VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
THIS IS THE 2ND TIME I HAVE ACCESSED YOUR WEBSITE WITH A COMPLAINT FOR THE SAME PROBLEM.. I REPORTED MY OTHER COMPLAINT ON 09/20/2010. MY REAR WINDOWS JUST FALL DOWN FOR NO REASON. ON 8/15/12 I WALKED OUT AND NOTICED MY REAR DRIVER SIDE CAR WINDOW WAS DOWN. WHEN I TRIED TO PUT IT UP, IT JUST MADE A GRINDING NOISE. IT JUST SLIPS DOWN INTO THE WINDOW SPACE LEAVING ME WITH AN OPEN WINDOW WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE IN THE RAIN. THE SAME THING HAPPENED TWO YEARS AGO TO BOTH REAR WINDOWS TO THE SAME VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THERE WAS A DEFECT IN THE 2006 JEEP LIBERTY'S WHERE THIS HAPPENS. IT APPEARS THE WINDOWS AND PART THAT RAISES AND LOWERS THE WINDOW IS ONE UNIT WHICH IS MADE OF PLASTIC. APPARENTLY IT IS VERY CHEAP AND FRAGILE AND BREAKS FOR NO REASON. YOU HAVE TO BUY THE WHOLE WINDOW/MECHANICAL ASSEMBLY AND IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE. PLEASE HELP ME GET MY WINDOW FIXED. *TR

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
THE WINDOW REGULATORS IN MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY HAVE BROKEN AND FALLEN DOWN 10 DIFFERENT TIMES IN THE PAST 4 YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST 9 TIMES WERE BOTHERSOME AND ABOUT 450.00 EACH TO GET FIXED BUT THIS LAST ONE IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE A 10 WEEK OLD BABY AND THE WINDOW DECIDED TO FALL DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF A STORM AND I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE INTERSTATE TO PULL THE WINDOW BACK UP TO STOP THE FLOOD OF RAIN THAT WAS FALLING ON MY (AT THE TIME) 8 WEEK OLD BABY. MY BABY WAS SCREAMING HIS HEAD OFF AS I AM SURE THAT MUCH RAIN COMING IN THE WIDE OPENED WINDOW AT 50-60 (WAS DRIVING SLOWER DUE TO LOW VISIBILITY IN STORM) MILES AN HOUR DID NOT FEEL GOOD. I HAD TO FIND THE RIGHT TIME TO PULL OFF THE ROAD THEN CLIMB IN BACK, UNDO CAR SEAT, SLIDE IT OVER AND DUCT TAPE THE WINDOW. I WAS ALONE AND THEN HAD TO REATTACH THE CAR SEAT TO THE BASE AND DRY OFF MY INFANT. I AM THANKFUL THAT NO ONE HIT US WHILE I WAS PARKED ON THE INTERSTATE IN A RAINSTORM WITH MY CHILD NOT BUCKLED IN TO THE CAR. I WAS IN A PANIC TRYING TO FIX THIS. NOW JEEP IS REFUSING TO FIX THIS FREE OF CHARGE DUE TO LACK OF RECALL. PLEASE MAKE THEM RECALL THIS DEFECTIVE PART SO THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. I LIVE IN MOBILE, AL AND IT IS SCORCHING HOT AND I CAN'T BE DRIVING HIM AROUND WITH THE WINDOW DOWN. ALSO, IT DOESN'T STAY UP FOR MORE THAN A DAY WITH THE DUCT TAPE BECAUSE OF THE HEAT MELTING THE GLUE ON THE TAPE. IT'S JUST DANGEROUS. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE GAS TANK SHOOTS A LARGE QUANTITY OF FUEL OUT EACH TIME WHEN REFUELING, WHICH COVERS THE REAR QUARTER PANEL OF THE VEHICLE IN GASOLINE AS WELL AS THE PERSON PUMPING. THIS OCCURS CONSISTENTLY, EACH TIME THE VEHICLE IS FILLED REGARDLESS OF FACTORS SUCH AS PUMP SPEED, TEMPERATURE, DEPTH OR POSITION OF THE NOZZLE. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO TIME FUELING SO THAT THE TANK IS NOT FULL SO THIS DOES NOT OCCUR. THIS IS A SAFETY HARD DUE TO THE INABILITY OF THE GAS TANK TO HOLD THE GASOLINE, WHICH WOULD BE DANGEROUS IN THE EVENT OF EVEN A MINOR ACCIDENT. IT IS ALSO HAZARDOUS FOR THE VEHICLE AND INDIVIDUAL TO BE COVERED IN A HIGHLY FLAMMABLE SUBSTANCE SUCH AS GASOLINE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. MANY OTHER DRIVERS OF THIS MODEL ALSO SAY THIS HAPPENS CONTINUALLY, THAT IT IS A CONSISTENT DEFECT AMONG OTHERS ACROSS THESE MODELS AND CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS REFUSE TO FIX THE ISSUE. *TR

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
THE WINDOWS ON MY JEEP LIBERTY FALL FROM THE TRACK FOR NO REASON. THEY FALL WHEN I DON'T EVEN USE THEM. THEY HAVE BEEN FIXED AT LEAST 5 TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE JEEP. THE NEW PART THAT THEY INSTALL IS APPARENTLY DEFECTIVE BECAUSE THEY ONLY LAST FOR A YEAR AND THEN THEY BREAK AGAIN. THIS SHOULD BE LISTED AS A RECALL SINCE I HAVE SEEN THOUSANDS OF OWNERS OF THIS JEEP COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM, SOME HAVING FIXED THE WINDOWS 12 OR MORE TIMES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL BECAUSE THE WINDOWS SUDDENLY FALLING DOWN FOR NO REASON CAN CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL AND ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SOMEONE CAN REACH IN YOUR CAR AND HARM YOU OR CREATE A CARJACKING ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. *TR
