SUSPENSION, STEERING, WHEELS
I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE 101 (A MAJOR L.A. FREEWAY) AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN FELT MY CAR COLLAPSE ONTO THE PASSENGER TIRE. I STRUGGLED TO REMAIN IN MY LINE, AND HAD TREMENDOUS DIFFICULTY STEERING AND WASN'T ABLE TO BRAKE AS EASILY. I FLEW ACROSS THREE LANES OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND ALMOST HIT A WALL. WHEN I EXITED MY VEHICLE I FOUND THAT MY LOWER BALL JOINT HAD BROKEN, CAUSING MY TIRE TO EXPLODE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN REFUELING OUR 2007 JEEP LIBERTY, FUEL OVERFLOWS AFTER FUEL PUMP AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF IS TRIGGERED. THIS OVERFLOW NOW OCCURS EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS REFUELED. NO ONE IS ATTEMPTING TO "TOP OFF" THE FUEL TANK. THE OVERFLOW CAUSES A QUANTITY OF FUEL, WHICH I ESTIMATE AT TWO TO FOUR CUPS, TO SPILL ON THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. THIS FUEL OVERFLOW FLAW CREATES AN EXTREME FIRE HAZARD AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION RISK. THIS FLAW OCCURS IN THE WRANGLER MODEL OF CHRYSLER JEEP PRODUCTS ALSO, WHERE A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. THE SAME FLAW IS OCCURRING IN MANY THOUSANDS OF JEEP LIBERTY'S AS IS EVIDENT BY THE HUGE VOLUME OF OWNER STATEMENTS POSTED ON MANY WEBSITES. THIS WAS AN OCCASIONAL PROBLEM THAT HAS NOW BECOME CONSISTENT. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PREDICT AND WITHOUT A RECALL NOTICE, CONSUMERS ARE UNAWARE OF THIS HAZARD. THIS FLAW CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE PERSON REFUELING THE VEHICLE AND ANYONE NEARBY (SPECIFICALLY MY CHILDREN WHO ARE OFTEN WITH ME WHEN FUELING OUR JEEP). THE FUEL SPILLED HAS CAUSED PROPERTY DAMAGE IN THE FORM OF RUINED CLOTHING AND SHOES, AND POSSIBLY DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AS FUEL RUNS DOWN THE SIDE INTO CREVICES AROUND THE REAR WHEEL AND AXLE. WHY WOULD THE MANUFACTURER COVER THIS FLAW UNDER WARRANTY FOR ONE MAKE AND MODEL, THE JEEP WRANGLER, AND NOT COVER THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM FOR ANOTHER MAKE AND MODEL, THE JEEP LIBERTY? IT'S THE SAME PROBLEM CREATED BY THE SAME MANUFACTURER. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
BEGINNING AT APPROXIMATELY 35,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, FUEL WOULD SPIT-BACK IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE FUEL NOZZLE SHUT OFF. THE AMOUNT OF FUEL SPIT BACK WAS SIGNIFICANT, DRENCHING THE LOWER HALF OF THE PERSON FUELING THE VEHICLE. AT FIRST, WE THOUGHT THIS MIGHT BE AN ISSUE WITH THE FUELING PUMP, BUT FOUND IT REPEATED ITSELF AT EVERY PUMP AND AT EVERY STATION WE UTILIZED. IT DOES NOT SEEM TO DEPEND ON RATE OF FUELING, AS EVEN ATTEMPTING TO FUEL SLOWLY RESULTS IN A DANGEROUS SPIT BACK OF FUEL AND POTENTIAL DRENCHING OF THE INDIVIDUAL. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY THE DEALER AND A DEFECTIVE VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. INTERESTINGLY, AFTER REPORTING THE LABOR CHARGE OF $200 TO INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE, WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY HAVE SEEN A NUMBER OF JEEPS WITH THIS PROBLEM. ONE WOULD THINK COMMON PROBLEMS COULD BE FOUND WITHOUT THIS LEVEL OF LABOR. THE VALVE IN QUESTION CANNOT BE OBTAINED AS AN INDIVIDUAL UNIT AND THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK MUST BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF APPROXIMATELY $900. GIVEN THAT NUMEROUS OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES OF THIS YEAR, INCLUDING WRANGLER, DODGE DURANGO, LIBERTY, AND OTHER MODELS ACROSS THE CHRYSLER, DODGE, AND JEEP BRAND EXHIBIT THIS PROBLEM AND THAT LACKING SIGNIFICANT MOVING PARTS, ONE CANNOT JUSTIFY A FUEL TANK COMPONENT FAILURE AFTER 35,000 MILES, THIS ISSUE IS UNQUESTIONABLE A DESIGN FAILURE. GIVEN THE IMMEDIATE HAZARD OF FIRE, LONG TERM HEALTH RISKS, AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF REPEATED EVENTS OF FUEL SPIT BACK FROM THESE VEHICLES REQUIRES INTERVENTION. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ON DECEMBER 1 2011 AND ABOUT A MONTH OR A LITTLE MORE LATER (IN JANUARY) THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW STARTED MESSING UP (WHEN YOU ROLLED IT UP IT STARTED GOING UP CROOKED AND YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR HAND A STRAIGHTENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE ROLLING IT UP ALL THE WAY. ALSO, THE SWITCHES THAT ARE IN THE MIDDLE AREA BETWEEN THE SEATS, THE ONE FOR THE BACK DRIVER'S SIDE PASSENGER SIDE, QUIT WORKING ALL TOGETHER. TOWARD THE END OF FEBRUARY OR THE BEGINNING OF MARCH WE WERE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD ( GRANDSON WAS IN THE BACK LUCKILY ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE IN HIS CAR SEAT) AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE BACK PASSENGER WINDOW STARTED MALFUNCTIONING (WHEN YOU WENT TO ROLL IT UP THE MOTOR THAT ROLLS IT UP STARTED MAKING NOISE) AND THE WINDOW DROPPED AND SOMEHOW JAMMED THE DOOR COMPLETELY SHUT AND WE CANNOT OPEN IT. TODAY WHILE WE WERE OUT WE NOTICED THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW IS STARTING TO ACT UP. THAT'S THREE OUT OF 4 MESSING UP OR MESSED UP AND ONE HAS CAUSED US NOT TO BE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR AT ALL. WE CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE ALL THIS FIXED ON OUR OWN AND IT IS NOT THAT OLD OF A VEHICLE AND THE MILEAGE IS NOT REALLY THAT HIGH AND IT IS STILL IN GOOD SHAPE OTHERWISE AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ FROM SOME OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS FILED ON HERE FOR THE 2007 JEEP LIBERTY THIS SEEMS TO BE A REPEATING ISSUE.

