TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
MY SON AND A COUPLE OF HIS FRIENDS AND I WERE TRAVELING TO A MARLINS GAME ,ABOUT A 2 HR. DRIVE FROM OUR HOUSE. I HAD MADE A VISUAL CK. OF TIRES WHILE FUELING CAR BEFORE GETTING ON I-95. ALL LOOKED FINE. ABOUT 3-4 MILES AS I WAS GETTING ON I-95 THE LEFT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT. I PULLED OFF TO A SAFE AREA AND CHANGED TIRE. SOMETHING SEEMED ODD TO ME SO THE NEXT DAY I INSPECTED THE TIRE TO SEE IF I COULD FIND ANY REASON FOR THE BLOW OUT. TIRES ARE NOT THAT OLD AND THEY APPEARED TO HAVE PLENTY OF TREAD [3/8"]. TO THE UNTRAINED EYE ALL SEEMED NORMAL AS I COULD FIND NOTHING ON THE TREAD AREA THAT WOULD INDICATE ANY DAMAGE TO THAT PART OF TIRE. THE OUTER SIDEWALL WAS SHREDDED AS I HAD TO DRIVE ABOUT A 1/4 MILE TO GET OFF THE ON RAMP TO A SAFE AREA TO CHANGE TIRE , INNER SIDEWALL SHOWED LITTLE DAMAGE. I RECALL HITTING OR RUNNING OVER NOTHING THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED ANY DAMAGE TO TIRE. MY CONCERN IS THAT I HAVE THESE TIRES ON THE OTHER WHEELS AS WELL AS SPARE TIRE .THIS IS MY WIFE'S CAR AND I WANT TO BE SURE SHE AND MY SON WILL BE SAFE. I'VE HAD TIRES GO FLAT BEFORE BUT AFTER MAKING A POINT OF CHECKING THEM PRIOR TO OUR TRIP AND THE ODD WAY THEY WENT FLAT I BECAME SUSPICIOUS THAT MAYBE SOMETHING IS WRONG HERE. I'LL HAVE TO TAKE THEM BACK TO DEALER FOR REPLACEMENT I'LL SEE IF THEY'LL ALLOW ME TO KEEP TIRE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO INSPECT IT . THANK YOU JIM DIRKS *TR ..

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
RE: 2007 JEEP LIBERTY - SENT YOU A CERTIFIED LETTER ON AUGUST 16. POST OFFICE SHOWS IT WAS DELIVERED ON AUGUST 20. NEVER RECEIVED THE RETURNED RECEIPT. WAS MAILED TO 400 - 7TH STREET IN WASHINGTON, DC. WAS THIS LETTER RECEIVED? HOW LONG IS THE PROCESSING BEFORE WE RECEIVE ANY RESPONSE? SHOULD I MAIL IT AGAIN TO 1200 NEW JERSEY AVENUE SE? PROBLEM: WITH THE DRIVER'S FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE VEHICLE IS STOPPING, THE ENGINE RACES AND THE CAR LURCHES FORWARD. IT REQUIRES BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE FOR THE CAR TO STOP. IT HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE 4 TIMES AND THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT LOCATE THE PROBLEM. THE LETTER IS MORE DETAILED, 3 PAGES IN LENGTH. I WILL BE HAPPY TO RE-SEND IT IF YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED IT. LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR RESPONSE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION IN THIS MATTER. *TR

IN THE PAST 4-5 MONTHS I HAVE HAD 2 WINDOWS (PASSENGER REAR AND FRONT) FALL DOWN. ALSO THE DRIVER REAR JUST QUIT WORKING BUT DID NOT FALL. THE LATEST WAS THE PASSENGER FRONT THAT FELL AT NIGHT WHILE ON VACATION WHICH RESULTED IN IT RAINING IN THE VEHICLE. EACH TIME IT HAS BEEN THE WINDOW REGULATOR THAT WAS REPLACED. *TR

