2005 Jeep Liberty complaints

STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHEN VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED FORWARD HITTING A VEHICLE IN THE FRONT CAUSING A CRASH. NO OTHER KNOWN INSTANCE BEFORE THIS AND NO INJURIES. *TR

WHEN I FILL THE GAS TANK, I GET A BACK SPLASH OF GAS ONCE THE TANK IS FULL. CANNOT USE THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF ON THE GAS PUMP. I HAVE TO ESTIMATE AS CLOSE AS I CAN HOW MUCH GAS I CAN PUT INTO TANK. IF I OVER ESTIMATE, GAS BACK SPLASHES OUT AND SPILLS OUT ONTO PAVEMENT, ONTO ME AND VEHICLE. VERY CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY OF GAS TANK AND THE RISK OF GAS IGNITING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 3 MPH IN THE DRIVEWAY, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT AND THEN CRASHED INTO THE SIDE OF A BRICK HOUSE AND TWO OTHER PARKED VEHICLES. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A MINOR INJURY TO THE SHOULDER. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED OF THE INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,696.

MY JEEP LIBERTY 2005 HAS ALWAYS SINCE NEW SPLASHED GAS BACK FROM TANK WHEN FILLING UP. I DIDN'T KNOW OTHERS HAD THIS PROBLEM UNTIL I READ THIS COMPLAINT PAGE. IT DID IT NEW AND HAS CONTINUED TO SPLASH BACK ALOT OF GAS ONTO THE BODY OF THE CAR AND ON THE PAVEMENT IN FRONT OF GAS TANKS WHEN FILLING UP TANK AT ANY LOCATION. I TEND TO TRY TO STOP FILLING BEFORE FULL TO STOP THIS PROBLEM. WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS YOU SHOULD REQUIRE THIS PROBLEM BE REPAIRED. THIS IS DANGEROUS FOR ME AND OTHERS AT THE STATION IF JUST ONE PERSON COMES BY SMOKING. PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS MY FORMAL COMPLAINT IN CASE THERE IS EVER A DEATH OR SITUATION THAT THIS BECOME FATAL. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY WINDOW JUST DROPPED INTO THE DOOR. I WAS DRIVING MY FOSTER DOG TO ADOPTIONS. WHEN I PULLED OVER TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED HE JUMPED OUT IF THE OPEN WINDOW. SINCE THEN THE ONLY WINDOW THAT WORKS IS THE DRIVER SIDE. APPARENTLY THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE LIBERTY. I THANK GOD A CHILD WAS NOT IN THE SEAT WHEN THE WINDOW WENT DOWN. I HAVE INFORMED JEEP BUT THEY DO NOT CARE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 06V288000 (SUSPENSION: FRONT LOWER BALL JOINTS) AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR RECALL REPAIRS. THE DEALER REFUSED TO PERFORM THE RECALL SERVICE BECAUSE THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE UPPER BALL JOINTS WERE CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE WAS REPORTED TO THE MANUFACTURER, BUT THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR ADDITIONAL REPAIRS OUTSIDE OF THE RECALL. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 83,000.

I HAD TO HAVE TWO WINDOW REGULATORS REPAIRED. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD TO HAVE ALL THE WINDOW REGULATORS REPAIRED SOME OF THEM MULTIPLE TIMES FOR A TOTAL OF EIGHT. CURRENTLY I HAVE 2 MORE THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED. I HAD CUSTOMER CARE AT CHRYSLER DISCOUNT THE REPAIR OF TWO OF THEM THROUGH A COMPLAINT PROCEDURE AT JEEP IN JULY 2011. THEY REFUSE TO HELP ANY MORE BECAUSE OF THE PREVIOUS REPAIR WORK PROVIDED. *TR

