2004 Jeep Liberty complaints

ON MY 2004 JEEP LIBERTY I HAVE HAD THE LOWER FRONT BALL JOINTS REPLACE A FEW YEARS BACK BY THE F23 RECALL. THIS WEEK AS I WAS REPLACING UPPER CONTROL ARMS, WHICH COME PRE ASSEMBLED WITH THE BALL JOINT, I NOTICED THE BOOTS FOR THE LOWER BALL JOINTS WERE AGAIN DAMAGED. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THERE IS A LOUD NOISE WHEN GOING OVER UNSMOOTH SURFACE ROADS, ETC. I AM THINKING THIS COULD BE CAUSED BY THE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARM. NOW I'M NOT A PROFESSIONAL MECHANIC, BUT COMMON SENSE TELLS ME THAT THE ENGINEERING ON THE SUSPENSION HAS BEEN COMPROMISED. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER, WHO TOLD ME TO CONTACT A DEALER, WHO TOLD ME THEY WOULD GET BACK TO ME ON THIS PROBLEM. I ALSO EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE WINDOW REGULATOR PROBLEMS, ALONG WITH RECALLS ON THE AIR BAGS SYSTEM AS WELL AS GAS TANK PROTECTION RECALLS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2004 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE AND BURST INTO FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A LOT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 06V288000 (SUSPENSION) AND 13V252000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, STRUCTURE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK MY ENGINE JUST QUIT AS I WAS SHIFTING FROM 4TH TO 5TH GEAR. I COASTED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND SAW SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. WHEN I LIFTED THE HOOD, THERE WERE FLAMES SHOOTING UP FROM EVERYWHERE! THE BIGGEST FLAMES WERE NEAR THE SIDE OF THE BATTERY, BUT NOT ON THE BATTERY SO I SHUT THE HOOD AND MOVED AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. WITHIN THE 5 MINUTES IT TOOK THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO ARRIVE, IT WAS COMPLETELY BURNED UP, INCLUDING THE FRONT PANEL INSIDE THE JEEP. ANY PART OF THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE THAT WAS NOT METAL, WAS GONE... BURNT!! AS OF THIS TIME, IT IS STILL UNKNOWN TO ME WHAT CAUSED THE FIRE BUT CHRYSLER SENT AN INVESTIGATOR OUT TO VIEW THE VEHICLE AND SENT ME A LETTER STATING THEY WOULD NOT BE DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I BELIEVE IT WAS A WIRING PROBLEM AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANYONE WORK ON ANY OF THE WIRING SINCE I PURCHASED THE JEEP IN 2010. I HAVE NO INVOICES TO SHOW REPAIRS( AS VEHICLE IS TOTALED BEYOND REPAIR), INSURANCE( IT DID NOT COVER A NON COLLISION FIRE) OR ETC... JUST PICTURES AND A FIRE REPORT, IF YOU WANT THOSE.

SOMETHING LOOSE AND SMOKING UNDER MY SUV, TOLD HAS TO DO WITH FRONT END SUSPENSION , THE 2 FRONT TIRES SHAKES ,DRIVING OVER RAILROAD TRACKS, SPEED BUMPS ETC. CAUSES MY FRONT TO LOOK LOWER DOWN TO THE GROUND. THE R R SIDE ALONG WITH BACK TIRE SENSOR SAYING PREFORM SERVICE. MY FRONT END SUSPENSION VIBRATES AND SHAKE LIKE ITS COMING APART, ALONG WITH TIRE SENSOR FLASHING.DRIVING CITY NEIGHBORHOODS WITH HIGH SPEED BUMPS CAUSES THE SUSPENSION TO FEEL AS IF IT COMING OFF VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE AND ALMOST WRECKED AT ONLY 20 MPH. VEHICLE WAS UNCONTROLLABLE DRIVING AND WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED CAUSED VEHICLE TO SWERVE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. HAD VEHICLE TOWED AND CHECKED BY DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP. FOUND THAT THE LOWER CONTROL ARM HAD RUSTED THROUGH AND BROKEN. FOUND RECALL ON NHTSA WEBSITE FOR 04-05 JEEP LIBERTIES FOR SAID PROBLEM. HOWEVER THIS VEHICLE WAS SOLD OUT OF OLATHE KS TO A KC MISSOURI RESIDENT AND THE KANSAS DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF RECALL BECAUSE KS WAS NOT ON THE LIST MO WAS. MANY MO RESIDENTS IN KANSAS CITY MO BUY PRODUCTS IN KANSAS CITY KS THEREFORE A COMPLETE OVERSIGHT BY CHRYSLER JEEP HAS CREATED WHAT I THINK IS A SERIOUS CONCERN.

