THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT ALL FOUR POWER WINDOWS WERE INOPERABLE AND WERE UNABLE TO ROLL DOWN IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY.

THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO HAVE THE SWITCH REPLACED AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 97,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 60,000.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS (REGARDLESS OF STATION / HOW I HOLD NOZZLE / SPEED AT WHICH I REFUEL / ETC), THE TANK OVERFLOWS WITH A LOT OF GAS ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND AND SOMETIMES ON ME. THEN THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE STINKS OF FUMES FOR A LONG TIME AFTERWARD. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ALMOST AS I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE BUT IT GETTING WORSE OVER THE PAST YEAR. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
REAR DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW REGULATOR BROKE AFTER ONLY 40,000 MILES ON A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED 4X4. WINDOW RECEIVED ONLY LIGHT USED, WAS NOT USED WHILE FROZEN WITH ICE. THIS FAILURE RESULTS FROM A PLASTIC PART THAT IS SPECIFIED IN THE REGULATOR DESIGN THAT IS NOT DURABLE ENOUGH FOR THIS APPLICATION. THIS FAILURE RENDERS THE VEHICLE UNSECURE AS THE WINDOW EITHER FALLS DOWN ON ITS OWN OR CAN BE PUSHED DOWN FROM THE OUTSIDE BY HAND. IT ALSO CAUSES A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE WINDOW CAN FALL DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS IS ESPECIALLY AN ISSUE DURING WINTER OR STORM CONDITIONS. INCURRED $250 IN REPAIR COSTS. REPLACEMENT PARTS HAVE THE SAME DESIGN FLAW AND CAN BE EXPECTED FAIL AGAIN IN SIMILARLY SHORT PEROIDS OF TIME. *TR

STRUCTURE, VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
MY MOTHER BOUGHT A USED 2006 JEEP LIBERTY HAS NEVER HAD A PROBLEM,SO IN MARCH OF 2010 ME AND MY HUSBAND DECIDED TO PURCHASE A USED 2006 JEEP LIBERTY FROM A TRUSTY CAR DEALER. WITHIN 2 MONTHS OF HAVING THIS JEEP OUR RIGHT REAR WINDOW DROPPED INTO THE DOOR AS WE WERE DRIVING TO A FAMILY FUNCTION. MY BIGGEST FEAR WAS THAT 1 OF OUR 3 KIDS COULD HAVE BEEN HURT BY BROKEN GLASS. MY FATHER REPAIRED THE WINDOW BY WEDGING A PIECE OF WOOD BETWEEN THE DOOR AND THE WINDOW. I LATER CALLED JEEP WHO TOLD ME THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS JEEP AND THAT THEY WOULD GLADLY SPLIT THE COST WITH ME WHICH ONLY COST $600 PER WINDOW AND THEY WON'T WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY KNOW IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I LEFT IT ALONE CAUSE WE COULD NOT AFFORD THIS AT THE TIME. A FEW MONTHS LATER IN NOVEMBER 2010 THE LEFT SIDE REAR WINDOW SLIPPED,ONCE AGAIN MY FATHER REPAIRED IT AT BEST HE COULD. I FINALLY WENT ONLINE TO SEE WHAT I COULD DO REPAIR THE PROBLEM MYSELF AT A CHEAPER COST. I CAME ACROSS A WEB SITE STEIGERS.COM THE GENTLEMAN WHO OWNS THIS COMPANY HAS CREATED A REPLACEMENT PIECE FOR THE BROKEN PART AND IT WORKS GREAT. I REPLACED IT MYSELF WITH NO KNOWLEDGE OF REPAIRING CARS. THE ONLY HARD PART WAS WORKING IN SUCH A TIGHT SPACE..THANK GOD MY HANDS ARE SMALL ENOUGH TO SQUEEZE IN BETWEEN THE DOOR AND THE WINDOW AREA. THE PART IS ABOUT A $100 WITH SHIPPING AND HANDLING AND SO FAR SEEMS TO HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM IT TOOK ABOUT AN HOUR TO DO ALL THE WORK ON 1 WINDOW. THATS NOT OUR ONLY PROBLEM WITH THIS LOVELY VEHICLE WE HAVE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL SPILLING OUT WHEN FILLING THE TANK. THE TANK SEEMS TO BUILD PRESSURE OR CATCH AIR. I DON'T KNOW ALL I KNOW IS IT SCARED ME REALLY BAD THE FIRST TIME.AND WE HAVE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE ESP ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HIT A TURN TO HARD OR HIT A BIG BUMP. HOW WONDERFUL A 4X4 VEHICLE WHO DOESN'T LIKE BIG TURNS,BUMPS OR SNOW. AND THE MOST EXPENSIVE PART IS THE BROKEN WINDOW..THEY TOLD ME ITS CALLED A BINDING CRACK IT HAPPENS TO ALL JEEPS SO DON'T FORCE YOUR JEEP TO DO ITS JOB..AND WORK. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS, I HAVE OCCASIONALLY SMELLED A KEROSENE ODOR WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP LIBERTY DIESEL. TODAY, I READ ABOUT A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL HEATER ON THE LIBERTY DIESEL AND SO I CHECKED THE HEATER ON MY VEHICLE. THE PLASTIC INSULATOR AROUND THE ELECTRICAL PINS OF THE FUEL HEATER CONNECTOR (ON CABLE) IS DISCOLORED AND PARTIALLY MELTED. DOING FURTHER READING THIS EVENING, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS PROBLEM CAN ALSO BE A SOURCE OF FUEL SEEPAGE. ALTHOUGH I DIDN'T SEE ANY EVIDENCE OF FUEL AROUND THE CONNECTOR, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND MAY HAVE BEEN ALSO BEEN THE SOURCE OF THE ODOR I HAVE BEEN SMELLING WHILE DRIVING. I FEEL FORTUNATE TO HAVE DISCOVERED THIS IN A PRE-FAILURE CONDITION AND HAVE NOT (YET) EXPERIENCED A SERIOUS FUEL LEAK, ENGINE FIRE OR ENGINE STOPPAGE DUE TO FUEL SYSTEM FAILURE, I WAS DISAPPOINTED TO LEARN THAT YOUR AGENCY WAS AWARE OF THIS DESIGN PROBLEM BACK IN 2007 (PE07041), BUT CLOSED IT WITH APPARENTLY NO ACTION TAKEN. IN MY OPINION, THIS CONDITION CERTAINLY WARRANTS A MANUFACTURER'S RECALL AND REPAIR. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE PARTIALLY BURNED CONNECTOR ON MY VEHICLE, SHOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN SEEING THEM. IT IS QUITE OBVIOUS THAT THE ELECTRICAL CAPACITY OF THIS CONNECTOR IS BEING EXCEEDED AND IS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2006 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT (3.7L GAS), SPILLS FUEL AT EVERY FILL UP. THE PUMP WILL CLICK OFF, AND ABOUT TWO SECONDS LATER, ABOUT A CUP OF FUEL WILL SPILL OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE ALL OVER MY HANDS, CLOTHES, AND VEHICLE. JEEP DEALER SAID THEY'VE NOT HEARD OF THE PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH WITH 5 MINUTES OF RESEARCH ONLINE, IT'S VERY COMMON. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED IT AS A CERTIFIED JEEP VEHICLE WITH 32,XXX MILES. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE JEEP LIBERTY HAS REGULARLY "SPIT" OUT QUANTITIES OF GASOLINE WHILE FILLING UP AT GAS STATIONS. THE QUANTITIES RANGE FROM 1 TO 8 OUNCES, WITH THE QUANTITY THAT POURED OUT TODAY THE LARGEST AMOUNT YET. THE QUANTITIES VARY BY HOW FAST THE PUMP IS PUMPING AND WHETHER THE PUMP IS HAND OPERATED OR ON AUTOMATIC BUT SOME QUANTITY OF GAS COMES OUT ALMOST EVERY TIME. THE SPILL TODAY LEFT AT LEAST 4 TO 6 OUNCES OF GASOLINE ON THE GROUND WHICH IS BOTH AN ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY HAZARD.

