FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION 2006 JEEP LIBERTY CRD. WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, ENGINE IDLING, FOOT ON THE BRAKE, MY ENGINE STARTED TO WILDLY ACCELERATE. I HELD THE BRAKE AS HARD AS I COULD AND THE REAR WHEELS STARTED SPINNING AND BURNING RUNNER AND THE ENTIRE CAR WAS 'JUMPING'. AFTER A FEW SECONDS OF THIS I PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. WHEN I RESTARTED IT MOMENTS LATER IT WAS FINE. I BROUGHT IT TO MY JEEP DEALER IN MT KISCO NY BUT THEY COULDN'T IND ANYTHING WRONG. IT HASN'T DONE IT AGAIN. THERE WAS NOTHING JAMMING THE GAS PEDAL. THE CAR WAS AT A STOP AND IDLING WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STARTED RACING ON IT'S OWN. *TR

THE WINDOW REGULATORS FAIL ON RECURRING BASIS. THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED TWICE AND THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED RECENTLY. TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS RECOGNIZED THIS AS A COMMON FAILURE ITEM BUT CHARGES APPROX $600 PER REPAIR BECAUSE MY JEEP IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE DEALERS STATED THE REGULATOR PIECE FAILING ON RECURRING BASIS IS MADE OF PLASTIC. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2005 JEEP LIBERTY. APPROX 62,000 MILES. GASOLINE WILL OVERFLOW FROM TANK WHEN FUELING BEFORE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF. THE GASOLINE WILL OVERFLOW AT EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED TO "FULL", REGARDLESS OF STATION LOCATION OR BRAND. MOST OF THE TIME THE AMOUNT OF OVERFLOW IS ESTIMATED AT LESS THAN A CUP, BUT HAS BEEN AS MUCH AS A PINT ON A FEW OCCASIONS. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN FOR THE FIRST 4 YEARS THE VEHICLE WAS OWNED, AND THEN WOULD ONLY HAPPEN OCCASIONALLY. THE TANK NOW OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME. SINCE THE ISSUE IS PRESENT REGARDLESS OF THE PUMP USED, THE VEHICLE ITSELF IS THE LIKELY DEFECTIVE COMPONENT. I HAVE READ MANY REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE ONLINE, BUT AS OF YET THIS ISSUE HAS NOT LED TO A RECALL. THIS IS A HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUE AS IT IS A FIRE HAZARD. IT IS ALSO A HAZARD FOR THE PERSON PUMPING THE GAS AS THE PERSON HAS THE GASOLINE SPILLED OR SPRAYED ON THEM. THE SPILLAGE WILL ALSO CAUSE THE CAR TO SMELL OF A GASOLINE ODOR AND FUMES ARE LIKELY PRESENT. I MUST NOW MAKE SURE MY 2 MONTH OLD IS NOT IN THE VEHICLE WHEN I REFUEL AS I AM WORRIED ABOUT HIM BEING EXPOSED TO THE FUMES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. THE LEFT REAR WINDOW MOTOR ASSEMBLY REGULATOR FAILED AND WAS REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES BY THE OWNER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS VERIFIED THAT THE REGULATOR MOTOR DRIVE ASSEMBLY WAS DEFECTIVE AND REPAIRS WOULD BE MADE AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT WOULD NOT ASSUME LIABILITY FOR THE REPAIRS DUE TO THE VEHICLE BEING OUTSIDE OF THE FACTORY WARRANTY. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
MY POWER WINDOW REGULATOR FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW WENT OUT ON ME THIS MORNING. THE WINDOW MOTOR IS FINE, BUT THE LINKAGE THAT CONNECTS TO THE WINDOW IS BROKEN. THIS CANNOT BE FIXED BY SIMPLE SMALL PART, THE MOPAR IS RIPPING OFF THE PUBLIC BY REQUIRING THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY. THE ENTIRE DESIGN NEEDS TO BE OVERHAULED, BECAUSE IT IS A SIMPLE FIX THAT SHOULD NOT REQUIRE THE ENTIRE REPLACEMENT OF THE SYSTEM. *TR

JEEP LIBERTY, REAR WINDOW MOUNTING TAG CAUSED REGULATOR TO FAIL. WINDOW DROPPED AND WOULD NO LONGER WORK, LEAVING CHILD SAFETY WINDOW LOCK INOPERABLE. JEEP HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS HOWEVER HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL, CAN COST UP TO 500.00 TO FIX. COULD HAVE CAUSED A ACCIDENT IF DROPPED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND BECAME DISTRACTED. *TR

