNNING CHANGE IN THE ENGINEERING OF THE ELECTRIC WINDOW ASSEMBLY, AND YOU CANNOT BUY THE REGULATOR MOTOR SEPARATELY. YOU MUST BUY THE GLASS WINDOW AND THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY TOGETHER. I BELIEVE THE HISTORY OF THIS FAILURE WARRANTS A RECALL BY THE MANUFACTURER FOR SAFETY CONCERNS WITH THE DOOR LATCH BREAKING AS A RESULT OF BAD ENGINEERING. *TR

FIRST TIME, AFTER 3 WEEKS THEY SAID THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM. I BROUGHT IT BACK NEXT DAY WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. MY CAR IS STILL IN SERVICE. MY GREAT PROBLEM IS THAT MY AUTHORIZED DEALER IS UNABLE OR DON'T WANT TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS, WAITING TO EXPIRE THE WARRANTY OF MY CAR ? IN FEW DAYS. THEY DON?T WANT TO OFFER WARRANTY FOR THE PIECES THEY REPLACED, THEY SAY THE WARRANTY OF THIS PIECES REPLACED EXPIRES WITH THE WARRANTY OF THE CAR.

BACK DRIVER SIDE WINDOW FELL COMPLETELY DOWN AND WON'T ROLL UP. PASSENGER FRONT WINDOW HAS NEEDED NEW ACTUATOR BECAUSE IT SOMETIMES WON'T ROLL UP. I WILL BE FINALLY TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND HOPEFULLY GETTING THE ACTUATORS REPLACED FOR FREE SINCE THEY HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE THE ENTIRE TIME I HAVE OWNED THE CAR.

THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT CHRYSLER WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE. IT CAUSES AIR POLLUTION AND A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE ABILITY TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE NORMALLY IS GREATLY HINDERED WITHOUT WARNING. CONSUMER IS ASKED TO PAY $2,300.00 FOR A TEMPORARY REPAIR FOR THE FACTORY'S POOR DESIGN. *TR

Summary

WHEN I PARKED MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY AND ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE KEY AND PULL IT OUT OF THE IGNITION, THE KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT. IT WOULD GO NO FURTHER THAN THE LOCK POSITION. IT APPEARS THAT THE SHIFTING CABLE THAT READS WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK AND ENABLES ONE TO REMOVE THE KEY HAD FAILED AND WAS NOT READING THAT MY CAR WAS ACTUALLY IN PARK. I HAD TO PRESS THE CABLE DOWN IN ORDER TO REMOVE MY KEY. I DID A GOOGLE SEARCH FOR THE PROBLEM AND IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE 2004-2006 JEEP LIBERTY. NOW MY SHIFTER DOES NOT STOP BETWEEN GEARS, IT SIMPLY SLIDES THROUGH THEM WITHOUT HAVING TO PRESS THE BUTTON THAT WOULD NORMALLY LOCK THEM IN PLACE. I CAN SHIFT FROM REVERSE TO PARK WITHOUT PRESSING THE BREAK AND WITHOUT PUSHING THE BUTTON. IN ORDER TO PULL MY KEY OUT I HAVE TO TAKE THE COVER OFF AND PRESS DOWN ON THE CABLE. NOW THAT I NOTICED IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH OTHER JEEP LIBERTY'S, I THINK A RECALL IS IN ORDER. *TR

