AIR BAGS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ESP/BAS, ABS AND SKIDDING VEHICLE ICON LIGHTS CAME ON IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER! THE CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE WE HAD ON OUR 2007 JEEP WRANGLER, WHICH I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE NHTSA, WHICH ISSUED A RECALL ON OUR JEEP. THE CLOCK SPRING MODULE, LOCATED UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL, CONTROLS, THE ABS, ESP/BAS, CRUISE CONTROL, HORN, AND AIR BAG! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED, LIKE MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER WAS!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE JEEP WAS BRAND NEW. THERE IS NO AUTO-STOP WHEN FILLING THE JEEP. UP TO A GALLON, OR MORE, WILL SPILL OUT IF YOU CANNOT STOP IT IN TIME. THIS CAUSES FUEL TO GET ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND THE PERSON PUMPING THE FUEL. WE HAVE TALKED WITH THE DEALER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM REPEATEDLY (IN TWO STATES - NEW JERSEY AND MAINE) AND IT SEEMS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN (OR WILL) DO. WE CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I BOUGHT THIS USED VEHICLE 2 YEARS AGO. IT CURRENTLY HAS A RECALL ON THE GAS TANK. THE WAY THE DEALERSHIP "FIXES" THIS RECALL IS TO INSTALL A TRAILER HITCH, WHICH IS LAUGHABLE, AT BEST. THE TESTING AGENCIES HAVE PROVEN THAT A TRAILER HITCH IS ONLY MINIMALLY EFFECT UP TO 25 MPH AND NOT EFFECTIVE AT GREATER SPEEDS. I REQUESTED THE DEALERSHIP "WORK WITH ME" SO THAT I COULD BUY A SAFER VEHICLE FROM THEM. THEY ARE ONLY WILLING TO OFFER ME THE SAME TRADE-IN AMOUNT AS IF I WERE TRADING VEHICLE SOLELY BECAUSE I WANT A NEW VEHICLE. I WOULD KEEP THIS VEHICLE, IF IT WERE SAFE. I'VE CONTACTED METAL MANUFACTURING BUSINESSES AND REQUESTED THAT THEY BUILD ME A SAFE, STRONG GAS TANK AND BUMPER TO REPLACE THAT WHICH IS CURRENTLY IN THE VEHICLE. I AM WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE TO MAKE THIS VEHICLE SAFE. THE MANUFACTURING FACILITIES HAVE REFUSED TO BUILD ANY PARTS FOR ME BECAUSE THE LIABILITY, AFTER AN ACCIDENT, WOULD REVERT TO THEM RATHER THAN THE BURDEN BEING ON JEEP. I HAVE TOLD THE DEALERSHIP THAT I HAVE A SAFETY PROBLEM BUT THEY DON'T SEEM TO THINK I SHOULD GET ANY FINANCIAL CONSIDERATION WHEN TRADING IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT CAN NOT BE MADE SAFE EITHER BY ME OR BY JEEP. THEY WILL ONLY OFFER ME LESS THAN KELLY BLUE BOOK FOR TRADE IN AND HAVE TAKEN $1,000.00 OF THE RETAIL PRICE OF THE NEW VEHICLE. THIS IS INADEQUATE CONSIDERING THEY SOLD ME AN UNSAFE VEHICLE WHICH CAN NOT BE FIXED. THE DEALERSHIP IS DARLINGS; PO BOX 277; BREWER, MAINE 04412-0277. PHONE: 207-669-6570.