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
WHILE I WAS AWAY FROM MY JEEP, THE RIGHT REAR WINDOW ROLLED DOWN AND BROKE -- AGAIN. THAT WAS THE 6TH TIME THIS OCCURRED IN THIS VEHICLE TO THESE WINDOWS. NOT MORE THAN 10 MINUTE LATER, THE LEFT REAR WINDOW BROKE, EXACTLY AS THEY ALL HAVE DONE. SO, THIS IS THE 7TH TIME EACH OF 4 WINDOW MECHANISMS IN THIS JEEP HAVE FAILED. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY CRD. THE EGR FAILED AT 17K MILES. IT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. IT FAILED AGAIN AT 52K MILES, I PAID FOR THAT REPLACEMENT. NOW THE ENGINE IS PLUGGED WITH CARBON FROM THE EGR SYSTEM. EACH TIME THERE IS A FAILURE OF THE EGR, IT WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE THE ENGINE TO SUDDENLY "LOOSE POWER" AND RUN AS IF IN A "LIMP" MODE EVEN THOUGHT THE OBD DIAGNOSTICS FAIL TO ACKNOWLEDGE SUCH. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT CHRYSLER WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE. IT CAUSES AIR POLLUTION AND A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE ABILITY TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE NORMALLY IS GREATLY HINDERED WITHOUT WARNING. CONSUMER IS ASKED TO PAY $2,300.00 FOR A TEMPORARY REPAIR FOR THE FACTORY'S POOR DESIGN. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING MY JEEP LIBERTY 4X4 WITH 6 CYL. ENGINE AND 4-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION NEW, IT WOULD OCCASIONALLY EXHIBIT AN ABRUPT THUNK WHEN DOWNSHIFTING INTO FIRST GEAR AS IN COMING TO A STOP. THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER SAID IT WAS COMMON TO THE VEHICLE AND A "QUIRK." IT CONTINUED TO DO THIS OFF AND ON UNTIL I REACHED APPROXIMATELY 43,000 MILES AT WHICH TIME THE CONDITION WORSENED. NOW, IT WILL ALSO DISPLAY A LOUD THUNK AND JERK IN THE REAR FEELING AS IF YOU HAVE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND WHEN STARTING TO MOVE FORWARD FROM A STOP IN 1ST GEAR. I KNOW I WAS NOT HIT AS THERE WAS NO ONE BEHIND ME ONE TIME AND I PULLED OVER TO CHECK ON A SECOND TIME TO BE SURE THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF BEING HIT. THIS HAPPENS APPROXIMATELY 2 TIMES PER WEEK, DEPENDING ON HOW OFTEN THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. THE FEELING IS VERY ALARMING. I CALLED ONE JEEP DEALER WHO SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO UNLESS THEY CAN REPRODUCE THE SYMPTOM OR IF A WARNING LIGHT WAS ON TO READ THE ERROR CODES (NO WARNING LIGHT HAS EVER GONE ON). THE SECOND DEALER SAID THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT FOR $100, BUT COULD NOT GUARANTEE ANYTHING. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
WHEN I PARKED MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY AND ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE KEY AND PULL IT OUT OF THE IGNITION, THE KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT. IT WOULD GO NO FURTHER THAN THE LOCK POSITION. IT APPEARS THAT THE SHIFTING CABLE THAT READS WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK AND ENABLES ONE TO REMOVE THE KEY HAD FAILED AND WAS NOT READING THAT MY CAR WAS ACTUALLY IN PARK. I HAD TO PRESS THE CABLE DOWN IN ORDER TO REMOVE MY KEY. I DID A GOOGLE SEARCH FOR THE PROBLEM AND IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE 2004-2006 JEEP LIBERTY. NOW MY SHIFTER DOES NOT STOP BETWEEN GEARS, IT SIMPLY SLIDES THROUGH THEM WITHOUT HAVING TO PRESS THE BUTTON THAT WOULD NORMALLY LOCK THEM IN PLACE. I CAN SHIFT FROM REVERSE TO PARK WITHOUT PRESSING THE BREAK AND WITHOUT PUSHING THE BUTTON. IN ORDER TO PULL MY KEY OUT I HAVE TO TAKE THE COVER OFF AND PRESS DOWN ON THE CABLE. NOW THAT I NOTICED IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH OTHER JEEP LIBERTY'S, I THINK A RECALL IS IN ORDER. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
2 WEEKS AGO WE HAD AN ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT SERVICED. IT CAME BACK AFTER PUTTING IT ON THE ANALYZER THAT CYLINDER 6 HAD MISFIRED SO THEY JUST RESET THE LIGHT AND SAID IF IT CAME BACK ON TO COME IN AND THEY WOULD REPLACE THE SPARKPLUG. 2 WEEKS LATER THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND THE UPPER AND LOWER SEAL BLEW. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE DEPT. THAT IT WOULD BE 6 TO 8 WEEKS TO GET THE PART AND THAT WE ARE NUMBER 60 ON THE LIST FOR THE SAME PARTS. IS THERE A RECALL PROBLEM THAT WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT? *TR