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
IN JULY 2009 THE LEFT, REAR PASSENGER WINDOW IN MY JEEP LIBERTY FELL DOWN BY ITSELF. IN DEC. 2010 THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER WINDOW IN THE SAME VEHICLE FELL DOWN BY ITSELF DURING A SNOW STORM CAUSING APPROXIMATELY 6 INCHES OF SNOW TO ACCUMULATE IN MY VEHICLE. THESE ARE WINDOWS THAT ARE RARELY USED. BOTH THE SERVICE MANAGER AND CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS AT CHRYSLER ADVISED ME THAT THERE IS A FAULTY WINDOW REGULATOR IN THE JEEP VEHICLES WHICH CAUSES THIS PROBLEM, BUT NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN MADE. *TR

WHEN FUELING THE TANK THE GASOLINE PUMP WILL NOT TURN OFF WHEN THE TANK GETS FULL CAUSING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GASOLINE TO SPILL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND AS WELL AS SPLASHING ALL OVER THE HANDLE AND THE PERSON HOLDING THE HANDLE. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED REGARDLESS OF WEATHER OR LOCATION. *TR

FOR THE LAST 2 MONTHS EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY JEEP LIBERTY 2006 GAS SPILLS OUT. THIS IS FRUSTRATING ESPECIALLY WITH THE PRICE OF GAS. I ESTIMATE THAT I LOSE AT LEAST A GALLON EACH TIME. WHEN I FIRST GOT THE JEEP I NOTICED THAT YOU COULD NOT "TOP OFF" THE GAS WHICH EACH FILL. BUT NOW IT JUST SPILLS OUT ALL OVER. HELP!! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY VEHICLE AT A GAS STATION GAS COMES POURING OUT AFTER THE TANK IS FULL. THE GAS NOZZLE CLICKS OFF AND GAS BEGINS TO POUR OUT ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. I HAVE TRIED MANUALLY PUMPING AS WELL AS AUTOMATICALLY PUMPING WITH THE SAME RESULTS. I HAVE ATTEMPTED FILLING AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS WITH THE SAME OUTCOME. THIS DID NOT OCCUR THE FIRST YEAR THAT I OWNED MY CAR, AND ONLY BEGAN IN THE PAST COUPLE MONTHS. THIS IS A HAZARD TO THE ENVIRONMENT AND A POTENTIAL DANGER FOR A FIRE. *TR

TOOK TO JEEP DEALERSHIP & WAS TOLD THAT ENTIRE SHIFTER COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT IS PLASTIC & BRAKES EASILY - COST $200.00. HAVE HEARD THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. *TR

I, LIKE MOST OTHERS OWNING A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THE WINDOW REGULATORS THAT JEEP CONTINUES TO USE. I HAVE REPLACED TWO REAR WINDOWS WITHIN A WEEK COSTING ABOUT $1000.00 ON MY VEHICLE WHICH HAS LOW MILEAGE. I CONSIDER THIS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AS THERE IS NO WARNING TO WHEN THE WINDOWS FAIL AND OBJECTS ENTER THE VEHICLE AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH OR DEATH. *TR