THE WINDOW REGULATOR CLIP HAS BROKEN ON THE REAR WINDOWS AT LEAST SIX TIMES. THERE IS A PLASTIC CLIP THAT EVIDENTLY GETS BRITTLE AND BREAKS. THIS CLIP SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE OF A STRONGER MATERIAL. THIS KEEPS HAPPENING ON WINDOWS THAT WE NEVER EVEN USE. SO, IT IS NOT FROM WEAR AND TEAR. JEEP COVERED THE COST SIX TIMES, BUT WILL NOT COVER IT AGAIN. IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX.

FRONT PASSENGER SIDE, LOWER BALL JOINT HAS FAILED (AGAIN) EVEN AFTER REPLACED BY RECALL # 06V288000... TAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ON A CITY STREET AND IT BLEW OUT, THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER INTO A BUS STOP. DEALERSHIP IS REFUSING TO COVER THEM UNDER WARRANTY. NHTSA ACTION NUMBER :EA06008

AUGUST 1, 2015 THE LEFT REAR PASSENGER WINDOW DROPPED AND THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. IN THE SAME MONTH MY JEEP STARTED TO SLIGHTLY FISHTAIL AS IF DRIVING IN VERY STRONG/ HIGH WINDS. LASTLY ON NOVEMBER 28, 2015 THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SIGN IS SHOWING " PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" WHEN IT WAS NEVER A ILLUMINATED BEFORE.

I WAS IN ACCIDENT ON SEPT 27 AND THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY UNTIL THE VEHICLE STOPPED IT TOOK ABOUT 5MINS AFTER ACCIDENT THEN THERE WAS A SMELL LIKE RUBBER AND IT JUST WENT POOF DIDN'T MAKE CONTACT WITH MY FACE OR BODY. STATIONARY ON HWY 89 AND WAS FIRED FROM MY JOB FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO START THE NEXT DAY. I AM LEFT HANDED AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONTACT YA'LL THANK YOU *TR

MY REMOTE FAILED TO LOCK OR UNLOCK THE DOORS, AND LIFTGATE DOOR. THE DOORS HAD TO BE LOCKED MANUALLY. THE LIFTGATE WINDOW WOULD NOT CLOSE AT ALL. REMOTE BATTERIES WERE REPLACED . HOWEVER, IT STILL WOULD NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK THE DOORS AND LIFTGATE. WHEN I PRESSED THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE REMOTE, THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS CAME ON.

MY PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW HAS FALLEN DOWN AND IT WILL COST ABOUT $400 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING THIS IS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE WINDOW REGULATOR. I HAVE READ THAT CHRYSLER USED A CHEAP PLASTIC CLIP IN ITS ASSEMBLY. THIS IS THE 2ND WINDOW THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. IN SEARCHING THE INTERNET THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM, MOST OF THE PROBLEMS ARE IN THE 2004 MODEL. JEEP REALLY SHOULD DO A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. I ONLY HAVE 36,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE AND THESE PROBLEMS SHOULD BE PAID FOR BY JEEP CHRYSLER. I WAS DRIVING TO THE STORE THE OTHER DAY IN POURING DOWN RAIN WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE WINDOW DROPPED DOWN. I STOPPED MY CAR AND TRIED TO PULL IT UP, BUT IF FELL DOWN TOO FAR. THE INSIDE OF MY CAR GOT VERY WET BECAUSE OF THIS AND I HAD TO RETURN HOME. I THEN TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. IT IS STILL THERE, SO I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A CAR FOR 4 DAYS. AS I HAVE SAID THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER JEEP WON'T DO A THING ABOUT IT FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS.

