SUSPENSION
RECALL REGARDING FRONT LOWER BALL JOINT; 06V288000. WHILE AT FIRESTONE DURING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND CHECK UP, I RECEIVED NOTICE OF A RECALL ON MY CAR - I WAS I WENT TO THE NEARBY JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NOT APPLICABLE FOR MY CAR EVEN THOUGH I SHOWED THEM THE PAPERWORK FROM FIRESTONE DIRECTLY. JEEP DID NOT FIX MY LOWER BALL JOINT AND THEN APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS LATER, I WAS DRIVING TO SCHOOL AND MY CAR JOLTED AS IF I HIT A POT-HOLE BUT THE ROAD WAS CLEAR. I TURNED ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND PULLED OVER TO INSPECT. MY TIRES WERE NOT LOW ON AIR THERE WAS NOTHING ABNORMAL UNDER THE HOOD. I PARKED MY CAR AND LOOKED UNDERNEATH TO FIND A VERY OBVIOUS DISLOCATION. I CALLED A FRIEND WHO COULD IDENTIFY WHAT PART IT WAS EXACTLY AND HE SAID IT WAS MY LOWER BALL JOINT. MY CAR WAS A SAFETY HAZARD AND HAS BECOME A HUGE HASSLE TO DEAL WITH AND JEEP IS REFUSING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. IT IS BEING REPAIRED IN A SHOP NOW AND I AM SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FROM JEEP.

YESTERDAY, THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW SLID INTO DOOR, WILL NOT COME UP. CAN HEAR REGULATOR BUT WINDOW IS STUCK IN DOOR. VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET, ALL WINDOWS WERE UP, AND ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER THE WINDOW HAD DISAPPEARED INTO THE DOOR. I CALLED CHRYSLER BUT THE VIN IS NOT PART OF CHRYSLER'S NOTICE TO OWNER'S IN 2010 REGARDING FAULTY WINDOW REGULATORS.

AS I WAS LEAVING THE GROCERY STORE I HEARD A SLAM NOISE IN THE BACK PASSENGER AREA OF MY JEEP LIBERTY. I PULLED BACK INTO THE PARKING AND SAW THAT MY REAR PASSENGER WINDOW HAD FALLEN INTO THE DOOR. I WENT ONLINE TO INQUIRE ABOUT IT AND SAW THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR THE MAJORITY OF 06 JEEP LIBERTY OWNERS ALIKE. I CALLED CHRYSLER JEEP AND BECAUSE THERE'S NO RECALL ON MY VIN I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR ALL REPAIRS MYSELF. IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE AND I'M NOT ABOUT TO PAY FOR ANOTHER FAULTY PART LIKE EVERYONE ELSE DID. MY FATHER PAID TO FIX THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW IN MARCH. THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW FELL IN AUGUST 2015. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY CHRYSLER DUE TO ALL OF THESE CONSUMER COMPLAINTS!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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")

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.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY WILL NOT START OR CRANK. THE COMPUTER DOES NOT SHOW ANY CODES. THE BATTERY HAD POWER, THE RELAYS ARE FINE AND THE STARTER IS FINE. WHEN YOU ARE IN THE JEEP AND TRY TO START IT, IT DOES NOTHING. ITS LIKE YOU FORGOT AND LEFT IT OUT OF PARK AND TRIED TO START IT. THE JEEP DOES NOT CLICK OR EVEN ATTEMPT TO START. NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. I LOVE MY JEEP AND IT HAD BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES, AND RECALLS. I STILL LOVE MY LITTLE LIBERTY. IF YOU COULD JUST HELP WITH A DIAGNOSIS, I WOULD BE FOREVER GRATEFUL!

THE BACK RIGHT PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATOR BROKE AND THE WINDOW FELL DOWN INTO THE DOOR. IT HAS BEEN TAPED FOR A WHILE BECAUSE IT IS ASTRONOMICALLY EXPENSIVE TO FIX.
