VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
2002 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT, SPEED SENSOR FAILURE CAUSES SPEEDOMETER TO STOP WORKING OR FLUCTUATE TILL IT STOPS WORKING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, ENGINE WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING WITH A RESULT IN LOSS OF POWER STEERING, LOSS OF POWER BRAKES AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP. 3RD TIME I'VE DEALT WITH THIS ISSUE IN 5 YEARS. THE WIRING IN THE HARNESS CONSTANTLY RUBS AND EVENTUALLY BECOMES COMPROMISED TO THE ELEMENTS, THUS CAUSING A SHORT. I'VE MANAGED TO AVOID ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENT SINCE I EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE MORE THAN ONCE!! JEEP HAS NOT ACKNOWLEDGED THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND CONTINUALLY IGNORES THE POTENTIAL DANGER IN A FAULTY DESIGN. *TR

THE WINDOW REGULATORS ON THE JEEP LIBERTY KEEP GOING OUT. CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO HAVE THE WINDOW DOWN TILL FIXED MAKING IT EASY TO BE STOLEN, OR DAMAGED BY THE WEATHER. SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN 2006 THIS HAS OCCURRED 4 TIMES, I HAVE READ THAT IS COMMON WITH THE JEEP LIBERTY AND SOME PEOPLE HAVE REPLACED THEM 8 TIMES. MY HUSBAND HAS REPLACED THE PART PURCHASED FROM THE DEALER AT $75.00, BUT NOW HE WAS TOLD THAT NOT ONLY IS THE REGULATOR TO BE PURCHASED BUT A NEW WINDOW ALSO. *TR

REPLACED THE REAR POWER WINDOW REGULATOR AND GLASS FOR THE SECOND TIME THIS YEAR. THEY ASSURED ME IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN AFTER THE FIRST REPAIR SINCE THEY USED AM IMPROVED PART. DEALER STATES THIS TIME JEEP KNOWS OF THIS DEFECT BUT "CAN'T FIND A SUPPLIER WITH DECENT PARTS" SO PEOPLE ARE FORCED TO MAKE THE SAME REPAIR OVER AND OVER. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I AM UNABLE TO CLOSE THE WINDOW, CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN DRIVING AND PARKING THE VEHICLE IN LOTS. *TR

WINDOW REGULATOR,THE POWER WINDOW REGULATOR BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING,AND THE WINDOW ALMOST BROKE.NO ONE WAS TOUCHING THE WINDOW BUTTON. I BROUGHT MY JEEP LIBERTY TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED. THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY STILL BUT AS IT TURNS OUT THE ORIGINAL REGULATOR IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE AND THE NEW REGULATOR WONT FIT ON MY EXISTING WINDOW. SO THE DEALER SAID THE WARRANTY WOULD COVER THE COST OF THE REGULATOR BUT I HAD TO PAY FOR THE NEW WINDOW AND LABOR,WHICH COST ME ABOUT 200. DOLLARSTHE WHOLE BILL WAS AROUND 454 DOLLARS. I HAVE HEARD OF SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT OWN JEEP LIBERTY'S AND THEY HAVE ALSO HAD WINDOW REGULATOR PROBLEMS. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A DEALER RECALL ITEM CONSIDERING NOW YOU CANT EVEN GET THE ORIGINAL REGULATOR AND IN ORDER TO FIX IT YOU HAVE TO BUY A WINDOW. I FEEL LIKE I HAVE BEEN SCAMMED. *TR

