FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING UP WITH GAS THE JEEP SPEWS GAS BACK OUT FORCEFULLY AND ABOUT 4 CUPS FLY OUT ALL OVER SOME TIMES THE NOZZLE CLICKS AND SOME TIMES IT DOES NOT. I HAVE HAD THIS JEEP FOR OVER ONE YEAR AND THIS STARTED HAPPENING FOR OVER A MONTH NOW. 2008 JEEP LIBERTY 4X4. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID NO RECALL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS THE GAS COMES OUT FAST AND SPRAYS. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS AS IT IS A HAZARD AND NOT A MAINTENANCE ISSUE. *TR

RANDOM EVENTS OF THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LAMP FLASHING AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LAMP ILLUMINATING. THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL TO A ROUGH IDLE OR LOSS OF POWER AND AN INABILITY TO ACCELERATE. ON OCCASION THE VEHICLE WOULD DIE AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THIS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 65 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON HOT SPRING DAYS. THE MANUFACTURE HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AFTER FIVE ATTEMPTS. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
2004 JEEP LIBERTY- THE HEADLIGHTS WILL TURN OFF AND THEN BACK ON WHILE DRIVING AND THERE IS AN AUDIBLE CLICKING SOUND WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT STARTED HAPPENING ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS ABOUT 60,000 MILES ON IT. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THEY BOTH SAY THEY CAN NOT DETERMINE INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS. I JUST GOOGLED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS AMAZING HOW MANY JEEP OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
VEHICLE STALLS WHEN DRIVING. 2003 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT/FREEDOM. WHEN DRIVING, CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS TIGHTENING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, RPM DIAL STARTED SPINNING LIKE CRAZY, AND THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. TOWED TO MECHANIC, TOLD CODE REGISTERED CAM SHAFT SENSOR. REPLACED! PICKED UP VEHICLE, DROVE 4 MILES, SHUT DOWN AGAIN. IF VEHICLE SITS AND COOLS OFF, IT WILL RESTART. DROVE BACK TO MECHANIC, HE REPLACED CAM SHAFT SENSOR - THINKING IT WAS DEFECTIVE. NEXT MORNING, ON WAY TO WORK, STALLED WHILE DRIVING AGAIN. SO, THREE DAYS IN A ROW, SAME PROBLEM. VERY DANGEROUS!!!!!!. THIS TIME CODE REGISTERED COMPUTER PROBLEMS, AND HE SUGGESTED I TAKE TO DEALER, AS CODE PART WAS COVERED UNDER FEDERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY. TOOK TO DEALER ON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22 - 8 DAYS NOW (ALSO NEED TO DO RECALL WORK, APPARENTLY THAT'S NOT HIGH ON A DEALER'S LIST) AND HE SAID HE CAN'T GET IT TO STALL, AND HIS CODE IS REGISTERING A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. I KNOW I'M A 'GIRL', BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE THAT THE CAR WOULD COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN IF THE TRANSMISSION HAD GEAR PROBLEMS. THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN! WONDERING WHY NO RECALL - SEEMS LIKE OTHER JEEP OWNERS HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS (READING THREADS ON INTERNET). I THINK DEALER MAY BE TRYING TO SAVE COSTS, BECAUSE I TOLD HIM I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN THE VEHICLE AND MAY TRADE OR SELL. HE SAID PART IS $875, BUT CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT IS PROBLEM, HE HAS TO CLEAR ALL THE CODES 1ST. HOW DOES HE KNOW THE COMPUTER ISN'T KICKING OUT FAULTY CODES AT THIS POINT? I SAY THIS BECAUSE WHEN WE REPLACED THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR, THE COMPUTER SAID IT WAS STILL BAD, ALTHOUGH IT WAS A BRAND NEW PART. AND, THE MECHANIC DID NOT GET THE CODE THE DEALER IS GETTING NOW. SEEMS LIKE JEEP HAS A PROBLEM, BUT NO SOLUTION. BTW, MY 7 YEAR/70,000 MILE WARRANTY APPARENTLY EXPIRED ON MAY 24, 2010. *TR

MY VEHICLE, A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY, HAS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH WINDOW REGULATORS FAILING. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE. THE WINDOWS FALL DOWN INTO THE DOORS CREATING A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. THE FALLING WINDOW STARTLED ME AND IT HAPPENED DURING A DOWNPOUR, CREATING A MAJOR DRIVING DISTRACTION. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET, BUT CHRYSLER HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. THEY SHOULD DO SO IMMEDIATELY. *TR

