VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
JEEP LIBERTY WINDOW REGULATOR BREAKS ALLOWING WINDOW TO FALL DOWN INTO DOOR AND REMAIN INOPERATIVE UNTIL FIXED. WE OWN A 2004 LIBERTY AND HAVE NOW HAD 12 REGULATORS REPAIRED/REPLACED OVER 6 YEARS BECAUSE OF SOME EXECUTIVE DECISION TO CUT COST WITH A PLASTIC PART VS STEEL. BEEN CAUGHT IN MONSOON WITH BROKEN WINDOW, 100+ DEGREE TEMPERATURES WITH BROKEN WINDOW. THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME/MILEAGE, MOVING OR STATIONARY, USING OR NOT USING WINDOWS. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 JEEP LIBERTY, AS I WAS CROSSING A RR TRACK THE BACK PASSENGER WINDOW WENT DOWN BY ITSELF. THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER SAYS IT IS GOING TO COST $400 TO $500 TO REPAIR, I COULD NOT AFFORD IT SO HAD TO PUT A PEG IN THE WINDOW TO HOLD IT UP, ABOUT 1 YEAR LATER MY SON ROLLED DOWN THE BACK DRIVER SIDE AND IT WOULD NOT ROLL UP, IT IS SAME THING HAPPENED ON THE OTHER WINDOW, AS I WAS LOOKING ONLINE THIS IS HAPPENING ALOT. I AM WONDERING ALONG WITH LOTS OF OTHER PEOPLE WHY THE IS NO RECALL BEEN PLACED ON CONSIDERING THERE ARE SO MANY CASES. JUST BECAUSE NO INJURIES HAVE OCCURRED DOES NOT MEAN THEY SHOULD GET AWAY WITH NOT FIXING THEIR BAD PARTS. IF IT WAS ONE OR TWO CASES I COULD SEE THEM NOT FIXING IT BUT ALL I HAVE READ ONLINE IT IS WAY MORE THAN THAT. WE THE CONSUMER SHOULD BE PROTECTED FROM THE BIG AUTOMAKERS. *TR

2006 JEEP LIBERTY. THE WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED AGAIN, THIS IS THE THIRD TIME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT. EVERY WINDOW HAS FAILED AT LEAST ONCE, SOME TWICE. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS ON THIS AND HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM YET NOTHING SEEMS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT. WHERE IS THE QUALITY AND CARE FOR THE CONSUMER? *TR

FOR THE FOURTH TIME THE POWER WINDOW REGULATORS ON MY 2007 JEEP LIBERTY HAVE BROKEN ONE BY ONE, THE VEHICLE'S WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND JEEP WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT. DURING WARRANTY PERIOD ALL REGULATORS WERE REPLACED ONE BY ONE AND NOW MY PASSENGER FRONT WINDOW IS BROKEN AGAIN AND I CAN HEAR THE OTHER WINDOWS THAT ARE ABOUT READY TO GIVE IN AGAIN. *TR

NO KNOWN CAUSE OF DEFECT EXCEPT CHEAP/FAULTY PARTS FROM MANUFACTURER. WINDOW REGULATOR FIXED NUMEROUS TIME, RESORTED TO DUCT TAPE THAT DOES NOT HOLD. WINDOWS WON'T STAY UP, DEFECTIVE WINDOW REGULATOR FOR 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. NUMEROUS CONSUMER COMPLAINTS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE OF US WHO WORK NIGHTS AND HAVE TO APPROACH THE VEHICLE WITH THE WINDOW NOT INTACT. THE VEHICLE IS NOT SECURE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY FATHER'S JEEP LIBERTY TURBO DIESEL AUTOMATICALLY & RANDOMLY ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN ABOUT 2-3 DAYS ON HIS WAY TO WORK (SIMILAR TO THE TOYOTA SITUATION). THE JEEP ON-BOARD COMPUTER THREW UP AN ENGINE FAULT CODE. WHEN HE TOOK THE CAR TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID HIS ACCELERATOR PEDAL MODULE WAS BAD AND MADE MY DAD PAY OVER $300 TO GET IT REPLACE. THE JEEP HAD UNDER 50K MILES ON IT AND IT SHOULD BE AGAINST THE LAW TO MAKE CUSTOMER PAY TO REPAIR A CAR THAT SPEEDS UP ON ITS OWN. ARE WE THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH A JEEP (CHRYSLER) PRODUCT? WE HAVE RECEIPTS FOR THE REPAIRS AND IT SHOULD HAVE DOCUMENTED THE ENGINE FAULT CODE THAT JEEP DISCOVERED. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 JEEP LIBERTY THAT I HAVE HAD FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS. WITHIN THE LAST YEAR I HAVE NOW HAD TWO OF THE WINDOWS SUDDENLY STOP WORKING WITH NO WARNING. THE FIRST ONE WAS THE DRIVER'S SIDE BACKSEAT WINDOW. LAST YEAR I WAS PUTTING IT DOWN DUE TO THE HEAT. WHEN I WENT TO PUT IT UP, I COULD HEAR THE MOTOR TRYING TO WORK BUT TO NO AVAIL. AFTER CHECKING IT OUT, I COULD ACTUALLY SEE A LONG, METAL CORD OR CABLE STICKING OUT OF THE SMALL HOLE IN THE DOOR. AT THE TIME I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WOULD BE ABOUT $500 TO FIX! UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS TOO MUCH FOR ME SO I HAVE BEEN USING DOORSTOPS TO KEEP THE WINDOW UP. TODAY, I HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW. THIS TIME THE WINDOW WOULD NOT GO BACK UP. I JUST SPENT THE LAST HOUR DISSECTING THE DOOR AND PRYING THE WINDOW BACK UP. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE, THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY BIG PROBLEM FOR THIS CAR. I DO FEEL SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE BY CHRYSLER. *TR

