1. POWER WINDOWS - THREE OUT OF FOUR OF THE POWER WINDOWS ON MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT HAVE FALLEN WITHIN THE LAST MONTH. IT IS NOT WEAR AND TEAR BECAUSE I HARDLY USE THE BACK WINDOWS, IT IS A DEFECT. I HAVE AN INFANT DAUGHTER AND THIS IS A HAZARD FOR HER SINCE SHE HAS TO RIDE IN THE BACK. 2. ELECTRICAL SENSORS - WHILE COMING TO A SLOW STOP OR TURNING MY VEHICLE HAS SUDDENLY SHUT OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON. *****BOTH OF THESE ISSUES ARE COMMON WITH THIS MAKE & MODEL. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL? IS CHRYSLER WAITING ON SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE THEY MAKE A MOVE? I CAN'T AFFORD THE RIDICULOUS PRICE TO HAVE THESE DEFECTS FIXED. I HAVE TO FEED MY FAMILY...SO I MUST TAPE MY WINDOWS UP AND HOPE THEY DON'T GET BROKEN IN TO. *TR

MY CAR WAS PARKED, WHEN THE REGULATOR FOR THE BACK PASSENGER'S SIDE WINDOW BROKE CAUSING THE WINDOW TO FALL COMPLETELY INTO THE DOOR. THIS IS AT LEAST THE 13 TIME ONE OF THE REGULATORS HAS BROKEN IN MY LIBERTY. THIS TIME I WAS LUCKY BECAUSE MY CAR WAS PARKED. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL TIMES IT HAS BROKEN WHILE DRIVING WHICH IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY PASSENGERS. JEEP HAS NOT YET RECALLED THE PART EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE PART IS FAULTY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, THE RIGHT REAR WINDOW FELL OFF IT'S TRACK. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, THE OTHER TIMES INVOLVED THE FRONT PASSENGER'S WINDOW IN APRIL OF '07, AND THE LEFT REAR WINDOW IN JULY OF '08.. THE FIRST TWO WERE COVERED BY WARRANTY. OUR '06 JEEP IS ONE YEAR PAST THE 36 MONTH WARRANTY AND HAS ABOUT 22,000 MILES. I HAVE TALKED WITH TWO DEALERS AND THE CHRYSLER COMPLAINT LINE AND THE INFORMATION SO FAR IS THAT CHRYSLER, EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM IS PERVASIVE ENOUGH THAT THEY ISSUED SERVICE BULLETIN # 23-008-09 TO THE DEALERS ACKNOWLEDGING THE CHRONIC PROBLEM, WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY AND MAKES THE OWNER FOOT THE BILL. I HAVE SINCE BEEN ONLINE AND THERE ARE LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF SIMILAR INSTANCES BEING REPORTED. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO SUCK IT UP AND ISSUE A RECALL. PERIOD. *TR

MY VEHICLE, A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY, HAS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH WINDOW REGULATORS FAILING. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE. THE WINDOWS FALL DOWN INTO THE DOORS CREATING A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. THE FALLING WINDOW STARTLED ME AND IT HAPPENED DURING A DOWNPOUR, CREATING A MAJOR DRIVING DISTRACTION. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET, BUT CHRYSLER HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. THEY SHOULD DO SO IMMEDIATELY. *TR

MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY STARTED EXPERIENCING POWER WINDOW PROBLEMS AROUND NOV 06. ALL 4 POWER WINDOWS WOULD NOT ROLL DOWN OR THEY WOULD ROLL DOWN PART OF THE WAY THEN GET STUCK AND WOULDN'T ROLL BACK UP. IT WAS A SAFETY CONCERN WHEN THEY WERE STUCK OPEN. IT WAS ALSO AN ISSUE IN DRIVE-THROUGH SITUATIONS AND OTHER TYPICAL SCENARIOS WHERE YOU WOULD ROLL DOWN A WINDOW. A LOCAL CHRYSLER SERVICE DEPT REPAIRED IT REPEATEDLY FROM 2006 UNTIL THEY CLOSED IN EARLY 2009, THEN ANOTHER CHRYSLER SERVICE DEPARTMENT MADE THE LAST REPAIR IN JULY 2009. REPAIRS RANGED FROM RE-WIRING THE WINDOWS TO COMPLETELY REPLACING THE INTERNAL ELECTRONIC SYSTEM. *TR

ON MY JEEP LIBERTY THE REAR WINDOW ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE WILL NOT ROLL UP. I DROVE TO FILL UP MY GAS TANK ON TUESDAY EVENING, AND WHEN I WAS REENTERING MY VEHICLE AFTER FILLING UP, I NOTICED THAT THIS WINDOW WAS DOWN. I AM NOT ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE, BUT I HIGHLY DOUBT I WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE TO THE GAS STATION WITHOUT NOTICING THE WIND NOISE WITH THAT WINDOW DOWN. ANYWAYS, I USED THE BUTTON TO TRY AND ROLL IT UP AND IT DIDN'T MOVE. AFTER A COUPLE OF TRIES WITH THE BUTTON, AN ODD GRINDING SOUND STARTED COMING FROM THE DOOR. I GOT OUT AND WENT AROUND TO SEE WHAT WAS HAPPENING. I OPENED THE DOOR AND USED THE REAR BUTTONS TO ROLL IT UP, AND THE NOISE CONTINUED AS WELL AS SOME KIND OF PIPE/WIRE CAME OUT OF THE DOOR. WHEN I TRIED TO GENTLY WIGGLE THE WINDOW TO SEE IF IT WAS BENT OR SOMETHING, THE PART THAT WAS STILL UP SLID INTO THE DOOR (SO THE WHOLE WINDOW IS DOWN NOW AND WON'T ROLL UP). I LIVE IN A DORM AT A HUGE SCHOOL, SO HAVING MY WHOLE CAR EXPOSED BY THIS OPEN WINDOW MAKES ME EXTREMELY NERVOUS. I HAVE TAPED A TRASH BAG OVER IT FOR NOW IN CASE IT RAINS, BUT IT'S AWFULLY LOUD WHEN I'M DRIVING, AND I DOUBT IT WILL LAST MUCH LONGER. I HAVEN'T TAKEN IT TO A DEALER YET BECAUSE I WANTED TO LOOK ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF THIS WAS HAPPENING TO ANYONE ELSE. I'VE SEEN SO MANY COMPLAINTS AND SIMILAR STORIES THAT I AM QUITE UPSET ABOUT THE CIRCUMSTANCES. *TR

I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATORS. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER JEEP HAS DONE NOTHING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. A RECALL FOR THE WINDOW REGULATORS NEEDS TO BE PUT INTO PLACE. WHY SHOULD THE CAR OWNERS KEEP PUTTING OUT MONEY TO FIX THE WINDOWS WHEN THE REPLACEMENT PART WILL ONLY BE ANOTHER PLASTIC PART THAT WILL BREAK AGAIN IN TIME! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2006 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT OVERFLOWS FROM THE GAS TANK WHEN FILLING GAS. THIS HAPPENS AT VARIOUS GAS STATIONS. THE AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF AT SERVICE STATION PUMPS DO NOT SENSE PRESSURE TO SHUT OFF. THIS CAUSES FUEL TO SPILL ON SIDE OF CAR, GROUND AND POSSIBLY THE PERSON FILLING THE TANK. THIS IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD, FIRE HAZARD AND COULD CAUSE HARM AS AN INHALANT. *TR