2004 JEEP LIBERTY, REAR DRIVER SIDE ELECTRIC WINDOW DROPS DOWN INTO DOOR, JAMS DOOR LOCK, RUNS DOWN BATTERY-ALL DUE TO A TINY PLASTIC PART BREAKING REPEATEDLY. I PAID TO HAVE THIS FIXED IN 10/15/08 ($205),READ ON INTERNET ALL JEEP OWNERS ALL MODELS WITH ELECTRIC WINDOWS HAVING SAME PROBLEM. SO, DID NOT USE WINDOW OR DOOR EVER SINCE. SAME CLIP BROKE AND WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY 9/18/09. STILL DON'T USE DOOR OR WINDOW. SAME CLIP BROKE AGAIN 10/25/10. NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY SO DEALER WON'T REPAIR. CALLED JEEP CORPORATE. THEY REFUSE TO EVEN CONSIDER WORKING WITH ME OR EXPLAINING WHAT THEY WILL DO UNTIL I GET "AN OFFICIAL DIAGNOSIS" FROM A JEEP DEALER WHICH WILL COST ME $94.50 TO GET. ONLY THEN WILL THEY EVEN TALK TO ME ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. EVERYONE IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM.A TINY PLASTIC CLIP INTO WHICH THE FUZZY CABLE CONNECTS GETS WORN OVER TIME AND BREAKS. NO ROCKET SCIENCE THERE, TAKE A THIN PIECE OF PLASTIC AND PUT METAL AGAINST IT AND EVEN IF NOT USED WILL VIBRATE IF YOU DRIVE THE CAR AND IT WILL BREAK. COSTING JEEP OWNERS BIG TIME.FIRST TIME IT STRANDED MY DAUGHTER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT,JAMMING THE DOOR AND RUNNING DOWN THE BATTERY AS ELECTRIC WINDOW KEPT TRYING TO ENGAGE. NOW IT IS SITTING IN MY YARD,CANNOT SECURE MY CAR AS WINDOWS IS DOWN INSIDE DOOR,AND HAVE PLASTIC OVER WINDOW TO KEEP OUT THE RAIN. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. CASE # NOW WITH JEEP IS [XXX],CASE MANAGER CASEY, 1-800-763-8422 BUT LIKE I SAID,UNTIL I'M WILLING TO PAY $94.50 FOR "OFFICIAL DIAGNOSIS" OF A BROKEN TEN CENT PART,THEY WON'T TELL ME IF THEY WILL WORK WITH ME AT ALL OR TO WHAT EXTENT. ONLY THAT WITHOUT THE DIAGNOSIS, NOTHING CAN BE DONE FURTHER. FIRST TIME IT BROKE, SITTING IN DRIVEWAY. SECOND TIME I PULLED UP IN PARKING LOT AND EXITED FRONT DOOR WHEN WINDOW IN REAR DOOR CRASHED DOWN INSIDE, I HADN'T EVEN TOUCHED THE DOOR. THIS TIME BROKE IN PARKING LOT, NO ONE IN CAR. WINDOW JUST FALLS DOWN INTO DOOR. COSTING JEEP OWNERS BIG TIME, YOU HAVE TO CHANGE ENTIRE WINDOW REGULATOR, JEEP WON'T SELL CLIP. *TR

MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY STARTED EXPERIENCING POWER WINDOW PROBLEMS AROUND NOV 06. ALL 4 POWER WINDOWS WOULD NOT ROLL DOWN OR THEY WOULD ROLL DOWN PART OF THE WAY THEN GET STUCK AND WOULDN'T ROLL BACK UP. IT WAS A SAFETY CONCERN WHEN THEY WERE STUCK OPEN. IT WAS ALSO AN ISSUE IN DRIVE-THROUGH SITUATIONS AND OTHER TYPICAL SCENARIOS WHERE YOU WOULD ROLL DOWN A WINDOW. A LOCAL CHRYSLER SERVICE DEPT REPAIRED IT REPEATEDLY FROM 2006 UNTIL THEY CLOSED IN EARLY 2009, THEN ANOTHER CHRYSLER SERVICE DEPARTMENT MADE THE LAST REPAIR IN JULY 2009. REPAIRS RANGED FROM RE-WIRING THE WINDOWS TO COMPLETELY REPLACING THE INTERNAL ELECTRONIC SYSTEM. *TR

WHILE DRIVING HEADLIGHTS TURN ON & OFF INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT ANY ACTION FROM THE DRIVER. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN IT HAPPENS, FREQUENCY VARIES FROM DAILY TO ONCE A WEEK. ANOTHER (RELATED?) ACTION STARTED HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME, ALSO INTERMITTENT ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. ENGINE WILL USUALLY RESTART BUT NOT IDLE WITHOUT HOLDING THE GAS PEDAL DOWN. AFTER TURNING OFF AND WAITING A SHORT TIME THE ENGINE WILL START AND IDLE FINE FOR A MATTER OF MINUTES OR DAYS. *TR

