AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I'VE HAD MY JEEP FOR 2.5 YEARS NOW. WHEN I FIRST GOT IT, EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND IT WAS INSPECTED PRIOR TO PURCHASE. FOR THE PAST YEAR, THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL COME ON AND OFF ON ITS OWN. AT FIRST IT WAS INTERMITTENT, BUT FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS, IT IS CONSTANTLY ON WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING. IN ADDITION, ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 25 MPH ON A DARK, WINDING ROAD, THE HORN STARTED SOUNDING AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS BEGAN RUNNING AT FULL SPEED. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURNED IT OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN, AND IT STOPPED. THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED AGAIN SINCE.

ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS FILLING GAS TANK. IT WILL SPILL GAS OUT AT YOU OR KEEP SHUTTING GAS NOZZLE OFF WHEN FILLING AT GAS STATION. THIS ISN'T A ONE TIME PROBLEM. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.

"GATE" LIGHT COMES ON DASH AND LIGHTS INSIDE VEHICLE STAY ON, DRAINING BATTERY AND IF YOU LOCK YOUR VEHICLE THE ALARM WILL GO OFF. IT IS ALL CAUSED BY WATER GETTING INTO THE BACK WINDOW WHICH HAS BAD SEALS AND CAUSES SWITCH TO GO BAD. REPLACED YEAR AGO AND NOW HAVE TO REPLACE AGAIN. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE MANY JEEP LIBERTY OWNERS COMPLAIN. FIX THE PROBLEM OR I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER JEEP.

NOTICED THAT THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE FELT LOOSE. THERE HAD BEEN A LOUD METAL SCRAPING NOISE WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 65 MPH ABOUT A MONTH EARLIER, HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED BUT NOTHING WAS FOUND. TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR NEW FRONT TIRES AND AN ALIGNMENT AND WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE LOWER BALL JOINT HAS A LOT OF PLAY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE BALL JOINTS BUT WHEN I CONTACTED CHRYSLER I WAS TOLD THERE ISN'T A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. THE RECALL L27 INCLUDES MY STATE THAT THE VEHICLE IS REGISTERED IN BUT IT WAS BOUGHT IN VIRGINIA, WHICH IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE HAS 120,000 MILES ON IT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EVERY TIME WHEN I FILL THE FUEL TANK, WHETHER I USE THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF OR NOT, FUEL BURPS/SPILLS FROM THE FUEL TANK INLET. OVER THE COURSE OF SIX YEARS, THERE HAS BEEN A LARGE WASTE OF FUEL AND MONEY. WITH THIS ISSUE, THE PAINT UNDER THE FUEL TANK INLET HAS BEGUN TO BUBBLE AND PEEL. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. THIS VEHICLE ACTUALLY BELONGS TO MY WIFE, AND, WHENEVER SHE NEEDS FUEL, I AM THE ONE TO DEAL WITH THE ISSUE AS SHE IS AFRAID TO FILL IT. I HAVE TRIED MULTIPLE TECHNIQUES TO NO AVAIL. THERE ALSO HAS BEEN MULTIPLE TIMES I HAVE RETURNED HOME REEKING OF UNLEADED FROM THE SPILLAGE ON MY SHOES AS WELL AS MY CLOTHING. MANY PAIRS OF SHOES HAVE BECOME UNWEARABLE BECAUSE OF THIS. I WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHALLENGE ANYONE TO FILL THIS TANK WITHOUT SPILLING, NOT JUST A FEW DROPS, BUT MANY, MANY, MANY DROPS EQUIVALENT TO CUPS. ALL WE AFFECTED JEEP OWNERS WANT IS ACCEPTANCE OF RESPONSIBILITY AND A SIMPLE REPAIR. THE PART SHOULD BE EXTREMELY CHEAP, AND I'M SURE MOST OWNERS WOULD INSTALL THE PART THEMSELVES. LET'S STOP THIS COMPLAINING OF THE ISSUE AND JUST RESOLVE IT!!!

TIRES
DUE TO A MANUFACTURING ERROR OF A TIRE, I HAD A BLOWOUT ON THE INTERSTATE THAT ENDED UP TOTALING MY CAR. THE TREAD COMPLETELY SPLIT FROM THE TIRE WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT ANY COLLISIONS OR DAMAGE TO MYSELF OR OTHERS. THE BLOWOUT RIPPED OFF PIECES OF THE FRONT BUMPER, SOME SIDING OF THE CAR, AND CAUSED HUGE COSMETIC DAMAGE IN ADDITION TO WRECKING THE FRAME AND CAUSING SOME INTERNAL DAMAGE, INCLUDING A LEAK OF WIPER FLUID. MY CAR WAS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY (WITH 60,000 MILES) AND THE TIRE WAS A GOODYEAR WRANGLER ST TIRE WITH DOT # M671 EKER. (THERE WAS NO SET OF NUMBERS FOLLOWING THE EKER AS ON MOST TIRES, JUST A BLANK SPACE.)

I HAVE HAD MY JEEP LIBERTY FOR A FEW YEARS NOW. IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. I PARKED MY JEEP IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR THE WEEKEND NO LIGHTS ON AT THAT TIME. I GET IT IT TO GO TO WORK ON A MONDAY MORNING AND MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON BUT ONLY FOR MY PASSENGER. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS COULD HAPPEN AND WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS WHY IS THERE NO RECALL SET FORTH!!!!! I HAVE NOT FIXED IT BECAUSE AIRBAG PROBLEMS COULD BE COSTLY AND IF I WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT TO CAUSE THIS PROBLEM THEN THIS SHOULD NOT BE MY PROBLEM TO FIX!!!