MY 2004 JEEP LIBERTY WAS A RECALL WHICH I TOOK TO CHRYSLER FOR TO GET REPAIR FOR FRONT AND BACK SUSPENSION AND REPAIR AND GASOLINE TANK APPARENTLY WHEN I GOT MY VEHICLE BACK OIL WAS LEAKING ALL OVER THE ENGINE I TOOK MY VEHICLE BACK 2 DAYS AGO TO BE TOLD THAT THE COULD NOT HELP ME THEIR WAS NO OIL LEAKING WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN THEY REFUSE TO ASSIST ME WITH THE PROBLEM CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME

THERE IS A RECALL ON MY CAR FOR THE GAS TANK BEING TOO CLOSE TO THE REAR BUMPER. I BROUGHT IT TO JEEP IN NELLISTON,N.Y. THEY INSTALL A TRAILER HITCH TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM.THEY WORKED ON IT FOR ONE HOUR, AND THEN TOLD ME THEY CAN'T INSTALL THE TRAILER HITCH,BECAUSE THEY BROKE A HOLE TAP OFF IN ONE OF THE MOUNTING HOLES, THIS IS NOT MY FAULT, THEY WILL NOT CORRECT MY RECALL, AND THEY WILL NOT EVEN CALL ME BACK, THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. SO THEY ARE NOT GOING TO HONOR THE RECALL ON MY CAR, AS FAR AS THEY ARE CONCERNED, I CAN JUST GO AHEAD AND BURN UP IN MY CAR, IF I GET REAR ENDED,

WHILE DRIVING, THE SUNROOF MOTOR ASSEMBLY SUFFERED A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE WHILE CLOSING. THE PLASTIC RAIL ASSEMBLY MADE A LOUD CRACKING SOUND AND THE GLASS WEDGED FIRMLY AGAINST THE ROOF, HALF OPEN. THIS OCCURED SHORTLY AFTER MY REPLACING ALL 4 DOOR WINDOW REGULATORS (FOR THE SECOND TIME) DUE TO WHAT CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS NEGLIGENCE IN THE ENGINEERING DESIGN OF THE PLASTIC CARRIER ASSEMBLY THAT CANNOT SUPPORT THE LOAD OF THE WINDOW AS IT IS INTENDED TO. THE FAILURE TO PROPERLY DESIGN THESE COMPONENTS HAS LED TO THE WINDOWS FALLING INTO THE DOOR UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING, EACH TIME CAUSING AN UNNERVING DISTRACTION TO ME AS A DRIVER, AND UNNECESSARILY ENDANGERED MYSELF AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC IN THE VICINITY WHEN THESE EVENTS OCCURRED. IT APPEARS THERE ARE COUNTLESS INSTANCES OF THIS ISSUE BEING DESCRIBED ON LINE, AND A RECALL NEEDS TO OCCUR.

THE WINDOW ACTUATOR CAME APART AND WRAPPED AROUND THE DOOR LATCH MECHANISM IN THE BACK WHERE MY TODDLER SETS, WE WERE UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. MY HUSBAND HAD TO TAKE THE DOOR PANEL APART FROM THE INSIDE AND CUT THE WIRE IN ORDER FOR THE DOOR TO BE OPENED. ALL OF MY WINDOW ACTUATORS HAVE STOPPED WORKING AND HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED.

