2005 Jeep Liberty complaints

EVERY SINGLE TIME I FILL UP MY JEEP, IT NEVER FAILS TO OVER FILL. THE GAS PUMP DOES NOT SHUT OFF UNTIL THE GAS IS COMING OUT AND SPILLING ALL OVER MY VEHICLE. *TR

THE REAR CONTROL ARM COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH AND BROKE AS I WAS DRIVING ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY. I LOST CONTROL OF THE JEEP, LUCKILY THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS AROUND SO I WAS ABLE TO AVOID A CRASH. THE OTHER ARM IS ALMOST RUSTED THROUGH AS WELL. THIS IS NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THE CORROSION IS EXCESSIVE! THE JEEP HAS NOT BEEN USED FOR SNOW PLOWING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. THERE IS NO RUST ANYWHERE ELSE ON THE CAR JUST THE REAR CONTROL ARMS. *TR

I'VE HAD MULTIPLE WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURES (LEAVING MY CAR OPEN TO THEFT AND DAMAGE), SEAT BELT BROKEN, AND AIR CONDITION COMPRESSOR, AND REAR AXEL PROBLEMS. ALL ISSUES HAPPENED SHORTLY AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. *TR

I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM MY JOB EARLY AND I HAD NOTICED A FUNNY GRINDING SOUND WHEN I PULLED OUT OF MY PARKING SPACE. I GOT OUT, CHECKED AROUND THE TRUCK AND SAW NOTHING. I THEN DROVE HOME ABOUT 7 MILES FROM MY HOUSE MY CAR HAD BEGAN GOING RIGHT THEN LEFT AND I WAS UNABLE TO STEER IT AT ALL. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT I WAS NOT GOING FAST AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP AND PULL INTO A PARKING LOT. I WOULD HAVE CRASHED IF THIS HAD HAPPENED MINUTES BEFORE WHEN I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE NEAREST GARAGE AND LEARNED THAT THE REAR SUSPENSION CONTROL ARMS HAD BOTH COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH AND THE ONLY THING KEEPING MY JEEPS REAR END TOGETHER WAS A SWAY BAR. THE MECHANIC SAYS HE HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER ALSO. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN CONNECTICUT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WOULD EXHIBIT A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE WHEN BRAKING TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE CONTACTED BUT DENIED ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

GAS TANK OVERFLOWS WHILE REFUELING AND SPLASHING GASOLINE ALL OVER CAR, GROUND AND PERSON (IF NEARBY). HUGE SAFETY AND FIRE ISSUE. SHUTOFF DOESN'T ENGAGE AND HAPPENS BOTH DURING THE FILLING PROCESS OR WHEN FULL. PULLING NOZZLE OUT SOME DOES NOT HELP PROBLEM. AMBIENT TEMPERATURE DOESN'T NOT MATTER. LIVE IN COLORADO WITH BOTH HOT AND COLD, SAME ISSUE. DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE AND ON JEEP BLOGS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO FIX BEFORE SOMEONE CATCHES FIRE OR A STATION BLOWS UP. I AM SURE THE GAS STATION OWNERS WOULD BE HAPPY TO JOIN CONSUMERS IN GETTING THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION FIXED FOR EVERYONE'S SAKE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH AND CRASHED. THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THE CAUSE OF THE CRASH WAS BLACK ICE, BUT THE CONTACT BELEIVED THAT THE CRASH WAS CAUSED BY A LOSS OF CONTROL IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,000.

THE REAR CONTROL ARM OF OUR 2005 JEEP LIBERTY CORRODED AND BROKE IN HALF WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT GOING ABOUT 10 MILES PER HOUR. *KB

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

MY JEEP IS MAKING WINDING AND GRINDING NOISES. I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS THE BALL JOINTS WHICH CHRYSLER EVENTUALLY AGREED TO REPLACE SINCE IT IS CONSIDERED A REPEAT RECALL FOR THEM BUT THE NOISE, VIBRATION AND SHIMMY IN THE STEERING HAS PERSISTED AND THE SERVICE DEPT. AT THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT I ALSO NEED CONTROL ARMS AND SWAY BAR LINKS. THE SERVICE REP TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT CONSIDERED TO BE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THE PERSON ASSIGNED TO MY CASE TOLD ME HE WOULD GET BACK TO ME TO FOLLOW UP. DAYS LATER WHEN I FINALLY TRACKED HIM DOWN IN BETWEEN HIS BREAKS AND PHONE CALLS HE TOLD ME THAT THE DEALER TOLD HIM THAT IT WAS JUST NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I HAVEN'T TAKEN MY CAR OFF ROAD AND IT HASN'T BEEN IN THE SNOW OR ON SALTY ROADS. THE LAST TIME THAT I TRIED TO REACH HIM I WAS TOLD THAT HE DID NOT WORK ON WEDNESDAYS. STILL NO RESPONSE FROM CHRYSLER FROM ANYONE REGARDING WHETHER OR NOT ITS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT THEY WILL COVER OR ASSIST WITH. I UPDATED MY CASE WITH THE INFO THAT I WOULD ADD TO YOUR ONGOING INVESTIGATION IF I DID NOT RECEIVE AN UPDATE REGARDING ASSISTANCE FROM THEM. THE JEEP IS 5 YRS. OLD AND IS STILL MAKING A HORRIBLE NOISE ON THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE AND I CANNOT GET A RESPONSE OF ANY KIND FROM CHRYSLER. I HAVE A POWER TRAIN WARRANTY IN EFFECT UNTIL THE END OF NOVEMBER. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU CAN ASSIST WITH EXPEDITING THIS MATTER WITH CHRYSLER SINCE I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE JEEP IN THIS CONDITION. ORIGINALLY, I WAS TOLD BY MY CASE M

