2006 JEEP LIBERTY. THE WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED AGAIN, THIS IS THE THIRD TIME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT. EVERY WINDOW HAS FAILED AT LEAST ONCE, SOME TWICE. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS ON THIS AND HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM YET NOTHING SEEMS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT. WHERE IS THE QUALITY AND CARE FOR THE CONSUMER? *TR

NO KNOWN CAUSE OF DEFECT EXCEPT CHEAP/FAULTY PARTS FROM MANUFACTURER. WINDOW REGULATOR FIXED NUMEROUS TIME, RESORTED TO DUCT TAPE THAT DOES NOT HOLD. WINDOWS WON'T STAY UP, DEFECTIVE WINDOW REGULATOR FOR 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. NUMEROUS CONSUMER COMPLAINTS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE OF US WHO WORK NIGHTS AND HAVE TO APPROACH THE VEHICLE WITH THE WINDOW NOT INTACT. THE VEHICLE IS NOT SECURE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY FATHER'S JEEP LIBERTY TURBO DIESEL AUTOMATICALLY & RANDOMLY ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN ABOUT 2-3 DAYS ON HIS WAY TO WORK (SIMILAR TO THE TOYOTA SITUATION). THE JEEP ON-BOARD COMPUTER THREW UP AN ENGINE FAULT CODE. WHEN HE TOOK THE CAR TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID HIS ACCELERATOR PEDAL MODULE WAS BAD AND MADE MY DAD PAY OVER $300 TO GET IT REPLACE. THE JEEP HAD UNDER 50K MILES ON IT AND IT SHOULD BE AGAINST THE LAW TO MAKE CUSTOMER PAY TO REPAIR A CAR THAT SPEEDS UP ON ITS OWN. ARE WE THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH A JEEP (CHRYSLER) PRODUCT? WE HAVE RECEIPTS FOR THE REPAIRS AND IT SHOULD HAVE DOCUMENTED THE ENGINE FAULT CODE THAT JEEP DISCOVERED. *TR

WE PURCHASED A USED JEEP LIBERTY 2006 SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. THIS SPRING WE ROLLED DOWN THE REAR WINDOWS AND COULDN'T ROLL THEM UP. IN FACT, THE REAR WINDOWS SEEM TO BE DISCONNECTED FROM THE WINDOW MECHANISM AND CAN FREELY DESCEND. I HAD TO WEDGE THEM IN PLACE TO KEEP THEM UP. IN ARRANGING TO HAVE THESE FIXED WE WERE TOLD BY SERVICE PERSONNEL AT CORWIN CHURCHILL MOTORS IN BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH JEEP LIBERTYS AND THAT NO SAFETY RECALLS FOR THESE DEFECTIVE WINDOWS HAVE BEEN ISSUED. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD FOR CHILDREN OR PETS. IF THE WINDOW WERE TO FREELY DESCEND A CHILD OR PET COULD POTENTIALLY BE INJURED FROM A FALL OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS ISSUE WITH THE INJURY PREVENTION DIRECTOR AT THE NORTH DAKOTA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH WHO SUGGESTED I SUBMIT THIS COMPLAINT TO YOUR OFFICE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, VISIBILITY, EQUIPMENT
BOTH REAR REGULATORS HAVE QUIT WORKING, LEAVING MY JEEP AND MYSELF VULNERABLE TO OTHERS BEING ABLE TO EASILY ENTER THE VEHICLE. WE HAVE REPLACED ONE AND WILL BE REPLACING THE OTHER NEXT WEEK DUE TO THE COST. AS IF THAT WASN'T ENOUGH, THE SUN ROOF JUST QUIT WORKING AND STUCK PARTIALLY OPEN. I HARDLY EVER USE IT, SO IT DID NOT BREAK DUE TO USE. WE TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT WILL COST $1300.00 DOLLARS TO REPAIR, WHICH WE CANNOT AFFORD. ALSO, FUEL QUITE OFTEN OVERFLOWS WHEN FUELING, SPILLING GASOLINE DOWN THE SIDE OF MY JEEP AS WELL AS SPRAYING OUT ONTO THE PERSON FUELING. IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW SLOWLY WE PUT THE GASOLINE IN, IT STILL OVERFLOWS. *TR

