POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
VEHICLES STALLS AFTER EXTENDED OFF PERIOD. VEHICLE SHUDDERS UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. CHRYSLER HAS 2 TSBS TO FIX THIS- 21-016-05 AND 21-009-06 WHICH CALLS FOR REPLACING A TROUBLE PRONE TORQUE CONVERTER. CHRYSLER HAS AN UPDATED TORQUE CONVERTER TO FIX THIS PROBLEM YET WILL NOT TAKE ACTION TO FIX THE VEHICLE EVEN AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS SINCE 2006 TO GET TRANSMISSION FIXED PROPERLY. I WOULD LIKE THIS LOOKED INTO AS MYSELF AND NUMEROUS OTHER OWNERS OF THE 2005-2006 JEEP LIBERTY WITH THE DIESEL ENGINE EXPERIENCE THE SAME ISSUE. THE TRUCK HAS STALLED AFTER STARTING ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS CAUSING CONCERN FOR ACTION SINCE I HAVE HAD MY PREGNANT WIFE WITNESS THIS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AT THIS FIRST OCCURRENCE, WHILE PULLING OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP PARKING LOT WITH THE VEHICLE, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW DELL INTO THE DOOR. I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY INFORMED ME THEY WOULD FIX IT FREE OF CHARGE. THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE WINDOW FALLING DOWN OCCURRED IN JUNE 2010 ABOUT A YEAR AFTER PURCHASE, AFFECTING THE RIGHT REAR WINDOW, WHICH HAD NOT EVEN BEEN USED. I FOUND OUT THEN THAT THERE WAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE WINDOW REGULATOR IN 2006 & 2007 JEEP LIBERTYS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. THE 3RD OCCURRENCE, WITH THE LEFT REAR WINDOW IN NOVEMBER OF 2010, MADE ME GET ONLINE AND FILE THIS REPORT AFTER CARMAX REFUSED TO HONOR THEIR WARRANTY ON THIS REPAIR AND SENT ME TO JEEP WHO CHARGED 100 DOLLARS FOR IT. CHECKING THE SERVICE HISTORY THROUGH JEEP.COM, I FOUND THAT THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR THIS PROBLEM AT LEAST TWICE WITH THE PREVIOUS OWNER. I WOULD LIKE FOR THE CHRYSLER COMPANY TO TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS AND ISSUE A RECALL, REPAIRING THE PROBLEM IN A WAY THAT IT STAYS FIXED, RATHER THAN REPLACING THE WINDOW REGULATOR WITH MORE FAULTY PARTS AS THEY HAVE BEEN DOING. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS AND DISTRACTING IF IT FALLS WHILE TRAVELLING DOWN THE HIGHWAY OR, IN MY CASE, OVER 2 HOURS FROM HOME IN FREEZING TEMPERATURES WITH A 7 MONTH OLD BABY IN THE SEAT BY THE WINDOW.

THE WINDOW REGULATOR OF MY REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW BROKE CAUSING THE WINDOW TO FALL INTO THE DOOR. LUCKILY MY CAR WAS PARKED AT THE TIME AND I DON'T LIVE IN AN AREA THAT IS GETTING SNOWED ON. THIS IS AT LEAST THE 12TH TIME ONE OF THE REGULATORS HAS BROKE SINCE I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 2006. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
MY REAR TAIL LIGHTS AND STOP LIGHTS BULBS KEEP BURNIGING OUT. THE REAR PASSENGER HOUSING HAS BEEN REPLACED FREE BY THE DEALER. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE SAME HOUSING IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS. THE REAR TAIL LAMP AND BRAKE LAMP BULBS DO NOT BURN THE FILAMENT THE LIGHT BULBS ACTUALLY EXPLODE INSIDE THE HOUSING OR MELT THE HOUSING. THE PLUGS THAT HOLD THE BULBS ARE SCORCHED. I HAVE BOTH THE REAR LAMP AND PLUGS TO SHOW THE DEFECT. I AM NOT THE ISOLATED CASE: MOST LIBERTY OWNERS AND SOME GRAND CHEROKEE OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. MY SECOND COMPLAINT IS A FUEL LEAK AT THE CONNECTION OF THE FUEL HEATING ELEMENT. THE FILTER HEAD WHERE THE FUEL FILTER IS ATTACHED ALSO HAS A HEATING ELEMNT.. THE ELECTIC PLUG CONNECTION AT THE HEAD LEAKED FUEL ONTO THE CONNECTION. I OBSERVED WHEN THE IGNITION WAS TUNED ON, THE FUEL LEAKED AND VAPORIZE AS IT WAS BEING SHORTED AND HEATED. I DISCONNECTED THE ELECTRIC PLUG., FILLED THE FEMALE RECEPTACLE WITH FUEL TANK EPOXY AND RUBBER PLUG FOR GOOD MEASURE. WILL BE REPLACING SCORCHED CONNECTION AND FILTER HEAD AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I WILL KEEP ALL DEFECTIVE PARTS FOR YOUR INSPECTON UPON YOUR REQUEST THANK YOU.