ON 2/21/08 I TOOK MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY TO DAVID O'NEAL AUTOMOTIVE TO HAVE MY VEHICLE CHECKED AS A RESULT OF TWO INCIDENTS THAT HAD OCCURRED DURING IT'S OPERATION AND ANOTHER OPERATIONAL PROBLEM. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED IN THE WALMART PARKING LOT AS I WAS STOPPED TO ALLOW A PEDESTRIAN TO CROSS THE PARKING LOT. THE JEEP ACCELERATED WHILE IT WAS IN A STOPPED POSITION AND I HAD TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK TO AVOID HITTING THE PEDESTRIAN. ON THE SECOND INCIDENT I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT WHEN THE JEEP ONCE AGAIN ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. THE OTHER PROBLEM THAT I WAS HAVING WITH THE VEHICLE IS IT'S INABILITY TO ACCELERATE EFFECTIVELY AT TIMES. THE SERVICE ADVISOR ADVISED ME THAT THEY DID GET THE JEEP TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT THEY DID NOT GET A CODE FOR THE PROBLEM. ON 2/22/08 I SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER FOR THE DEALERSHIP WITH REGARD TO THE PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING WITH THE VEHICLE, THE ISSUE OF MY HAVING TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSTIC FEES AND REPAIRS AND THE SAFETY ISSUES INVOLVED WITH THIS MATTER. HE ADVISED ME TO WAIT UNTIL THE VEHICLE REPEATS THE PROBLEM AND BRING IT IN TO SEE IF WE CAN GET A CODE. I NOTIFIED HIM THAT THEY HAD ALREADY SEEN THE PROBLEM REPEAT ITSELF WHEN I HAD IT IN FOR REPAIR AND A CODE DID NOT ACTIVATE. HE AGAIN STATED THAT I SHOULD BRING IT IN TO SEE IF A CODE COULD BE RETRIEVED. I ASKED HIM, IF A CODE COULD NOT BE RETRIEVED, WHAT DO WE DO THEN? HE COULD NOT GIVE ME ANY DEFINITIVE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION. ON THIS SAME DATE I RELAYED ALL OF THIS SAME INFORMATION TO THE CUSTOMER RELATIONS COORDINATOR. IN ADDITION I EXPRESSED THE FACT THAT WHEN THE REPAIR BILLS AND DIAGNOSTIC FEES WERE BEING CHARGED TO ME IT WAS OKAY TO PROCEED WITHOUT CODES BUT NOW THAT I FEEL THAT THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD BE PAYING FOR THESE COSTS, DUE TO WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED (1/3/2008) AND THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM (DEFECT), THE DEALERSHIP FEELS THAT WE CANNOT PROCEED WITHOUT A CODE. *TR

MY 21 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING MY 2006 LIBERTY ON THE NORTHERN PARKWAY IN WESTBURY, NY ON JANUARY 2, 2008. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN JULY 2006 AND HAS APPROXIMATELY 15,500 MILES ON IT. SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING THE WHEELS LOCKED UP RIPPING OUT THE TRANSFER CASE AND DROPPING THE DRIVE SHAFT ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR BEHIND HER WAS DAMAGED AS IT RAN OVER THE DRIVE TRAIN COMPONENTS. THE DRIVER OF THE DAMAGED CAR SAW FLAMES COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE LIBERTY AND A CLOUD OF BLACK SMOKE. (PROBABLY FROM THE GEAR OIL). FORTUNATELY THE LIBERTY VEERED INTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE AND NOT INTO ANOTHER TRAVEL. NO ONE WAS INJURED. THE LIBERTY WAS TOWED TO WESTBURY JEEP. INITIALLY I MET WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AND HE INDICATED THE REPAIRS WOULD BE MADE UNDER WARRANTY. AFTER 12 DAYS HE PHONE ME AND SAID ...EITHER THE CAR HIT SOMETHING OR IT WAS DRIVEN IN 4WD LOW ON THE HIGHWAY. NEITHER OF THESE OCCURRED AND JEEP DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE AND WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIRS UNDER WARRANTY. I PHONED CHRYSLER AND THEY WON?T EVEN SEND A REP TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. CHRYSLER CONTACTED THE DEALER AND REPEATED WHAT THE DEALER SAID. THE CHRYSLER SERVICE REP WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANOTHER CONTACT SAYING SHE WAS TRAINED TO HANDLE THESE SITUATIONS. SHE ALSO SAID THERE ARE NO TSBS OR RECALLS FOR MY LIBERTY WHICH APPLY. I AM FRUSTRATED AND STONEWALLED BY BOTH THE WESTBURY JEEP AND CHRYSLER. *TR

MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY CRD HAD A FAILURE IN THE TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER. I GOING ABOUT 60-65 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS A LOT OF SHUDDERING COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND THEN A LOUD KLUNK AND IT CAUSE A SUDDEN DROP IN MY SPEED FROM 65 TO 30 MPH. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS INJURED OR HURT, HOWEVER AS IN THE PAST WHEN THIS HAPPEN, ITS WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING A TEMPORARY LOSS OF CONTROL. THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDER HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES WHILE II WAS TRAVELING. MY DEALER HAS KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR OVER A YEAR, AND I HAVE REPORTED IT TO HIS SERVICE DEPARTMENT MORE THAN 4 TIMES AND THE PROBLEM HAS YET TO BE FIXED. CHRYSLER I BELIEVE KNOWS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP LIBERTY CRD'S DRIVE TRAIN BUT HAS YET TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS WILL BE MY THIRD COMPLAINT TO NHTSA ON THIS. THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN I WAS RETURNING HOME ON THE 3RD OF JAN. 2008. I WILL BE SEEING A REP ON THIS COMING MONDAY AND I DO NOT EXPECT TO GET ANY SATISFACTION FROM HIM ON THIS SAFETY MATTER. ALSO MY REAR BRAKES ARE GROANING EVERY TIME THAT I STOP AND THE DEALER HAS ALREADY DID A TSB ON THEM ONCE AND THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED.

