SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I PURCHASED MY JEEP 2 YEARS AGO. OVER THE LAST 6 MONTHS, I HAVE BEEN NOTICING I CAN HARDLY STOP WITH CAR. I BROUGHT MY JEEP TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. MY VEHICLE AT JUST UNDER 19,000 MILES ON IT HAD TO HAVE ALL COMPLETE BRAKES AND ROTORS REPLACED INCLUDING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE PADS ON IT AND NONE OF IT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. ROTORS ARE ONLY COVERED FOR ONE YEAR OR 12,000 MILES. SO THEY ARE THINKING THE BRAKES AND ROTORS ARE ONLY SAFE FOR ONE YEAR ON BRAND NEW VEHICLES. MY ROTORS AT 19,000 MILES WERE ALMOST FALLING OUT OF MY TWO YEAR OLD VEHICLE, THEY WERE COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A HUGE ACCIDENT. THIS JUST DOESN'T SOUND RIGHT AT ALL, HOWEVER CHRYSLER WOULD DO NOTHING ABOUT IT, SORRY ABOUT MY LUCK BASICALLY. IS THERE A BASIC WARRANTY THAT DEALER'S HAVE TO FOLLOW TO KEEP THE CONSUMER AND THOSE AROUND THE CONSUMER SAFE? OR IS IT THE NORM NOWADAYS TO NOT ONLY PAY FOR A BRAND NEW VEHICLE, BUT HAVE TO SPEND $1,200 A YEAR IN NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR? *TR

VISIBILITY
ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, IN 2 SEPARATE JEEP LIBERTY VEHICLES (MODEL YEARS 2006 & 2007), BOTH MY BOYFRIEND & I HAVE HAD WINDOWS FALL INTO THE DOORS. TWICE IT HAPPENED DURING THE NORMAL COURSE OF USING THE POWER WINDOW FEATURE TO LOWER THE WINDOW, BUT ONCE IT HAPPENED WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD. MECHANICS HAVE REPLACED THE REGULATOR ON ALL 3 OCCASIONS, STATING THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THEY'VE SEEN WITH THESE VEHICLES. MY CONCERN IS THAT WHEN TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD AND HAVING THE WINDOW SUDDENLY DROP, THERE'S THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DRIVER TO BE SURPRISED BY THE MOVEMENT, AS WELL AS ITEMS FLYING INTO OR OUT OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

VISIBILITY, EQUIPMENT
AFTER ONLY A FEW HUNDRED MILES ON MY NEW 2007 LIBERTY, THE PASSENGER FRONT WINDOW FAILED, DUE TO A FAULTY REGULATOR, IN NOVEMBER 2007. THE DEALER REPAIRED IT UNDER WARRANTY BUT SAID IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. AFTER MINIMAL USE, THE REAR DRIVER WINDOW FAILED FOR THE SAME REASON ABOUT 8 MONTHS LATER. I COULD MANUALLY PUSH IT UP BUT IT WOULD FALL AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING. THE WINDOW MAY HAVE BEEN UP AND DOWN A DOZEN TIMES IN TOTAL BEFORE FAILING. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY CONCERN, AND IT IS DISGUSTING THAT SUCH A BROADLY ACKNOWLEDGED DEFECT IS NOT BEING HANDLED RESPONSIBLY BY CHRYSLER. *TR

ALL THE WINDOWS IN MY 2007 JEEP LIBERTY HAVE FALLEN INSIDE THE DOORS. THE DEALERSHIP LOCALLY SAYS IT HAPPENS TO EVERYONE ON ALL WINDOWS BUT YET THEY CHARGE $300-$500 TO FIX THIS PER WINDOW. THIS IS NOW 1 WINDOW EVERY 2 MONTHS SINCE WE BOUGHT THIS. I HAVE THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE LEFT THAT THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED TO BUT IT IS SHOWING SYMPTOMS LIKE THE OTHER DID. *TR

