VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
THE WINDOWS IN THE JEEP FAIL ANYTIME AND GENERALLY STARTING UNDER 50,000 MILES. WHAT HAPPENS IS THE WINDOW WILL ROLL DOWN, BUT THEN YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET IT BACK UP AND IT STAYS DOWN, EVEN MANUALLY RAISING IT, IT WILL STILL FALL DOWN. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS MADE A REPAIR KIT FOR THE WINDOWS. THE PROBLEM IS TO HAVE SOMEONE REPAIR THE WINDOWS IT COSTS $300-$400 PER WINDOW. I HAVE HAD MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW FAIL, THE DRIVER SIDE BACK WINDOW FAIL AND THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WINDOW FAIL ALL WITHIN A 3 YEAR TIME FRAME. CHRYSLER RECALLED THIS PROBLEM ON THE 2007-2008 JEEP LIBERTY AND AFTER READING MULTIPLE MESSAGE BOARDS, THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE WITH THE 2004-2005 MODELS AS WELL. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE REPAIRS ON THE SAME WINDOW. 3 OUT OF 4 FAILED WINDOWS IS UNACCEPTABLE. *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

WHILE MERGING ONTO ROUTE 17 IN NJ ( A HIGHWAY) IN MY 2005 JEEP LIBERTY AND GOING APPROXIMATELY 45MPH THE UPPER BALL JOINT ON THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE BROKE CAUSING THAT DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL TO COME OFF AND BECOME WEDGED BETWEEN THE LOWER CONTROL ARM AND THE ROAD . LUCKILY I MANAGED TO GET THE JEEP TO SLIDE TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD WITHOUT COLLIDING WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLES. UNFORTUNATELY THIS SAME TYPE OF INCIDENT OCCURRED JUST 7 MONTHS EARLIER IN AUGUST OF 2011 WHILE I WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON THE TACONIC STATE PARKWAY AT 60MPH THE FRONT PASSENGER UPPER BALL JOINT BROKE APART CAUSING THAT WHEEL TO FALL OFF AND UNDER THE JEEP, ONCE AGAIN A MIRACLE THAT I MANAGED TO GET THE TRUCK TO SLIDE OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT INVOLVING ANY OTHER CARS ! *JS