FIRST INCIDENT, SEVERAL WEEKS AGO: WITHIN TWO MINUTES AFTER STARTING CAR, ATTEMPTED TO ENTER HIGHWAY WITH A LEFT TURN. WITH LIGHT PRESSURE ON THROTTLE, ENGINE RAN TO HIGH RPM. WAS ABLE TO STEER INTO CENTER TURN LANE WHILE SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL. ENGINE RETURNED TO NORMAL MODE OF OPERATION, AND I PROCEEDED DIRECTLY TO MY DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP KEPT CAR FOR SEVERAL DAYS, FINDING NOTHING ( SERVICE SAID THEY CHECKED THE COMPUTER AND CALLED CHRYSLER), THEY SAID CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. SECOND INCIDENT: LAST SATURDAY (NOV. 10, 2007) MY WIFE USED CAR TO GO SHOPPING. APPROXIMATELY FOUR MINUTES AFTER START, ENGINE AGAIN OVERSPED: SHE PULLED OVER AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND SHUT IT DOWN. WHEN I ARRIVED, ATTEMPTED A RESTART; ENGINE WENT TO A HIGH RPM SO I SHUT IT DOWN AND LEFT IT PARKED WHILE I WENT TO THE DEALER. SERVICE WAS ALREADY GONE FOR THE DAY SO I TALKED TO THE MANAGER, WHO SET UP A TOW THROUGH CHRYSLER CORP. DEALERSHIPS SERVICE COULDN'T GET TO IT UNTIL WED. EVENING (NOV.14).

Summary

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A NEW 2006 JEEP LIBERTY AND HAVE HAD REPEATED PROBLEM WITH THE ROLLOVER PROTECTION PROGRAM SAFETY SYSTEM. HERE'S WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING: I WOULD BE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET IN A STRAIGHT LINE, SAY 30 MPH, AND THE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHTS WOULD GO ON, THEN MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKES WOULD BEGIN FIRING BECAUSE THEY THINK THAT THE CAR IS ABOUT TO ROLL OVER. AFTER A FEW SECONDS, THIS WOULD STOP. BUT AFTER THAT, SOMETIMES THE BRAKES LOCKED UP ALTOGETHER. OTHER TIMES DRIVING WENT BACK TO NORMAL EXCEPT FOR THE WARNING LIGHT STAYING ON. IT'S A LITTLE SCARY AND MORE THAN A LITTLE DANGEROUS FOR YOUR BRAKES TO LOCK UP THIS WAY. THE CAR WAS IN THE SHOP FOR WEEKS. I SPENT HUNDREDS ON RENTAL CARS. AND I HAD TO REPLACE MY BACK BRAKES AT 16,000 MILES. I BELIEVE THAT WAS DUE TO THIS SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONING. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. THIS IS A VITAL SAFETY SYSTEM, BUT THE DEALER AND JEEP DON'T REALLY WANT TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. *JB

2006 JEEP LIBERTY CRD BEGAN STALLING WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE. DRIVING STARTED OUT NORMAL, THEN SUDDENLY WHILE AT A STEADY 65 MPH THE JEEP BEGAN MAKING A LOUD NOISE AND NOT RESPONDING TO ACCELERATION. THIS WENT ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY FOR 5 MILES TO THE NEXT EXIT OFF THE FREEWAY, THEN IT OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY ON A HIGHWAY THEN SIDE STREETS UNTIL I MADE IT HOME. FROM A DEAD STOP IT WAS EXTREMELY SLUGGISH TO GET GOING AT ALL. THE SYMPTOMS POINT TO TORQUE CONVERTER ISSUES, I HAD PREVIOUSLY HAD THE TORQUE CONVERTER RECALL WORK DONE AT THE DEALER IN DECEMBER 2006, APPARENTLY THAT DIDN'T EVEN LAST A YEAR. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO STALL ON A FREEWAY, LET ALONE SIDE ROADS. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO SCHEDULE A VISIT FOR WELL OVER A WEEK, IT GOES IN TOMORROW. *TR

Summary

TODAY MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY DIESEL WOULD NOT START. I DISCOVERED THAT THE FUEL FILTER HAD LOST PRIME AND THERE WAS DIESEL FUEL LEAKING FROM THE HEATER PLUG CONNECTOR THAT IS CONNECTED TO THE FUEL FILTER HOUSING. I UNPLUGGED THE CONNECTOR AND NOTICED THAT THE YELLOW PLASTIC PLUG HEAD SHOWED NOTICEABLE SIGNS OF SCORCHING (BROWN DISCOLORATION) AROUND THE PIN HOLES. ALSO, WHEN I DISCONNECTED THE PLUG THERE WAS A HISS OF AIR ESCAPING FROM THE SYSTEM. NO DOUBT THIS AIR LEAK IS WHAT CAUSED MY INITIAL PROBLEM OF LACK OF FUEL PRESSURE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO FAIL TO START. HOWEVER, THE BIGGER CONCERN HERE IS THAT THE SYSTEM IS LEAKING FUEL AND THE HEATER SEEMS TO BE SHORTING OUT ITS ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WHICH IS A VERY DANGEROUS COMBINATION. *JB