AFTER CHECKING ON LINE I DISCOVERED THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM THAT IS OCCURRING WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE AND THAT CHRYSLER JEEP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS. *TR

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
WE PURCHASED A USED JEEP LIBERTY 2006 SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. THIS SPRING WE ROLLED DOWN THE REAR WINDOWS AND COULDN'T ROLL THEM UP. IN FACT, THE REAR WINDOWS SEEM TO BE DISCONNECTED FROM THE WINDOW MECHANISM AND CAN FREELY DESCEND. I HAD TO WEDGE THEM IN PLACE TO KEEP THEM UP. IN ARRANGING TO HAVE THESE FIXED WE WERE TOLD BY SERVICE PERSONNEL AT CORWIN CHURCHILL MOTORS IN BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH JEEP LIBERTYS AND THAT NO SAFETY RECALLS FOR THESE DEFECTIVE WINDOWS HAVE BEEN ISSUED. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD FOR CHILDREN OR PETS. IF THE WINDOW WERE TO FREELY DESCEND A CHILD OR PET COULD POTENTIALLY BE INJURED FROM A FALL OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS ISSUE WITH THE INJURY PREVENTION DIRECTOR AT THE NORTH DAKOTA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH WHO SUGGESTED I SUBMIT THIS COMPLAINT TO YOUR OFFICE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, VISIBILITY, EQUIPMENT
BOTH REAR REGULATORS HAVE QUIT WORKING, LEAVING MY JEEP AND MYSELF VULNERABLE TO OTHERS BEING ABLE TO EASILY ENTER THE VEHICLE. WE HAVE REPLACED ONE AND WILL BE REPLACING THE OTHER NEXT WEEK DUE TO THE COST. AS IF THAT WASN'T ENOUGH, THE SUN ROOF JUST QUIT WORKING AND STUCK PARTIALLY OPEN. I HARDLY EVER USE IT, SO IT DID NOT BREAK DUE TO USE. WE TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT WILL COST $1300.00 DOLLARS TO REPAIR, WHICH WE CANNOT AFFORD. ALSO, FUEL QUITE OFTEN OVERFLOWS WHEN FUELING, SPILLING GASOLINE DOWN THE SIDE OF MY JEEP AS WELL AS SPRAYING OUT ONTO THE PERSON FUELING. IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW SLOWLY WE PUT THE GASOLINE IN, IT STILL OVERFLOWS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I HAVE HAD MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY AT THE DEALERSHIP 6 TIMES IN THE 3 YEARS I'VE OWNED IT. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE. FIRST THE CAR WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK, AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. AFTER MAY MONTHS OF THIS HAPPENING DAILY I HAD IT TOWED ON A FLAT BED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FINALLY REPLACED A CABLE THAT CONNECTED THE GEAR SHIFT TO BRAKE AFTER TELLING ME I COULD JUST SLAM REALLY HARD ON THE BRAKE AND IT WOULD JUST DISENGAGE, I SHOULD JUST HAVE DONE THAT INSTEAD OF HAVING IT TOWED. (STUPID ME I GUESS) THEN I HAD THE SAME ABS TRACTION CHECK ENGINE LIGHT PROBLEMS I'VE HEARD AND READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT, FIRST TIME TAKING IT IN, THE PROBLEMS STOPPED AND THEY SENT ME HOME. SECOND TIME, I DROVE IT STRAIGHT THERE AND MADE THEM LOOK AT IT AND DRIVE IT, THEY HAD MY CAR FOR FOUR DAYS AND CALL ME TO TELL ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE THE CODES WERE STORED AND NOT ACTIVE RESET THE COMPUTER AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. NOW YESTERDAY A YEAR LATER AND AT 48,000 MILES THE CAR STARTED AGAIN. I MADE THEM HOOK IT UP WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING AND THE LIGHTS STILL ON. WHAT THEY DON'T TELL YOU IS THAT SHUTTING YOUR CAR OFF "STORES" THE CODES. WITH THE CAR STILL ON, THE CODES WERE ACTIVE AND THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM. THE BODY CONTROL MODULE. HOWEVER NOW IT IS OUT OF FACTORY WARRANTY AND I HAD TO FIGHT WITH THE GM TO GET IT COVERED. THEY STILL WOULDN'T COVER IT UNDER FACTORY BUT DID COVER IT UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY AND WAIVED MY DEDUCTIBLE. HOWEVER I AM STILL VERY UPSET THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED, THIS SHOULD NOT BE AT MY EXPENSE AT ALL!!! I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER JEEP EVER! *TR
