SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
WHEN CHANGING BRAKE PADS, I NOTICED A BUBBLE ON THE SIDE OF THE BRAKE LINE. ALL 4 BRAKE LINES WERE INVOLVED. THE BUBBLE WAS ON THE RUBBER PORTION OF THE LINE CLOSE TO THE CALIPER. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE LINES REPLACED. THEIR INSPECTION IDENTIFIED A FIFTH LINE WITH A RUPTURE ALSO. ALL WERE REPLACED. SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY COMPONENT I ASKED IF JEEP WAS REPLACING THE PARTS AND WAS INFORMED IT WAS NOT COVERED BY THEM OR MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. THIS VEHICLE IS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY AND HAD 48,870 MILES AT THE TIME. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
THIS IS MY THIRD COMPLAINT FOR THE SAME ON -GOING PROBLEM. THE ABS/BAS, ESP LAMP WILL COME ON WHEN GOING 45-50 MPH OR MEDIUM ACCELERATION. AT VARIOUS TIME THE ENGINE WILL LOSE POWER.

I'VE WRITTEN CHRYSLER/JEEP WITH NOT HELP OR ASSISTANCE. VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THIS IS MY SECOND TIME IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. MY LAST COMPLAINT WAS THE ABS/BAS, ESP LAMP COMING ON. MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 1-1/2 WEEKS. THE DEALER SAYS THE CODES ARE STORED, BUT THEY MUST BE ACTIVE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. THE DAY AFTER PICKING UP MY JEEP LIBERTY, I WAS DRIVING ON THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AT 45-50 MPH, THE SAME LAMPS CAME ON. NOW I AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR FEAR OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 24,888. I RECENTLY WROTE TO CHRYSLER TO COMPLAIN. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY IN FIRST GEAR, IT ROLLED BACKWARDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, BUT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. RECENTLY, THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN FIRST GEAR AND WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED.

THE VEHICLE WILL BE TAKEN TO A COLLISION CENTER FOR REPAIRS. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 24,010.

I PURCHASED MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY IN JANUARY 2007. A FEW MONTHS LATER 3 OF THE AUTOMATIC WINDOWS WOULD NOT WORK. DEALER REPLACED THE ACTUATOR FOR FREE. SINCE THEN 2 MY WINDOWS HAVE BEEN STUCK GOING UP LIKE THEY ARE OFF TRACK. DRIVER SIDE FRONT AND BACK WINDOW NEED TO HAVE ACTUATOR REPLACED AGAIN. BACK DRIVER SIDE WINDOW FELL COMPLETELY DOWN AND WON'T ROLL UP. PASSENGER FRONT WINDOW HAS NEEDED NEW ACTUATOR BECAUSE IT SOMETIMES WON'T ROLL UP. I WILL BE FINALLY TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND HOPEFULLY GETTING THE ACTUATORS REPLACED FOR FREE SINCE THEY HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE THE ENTIRE TIME I HAVE OWNED THE CAR. THERE ARE LOTS OF LITTLE PIECES HERE AND THERE THAT FALL OFF THE CAR AND LITTLE THINGS THAT DON'T WORK. IT IS REALLY A VERY CHEAPLY MADE CAR. *TR

I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE WINDOW REGULATORS REPLACED ON ALL 4 WINDOWS, WITH THE LEFT REAR REPLACED TWICE. THE FIRST INSTANCE WAS AT 28,000 MILES, AND THE SECOND EPISODE OCCURRED AT 33,000 MILES. A FINAL INCIDENCE OCCURRED AT 42,000 MILES. I WAS TOLD THAT JEEP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT HAPPENS IN HOT AREAS (LIKE THE DESERT). I WAS TOLD TO LEAVE MY WINDOWS CRACKED OPEN SO AS TO PREVENT THE BUILD-UP OF HEAT. THESE EVENTS HAPPEN AS I DRIVE, AND IN ONE CASE, IT HAPPENED THAT THE WINDOW CAME DOWN WHILE MY WIFE WAS AT WORK, AND SHE FOUND IT AFTER A FULL DAY. THIS CREATED A BIG SECURITY ISSUE AS THE CAR COULD HAVE BEEN VANDALIZED OR STOLEN. *TR

NOT MORE THAN 10 MINUTE LATER, THE LEFT REAR WINDOW BROKE, EXACTLY AS THEY ALL HAVE DONE. SO, THIS IS THE 7TH TIME EACH OF 4 WINDOW MECHANISMS IN THIS JEEP HAVE FAILED. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY CRD. THE EGR FAILED AT 17K MILES. IT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. IT FAILED AGAIN AT 52K MILES, I PAID FOR THAT REPLACEMENT. NOW THE ENGINE IS PLUGGED WITH CARBON FROM THE EGR SYSTEM. EACH TIME THERE IS A FAILURE OF THE EGR, IT WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE THE ENGINE TO SUDDENLY "LOOSE POWER" AND RUN AS IF IN A "LIMP" MODE EVEN THOUGHT THE OBD DIAGNOSTICS FAIL TO ACKNOWLEDGE SUCH. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT CHRYSLER WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE. IT CAUSES AIR POLLUTION AND A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE ABILITY TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE NORMALLY IS GREATLY HINDERED WITHOUT WARNING. CONSUMER IS ASKED TO PAY $2,300.00 FOR A TEMPORARY REPAIR FOR THE FACTORY'S POOR DESIGN. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
WHEN I PARKED MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY AND ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE KEY AND PULL IT OUT OF THE IGNITION, THE KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT. IT WOULD GO NO FURTHER THAN THE LOCK POSITION. IT APPEARS THAT THE SHIFTING CABLE THAT READS WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK AND ENABLES ONE TO REMOVE THE KEY HAD FAILED AND WAS NOT READING THAT MY CAR WAS ACTUALLY IN PARK. I HAD TO PRESS THE CABLE DOWN IN ORDER TO REMOVE MY KEY. I DID A GOOGLE SEARCH FOR THE PROBLEM AND IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE 2004-2006 JEEP LIBERTY. NOW MY SHIFTER DOES NOT STOP BETWEEN GEARS, IT SIMPLY SLIDES THROUGH THEM WITHOUT HAVING TO PRESS THE BUTTON THAT WOULD NORMALLY LOCK THEM IN PLACE. I CAN SHIFT FROM REVERSE TO PARK WITHOUT PRESSING THE BREAK AND WITHOUT PUSHING THE BUTTON. IN ORDER TO PULL MY KEY OUT I HAVE TO TAKE THE COVER OFF AND PRESS DOWN ON THE CABLE. NOW THAT I NOTICED IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH OTHER JEEP LIBERTY'S, I THINK A RECALL IS IN ORDER. *TR
