SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. HE STATED THAT HE EXPERIENCED UNWANTED ABS ACTIVATION, WHEN THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL. WITH THE INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES THE RISK OF A CRASH COULD OCCUR IF THE ABS ACTIVATED WITHOUT WARNING. AN AUTHORIZED TECHNICIAN REWIRED THE ABS SINCE THE AIR BAG SENSORS FAILED. THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, AND HE IS WAITING FOR A RESPONSE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY 4X4 THE REAR WINDOW PASSENGER SIDE HAS STOPPED WORKING, OR SHOULD I SAY IT JUST FELL MAKING A LOUD BOOM WHEN IT CAME CRASHING DOWN, I'M JUST GLAD I DIDN'T HAVE KIDS IN THE BACK SEAT WHEN IT FELL, IT COULD HAVE BROKE AND REALLY HURT SOME ONE. THE LIBERTY ONLY HAS 46,000. MILES ON IT THE WINDOWS HAS NOT BEEN USED AT ALL SINCE I HAVE HAD IT. I HAVE BEEN DOING RESEARCH ON THE PROBLEM AND THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT APPEARS THAT JEEP DOES NOT OFFER A WARRANTY OR A RECALL. BUT A AFTER MARKET IS AVAILABLE NOT EVEN FROM JEEP OF BETTER DESIGN TO FIX THE PROBLEM. HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/DIRECT/VIEW/.F16FE1C/121 HERE IS ONE OF THE WEB SITES WHERE MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN POSTING THE SAME PROBLEM. HERE IS THE SOLUTION FROM AN AFTER MARKET WHERE THE DESIGN LOOKS BETTER AND MAKES MORE SINCE. PLEASE HELP IN TRYING TO GET JEEP TO OFFER A RECALL IN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOME ONE GETS HURT, AND AS 500 OR MORE IS A LOT TO HAVE TO SPEND FOR THERE MISTAKES.

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY CRD WHICH I LEASED IN FEB. 2006 THROUGH JAN. 2009 THEN DECIDED TO PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE. THE REAR WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE FAILED ON BOTH SIDES TWICE. THE FIRST TIME WAS IN JUNE 2007 BOTH REAR PASSENGER DOOR WINDOWS FELL INTO THE DOOR. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN THIS YEAR IN APRIL 2009 FOR THE RIGHT REAR WINDOW AND NOW IN AUGUST 2009 FOR THE LEFT REAR WINDOW. I HAVE SEEN MANY REVIEWS ON THIS AND THAT THIS PROBLEM KEEPS OCCURRING. ONCE THE WARRANTY IS UP YOU PAY APPROXIMATELY $400 PER WINDOW REGULATOR TO BE FIXED. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER/JEEP SHOULD REMANUFACTURE THIS PART AND REPLACE IT FOR FREE. *TR