MY 2007 LIBERTY HAS SLOW WINDOW REGULATORS. THEY GO UP AND DOWN SLOWLY WHEN IN USE. IT CAN TAKE 8-10 SECONDS FOR THEM TO OPEN OR CLOSE. I HAD THE PASSENGER SIDE REPLACED AT THE DEALER UNDER WARRANTY. THEY SAID IT IS TYPICAL FOR THEM TO SLOW DOWN AND EVEN BREAK COMPLETELY BUT, THEY ARE WAITING FOR A NEW DESIGN TO BE PRODUCED. BUT NOW, THE PASSENGER SIDE IS SLOW AGAIN AND THE DRIVERS SIDE HAS STARTED DOING IT TO. WHEN IT IS COLD OUTSIDE THEY BARELY MOVE AT ALL. NOW AFTER FURTHER READINGS, I GUESS THEY WILL JUST EVENTUALLY FALL INTO THE DOORS ALSO LIKE EVERYONE ELSE'S. COME ON CHRYSLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH YAH, MY CARPETS WORE OUT FAST TO. DEALER SAID IT IS WEAR AND TEAR. MY DODGE, CHEVY AND TOYOTA NEVER DID THAT. *TR

WINDOW REGULATOR IS FAULTY IN 2007 JEEP LIBERTY. ACCORDING TO THE JEEP DEALER, THE REGULATOR HAS BEEN REDESIGNED, BUT THE OWNER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL REPLACEMENT COSTS. THE WINDOW CAN BE SLID UP AND DOWN BY ANYONE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE INCLUDING CHILDREN (MY 3 YEAR-OLD DID IT FROM HER CAR SEAT). THERE IS A THEFT CONSEQUENCE AND ALSO A CONSEQUENCE WITH CHILDREN NEXT TO THESE WINDOWS THAT CAN AND HAVE FAILED. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY AND I HAVE 3 BROKEN WINDOW REGULATORS THAT HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO REPEATEDLY BREAK ON THE LIBERTY'S WITH NORMAL USE. JEEP DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THIS AS A DEFECT AND EXPECTS THEIR CUSTOMERS TO CONTINUALLY REPAIR THEM. ON TOP OF THIS, JEEP RECENTLY UPGRADED THE WINDOW REGULATORS, SO THAT WHEN YOU GO TO REPLACE THEM, THEY NO LONGER FIT THE EXISTING WINDOW AND YOU MUST REPLACE THE WINDOW AS WELL. THIS HAS CAUSE A GREAT AMOUNT OF ECONOMIC STRESS FOR MYSELF AND MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS WHO ARE FORCED TO KEEP HANDING OVER MONEY TO JEEP FOR A PART THAT THEY KNOW IS DEFECTIVE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY DOWN THE FREEWAY WITH WINDOWS UP AND DOORS LOCKED. I HEARD A LOUD "POP" FROM BEHIND. THEN, THE LEFT REAR PASSENGER WINDOW BEGAN TO SLIDE DOWN. THIS WAS A WINDY, RAINY DAY. THE DISTRACTIONS CREATED BY THE "POP", THE RAIN BLOWING IN THE OPEN WINDOW, AND THE POTENTIAL FOR ITEMS INSIDE THE VEHICLE TO BLOW OUT CREATED A SERIES OF SAFETY CONCERNS. I HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED THAT THE WINDOW REGULATOR PROBLEM IS RAMPANT WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL OF VEHICLE AND THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. *TR

POWER WINDOWS IN JEEP LIBERTY CONTINUE TO FALL DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASION WITH MY CAR. FIRST INCIDENT JEEP COVERED THE REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY. 2ND INCIDENT I WAS CHARGED A $25 DEDUCTIBLE; 3RD TIME A YEAR LATER THE DEDUCTIBLE INCREASED TO $100. WHY ISN'T THIS A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE? IN A PARKING LOT ANYONE COULD STEAL THE CAR HAVING EASY ACCESS WITH A WINDOW THAT DROPS DOWN INSIDE THE DOOR. NOT TO MENTION SITTING AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL, WHEN SOMEONE COULD EASILY UNLOCK THE DOOR AND JUMP INTO MY CAR. I HAVE A 2003 JEEP, BUT READING THROUGH WEBSITES THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUING PROBLEM EVERY YEAR SINCE AT LAST 2001. WHY HASN'T JEEP BEEN ABLE TO COME UP WITH A RELIABLE FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM? *TR

