ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
CAUSE: SEAT GOT LOOSE GOT JAMMED IN THE VALVE AND BUSTED THE PISTON, EFFECT: ENGINE CHOKES OUT. WONT IDLE. MISFIRES. PULLED NO CODES. I HAVE FOUND THIS AND BROKEN VALVE SPRINGS ARE AN EXTREMELY COMMON FLAW IN JEEPS 2002-5. IN 2006 CHRYSLER CHANGED THE INTAKE PARTS FOR IT AND NEVER NOTIFIED THE PUBLIC AS TO THE REASON. THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE LISTED AS BEING ABLE TO BE BOUGHT REBUILT OR NEW, HOWEVER YOU CANNOT FIND ANY REBUILT ONES. REASON BEING YOU WOULD HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM BECAUSE ITS DEFECTIVE. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. NO DEATHS=NO RECALL -[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EACH TIME I GO TO HAVE GAS PUT IN MY VEHICLE (NO MATTER WHAT GAS STATION) OR WHETHER THE GAS IS ALMOST FULL OR ALMOST EMPTY. WHEN THE GAS IS BEING FILLED IT WILL SPIT THE GAS BACK OUT UNLESS YOU FILL IT VERY, VERY, VERY SLOW AND WAIT FOR THE GAS TO SETTLE. IT SPITS IT OUT ON THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK AND HAS A VERY BAD FUME SMELL OR ODOR AFTER HAVING GAS PUMPED EACH TIME. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY CONCERN AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL VIA CHRYSLER-JEEP WITH ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ ONLINE. *TR

SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING ON A PRIVATE STREET, HEARD A "POP" NEAR THE BACK OF VEHICLE. I STOPPED AND CHECKED TO SEE IF I HAD A FLAT, AS THE CAR WAS SWERVING AS IF I HAD A FLAT TIRE. HOWEVER, UPON INSPECTION, TIRE WAS FULLY INFLATED BUT IT WAS RUBBING THE BACK OF THE WHEEL WELL. THE WHEEL WAS OFF-CENTER AND THE VEHICLE ITSELF WAS LOWER TO THE WHEEL. I PROCEEDED TO PULL INTO MY DRIVEWAY. AFTER VIEWING UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE, NOTICED THE RUSTED BROKEN ARM OF THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM (LEFT REAR). THE OTHER SIDE IS RUSTED AND CRACKED AS WELL (RIGHT REAR). FORTUNATELY I WAS TRAVELING IN A SUBDIVISION AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED. OTHERWISE I FEEL HAD I BEEN ON A BUSIER HIGHWAY AT HIGHER RATE OF SPEED, MAY HAVE LOST CONTROL AS THE CAR WAS SWERVING WHILE I WAS ONLY DOING 20MPH AND UNDER. *TR

RIGHT REAR WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED AND WINDOW FELL INTO THE DOOR. AFTER PART WAS REPLACED BY DEALER, SAME WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED 16 MONTHS LATER. THIS WINDOW IS NEXT TO MY 4 YEARS OLD CAR SEAT AND IS NEVER OPENED. FOR ME, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THOUSANDS OF IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS CAN BE FOUND ON VARIOUS SITES. JEEP IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND REFUSES TO FIX IT. *TR

MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY'S BACK DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR IS BROKEN. THE WINDOW WILL NOT STAY UP AND FALLS DOWN PART WAY WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING AND NEEDS TO BE PULLED BACK UP MANUALLY WHEN YOU STOP. WHEN YOU PRESS THE BUTTON FOR THE WINDOW, YOU CAN HEAR THE WINDOW MOTOR RUNNING, BUT THE WINDOW WILL NOT GO UP. THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD JUST OVER 48,000 MILES. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT FOR THE 2006 JEEP LIBERTY AND AN EXTENDED WARRANTY HAS BEEN ISSUED BY CHRYSLER TO REPAIR 2006 JEEP LIBERTY'S WITH THIS PROBLEM WHICH WERE MANUFACTURED AFTER MARCH, 2006. MY JEEP WAS MANUFACTURED IN FEB. OF 2006. THIS WINDOW REGULATOR WARRANTY NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO ALL 2006 JEEP LIBERTY'S. ACCORDING TO COMMENTS ON THE INTERNET, THIS REPAIR CAN BE $400 AND UP. *TR

VISIBILITY, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT FRONT TURN SIGNAL/MARKER/PARKING LAMP ASSEMBLY/MODULES HAVE SUDDENLY AND FOR NO APPARENT REASON ARE LEAKING AND HOLD WATER/CONDENSATION. THEREFORE, RESULTING IN REDUCE LIGHTING, DIM, OR NON-FUNCTIONAL FRONT TURN SIGNALS. AND THE RESULTING EXPOSURE TO WATER, AND POSSIBLE CORROSION OF ELECTRICAL WIRING, CONTACTS, AND LAMPS. WHICH, MAY INDEED RESULT IN A SYSTEM ELECTRICAL SHORT OR PERHAPS POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL FIRE. A NEW 2009 JEEP, THAT HAS NEVER BEEN OFF-ROAD NOR IN ANY KIND OF STANDING OR DEEP WATER, WITH ONLY 26+ K MILES SHOULD NOT HAVE A DUAL FAILURE OF THE SAME COMPONENT AT EXACTLY AT THE SAME TIME. THANK YOU. *TR
