FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EVERYTIME I GET MY GAS TANK FILLED ON MY JEEP LIBERTY IT SPILLS OVER ONTO THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND AND MAKES MY CAR SMELL OF GAS FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AFTER, THIS FIRST OCCURRED WHILE I WAS AT A FULL SERVICE GAS STATION I HEARD THE PUMP STOP FOLLOWED BY GAS POURING OUT AND THE SERVICE ATTENDANT YELLED, JEEP MUST BE FULL! NATURALLY I TOLD THE GAS ATTENDANT HE OVERFILLED MY TANK AND HIS RESPONSE WAS, NO ITS JUST A JEEP THING, AT FIRST I DIDN'T BELIEVE HIM BUT THEN THE NEXT TIME A FILLED IT AT ANOTHER GAS STATION THE SAME THING HAPPENED (FULL SERVICE AS WELL) I THEN FILLED THE TANK MYSELF THE FOLLOWING TIME AND IT HAPPENED TO ME AS WELL! NATURALLY I DON'T FILL MY TANK ANYMORE! I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN AND NOW I AM HEARING ABOUT ALL THESE RECALLS ON SUSPENSION AND GAS TANKS EXPLODING IT REAR ENDED! I THINK IT IS TIME FOR CHRYSLER TO STEP UP AND RECALL THESE DEATH TRAPS! I LIKE MY JEEP, THE WAY IT DRIVES AND THE 4X4 FEATURE BUT THIS IS JUST TO RISKY TO KEEP THESE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD, HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED TO GET HURT OR KILLED BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO DISH OUT THE MONEY FOR THE RECALL. THEY PROBABLY WOULDN'T WANT THEIR KIDS IN A VEHICLE LIKE THAT, SO WHY SHOULD OURS?!! *TR

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE STOPPED DEVELOPING POWER. WIDE OPEN THROTTLE WAS APPLIED, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO APPROXIMATELY 30MPH UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER. THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING EXTREMELY ROUGH AND WOULD NOT GENERATE POWER. I SHUT IT DOWN, WAITING A APPROXIMATELY 1 MINUTE AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE WHERE IT RAN NORMALLY. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 5 TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR. *TR

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
THIS IS THE SIXTH TIME ONE OF THE WINDOWS HAS GOTTEN STUCK ALL THE WAY DOWN. I HAVE A CHILD, AND CANNOT DRIVE WITH OPEN WINDOWS. NOT ONLY AM I WORRIED ABOUT THEFT, BUT I DON'T WANT ANYTHING FLYING INTO THE CAR WHILE DRIVING. IT IS SATURDAY, AND I WON'T BE ABLE TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THE DEALERSHIP UNTIL TUESDAY, DUE TO THE MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND. I WILL MORRE THAN LIKELY HAVE TO MISS WORK BECAUSE I CAN'T DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY WITH A WINDOW DOWN, AND I HAVE TO PARK IN AN AREA THAT IS NOT GOOD. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
I OWN A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. THE REAR LEFT WINDOW FELL. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL LETTER STATING THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE WINDOWS. APRIL 2013 I CAME OUT OF WORK TO FIND MY DIVER SIDE WINDOW DOWN. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS ONLY TWO MONTHS BEFORE THE RECALL WAS OVER. LAST YEAR I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. I WAS TOLD THAT IT COULD BE 1 OF 2 THINGS PLUGS OR O2 SENSORS. I HAD THE PLUGS AND THE UPPER AND LOWER BANK O2 SENSORS DONE 9 MONTHS AGO. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS GONE ON AND OFF OVER THE LAST 7 MONTHS. I CAN'T AFFORD TO DO THE SENSORS EVERY TIME THE LIGHT GOES ON. I HAVE HAD FUEL SPILL PROBLEMS THAT STARTED ABOUT A MONTH AGO. WHEN FILLING MY GAS TANK THE PUMP DOESN'T SHUT OFF FAST ENOUGH AND THERE IS AN OVERFLOW OF GASOLINE. NOT ONLY IS THIS A FIRE HAZARD BUT WITH THE PRICE OF GAS ITS A LOT MONEY WASTED. ALSO TWO WEEKS AGO MY JEEP HAS BEEN LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING. *TR

