2004 Jeep Liberty complaints

VEHICLE INDICATED THAT PASSENGER FRONT DOOR WAS AJAR, THIS AFTER TEN MINUTES OF DRIVING. DOOR WAS IN FACT NOT AJAR. PASSENGER OPENED AND CLOSED DOOR JUST TO CHECK, DOOR THEN WOULD NO LONGER FULLY CLOSE. PULLED MANUAL LOCK TO SEE IF IT WAS STUCK, WHOLE PIECE CAME OUT. SMOKE STARTED POURING OUT OF HOLE AND DOOR METAL WAS VERY HOT TO THE TOUCH. REMOVED DOOR PANEL TO PUT OUT FIRE INSIDE. LOCK ACTUATOR MOTOR MELTED DOWN AND PARTS WERE SMOLDERING. DURING THIS PROCESS THE ELECTRONIC BACK GLASS POPPED OPEN AS WELL AND WILL NO LONGER LATCH EITHER. CHRYSLER RECALLED SOME 2004 LIBERTY'S FOR THESE MOTORS OVERHEATING AND SEIZING, WAS INFORMED THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED AND THAT WE SHOULD HAVE 'MAINTAINED THE WIRING IN THE DOOR'. THIS VEHICLE IS METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED! *TR

FOR APPROXIMATELY 1YR, THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY JEEP LIBERTY SPORT 2004 HAVE BEEN FLICKERING ON AND OFF. IT USE TO HAPPEN ONLY ONCE AND AWHILE AND THEY WOULD GO RIGHT BACK ON AND THEN STAY ON. HOWEVER RECENTLY I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DRIVE MY JEEP AT NIGHT BECAUSE THE HEADLIGHTS CONSTANTLY GO ON AND OFF ON ME AND SOMETIMES STAY OFF. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY HEADLIGHTS BEGAN TO TURN ON AND OFF BY THEMSELVES. I HEAR THE CLICK CLICK LIKE THEY ARE BEING TURNED ON OR OFF BUT IT IS HAPPENING ON IT'S OWN. THIS HAS NO HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND CURRENTLY I CAN NOT DRIVE IT AT NIGHT OR DURING BAD WEATHER. IT HAPPENS IN RAPIDLY THE CARS AROUND THINK I AM FLASHING LIGHTS AT THEM. VERY DANGEROUS! *TR

HEADLIGHTS GO OFF THEN BACK ON WITH A CLICKING SOUND UNDER DASH. PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. CHRYSLER CASE # [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WINDOW FALLS INTO DOOR & CANNOT BE CLOSED. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES ON DIFFERENT WINDOWS. *TR

FOR THE LAST YEAR OR SO WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE JEEP SWAYING EVERYTIME WE ACCELERATE AND DECELERATE. THIS WAS BECOMING A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND TOOK THE JEEP TO MY MECHANIC AFTER RESEARCHING ON GOOGLE AND FINDING OTHER JEEP OWNERS REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE. MY MECHANIC REPORTED THAT HE HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR SUSPENSION LOWER CONTROL ARM WHICH FIXED THE PROBLEM. I HAD THIS WORK DONE IN APRIL 2012 AND HAVE SINCE SEEN THAT A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM (NHTSA ACTION NUMBER EA11013) BUT THE RECALL DOES NOT INCLUDE JEEPS MANUFACTURED IN TEXAS SINCE IT IS EXPLAINED THAT THE CAUSE IS CORROSION DUE TO APPLICATION OF ROAD SALTS DURING WINTER WEATHER CONDITIONS. I BELIEVE THIS NEEDS FURTHER INVESTIGATION OF THE POTENTIAL CAUSES AND NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO TEXAS AND POSSIBLY OTHER STATES AS WELL. I PERSONALLY WOULD LIKE CHRYSLER TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND BELIEVE THAT I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR MY EXPENSES WHICH WERE QUITE SUBSTANTIAL. *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS WILL CUT OFF RANDOMLY WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. IT HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS. THERE IS A "CLICKING" SOUND WHEN THEY CUT OFF AND THEN BACK ON. IT SEEMS TO STOP IT WHEN I MANUALLY CUT THE HEADLIGHTS OFF AND BACK ON. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES WHEN I DRIVING ON A FREEWAY AND ALSO ON LOCAL STREETS. *TR

REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW SLIPPED DOWN INSIDE THE DOOR. UNABLE TO SECURE THE VEHICLE. ON 07/01/2012 FRONT DRIVER SIDE WINDOW SLIPPED DOWN INSIDE THE DOOR. AGAIN, VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND UNSECURED.

UPON INSPECTION IT WAS NOTED THAT THE LOWER BALL JOINTS WERE VERY LOOSE AND THIS JEEP HAS ONLY 18400 MILES ON IT.
