POWER TRAIN
MANUAL TRANSMISSION SLAMS OUT OF 1ST GEAR INTO NEUTRAL WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. THIS COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS REAR-END COLLISION BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS SUDDENLY OUT OF GEAR AT A CRITICAL POINT OF ACCELERATION. IT IS UNPREDICTABLE AND THE ONLY WAY TO PREVENT IT IS TO HOLD THE STICK SHIFT SECURELY WHILE ACCELERATING. IT HAPPENS QUITE FREQUENTLY.

#10789231November 9, 2015
STRUCTURE:BODY, SERVICE BRAKES
THE VEHICLE WAS IN NEED OF NEW BRAKES, ROTORS, PARKING BRAKE SHOES AND HARDWARE AT 93000 MILES. A GRINDING NOISE FROM THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS PRESENT WHEN IN MOTION AND ASSUMED TO BE WARPED ROTORS. WHEN THE ROTORS WERE REMOVED IT WAS FOUND THAT THE PARKING BRAKE BACKING PLATE AND THE BOLTS THAT SECURE IT HAVE RUSTED TO THE EXTENT THAT THE PLATE IS LOOSE AND NO LONGER SECURED, WHICH MAKES THE PARKING BRAKE DEFECTIVE AND IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND FOR A VEHICLE UNDER 10 YEARS OLD AND 100000 MILES TO HAVE PARTS RUST SO SEVERELY THAT THEY FAIL IS AN ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD ADDRESS, AS IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS PART WAS NOT MADE TO LAST.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
HAD BOTH REAR WINDOWS AND THEIR REGULATORS REPLACED AT 24,612 MILES AS BOTH WINDOWS HAD FALLEN INTO THE DOORS. THE REPAIR WAS MADE UNDER GOODWILL AS THE VEHICLE WAS MORE THAN 3 YEARS OLD BUT UNDER 36,000 MILES. THE PROBLEM WITH THE REAR WINDOW APPEARED AGAIN BEFORE 49,000 MILES AND I MUST BEAR THE COST OF THE REPAIR, WHICH WILL BE WELL OVER $300. WE LIVE IN CONSTANT FEAR OF USING OUR POWER WINDOWS AS EVENTUALLY THEY WILL COLLAPSE INTO THE DOORS AGAIN FOR ANOTHER EXPENSIVE FIX AND MORE TIME WAITING FOR REPAIRS AT THE DEALERSHIP. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW AND STILL OWN IT. THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING WHEN THE WINDOW PROBLEM HAPPENED.

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS:UNDERBODY SHIELDS, SUSPENSION
[XXX]: COMPLAINT ABOUT JEEP BACKING PLATES: 2006 JEEP LIBERTY VIN # [XXX].I AM WRITING ABOUT A SAFETY PROBLEM WE ENCOUNTERED OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS. ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS; 8-13 AND 9-3-15 I ALMOST DROVE OFF THE ROAD WHEN SUDDENLY MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE,LOUD, CLAMORING NOISE OCCURRED, WHICH MADE IT IMPERATIVE THAT I PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD/AWAIT ASSISTANCE. THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE BACKING PLATES HAD CORRODED AND RUSTED TO SUCH A SEVERE DEGREE THE CAR WAS INOPERABLE WITHOUT EXPENSIVE REPAIRS (557.97 EACH TIME).THE CLOSE TIMING OF THESE INCIDENTS SHOW THAT THE LIFESPAN OF THESE PARTS WERE NOT MADE TO LAST. JEEP DECLINED THE REQUEST TO REIMBURSE EXPENSES PAID, AND FAILED TO ADDRESS THE BIGGER SAFETY CONCERN. I WORRY SOMEONE WILL NOT BE AS LUCKY WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURS. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN A VEHICLE <10 YRS OLD USED SOLELY AS A PASSENGER VEHICLE, IS MADE OF SUCH POOR QUALITY PARTS THAT THEY LITERALLY RUST OFF THE VEHICLE WHILE IT IS IN TRANSIT. IN DOING RESEARCH ON THE EXTENT OF THESE BACKING PLATE ISSUES, I SEE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN A SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS FROM A QUALITY, FINANCIAL, AND SAFETY PERSPECTIVE, YET I SEE THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO RECTIFY THIS ISSUE. IT IS MY VIEW THAT I SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS QUALITY ISSUE BEFORE I ALMOST HAD ACCIDENTS TWICE WITHIN A 3 WEEK PERIOD. THIS MAKE AND MODEL HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT OF SEVERAL CONSUMER SAFETY RECALLS, I AM SURPRISED THAT THIS HAS BACKING PLATE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN BROUGHT TO ATTENTION OF OWNERS SO THAT IT COULD BE RESOLVED IN AN EXPEDITIOUS MANNER AT THE COST OF JEEP CORP. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT THEIR COMPANY WAS AWARE OF AND PARTS SHOULD NOT ?ROT? OFF QUALITY VEHICLES. JEEP RESPONDED ON 9-29-15 AND FAILED TO MENTION THE SAFETY ISSUE RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM. I ATTACHED THEIR LETTER VIA ATTACHED FILE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
TODAY THE JEEP DEALER SAID THE FRAME RAIL WAS NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO INSTALL THE HITCH AS CALLED FOR IN THE RECALL. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER COMPLAINT LINE AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING CHRYSLER CAN DO. SO NOW I MUST DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE, HOW CAN I SELL IT, OR EVEN TRADE IT IN. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO NOW? I READ THAT VEHICLES LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD COULD BE PURCHASED BACK. THESE JEEPS WERE RECALLED FOR REAR SUSPENSION COMPONETS RUSTING UP SO NOW THAT THE FRAMES IS RUSTING I HAVE TO DRIVE A DEATH TRAP. I AM WONDERING HOW MANY TIMES CHRYSLER IS USING THESE EXCUSES IN ORDER TO NOT DO ANYTHING. ONE COULD EVEN THINK THIS RECALL WAS CRAFTED IN SUCH A WAY THAT CHRYSLER COULD GET OFF USING THESE EXCUSES WHAT ARE THE PEOPLE IN MY SITUATION SUPPOSED TO DO????