UNABLE TO CLOSE REAR LIFT GATE. VEHICLE WAS NOT USING ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. VEHICLE WAS NOT USING CRUISE CONTROL. WAS ABLE TO HAVE A 'WORK AROUND' BY USING THE KEY FOB TO RELEASE THE GATE LATCH IN ORDER TO CLOSE THE WINDOW. AS OF SATURDAY MAY 9,2015, THAT WORK AROUND HAS FAILED. KEY FOB IS STILL ABLE TO LOCK/UNLOCK DOORS AND SET ALARM. NOTICED NO SUPERFICIAL WATER DAMAGE /LEAKS AROUND WEATHER STRIP. READ AND NOTICED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE REAR WINDOW LATCH NOT CLOSING PROPERLY IF AT ALL. THIS IS A DRIVING HAZARD THAT WILL SURELY CAUSE DRIVERS TO HAVE INFRACTIONS AND/OR ACCIDENTS. PLEASE ADVISE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
IN NOV 2014 AS I WAS DELIVERING MAIL IN MY RHD JEEP LIBERTY 06, MY HEAT WAS ON AND MY BLOWER FAN "BLEW UP", BLOWING BLACK SMOKE INTO THE JEEP FROM THE VENTS AND A BURNING SMELL CAME FROM THE DASH BOARD. I TOOK THE JEEP TO MY LOCAL GARAGE IN WHICH TIME THEY TORE THE DASH APART AND FOUND IT HAD IN FACT "BLEW UP". IT NOW ONLY RUNS ON ONE SPEED (HIGH). DURING THE NEXT FEW MONTHS (WINTER) EVERY TIME I RUN MY HEATER WITH THE FAN OR THE DEFROST MY DASH BOARD GOES HAYWIRE. MEANING GAUGES SHUT DOWN, ALL ALERT LIGHTS GO ON AND/OR FLASH AND ALL BEEPS, BUZZERS AND NOISES SOUND. IT CONTINUES UNTIL I TURN THE HEAT/DEFROST OFF. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE GARAGE ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS IN WHICH THEY RAN THE SCANNER WITH 7 CODES COMING UP. AFTER A FEW HOURS OF SITTING IT WOULD JUST RESET ITSELF AND CODES WOULD DISAPPEAR. EVERYTIME IT RAINS NOW THE DASH BOARD DOES THE SAME THING. I HAVE HAD 2 GARAGES AND SEVERAL DIFFERENT MECHANICS LOOK AT IT AND CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. ON APRIL 25 I CALLED CHRYSLER TO GET MY JEEP IN FOR THE N46 RECALL AND ASKED ABOUT THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION. I TOLD HER IT WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN THE JEEP LIBERTYS. HER RESPONSE TO ME WAS "IN THE LAST 25 YRS I'VE WORKED HERE, I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM." SO I SAID I'D LIKE IT LOOKED AT WHILE ITS THERE FOR THE RECALL ISSUE. HER RESPONSE AGAIN WAS " YOU NEED TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE GARAGE THAT LOOKED AT IT THE FIRST TIME, AND YOU DO KNOW THAT WE AUTOMATICALLY CHARGE $98 AN HOUR FOR DIAGNOSTIC CHECKS." I WAS LOOKING OVER MY PAPER SENT IN THE MAIL TO ME ABOUT THE N46 RECALL TODAY AND FOUND AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAPER IT READS............"ASK YOUR DEALER ABOUT THE FOLLOWING NOTIFICATION. OUR RECORDS INDICATE THAT YOUR VEHICLE ALSO REQUIRES REPAIR FOR NOTIFICATION G03" I GOOGLE SEARCHED JEEP LIBERTY 06 RECALL G03 AND FOUND.........THIS IS A BLOWER FAN ISSUE. AND CHRYSLER WON'T EVEN LOOK AT IT. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY WINDOWS FALL DOWN DUE TO A FAULTY WINDOW REGULATOR. EACH WINDOW HAS FALLEN AT LEAST ONCE. MY BACK PASSENGER JEEP WINDOW HAS BEEN FIXED TWICE AND FELL AGAIN LAST YEAR. ORIGINALLY I WAS TOLD MY WINDOWS WERE FIXED VIA A RECALL, BUT WHEN I CALLED LAST YEAR AND AGAIN TODAY IN REFERENCE TO MY WINDOW FALLING FOR A THIRD TIME, I WAS TOLD THE ISSUE WAS FIXED VIA AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, WHICH HAS SINCE EXPIRED. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER/JEEP COMPLAINT LINE TODAY AND WAS TOLD THAT EVEN THOUGH THIS WILL BE THE SEVENTH TOTAL TIME A WINDOW ON MY CAR WILL HAVE TO BE FIXED DUE TO THE FAULTY WINDOW REGULATOR, I WILL HAVE TO PAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM OUT OF MY OWN POCKET. I UNDERSTAND HOW AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WORKS; HOWEVER, I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING SOMETHING THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN FIXED TWICE ON ONE WINDOW. NOT ONLY IS THIS A SAFETY HAZARD WHILE DRIVING. EVERY DAY I FEAR SOMEONE WILL GAIN ACCESS TO MY CAR AND EITHER STEAL IT, OR WAIT UNTIL I GET IN THE CAR AND KIDNAP ME OR WORSE. I LOVE MY JEEP; HOWEVER, I WILL NOT REMAIN A JEEP OWNER FOR MUCH LONGER. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE CONTINUOUSLY HAVE THIS ISSUE. JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE HASN'T DIED FROM IT YET DOESN'T MEAN A RECALL SHOULDN'T BE PLACED ON THE CAR. *TR