VEHICLE: 2006 JEEP LIBERTY RENEGADE ISSUE: ALL 4 DOORS HAVE NEEDED THE WINDOW REGULATORS REPLACED, ONE THEM HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE. ANOTHER ONE BROKE TOWARDS THE END OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD BUT THE DEALER WOULD NOT REPLACE IT UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN DECEMBER OF 2006, SO IT HAS BEEN THROUGH 3 YEARS OF CONTINUOUS USE AND HAS RECEIVED 5 NEW WINDOW REGULATORS. IT NEEDS A 6TH NEW REGULATOR BUT THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO REPLACE THE WINDOW AND THE REGULATOR, WITHOUT ANY BACK-UP DATA THAT SUGGESTS THIS WILL END THE PROBLEM. DURING THE LAST INCIDENT, I HEARD A LOUD POPPING SOUND COMING FROM THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE, WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 40 MPH, BUT DID NOT NOTICE ANY IMMEDIATE ISSUES. THE DOORS WERE BRIEFLY INSPECTED FOR ANY DAMAGE AND LOOKED FINE. AFTER COMING OUT OF THE MOVIE THEATRE, ABOUT 2 HOURS LATER, THE WINDOW HAD FALLEN COMPLETELY INTO THE DOOR. TO DATE THE PART HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED DUE TO A LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN THE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE RESOLUTION AND DUE TO THE EXORBITANT COST. AFTER INSPECTING THE ASSEMBLY, IT APPEARS THAT THE PLASTIC COMPONENT, WHICH MOVES ALONG THE RAILING, IS NOT ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY CAPTURE AND MAINTAIN A CONNECTION WITH THE CABLE THAT ENABLES THE WINDOW THE GO UP AND DOWN. ONCE THE TWO PIECES SEPARATE THERE IS NO WAY TO RECONNECT THEM. *TR

I OWN A JEEP LIBERTY 2006 AND HAVE CONTINUING ISSUES WITH WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURES CAUSING THE WINDOWS TO DROP INTO THE DOOR WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS. SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE ALL 4 HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND I AM NOW STARTING MY SECOND ROUND OF REPLACEMENTS. APPARENTLY, CHRYSLER IS REPLACING DEFECTIVE PARTS WITH ANOTHER DEFECTIVE PART. CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED AN INTERNAL BULLETIN BUT HAS NOT BEEN COOPERATIVE OR CONSISTENT WITH RESOLVING CUSTOMERS CONTINUED COMPLAINTS. SO FAR I AM DEALING WITH WINDOW REGULATOR REPAIRS AT LEAST 2 TO 3 TIMES PER YEAR. *TR

I BOUGHT MY LIBERTY BRAND NEW. SINCE I HAVE HAD IT I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE REGULATOR IN ALL OF MY WINDOWS. THE BACK WINDOWS ARE THE WORST. THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW HAS BEEN REPLACED 5-7 TIMES AND THE PASSENGER'S SIDE HAS BEEN REPLACED 4-6 TIMES. THERE IS NO WARNING. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE WINDOW STARTS TO FALL DOWN INTO THE DOOR. THE DEALER CHARGES TO FIX IT AND REPLACES IT WITH THE SAME FAULTY PART. I HAVE PAID OVER $1500 FOR A PROBLEM THAT KEEPS OCCURRING. I LIVE IN ARIZONA AND THOUGHT THAT IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE HEAT BUT THEN ONE OF THE SERVICE ADVISORS TOLD ME THAT IT'S THE PART THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEMS. JEEP SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS PART. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE CHILDREN IN MY BACK SEAT ON A REGULAR BASIS. DEBRIS FROM THE ROAD COULD FLY THROUGH THE WINDOW AND HIT THEM. IF SOMEONE LEANS ON THE WINDOW WHEN IT'S TAPED UP IT COULD EASILY FALL DOWN INTO THE DOOR RESULTING IN AN INJURY. THANKFULLY, I HAVE NEVER HAD ANYONE INJURED TO DATE, HOWEVER, IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
2004 JEEP LIBERTY PARKED IN PARKING GARAGE. PUT KEY IN IGNITION AND HAD FOOT ON BRAKE. TURNED KEY ON, PUT IT IN REVERSE AND CAR ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL. PUT SECOND FOOT ON BRAKE AND TRIED TO STOP CAR. CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE CAUGHT A PILLAR AND BETWEEN THAT AND PRACTICALLY STANDING ON BRAKE FINALLY STOPPED CAR. TOOK CAR TO DEALER IN WEST VALLEY UT. THEY COULD NOT REPEAT A DIAGNOSTIC PROBLEM BUT DID STATE THE THROTTLE BODY WAS DIRTY AND CLEANED IT, ALONG WITH $1575.95 WORTH OF PARTS AND LABOR. THEY REPLACED A BENT STEERING GEAR. I HAD THE CAR FOR 5 YEARS AND IT NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. I WROTE TO CHRYSLER AND THEY SENT ME A CHECK FOR HALF OF THE $1575.95 DAMAGE. THEY DID NOT INCLUDE ANY OTHER PAPERWORK. I CALLED THEM AND THEY AGAIN WOULD NOT PUT ANYTHING IN WRITING AS TO WHY THEY DID NOT PAY THE ENTIRE AMOUNT. I STRONGLY FEEL THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ACCELERATION SYSTEM AND I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REST OF THE MONEY. *TR