WE HAD THIS JEEP FROM DAY ONE. WHEN YOU FILL THE TANK IT WORKED GREAT UNTIL ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. NOW WHEN YOU FILL THE THANK AT THE VERY END OF FUELING IT WILL KICK GAS ALL OVER THE OUT SIDE OF THE CAR AND IF YOU ARE STANDING NEAR IT YOU WILL BE COVERED. I HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT AND THEY SAY IT IS THE TANK AND THAT I WILL NEED A NEW GAS TANK. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND I THINK IT SHOULD BE REPLACED BY JEEP. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK THE FUEL SPEWS OUT AND DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF. THIS HAPPENS AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND STARTED HAPPENING AT APPROXIMATELY 50,000 MILES. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE FUEL SPEWS OUT OF THE TANK INSTEAD OF THE PUMP SHUTTING OFF. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL FILLING STATIONS AND DIFFERENT TYPES OF FUELING NOZZLES. THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND MY SHOES AND PANTS WERE COVERED IN GAS. THE GAS STATION BAY WAS ALSO COVERED IN GAS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. SINCE THE FUEL PUMP WARNS ABOUT "RE-ENTERING A CAR" OR "USING A CELL PHONE" AROUND A GAS PUMP; HOW DANGEROUS IS DRIVING WITH CLOTHING COVERED IN GAS, SIDE OF THE CAR COVERED IN GAS AND HOW DANGEROUS IS LEAVING A GAS PUDDLE AT THE STATION? CHRYSLER APPARENTLY IS REPLACING SOME TANKS OR PUTTING IN AN "EXTENSION" VALVE ON SOME CARS, BUT MINE IS NOT UNDER THEIR WARRANTY. THIS IS NOT ONLY A FIRE HAZARD, BUT A HEALTH ISSUE AS WELL! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDOW REGULATORS HAD FAILED IN EVERY WINDOW. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REGULATORS HAD TO BE REPLACED EIGHT TIMES. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER REPLACED THE WINDOW REGULATOR BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING THE REGULATOR. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO REGARDING THE REGULATOR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER REAR WINDOW FAILED TO CLOSE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT WILL NOT RETRACK BACK AND PASSENGERS CANNOT WEAR IT........I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE ON 8/2012 WITH 90,000 MILES ON IT! ITS A SAFETY ISSUE AND DEALERS WANT ALOT OF MONEY TO FIX IT..........I READ ON JEEP FORUMSCOMPLAINTS THAT MANY OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE........... PLEASE TELL ME I CAN GET IT FIXED ASAP WITHOUT COSTING ANY MONEY ...........ITS A SAFETY HAZARD! THANK YOU KINDLY. *TR ## VIN FAILED ##

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE AUTOMATIC PUMP SHUTOFF DOES NOT WORK CAUSING THE GASOLINE TO SHOOT OUT AND ALL OVER THE CAR AND MYSELF. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN AT JUST ONE GAS STATION, BUT AT ALL OF THEM AND HAS OCCURRED REPEATEDLY SINCE BUYING THE CAR LAST AUGUST. *TR

THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR BROKE DUE TO WEAR OF A PLASTIC COMPONENT. THE WINDOW SLIDES DOWN COMPLETELY AND CAUSES THE CAR TO BE OPEN TO THE ELEMENTS/THIEVES. THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR HAD THE SAME ISSUE THE PREVIOUS YEAR. *TR

FAILURE OF STEERING COLUMN ROD TO ACTUATE IGNITION SENSE SWITCH CAUSED VEHICLE NO START AND DRIVER STRANDED. ROD GOES BETWEEN KEY CYLINDER AND IGNITION SWITCH. KEY CAN STILL BE TURNED, BUT IF IGNITION SWITCH DOES NOT ACTUATE ENGINE DOES NOT START. THERE ARE NO DEALER SERVICEABLE COMPONENTS IN STEERING COLUMN. THIS LEADS TO THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN NEEDING REPLACEMENT FOR THE FAILURE OF A 3MM ALUMINUM CAST ROD. DEALER ESTIMATE OF $1200 FOR REPAIR. PICTURES ARE AVAILABLE. *TR

WHENEVER I FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION, THE GAS POURS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK BEFORE THE PUMP STOPS. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP, NO MATTER WHAT STATION I GO TO. I NOW HAVE TO STOP SHORT OF FILLING ALL THE WAY, OTHERWISE THE GAS SPILLS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK AND THE FUMES GET INTO THE INSIDE OF THE CABIN. *TR

