VISIBILITY
THE CAR WAS SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT WHEN WE TRIED TO PUT THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW DOWN IT SLID DOWN AN INCH BUT DID NOT KEEP GOING. WHEN WE TRIED TO PUT THE WINDOW BACK UP, IT DID NOT MOVE BUT THE MOTOR KEPT SPINNING. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE I USUALLY HAVE MY CHILD RIDING IN THE BACKSEAT AND STUFF CAN FLY INTO THE CAR AND CAUSE INJURIES. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED IT FOR AROUND $400. THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM AS BEING COMMON BUT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF A RECALL OR EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WAS GIVEN TO OLDER MODELS. I CALLED THE NATIONAL CHRYSLER HOTLINE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY CAN NOT ESCALATE MY ISSUE UNLESS IT OCCURRED MORE OFTEN. *TR

MY JEEP LIBERTY 2006 HAS HUGE WINDOW ISSUES- ALREADY HAVE HAD 2 REGULATORS REPLACED AND WORKING ON THE THIRD- JEEP SAYS THEY WILL ONLY FIX THE WINDOW LIFT PLATE, BUT IT'S THE WHOLE REGULATOR THAT'S BAD AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT- IF I HAVE IT FIXED, IT'S OVER $300 PER WINDOW, AND CHARGED ME A $90 DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO TELL ME THIS- WHEN IS A RECALL GOING TO BE ISSUED? NOT A SAFETY ISSUE?! TELL THAT TO THOSE OF US WITH SMALL CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT AND A WINDOW FALLS DOWN @ 55 MPH! JEEP NEEDS TO REPLACE ALL FOUR WINDOW REGULATORS AND AT THEIR COST, NOT MINE! AND NOT JUST THE LIFT PLATES! IT'S ONLY GOOD BUISNESS, ESPECIALLY WHEN I'VE ALREADY PAID OVER $20,000 TO JEEP FOR THIS LIBERTY AND NOW CAN'T EVEN DRIVE IT BECAUSE MY WINDOWS ARE CRAHING DOWN! *TT

2006 JEEP LIBERTY HAS DEFECTIVE WINDOWS THAT FALL DOWN AND PRESENT A SAFETY HAZARD. THE 2007 JEEP LIBERTY VEHICLES HAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY FOR THE SAME DEFECT. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE SAME WARRANTY. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BOTH TAILLIGHTS MELTED. THE INSIDE COVER AROUND THE BULB MELTED ONTO THE BULB. THE OUTSIDE COVER MELTED TO BE CONCAVE IN SHAPE. I REMOVED THE MELTED INSIDE PIECES AND REPLACED THE BULBS. I LATER CRACKED THE RIGHT TAILLIGHT AND REPLACED IT. THE OUTSIDE COVER OF THE NEW RIGHT TAILLIGHT HAS MELTED TO BE CONCAVE BUT STILL WORKS. IN MAY OF 2011 THE LEFT TAILLIGHT BRAKE LIGHT BULB WAS OUT. I REPLACED THE BULB BUT IT DID NOT WORK. I REPLACED THE SOCKET AND IT STILL DIDN'T WORK BECAUSE IT WAS MELTED SO BAD. I FINALLY ENDED UP REPLACING THE TAILLIGHT. THE PARTS GUY SAID THERE WAS A NOTATION THAT IF YOU WERE REPLACING THE TAILLIGHT BECAUSE IT MELTED THIS NEW TAILLIGHT WAS MUCH BETTER. SO, THEY KNOW THE TAILLIGHTS MELT BUT ARE UNWILLING TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2006 JEEP LIBERTY FUEL OVERFLOW HAZARD. WHEN REFUELING OUR 2006 JEEP LIBERTY, FUEL OVERFLOWS AFTER FUEL PUMP AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF IS TRIGGERED. THIS OVERFLOW NOW OCCURS EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS REFUELED. NO ONE IS ATTEMPTING TO "TOP OFF" THE FUEL TANK. THE OVERFLOW CAUSES A QUANTITY OF FUEL, THAT I ESTIMATE AT TWO TO FOUR CUPS, TO SPILL ON THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. THIS FUEL OVERFLOW FLAW CREATES AN EXTREME FIRE HAZARD AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION RISK. THIS FLAW OCCURS IN THE WRANGLER MODEL OF CHRYSLER JEEP PRODUCTS ALSO, WHERE A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. THE SAME FLAW IS OCCURRING IN MANY THOUSANDS OF JEEP LIBERTY'S AS IS EVIDENT BY THE HUGE VOLUME OF OWNER STATEMENTS POSTED ON MANY WEBSITES. GO CHRYSLER JEEP IN ENGLEWOOD, CO QUOTED A REPAIR COST OF $2031.00 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WHEN THE OVERFLOW FLAW FIRST OCCURRED IN MY JEEP LIBERTY, IT WAS AN OCCASIONAL PROBLEM THAT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO PREDICT AND WITHOUT A RECALL NOTICE, CONSUMERS ARE UNAWARE OF THIS HAZARD. THIS FLAW CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE PERSON REFUELING THE VEHICLE AND ANYONE NEARBY. THE FUEL SPILLED HAS CAUSED PROPERTY DAMAGE IN THE FORM OF RUINED CLOTHING AND SHOES, AND POSSIBLY DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AS FUEL RUNS DOWN THE SIDE INTO CREVICES AROUND THE REAR WHEEL AND AXLE. THIS SPILLED FUEL COULD REACH THE HOT EXHAUST PIPE AND EXPLODE. WHY WOULD THE MANUFACTURER COVER THIS FLAW UNDER WARRANTY FOR ONE MAKE AND MODEL, THE JEEP WRANGLER, AND NOT COVER THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM FOR ANOTHER MAKE AND MODEL, THE JEEP LIBERTY? IT'S THE SAME PROBLEM CREATED BY THE SAME MANUFACTURER. *TR

