FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY HAS A DEFECTIVE GAS TANK. WHEN FILLING THE TANK COMPLETELY FULL, THE FUEL PUMP NOZZLE WILL SHUT OFF ONLY TO HAVE GASOLINE COME POURING OUT OF THE TANK ONTO ME, MY CLOTHES, THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE, AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. AFTER INVESTIGATING THE PROBLEM, IT TURNS OUT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. JEEP SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR INSTALLING GAS TANKS THAT ARE DEEMED TO FAIL. THE COST OF THIS GAS TANK ALONE, QUOTED BY THE DEALERSHIP IS $1400.00, AND THE FILLER LINE IS AN ADDITIONAL $300.00. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. ENGINE PROBLEMS ARE ONE THING, PARTS DUE WEAR OVER TIME AND THIS IS UNDERSTANDABLE. BUT TO HAVE A GAS TANK THAT IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS BY SPEWING GASOLINE AT CONSUMERS AND BEING AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. AND CHRYSLER/DODGE/JEEP NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR FAULTY MANUFACTURING IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. AND LETS NOT FORGET THAT THE GOVERNMENT SPENT MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO BALE THEM OUT, WHICH TURNS OUT TO BE TAXPAYERS MONEY, OUR MONEY, AND THEY WON'T STAND BY THEIR PRODUCTS. SHAME ON YOU!! LOOKS LIKE I'LL BE PURCHASING A TOYOTA FJ CRUISER INSTEAD OF AN AMERICAN MADE CLASSIC IN THE FUTURE. THANKS FOR NOTHING JEEP

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
GAS TANK OVERFLOWS WHEN FUELING BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SENSE WHEN ITS FULL. I HAVE TO STOP FUELING BEFORE I THINK ITS FULL SO THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN, SO I AM UNABLE TO FILL TANK COMPLETELY. SPILLS ALL OVER MY CLOTHES, ON THE GROUND AND DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. ALSO I SMELL AN ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL WHEN I'M DRIVING MY VEHICLE SOMETIMES WHICH IS VERY SCARY. *TR

SEATS
THE FABRIC OF ALL OF THE SEATS IN MY JEEP STAIN EXTREMELY EASILY. EVEN WATER STAINS THE SEATS BEYOND REPAIR. YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW DIFFICULT THIS IS LIVING IN NEW ORLEANS WHERE IT RAINS OFTEN. I HAVE HAD THE SEATS PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED 5+ TIMES AND I WORK VERY HARD TO KEEP THEM CLEAN, BUT STILL NOTHING HELPS. THEY ARE NOW DISCOLORED AND HAVE A FOUL SMELL FROM JUST THE WATER DROPLETS ALONE. I HAVE A COUPLE FRIENDS THAT ALSO HAVE THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE AND THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE INTEGRITY OF THE SEAT FABRIC. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS. THIS FLAW REDUCES THE VALUE OF MY CAR AND GIVES A BAD REPUTATION TO THE JEEP NAME, AS WELL AS UNDERPLAYS THE QUALITY THAT IS NORMALLY ASSUMED WHEN PURCHASING A JEEP VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM THAT IS OCCURRING DUE TO THE MISUSE OF THE SEAT OR LACK OF TRYING TO PRESERVE THEIR INTEGRITY. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE THE DAY I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW. IT WAS ONLY AFTER SEEING MANY OTHER OWNERS FILING WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT, I DECIDED TO SPEAK UP SO THAT SOMETHING CAN BE DONE TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION. IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO TO FIX MY SEATS, I OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS BECAUSE EVERY CLEANING PRODUCT/ SERVICE I HAVE TRIED HAS FAILED. MY SEATS (ONCE BEIGE/GREY COLORED) ARE NOW BROWN IN PATCHES, SLIGHTLY MISFORMED ON THE SEATS, AND RETAINING AN UNPLEASANT ODOR (IM ASSUMING FROM THE FABRIC SOAKING UP AND RETAINING ANY FLUID THAT TOUCHES IT). ALSO, NOT JUST FLUIDS STAIN THE SEATS (WHILE THAT IS MY MAIN CONCERN). ANYTHING THAT CAN LEAVE A MARK ON A SEAT, DOES SO AND IT IS PERMANENT NO MATTER WHAT I TRY. THIS INCLUDES, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO, FOODS, PENCIL MARKS, DYE FROM CLOTHES (YES IT SOMEHOW GETS RUBBED ONTO THE SEATS WHILE SITTING AND THE FABRIC RETAINS IT, WHICH I HAVE NEVER SEEN HAPPEN IN ANY OTHER CAR BEFORE), DEODORANT AND/OR CAR SPRAYS FOR IMPROVING SCENT. *TR

WHEELS, SUSPENSION
I HAVE PURCHASED 2 SETS OF TIRES. THE FIRST SET WAS AT ABOUT 65,000 WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE FRONT TIRES WERE BEING WORN ON THE INSIDE. I'VE ROTATED MY TIRES WHEN REQUIRED. THE DEALER SUGGESTED I GET A FRONT END ALIGNMENT. I DID THAT AND HAD ANOTHER SET OF TIRES PUT ON THE FRONT END AND THOSE ON THE FRONT ROTATED TO THE REAR. NOW, THE NEW TIRES ARE SHOWING WEAR ON THE INNER PART OF THE TIRES JUST LIKE THE OTHERS. THE TIRE DEALER SUGGESTED IT MAY BE THE SUSPENSION. I NOTICE THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2006 JEEPS FOR SUSPENSION. WHY WASN'T MINE INCLUDED? *TR

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
THE REAR WINDOW REGULATORS IN THE 06 JEEP LIBERTY ARE FAILING AT AN ALARMING RATE. OURS HAS HAD BOTH BREAK ONCE AND THE DRIVES SIDE TWICE NOW. I HAVE CONTACTED JEEP WITH MY FRUSTRATIONS WITH ZERO HELP. THERE ARE COUNTLESS CLAIMS ONLINE, WITH FRIENDS, ACQUAINTANCES, AND EVEN MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER (EASTON, MD) THAT ALL SUPPORT THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE. I HAVE AGAIN BEEN TOLD THAT THERE WILL BE NO RECALL BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. I DISAGREE STRONGLY!! WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE WINDOW REGULATOR FAILS, THE WINDOW DROPS. WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE IS SOMETHING LEANING UP AGAINST THE WINDOW, A CHILD IN THAT SEAT, A PET? THE RISKS ARE HUGE TO THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD SHOULD SOMETHING FALL OUT. THE OTHER THING THAT IS VERY ALARMING IS THAT EVERYTHING IS BEGINNING TO PRESENT ITSELF AT A SIMILAR TIME FOR THE VEHICLES SHOWING SIGNS OF THE PROBLEM. JEEP CLAIMS IT IS DUE TO PLASTIC PARTS FAILING DUE TO NOT ENOUGH USE?? THIS MAKES NO SENSE. TO SUPPORT MY CLAIM THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE AFFECTING A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE AND CLEARLY NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE, PLEASE SEE THE WEB SITES LISTED BELOW.
