VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
THE REAR WINDOW REGULATORS IN THE 06 JEEP LIBERTY ARE FAILING AT AN ALARMING RATE. OURS HAS HAD BOTH BREAK ONCE AND THE DRIVES SIDE TWICE NOW. I HAVE CONTACTED JEEP WITH MY FRUSTRATIONS WITH ZERO HELP. THERE ARE COUNTLESS CLAIMS ONLINE, WITH FRIENDS, ACQUAINTANCES, AND EVEN MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER (EASTON, MD) THAT ALL SUPPORT THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE. I HAVE AGAIN BEEN TOLD THAT THERE WILL BE NO RECALL BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. I DISAGREE STRONGLY!! WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE WINDOW REGULATOR FAILS, THE WINDOW DROPS. WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE IS SOMETHING LEANING UP AGAINST THE WINDOW, A CHILD IN THAT SEAT, A PET? THE RISKS ARE HUGE TO THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD SHOULD SOMETHING FALL OUT. THE OTHER THING THAT IS VERY ALARMING IS THAT EVERYTHING IS BEGINNING TO PRESENT ITSELF AT A SIMILAR TIME FOR THE VEHICLES SHOWING SIGNS OF THE PROBLEM. JEEP CLAIMS IT IS DUE TO PLASTIC PARTS FAILING DUE TO NOT ENOUGH USE?? THIS MAKES NO SENSE. TO SUPPORT MY CLAIM THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE AFFECTING A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE AND CLEARLY NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE, PLEASE SEE THE WEB SITES LISTED BELOW.

I CAN ONLY PUMP 50 CENTS WORTH OF GAS AT A TIME INTO MY 2005 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON WITH THE EVAP CODE. I TOOK MY JEEP TO MY MECHANIC AND HE CANNOT FIND ANY BLOCKAGES OR ANYTHING BENT. HE CALLED TWO DIFFERENT LOCAL JEEP DEALERS AND THEY CLAIM THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS WHEN THERE ARE MULTIPLE FORUMS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. MY MECHANIC IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO RESEARCH FOR A SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
HI, I OWN A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY FOR MY WIFE, PURCHASED IT WITH 20K AND NOW WITH 98K WE HAVE A CONSISTENT PROBLEM WITH GAS PUMPS NOT SHUTTING OFF AT ANY OF THE STATIONS WHERE I HAVE PURCHASED GAS. AT FIRST I JUST ASSUMED IT WAS RELATED TO A PARTICULAR PUMP, BUT HAVE FOUND THAT IT OVERFLOWS NO MATTER WHERE I PURCHASE GAS. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON LIBERTY OWNERS FORUMS AND TALKED TO OTHERS WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. SOME HAVE HAD THEIR TANKS REPLACED, WHICH SEEMS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS DANGER, ESPECIALLY WITH 3 YOUNG KIDS OF AGES 7,5,2 AND IF GOD FORGIVE SOMETHING HORRIBLE WOULD HAPPEN AND CERTAINLY AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHEN SUCH EFFORTS ARE MADE TO EVEN CONTROL VAPOR EMISSIONS ON MODERN VEHICLES. THE FIRST TIME THE TANK OVERFLOWED MY WIFE RELATES IT TO ME AS BEING SCARED,SURPRISED AND SOAKED HER LEG AND SHOES. WHEN TRYING TO PUMP GAS IT JUST LITERATELY JUST NOT EASY IT TAKES ABOUT 10 MINUTES TO PUMP HALF A TANK MANUALLY. THE STOPPING THE PUMP TO AVOID SPILLING GAS IS NOT SUITABLE LONG TERM SOLUTION. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE, BUT AM MORE ANXIOUS ABOUT THE SAFETY ISSUE THIS CAUSES, ESPECIALLY FOR MY WIFE AND KIDS. IT'S BAD ENOUGH DRIVING AROUND WITH THE SMELL OF GAS AROUND THE JEEP, BUT I HATE TO THINK ABOUT OTHER WORSE SCENARIOS SUCH AS A FIRE OR HAVING GAS SPRAYED IN SOMEONES FACE. I HOPE THERE IS A FIX FOR THIS AND BELIEVE THAT IT SHOULD BE COVERED AS PART OF AN EMISSIONS AND CUSTOMER SAFETY RELATED SERVICE CAMPAIGN. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW TO GET THIS FIXED. THANKS, SIGNED *TR

THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED AGAIN. DRIVING AND THE BACK WINDOW DROPPED WITHOUT NOTICE. THIS IS A COSTLY REPAIR AND ITS AN ONGOING PROBLEM . YOU NEED TO MAKE THE MFG STEP UP AND MAKE A PERMANENT SOLUTION FOR A ONGOING PROBLEM. I SEE YOU HAVE HAD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL OVERFLOW ISSUE: WHILE REFUELING, TANK WILL CONSISTENTLY OVERFLOW LARGE AMOUNTS OF GASOLINE ONTO THE GROUND. PROBLEM OCCURS REGARDLESS OF GAS STATION USED. PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED CONSISTENTLY FOR SEVERAL YEARS. THIS PROBLEM IS A SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE AND SHOULD RESULT IN A RECALL BEFORE SOMEBODY IS INJURED OR THE ENVIRONMENT IS FURTHER SOILED. INTERNET RESEARCH INDICATES THAT NUMEROUS OTHER OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO CHRYSLER CORPORATION AND SOME MAY BE DENIED REPAIRS DUE TO EXPIRATION OF VEHICLE WARRANTY. FUEL/EMISSIONS/SAFETY ISSUES SUCH AS THIS SHOULD NOT BE RESTRICTED TO POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AND SHOULD BE WARRANTED FOR THE LIFE OF VEHICLE.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY HAS OVERFLOWED FUEL WHEN FILLING THE TANK 3 OUT OF THE 6 TIMES I HAVE FILLED IT SINCE PURCHASED ON 11/28. IT HAS HAPPENED AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. WHEN THE PUMP KICKS OFF THERE IS BETWEEN 2-8 OUNCES OF FUEL THAT SPITS BACK AROUND THE HANDLE WITH A FAIR AMOUNT OF PRESSURE. THE AREA UNDERNEATH THE FILLER CAP IS SOAKED AND A LARGE PUDDLE FORMS ON THE GROUND. I AM CONCERNED THAT AT SOME POINT A FIRE MAY RESULT. I ALSO FEEL I MUST WASH THE CAR AFTER EVERY INCIDENT BECAUSE I WORRY ABOUT THE GAS CAUSING A PAINT DEFECT. *KB