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED, AND I HAD THE CODE RUN WHICH STATED THE PROBLEM BEING THE TORQUE CLUTCH CONVERTER (TCC) SOLENOID CIRCUIT. UPON RESEARCHING POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS AND COST FOR REPAIR, I NOTICED MANY OTHERS WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM APPEAR. SINCE NO RECALLS WERE AVAILABLE, I HAD THE TCC REPLACED AT THE RECOMMENDATION OF MY RESEARCH AND THE OPINION OF THE LOCAL SHOP WHO SAID THE PROBLEM WAS NOT ELECTRICAL. AT THIS POINT, THE NEW TCC HAS BEEN REPLACED FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO MONTHS AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS NOT REAPPEARED. HOWEVER, EVER SINCE THE LIGHT ORIGINALLY CAME ON, I HAVE NOTICED THE ACCELERATION AND IDLE HAVE BEEN VERY STRANGE. WHILE THE VEHICLE DOES NOT STALL, IT DOES MAKE ODD NOISES WHEN 1) DRIVING AT SPEEDS AROUND 1-30 MPH, 2) DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS UP AN INCLINE, AND 3) WHEN MOVING IN REVERSE INITIALLY. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK, IF I LEAVE THE GAS PUMP AUTO FILL LEVER ON THEN GAS WILL SPEW OUT INSTEAD OF THE GAS LEVER STOPPING. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT IT WAS THE LEVER MALFUNCTIONING, BUT AFTER HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM RECUR AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND PUMPS, I KNEW IT WAS MY VEHICLE. I HAVE NOT HAD IT INSPECTED BUT HAVE FOUND A SIMILAR PROBLEM EXISTS WITH OTHERS OWNING THE SAME VEHICLE MODEL. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT SAFE WHEN GAS POURS OUT ONTO THE VEHICLE, GROUND, AND OPERATOR, AS WELL AS A MALFUNCTION THAT COSTS EXTRA MONEY. I HAVE LEARNED NOT TO PUMP A FULL TANK OF GAS INTO THE TANK AND THUS AVOID THE PROBLEM, BUT I AM CONCERNED THIS PROBLEM COULD CAUSE DECREASED GAS MILEAGE OR OTHER ISSUES WITHIN THE FUELING SYSTEM. *TR

IT STARTED BACKING FUEL OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE ALMOST EVERYTIME AS THE FUEL TANK APPROACHED A FULL LEVEL. AT FIRST IT STARTED INTERMITTENTLY BUT LATELY, IT DOES EVERY TIME WHICH RESULTS IN A FUEL SPILL ON THE GROUND, DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, AND ON ME, IF I'M NOT PAYING ATTENTION. IT SEEMS DANGEROUS. THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON MY 07 CHRYSLER ASPEN AND CHRYSLER ANSWERED THE PROBLEM WITH A RECALL AND EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THAT ITEM. IT HAS WORKED PERFECTLY SINCE THEN. I'VE TALKED TO THE DEALER AND THEY DON'T SEEM TO KNOW THE ANSWER...EVEN THOUGH IT SEEMS LIKELY TO ME THAT IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE CHRYSLER (MAYBE THE SAME SYSTEM AS THE CHRYSLER). IF THEY SEEMED MORE POSITIVE ABOUT THE REPAIR, I WOULD PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE BALL JOINT MALFUNCTIONED, MAKING THE VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO STEER. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE MALFUNCTION WAS CAUSED BY RUSTED BALL JOINTS. THE MECHANIC REPLACED BOTH FRONT BALL JOINTS. AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 06V288000 (SUSPENSION). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY ACCELERATE WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED. THE FAILURE WAS LOCATED AT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, WHICH FAILED DUE TO CORROSION. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE A WARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 72,428.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE, FUEL SPILLED OUT OF THE FILLER NECK VALVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS BEING FILLED WITH FUEL FROM A STANDARD FUEL PUMP EQUIPPED WITH AN AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF SENSOR. WHEN THE FUEL TANK BECAME FULL, THE SENSOR WAS NOT TRIGGERED, RESULTING IN FUEL SPRAYING FROM THE FUEL TANK, COVERING THE SIDE PANEL OF THE VEHICLE, THE GROUND, AS WELL AS THE PERSON FUELING THE VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN RECURRING 100% OF THE TIME WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FILLED USING AN AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF PUMP. DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS HAVE BEEN USED WITH THE SAME RESULTS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY HAZARD CONSIDERING THAT THE PERSON FILLING THE TANK AND THE CAR ARE BECOMING SOAKED IN FUEL, AND AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF FUEL BEING SPILLED ONTO THE GROUND. *TR

