EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK IT OVERFLOWS. I HAVE SPOKEN TO OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME CAR AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE SAME PROBLEM AND IN ONE CASE THE PERSON TOLD ME THAT JEEP REPAIRED IT AS PART OF RECALL, BUT I DO NOT SEE IT AS A RECALL SPECIFICALLY, AND WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER ABOUT IT THEY SAID IT IS NOT A RECALL ITEM FOR THE CAR. THIS IS A LIBERTY SUBMODEL

STRUCTURE:BODY, VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
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.

ENGINE
PARKED VEHICLE AFTER DRIVING 20 MIN. GOING ABOUT 70MPH. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF, THE CAR STARTED STEAMING. I POPPED THE HOOD TO FIND COOLANT AND WATER OVERFLOWING FROM THE COOLANT RESERVOIR. I GOT THE CAR TOWED TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC WHO AFTER DOING EXTENSIVE DIAGNOSTICS TO FIND THE LEAK WITHIN THE SYSTEM. TOOK THE MANIFOLD OFF THE ENGINE AND REALIZED IT WAS CAUSED BY BAD/ CRACKED HEADS ON THE ENGINE CONNECTING TO MANIFOLD. A LOT OF THIS TYPE OF ENGINE HAS THIS PROBLEM, SEEN BY THE LOCAL AUTO MECHANIC IN VAIL VALLEY, COLORADO WHERE JEEPS ARE COMMON. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM.