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
MY WINDOW REGULATORS IN MY 07 JEEP LIBERTY HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED 2 TIMES IN A 3 MONTHS PERIOD AND MY JEEP IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. I WAS DRIVING IN TOWN AND IT WAS RAINING. I HAD JUST LEFT A DRIVETHRU WINDOW OF A FAST FOOD PLACE AND HAD 2 FRIENDS IN THE BACK SEAT. AFTER WE LEFT THE DRIVE THROUGH AND WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY REAR WINDOW JUST FELL AFTER IT WAS ROLLED AND MY FRIEND GOT HER FOOD, AND HE WINDOW WAS UNABLE TO BE ROLLED UP. MY FRIEND WAS GETTING WET AND I WAS SO DISTRACTED BY THE WHOLE THING I ALMOST WRECKED. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS. THE DEALER FIXES IT AND IT CONTINUES TO NEED YET ANOTHER REPAIR BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY FIX THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS IN THE DESIGN OF THE WINDOW REGULATOR AND IT WILL ONLY BE A TEMPORARY FIX AND WILL BREAK YET AGAIN AND NEED ANOTHER REPAIR UNTIL A NEW BETTER DESIGN IS PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND THE WINDOW REGULATORS NEED TO BE UPDATED WITH A BETTER DESIGN. A VEHICLE CAN GET STOLEN BECAUSE THE WINDOW IS MALFUCTIONING AND WON'T ROLL UP.ALL SORTS OF OTHER HORRIBLE THINGS CAN HAPPEN TOO. CHILDREN OR INFANTS CAN HAVE TOO MUCH BLOW AIR IN THEIR FACE AND SUFFOCATE BECAUSE THE WINDOW IS BROKEN. I DON'T FEEL CHRYSLER SHOULD WAIT AROUND FOR A TRAGEDY TO HAPPEN BEFORE THEY RECALL THE JEEP LIBERTY'S AND FIX THESE WINDOW PROBLEMS. *TR

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE A BAD MOUNTING PART MADE A PLASTIC THAT BREAKS. THIS CAUSES THE WINDOW GLASS TO DROP DOWN INTO THE DOOR UNEXPECTEDLY. SO FAR I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN ON ALL OF THE DOORS AND THE PART CHRYSLER WAS SENDING WAS ALSO DEFECTIVE. NOW THEY ARE PUSHING A PART THAT REQUIRES THE GLASS TO BE REPLACED ALSO. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE VEHICLE, WHEN GOING DOWN MY DRIVEWAY, STEEP GRAVEL, UNLOCKS THE TORQUE CONVERTER AT AROUND 1400-1500 RPM, ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO 'FREEWHEEL', SIMILAR TO MY OLD 1933 PLYMOUTH. DESPITE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, THE CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVES INSIST THAT THIS IS NORMAL. EVERY TRANSMISSION SHOP I HAVE CONSULTED, AND EVERYONE I KNOW, BELIEVES THIS IS NOT A NORMAL FUNCTION OF THE TRANSMISSION, AND IN MY ONE MILLION PLUS MILES OF DRIVING, I HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED IT ON ANY OTHER AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW FELL DOWN IN BETWEEN THE DOOR AND WILL NOT COME BACK UP. THIS PREVENTED THE DOOR FROM OPENING. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN BECAUSE THE GLASS WAS LODGED BETWEEN THE DOOR. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE DOOR, BUT NOT THE WINDOW. THREE WEEKS LATER, THE REMAINING THREE WINDOWS FAILED AS WELL AND PREVENTED THE DOORS FROM OPENING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE WARRANTY ON THE WINDOWS WERE 35,000 MILES AND THE VEHICLE HAS 35,400 MILES. THE DEALER REPAIRED ALL OF THE DOORS FOR FREE, BUT WOULD NOT REPAIR THE WINDOWS. CURRENTLY, ALL OF THE WINDOWS ARE DOWN AND WILL COST $580 TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,400.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, VISIBILITY
VEHICLE HAS 25000 MILES AND HAS HAD FOUR POWER WINDOW REGULATORS BREAK, TWO OF WHICH WERE THE SAME WINDOW. VEHICLE TRANSMISSION ALSO SHIFTS VERY HARD BETWEEN 1700 AND 2100 RPM. REGULATORS WERE REPLACED ON WARRANTY, BUT I FEAR AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRES THIS WILL BE VERY EXPENSIVE. HAVE HAD NO LUCK GETTING TRANSMISSION FIXED, EVERYTIME I TAKE IT IN FOR REPAIRS, I'M TOLD THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. *TR

REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW SUDDENLY DROPPED OFF THE TRACK WHILE DRIVING. AN INFANT WAS IN A CAR SEAT ON THAT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED DEBRIS TO ENTER VEHICLE. THIS IS THE FOURTH INCIDENT OF A POWER WINDOW SUDDENLY FALLING FOR THIS VEHICLE. DEALER STATES THAT WINDOW REGULATORS ARE POORLY DESIGNED. A REPLACEMENT DESIGN IS NOT AVAILABLE. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE ELECTRIC WINDOWS WOULD STALL AND DRAG WHILE BEING PUT UP. JEEP REPLACED PARTS AND FIXED THE ISSUE WITH NO CHARGE. MY JEEP IS NOT QUITE 2 YEARS OLD AND HAS 32,000 MILES. THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW HAS BEEN USED MORE (AS YOU CAN IMAGINE) AND IT HAS BEEN GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE FOR 6 MONTHS OR SO. I ALSO HAD TO HAVE A TRANSMISSION REGULATOR PUT IN WHEN THE CAR WAS NEW. IT WAS SHIFTING ROUGH.... *TR

ALL OF MY POWER WINDOWS HAVE FALLEN INTO THE DOOR AT ONE POINT OR ANOTHER OVER THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF. JEEP HAS FIXED THIS ISSUE EACH TIME, BUT THEY FIX THE ISSUE WITH THE SAME PARTS THAT ARE DEFECTIVE SO IT IS INEVITABLE THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS IS CLEARLY FAULTY CRAFTSMANSHIP AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

VISIBILITY, SEATS
I HAVE HAD MY WINDOWS FALL AND NOT GO BACK UP 5 DIFFERENT TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED MY 2007 JEEP LIBERTY,NOV 2007. EVERY TIME I TAKE IT IN AND GET IT FIXED THE DEALER SAYS THEY HOPE THIS TIME WILL BE THE LAST. ONE TIME WHEN THE LEFT REAR WINDOW FELL THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN BECAUSE OF THE PRESSURE FROM THE BROKEN WINDOW MOTOR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS SINCE THE WINDOW WILL NOT STAY UP. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I ALSO HAVE SEVERAL STAINS ON MY STAIN RESISTANT SEATS FROM WATER, RAIN AND BOTTLED WATER WHICH IS NOT DIRTY. *TR

THE FRONT DRIVER WINDOW GOES UP CROOKED AND HAS TO BE LET DOWN AND UP SEVERAL TIMES TO MAKE IT GO UP CORRECTLY. THE POWER WINDOWS ON MY JEEP LIBERTY MADE A POP WHEN GOING UP AND THE WINDOW FAILED TO SHUT (BACK PASSENGER); I HAD TO MANUALLY LODGE IT UP. A FEW HOURS LATER THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW DID THE SAME THING; HOWEVER, IT ALSO MADE THE DOOR UN-OPERABLE LOCKING MY CHILD IN WHICH REQUIRED HIM TO GO OUT THE OTHER DOOR. IF THERE HAD BEEN A WRECK MY CHILD COULD HAVE BEEN TRAPPED INSIDE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM STATING THE REGULATORS AND MOTORS NEEDED REPLACING. I ASKED THEM WHAT CAUSED THE DOOR TO LOCK AND THEY SAID THE CABLE PULLEY WHICH CONTROLS THE WINDOWS WRAPPED AROUND THE LOCKING MECHANISM AND FROZE THE DOOR. WELL A FEW MONTHS HAVE PASSED AND THE WINDOWS ARE ONCE AGAIN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS TO FIX THESE ITEMS THOUGH THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY WORKED ON THEM. I HAVE RELOCATED FROM GA TO VA AND WOULD NOT HAVE THE SAME DEALER. WHEN THESE WINDOWS FALL WHILE DRIVING IT STARTLES YOU TO THE POINT OF PANIC BECAUSE THE REAR WINDOWS MAKES A FUNNY SOUND WHEN DOWN (THE WAY THE AIR CURRENT HITS THE CAR); WHICH CAN BE QUITE DISTRACTING. I HOPE YOU WILL DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM SO IT DOESN'T CAUSE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THOSE NOT EXPECTING IT. ANOTHER PROBLEM WHEN DRIVING IF YOU HIT THE GAS IT SOUNDS LIKE THE BACK END SLIPS AND WILL NOT GO OR WILL JUST JERK AND SLIP ON THE ROADWAY. *TR