JEEP LIBERTY'S FROM 2002-2007 ALL HAVE DEFECTIVE WINDOW REGULATORS. CHRYSLER KNEW THIS YET CONTINUED TO KNOWINGLY USE THESE DEFECTIVE WINDOW REGULATORS. WHY NOT, AFTER THEY BREAK CHRYSLER GETS TO SELL THE DEALERSHIP ANOTHER DEFECTIVE WINDOW REGULATOR AND THE DEALERSHIP MARKS IT UP AND THEN INSTALLS IT FOR $400. IT IS A GREAT SCAM. ALMOST A LITTLE PONZI SCHEME. PLEASE LOOK ON THE INTERNET YOU WILL FIND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THE WINDOW FALLS DOWN AT ANY TIME WITHOUT WARNING. IT CAN FALL DOWN WHILE DRIVING WHICH IS VERY STARTLING TO ALL OF A SUDDEN HEAR AIR RUSHING IN THE CAR BEHIND YOU. IT CAN FALL DOWN WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN OR PARKED IN FRONT OF YOUR HOUSE. NO MATTER WHEN IT HAPPENS IT RENDERS YOU CAR TOTALLY UNSECURED. ANYONE CAN ENTER YOUR CAR SINCE THE WINDOW WILL NOW NO LONGER STAY UP. ANY ITEMS IN YOUR CAR ARE NOW THERE FOR THE TAKING BY ANY THIEVES. THAT IS THE GOOD NEWS, THE BAD NEWS IS THAT YOUR CAR IS UNSECURED AND YOU CAN BE ATTACK OR KILLED AT ANY TIME. SOMEONE CAN ENTER YOUR CAR AND HIDE BEHIND YOUR SEAT OR IF YOU STOP AND THEY SEE THE WINDOW DOWN THEY CAN JUST ENTER IT AND YOU CANNOT STOP THEM. THE LIGHTER SIDE IS RAIN OR SNOW COMING IT AND STAINING YOUR SEATS BEYOND REPAIR. ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP IS THAT EVEN CONDENSATION STAINS THE SEATS AND YOU CAN'T GET THEM OUT. THIS DOES NOT EVEN INCLUDE SOME OF THE OTHER ISSUES: BELT TENSIONER, BALL JOINTS, ROOF RACK, MASTER CYLINDER, EMERGENCY BRAKE SHOES (WHICH I BELIEVE WERE RECA

ALL 2005 JEEP LIBERTY'S HAVE DEFECTIVE WINDOW REGULATORS THAT BREAK EVEN WHEN THE WINDOW IS NOT USED. CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT IT BUT DOES NOT CARE. THEY SELL A CAR WITH A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AND WHEN IT BREAKS THEY HAVE THE DEALER REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART WITH ANOTHER DEFECTIVE PART AND CHARGE YOU $400. IT IS FRAUD PLAIN AND SIMPLE. WHEN THE WINDOW DROPS DOWN WITHOUT WARNING THE GLASS CAN BREAK AND INJURE SOMEONE. ITEMS CAN BE TOSSED INTO THE CAR SUCH AS STONES OR DEBRIS FROM OTHER DRIVERS. PEOPLE CAN ENTER YOUR CAR AND ATTACK YOU OR KILL YOU SINCE THE CAR CANNOT BE LOCKED. YOU CANNOT LEAVE ITEMS IN YOUR CAR BECAUSE IT IS NEVER SECURE. WHEN THE WINDOW FALLS AIR RUSHES INTO YOUR CAR IF YOU ARE DRIVING ALONG WITH RAIN, SNOW AND SLEET WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE DEPENDING ON WHAT WINDOW IT IS. IT STAINS THE SEATS. I HAVE CONTACTED OTHER GOV.'T AGENCIES AND SOME TV STATIONS. IF NOTHING IS DONE I WILL CONTACT OTHER TV STATIONS UNTIL SOMETHING IS DONE. *TR

