FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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

VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR
ON 01/02/12 MY PASSENGER FRONT WINDOW FELL DOWN AND WOULD NOT ROLL BACK UP. NOW, SINCE THAT TIME, ON 03/16/12 MY DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW HAS FELL DOWN TOO AND WILL NOT ROLL UP. WITHIN, TWO MONTHS BOTH OF MY WINDOWS HAVE FAILED. THERE IS SOME KIND OF MALFUNCTION GOING ON HERE. DOES THIS MEAN IN FOUR MORE MONTHS, THAT ALL OF MY WINDOWS WILL FAIL? SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT NOT JUST I AM HAVING. THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHERS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR JEEP. UPDATED 04/02/12 *BF

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE NOIL FILTER IS IN A BAD PLACE THAT CAUSES OIL TO COLLECT IN ALL AREAS OF THE ENGINE AND SKID PLATES THAT CAUSE EXCESS DRIPS ON MY GARAGE FLOOR. SMOKE ON THE HOT ENGINE PARTS AND COULD CAUSE A FIRE EACH TIME THE OIL FILTER IS CHANGED. I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY REMIND THE DEALER TO COMPLETELY SPRAY AND DEGREASE THE UNDER AREAS AND SIDES OF THE ENGINE EACH TIME OR I HAVE TO RETURN NUMEROUS TIMES ABOUT OIL LEAKS. IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO CREATE OIL PROBLEMS BECAUSE OF THE FILTER LOCATION.... *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
BEGINNING AT APPROXIMATELY 35,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, FUEL WOULD SPIT-BACK IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE FUEL NOZZLE SHUT OFF. THE AMOUNT OF FUEL SPIT BACK WAS SIGNIFICANT, DRENCHING THE LOWER HALF OF THE PERSON FUELING THE VEHICLE. AT FIRST, WE THOUGHT THIS MIGHT BE AN ISSUE WITH THE FUELING PUMP, BUT FOUND IT REPEATED ITSELF AT EVERY PUMP AND AT EVERY STATION WE UTILIZED. IT DOES NOT SEEM TO DEPEND ON RATE OF FUELING, AS EVEN ATTEMPTING TO FUEL SLOWLY RESULTS IN A DANGEROUS SPIT BACK OF FUEL AND POTENTIAL DRENCHING OF THE INDIVIDUAL. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY THE DEALER AND A DEFECTIVE VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. INTERESTINGLY, AFTER REPORTING THE LABOR CHARGE OF $200 TO INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE, WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY HAVE SEEN A NUMBER OF JEEPS WITH THIS PROBLEM. ONE WOULD THINK COMMON PROBLEMS COULD BE FOUND WITHOUT THIS LEVEL OF LABOR. THE VALVE IN QUESTION CANNOT BE OBTAINED AS AN INDIVIDUAL UNIT AND THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK MUST BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF APPROXIMATELY $900. GIVEN THAT NUMEROUS OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES OF THIS YEAR, INCLUDING WRANGLER, DODGE DURANGO, LIBERTY, AND OTHER MODELS ACROSS THE CHRYSLER, DODGE, AND JEEP BRAND EXHIBIT THIS PROBLEM AND THAT LACKING SIGNIFICANT MOVING PARTS, ONE CANNOT JUSTIFY A FUEL TANK COMPONENT FAILURE AFTER 35,000 MILES, THIS ISSUE IS UNQUESTIONABLE A DESIGN FAILURE. GIVEN THE IMMEDIATE HAZARD OF FIRE, LONG TERM HEALTH RISKS, AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF REPEATED EVENTS OF FUEL SPIT BACK FROM THESE VEHICLES REQUIRES INTERVENTION. *TR