ON MY JEEP LIBERTY THE REAR WINDOW ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE WILL NOT ROLL UP. I DROVE TO FILL UP MY GAS TANK ON TUESDAY EVENING, AND WHEN I WAS REENTERING MY VEHICLE AFTER FILLING UP, I NOTICED THAT THIS WINDOW WAS DOWN. I AM NOT ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE, BUT I HIGHLY DOUBT I WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE TO THE GAS STATION WITHOUT NOTICING THE WIND NOISE WITH THAT WINDOW DOWN. ANYWAYS, I USED THE BUTTON TO TRY AND ROLL IT UP AND IT DIDN'T MOVE. AFTER A COUPLE OF TRIES WITH THE BUTTON, AN ODD GRINDING SOUND STARTED COMING FROM THE DOOR. I GOT OUT AND WENT AROUND TO SEE WHAT WAS HAPPENING. I OPENED THE DOOR AND USED THE REAR BUTTONS TO ROLL IT UP, AND THE NOISE CONTINUED AS WELL AS SOME KIND OF PIPE/WIRE CAME OUT OF THE DOOR. WHEN I TRIED TO GENTLY WIGGLE THE WINDOW TO SEE IF IT WAS BENT OR SOMETHING, THE PART THAT WAS STILL UP SLID INTO THE DOOR (SO THE WHOLE WINDOW IS DOWN NOW AND WON'T ROLL UP). I LIVE IN A DORM AT A HUGE SCHOOL, SO HAVING MY WHOLE CAR EXPOSED BY THIS OPEN WINDOW MAKES ME EXTREMELY NERVOUS. I HAVE TAPED A TRASH BAG OVER IT FOR NOW IN CASE IT RAINS, BUT IT'S AWFULLY LOUD WHEN I'M DRIVING, AND I DOUBT IT WILL LAST MUCH LONGER. I HAVEN'T TAKEN IT TO A DEALER YET BECAUSE I WANTED TO LOOK ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF THIS WAS HAPPENING TO ANYONE ELSE. I'VE SEEN SO MANY COMPLAINTS AND SIMILAR STORIES THAT I AM QUITE UPSET ABOUT THE CIRCUMSTANCES. *TR

I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATORS. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER JEEP HAS DONE NOTHING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. A RECALL FOR THE WINDOW REGULATORS NEEDS TO BE PUT INTO PLACE. WHY SHOULD THE CAR OWNERS KEEP PUTTING OUT MONEY TO FIX THE WINDOWS WHEN THE REPLACEMENT PART WILL ONLY BE ANOTHER PLASTIC PART THAT WILL BREAK AGAIN IN TIME! *TR

2007 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT. THROUGHOUT THE THREE YEARS I'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE I HAVE HAD REPEATED PROBLEMS WITH THE POWER WINDOWS, INCLUDING WINDOWS THAT STOP WORKING OR JUST FALL INTO THE DOOR WITHOUT EVEN USING THE POWER WINDOW SWITCH. I HAVE AN EXTENDED LIFETIME WARRANTY AND HAVE HAD TO PAY $100 DEDUCTIBLE EVERYTIME I'VE TAKEN IT IN FOR THESE REPAIRS. THE CLAIM TO HAVE REPLACED THE FRONT WINDOWS AS THEY NOW HAVE A DIFFERENT "CONNECTOR" FOR THE POWER WINDOW UNIT. THE DRIVERS WINDOW GOES DOWN NORMALLY, BUT IS VERY SLOW TO COME UP AND SOMETIMES STOPS. I HAVE TO MANUALLY 'HELP' IT UP. THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW HAS WORKED FINE SINCE THE SAME REPAIR. THE REAR WINDOWS HAVE BOTH BEEN REPAIRED HOWEVER THE DRIVERSIDE PASSENGER WINDOW HAS NOW STARTED TO FALL ON ITS OWN. IT HAS NOT BEEN USED SINCE IT WAS LAST REPAIRED EXCEPT THE DAY OF THE REPAIR WHEN I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS GOOD TO GO. I'VE LEARNED THAT THE PARTS THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED ARE PLASTIC AND BREAK DOWN REGULARLY AND NEED TO BE REPLACED WITH METAL ONES. THESE PLASTIC PARTS ARE EASILY BROKEN AND THUS MAKE IT EASY TO BREAK INTO THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE USE OF A STEEL HOOK AND PRESSURE. JEEP NEEDS TO SERIOUSLY ADDRESS THIS. OF ALL THE VEHICLES I HAVE OWNED THIS IS THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS HAD A WINDOW ISSUE AND IT KEEPS HAPPENING! THIS HAS COST ME HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS AND THERE IS NO RELIEF IN SIGHT. HELP!!! *TR