FAILURE OF HIGH-PRESSURE SEND/RECEIVE POWER STEERING LINE DUE TO RUSTED CONNECTOR ON A VEHICLE WITH 42,000 MILES ON IT LEADING TO A $600 REPAIR AND LOSS OF USE OF MY VEHICLE FOR OVER A WEEK. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP LIBERTY ACCORDING TO MANY LIBERTY OWNERS AND JEEP WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS PART, WHICH REPEATEDLY FAILS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
I HAVE A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED WITH APPROXIMATELY 88,000 MILES ON IT. RECENTLY I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE A PROBLEM WHERE THE FUEL PUMP NOZZLE DOES NOT SHUT ITSELF OFF AUTOMATICALLY WHEN MY FUEL TANK IS FULL. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I THOUGHT THIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMP AT THE STATION, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED AT MULTIPLE STATIONS AND EVERY TIME I PUMP FUEL. I'VE JUST BEEN TRYING TO PAY CLOSE ATTENTION AND STOP THE FUEL FLOW BEFORE MY TANK GETS FULL. THIS OVERFLOWING FUEL IS GOING TO DAMAGE THE PAINT ON MY VEHICLE AND IS A FIRE HAZARD AT THE GAS STATION, NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT THE FUEL HAS SPEWED ONTO MY SHOES AND CLOTHING ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE PROGRESSING NOW, AS YESTERDAY WHEN I WENT TO GET FUEL, THE NOZZLE SPEWED IMMEDIATELY UPON BEGINNING TO PUMP (AND THE TANK WAS NEARLY EMPTY AS MY FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR HAD JUST GONE OFF). THE ONLY WAY I COULD GET FUEL INTO MY TANK WAS TO MANUALLY CONTROL THE FLOW WITH THE NOZZLE SO THAT IT WENT INTO THE TANK VERY SLOWLY. I HAVE CONTACTED MY JEEP DEALERSHIP AND HAVE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT LATER THIS WEEK. I'VE READ ABOUT A LOT OF OTHERS WITH THIS ISSUE, AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY WILL NEED TO REPLACE MY FUEL TANK. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 40 MPH. WAS NOT ROLLING UP OR DOWN THE POWER WINDOWS, WHEN THE BACK WINDOW SUDDENLY FELL FROM BEING CLOSED TO HALF OPEN. IT WOULD NOT ROLL BACK UP. IT WAS STARTLING AND DISTRACTED MY DRIVING MOMENTARILY. FAULTY REGULATORS WERE THE CAUSE OF PREVIOUS FAILURES AND THE BROKEN GLASS AND I EXPECT THE SAME DETERMINATION WILL BE MADE WHEN I BRING IT TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP LATER THIS WEEK FOR REPAIR. THE MOST RECENT (NOV. 29, 2010) FAILURE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE BACK WINDOW WAS THE SECOND TIME THIS OCCURRED ON THIS PARTICULARLY WINDOW. PREVIOUS REPAIRS INVOLVED WINDOW AND REGULATOR REPLACEMENT. THIS IS A MASSIVE PROBLEM WITH JEEP LIBERTY SUVS AND A REAL SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN IN MY OPINION. *TR

2006 JEEP LIBERTY MADE IN MAY 06. THIS MODEL IS SIMILAR TO THE 07. GAS TANK FILLING TO FULL, GASOLINE SHOOTS OUT THE GAS INLET WITH MUCH BACK PRESSURE. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS CONSISTENTLY FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE WHAT STATION I GO TO, OR HOW FAST THE GASOLINE IS FLOWING. *TR

THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW FELL OFF OF ITS TRACK AND FELL DOWN INSIDE THE DOOR, WHERE MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS SEATED, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN 65 MPH DOWN A MAJOR HIGHWAY, ON THE WAY TO VISIT FAMILY OUT OF STATE. I HAD A SIMILAR INCIDENT A YEAR AGO, BUT WITH THE DRIVERSIDE WINDOW. THIS WINDOW TRACK WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT THE GLASS HAD TO BE PAID OUT OF POCKET (BECAUSE OF A CHANGE DONE TO THE NEW TRACK). THE RECENT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW IS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING REPAIRED. *TR

THREE OF THE FOUR WINDOWS HAVE HAD THE REGULATORS BREAK - THE FIRST ONE REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY, THE SECOND THE DEALERSHIP CHARGED ME (EVEN THOUGH I HAD A WARRANTY IN EFFECT) AND THE THIRD WINDOW IS CURRENTLY BEING HELD IN PLACE BY GORILLA TAPE (THE VIEW OUT THE PASSENGER FRONT WINDOW IS FORTUNATELY NOT OBSCURED). THIS WINDOW STARTED FALLING IN WHEN WE HIT A BUMP DRIVING DOWN I-95 AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. GIVEN THE HUGE NUMBER OF ISSUES WITH THIS MODEL YEAR WITH THE WINDOW REGULATORS, IT SEEMS INEVITABLE THAT THE WINDOW OF THE FINAL WINDOW WILL GIVE WAY AT SOME UNKNOWN POINT IN THE FUTURE. WHY JEEP HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS IS INEXCUSABLE. *TR