2007 JEEP PATRIOT. CONSUMER STATES WATER POURED INTO VEHICLE OVER DASHBOARD DURING RAIN *TGW THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE RAIN CAME THROUGH THE LIGHT FIXTURE AND ALSO THE SMALL SEAMS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CEILING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A GLASS REPAIR SHOP, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANY LEAKS IN THE WINDSHIELD. THE CONSUMER STATED DURING ANOTHER RAINSTORM, WATER BEGAN COMING DOWN ON THE HER HEAD. A YEAR LATER, HOT WATER BEGAN POURING ONTO THE CONSUMER'S FEET WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER INFORMED HER, THE CHANNELS WERE CLOGGED. THERE WAS ALSO A PROBLEM WITH A LATCH HOLDING A SPEAKER IN THE HATCH. SOMEHOW, THE LATCH SNAPPED IN HALF AND EVERY TIME, THE CONSUMER OPENED THE HATCH, IT WOULD COME DOWN EXTREMELY FAST. THE LATCH WASN'T ACCESSIBLE UNLESS THE SPEAKER WAS DOWN. ON ONE OCCASION, HER SON WAS BEING HELD BY SOMEONE AND WHEN THE HATCH WAS LIFTED, THE SPEAKER CAME FLYING DOWN INTO THE CHILD'S FACE, WHICH RESULTED IN A BLEEDING GASH ON HIS FOREHEAD. *JB

THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED AND THE WINDOW DROPPED. IT IS CURRENTLY BEING HELD IN PLACE WITH ZIP TIES AS THE REPAIR WILL BE ABOUT $300. BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER FRONT WINDOWS ARE SLOW TO GO BACK UP AND COME OFF TRACK. YOU HAVE TO PULL THEM TOWARDS THE BACK OF THE CAR TO GET THEM BACK UP. I EXPECT BOTH TO FAIL SOON. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VERY ISSUE. *TR

THIS IS A FUEL OVERFLOW ISSUE. WHEN I AM FUELING THE JEEP AS THE TANK GETS FULL AND THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF, FUEL SPILLS OUT OF FILLER TUBE ONTO SIDE OF VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. THIS SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY PROBLEM WITH RAW GAS ALL OVER THE GROUND. WHEN THE JEEP WAS NEW THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN, NOW IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK UP. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW DROPPED INTO THE DOOR. REPAIRMAN STATES THAT THE REGULATOR ON THE WINDOW HAS WENT BAD. COST OVER $300.00 TO FIX. TWO MONTHS LATER, THE BACK DRIVER SIDE FELL INTO THE DOOR, AND AGAIN THE REPAIRMAN STATES THE SAME PROBLEM. NOW THE TOTAL COST TO HAVE BOTH FIX OVER $600. I HAD THE PASSENGER SIDE FIXED, AND HAD THE BACK DRIVER SIDE BLOCKED UP. DO YOU THINK THAT AFTER SOME MANY COMPLAINTS THAT THEY WOULD INVESTIGATE THESE REGULATORS AND MAYBE HAVE A RECALL ON THEM. IT'S NOW NOV. 2011, AND MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW IS ACTING THE SAME WAY...THINK IT MIGHT BE THE NEXT ONE. *TR
