STEERING, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING ON OUR 2006 JEEP LIBERTY UNTIL WE HAD A SEVERE COLD SNAP (JEEP WAS BOUGHT IN FL AND NOW RESIDES IN DE) AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT DEVELOPED A SCREECHING, STRAINING NOISE IN THE STEERING AND ALL AROUND DRIVING.IT DIDN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED WE DROVE THE NOISE WAS ALWAYS THERE AND CONSISTENT, WHETHER YOU TURNED A CORNER, PUT ON THE BRAKES, BACKED UP OR DROVE ON THE ROAD NORMALLY ALMOST SOUNDED LIKE THE BRAKES WERE DRAGGING BUT WE HAD THE BRAKES CHANGED IN APRIL 2013. TOOK JEEP TO OUR AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE WITH BAD UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS. DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS WOULD HAPPEN ALL OF A SUDDEN BUT IN ENDED UP A VERY COSTLY REPAIR. ENJOY OUR JEEP BUT IF THERE WAS ANY RECALLS FOR BALL JOINTS WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE NOT STOPPING GAS FROM SURGING OUT OF THE TANK AND ALL OVER THE GROUND/PERSON/CAR. THIS OCCURS EVEN AFTER THE GAS PUMP AS 'CLICKED OFF' AND IS NOT FILLING THE TANK. CHRYSLER AS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON MODEL YEAR 2007 & 2008 JEEP LIBERY'S, BUT THIS IS A 2006 WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE FILLING UP WITH GAS, IF YOU TRY TO FILL THE TANK, GAS POURS OUT OF THE TANK BEFORE THE HOSE CAN SHUT ITSELF OFF. GAS COVERS THE SIDE OF THE CAR, IS ALL OVER ANYONE STANDING NEAR AND THE GROUND. WHEN I WALK AWAY FROM THE CAR, THE GAS STATION ATTENDANT SAYS I MUST STAY WITH THE CAR DURING THE GASSING PROCESS. IS IT SAFE TO HAVE A CAR WHERE THE AUTO SHUTOFF DOESN'T WORK FOR A FLUID AS FLAMMABLE AS GAS? I HAVE TRIED MANY GAS STATIONS, THIS OCCURS AT EVERY STATION, AND HOPED THE PROBLEM WOULD CORRECT ITSELF, IT HAS NOT. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS AT REST FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE HOUR, I CAME OUT TO DISCOVER THAT THE REAR DRIVER-WINDOW HAD FALLEN DOWN INTO THE DOOR. NOW THE DOOR DOES NOT OPEN EITHER FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. IN CHICAGO, THIS IS A MAJOR HAZARD RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF WEATHER CONDITIONS. ALSO, HAVING A DOOR THAT WON'T OPEN COULD BE A SIGNIFICANT EMERGENCY ISSUE IN CASE OF NEEDING TO ESCAPE FROM THE VEHICLE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM FAILS TO STOP DELIVERING FUEL AFTER TANK IS FULL; THUS RESULTING IN FUEL OVERFLOWING THE TANK AND ONTO THE CAR EXTERIOR, GROUND, ETC. THIS OCCURS REGARDLESS OF THE SPEED AT WHICH THE FUEL IS DELIVERED INTO THE TANK. THIS HAS OCCURRED THROUGHOUT OUR OWNERSHIP OF THIS JEEP, AND THE INCIDENT DATE REPRESENT THE APPROX. DATE OF PURCHASE. THIS SAME ISSUE WAS OCCURRING IN THE 2008 JEEP WRANGLERS (OF WHICH I OWN ONE) AND WAS SUBJECT TO A RECALL. UPON THE RECALL REPAIR (NEW TANK, ETC), THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED. PRIOR TO THE 2006 JEEP LIBERTY, WE OWNED A 2003 JEEP LIBERTY, WHICH DID NOT HAVE THAT ISSUE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK TO FULL WITH THE PUMP NOZZLE SET TO AUTOMATIC, THE TANK SPITS OUT 1/2 TO 1 GALLON OF GAS BEFORE THE NOZZLE DISENGAGES. THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS PUMP. THE SAME PUMP WAS USED ON OTHER CARS WITHOUT INCIDENT. THIS HAPPENS ON THIS JEEP LIBERTY REGARDLESS OF WHAT PUMP IS USED. ON OCCASIONS, THIS EXCESS FUEL HAS GOTTEN ONTO MY CLOTHES WHICH POSES A SAFETY HAZARD. I'VE INVESTIGATED THIS ON THE INTERNET AND MANY JEEP OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I NO LONGER USE THE AUTOMATIC NOZZLE SETTING BUT THIS IS UNSATISFACTORY BECAUSE OTHERS FILLING THE TANK ON MY BEHALF MAY NOT BE AWARE OF THIS. SOME AREAS OF THE COUNTRY DON'T ALLOW THE USE OF SELF-SERVICE PUMPS. *TR

