FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL: PRE-HEATER
TODAY MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY DIESEL WOULD NOT START. I DISCOVERED THAT THE FUEL FILTER HAD LOST PRIME AND THERE WAS DIESEL FUEL LEAKING FROM THE HEATER PLUG CONNECTOR THAT IS CONNECTED TO THE FUEL FILTER HOUSING. I UNPLUGGED THE CONNECTOR AND NOTICED THAT THE YELLOW PLASTIC PLUG HEAD SHOWED NOTICEABLE SIGNS OF SCORCHING (BROWN DISCOLORATION) AROUND THE PIN HOLES. ALSO, WHEN I DISCONNECTED THE PLUG THERE WAS A HISS OF AIR ESCAPING FROM THE SYSTEM. NO DOUBT THIS AIR LEAK IS WHAT CAUSED MY INITIAL PROBLEM OF LACK OF FUEL PRESSURE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO FAIL TO START. HOWEVER, THE BIGGER CONCERN HERE IS THAT THE SYSTEM IS LEAKING FUEL AND THE HEATER SEEMS TO BE SHORTING OUT ITS ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WHICH IS A VERY DANGEROUS COMBINATION. *JB

VISIBILITY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT, EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
ON WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2007, AT APPROXIMATELY 8:30PM BOTH MY HUSBAND AND I GOT IN OUR 2006 JEEP LIBERTY WITH ONLY 9,188 MILES TO DRIVE HOME. UPON TURNING ON THE VEHICLE WE TURNED UP THE AIR CONDITIONER AND HEARD A GRINDING SOUND. UNSURE OF WHAT THE NOISE WAS, MY HUSBAND TURNED DOWN THE AIR FOR A MOMENT. AS HE TURNED THE AIR BACK UP THE BLOWER FAN FELL OUT OF THE DASHBOARD AND INTO THE FOOT AREA OF THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT WHERE I WAS SITTING. THE BLOWER FAN WAS STILL TURNING AS IT MADE CONTACT WITH MY FEET BECAUSE IT DID NOT DETACH FROM THE ELECTRICAL WIRING. THE BLOWER FAN CONTINUED RUNNING UNTIL MY HUSBAND SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE. DUE TO THE FACT THAT I WAS WEARING SANDALS WHEN THE BLOWER FAN FELL OUT OF THE DASHBOARD MY TOES WERE SEVERELY LACERATED AND SUFFERED ABRASIONS. THESE INJURIES REQUIRED ME TO SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. DUE TO THIS INJURY I HAVE HAD TO MISS WORK, AS IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO WEAR SHOES, STAND FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME, OR SIT WITHOUT ELEVATING MY FEET. THIS INCIDENT ALONG WITH OTHER MULTIPLE FAULTY WINDOW COMPONENTS, ALL OF WHICH ARE WARRANTY ITEMS, CAUSE US CONCERN. PARTICULARLY SINCE THE BLOWER FAN WAS A RECALLED PART AND HAD RECENTLY BEEN REPLACED. WE NO LONGER FEEL THAT THIS VEHICLE IS SAFE TO OPERATE AND HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER HEADQUARTERS CUSTOMER SERVICE CALL CENTER FOR ASSISTANCE AND ARE AWAITING AN INSPECTION. *TR

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
MY LATEST JEEP, A 2006 LIBERTY (WITH FEWER THAN 16000 MILES), HAS GONE TO THE SHOP 5 TIMES FOR 5 BROKEN WINDOWS (CABLES/REGULATORS). THEY JUST ROLLED DOWN ONE DAY AND REFUSED TO ROLL BACK UP AGAIN. THE FIRST WINDOW BROKE ABOUT ONE MONTH AFTER I PURCHASED THE SUV. ANOTHER OF THE WINDOWS HAS BROKEN TWICE, WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF THE FIRST "REPAIR." THEN I HAD TO TAKE IT IN RECENTLY WITH TWO WINDOWS BROKEN AT THE SAME TIME. IT'S RIDICULOUS! *JB UPDATED 10/10/07. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL, FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
OUR JEEP LIBERTY DIESEL AS BEEN RUNNING TERRIBLY LATELY, AND THEN STALLED AND WOULD NOT START. AFTER LOOKING FURTHER INTO THE CAUSE,I FOUND THAT THE FUEL FILTER HEAD HAD A FUEL LEAK AT THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION FOR THE FUEL HEATER. IT APPEARS THAT THE HEATER IS OVER HEATING AND MELTING THE NON-METALLIC FILTER HEAD WHERE THE CONNECTOR PENETRATES AND SEALS. THE CONNECTOR THAT PLUGS INTO THE FILTER HEAD IS BLACK AROUND ONE OF THE PINS. I HAVE LEFT THE HEATER UNPLUGGED, AND FOR NOW HAVE SEALED THE LEAK WITH A FUEL TANK EPOXY PATCH. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:FLOOR SHIFT
I OWN A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. I HAVE TWO ISSUES. FIRST ONE IS THE REAR BRAKES. I REPLACED MY BRAKE PADS AT 34000 MILES TO FIND MY REAR OUTER BRAKE CALIPERS WERE NOT MAKING CONTACT WITH THE ROTOR ON EITHER WHEEL. THE SVC MGR AT GRINDSTAFF OF ELIZABETHTON, TN TOLD ME MY ROTORS WERE WARPED. THERE IS NO WAY THIS SHOULD HAPPEN AT 34000 MILES. I DRIVE 95% FOUR LANE HIGHWAY MILES TO WORK - NO RED LIGHTS AT ALL. YOU CAN SEE BY LOOKING AT THE ROTORS THE OUTER BRAKE PADS HAVE NEVER MADE CONTACT WITH THE ROTORS. WHEN THE OTHER SIX PADS WERE REPLACED THE OUTER REAR BRAKE PADS WERE NOT WORN ONE BIT AND THE OUTER BRAKE CONTACT SURFACE OF THE ROTOR IS NOT WORN AT ALL. THE SECOND ISSUE IS THE BRAKE ACTUATOR SOLENOID. MY JEEP WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK WHEN IT GETS EXTREMELY HOT INSIDE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT RUNNING THE A/C ABOUT 10 MINS. TO COOL THE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY OFF A LITTLE. IT STICKS IN PARK AND WILL NOT COME OUT. THE SAME DEALER TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT BECAUSE IT'S AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM EVEN WITH IT STILL UNDER WARRANTY (REPORTED AT 33000 MILES). THE SERVICE MGR AT GRINDSTAFF IN ELIZABETHTON, TN SAID THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PARTS BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. I AM VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THE RELIABILITY OF THIS VEHICLE. BOTH PROBLEMS I HAVE ARE SAFETY ISSUES, FACTORY DESIGN ISSUES AND DEALER WARRANTY COMPLIANCE. *JB
