ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
IN DECEMBER 2020, I STOPPED AT THE POST OFFICE TO DROP A LETTER IN THE OUTDOOR BOX. I ROLLED DOWN MY WINDOW, DEPOSITED THE LETTER, AND DROVE OFF. AS I WAS RAISING MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW, I HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND MY WINDOW DROPPED INTO THE CAR DOOR. IT WAS ANOTHER BROKEN WINDOW REGULATOR. IT WAS 30 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND I HAD OTHER ERRANDS TO RUN. I HAD TO DRIVE AROUND THE CITY WITH MY WINDOW HALF-WAY DOWN IN THE FREEZING WEATHER. JEEP HAD A RECALL IN 2010 STATING "WE ARE EXTENDING THE WARRANTY PERIOD FOR WINDOW LIFT PLATE REPAIRS BECAUSE SOME VEHICLES HAVE EXPERIENCED REPEAT CONCERNS WITH WINDOW COMPONENTS. IF YOU HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED THIS WINDOW REGULATOR CONCERN AND HAVE PAID TO HAVE IT REPAIRED, YOU MAY BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE REIMBURSEMENT." WHEN I WAS NOTIFIED ABOUT THE RECALL, I SUBMITTED RECEIPTS FOR THE THREE INCIDENTS I HAD WITH BROKEN WINDOW REGULATORS THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. CHRYSLER REIMBURSED ME MY FULL OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES OF $708.28 ON JANUARY 24, 2011. NOW I NEED THEM TO PAY ME $461.50 FOR THE WINDOW REGULATOR THAT WAS REPLACED ON APRIL 14, 2021. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM, AND MOST OF ALL, A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE DISTRACTION IT CAUSES TO A DRIVER. I RECENTLY READ THE FOLLOWING: DISTRACTED DRIVING IS A DEADLY PROBLEM'IT LED TO 3,142 DEATHS IN 2019, ACCORDING TO THE MOST RECENT STATISTICS FROM THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION (NHTSA). CHRYSLER SHOULD EXTEND THE WINDOW REGULATOR RECALL ON JEEPS AND REIMBURSE ME $461.50 BECAUSE THIS IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD. WHAT IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH AND MY SIX POUND BABY WAS IN HIS CAR SEAT IN THE BACK SEAT, AND HIS WINDOW FELL IN DUE TO A BAD REGULATOR? THAT WOULD BE A MAJOR DISTRACTION TO ME AND A DEFINITE SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY BABY. THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT A PARTS PROBLEM. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.

I'VE HAD LOWER BALL JOINTS, BUSHING AND CONTROL ARMS ALREADY REPLACED ONCE IN 2017 AND NOW THEY ARE OUT AGAIN. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY MOPAR THAT MY 2006 LIBERTY WAS MADE 5 WEEKS AFTER THE LAST ONE INVOLVED IN THE RECALL.THIS IS INEXCUSABLE. I'VE HAD 3 WINDOW REGULATORS REPLACED. THIS IS A FATALITY WAITING TO HAPPEN IF I DRIVE. I STARTED HEARING AND FEELING THE BALL JOINTS GOING BAD ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO. I HARDLY HAVE DRIVEN IT SINCE I WORK FROM HOME NOW. CAN CHRYSLER SEE ALL THESE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE BALL JOINTS AND STILL NOT ADD THESE 06 JEEP'S TO THAT RECALL. THIS IS NOT GOOD BUSINESS AT ALL. ALSO JUST HAD FRONT BRAKES DONE 1 YEAR AGO AND THEY NEED REPLACED ALREADY. IGNITION - MY KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION UNLESS I PUSH ON THE IGNITION CABLE. PLEASE HELP ME TO GET THESE PROBLEMS FIXED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FROM CHRYSLER.

THERE IS AN ACTIVE RECALL ON SOME 2006 JEEP LIBERTY'S, HOWEVER MINE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BUT IS HAVING THE ISSUES OF THE RECALL. I NEED MY VEHICLE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL SINCE IT IS A PROBLEM MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE FRONT BALL JOINTS (CONTROL ARMS) ARE OUT AND THAT IS WHAT THE RECALL IS FOR. THERE WAS ALSO A RECALL FOR THE REAR CONTROL ARMS AND WE HAD THAT RECALL CORRECTED. PLEASE ADD MY CAR TO THE RECALL LIST SO THSI CAN BE CORRECTED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FRONT WINDOW REGULATOR ISSUES. TODAY THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW FELL WHILE STATIONARY. A FEW MONTHS AGO, THE PASSENGER SIDE BROKE WHILE DRIVING. THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW IS SOUNDING LIKE IT MAY GO AT ANY MOMENT. I TOOK APART THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEN THAT WINDOW FELL THINKING IT JUST FELL OFF TRACK. I DISCOVERED A PIECE OF THE REGULATOR IS BROKEN. IN DOING RESEARCH I SEE THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE! THIS POSES A SAFETY HAZZARD!! THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN 2013 REGARDING THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN, A THUMPING WAS HEARD AND THE STEERING PULLED TO THE RIGHT. AFTER STOPPING TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE FRONT WHEEL WAS POSITIONED INWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE BALL JOINT FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED ON THE SAME WHEEL. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 06V288000 (SUSPENSION). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE LISTED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 119,000.

SERVICE BRAKES
YESTERDAY MY ABS AND ESB LIGHTS CAME ON. I DID NOTICE A BIT OF GRINDING TYPE NOISE APPROXIMATELY TWICE IN A FULL DAY OF DRIVING. TODAY, SAME THING, BUT LIGHTS WENT OFF A COUPLE OF TIMES RIGHT AFTER START UP. MY BRAKES AND TIRES WERE REPLACED IN LATE AUGUST. THE REPAIR SHOP SAID MY BRAKES WERE IN GOOD ORDER BUT THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR IS BAD. IF THIS DOESN'T CORRECT ISSUE, A WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND RESET THE STEERING ANGLE IS RECOMMENDED. NONE OF THESE ISSUES WOULD WARRANT THE ODD GRINDING NOISE WHEN BREAKING AND ONLY OCCASSIONALLY DOES THIS HAPPEN AND IT DID NOT OCCUR WHEN THE TECHNICIAN DROVE IT. THIS WAS ALL ON CITY STREETS AND DRIVING STRAIGHT IN GOOD WEATHER. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH INDICATES THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY OWNERS OF THE 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. MANY PEOPLE HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKES, SENSORS, ROTORS AND ALL THINGS BRAKES BUT STILL EXPERIENCE THE LIGHTS AND THE NOISE. OFTEN, THERE IS REFERENCE MADE TO THE CLOCK SPRING. SINCE I SAW SO MANY COMPLAINTS AND MY REPAIRMAN WAS SO VAGUE THAT HIS RECOMMENDATIONS WOULD ACTUALLY SOLVE THE ISSUE, I FELT IT IS WORTHY OF INVESTIGATING.
