ENGINE
I WAS AT THE CAR WASH AND I WAS RUNNING MY A/C AND EVERYTHING WAS WORKING GREAT. ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WAS HOT AIR COMING OUT OF THE BLOWER WHICH HAS ONLY BEEN WORKING IN SPEEDS 3 AND 4. IT IS EXTREMELY HOT RIGHT NOW IN AMERICA. TODAY IN FORT WAYNE IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE 105 AND TOMORROW 106. I HAVE TAKEN EXCELLENT CAR OF THIS JEEP AND SERVICED IT REGULARLY. THIS HAS COME TO GREAT SHOCK TO ME AND MY WIFE AS WE HAVE JUST MOVED TO THE FORT WAYNE AREA INDIANA. WE ARE DOWN TWO VEHICLES WITH THIS HEAT. HER CAR BLEW A TIMING CHAIN AND IT WAS ALSO A CHRYSLER PRODUCT. WE COULDN'T AFFORD TO FIX THE ENGINE FOR THAT AND THE COST FOR THE A/C IS 866.00 FOR THE JEEP. I HAVE READ A LOT OF BLOGS ON OTHERS LOSING THEIR A/C IN THIS YEAR OF JEEP. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE A STROKE OR WORSE AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX A SIX YEAR OLD JEEP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT CONFIRMED THE DRIVER WAS TRAVELING 5 MPH WHEN THE DRIVER'S FRONT WHEEL DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 76,803 UPDATED 08-07-12 *BF CHRYLSER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE BALL JOINTS WERE REPLACED IN 2007. HOWEVER, TWO MECHANICS VERIFIED THE BALL JOINTS AND STATED THEY WERE THE ORIGINAL BALL JOINTS. THE LOWER BALL JOINTS WERE REPLACED ND THE UPPER BALL JOINTS WERE IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT. THE CONSUMER STATED THE ORIGINAL BALL JOINTS WERE NOT LUBRICATED AND WHEN THE BOOTS BECAME TORN/CRACKED IT ALLOWED DIRT AND WATER TO GET INTO THE JOINT, WHICH CAUSED EXCESSIVE WEAR. UPDATED 08/09/12

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE HAD FILLED THE TANK UP ON OUR 2006 JEEP LIBERTY SINCE WE PURCHASED IT ON MAY 29,2012. 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. TWO WEEKS LATER I GO TO A DIFFERENT PUMP TO FILL IT UP, AND IT HAPPENS AGAIN. SO I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THAT WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM AND WE TOOK IT IN FOR THEM TO LOOK AT. THEY REPLACED A CANISTER AND LEAK PROTECTION GUARD, WHICH DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. 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 NHSTA. 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. *JB

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
I HAVE REVIEWED THAT THERE ARE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS REGARDING FAULTY WINDOW REGULATORS ON THESE PARTICULAR CHRYSLER VEHICLES. THESE PLATES IN THE WINDOW REGULATORS GIVE OUT CAUSING THE AUTO GLASS TO SLIDE DOWN INSIDE THE DOOR. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE BOTH REAR REGULATORS REPLACED TWICE AND RECENTLY MY FRONT PASSENGER REGULATOR GAVE OUT. I HAVE HAD 3 REGULATORS REPLACED PRIOR TO MY VEHICLE REACHING 30,000 MILES. MY RECENT ISSUE: MY FRONT WINDOW BEGAN TO LOWER ON ITS ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO RAISE THE WINDOW WITH THE SWITCH IT THEN IMMEDIATELY FELL DOWN INSIDE THE DOOR CAUSING RAIN/HAIL TO ENTER MY VEHICLE WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY HAVE OFFERED NO SOLUTION STATING THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS PART EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE NUMEROUS CONSUMER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE FAULTY REGULATORS. *TR

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED WHO STATED THEY ONLY ISSUED THE RECALLS TO SALT STATES AND OFFERED NO OTHER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
WHILE DRIVING WITH MY DAUGHTER, I PUSHED THE BUTTON TO CLOSE THE OPEN SUNROOF AND HEARD A LOUD POPPING NOISE. A PART FLEW OFF OF THE VEHICLE AND THE SUNROOF WOULD NO LONGER CLOSE. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ENTIRE MODULE FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACING. I ONLY HAD 37,500 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THIS REPAIR COST OVER $1000 AND HAD TO BE DONE AS A SECURITY ISSUE WOULD EXIST WITH AN OPEN SUNROOF THAT IS NOT ABLE TO BE CLOSED. CONTACTED CHRYSLER JEEP AND THEY REFUSED TO COVER ANY OF THE COST FOR THIS DEFECTIVE PART. *JB

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
THIS PROBLEM PERTAINS TO THE 2006 JEEP LIBERTY CRD 2.8L DIESEL. UNDER ACCELERATION FROM 55 MPH TO 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WOULD NOT GO OVER 3,000 RPM. WHEN THE VEHICLE SLOWED TO 45 MPH, IT WOULD NOT INCREASE SPEED, EFFECTIVELY IN A "LIMP-IN MODE" . AFTER THE VEHICLE STOPPED, THE ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES THEN RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE TRAVELED FOR APPROXIMATELY 5-7 MILES WITH NO PROBLEMS THEN THE INCIDENT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE JEEP DEALER WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND AFTER TWO WEEKS THE DEALER BASICALLY GAVE UP TRYING TO FIX THE CAR. THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN FIXED AND AS I SCAN THE INTERNET I FIND THIS IS A COMMON YET DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

ALSO, IDLE IN DRIVE WHEN STOPPED THERE ARE SURGES THAT CAUSE A NEAR STALL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AS IT CAN HAPPEN WHEN MAKING 2-POINT OR 3-POINT TURNS ON A ROAD WITH TRAFFIC. *TR

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
WINDOW MECHANISM FAILED WHILE DRIVING AND WINDOW CAME OPEN UNEXPECTEDLY. ALL WINDOWS HAVE FAILED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE NEW. EACH TIME, JEEP REPLACES THE MECHANISM WITH THE SAME FAULTY PARTS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, BECAUSE WINDOWS FALLING OPEN WHILE DRIVING IS A SHOCK TO THE DRIVER AND CAUSES A DISTRACTION, ESPECIALLY IN BAD WEATHER. IT ALSO PREVENTS PARKING THE VEHICLE SAFELY, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS NOT SECURE. *JS