I HAVE HAD MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY AT THE DEALERSHIP 6 TIMES IN THE 3 YEARS I'VE OWNED IT. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE. FIRST THE CAR WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK, AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. AFTER MAY MONTHS OF THIS HAPPENING DAILY I HAD IT TOWED ON A FLAT BED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FINALLY REPLACED A CABLE THAT CONNECTED THE GEAR SHIFT TO BRAKE AFTER TELLING ME I COULD JUST SLAM REALLY HARD ON THE BRAKE AND IT WOULD JUST DISENGAGE, I SHOULD JUST HAVE DONE THAT INSTEAD OF HAVING IT TOWED. (STUPID ME I GUESS) THEN I HAD THE SAME ABS TRACTION CHECK ENGINE LIGHT PROBLEMS I'VE HEARD AND READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT, FIRST TIME TAKING IT IN, THE PROBLEMS STOPPED AND THEY SENT ME HOME. SECOND TIME, I DROVE IT STRAIGHT THERE AND MADE THEM LOOK AT IT AND DRIVE IT, THEY HAD MY CAR FOR FOUR DAYS AND CALL ME TO TELL ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE THE CODES WERE STORED AND NOT ACTIVE RESET THE COMPUTER AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. NOW YESTERDAY A YEAR LATER AND AT 48,000 MILES THE CAR STARTED AGAIN. I MADE THEM HOOK IT UP WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING AND THE LIGHTS STILL ON. WHAT THEY DON'T TELL YOU IS THAT SHUTTING YOUR CAR OFF "STORES" THE CODES. WITH THE CAR STILL ON, THE CODES WERE ACTIVE AND THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM. THE BODY CONTROL MODULE. HOWEVER NOW IT IS OUT OF FACTORY WARRANTY AND I HAD TO FIGHT WITH THE GM TO GET IT COVERED. THEY STILL WOULDN'T COVER IT UNDER FACTORY BUT DID COVER IT UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY AND WAIVED MY DEDUCTIBLE. HOWEVER I AM STILL VERY UPSET THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED, THIS SHOULD NOT BE AT MY EXPENSE AT ALL!!! I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER JEEP EVER! *TR

EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL, VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY HAS HAD THE WINDOW REGULATORS FAIL WITH THE WINDOW FALLING BACK INTO THE DOOR UNEXPECTANTLY WHILE DRIVING. ALL FOUR OF THE REGULATORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE REGULATOR HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE AND NOW HAS BROKEN AGAIN FOR A THIRD TIME. NO WARNING SIGNS ARE NOTED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. SO FAR IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED DURING GOOD WEATHER. IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF IT WERE TO HAPPEN DURING INCLEMENT CONDITIONS. THE FIRST TWO FAILURES WERE REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY WITH THE SAME FAULTY PARTS. THE LAST THREE REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED BY MYSELF AS THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. JEEP HAS NOT REDESIGNED THE PART BUT ONLY REPLACES THE FAILED REGULATOR WITH THE POORLY DESIGNED ORRIGINAL EQUIPMENT. THE COMPONENT WHICH FAILS EACH TIME IS A PLASTIC PIECE WHICH HOLDS THE WINDOW AND CONNECTS TO THE REGULATOR CABLE. THIS PLASTIC PIECE FAILS EVEN WITH MINIMAL TO NO USE OF THE WINDOW. THE REAR WINDOWS IN MY JEEP HAVE ALMOST NEVER BEEN ROLLED DOWN AND STILL FAIL. I DO NOT HAVE ANY OF THE PRIOR FAILED WINDOW REGULATORS BUT THE LAST FAILURE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED YET AND WOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION. BELOW UNDER THE "EQUIPMENT INFORMATION" HEADING AND THEN SUBCATEGORY "MODEL", I WAS GIVEN SEVERAL MODEL NUMBERS OF WHICH I HAVE NO IDEA SO I PICKED THE FIRST ONE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME WITH MY WIFE AND 7 MONTH OLD BABY IN HER CAR SEAT WHILE DRIVING, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW COMPLETELY DROPS INSIDE THE DOOR. I'M VERY UPSET ABOUT THIS DUE TO IF THE WINDOW WOULD'VE BROKE OR SHATTERED IT COULD'VE HURT OUR NEW BORN BABY. I HAVE SINCE LOOKED ONLINE AND HAVE SEEN THOUSANDS OF SIMILAR CASES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM (2006 JEEP LIBERTY). I DON'T KNOW WHY CHRYSLER HAS NOT RECALLED THIS PROBLEM WITH THE WINDOWS WHEN SOO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME RE-OCCURRING ISSUE. IM STUCK NOW WITH A BILL FROM THE DEALER DUE TO THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THE WHOLE COST OF THE REPAIR WHICH THEY EXPLAINED THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE MOTOR, WINDOW REGULATOR ALSO THE GLASS. KEEP IN MIND I JUS PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN JANUARY 4 MONTHS LATER IM ALREADY HAVING PROBLEMS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2006 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT FUEL OVERFLOWS OUT OF FUEL FILLER TUBE WHEN FILLING GAS TANK NO MATTER HOW SLOWLY THE TANK IS FILLED. THE AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF AT SERVICE STATION PUMPS DOES NOT SENSE THE BACK PRESSURE OF THE FILL TUBE FOR THESE VEHICLES. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME WHEN REFUELING VEHICLE AT ANY SERVICE STATION. EACH OCCURRENCE CAUSES SPILLAGE OF FUEL (APPROXIMATELY 6-12 OUNCES) ON EXTERIOR PAINTED SURFACE OF VEHICLE, ON PERSON FILLING VEHICLE AND ONTO PAVEMENT CREATING NOT ONLY CUMULATIVE DAMAGE TO VEHICLE EXTERIOR BUT FIRE AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS AS WELL. INTERNET RESEARCH CONCERNING THIS ISSUE WITH JEEP VEHICLES SHOWS THIS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM ACROSS THE UNITED STATES AND CORRECTIVE ACTIONS ARE VERY RARELY ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER AND THEN ONLY IF VEHICLE IS WITHIN WARRANTY. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A DEFECT IN EITHER THE VEHICLE FUEL FILL TUBE, FUEL TANK OR BOTH. IT APPEARS CHRYSLER CORPORATION HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS DEFECT FOR QUITE SOME TIME, BUT HAS YET TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES FOR THE PROBLEM. *TR

IN 2006 JEEP LIBERTY, DRIVER'S SIDE REAR WINDOW DROPPED IN DOOR WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEED IN A PARKING LOT. WHEN ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO ROLL WINDOW UP WITH POWER WINDOW SWITCH STRANGE NOISE WAS MADE AND WINDOW REMAINED DOWN IN DOOR. BROKEN PIECE OF PLASTIC WAS FOUND AT BOTTOM OF THE DOOR. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND A DIFFERENT REPLACEMENT PART HAS BEEN MADE, SHOWING THAT THE ORIGINAL IS NOT ACCEPTABLE BUT CONSUMER IS EXPECTED TO ABSORB THE COST. *TR

I HAD MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY IN MY DRIVEWAY AND LOOKED OUT MY BEDROOM WINDOW AND NOTICED THAT MY REAR WINDOW WAS WIDE OPEN IN THE RAIN!! I'M GLAD THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN IN A HIGH CRIME AREA! ANYWAY, BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY AFTER WRAPPING PLASTIC OVER IT WITH DUCT TAPE AND HAD IT REPAIRED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY (47,000K). THE DEALER SAID IT WAS VERY COMMON IN THAT VEHICLE. I EXPLAINED THAT I'M LUCKY IT DIDN'T HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY WITH SMALL CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT. TWO WEEKS LATER, THE OPPOSITE REAR WINDOW BEGAN TO DROP INTO THE DOOR WELL AFTER HEARING A POPPING SOUND WHICH DISTRACTED ME. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY CHRYSLER. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO GET MY $200 DEDUCTIBLE REIMBURSED FOR THIS INCONVENIENCE. THANK YOU. *TR