STEERING
KEY WOULD NOT RELEASE FROM IGNITION AFTER PARKING. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP. I ADVISED DEALERSHIP, POSSIBLE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY AND SHIFT INTERLOCK CABLE PROBLEM, PER OTHER COMMENTS? I JUST RECEIVED A CALL FROM THEM AND THEY ADVISED THERE WAS A PIECE BROKEN IN STEERING COLUMN AND THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE WHOLE STEERING COLUMN. PROBLEM 1 IS THERE IS A SUPPOSED NATIONAL BACK ORDER WITH AN UNDETERMINED DATE OF WHEN THEY WILL GET IT IN. 2ND ISSUE, IS THEY HAD NO SOLUTION ON HOW TO GET KEY OUT OF IGNITION SO I COULD PROPERLY SECURE MY JEEP FROM THEFT OR HELP WITH ANY SOLUTION TO THIS OTHER THAN....LOCK AND UNLOCK WITH SPARE KEY, SINCE IT IS KEY FOB THAT IS IN THE IGNITION. 3RD ISSUE............THE COST $1240.65 WITH PARTS AND LABOR..........I WILL BE CHECKING THIS OUT WITH OTHER SERVICE CENTERS AND REPAIR SHOPS TO MAKE SURE BEFORE I CONSENT TO ANY REPAIRS WITH ANYONE. *TR

SUSPENSION
THE BALL JOINTS ARE GOING BAD. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT MY VIN NUMBER ISN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. HOWEVER, IT'S THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM THAT IS COVERED BY THE RECALL. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. JEEP REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WHEN CONTACTED. HOW DID THEY GET AWAY WITH SUCH A NARROW RECALL? *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN FUELING THE JEEP, THE JEEP OVERFILLS EVERY TIME, EVERY PUMP. I CONTACTED JEEP BUT THEY REFUSE TO HELP FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD TO THE PERSON FUELING THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS SAID IT HAS TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. *TR

HAD LOWER BALL JOINTS REPLACED DUE TO RECALL NOTICE. THE UPPER BALL JOINTS ARE DETERIORATING JUST LIKE THE LOWER BALL JOINTS. THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM THAT THE LOWER BALL JOINTS WERE EXPERIENCING, THE UPPER BALL JOINTS ARE ALSO DOING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE JEEP LIBERTY HAS SERIOUS SUSPENSION PROBLEMS. WHEN I SPOKE TO THE JEEP/CHRYSLER COOPERATION, THEY WERE UNWILLING TO ASSIST IN FIXING THE PROBLEM. WHEN COMPLETING RESEARCH, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2006 JEEP LIBERTIES. JEEP FAILS TO RECOGNIZE THAT THE UPPER BALLS JOINTS ARE SUBJECT TO THE SAME CORROSION PROBLEMS AS THE LOWER BALL JOINTS. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE JEEP COMPANY FOR THE LACK OF ATTENTION AND ASSISTANCE FOR SUCH A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
MY REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW STOPPED WORKING AND WOULD SLIDE DOWN UNTIL IT SLID DOWN SO MUCH I HAD TO PULL IT UP JUST FOR IT TO FALL COMPLETELY INTO THE DOOR THE NEXT DAY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WONT FIX IT BECAUSE IT WAS MANUFACTURED BEFORE THE RECALL DATE. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND CANT DRIVE THEM ANYWHERE BECAUSE ITS TO COLD AND THE WIND IS TO MUCH. I CAN BARELY AFFORD FOOD MUCH LESS A $240 WINDOW REPAIR. *TR