MY HUSBAND IS A MECHANIC. HE AND HIS EMPLOYER WERE TRYING TO MANEUVER A 2004 JEEP LIBERTY INTO THE WORK STALL FROM THE PARKING LOT. THE JEEP HAD A BROKEN BALL JOINT (A CONDITION THAT THEY LATER FOUND WAS UNDER RECALL NOTICE) AND WOULD NOT STEER, SO MY HUSBAND WAS GUIDING IT WITH A FLOOR JACK WHILE HIS BOSS WAS BEHIND THE WHEEL, BRAKING WHEN NECESSARY TO HELP CONTROL FORWARD MOMENTUM. THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING. THIS IS STANDARD PROCEDURE, ONE CARRIED OUT MANY TIMES BY BOTH MEN. BOTH MEN HAVE AT LEAST 25 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE EACH AS AUTO MECHANICS. THERE IS A LIP JUST AT THE DOOR OF THE SHOP TO PREVENT WATER FROM COMING IN, AND WHEN THE JEEP CAME TO THIS LIP, THE VEHICLE TIPPED SLIGHTLY, AND THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE TOUCHED THE GROUND. INSTANTLY, THE ENGINE REVVED AND THE VEHICLE JUMPED FORWARD AT FULL POWER. THE BOSS LITERALLY STOOD AS HARD AS HE COULD ON THE BRAKE BUT TO NO EFFECT. THE VEHICLE LEFT A LONG BLACK SKID LINE BEHIND IT WHERE THE BACK TIRES WERE TRYING TO BRAKE, BUT THE FRONT TIRES WERE CONTINUING TO ACCELERATE. MY HUSBAND WAS HIT AND DRAGGED FIFTEEN FEET THEN CRUSHED AGAINST AN UPRIGHT SUPPORT. ACCORDING TO BOTH MECHANICS, THE FRONT WHEELS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD POWER TO THEM, SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE AND CANNOT PUT ITSELF INTO FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE: A LEVER MUST BE RAISED MANUALLY. MY HUSBAND HAD TO BE LIFE FLIGHTED TO EMMANUEL HOSPITAL WHERE HE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A COLLAPSED LUNG, BROKEN NOSE, BROKEN COLLARBONE, NINE BROKEN RIBS, AND A BROKEN ANKLE. HE ALSO SUFFERED GENERAL CRUSHING OF MOST OF HIS BODY. A BROKEN LEFT RIB WAS DIAGNOSED TWO WEEKS LATER. THE JEEP WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR OF THE BROKEN BALL JOINT AND THE TRANSMISSION PAN, DAMAGED IN THE ACCIDENT. *TR

MY CAR WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT AND THE NEXT MORNING, MY DRIVER SIDE FRONT WINDOW WAS ALL THE WAY DOWN EVEN THOUGH I HAD LEFT IT UP. 2 DAYS LATER, AFTER I FINISHED WORK, I WENT TO MY CAR IN THE PARKING LOT AND MY REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WAS ALL THE WAY DOWN AND WOULDN'T ROLL BACK UP( AGAIN, I HAD LEFT IT IN THE UP POSITION) THESE ARE POWER WINDOWS. APPARENTLY THE WINDOW REGULATORS MALFUNCTIONED AND BROKE EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE UNDER NO STRESS.( I ALMOST NEVER USE MY REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW). AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, THIS PROBLEM IS APPARENTLY PREVALENT FOR 2007 JEEP LIBERTY'S. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS MALFUNCTION IS THAT IT LEFT THE VALUABLES IN MY CAR UNSECURED AND I WAS LUCKY THAT THEY WERE STILL THERE WHEN I GOT TO MY CAR. THE MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM IS THAT IF THE WINDOWS DROP WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, IT COULD STARTLE A DRIVER AND MAKE THEM THINK THEY WERE HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE OR OBJECT CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AS IT TRULY IS RAMPANT FOR MOST JEEP LIBERTY 2007 OWNERS. THANK YOU. *TR
