TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2010 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE HOT AIR FROM THE DEFROSTER WOULD NOT REACH THE WINDSHIELD IN ORDER TO DEFROST IT AFTER A SNOW STORM. THE CONTACT HAD NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS BECAUSE HE STATED THAT THE DEFROSTER WORKED BUT THE DESIGN WAS FLAWED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,700. UPDATED 2/23/11 *CN

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AFTER BUYING THE CAR AS JEEP LIBERTY RENEGADE 2003 USED AT ABOUT 40,000 MILES. THE SECOND TIME I DROVE THE CAR ON THE INTERSTATE THE CAR STARTED STALLING AND RUNNING VERY ROUGH. I LIMPED IN FOR ABOUT 15 MILES TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY CRANK SENSOR. THAT WAS REPLACED AND CAR RAN FINE FOR 4 YEARS. NOW WITH 66000 MILES THE CAR STALL WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED. RESTARTED AND TOOK CAR IN AND PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY CRANK SENSOR AGAIN, BUT PART HAD TO BE ORDERED AND CAR WAS RUNNING FINE. SO I DECIDED TO DRIVE CAR WHILE WAITING FOR THE PART AND NEXT DAY THE CAR WOULD NOT START. WHEN TOW TRUCK ARRIVED CAR STATED FINE BUT HAD CAR TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP. THE SENSOR WAS REPLACED BUT THE SHOP STILL WAS HAVING PERIODIC STALLING PROBLEM. IT WAS FINALLY DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY CAM SHAFT SENSOR WHICH WAS REPLACED AND NOW THE CAR IS RUNNING FINE. LOOKS LIKE JEEP HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE SENSORS IN THE JEEP RENEGADE MODEL. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, STRUCTURE
2008 JEEP LIBERTY. CONSUMER STATES SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED EACH TIME HE FILLED THE GAS TANK, GASOLINE SPILLED OUT OF THE FILL OPENING MOMENTS AFTER THE NOZZLE SHUT OFF WAS TRIGGERED. THE SPILL OCCURRED IN A BOILING TYPE MANNER AND THE VOLUME OF THE SPILL WAS SIGNIFICANT. THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED, THROUGHOUT THE THREE YEARS HE HAS OWNED THE VEHICLE, HE HAD A PROBLEM WITH RAIN GETTING INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE POINT OF ENTRY APPEARED TO BE AT THE TOP OF THE REAR LIFT GATE. THE WATER VOLUME WAS SIGNIFICANT AND NOT ONLY SOAKED THE REAR BED, BUT IT ALSO RAN TO THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND SOAKED THE FRONT PASSENGER CARPET. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED TWICE, WITH THE REPORT THAT SOME DRAINS PORTS WERE CLOGGED. THE LAST REPAIR INVOLVED SOME ADDITIONAL CAULKING. *JB

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
MY REAR TAIL LIGHTS AND STOP LIGHTS BULBS KEEP BURNIGING OUT. THE REAR PASSENGER HOUSING HAS BEEN REPLACED FREE BY THE DEALER. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE SAME HOUSING IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS. THE REAR TAIL LAMP AND BRAKE LAMP BULBS DO NOT BURN THE FILAMENT THE LIGHT BULBS ACTUALLY EXPLODE INSIDE THE HOUSING OR MELT THE HOUSING. THE PLUGS THAT HOLD THE BULBS ARE SCORCHED. I HAVE BOTH THE REAR LAMP AND PLUGS TO SHOW THE DEFECT. I AM NOT THE ISOLATED CASE: MOST LIBERTY OWNERS AND SOME GRAND CHEROKEE OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. MY SECOND COMPLAINT IS A FUEL LEAK AT THE CONNECTION OF THE FUEL HEATING ELEMENT. THE FILTER HEAD WHERE THE FUEL FILTER IS ATTACHED ALSO HAS A HEATING ELEMNT.. THE ELECTIC PLUG CONNECTION AT THE HEAD LEAKED FUEL ONTO THE CONNECTION. I OBSERVED WHEN THE IGNITION WAS TUNED ON, THE FUEL LEAKED AND VAPORIZE AS IT WAS BEING SHORTED AND HEATED. I DISCONNECTED THE ELECTRIC PLUG., FILLED THE FEMALE RECEPTACLE WITH FUEL TANK EPOXY AND RUBBER PLUG FOR GOOD MEASURE. WILL BE REPLACING SCORCHED CONNECTION AND FILTER HEAD AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I WILL KEEP ALL DEFECTIVE PARTS FOR YOUR INSPECTON UPON YOUR REQUEST THANK YOU.

