LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE REGULATOR MOTOR OF THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW MALFUNCTIONED AND THE WINDOW SLID DOWN THE TRACK. CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE OF THIS DEFECT CAUSED THE DOOR LATCH TO BRAKE, MAKING THE DOOR INOPERABLE. THE CONSEQUENCE IS A SAFETY HAZARD IF AN ACCIDENT OR ROLLOVER REQUIRED THE PASSENGER TO EXIT THE AUTOMOBILE. THE FAILURE OF REGULATOR ELECTRIC WINDOW MOTORS IS COMMONPLACE ON CHRYSLER PRODUCTS, WHEREAS, THESE OCCURRENCES ARE ALL OVER THE INTERNET. THE DEALER FIXED THE PROBLEM AT A COST OF $600. THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF CHRYSLER WARRANTY, AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY INSURANCE CARRIER WOULD ONLY COVER THE MOTOR. THEY DID NOT COVER THE BROKEN DOOR LATCH, OR THE WINDOW GLASS. AFTER SEVERAL CONVERSATIONS WITH CHRYSLER, THEY ADMITTED TO HAVING A RUNNING CHANGE IN THE ENGINEERING OF THE ELECTRIC WINDOW ASSEMBLY, AND YOU CANNOT BUY THE REGULATOR MOTOR SEPARATELY. YOU MUST BUY THE GLASS WINDOW AND THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY TOGETHER. I BELIEVE THE HISTORY OF THIS FAILURE WARRANTS A RECALL BY THE MANUFACTURER FOR SAFETY CONCERNS WITH THE DOOR LATCH BREAKING AS A RESULT OF BAD ENGINEERING. *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
CLUTCH SAFETY SWITCH ON 2006 JEEP LIBERTY (3.7 L GAS ENGINE) FAILED AFTER 40 K. IRONICALLY, THIS REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE MASTER CYLINDER (COST $375). WOULD IGNORE PROBLEM, BUT THIS ALSO DEACTIVATES THE CRUISE CONTROL. SILLY DESIGN IN THAT A SIMPLE SWITCH FAILURE REQUIRES HYDRAULIC SYSTEM WORK. *TR

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED CAUSING WINDOW GLASS TO FALL OPEN. OUR FAMILY PET EXITED THE WINDOW WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING. THESE WINDOW REGULATORS FAIL EASILY AND WITHOUT NOTICE. WINDOWS WILL SUDDENLY JUST DROP, OR OPEN. THIS CAN ALLOW A PET OR CHILD TO EXIT THE VEHICLE WHILE MOVING. ALSO A SECURITY HAZARD AS THE WINDOW REGULATOR CAN BE BROKEN EASILY BY PLACING BOTH HANDS ON THE WINDOW AND PUSHING DOWN CAUSING THE PLASTIC PARTS IN THE REGULATOR TO FAIL. THE REGULATOR HAS TO BE REPLACED - IF DONE BY A DEALERSHIP CAN COST $450 PER WINDOW. THE ARE MANY DOCUMENTED CASES OF MULTIPLE WINDOW REGULATORS FAILING ON ALL YEAR MODELS. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
THE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED TO 65 MPH. NO AMOUNT OF PUSHING ON THE BRAKES MADE THE CAR STOP. SHE WAS GOING DOWN A MOUNTAIN, WHIZZED PAST A STOP SIGN, AND WENT AROUND ANOTHER CURVE UNTIL SHE CAME TO A MAJOR STATE ROAD WITH LOTS OF SPEEDING CARS. SHE HAD TO MAKE A DECISION EITHER TO TRY TO MERGE ONTO THE ROAD OR PLOW INTO THE MOUNTAIN. SHE PLOWED INTO THE MOUNTAIN AND CAME TO A STOP WHERE SHE HIT A STOP SIGN AT THE END OF THE ROAD INCHES FROM THE ONGOING TRAFFIC. BOTH OF HER FEET WERE ON THE BRAKES THE ENTIRE TIME. THE VEHICLE FLIPPED ON ITS SIDE AND THE ENGINE WAS STILL ROARING. *JB