DEFECTIVE WINDOW REGULATORS. EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT THEM. JUST TYPE IN 2005 JEEP LIBERTY WINDOW REGULATOR AND SEE ALL THE HITS. THE WINDOW REGULATORS ARE BAD ON ALL JEEP LIBERTYS FROM 2002-2007. I HAVE SENT INFORMATION BEFORE BUT IT SEEMS NO ONE CARES UNTIL SOMEONE DIES. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER, CHRYSLER, BBB, THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND SEVERAL TV STATIONS. I HAVE ALSO TOLD SEVERAL FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES INCLUDING NHTSA BUT AGAIN NO ONE CARES ABOUT THE AMERICAN CITIZEN. THE ONES WHO PAY THE BILLS. WHEN IT FAILS THE WINDOW SLIDES DOWN WITHOUT ANY WARNING SO YOUR CAR BECOMES UNSAFE AND YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOCK IT OR SECURE THE CAR. THE GLASS CAN SLIDE DOWN IN THE DOOR OR BREAK IN THE DOOR. THEN YOU TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND HE CHARGES YOU $400 TO FIX A KNOWN DEFECTIVE. CHRYSLER AND THE DEALERS LOVE IT. YOU MAKE MONEY WHEN YOU SELL A CAR WITH A DEFECT AND THEN CHARGE THE PERSON EVERYTIME THE DEFECT FAILS. IT IS A WIN WIN FOR CHRYSLER AND ITS DEALERS. THE PUBLIC IS GETTING THE SHAFT. IMAGINE NOT GOING CERTAIN PLACES BECAUSE YOU ARE AFRAID YOUR CAR IS NOT SAFE TO TAKE THERE OR NOT GOING OVER NIGHT BECAUSE OF YOUR CAR. HOW ABOUT I STOP AT A RED LIGHT AND A GUYS GETS IN MY BACK SEAT WITH A KNIFE OR A GUN AND KILLS ME DUE TO MY BROKEN WINDOW REGULATOR. THE WINDOW FALLS DOWN AND THE RAIN STAINS THE SEATS ANOTHER ISSUE THE SEATS STAIN EVEN FROM WATER. NOT TO MENTION THE OTHER ISSUES I HAVE HAD THE BELT TENSIOR, THE HORN, THE ROOF RACK, THE PARKING BRAKE, THE MASTER CYLINDER, W

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED, THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW COLLAPSED INTO THE DOOR PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THAT THE WINDOW REGULATOR AND GLASS WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

THE VEHICLE WAS BEING FILLED WITH FUEL FROM A STANDARD FUEL PUMP EQUIPPED WITH AN AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF SENSOR. WHEN THE FUEL TANK BECAME FULL, THE SENSOR WAS NOT TRIGGERED, RESULTING IN FUEL SPRAYING FROM THE FUEL TANK, COVERING THE SIDE PANEL OF THE VEHICLE, THE GROUND, AS WELL AS THE PERSON FUELING THE VEHICLE.

GAS TANK "BURPS" OUT GAS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF MY CAR AND ONTO THE GROUND AS SOON AS THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF. HAS LANDED ON MY FEET A FEW TIMES. IT'S DANGEROUS AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. I'VE SEEN SO MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUES. NOT ACCEPTABLE. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT'S HAPPENING TO THOUSANDS OF JEEP DRIVERS. *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT ON THE SAME VEHICLE WITH THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL FALLING OFF DUE TO THE FIVE STUDS BEING SHEARED OFF. FIRST INCIDENT WAS @ 104104MI AND SECOND AT 152212MI. ALL MILEAGE IS HIGHWAY MILEAGE ON THE 4X4. NO OF-ROAD ROUGH TREATMENT. *TR

I WAS PARKED AND PREPARING TO LEAVE WORK WHEN MY WINDOW DROPPED DOWN INTO THE DOOR. I SEE THAT A RECALL WAS DONE ON THIS SAME ISSUE FOR MY VEHICLE, BUT NOT MY YEAR.. I HAVE A 2005 AND THEY ARE ONLY COVERING THIS ISSUE FOR 2006 FORWARD... WHY.. IF IT IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL, THAN SHOULDN'T THE OTHER YEARS BE COVERED AS WELL? *TR

INCREASINGLY, GAS PUMP AUTO SHUT OFFS FAIL. AT THIS POINT, 100% OF THE TIME, THE GAS PUMP AUTO SHUTOFF FAILS, SPILLING SEVERAL OUNCES OF FUEL ON TO THE VEHICLE SIDE AND THE GROUND BENEATH IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE MADE LOUD WHINING NOISES. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED.

THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH PROCEEDING TO MAKE A TURN, THE VEHICLE LOSS CONTROL WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL AND CONTINUE DRIVING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED SPORADICALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

THERE WAS A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 12V085000 (SUSPENSION:REAR) HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BECAUSE THE RECALL DID NOT COVER THE STATE IN WHICH THE CONTACT RESIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 128,000.

WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WAITING TO TURN LEFT. WHEN THE STOP LIGHT TURNED GREEN I ATTEMPTED TO PROCEED WITH THE VEHICLE. INITIALLY WHEN I DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR NOTHING HAPPENED. AFTER ABOUT 15 SECONDS THE VEHICLE LURCHED DRAMATICALLY FORWARD INTO OPPOSING TRAFFIC. WE WERE VERY LUCKY THAT THE ONCOMING CARS WERE ABLE TO SWERVE TO AVOID THE VEHICLE. I TOOK IT IN TO A REPAIR FACILITY AND THE INSPECTION SHOWED THAT IT WAS A TRANSMISSION FAILURE.THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED ON 5 SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR SIMILAR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. IN SPEAKING WITH THE MECHANIC PERFORMING THE REPAIR HE INDICATED THAT CHRYSLER HAD SEVERE PROBLEMS WITH THE 42RLE TRANSMISSIONS. I'M FILING THIS COMPLAINT AS I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO PRODUCE A VEHICLE WITH AN INHERENT DEFECT THAT CREATES A SEVERE SAFETY IMPAIRMENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO HIS DESTINATION.

JUST LIKE MANY OTHER JEEP LIBERTIES, FUEL SPEWS OUT, WHEN I AM FILLING THE TANK UP. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHICH STATION, OR BRAND THAT I USE. THE PUMP SHUTS OF, FOLLOWED BY ABOUT 1/4 TO 1/2 GALLON OF FUEL COMING BACK OUT. THIS IS DANGEROUS TO THE ENVIRONMENT, THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE, AND TO ME. I HAD THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED AT A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AS THE VEHICLE NEEDING A NEW FUEL TANK. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER THIS MORNING, AND THEY SAID SINCE THERE ISN'T A RECALL, THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP ME OUT. SINCE THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, SINCE SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, CHRYSLER SHOULD BE FIXING THIS PROBLEM, AT THEIR EXPENSE! I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO FIX CHRYSLER'S MISTAKES. *TR

THIS LIBERTY CRD HAS HAD MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS UNDER ORIGINAL WARRANTY, ENGINE WAS DETUNED TO PREVENT TORQUE CONVERTER PROBLEMS, AFTER WARRANTY I STILL HAD PROBLEMS. ON 11/27/ 2012 GOING TO WORK MERGING ON TOLL WAY CAR LOST POWER. TURNED OUT TO BE TORQUE CONVERTER BLEW UP AND DESTROYED TRANSMISSION. EVEN THOUGH CAR HAS 130,000 MILES, TRANSMISSION IN CAR NEVER HAD MORE THAN 40,000 DUE TO THE MANY TIMES IT WAS REMOVED. *TR

JEEP WILL NOT START, DEALER CLAIMS IS A BROKEN STEEL PIECE IN THE IGNITION IN THE STEERING COLUMN. THE CAR HAS NOT HAD A ACCIDENT OR ANY OTHER DAMAGE. CONTACTED JEEP CORPORATE AND THEY REFUSE ANY HELP DUE TO MILEAGE AND AGE DEALER COST FOR REPAIR WILL BE APPROX $700.00 FOR USED. NEED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE STEERING COLUMN. A NEW ONE WILL BE APPROC $1300.00 AND THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE AND THEY HAVE NO ESTIMATED TIME OF GETTING NEW PART. THEY QUOTED IT COULD MONTHS. THIS WILL BE THIRD TIME IN LESS THAN 3 YEARS THE CAR IS IN THE DEALER FOR NOT STARTING. EACH TIME IT IS A DIFFERENT REPAIR. THE STEERING COLUMN IS NOT DAMAGED. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK, IT OVERFLOWS. I PUT ON THE LOCK AND THEN IT PUMPS UNTIL IT OVERFLOWS. GAS THEN DRIPS DOWN THE SIDE OF MY CAR AND ONTO THE GROUND, CREATING A FIRE HAZARD. ONCE THIS HAPPENS, I THEN CAN SMELL THE GAS FUMES INSIDE MY CAR AS WELL. *TR

