STRUCTURE
I CALLED CHRYSLER (800-247-9753) AND SPOKE TO [XXX] ABOUT NHTSA REFERENCE #13V252000; GAS TANK ASSEMBLY RECALL AND WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE. SHE TOLD ME MY 2006 WAS NOT ON THEIR LIST FOR RECALL. I GAVE HER THE LAST 8 DIGITS OF MY VIN AND SHE SAID IT WAS NOT ON THE RECALL. I REFERENCED THE NHTSA NUMBER AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. I TOLD HER I AM THE ONLY OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND PURCHASED IT FROM BARNETT CHRYSLER/JEEP, WHITE BEAR LAKE, MN IN MAR 2007. AGAIN I WAS TOLD MY VIN IS NOT ON RECALL. I ASKED HOW THAT COULD BE; THE GAS TANKS WERE NOT PLACED IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS DEPENDING ON THE VEHICLE. THEY ARE PLACED IN THE SAME LOCATION ON THE VEHICLE. WHEN I ASKED WHY MY VEHICLE IS NOT ON THE LIST, ALL I WAS TOLD IS THE VIN ISN'T LISTED. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE CORRECTED WITH A TOW HITCH; WHICH I DO NOT CURRENTLY HAVE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHERE I CAN GO TO FILE A FURTHER COMPLAINT ABOUT HOW THIS IS BEING HANDLED AND WHY I CANNOT GET ANY DEFINITE ANSWERS TO MY QUESTIONS. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
2008 JEEP LIBERTY: I HAVE HAD THE WINDOW REGULATOR LIFT PLATES ON ALL WINDOWS FAIL.....AGAIN, ALL 4 WINDOWS HAVE FAILED A TOTAL OF 7 TIMES COMBINED SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2006. ONE WAS WITHIN WARRANTY PERIOD. THE 6 OTHER FAILURES HAVE OCCURRED WHILE OUT OF WARRANTY. OF THESE 6 OUT OF WARRANTY INSTANCES, JEEP HAS COVERED 4 OF THESE UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THEY ISSUED REGARDING THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY KNOW THE PLASTIC LIFT PLATE PART IS DEFECTIVE AND "NOT ADEQUATELY DESIGNED FOR THE WEIGHT OF THE GLASS AND POWER OF THE WINDOW MOTOR". THE SERVICE MANAGER AT MY DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THIS WORD FOR WORD! THIS WARRANTY HAS NOW EXPIRED AND THE REGULATORS/LIFT PLATES CONTINUE TO FAIL. 1ST ONE FAILED IN MAY OF 2008 REAR DRIVER, 2ND MARCH 2010 PASSENGER, 3RD AUGUST 2010 PASSENGER REAR, 4TH JANUARY 2012 PASSENGER REAR, 5TH SEPTEMBER 2012 DRIVER REAR, 6TH APRIL 2013 DRIVER REAR, AND NOW ANOTHER (7TH) JUST FAILED AUGUST 11TH 2013 DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT STARTLES DRIVERS WHEN A WINDOW SUDDENLY FALLS AND SLAMS INTO THE DOOR. I HAVE SWERVED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION, LUCKILY NOT HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS IS ALSO ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE AS THE VEHICLE CAN NOT BE PROPERLY SECURED/LOCKED. AN INTRUDER CAN EASILY GAIN ACCESS TO THE VEHICLE, HIDE IN THE BACK AND THEN ATTACK THE DRIVER OR OCCUPANTS. THEY CAN ALSO STEAL THE VEHICLE OR ITS COMPONENTS OR PERSONAL BELONGINGS. ON THE INTERNET THERE ARE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ACROSS VARIOUS MESSAGE BOARDS, AND CONSUMER COMPLAINT WEBSITES REGARDING THIS VERY ISSUE. JEEP HAS ADMITTED TO USING FAULTY/DEFECTIVE PARTS, BUT REFUSES TO REPLACE THEM AT WILL. THEY WILL ONLY REPLACE AND COVER THE COST OF THIS REPLACEMENT IF, AND ONLY IF, IT IS EITHER IN WARRANTY OR THE EXTENDED WINDOW WARRANTY WHICH IS 7 YEARS FROM VEHICLE IN SERVICE DATE. FOR THE 2006 JEEP LIBERTY, THIS WARRANTY IS EXPIRING EVERY DAY DURING 2013. *TR

JEEP LIBERTY 2006, MANUFACTURED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2005. REPEATED FAILURE OF PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE WINDOW REGULATORS. A KNOWN ISSUE AND A CAUSE FOR THE RECALL, BUT ONLY FOR CARS MADE AS OF FEBRUARY OF 2006. WINDOW REGULATORS ARE JUST AS FAULTY ON JEEP LIBERTY'S 2006 THAT WERE MADE IN PREVIOUS MONTHS. ENDLESS REPLACEMENTS AT $600 EACH TIME. THESE CARS NEED TO BE RECALLED AS SUDDEN WINDOW FAILURES MAY RESULT IN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS AND AS A RESULT, IN ACCIDENTS. *TR