VISIBILITY
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ON DECEMBER 1 2011 AND ABOUT A MONTH OR A LITTLE MORE LATER (IN JANUARY) THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW STARTED MESSING UP (WHEN YOU ROLLED IT UP IT STARTED GOING UP CROOKED AND YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR HAND A STRAIGHTENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE ROLLING IT UP ALL THE WAY. ALSO, THE SWITCHES THAT ARE IN THE MIDDLE AREA BETWEEN THE SEATS, THE ONE FOR THE BACK DRIVER'S SIDE PASSENGER SIDE, QUIT WORKING ALL TOGETHER. TOWARD THE END OF FEBRUARY OR THE BEGINNING OF MARCH WE WERE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD ( GRANDSON WAS IN THE BACK LUCKILY ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE IN HIS CAR SEAT) AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE BACK PASSENGER WINDOW STARTED MALFUNCTIONING (WHEN YOU WENT TO ROLL IT UP THE MOTOR THAT ROLLS IT UP STARTED MAKING NOISE) AND THE WINDOW DROPPED AND SOMEHOW JAMMED THE DOOR COMPLETELY SHUT AND WE CANNOT OPEN IT. TODAY WHILE WE WERE OUT WE NOTICED THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW IS STARTING TO ACT UP. THAT'S THREE OUT OF 4 MESSING UP OR MESSED UP AND ONE HAS CAUSED US NOT TO BE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR AT ALL. WE CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE ALL THIS FIXED ON OUR OWN AND IT IS NOT THAT OLD OF A VEHICLE AND THE MILEAGE IS NOT REALLY THAT HIGH AND IT IS STILL IN GOOD SHAPE OTHERWISE AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ FROM SOME OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS FILED ON HERE FOR THE 2007 JEEP LIBERTY THIS SEEMS TO BE A REPEATING ISSUE.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE UP WITH GASOLINE, IT SPEWS OUT OF THE INTAKE, DRAINING ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND OF THE GAS STATION. NOT ONLY IS THIS A WASTE OF A RESOURCE AND MONEY BUT IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AS ONE SPARK COULD IGNITE THE ENTIRE GAS STATION KILLING INNOCENT CHILDREN AND OTHER CITIZENS. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THIS SITE AND MANY OTHERS. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BEFORE PEOPLE ARE HURT. *TR

WHEELS
I WAS HEADING TO FRIEND'S PLACE AND HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF THE HIGHWAY WHEN I PULLED INTO HER STREET. I WENT UP A SLIGHTLY RAISED DRIVEWAY IN ORDER TO TURN THE CAR AROUND WHEN I HEARD A LOUD, GRINDING SOUND. I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE SOMETHING HAD GOTTEN STUCK UNDER THE CAR, SO I GOT OUT TO CHECK BUT SAW NOTHING. I GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND CONTINUED TO REVERSE IT IN ORDER TO PARK, BUT THE NOISE STARTED RIGHT BACK UP AGAIN AND STEERING HAD NOW BECOME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. I EVENTUALLY PARKED THE CAR, GOT OUT AND NOTICED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL WAS BENT IN BECAUSE THE BALL JOINT HAD COME OUT. I KNOW THAT THERE WERE RECALLS REGARDING THIS IN 2003, 2006 AND 2009. I AM PLANNING TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW TO ALERT THEM OF THE SITUATION. HOWEVER, ANY HELP THAT YOU CAN HELP ME WOULD BE GREAT! THANK YOU! *TR

I AM REPORTING THIS DUE TO THE PRIOR REPORTS OF AIR BAGS BEING TRIGGERED AND EXPLODING IN 2002 JEEP LIBERTY WITHOUT PROVOCATION. I AM ADVOCATING AN AIR BAG PRODUCT RECALL FOR THE 2002 JEEP LIBERTY.

AIR BAGS
THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IN OUR 2002 JEEP LIBERTY COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY FOR NO APPARENT REASON. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED RECURRING INCIDENTS OF THIS PROBLEM SINCE EARLY 2011. WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO CORRELATE ANY PARTICULAR CONDITIONS OR SITUATIONS THAT MAY TRIGGER THESE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT EVENTS. WE HAVE HAD AN AUTO MAINTENANCE FACILITY LOOK FOR ANY DIAGNOSTIC ALARMS OR ALERTS VIA DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER EVALUATION AND THEIR FEEDBACK WAS THAT THERE IS NO APPARENT OR OBVIOUS REASON FOR THE AIR BAG LIGHT TO TURN ON. OUR CONCERN WITH THIS SITUATION IS THAT IT MAY BE AN INDICATION OF A POTENTIAL AIRBAG DEFECT SUCH AS THE ONE CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION BY THE NHTSA RELATED TO RANDOM DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS IN 2002 JEEP LIBERTY VEHICLES. WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE. THANK YOU. *TR