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE NEAR CRATER LAKE NATIONAL PARK. THE POWER WINDOW MOTOR SYSTEM BROKE ON THE LEFT REAR PASSENGER DOOR, THUS ALLOWING THE WINDOW TO FREE FALL INTO THE DOOR FRAME. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS AND HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR OF JEEP. THEN NOW IN DECMEBER, THE DRIVERS WINDOW MOTOR SYSTEM HAS BROKEN AGAIN CAUSING THE GLASS WINDOW TO FREE FALL INTO THE DOOR FRAME. IF THIS IS ALL TRUE ABOUT THIS SYSTEM, AND THE FACT THAT I NOW HAVE 2 BROKEN POWER WINDOW MOTORS WHICH WILL COST ME NEARLY $900 TO FIX, I FEEL THIS ITEM SHOULD BE ON A NATIONAL RECALL LIST FOR JEEP TO REPLACE THESE ITEMS SO THEY WILL NOT FAIL. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT COULD CAUSE GLASS TO BREAK DURING DRIVING TIME AND INJURING DRIVERS. *TR

SUSPENSION, WHEELS, STEERING
THE LOWER AND UPPER BALL JOINTS ARE DETERIORATING AND CAUSE INNER WEAR ON BOTH FRONT TIRES. THE CAR HAD AN ALIGNMENT AND NEW TIRES LESS THAN ONE YEAR OLD. THE ACCELERATED INNER WEAR AND CUPPING RESULTED IN A BLOWOUT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE JEEP LIBERTY HAS SERIOUS SUSPENSION PROBLEMS. WHEN I SPOKE TO THE JEEP/CHRYSLER COOPERATION, THEY WERE UNWILLING TO ASSIST IN FIXING THE PROBLEM. WHEN COMPLETING RESEARCH, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2006 JEEP LIBERTIES. JEEP FAILS TO RECOGNIZE THAT THE VIN MODEL OF JEEP HAS A DEFECT IN LOWER AND UPPER BALLS JOINTS FOR MY MODEL. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE JEEP COMPANY FOR THE LACK OF ATTENTION AND ASSISTANCE FOR SUCH A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, STRUCTURE
MY COMPLAINT IS ACTUALLY ABOUT NHTSA! IN JUNE OF 2013, NHTSA PETITIONED CHRYSLER TO RECALL (RECALL NUMBER N46) JEEP LIBERTY VEHICLES INCLUDING MODEL YEARS 2002 - 2007. ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE, MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY IS INCLUDED. APPARENTLY, THERE IS A RISK OF FUEL TANK PUNCTURE, AND SUBSEQUENT FIRE IN THE CASE OF REAR-END COLLISION. CHRYSLER, AFTER INITIALLY REFUSING TO ISSUE THE RECALL, CAVED IN TO NHTSA PRESSURE. WHEN I SPOKE WITH CHRYSLER TODAY, FIVE MONTHS AFTER THEY AGREED TO THE RECALL, THEY INDICATED THAT THEY ARE WAITING ON NHTSA REVIEWS AND APPROVAL OF CHRYSLER'S RECALL PROPOSAL TO INSTALL A TRAILER HITCH IN UNDER-EQUIPPED VEHICLES, IN ORDER TO STRENGTHEN THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE AND PREVENT GAS TANK PUNCTURES IN THE EVENT OF A LOW-SPEED REAR-END COLLISION. IT SEEMS COUNTER INTUITIVE THAT NHTSA WOULD PRESSURE A MANUFACTURER TO ISSUE A RECALL, AND THEN HOLD UP THE PROCESS OF REPAIRING AFFECTED VEHICLES WHEN THE MANUFACTURER FINALLY AGREES. IF THIS ALLEGED VEHICLE DEFECT ACTUALLY PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD, WHY ALLOW FIVE MONTHS TO PASS WITHOUT ACTION? *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH AT NIGHT, A CLICKING SOUND EMITTED INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE HEADLIGHTS BEGAN TO ILLUMINATE INTERMITTENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE A WEEK ON AVERAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY SWITCH WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED AFTER THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. THE CURRENT FAILURE WAS NOT REPAIRED BECAUSE THE SERVICE WARRANTY EXPIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.