CHECK VALVE IN FUEL TANK NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY. DURING FILL-UP, THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWS ONTO THE GROUND EVERY TIME. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS ISSUE IN ONLINE FORUMS. WITH GAS ALWAYS SPILLING OVER, I WOULD ASSUME THAT THIS IS A VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE HAD FILLED THE TANK UP ON OUR 2006 JEEP LIBERTY SINCE WE PURCHASED IT ON JUNE 7, 2013. WHILE STANDING AT THE PUMP WAITING FOR THE TANK TO FILL UP, THE TANK STARTED OVERFLOWING WITH GAS. I HAD GAS ALL OVER ME, THE CAR, AND THE GROUND. I WROTE IT OFF AS BEING A PROBLEM WITH THE PUMP. 1 WEEK LATER I GO TO A DIFFERENT PUMP TO FILL IT UP, AND IT HAPPENS AGAIN. SO I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THAT SERVICES MY VEHICLES AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM AND WE TOOK IT IN FOR THEM TO LOOK AT. THEY SAID THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM BUT JEEP WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE. I STARTED LOOKING ON JEEP FORUMS AND HAVE FOUND QUITE A FEW INSTANCES OF THIS SAME PROBLEM ON THE JEEP LIBERTY AND THESE PEOPLE HAVE ALSO FILED CLAIMS TO THE NHTSA. THE ONLY WAY FOR THE PROBLEM TO BE FIXED IS FOR THE TANK TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THERE IS A CHECK VALVE IN THE TANK THAT IS CAUSING THIS. THIS IS A VERY COSTLY REPAIR AS I HAVE CALLED A COUPLE OF DEALERSHIPS AROUND IN THE ARE WITH THE TANK ALONE COSTING OVER $1,400 DOLLARS. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT JEEP REFUSES TO FIX. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY AND MY FRONT DRIVER WINDOW FELL DOWN FIRST HAD TO REPLACE REGULATOR, THEN ONE MONTH LATER REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW DONE THE SAME THING. I DON'T FILL SAFE NOT KNOWING AT ANY TIME MY WINDOWS CAN FELL DOWN AND YOU ARE UNABLE TO PUT THEM UP WITH OUT TAKING OFF DOOR PANELS AND REPAIRING OR REPLACING THE REGULATOR WHICH COST UP TO $200.00 EACH. IS THERE ANY KIND OF RECALL ON THIS PART OR IS IT SOMETHING I JUST HAVE TO DEAL WITH, I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR YOUR SAFETY. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK IT OVERFLOWS BEFORE THE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED ROUTINELY AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS. I HAVE STOPPED TRYING TO COMPLETELY FILL UP MY TANK BUT IF SOMEONE ELSE FILLS MY TANK AND DOES THEIR MATH WRONG THE GAS STARTS SPILLING OUT ONTO THEM AND THE GROUND. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A LOCAL DEALER ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY WANTED TO REPLACE MY ENTIRE TANK AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OVER $1,000 FOR THEM TO DO SO, EVEN THOUGH ITS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN OTHER JEEP MODELS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND HAS THE POTENTIAL TO DO GREAT HARM TO SOMEONE. I HAVE NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS WHICH SHOWS THAT'S ITS A STRUCTURAL/COMPONENT ISSUE AND NOT THAT IT SOMEHOW GOT KNOCKED OUT OF WACK. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, GAS WILL SQUIRT OUT BEFORE THE NOZZLE CAN SHUT OFF. THERE APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT WITH THE GAS TANK THAT CAUSES AIR TO NOT VENT PROPERLY DURING THE FILLING PROCESS. THIS AIR BUILDS UP PRESSURE UNTIL IT PUSHES GAS BACK OUT THE FILLER TUBE POTENTIALLY ONTO THE PERSON FILLING THE TANK, DOWN THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. NOT ONLY A SAFETY ISSUE BUT AN ENVIRONMENTAL ONE THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE ALSO REPORTED. *TR
