FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THERE IS A SLIGHT FUEL SYSTEM LEAK THAT ALLOWS AN AIR POCKET TO BUILD IN THE FUEL FILTER HOUSING. WHEN THIS AIR POCKET GETS DRAWN INTO THE INJECTOR PUMP, THE ENGINE BEGINS RUNNING BADLY, CAUSING IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER. THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES, THE FIRST TIME THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, SO THERE WAS NO POINT IN RETURNING TO WASTE MY TIME AFTER THAT. I KNOW HOW TO TEMPORARILY FIX THE PROBLEM NOW THAT I HAVE READ SO MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING, AS NOTED IN THE LOST INTERNET FORUM. THE LATEST OCCURRENCE HAPPENED AT 65 MPH PASSING ON THE FREEWAY, AND I NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT TRYING TO MANEUVER OFF THE ROAD WHEN I LOST POWER. *TR

1. I PURCHASED MY JEEP LIBERTY CRD NEW IN SEP 2006. I NOTICED COMING HOME FROM WORK TODAY THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE THE REAR WINDOW DRIVER SIDE WAS SLIGHTLY OPEN SO I TRIED TO CLOSE IT AND HEARD A GRATING NOISE SO I STOPPED PUSHING THE BUTTON. DROVE HOME. GOT OUT AND LOOKED. SAW IT WAS DOWN ABOUT AN INCH. TRIED TO RAISE IT. SAME NOISE. USED MY HANDS AND PUSHED IT UP. KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG. GOT THE HUSBAND. HE PULLED OFF THE PANEL... WE SAW THE ORANGE REGULATOR CORD WAS NOT ATTACHED. THEN DISCOVERED IT WAS NOT SCREWED IN TO THE MOTOR ON THE OTHER END. BROKEN PLASTIC. ODOMETER READING 36150. PRICELESS. 2. THIS IS THE FIRST I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM. I LIVE IN COLORADO AND NO ONE EVEN SITS IN THE REAR SEAT. YES IT GETS HOT. BUT I HAD A 1994 FORD EXPLORE WITH OVER 200K THAT I SIGNED OVER TO MY DAUGHTER WHEN SHE GRADUATED AND THE WINDOWS NEVER DIED.... 3. APPEARS SINCE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AT 36150 I WILL NEED TO CONTACT THE DEALER AND PAY $375 TO REPLACE THE REGULATOR THAT IS WELL DOCUMENTED AS NONFUNCTIONAL. *TR

BAD WINDOW REGULATORS, ALWAYS BREAKING. ALL MY WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, AND NOW I'M WORKING ON THE 2ND ROUND, AND SOME WINDOWS HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE ALREADY IN 2 YEARS. *TR THE PROBLEM IS IT LEAVES THE CAR VUNERABLE FOR LEFT OR EVEN DAMAGE (DEPENDING ON THE WEATHER) PLUS IT'S NOT SAFE, IF YOU HAVE SMALL CHILDREN IN THE BACK AND THE WINDOW STARTS TO FALL DOWN WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
READ INFO ONLINE ON WWW.LOSTKJS.COM ABOUT ISSUES WITH THE FUEL FILTER HOUSING AND FUEL HEATER PUCK WIRE ON MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY CRD (DIESEL). I CHECKED MINE AND NOTICED DIESEL FUEL ON THE WIRING AND BURN MARKS ON THE WIRE CONNECTOR. THIS SEEMS LIKE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. DUE TO THE FUEL LEAKAGE AND SCORCHING OF WIRING I WILL HAVE TO GET BOTH THE FUEL FILTER HOUSING AND PLUG REPLACED. BASED UPON THE NUMBER OF ISSUES I HAVE READ ABOUT THIS SEEMS LIKE A DESIGN FLAW THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I HAD TO REPLACE REAR BRAKES AFTER JUST 12,000 MILES ON MY BRAND NEW 06 JEEP LIBERTY. THOSE BRAKES SHOULD LAST AT LEAST 80,000 MILES. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY BRAKES, SO THEY INSTALLED BACK THE OLD CALIPERS AND THE OLD ROTORS. THEY HAVE REPLACED JUST THE BRAKE PADS, BUT NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THEY CONSIDER THAT "A NORMAL WEAR". THERE IS A MECHANICAL PROBLEM THAT WEARS THE REAR BRAKES THAT FAST AND THE DEALER DOES NOT WANT TO FIX IT. THANK YOU! *TR

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
FROM THE FIRST DAY THAT I BOUGHT THE 2006 JEEP LIBERTY, THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW "FELL" OFF THE TRACK, REQUIRING ME TO MANUALLY PUSH THE WINDOW BACK INTO PLACE BEFORE THE WINDOW WOULD CLOSE CORRECTLY. IN ADDITION, A FEW MONTHS INTO OWNING THE JEEP, A PIECE OF RUBBER FELL OFF OF THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR/WINDOW AREA. DURING A RECALL REPAIR, I ADVISED THE DEALER OF THE BROKEN WINDOW AND THE PIECE OF RUBBER THAT HAD FALLEN FROM THE VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH THE WINDOW WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED AND THE RUBBER PIECE PUT BACK ON THE VEHICLE, THE WINDOW AGAIN BEGAN TO FALL OFF THE TRACK WITHIN A WEEK OF THE REPAIR. THE RUBBER PIECE ALSO FELL OFF FROM THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR/WINDOW AGAIN, ALSO WITHIN WEEKS OF THE REPAIR. *TR