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
I'VE REPLACED THREE FRONT DRIVE SHAFTS ON MY LIBERTY SPORT WITHIN A YEARS TIME. THIS JEEP ISN'T ABUSED AND IS DRIVEN IN THE CORRECT MODE FOR THE ROAD CONDITIONS. THE BELIEF IS THAT THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE WILL NOT DISENGAGE PROPERLY BUT NO ONE SEEMS ABLE TO FIND THE ROOT CAUSE OF THESE MALFUNCTIONS. I BASICALLY HAVE NO "SHIFT ON THE FLY", AND MUST BE STOPPED WITH THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL WHEN ENGAGING OR DISENGAGING ANY FOUR WHEEL DRIVE MODE. SOMETIMES IT REQUIRES MANY ATTEMPTS TO FULLY DISENGAGE! IF UNABLE TO DISENGAGE THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE, EVEN FULL TIME MODE, THE FRONT DRIVE SHAFT COMES "UNGLUED" WHERE IT CONNECTS TO THE TRANSFER CASE AND BASICALLY MAKES THE VEHICLE UNSAFE AND UNABLE TO DRIVE UNTIL THE FRONT DRIVE SHAFT IS REMOVED, WHICH IN TURN NULLIFIES THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE FEATURE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL OVERFLOWS OUT OF FILLER TUBE ON 2007 JEEP LIBERTY EACH TIME I FILL IT UP. PUMPING FUEL AT A LOW RATE DOESN'T SOLVE PROBLEM. THIS OCCURS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO FILL THE TANK NORMALLY (NOT ATTEMPTING TO TOP OF THE TANK AFTER GAS STATION PUMP SHUTS OFF) FUEL OVERFLOW OCCURS AT DIFFERENT PUMPS, SO IT IS NOT UNIQUE TO A PARTICULAR GAS STATION OR PUMP. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE ON JEEP LIBERTIES AND ALSO OTHER DODGE, CHRYSLER VEHICLES. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
BEGINNING IN NOVEMBER, 2010, EACH TIME I PUT GAS INTO MY 2005 JEEP LIBERTY, THE PUMP DID NOT STOP IN TIME AND GAS SPILLED OUT ALL OVER THE CAR, ON THE GROUND, AND ON ME. AS OF TODAY, DECEMBER 10, 2010, IS HAS NOW HAPPENED 6 TIMES AT 6 DIFFERENT PUMPS AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS INDICATING THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY HARMFUL TO THE ENVIRONMENT CREATING TOXIC RUNOFF AND IS HARMFUL TO ME AS I BREATHE IN THE FUMES. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHTS SPONTANEOUSLY SWITCH OFF THEN BACK ON, SOMETIMES SEVERAL TIMES IN SUCCESSION. THIS OCCURS NEARLY EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS OPERATED WITH LIGHTS ON. INDIVIDUAL EPISODES LAST ANYWHERE FROM 1-5 SEC, OCCUR MULTIPLE TIMES DURING ONE DRIVE INTERVAL. SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISK FOR "BLIND" DRIVING (NO HEADLIGHTS) AND INCORRECT INTERPRETATION OF SIGNALS TO OTHER DRIVERS.

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
WITHIN MONTHS I HAVE HAD ALL FOUR OF MY WINDOW REGULATORS BREAK IN MY VEHICLE AND ALL FOUR WINDOWS FELL COMPLETELY INTO DOOR. TWO OF THE TIMES I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN WINDOW FELL. VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR ALREADY REPAIRED ONE, NOW ALL FOUR BROKE. CANNOT GET WINDOW TO GO BACK UP. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH I PAID ALOT OF MONEY FOR DOES NOT COVER THESE EXPENSIVE PARTS. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DOES IT TAKE BEFORE MAKING THIS A RECALL. *TR

BOTH OF MY BACK WINDOWS FELL DOWN INTO THE DOOR. I AM MARRIED AND NO CHILDREN LIVING AT HOME SO THE BACK SEAT IS NEVER USED. WE HAVE RIGGED THE WINDOWS INTO THE DOOR SO THEY WILL STAY SHUT. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS AMERICAN MADE CAR. I WANTED TO SUPPORT THE U.S. ECONOMY BY BUYING A CHRYSLER PRODUCT AND I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED THAT CHRYSLER WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. MY JEEP LIBERTY IS A 2005 MODEL. *TR

JEEP LIBERTY 2005 WINDOWS. 2 OUT OF 4 WINDOWS HAVE FALLEN AND NO LONGER CAN BE CLOSED. THE WINDOWS FELL ON THEIR OWN WITHOUT HITTING AND BUMPS OR POT HOLES WHILE DRIVING. THE WINDOW MOTOR HUMS BUT THE WINDOWS WILL NOT MOVE UP OR DOWN. THIS IS A RECURRINGROBLEM FOR JEEP AND WE ASK THE COMPANY TO RECALL AND CORRECT THIS MATTER. IT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY THE COMPANY SO THEY DO NOT CONTINUE TO LOSE THE CONFIDENCE OF THEIR COSTUMERS. *TR

I HAVE OWNED MY 2007 JEEP LIBERTY SINCE JUNE 2007. TODAY MY RIGHT REAR PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED. THIS IS THE 6TH OCCURRENCE OF THIS HAPPENING SINCE I'VE OWNED MY VEHICLE. THE DRIVER'S SIDE HAS FAILED 3 TIMES. THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE HAS FAILED ONCE AND THE LEFT REAR HAS FAILED TWICE. NOW THIS IS ACTUALLY THE 7TH OCCURRENCE. WHY HASN'T JEEP DONE A RECALL ABOUT THIS? *TR
