SUSPENSION
THE FRONT BALL JOINT HAS COMPLETELY BROKEN, AND THE OTHER THREE ARE IN BAD SHAPE AS WELL. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR ALMOST 900,000 JEEP LIBERTY'S MANUFACTURED BETWEEN 2002-2006, BUT MINE WAS NOT ON THE LIST FOR SOME REASON UNBEKNOWNST TO ME. THE CAR HAS ONLY 40,000 MILES ON IT, AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON MY CAR WOULD NOT BE INCLUDED IN RECALL ID #57136. *TR

THIS PROBLEM WITH THE WINDOW REGULATORS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE WE BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW. THE DATES OF REPAIR ARE AS FOLLOW FROM NEWEST TO OLDEST, 10/10/11,10/22/10,9/30/10,8/10/09,3/13/08,12/11/07,4/10/07,4/5/07,3/16/07,1/24/07,11/07/06,11/03/06. WE HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR TO THE DEALER THIS MANY TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. WE HAVE NEVER PAID A PENNY FOR THE REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER IS NOW ASKING US TO PAY 100$ SAYING IS A WARRANTY ISSUE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THEY KNOW THEY HAVE A DEFECTIVE PART BUT CANNOT FIX IT. THEY HAVE RECALLED ON SOME MODELS OF THIS CAR. OURS IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. THIS TRIP FOR US TO TAKE THIS CAR IN FOR THE INITIAL CHECK IS 230 MILES THEN WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE AUTHORIZATION OF REPAIRS TO TAKE IT BACK IS ANOTHER 230 MILES. IT IS NOT REASONABLE FOR US TO PAY FOR THE MANUFACTURERS FAULTY PARTS. WE ARE OUT OF POCKET 12 TIMES FOR THE TIME AND GAS TO GO OVER THERE. THIS WINDOW REGULATOR IS DEFECTIVE AND WHEN IT SNAPS THE WINDOW ROD BREAKS JAMS THE DOOR LOCKING MECHANISM THE DOOR THEN WILL NOT STAY CLOSED OR IT WILL NOT OPEN. WE ARE ALSO FILING CLAIMS WITH THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER VIEWING SOME RECOMMENDATIONS ONLINE ABOUT JEEP LIBERTY CRD VEHICLE FIRES I DECIDED TO CHECK THE COMPONENT LISTED AS HAVING POSSIBLE ISSUES ON MY VEHICLE. THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION FOR THE FUEL HEATER LOCATED ON THE FUEL FILTER ASSEMBLY WAS IN FACT SCORCHED AND SOAKED THROUGH WITH DIESEL. A FIRE HAS NOT OCCURRED, HOWEVER I AM SERIOUSLY CONCERNED THAT IT COULD AND THAT THERE IS NOT A MANDATORY RECALL ON THIS PRODUCT. I HAVE LEFT THE CONNECTION UNPLUGGED BUT WINTER IS COMING AND I LIVE IN AN AREA WHERE THAT HEATER IS NECESSARY. *TR