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY, THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SURGED FORWARD UNTIL SHE SHIFTED INTO PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS SAFELY DRIVEN HOME AND WAS NOT TAKEN TO HAVE THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 81,859. UPDATED 11/28/11 *CN

EACH TIME I GO TO HAVE GAS PUT IN MY VEHICLE (NO MATTER WHAT GAS STATION) OR WHETHER THE GAS IS ALMOST FULL OR ALMOST EMPTY. WHEN THE GAS IS BEING FILLED IT WILL SPIT THE GAS BACK OUT UNLESS YOU FILL IT VERY, VERY, VERY SLOW AND WAIT FOR THE GAS TO SETTLE. IT SPITS IT OUT ON THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK AND HAS A VERY BAD FUME SMELL OR ODOR AFTER HAVING GAS PUMPED EACH TIME. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY CONCERN AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL VIA CHRYSLER-JEEP WITH ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ ONLINE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A PRIVATE STREET, HEARD A "POP" NEAR THE BACK OF VEHICLE. I STOPPED AND CHECKED TO SEE IF I HAD A FLAT, AS THE CAR WAS SWERVING AS IF I HAD A FLAT TIRE. HOWEVER, UPON INSPECTION, TIRE WAS FULLY INFLATED BUT IT WAS RUBBING THE BACK OF THE WHEEL WELL. THE WHEEL WAS OFF-CENTER AND THE VEHICLE ITSELF WAS LOWER TO THE WHEEL. I PROCEEDED TO PULL INTO MY DRIVEWAY. AFTER VIEWING UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE, NOTICED THE RUSTED BROKEN ARM OF THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM (LEFT REAR). THE OTHER SIDE IS RUSTED AND CRACKED AS WELL (RIGHT REAR). FORTUNATELY I WAS TRAVELING IN A SUBDIVISION AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED. OTHERWISE I FEEL HAD I BEEN ON A BUSIER HIGHWAY AT HIGHER RATE OF SPEED, MAY HAVE LOST CONTROL AS THE CAR WAS SWERVING WHILE I WAS ONLY DOING 20MPH AND UNDER. *TR

GAS SPURTS OUT THE FILLER TUBE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING FILLED AND IT IS NEAR FULL. THE AUTOMATIC PUMPS DO NOT SHUT OFF AS THEY WOULD WHEN THE VEHICLE'S TANK IS FULL. THIS HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER I AM FILLING WITH THE CONVENIENCE LOCK ON THE HANDLE OF THE PUMP OR WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE SQUEEZING THE PUMP HANDLE MYSELF. *TR

SINCE WE BOUGHT THE LIBERTY WE HAVE HAD A TOTAL OF 12 INCIDENTS WHERE THE WINDOWS HAVE FALLEN DOWN AND LEFT THE VEHICLE VULNERABLE TO THE ELEMENTS AND ON TWO OCCASIONS PERSONAL PROPERTY HAS BEEN TAKEN FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE IN SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOTS. CHRYSLER SOLD US AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH WILL COVER THE REPAIRS BUT THERE IS A $100 DEDUCTIBLE EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE GOES IN. JEEP MAKES A JOKE OUT OF IT WHEN THEY SEE ME COME IN BY SAYING "WHAT, ANOTHER WINDOW ?" AND THEN LAUGHING AND SAYING THIS IS GETTING TO BE A ROUTINE, THIS IS TRUE AND I KNOW ALL OF THE PEOPLE THERE BECAUSE I SOLD CHRYSLER/ JEEP / DODGE FOR 5 YEARS SO I JUST LAUGH WITH THEM BUT IT REALLY MAKES ME MAD THAT JEEP WON'T FIX AN ISSUE THAT IS SO OBVIOUS AND SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE MY WIFE DRIVES THIS CAR TO WORK AND WHEN SHE GOES TO THE CAR AFTER WORK SHE HAS TO CHECK AND SEE IF ANYONE IS INSIDE THE VEHICLE BEFORE SHE GETS IN AND WHEN SHE IS DRIVING THE CAR ON THE FREEWAY IF THE WINDOW FALLS DOWN IT STARTLES HER AND SHE HAS ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT TWICE OVER THE FRONT WINDOWS FALLING. I NOW HAVE TWO WINDOWS BEING HELD UP BY COAT HANGERS STUFFED IN THE WINDOW TRACK SO THE INSIDE DOESN'T GET WET OR THE CAR SIT OUTSIDE WITH WINDOWS WIDE OPEN. SOMEONE NEEDS TO NIP THIS IN THE BUD AND GET THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION TO STEP UP AND FIX THESE VEHICLES BEFORE THEY HURT SOMEONE. *KB