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
HELLO, I BOUGHT A 2006 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT IN ROMANIA KJ / LE85 (THE LIBERTY 4X4 JEEP FOR EUROPE), FROM CASA AUTO ROMANIA: / 7 FEBRUARY 2007. MY TECHNICAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR, STILL IN WARRANTY (2 YEARS WARRANTY IN ROMANIA) ARE: -THE ESP/BAS WARNING LAMP COMES ON CONTINUOUSLY WITH ENGINE RUNNING, THE LIGHT REMAINS ON AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 30MPS. FIRST, THIS PROBLEM WAS RANDOMLY APPEARING, BUT NOW IT APPEARS EACH TIME I AM DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WITH SPEEDS GREATER THAN 30 MILES/H . -2 TIMES MY ENGINE LOST POWER FOR NO REASON; -THE FUEL CONSUMPTION URBAN: CA 17 L / 100 KM; -THE FUEL CONSUMPTION EXTRA URBAN: CA 12 / /100 KM. MY CAR IS FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THE SERVICE IN THE LAST 6 WEEKS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM ? ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, THE PRIMARY SAFETY SYSTEM OF THIS VEHICLE. FIRST TIME, AFTER 3 WEEKS THEY SAID THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM. I BROUGHT IT BACK NEXT DAY WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. MY CAR IS STILL IN SERVICE. MY GREAT PROBLEM IS THAT MY AUTHORIZED DEALER IS UNABLE OR DON'T WANT TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS, WAITING TO EXPIRE THE WARRANTY OF MY CAR ? IN FEW DAYS. THEY DON?T WANT TO OFFER WARRANTY FOR THE PIECES THEY REPLACED, THEY SAY THE WARRANTY OF THIS PIECES REPLACED EXPIRES WITH THE WARRANTY OF THE CAR. I'M AFRAID THIS PROBLEM IS UNSOLVABLE FOR CHRYSLER LLC, AND MY CAR IS AN UNSAFE CAR. ALSO, I WANT YOU TO HELP ME WITH THE SERIAL NUMBER OF THE COMPONENTS OF MY CAR: WIND SCREEN, BATTERY, PISTONS,?. I FOUND THIS LINKS ON INTERNET WITH 2006 LIBERTY JEEP OWNERS WITH THE SAME UNSOLVABLE PROBLEM.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WOULD WARM UP, THE VEHICLE MADE A CLINGING SOUND THAT APPEARED TO ORIGINATE FROM THE BLOWER. WITHIN THREE DAYS, THE SOUND WORSENED AND THE STEERING BECAME STIFF. THE VEHICLE WOULD VEER TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT AND WAS SEVERELY OUT OF ALIGNMENT. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT BOTH OF THE WHEEL BEARINGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT IT WAS VERY UNCOMMON FOR BOTH WHEEL BEARINGS TO BECOME DEFECTIVE. IT WAS ASSUMED THAT THE WHEEL BEARINGS WERE ORIGINALLY DEFECTIVE. THE WHEEL BEARINGS WERE REPLACED BY THE DEALER, BUT SHE BELIEVES THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED.

2006 JEEP LIBERTY WINDOW FELL DOWN WITHOUT HAVING ANY REASON. I HAVE READ ON THIS WEBSITE THAT AN INVESTIGATION DOES NOT NEED A SPECIFIC NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS TO START. I AM JUST WONDERING WHY A PART THAT COST FROM 350-600 TO REPLACE AND HAS A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS DOES NOT HAVE AN INVESTIGATION. THIS TO ME SEEMS LIKE A ONE WAY FOR THE CHRYSLER DEALER DECIDED TO START TO MAKE MONEY. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD ALL FOUR WINDOW REGULATORS REPLACED IN THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF AND NOW THE DRIVER SIDE IS DOWN AGAIN. WHEN WILL THE MANUFACTURE OR SAFERCAR GOING TO STEP TO THE PLATE AND DO WHAT THEY SAY THEY WILL DO? *TR