Summary

ON WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2007, AT APPROXIMATELY 8:30PM BOTH MY HUSBAND AND I GOT IN OUR 2006 JEEP LIBERTY WITH ONLY 9,188 MILES TO DRIVE HOME. UPON TURNING ON THE VEHICLE WE TURNED UP THE AIR CONDITIONER AND HEARD A GRINDING SOUND. UNSURE OF WHAT THE NOISE WAS, MY HUSBAND TURNED DOWN THE AIR FOR A MOMENT. AS HE TURNED THE AIR BACK UP THE BLOWER FAN FELL OUT OF THE DASHBOARD AND INTO THE FOOT AREA OF THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT WHERE I WAS SITTING. THE BLOWER FAN WAS STILL TURNING AS IT MADE CONTACT WITH MY FEET BECAUSE IT DID NOT DETACH FROM THE ELECTRICAL WIRING. THE BLOWER FAN CONTINUED RUNNING UNTIL MY HUSBAND SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE. DUE TO THE FACT THAT I WAS WEARING SANDALS WHEN THE BLOWER FAN FELL OUT OF THE DASHBOARD MY TOES WERE SEVERELY LACERATED AND SUFFERED ABRASIONS. THESE INJURIES REQUIRED ME TO SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. DUE TO THIS INJURY I HAVE HAD TO MISS WORK, AS IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO WEAR SHOES, STAND FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME, OR SIT WITHOUT ELEVATING MY FEET. THIS INCIDENT ALONG WITH OTHER MULTIPLE FAULTY WINDOW COMPONENTS, ALL OF WHICH ARE WARRANTY ITEMS, CAUSE US CONCERN. PARTICULARLY SINCE THE BLOWER FAN WAS A RECALLED PART AND HAD RECENTLY BEEN REPLACED. WE NO LONGER FEEL THAT THIS VEHICLE IS SAFE TO OPERATE AND HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER HEADQUARTERS CUSTOMER SERVICE CALL CENTER FOR ASSISTANCE AND ARE AWAITING AN INSPECTION. *TR

Summary

I OWN A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. I HAVE TWO ISSUES. FIRST ONE IS THE REAR BRAKES. I REPLACED MY BRAKE PADS AT 34000 MILES TO FIND MY REAR OUTER BRAKE CALIPERS WERE NOT MAKING CONTACT WITH THE ROTOR ON EITHER WHEEL. THE SVC MGR AT GRINDSTAFF OF ELIZABETHTON, TN TOLD ME MY ROTORS WERE WARPED. THERE IS NO WAY THIS SHOULD HAPPEN AT 34000 MILES. I DRIVE 95% FOUR LANE HIGHWAY MILES TO WORK - NO RED LIGHTS AT ALL. YOU CAN SEE BY LOOKING AT THE ROTORS THE OUTER BRAKE PADS HAVE NEVER MADE CONTACT WITH THE ROTORS. WHEN THE OTHER SIX PADS WERE REPLACED THE OUTER REAR BRAKE PADS WERE NOT WORN ONE BIT AND THE OUTER BRAKE CONTACT SURFACE OF THE ROTOR IS NOT WORN AT ALL. THE SECOND ISSUE IS THE BRAKE ACTUATOR SOLENOID. MY JEEP WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK WHEN IT GETS EXTREMELY HOT INSIDE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT RUNNING THE A/C ABOUT 10 MINS. TO COOL THE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY OFF A LITTLE. IT STICKS IN PARK AND WILL NOT COME OUT. THE SAME DEALER TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT BECAUSE IT'S AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM EVEN WITH IT STILL UNDER WARRANTY (REPORTED AT 33000 MILES). THE SERVICE MGR AT GRINDSTAFF IN ELIZABETHTON, TN SAID THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PARTS BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. I AM VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THE RELIABILITY OF THIS VEHICLE. BOTH PROBLEMS I HAVE ARE SAFETY ISSUES, FACTORY DESIGN ISSUES AND DEALER WARRANTY COMPLIANCE. *JB

WHILE DOING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE I NOTICED DIESEL FUEL LEAKING OUT OF THE FUEL HEATER CONNECTOR LOCATED IN THE FUEL FILTER HOUSING.

