UNKNOWN OR OTHER
CANNOT FILL GAS TANK WITHOUT GAS SPEWING OUT EVEN IF TRYING TO FILL IT VERY SLOW. I'M ONLY ABLE GET A FEW DOLLARS IN A TIME, BUT ALWAYS END UP TAKING A "GAS BATH." ALSO WHEN I PURCHASED THE JEEP LIBERTY IN 2009 I CANNOT LET THE GAS AUTO FILL OR IT WILL "SPLASH OUT" WHEN IT CLICKS OFF. I HAVE TO WATCH IT FILL AND SHUT OFF AT 16.5 GALLONS OR LESS IF COMPLETELY EMPTY OR I'LL HAVE A MESS ON MY HANDS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FROM THE TIME I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I CALLED WHEN FIRST RECEIVED THE RECALL, THEN AGAIN IN JUNE AND SPOKE TO A JENNIFER, STATED THAT THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER AND THAT I WAS IN THE 100 AND THEY WERE ON 30. 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.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, STRUCTURE
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

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ABS, BAS/ESP, TCS INDICATOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATE, VEHICLE LOSES POWER, BRAKES ARE APPLIED ( MOST LIKELY RIGHT FRONT AS CAR PULLS TO RIGHT) RELEASING THROTTLE CANCELS THE BRAKING. 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. A LOCAL SHOP CHECKED FOR FAULT CODES BUT THERE WERE NONE IN MEMORY; I HAVE IT SCHEDULED FOR FURTHER TESTS 09/16/2015.

LEFT REAR WINDOW FELL WITH A LOUD BANG. CAR HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD AND GARAGED. MILEAGE AROUND 30,000. DEALER FIXED IT FOR A CHARGE OF $550.00. I HAVE BEEN ON LINE AND FIND THAT THIS IS A CONTINUING PROBLEM BECAUSE OF DEFECT IN THE WINDOW CONTROLLER. THIS IS A DEFECT AND IT IS WRONG FOR CUSTOMERS TO BE SADDLED FINANCIALLY WITH THIS ISSUE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
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. I HAVE BEEN HAVING BREAKING SYSTEM ISSUES AS LONG BACK AS 13 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, I TRIED TO OPERATE FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT REAR WINDOWS AND THEY WOULD NOT ROLL UP OR DOWN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND THEY REPAIRED BOTH. HOWEVER, SINCE THEN THERE HAVE BEEN 7 MORE INSTANCES ON ALL WINDOWS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. CURRENTLY, THE BACK PASSENGER WINDOW IS NOT OPERATING AND THE DEALER REFUSES TO REPAIR IT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS A NEWLY OPENED DODGE, CHRYSLER, JEEP DEALER IN MY TOWN. THIS IS JUST ONE OF THE MANY PROBLEMS I HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH THIS JEEP LIBERTY, INCLUDING THE PCM IS CURRENTLY NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY MAKING THE VEHICLE IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE. AT MY WIT'S END WITH THIS VEHICLE.

STEERING
MY DAUGHTERS FRONT WHEEL BROKE LOOSE FROM HER CAR WHILE TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT. THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL CAME OFF ABOUT 2 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE LEFT WHEEL COMING OFF. BOTH SIDES HAD BROKEN LOWER BALL JOINTS. JEEP DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE CAR WAS NOT COVERED SINCE THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLE. IF THIS HAD HAPPEN GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE OR HIGHWAY IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER. THE CAR HAD TO BE REPAIR ONSITE, BECAUSE BOTH TIMES THE WRECKER COMPANY SAID IT MAY DAMAGE THE FINDER IF MOVED.

VISIBILITY
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
