FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
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. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE THE SLIDER SUNROOF AND IT FLEW BACKWARDS WHILE GOING TO WORK IN SEPTEMBER, 5 MONTHS AFTER I HAD IT . TOOK IT TO 3 CAR DEALERSHIPS (ONE CHARGED ME $79.00 TO LOOK AT IT) TO BE TOLD IT HAD TO BE REPLACED AND WOULD BE $2000. I REQUESTED HELP FROM CHRYSLER, THE CASEWORKER SAID SHE COULD HELP ME AND THEN I WAS DENIED. THE SLIDER SUNROOF IS A HAZARD. I TRIED MULTIPLE THINGS TO HAVE IT REPAIRED BUT THERE WAS NO REPAIR ONLY TO REPLACE THE WHOLE THING. I HAD IT STRAPPED DOWN, PLASTIC AND TAPED UNTIL I COULD GET IT FIXED AS WITH NO TOP SOME WATER DAMAGE OCCURRED AND FOR A NEWER VEHICLE IT LOOKED TERRIBLE. WHILE THAT WORKED FOR AWHILE THE TOP AGAIN FLEW OFF TOTALLY JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO. I TURNED IT IN TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY AS I DID NOTHING TO THE TOP FOR IT TO MALFUNCTION AS IT DID. I AM GETTING IT REPAIRED NOW WITH SO FAR JUST PAYING MY DEDUCTIBLE BUT AM VERY WORRIED IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN. IT WAS A POOR THOUGHT OUT IDEA AS THE TOP IS JUST CANVAS WITH A FEW VERY SMALL, THIN METAL RODS THAT SNAPPED APART WHEN IT FLEW BACKWARDS. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL ALL THE SLIDER SUNROOFS AND IMPLEMENT ANOTHER IDEA FOR THESE. ALSO AFTER SEEING WHAT THEY ARE MADE OF AND HOW THESE SUNROOFS ARE PUT TOGETHER I DON'T BELIEVE THEY WOULD PROTECT VERY WELL IF YOU DID HAPPEN TO FLIP THE VEHICLE. *TR

EVEN THOUGH I LIVE JUST 10 MILES FROM TWO STATES WHERE THE RECALL IS IN EFFECT. *TR

ENGINE
I WAS AT THE CAR WASH AND I WAS RUNNING MY A/C AND EVERYTHING WAS WORKING GREAT. ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WAS HOT AIR COMING OUT OF THE BLOWER WHICH HAS ONLY BEEN WORKING IN SPEEDS 3 AND 4. IT IS EXTREMELY HOT RIGHT NOW IN AMERICA. TODAY IN FORT WAYNE IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE 105 AND TOMORROW 106. I HAVE TAKEN EXCELLENT CAR OF THIS JEEP AND SERVICED IT REGULARLY. THIS HAS COME TO GREAT SHOCK TO ME AND MY WIFE AS WE HAVE JUST MOVED TO THE FORT WAYNE AREA INDIANA. WE ARE DOWN TWO VEHICLES WITH THIS HEAT. HER CAR BLEW A TIMING CHAIN AND IT WAS ALSO A CHRYSLER PRODUCT. WE COULDN'T AFFORD TO FIX THE ENGINE FOR THAT AND THE COST FOR THE A/C IS 866.00 FOR THE JEEP. I HAVE READ A LOT OF BLOGS ON OTHERS LOSING THEIR A/C IN THIS YEAR OF JEEP. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE A STROKE OR WORSE AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX A SIX YEAR OLD JEEP. *TR

STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN I WENT TO TURN MY CAR ON YESTERDAY IT WOULD TURN BUT WOULD NOT TURN THE CAR ON. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED AND STILL IT WOULD NOT TURN ON. AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE IGNITION SWITCH DISCOVERED A SING BROKE PART BEFORE THE TUMBLER. IN ORDER TO REPAIR THIS, THE ENTIRE STEERING COLLUMN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. TWO JEEP SHOPS TOLD ME THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, BUT I HAVEN'T SEEN A RECALL. A GOOGLE SEARCH BRINGS UP HUNDREDS OF UNSATISFIED OWNERS. IT COULD BE IN THE THOUSANDS. *TR