I LEFT THE CONNECTOR DISCONNECTED FROM THE HOUSING UNTIL I HAD THE DEALER REPLACE THE FILTER HOUSING ASSEMBLY UNDER WARRANTY. THE BURNED/DAMAGED CONNECTOR WAS NOT REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP WHEN THE HOUSING WAS REPLACED. I DON'T HAVE THE OLD HOUSING, BUT I COULD TAKE A PICTURE OF THE DAMAGED CONNECTOR/TERMINAL THAT WAS STILL ON THE VEHICLE. ALSO, I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS EXCESS AIR IN THE FILTER HOUSING BEFORE THE REPLACEMENT OF THE HOUSING. AFTER THE HOUSING WAS REPLACED THERE WAS STILL EXCESS AIR, BUT NOT NEARLY AS MUCH AS BEFORE. WHILE THE CONNECTOR WAS OFF, AND I WAS WAITING FOR THE REPLACEMENT PART THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START 2 SEPARATE TIMES BECAUSE AIR WAS ENTERING THROUGH THE CONNECTOR. I HAD TO PUMP THE PRIMER THAT WAS INSTALLED ON THE FILTER HOUSING TO GET THE VEHICLE STARTED BOTH TIMES.*AK

ON 2006 JEEP LIBERTY RENEGADE ACTIVATES FOR NO APPARENT REASON, CAUSING VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER/CHOKE OUT/STUMBLE ON ACCELERATION. PROBLEM OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY UP TO 3 OR 4 TIMES A WEEK. TENDED TO HAPPEN OFTEN WHEN GOING AROUND CORNERS IN 1ST OR 2ND GEAR, AND SOMETIMES WHEN JUST GOING STRAIGHT. SOMETIMES THE LIGHT WILL FLASH WHILE THE LOSS OF POWER OCCURED, BUT SOMETIMES NOT.. WHEN THIS OCCURRED PAVEMENT WAS DRY AND THERE WERE NO ABRUPT MANUEVERS NO REASON FOR THIS SYSTEM TO ACTIVATE. THIS WAS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. PURCHASED VEHICLE NEW FROM DEALER IN NOVEMBER '06. DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED PROBLEM IN MARCH '07 , CLAIMING THEY WERE WAITING FOR A SOFTWARE UPDATE FROM CHRYSLER.

I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A JEEP DEALER IN OZARK ALABAMA AND IN DOTHAN ALABAMA. CHRYSLER TELLS THEM THAT THE AIR IN MY FUEL SYSTEM IS OK. I DEMAND TO KNOW WHAT IS A SAFE LEVEL OF AIR ALLOWED IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. NO ONE HAS MEASURED THE AMOUNT OF AIR IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. PLEASE TELL ME SO I CAN HAVE IT MEASURED BECAUSE I HAVE VOLUMES.

I KEPT THE TIRE WHICH HAS UNUSUAL SLICING THROUGH THE INSIDE EDGE WITH A FEW PENETRATIONS WITHIN THAT AREA AND ALL PERFECTLY LINED UP WITH EACH OTHER. I TOOK PICTURES OF THE TIRE ASSEMBLY AREA IN CASE THERE WOULD BE ANY INDICATION OF FAULTY PARTS. INVESTIGATOR ONLY SITED TIRE HIT SOMETHING AND BLEW OUT AS TOLD TO ME BY THE STATE FARM CLAIM AGENT. FOLLOW-UP OF THIS CASE WAS REJECTED BY SAME CLAIM AGENT BECAUSE BALL JOINT IS NOT AVAILABLE TO INSPECT. MY COMPLAINT TO THEM SAYING THEY ARE NOT REVIEWING THE EVIDENCE I DID SHOW THEM INCLUDING PICTURES FROM THE SCENE WHICH I STILL THINK SHOW IF THEIR WAS A FAILURE OF THIS NATURE OR NOT.

Summary

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED THE NEW VEHICLE THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. AT THAT TIME THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WAS SAID TO BE REPAIRED. SINCE THAT FAILURE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT RUNNING PROPERLY: THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DID NOT SEEM TO BE SHIFTING SMOOTHLY. FOR THE NEXT 8 MONTHS I TRIED TO HAVE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPAIR THE PROBLEM BUT THEY DID NOT, THE TOLD ME THE "PROBLEM" WAS NORMAL. IN JANUARY 2007, I NOTICED THE PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION WAS GETTING WORSE. I HAD TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR MORE THAN NORMAL TO GET THE CAR TO SHIFT AFTER MAKING A STOP. THE CAR WOULD THEN JERK INTO GEAR WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE ACCELERATOR AND I WOULD SPEED UP MORE THAN WAS SAFE. THE FINAL INCIDENT WAS WHEN I WAS ACCELERATING TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER A STOP AND THE CAR JERKED INTO GEAR ALONG WITH MAKING A CLUNKING SOUND. BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE, WHEN THE CAR JERKED INTO GEAR I WAS SENT OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THANK GOODNESS THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I DROVE TO THE NEAREST SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS QUICKLY DIAGNOSED AS A TORQUE CONVERTER PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS IN FOR REPAIRS FOR 22 DAYS BEFORE I GOT IT BACK. PARTS WERE REPLACED IN THE TRANSMISSION BUT ONLY AFTER APPROVAL FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING A LITTLE BETTER BUT IT IS STILL NOT RUNNING LIKE IT WAS WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM CAN BE DEADLY AND I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. *NM