I BOUGHT A GOODYEAR TIRE FOR MY JEEP LIBERTY AND THE TIRE FAILED AND UPON INSPECTION THERE WAS A TEAR ON THE SIDE WALL OF THE TIRE WHICH WAS UNREPAIRABLE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED . THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE TIRE AND NOT FROM ROAD HAZARDS

I WAS DRIVING UP THE STREET HEARD SOMETHING LIKE A RAN OVER SOMETHING THEN JEEP CUT OFF GOT OUT TO SEE IF I RAN OVER SOMETHING BUT NOTHING WAS THERE AND JEEP WOULD NOT START BACK UP, WHAT IF I HAD BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY OR BUSY TRAFFIC I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT, WHICH U AM BLESSED THAT DID NOT HAPPEN, THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS CHRYSLER SHOULD NOTAKE ANYTHING THAT COULD CAUSE YOU BODILY HARM. A COMPUTER SHOULD NEVER GO OUT THAT IS DANGEROUS. I HAD TO HAVE THE JEEP TOWED TO MY HOME AND THEN TO A SHIP ON TWO DIFFERENT TIMES AN ONE TIME BACK HOME FROM THE SHOP BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE 900.00 TO REPAIR. SO I'M STUCK WITHOUT HAVING MY JEEP REPAIRED BECAUSE I'M ON A FIXED INCOME. ALSO HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WHERE CHRYSLER DID POOR WIRING., CIGARETTE LIGHTER KEEP GOING OUT, BLINKER AND RADIO WIRING IS TERRIBLE AND ONE OF THE FRONT LIGHTS. CHRYSLER YOU GOT TO DO A BETTER JOB, BECAUSE I LOVED MY JEEP, BUT VERY DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE IT REPAIR.

ON TUESDAY, AUGUST 25, 2015, I WAS ON MY WAY TO A WORKSHOP FOR MY JOB ON ROUTE 73 IN BERLIN, NEW JERSEY. I HAD STOPPED AT A LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PROCEEDED TO GO. THE CAR STALLED OUT ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD BLINKED ON AND OFF AND THE CAR SHUT COMPLETELY OFF. THEN WHITE SMOKE CAME OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. SO AS I WAS SITTING CONTEMPLATING WHAT TO DO NEXT. I LOOKED UP AND THE DRIVER IN THE CAR NEXT TO ME STARTED YELLING THAT THERE WAS FIRE UNDERNEATH THE CAR. I IMMEDIATELY EXITED THE CAR AND CROSSED THE STREET ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. WHEN I REACHED THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET. PITCH BLACK SMOKE ALONG WITH RED FLAMES BILLOWED OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. AFIRE RESCUE TRUCK ARRIVE AND IMMEDIATELY USED A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO DOUSE THE FIRE. THEN, THE FIRE TRUCKS AND POLICE CAME TO FOLLOW UP. THE FIREMAN LIFT THE HOOD UP AND ALLOWED ME TO VIEW THE DAMAGE. THE BATTERY ALONG WITH OTHER ITEMS ON THE ENGINE WAS MELTED LIKE CANDLE WAX. THE CAR WAS TOWED AWAY, HOWEVER AS THE CAR WAS PLACED ON THE FLATBED OF THE TRUCK, MY TRUCK STARTED SMOKING AND FLAMES WERE SHOOTING FROM UNDER THE CAR. CAR HAS BEEN DECLARED TOTALED. THAT WAS A VERY SAD DAY FOR ME.

WINDOW REGULATOR HAS FAILED ON FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW AND MANY REPORTS THIS IS DUE TO A CHEAP PLASTIC ASSEMBLY THAT SUPPORTS THE GLASS INSTEAD OF METAL.IT IS THE MANUFACTURES FAULT AS THIS FAILS FOR NO REASON.MY WINDOW WAS TILTED WHEN I GOT IN IT THIS MORNING,NO VANDALISM ,NOR STORMS.IT MAKE A WHIRRING NOISE WHEN USING THE UP BUTTON AND WENT STRAIGHT WITH THE CABLE FROM THE REGULATOR SNAKING UP THE SIDE OF THE DOOR.IT IS UP NOW BUT WITH ALL THE INFO FOUND FEELING I SHOULD NOT PAY FOR IT AND THE ISSUE JUST REPEATS ITSELF AFTER REPLACEMENT BECAUSE OF INADEQUATE EQUIPMENT. PLEASE HELP ME AND SO MANY OTHERS HAVING THE SAME EXPERIENCE. I CAN SEE HOW THIS WOULD BE CONSIDERED A DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY.
