FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL: PRE-HEATER
THE FUEL FILTER HEAD UNIT ON MY 2005 JEEP LIBERTY CRD DIESEL HAS A DEFECTIVE DESIGN. IT IS A WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE WITH OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES. THE FUEL HEATER IN THE FILTER HEAD APPEARS TO OVERHEAT AND CAUSE A FUEL LEAK. THIS CAUSES A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO OCCUR AS FUEL LEAKS ONTO WIRES WHICH ARE USED TO POWER THE FUEL HEATER. ONCE THIS LEAK BEGINS, IT INTRODUCES AIR INTO THE FUEL SYSTEM WHICH CAN DAMAGE THE INJECTOR PUMP OR CAUSE A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER WHICH MAY CAUSE A TRAFFIC HAZARD. I HAVE TAKEN PICTURES OF THE EFFECTED PARTS. THEY CAN BE VIEWED HERE: THIS IS THE BURNT CONNECTOR: HTTP://I57.PHOTOBUCKET.COM/ALBUMS/G222/CHADHARGIS/WEBPICS/P1010031.JPG THIS IS AFTER PRIMING THE FUEL HEAD, YOU CAN SEE THE FUEL BUBBLING OUT: HTTP://I57.PHOTOBUCKET.COM/ALBUMS/G222/CHADHARGIS/WEBPICS/P1010032.JPG THIS THE CONNECTOR ON THE FUEL HEAD.

VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR
IN JULY OF LAST YEAR (2006), I LEASED A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS LATER, ONE OF MY WINDOWS SLIPPED DOWN. I TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIRS. SINCE THEN (16 MONTHS LATER), I HAVE BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP FOR THIS EXACT REASON 5 MORE TIMES. MY PARENTS HAVE THE EXACT SAME VEHICLE, SAME YEAR, AND THEY ARE ON THEIR 6TH WINDOW AS WELL. AFTER TALKING TO THE REPAIR SHOPS WE BOTH GO TO, WE HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. JEEP HAS BEEN CONTACTED BY US AND BY OTHERS. THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ON SO MANY LEVELS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS VULNERABLE IF THE WINDOW IS NOT UP. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I BOUGHT A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY4X4 3RD DAY IT WAS TOWED BACK DUE TO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. NOW AT 30,000 MILES I'M HAVING THE SAME ISSUES PLUS THE GEAR KEEPS SKIPPING. I BROUGHT IT BACK 3 TIMES NOW AND BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MAKE THE CUNKING NOISE THE FEW MINUTES THEY HAVE IT THEY SAY THERE'S NOTHING WRONG AND THE GEARS ARE SUPPOSED TO SKIP. HMMM NEW ONE ON ME. THEY ALSO SAY THERE'S NO REPORTS ON THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS HMM PLENTY HERE OR AM I SEEING THINGS. IT PRINTED THEM ALL OUT SO I CAN GO BACK AND SHOW THEM THE COMPLAINTS. CAN'T DENY WHAT'S ON BLACK AND WHITE NOW CAN THEY? *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:UPPER BALL JOINT
I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR A SAFETY INSPECTION AND FOUND THAT THE RIGHT UPPER BALL JOINT WAS 'VERY LOOSE' AND THE LEFT UPPER BALL JOINT WAS 'LOOSE'. MY 2004 JEEP LIBERTY ONLY HAS 51,761 MILES AND THERE SHOULD NOT BE SUCH A SERIOUS PROBLEM SUCH AS THIS GIVEN THE AGE AND MILEAGE OF THIS VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE WAS ALREADY RECALLED IN THE SPRING OF 2007 FOR THE LOWER BALL JOINTS. CHRYSLER REFUSED TO PAY FOR MY UPPER BALL JOINT REPAIR. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL: PRE-HEATER
I HAVE A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY CRD. THE HEATING ELEMENT AND PLUG IN THE FUEL FILTER ASSEMBLY IN MY FUEL SYSTEM IS SCORCHED AND SHOWS SIGNS OF BURNING. THE FUEL PRE HEATER COMES IN CONTACT WITH AIR AND DIESEL FUEL, AND SCORCHING OR IGNITION COULD CAUSE A VEHICLE FIRE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE SIGNS OF SCORCHING ON MY HEATER ELEMENT PLUG SHOWS THAT DIESEL FUEL AND AIR ARE LEAKING ONTO A POTENTIAL FIRE CAUSING ELECTRICAL COMPONENT. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:UPPER BALL JOINT
I OWN A 2004 JEEP LIBERTY, 46,000 MILES. I PREEMPTED AN INCIDENT. BUT, I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR REALIGNMENT AND DISCOVERED THAT THE UPPER RIGHT BALL JOINT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE. RECEIVED TWO OPINIONS. BOTH DID NOT WANT TO GIVE THE CAR BACK TO ME AS I PRESENTED A SAFETY HAZARD ON THE ROAD. I JUST BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR THE RECALL AND HAD THE LOWER BALL JOINTS REPAIRED ABOUT 7 MONTHS AGO. RIGHT UPPER IS CURRENTLY BEING FIXED BY A JEEP DEALER. *TR