I ACCELERATED TO APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST. ALL POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE BEGAN TO HESITATE AND THE VEHICLE COULD NOT GO FASTER THAN 5 MPH. IT COULD ONLY LIMP ALONG AT THIS SPEED WHILE I ATTEMPTED TO GET OFF THE ROAD. THIS CREATED A SERIOUS CONDITION FOR OTHER DRIVERS TO ATTEMPTING TO AVOID MY VEHICLE UNTIL I COULD REACH A SECTION A THAT ALLOWED ME TO PULL-OFF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE THEN STALLED WHEN I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER A FEW MINUTES, AND IT RAN IN A NORMAL MANNER. I SUBSEQUENTLY CONTINUED MY TRIP WITHOUT ANY OTHER INCIDENTS.

Summary

I OWN A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY CRD (DIESEL) I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY JEEP DRIVING SAFE NOW SINCE I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IN JAN 2006. MY TRUCK WILL SHUTTER AND ALMOST STALL ON A DAILY BASIS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. AND BACK IN MAY 2006 MY WHOLE TRUCK STOPPED DEAD ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY AND WENT INTO A "LIMP" MODE BRINGING ME FROM A 45 MPH SPEED TO ABOUT 2-3 MPH IN A SECOND. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND HAVE FOUND THAT THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE IN A FAULTY TORQUE CONVERTER IN THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE MEET SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET AND IN PERSON THAT HAVE ALL HAD THE SAME ISSUES. I HAVE TOLD MY DEALER ABOUT THIS WITH 0 OUTCOME OF A FIX, THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THE TRANSMISSION, BUT THIS HAS NOT HELPED EITHER. I ONLY HOPE THAT THE ISSUE DOES NOT HAPPEN WHILE IM ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MY WIFE, WITH THE SUDDEN SPEED LOSS AND LOCK UP OF MY REAR WHEELS I COULD ONLY HOPE THE CARS BEHIND ME COULD STOP IN TIME, COULD A LARGE SEMI THOUGH? THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS ISSUE AND ONLY DOING A SHORT INTERNET SEARCH WILL PROVE THIS. JUST SEARCH FOR LIBERTY CRD LOST TORQUE CONVERTER AND SEE WHAT YOU FIND. I HOPE THAT JEEP WILL HAVE A BETTER SOLUTION SOON FOR THIS. *JB

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY ON THE INTERSTATE. THE POWER STEERING FAILED AS I WAS EXITING THE EXPRESSWAY. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER INFORMED TOLD ME THAT HE KNEW ABOUT THE "JEEP LIBERTY" PROBLEM. THAT HE IS CURRENTLY PICKING UP AT LEAST 1 JEEP LIBERTY PER DAY DUE TO FAILED POWER STEERING. HE MENTIONED THAT HE THOUGHT THAT THE CURRENT DESIGN CAUSES THE BELT TO JUST SLIP OFF. HE THEN RAISED THE HOOD AND SHOWED ME THAT THE BELT WAS INTACT BUT JUST OFF AND WAS LYING ON ANOTHER PART OF THE ENGINE. HE MENTIONED THAT THE DEALER SHOULD SEE AND REPAIR THE PROBLEM; HOWEVER IT MAY COME OFF AGAIN. HE TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS THAT SAME PROBLEM THAT HE WAS SEEING WITH THE OTHER JEEPS THAT HE IS TOWING, THE BELT JUST SLIPS OFF. I DO NOT MAKE MANY ROAD TRIPS, JUST BACK AND FORTH TO WORK AND MY DAUGHTER'S VOLLEYBALL PRACTICE. WE WERE RETURNING FROM VOLLEYBALL AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. HE SUGGESTED THAT I INFORM THE DEALER OF OUR CONVERSATION, AND ALSO SUGGESTED THAT I REQUEST AN INQUIRY. BEING SUNDAY EVENING THE DEALER WAS CLOSED. I PLAN TO BE AT THE DEALER TOMORROW MORNING. *JB