TWO WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY, THE REAR LEFT WINDOW DROPPED AND COULD NOT BE ROLLED UP OR DOWN. IT WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. THE NEXT TIME IT WAS THE RIGHT REAR WINDOW AND IT COST $429.26. THREE WEEKS LATER THE REAR LEFT WINDOW DROPPED AGAIN. THIS TIME WE CONTACTED JEEP/CHRYSLER AND WERE TOLD THAT ALTHOUGH THE WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM HAD BEEN EXTENDED FOR THE 2006 JEEP LIBERTY THAT MINE WAS NOT INCLUDED BECAUSE IT WAS BUILT IN OCTOBER/2005. THE AGENT SAID NOTHING COULD BE DONE AND THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE TO TALK TO - IT WAS A FINAL DECISION. I CALLED BACK AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PREVIOUS CUSTOMER SERVICE AGENT DIDN'T FOLLOW PROCEDURE AND WAS "STUNNED" AT THE WAY I WAS TREATED AND I WAS THEN ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER AND A CASE MANAGER. THERE HAVE NOW BEEN 14 PHONE CALLS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN RESOLVED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. SMALL CHILDREN RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT THAT COULD GET OUT OF SAFETY RESTRAINTS AND BE IN DANGER. THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE LOCKED UP AND SECURED AND IT'S SCARY TO HAVE TO GET INSIDE AN UNSECURED VEHICLE AT NIGHT. THE INTERIOR IS BEING DESTROYED BY CONSTANTLY BEING RAINED AND SNOWED UPON IN A REGION OF THE COUNTRY THAT HAS MORE COLD AND WET WEATHER THAN ANYTHING ELSE. JEEP REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, NO STANDARD POLICY BEING FOLLOWED BY JEEP TO GET THIS MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT FIXED, AND NO RECALL FOR A PROBLEM THAT HAPPENS OVER AND OVER AGAIN ON THE SAME VEHICLE. IF JEEP WILL NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR PRODUCT, THEN CONSUMERS SHOULD UNITE A FILE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BECAUSE THE WAY JEEP IS HANDLING THIS IS JUST PLAIN WRONG. *TR

MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY'S BACK DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR IS BROKEN. THE WINDOW WILL NOT STAY UP AND FALLS DOWN PART WAY WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING AND NEEDS TO BE PULLED BACK UP MANUALLY WHEN YOU STOP. WHEN YOU PRESS THE BUTTON FOR THE WINDOW, YOU CAN HEAR THE WINDOW MOTOR RUNNING, BUT THE WINDOW WILL NOT GO UP. THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD JUST OVER 48,000 MILES. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT FOR THE 2006 JEEP LIBERTY AND AN EXTENDED WARRANTY HAS BEEN ISSUED BY CHRYSLER TO REPAIR 2006 JEEP LIBERTY'S WITH THIS PROBLEM WHICH WERE MANUFACTURED AFTER MARCH, 2006. MY JEEP WAS MANUFACTURED IN FEB. OF 2006. THIS WINDOW REGULATOR WARRANTY NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO ALL 2006 JEEP LIBERTY'S. ACCORDING TO COMMENTS ON THE INTERNET, THIS REPAIR CAN BE $400 AND UP. *TR

MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY HAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE WINDOW REGULATORS AND LIFT PLATES. JUNE 1, 2010, WAS THE FIRST REGULATOR TO GO OUT. THE SECOND ONE WENT OUT SHORTLY AFTER THAT. NOW THE FIRST ONE HAS DROPPED AGAIN. THE FIRST TIME, I PAID OVER $400 FOR THE REPAIR. THE SECOND ONE WAS COVERED BY CHRYSLER COMPLETELY, AND THEY REIMBURSED ME $333 FOR THE FIRST REPAIR WHEN THE SECOND REPAIR WAS DONE. THEY ARE GOING TO "CONSIDER" REIMBURSING ME FOR THIS THIRD ONE, BUT I HAVE TO JUMP THROUGH ALL OF THEIR HOOPS FOR IT TO BE CONSIDERED. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT IS AFFECTING MANY MANY LIBERTY OWNERS. THERE SHOULD BE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THESE REGULATORS AND PLATES. MY DAUGHTER IS DRIVING THIS CAR AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE CONCERNED WITH WHETHER HER WINDOWS ARE GOING TO STAY UP. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. NHTSA SHOULD DEMAND THAT CHRYSLER EITHER RECALL THESE OR AT BARE MINIMUM PUT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON ALL LIBERTYS FOR THESE PARTS. UGH. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. OH, AND WE BOUGHT THE CAR USED IN NOVEMBER 2009. FOR ALL WE KNOW, MULTIPLE REGULATORS MIGHT HAVE BEEN PUT ON THIS CAR IN ITS FIRST 36,000 MILES BEFORE WE BOUGHT IT. *KB
