FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY 2006. EVERY TIME I PUT FUEL IN IT, IT OVERFLOWS. IT IS NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUTTING.OFF THEREFORE SPILLING OVER AND GETTING ALL OVER THE CAR OR ME. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I TRIED FILLING UP AT A FEW DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND IT IS THE SAMERTHNG. ON THE INTERNET IT IS SHOWING MANY PEOPLE HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THIS WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL? I AM AFRAID SOMEONE WILL THROW A CIGARETTE OUT THEIR WINDOW AND I WILL BLOW UP. I WIPE IT.UP EACH TIME.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM:HEATER CORE
THE HEATER CORE ON THE LIBERTY BECAME PARTIALLY BLOCKED. THE HEATER CORE IS NOT SERPENTINE IN DESIGN. INSTEAD, IT HAS A SERIES OF PIPES THAT CONNECT THE TANKS ON BOTH ENDS. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE BOTTOM OF THE HEATER CORE PLUGS UP. WATER CAN STILL PASS THROUGH THE UPPER PIPES, HOWEVER. SO THE TOP HALF OF THE HEATER CORE GETS HOT AND THE BOTTOM HALF DOES NOT. THE HAZARD HERE IS THAT THE WAY THE HEATER CORE IS POSITIONED IN THE AIR BOX, THE AIR THAT BLOWS OVER THE TOP HALF GOES TO THE PASSENGER SIDE. SO THE AIR THAT GOES TO THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE CAR IS THE AIR THAT BLEW OVER THE COLD, BOTTOM HALF OF THE HEATER CORE. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD CAN'T BE DEFOGGED/DEFROSTED AND IF YOU ARE DRIVING ALONG AND A SNOW EVENT STARTS, YOU CAN QUICKLY LOSE VISIBILITY. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM, AND I'VE BEEN ABLE TO GET A LITTLE BIT OF HEAT BACK BY DOING A STANDARD COOLANT FLUSH. I'VE HAD TO FLUSH IT TWICE A YEAR EVERY YEAR, HOWEVER, SINCE RIGHT ABOUT THE TIME THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. ACCORDING TO THE OWNERS MANUAL, IT SHOULDN'T NEED FLUSHED ANYWHERE NEAR THIS OFTEN. AND THE COOLANT IS USUALLY PRETTY RUSTY WHEN I FLUSH IT. A QUICK SCAN OF THE INTERNET TELLS ME THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON HAVING THIS HEATER CORE PLUG PROBLEM AND AFTER TALKING TO MY LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP I'VE DISCOVERED THIS PROBLEM IS FAIRLY COMMON. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. APX 50K MILES THE WATER PUMP BLEW. HAD IT REPLACED - THEN APX 75K MILES I EXPERIENCED JUMP STARTS - TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO WAS ONLY DOING OIL CHANGES THAT DAY. TOOK IT TO AAA REPAIR CENTER - THEY DID A PRESSURE TEST - FOUND NOTHING WRONG. EXPERIENCED THE JUMP AGAIN - TOOK IT TO A FIRESTONE MECHANIC WHO DID A PRESSURE TEST AND "FOUND NOTHING WRONG". THE JEEP WOULD NOT START ON THANKSGIVING - HAD IT TOWED TO THE AAA CENTER WHERE I EXPLAINED WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE HEAD HAD BLOWN AND WAS NOW WARPED & CAMSHAFT BROKEN AT CONSIDERABLE COST, THEY FIXED IT, BUT NOW I HAVE A P0340 CODE (CAMSHAFT SENSOR). I LET THE VEHICLE SIT OVERNIGHT. IT SEEMED TO START FINE. AFTER 40 MILES OF HIGHWAY DRIVING THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON BRIEFLY, BEFORE SHUTTING OFF. *TR

ENGINE
THE ENGINE OF THIS VEHICLE DIED WITHOUT WARNING. IT'S COMPUTER NEVER PICKED IT UP, OR GAVE ME A WARNING THAT ANYTHING WAS GOING BAD. IT WAS NOT MAKING ANY BAD SOUNDS OR LOOSE SOUNDS OF ANYTHING. THE VEHICLE SIMPLY DIED IN ME WHEN I ACCELERATED GOING UP A HILL, IMAGINE THE HORROR THAT WAS HAVING VEHICLE ALSO ACCELERATING BEHIND ME. I'VE BEEN HEARING THE SAME COMPLAINTS FROM THOUSANDS OF JEEP LIBERTY USERS AND THIS IS DANGEROUS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY'RE REFUSING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S LIFE-THREATENING AND COULD LEAD TO A FATAL CRASH.

MY SON NOTICED THE REAR DRIVERS TIRE NOT FEELING GOOD AS HE TRAVELED ON I-80 OUTSIDE OF LINCOLN, NE. HE STARTED LOOSING CONTROL AND EVENTUALLY LOST CONTROL, THE CAR ROLLED SEVERAL TIMES AND CAME TO REST UPSIDE DOWN. HE WAS STILL BUCKLED IN THE SEAT. AFTER LOOKING OVER THE CAR, THE REAR TIRES WERE BROKEN OFF THE CAR. THE LUG NUTS STILL ATTACHED TO THE TIRE. HE THINKS THE DRIVERS REAR TIRE CAME OFF FIRST AND THAT WAS WHAT STARTED THE CAR OUT OF CONTROL. THE OTHER REAR TIRE WAS ALSO OFF AFTER HE CAME TO REST SO HE IS NOT SURE WHEN THAT CAME OFF DURING THE CRASH. THE CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS. GEICO IS INVESTIGATING THE CAR TO SEE IF THEY CAN DETERMINE WHAT TOOK PLACE. THIS JUST HAPPENED ON 12/16/2016.

I PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY AND THE AND MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. MY BALL JOINT BROKE OFF AND MY TIRE FELL OFF MY CAR. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THE BALL JOINT HAD RUSTED WHICH CAUSED IT TO BREAK. HE INSPECTED THE OTHER FRONT WHEEL AND SAID IT IS IN THE SAME CONDITION AND IS READY TO BREAK. I TALKED TO CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THEY HAD A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM WHICH WAS CALLED A F-23 BUT MY CAR WAS 23 DAYS OUTSIDE OF THIS RECALL DATE AND THEY WOULD NOT HELP ME. I LIFE IN FLORIDA, SO WHY ARE THESE BALL JOINTS RUSTING AWAY. THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY INSTEAD OF MY DRIVEWAY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHER JEEP OWNERS. [XXX]. I WILL BE GETTING THE BAD PARTS FROM MY MECHANIC WHEN THE REPAIRS ARE COMPLETED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