Summary

I HAVE A 2003 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT AND I WAS RECENTLY DRIVING IT WHEN THE ENTIRE SYSTEM COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT RESTARTED AND I WENT A LITTLE FURTHER AND IT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AGAIN. I LOST POWER TO STEERING AND WAS FORTUNATELY ABLE TO GUIDE IT OFF THE MAIN HIGHWAY WITHOUT ANY POWER. IT WOULD NOT CONTINUE RUNNING AFTER THAT. IT WOULD START BUT THEN SHUT DOWN RIGHT OFF. I ENDED UP HAVING IT TOWED TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP WHERE I FOUND OUT TWO SENSORS IN THE COMPUTER HAD GONE BAD. I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE THE SENSORS REPLACED IN ADDITION TO THE TOW. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I HAD BEEN ON AN INTERSTATE GOING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND THOSE SENSORS WOULD HAVE GONE BAD CAUSING ME TO LOSE POWER IN TRAFFIC. I WONDER IF SOME FATALITIES AND INJURIES HAVE RESULTED FROM THIS SITUATION WITH OTHER VEHICLES. I THINK ITS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND JEEP SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED TO SEE IF THEY ARE USING DEFECTIVE SENSORS IN THE JEEP LIBERTY. I ONLY HAVE 65 THOUSAND MILES ON THIS VEHICLE AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT TAKING IT ON ANY LENGTHY TRIPS. I FEEL ITS A DANGER ON THE HIGHWAYS WITH THESE SENSORS. *NM

MY LIBERTY HAS 3 RECALLS, 2 HAVING DO WITH BIG SAFETY ISSUES- FIRE AND TIRES DETACHING. I FIRST CALLED PLANET DODGE (MIAMI, FL) FOR SERVICE APPT.; GAVE VIN AND ADVISED OF RECALLS- SURPRISE! WHEN I ARRIVED FOR MY APPOINTMENT; THEY SAID THE PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER! TODAY I CALLED TAMIAMI JEEP TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND WAS TOLD 1) IT'S VERY DANGEROUS AS TIRES MAY DETACH 2) THEY HAVE SOME PARTS, BUT NOT SOME BOLT, IF THAT IS REQUIRED! QUESTION- IF THESE ARE MANDATORY RECALLS AND ON SUCH POTENTIALLY SAFETY COMPROMISING PARTS- HOW CAN THE PARTS BE ON BACK ORDER FOR 3 MONTHS!! (THIS WILL BE MY FIRST VISIT TO TAMIAMI FOR SERVICE APPT-BUT WAS ALREADY ADVISED NOT ALL PARTS AVAILABLE- WHAT'S THE USE OF MAKING A APPOINTMENT IF THEY IS A NATIONWIDE OF A PART TO REPAIR A RECALL? WHAT HAPPENS IF MY TIRES DETACH OR MY CAR HAS "UNDERBODY FIRE" AS PER MY MOST RECENT NOTICE? I WOULD APPRECIATE A REPLY VIA EMAIL AND I WOULD LIKE SOMEBODY TO INVESTIGATE HOW SERVICE DEPARTMENTS CAN RUN OUT OF PARTS THAT HAVE MANDATORY RECALLS. I WAS NOT TOLD AT PLANET DODGE HOW SERIOUS THIS WAS AND HAVE BEEN DRIVING AROUND WAITING FOR THE PARTS TO ARRIVE.(LOWER BALL JOINT). *NM

ON SEP. THE 23RD I WAS ON I70E JUST OUT OF EFFINGHAM IL. WHEN MY JEEP LIBERTY CRD HAD A PROBLEM. THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE OR THUD THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY SPEED WENT FROM ABOUT 65 MPH DOWN TO 45 TO 50 ALMOST INSTANTLY. THE WHITE VAN THAT WAS BEHIND ME JUST TAPPED MY REAR BUMPER WITH NO DAMAGE. THE DRIVER OF THE VAN WENT ON AROUND ME AS I WENT OFF OF THE HYW. TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS PROBLEM CLEARED UP IN ABOUT 1 MIN. AND THE CAR THE WENT ON AS IT WAS OK. PLEASE REFERENCE ODI NUMBER 10167608. THIS INCIDENT IS THE SAME AS THAT REPORT. ALSO COMING BACK TO FLORISSANT ON THE 30TH OF SEPT 2006 THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED. HOWEVER MY CAR WAS THE ONLY CAR IN SIGHT AT THE TIME. I HAVE HAD THREE EVENTS WITH THIS TYPE OF FAILURE AND ONE OF THEM RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME JUST TOUCHING MY CAR. THE DEALER HERE IN FLORISSANT, MO. (MARTY CANCILLA DODGE. HAS YET TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. THE CHRYSLER DISTRICT REP IS GOING TO BE HERE ON THIS THURSDAYS TO TALK TO ME. AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY WHEN TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE A 60 TO 70 MPH. MY JEEP LIBERTY HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERS SHOP SINCE TUESDAY OF LAST WEEK. I DO HOPE THEY WILL FIX THIS PROBLEM. I KNOW FORM THE JEEP INTERNET FORUM THAT THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM WITH OTHER LIBERTY OWNERS WITH THE DIESEL CRD. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS. *JB