UPON NORMALLY FUELING VEHICLE, GAS WILL EXPEL FROM FILL TUBE WHEN TANK IS NEAR FULL. THIS CAUSES A SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS OUTFLOW OF GASOLINE ONTO PUMP OPERATOR, VEHICLE AND PAVEMENT. GASOLINE HAS ALREADY DAMAGED PAINT FINISH ON VEHICLE. ESTIMATED ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD OF 1 PINT PER FILL-UP OR APPROXIMATELY 100 PINTS PER YEAR. DEALER CHARGED $105 TO TEST FOR CONDITION AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT FUEL SYSTEM SPILLAGE IS CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE FILLER TUBE AND VAPOR TUBE. REPAIR COST ESTIMATED AT $640 PARTS AND LABOR. VEHICLE MANUFACTURER MUST BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DEFECTIVE VEHICLE SYSTEM AND NOT VEHICLE OWNER. THIS IS NOT A MAINTENANCE ITEM, NOR WAS IT CAUSED BY MIS-USE. THIS VEHICLE DEFECT HAS SERIOUS SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS AND THIS CONDITION HAS BEEN NOTED, CAMPAIGNED AND RECALLED PREVIOUSLY ON MANY OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES. REQUEST THAT VEHICLE OEM PAY TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE PARTS TO AVOID ANY FURTHER CONTAMINATION TO THE ENVIRONMENT, AVOID FURTHER VEHICLE DAMAGE AND ELIMINATE ON-GOING RISKS TO PERSONS. *TR

EVERY TIME I GO TO FILL MY JEEP UP, THE GAS TANK OVER FLOWS. IT SHUTS OFF AFTER A SECOND OR TWO, BUT THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GAS THAT GOES ON THE FLOOR, AND ALL OVER MY CAR! *TR

ON A RAINY MORNING ON 11/13/2012 WHILE MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE MY JEEP LIBERTY WENT INTO A SKID AND I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND HIT THE ROADSIDE BARRIER. THE FRONT AND BACK BUMPERS WERE DAMAGED. THE PROBLEM WAS NOT THE SKID BUT THAT THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED IN PLACE AND COULD NOT BE STEERED TO HELP CONTROL THE TRUCK. THIS HAD HAPPENED AT LEAST TWICE BEFORE WHEN THE TRUCK WENT INTO A SKID. MY HUSBAND HAD ASKED OUR LOCAL SERVICE DEALER ABOUT IT AND HE SAID THAT THIS WAS PART OF THE JEEP SUSPENSION AND WAS NOT A DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE OPERATION. BASED ON THAT INQUIRY, I THOUGHT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, THAT MAYBE IT WAS JUST A FLUKE. HOWEVER, NOW I AM NOT SO SURE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE STEERING COLUMN ON A VEHICLE SHOULD LOCKED IN PLACE AND NOT ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO BE CONTROLLED. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE BEEN WAITING EIGHT MONTHS FOR MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER TO GET THE PART FOR THE LATEST SAFETY RECALL, L27/NHTSA 12V-085 REAR SUSPENSION LOWER CONTROL ARMS. WE CHECKED LAST MONTH AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT WE WERE STILL NUMBER TWO ON THE LIST AND WHEN THEY GOT THE REPAIR PART WE WOULD GET THE REPAIR PART. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD SINCE MAY 2012 THAT WE WERE NUMBER TWO ON THE REPAIR LIST. I NEED ANSWERS ON WHY MY STEERING WHEEL DOES THIS OR I NEED TO GET RID OF THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN I MIGHT HAVE VERY DIFFERENT RESULTS THAN THE PAST TWO TIMES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 35 MPH WHEN SHE ATTEMPTED TO MERGE INTO THE INTERSTATE AND CRASHED INTO A VEHICLE THAT WAS STOPPED. BOTH VEHICLES WERE DESTROYED. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT'S FACE WAS THROWN INTO THE STEERING WHEEL, THEN THE WINDSHIELD, KNOCKING OUT THREE OF HER FRONT TEETH. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER BUT THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHY THE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 104,000.
