VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
TODAY WAS THE 3RD TIME MY WINDOW ELECTRICAL WINDOW MECHANISM HAS BROKE. THE FIRST TIME, CHRYSLER PAID TO FIX IT AS IT WAS ONE OF THEIR - HIDDEN - DEFECTS THAT THEY DO NOT WISH TO PUBLISH. NOW THEY SAY THAT THEY NO LONGER COVER THE DEFECT AS THE CAR IS OLDER. IF THERE IS A DESIGN ISSUE AND A KNOWN ONE, SHOULD THEY NOT HAVE TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT? NOW I WILL HAVE TO SPEND ANOTHER $250 OR MORE TO GET IT FIXED. JEEP NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. *TR

POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION BROKE! EVERY OWNER OF A 2005 OR 2006 JEEP LIBERTY DIESEL THAT I HAVE SPOKEN WITH,HAS HAD TO REBUILD OR REPLACE THEIR TRANSMISSION.THE MANUFACTURE HAD A RECALL TO TUNE DOWN ENGINE TO HELP PREVENT PROBLEM,I HAD THIS DONE,BUT THIS IS ONLY A TEMP FIX,(A BAND-AID). THE REAL PROBLEM IS A WEAK LINK IN THE TRANNY,(THE TORQUE CONVERTER). WHEN THE TORQUE CONVERTER FAILS IT DESTROYS THE TRANSMISSION.. WHICH IS WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO ME. MY JEEP IS 8 YEARS OLD, BUT I ONLY HAD 68,000 MILES ON IT. THE REASON I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WAS FOR THE LONG SERVICE LIFE OF THE 2.8L DIESEL (300,000 PLUS MILES BEFORE REBUILD). I LIVE IN A SOMEWHAT RURAL AREA AND I HAVE SPOKE WITH OVER 12 PEOPLE WHO HAS EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THERE 2.8L DIESEL TRANSMISSION #545RFE. I KNOW THIS IS A NATIONWIDE PROBLEM,I HAVE GONE ONLINE AND SPOKEN WITH ALOT OF LIBERTY OWNERS AND ALL HAVE HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS,I HAVE ALSO SPOKE WITH MANY FORMER LIBERTY OWNERS WHO SAID THEY WOULD NEVER DRIVE ANOTHER JEEP, BECAUSE LACK OF DEALER CONCERNS OVER TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS..THEY HAD! I AM CORRECTING THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING THE DAMAGED STOCK TRANSMISSION,WITH A HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AFTERMARKET ONE MADE FOR THE TORQUE OF A DIESEL ENGINE.. I FEEL CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT HALF TO ENDURE THAT LARGE OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE,TO REPAIR A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM! THANK-YOU *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER IN 2013 RECALL NUMBER N46 AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 13V-252. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED FURTHER NOTIFICATION TO TAKE MY JEEP IN TO BE REPAIRED. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER WHO SAID THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION OR PARTS TO REPAIR OUR JEEPS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE....WHY HAS IT TAKEN A YEAR TO GET THE PARTS TO THE DEALERS TO FIX OUR JEEPS? WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GAS, THE PUMP'S HANDLE WILL SUDDENLY AND FORCIBLY STOP (AS THOUGH THE TANK WERE FULL) AND GASOLINE WILL SPIT OUT OF THE FUEL OPENING, DESPITE THE FACT IT IS GALLONS AWAY FROM BEING FILLED TO FULL CAPACITY. THIS HAPPENS WITH EVERY DIFFERENT GAS STATION'S PUMP HANDLES, SO TO BE CLEAR, IT IS NOT AN ISSUE WITH THE PUMP OR HANDLE, OR THE INDIVIDUAL'S ABILITY TO PUMP GAS CORRECTLY; IT IS AN ISSUE WITH THE GAS LINE OF THIS VEHICLE AND THE INDICATOR OR REGULATOR OR WHATEVER PART IS DEFECTIVE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I FEEL IT IMPORTANT TO MAKE OTHERS AWARE OF WHAT WAS JUST FOUND TO BE WRONG WITH MY 2012 JEEP LIBERTY. THE RED BRAKE LIGHT INDICATOR CAME ON AND STAYED ON, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS NOT ON AT THE TIME. TOOK THE CAR TO OUR TRUSTED LOCAL MECHANIC AND ONCE THE CAR WAS PLACE UP ON THE RACK AND TIRES REMOVED YOU COULD SEE THE PROBLEM. THE FRONT BRAKE LINE IS SITUATED IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT HITS AGAINST THE STRUTS EVERY TIME THE WHEEL IS TURNED. CREATING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, THE BRAKE LINE COULD BE SEVERED AT ANYTIME CAUSING IMMEDIATE BRAKE FAILURE. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED AS A CERTIFIED USED VEHICLE WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT IT HAD COMPLETED THE POINT CHECK AND THAT WE WERE PLACING OUR NEW DRIVER IN A SAFE VEHICLE. VERY DISAPPOINTING TO FIND OUT OTHERWISE. JEEP/CHRYSLER IS BEING VERY UNRESPONSIVE TO THIS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. NOT ONLY IS THIS A SAFETY ISSUE BUT IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN THE LOSS OF LIVES. VERY ANGRY! *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS THE GAS TANK BELCHES FUEL EVERY TIME IF THE TANK IS FILLED UP. I NEVER TOP OFF THE TANK BUT BY THE TIME THE AUTOMATIC RELEASE ON THE FUEL PUMP SHUTS OFF ABOUT 1/2 SECOND LATER SEVERAL OUNCES OF FUEL POUR OUT OF THE GAS TANK AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ONTO THE GROUND. IT SEEMS LIKE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE. IS THERE A RECALL OR INVESTIGATION FOR THIS PROBLEM? *JS

SUSPENSION
WHEN TURNING RIGHT ON THE CORNER FROM PHEBE LN IN SLC, UT. INTO 1700 E. GOING AT 10 MPH I HEARD A LOUD NOISE. I WAS ABLE TO STIR THE CAR NEXT TO THE SIDEWALK. I EXIT THE VEHICLE TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED AND I SAW THAT THE WHEEL WAS SEPARATED FROM THE CAR. I CALLED THE TOWING TRUCK TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE REPAIR SHOP. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THE LOWER FRONT BALL JOINT AND THE AXLE GOT SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE. I WAS REALLY LUCKY BECAUSE I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 9 YEAR OLD GIRL AND WE HAD JUST ARRIVED FROM PARK CITY, UT. INTO SLC. AND IF THE BALL JOIN SEPARATION OCCURRED WHEN I WAS GOING DOWN AND 65 MPH THE SCENARIO COULD BE MUCH MORE DIFFERENT. *JS