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY 2005 JEEP LIBERTY DIESEL FAILING TO STOP AT THE FIRST STOP SIGN IN THE MORNING. IT HAS ALSO NOT STOPPED AFTER BEING PARKED FOR A FEW HOURS. THE ENGINE CONTINUES TO PUSH THE VEHICLE FORWARD INTO TRAFFIC OR THE INTERSECTION/CROSS WALK. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO JEEP BUT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE COME VERY CLOSE TO RUNNING OVER STUDENTS ON THE CAMPUS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM IS ASSOCIATED WITH JEEP'S TORQUE CONVERTER PROBLEMS. MY WIFE HAS ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM SO IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DRIVING STYLE. THIS PROBLEM WILL EVENTUALLY KILL OR INJURE SOMEONE. *JB

I WAS DOING A RAPID DECELERATION FOR TRAFFIC SLOWING DOWN SUDDENLY ON US 30 IN YORK COUNTY, PA. I HEARD A LOUD CLUNK AS I SLOWED DOWN AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AS I TRIED TO GET BACK UP TO SPEED THE JEEP WOULD NOT GET OUT OF 3RD GEAR. I KEPT TO THE RIGHT AND GOT OFF AT THE FIRST EXIT. AFTER 5 MINUTES, I GOT BACK IN THE JEEP, STARTED IT UP, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STILL ON. IT SHIFTED SOMEWHAT NORMALLY ALTHOUGH IT DID SHUDDER A BIT. THE FOLLOWING DAY, 9/10/06, THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF AND APPEARS TO BE SHIFTING OK NOW. I CALLED THE DEALER WHO SAID THAT IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN I SHOULD BRING IT IN. I AM AWARE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS WITH THIS TORQUE CONVERTER/TRANSMISSION. I AM CONCERNED THAT IT WILL HAPPEN WHEN I HAVE LESS FLEXIBILITY TO RESPOND WITH A SUDDEN POWER LOSS, ESPECIALLY IN RAINY/SNOWY WEATHER, OR A CROWDED ROAD WITH ONLY ONE LANE.

ON THE 5TH. OF SEPTEMBER I WAS TRAVELING HOME FROM DAYTON, OH ON I70 AND JUST AS I WAS COMING INTO INDIANAPOLIS, IN. MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY CRD HAD A FAILURE IN ITS TRANSMISSION THAT CAUSED ME TO TEMPORARY LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR. I WAS DRIVING AT THE SPEED LIMIT OF 65 TO 70 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS A VERY LOUD KLUNK AND THE CARS SPEED DROPPED FROM ABOUT 65 MPH TO 40 TO 35 MPH ALMOST INSTANTLY AND THAT'S WHEN I ALMOST LOST CONTROL FOR JUST ABOUT A SECOND. I CHECK AND THERE WAS NO CARS EITHER BEHIND OR TO EITHER SIDE OF ME, WHICH WAS LUCKY FOR ME BECAUSE IF A CAR OR SEMI WOULD HAVE BEEN BEHIND ME I WOULD NOT BE HERE WRITING THIS. I PULLED OVER TO THE RIGHT HAND LANE AND STARTED TO LEAVE THE ROAD FOR THE SHOULDER. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR STARTED TO DRIVE NORMALLY AGAIN. I DROVE AT A REDUCED SPEED FOR AWHILE AND DID NOTICE THAT THER WAS A SLIGHT TRANSMISSION SHUDDER. THIS WENT AWAY AFTER A FEW MINUETES AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME TO FLORISSANT MISSOURI WITHOUT FUTHER TROUBLE. I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT I HAVE CHECKED WITH OTHER'S WHO OWN LIBERTYI'S AND SEVERAL OF THEM HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THOUGH THEIR'S WAS NOT AS HARROWING AS MIND. I TOOK MY JEEP JIBERTY DOWN TO THE DEALER'S THE FOLLOWING DAY AND LEFT IT THERE. THAT WAS TWO DAYS AGO AND THEY ARE STILL WORKING ON IT. I WILL BE SEEING THE SERVICE REP.