THE WINDOW REGULATOR ON THE 2006 JEEP LIBERTY HAS A PLASTIC PART THAT CONTINUALLY BREAKS CAUSING THE WINDOW TO SLAM DOWN AND SOMETIMES SHATTER WITH PASSENGERS IN THE REAR SEAT. JEEP'S SOLUTION...REPLACING THE $200+ ASSEMBLY WITH THE SAME CHEAP PLASTIC SLIDE WINDOW MOUNT. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED ON 8-20-09 IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH APPROXIMATELY 50,000 MILES. BEFORE I EVEN DROVE THE CAR OFF THE DEALERSHIPS LOT, THE REAR DRIVER'S-SIDE WINDOW/WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED RENDERING THE WINDOW INOPERABLE. DEALERSHIP DID NOT HAVE PART AND HAD TO SEAL IN UP POSITION SO AS NOT TO FALL, WHILE PART IS BEING ORDERED. UPON EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET ON VARIOUS HIGHLY RESPECTED CAR REVIEW/RATING SITES, I HAVE LEARNED THAT THE 2006 JEEP LIBERTY HAS A KNOWN DEFECT IN QUALITY OF WINDOW REGULATOR DESIGN AND MATERIAL USED WHICH CAUSES WINDOWS TO DROP INTO DOORS OR CEASE OPERATING ROUTINELY ON AVERAGE OF EVERY 2-3 MONTHS. YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING, MY REAR PASSENGER WINDOW DROPPED WHILE I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC. I WAS SUBSEQUENTLY STARTLED TO THE POINT I SWERVED, AND NARROWLY MISSED HITTING ANOTHER CAR WHICH WOULD HAVE CAUSED A MULTIPLE CAR COLLISION ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE. I HAVE SINCE TAPED MY WINDOW IN THE "UP" POSITION UNTIL I CAN RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WITH DEALER. DEALERSHIP HAS INFORMED ME THAT THEY WILL ONLY COVER THIS FIRST REPLACEMENT/REPAIR, AND THAT I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FUTURE WINDOW REGULATOR REPAIRS OF $500.00 EACH. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE. A COMPANY/DEALERSHIP SHOULD STAND 100% BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND SHOULD CERTAINLY ADDRESS POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUES RESULTING FROM SOMETHING AS CRITICAL AS THIS. THE KNOWN WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURE COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS, BODILY INJURY, THEFT/VANDALISM ISSUES, AND DEPRECIATION AND DEGRADATION OF VEHICLE INTERIOR DUE TO WEATHER DAMAGE. I WILL BE FILING COMPLAINTS WITH STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND CAR MANUFACTURER/CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS. A SAFETY RECALL SHOULD IMMEDIATELY BE ISSUED, AND THESE WINDOW REGULATORS SHOULD BE REDESIGNED WITH SOMETHING OTHER THAN PLASTIC THAT HAS PROVEN TO REPEATEDLY FAIL. WHILE CERTAINLY AN INCONVENIENCE OF TIME, AND A FINANCIAL DRAIN AND STRESS TO CONSUMER, THIS IS MOST ASSUREDLY A VERY SERIOUS DANGER TO OCCUPANTS & OTHER DRIVERS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I PURCHASED A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT AND I HAVE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM LATELY WITH THE BRAKES AS IF THEY WILL NOT STOP, IT HAS A TOGGLING FEEL UNDER YOUR FOOT WHEN YOU PRESS THE BRAKES TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AS IF IT WILL GIVE WAY AND NOT STOP, I'VE BEEN TOLD BEFORE I GOT ON LINE THAT IT MAY BE THE ABS, OR THE ANTI BRAKES, BUT I CALLED THE JEEP DEALER SHIP AND HE SAID THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE GOING BY THE LAST EIGHT DIGITS OF MY SERIAL NUMBER, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND I WOULD LIKE FOR THEM TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT OR AT LEAST CHECK IT. BEFORE THEY WILL CHECK IT, I WILL HAVE TO PAY THEM. I READ THE RECALL INFORMATION AND I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT AND HE CAN SAY THAT MY JEEP IS NOT ON RECALL WHAT'S UP WITH THAT. DO I HAVE TO BE KILLED IN THIS VEHICLE FOR THEM TO EVEN CHECK IT. OR INJURE SOMEONE ELSE BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO DO THEIR JOB. I WILL BE TAKING MY JEEP TO E-FORD IN FLORENCE SC TO BE CHECKED AT MY EXPENSE WHICH I FEEL IS NOT RIGHT. BUT I CARE MORE ABOUT MY LIFE THAN THEY DO I GUESS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH ABS/ELECTRONIC STABILITY SYSTEM SETTING WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH AND DISABLING ABS/ESP. WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATE, AND TURN OFF RANDOMLY. MALFUNCTION HAS NOW LEAD TO FAILURE OF ABS, CAUSING LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL WHILE BRAKING. ABS CYCLED WITHOUT NEED, AND IMPROPERLY, CAUSING UNEVEN BRAKING AND VIOLENT, UNCONTROLLED SWERVING OF VEHICLE. REQUIRED REMOVAL OF ABS PUMP FUSE TO MAKE VEHICLE DRIVABLE AGAIN. THIS OCCURRED UNDER NORMAL BRAKING FROM ~45MPH TO A RED LIGHT. HAD THIS OCCURRED AT FREEWAY SPEEDS, OR UNDER AN EMERGENCY STOP, THERE WOULD HAVE ALMOST CERTAINLY BEEN AN ACCIDENT. OWNER FORUMS REPORT THIS AS A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. THE WINDOW REGULATOR AND GLASS WERE REDESIGNED BY THE CORPORATION, WHICH WAS A RESULT OF THE WINDOWS MALFUNCTIONING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL OF THE WINDOWS IN THE VEHICLE WOULD RANDOMLY FALL DOWN INTO THE DOOR AND FAIL TO COME BACK UP. HE WAS FORCED TO TAPE THE WINDOWS IN THE UP POSITION IN HIS VEHICLE. THROUGH RESEARCH, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON FAILURE. HE SPOKE WITH A SERVICE TECHNICIAN AT THE DEALER WHO ADMITTED THAT MANY OTHER CONSUMERS EXPERIENCE THE SAME DEFECT AS WELL. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THE WINDOW REGULATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

BOUGHT A USED 2006 JEEP LIBERTY WITH 13K MILES. TWO TIMES THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOWS HAVE FAILED AND FALLEN INTO THE DOOR WHILE DRIVING ALONG THE FREEWAY. CHRYSLER DEALER AND INTERNET RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS ISSUE RECURS SEVERAL TIMES ON THIS MODEL. PARTS WERE REPLACED BY DEALER BUT THIS ISSUE APPARENTLY COULD REOCCUR. THE ISSUE IS A DEFECTIVE DESIGN IN THE WINDOW REGULATOR THAT REGULARLY FAILS. *TR