GAS TANK OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME WHEN ATTEMPT TO FILL TANK FULL. DEALER SAYS PROBLEM CAN'T BE FIXED AND TANK MUST BE REPLACED. NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY AND COST IS OVER $1500 TO REPLACE. THIS SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE THEY SHOULD TAKE CARE OF.

VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR, VISIBILITY
THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW SUDDENLY, AND UNEXPECTEDLY, FELL OPEN FROM THE FULLY CLOSED POSITION WITH A LOUD CRASHING SOUND. ONE OPEN IT WAS UNABLE TO BE RE-CLOSED. FAILURE IN THIS MANNER WAS VERY STARTLING AND CAN BE SEEN SEEN AS AN UNNECESSARY DISTRACTION WHICH, IN MY OPINION, CONSTITUTES A SAFETY HAZARD. UPON INVESTIGATION I FOUND THAT THE PART OF THE MECHANISM THAT DIRECTLY SUPPORTS THE WINDOW IS MADE OF PLASTIC AND FURTHER IS OF INSUFFICIENT DIMENSION TO SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE GLASS THROUGH REPEATED CYCLES. THE DEALER OFFERED ME THE SAME INADEQUATE PART AS REPLACEMENT WHICH IS DESTINED FOR THE SAME FAILURE. *TR

WE OWN A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT, AND THE REAR WINDOW REGULATOR BROKE AND HAD TO PAY $250 TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE. IN THE BILL WE NOTICE IT READ "UPDATED WINDOW REGULATOR" WHICH MADE ME DO SOME RESEARCH AND APPARENTLY THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF JEEP LIBERTIES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT CHRYSLER WILL NOT RECALL THE PART. FOR US IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE WE HAVE A BABY IN THE REAR SEAT WHO WAS EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS. OF COURSE THE CAR COMPANY AND THE DEALERSHIPS STILL CHARGE YOU $150 FOR DIAGNOSTIC (ALTHOUGH THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT IS) AND $100 FOR THE PART PLUS OTHER FEES. SOME PEOPLE I FOUND HAVE HAD ALL WINDOWS REPLACED TO A COST OF APROX $1000 THIS IS NOT FAIR, THEY KNOW THE PART IS DEFECTIVE, THEY SHOULD FIX IT. THEY DO ACCEPT GOVERNMENT MONEY TO BE SAVED BUT THE CONSUMER IS ON ITS OWN. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. *TR