I CANNOT CONTROL MY VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE STEERING COLUMN SEEMS TO BE VERY LOOSE AND THE JEEP SHIMMIES. IT SEEMS THAT WHEN YOU REACH MAYBE 50 MPH THE BACK END SEEMS TO PULL TO THE RIGHT WHILE YOU ARE TRYING TO DRIVE STRAIGHT. CAUSING ALOT OF SHAKING AND PULLING GOING ON. A VERY UNSTEADY RIDE. AND NOTICED WHEN TRYING TO STOP AT THE FAST PACE THE FRONT END WANTS TO GO TO THE LEFT WHILE THE BACK END WANTS TO GO TO THE RIGHT. VERY SCARY DRIVING CONDITIONS. TOOK IT TO THE JEEP DEALER LAST YEAR AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, THAT JEEPS HAVE ALOT OF PLAY IN THE STEERING. BUT WHEN I NOTICED THAT WHEN I GO OVER A BUMP A LOUD CLANKING NOISE HAPPENS I DECIDED TO LOOK ON LINE TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE AND I SAW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON BALL JOINTS, SO I THOUGHT IT COULD BE THAT. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP YESTERDAY AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG, DESCRIBED EXACTLY WHAT I WAS DEALING WITH AND TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD FIND OUT. TO MY DISMAY, THEY SAID IT WAS MY REAR LOWE CONTROL ARMS THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND WOULD CHARGE ME OVER 600 TO FIX. NOW FINDING OUT THAT OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND SOME HAVE RESULTED IN A WRECK. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE REGARDING THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIVES. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY RENEGADE AND ONCE AGAIN...FOR THE 3RD TIME, THE REGULATOR HAS FAILED ON MY DRIVER'S SIDE PASSENGER WINDOW. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW TWICE. I'M SURE AFTER I HAVE THE DRIVER'S SIDE REPAIRED, THIS ONE WILL ALSO FAIL. SEEING THE NEVERENDING COMPLAINTS FILED FROM OTHER JEEP OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, HOW MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE TO BE FILED BEFORE CHRYSLER FIXES THE PROBLEM? *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT DIESEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE SPORADICALLY. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE TURBO WAS DEFECTIVE AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 58,200.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOWS FELL INTO THE DOORPANEL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER AND THE DEALER REPLACE THE REGULATOR ASSEMBLY FOR EACH WINDOW. THE CONTACT STATED THE REAR WINDOW HAD TO BE REPLACED OVER THREE TIMES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT REGULATOR THAT THE DEALERS WERE USING TO REMEDY THE ISSUE WERE DEFECTIVE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE PARKED, THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW GLASS DETACHED AND FELL INTO THE DOOR PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE LIFTING BAR ON THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR HAD CAUSED THE FAILURE AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BOTH BACK PASSENGER WINDOW SYSTEMS. BOTH WENT DOWN WITH SEEMINGLY NO CAUSE AND IT COST HUNDREDS TO REPAIR EACH. NO ONE EVER RIDES IN THE BACK OF MY CAR. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN, BUT I UNDERSTAND IT'S COMMON IN THESE VEHICLES. SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED BY CONSUMER PROTECTION. *TR

JEEP - SINCE 2002 HAS HAD 1000'S OF COMPLAINTS /REPAIRS REGARDING THE REAR WINDOW REGULATOR BREAKING OVER AND OVER, AND THIS ALSO CAUSING THE REAR DOOR TO JAM SO IT CAN NOT BE OPENED. THEY HAVE KNOWN THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON DUE TO THE REGULATOR IS PLASTIC, AND REPEATEDLY BREAKS... NOT BEING ABLE TO THE OPEN THE DOOR IS A SAFETY CONCERN... THERE ARE 1000'S OF BLOGS FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE REPLACED THESE REGULATORS MULTIPLE TIMES, AND JEEP REFUSING TO REIMBURSE OR FILE A RECALL - I HAVE A JEEP LIBERTY 2005, AND I NOW HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BOTH THE PASSENGER / DRIVER SIDE REGULATOR, AND BOTH TIMES THE DOORS JAMMED... PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS FOR THE 1000'S OF JEEP OWNERS THAT HAVING TO PUT OUT $300+ EACH TIME THIS OCCURS... WITH THE ECONOMY THE WAY IT IS, WE JUST CAN'T AFFORD A NEW CAR, OR HAVING TO PAY FOR THE SAME REPAIR OVER AND OVER AND OVER... ALSO, IF YOU WINDOW WON'T STAY CLOSE, IT OPENS YOUR JEEP FOR BEING VANDALIZED OR EVEN STOLEN..... *TR

I HAVE A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY AND EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK (NO MATTER WHAT STATION I AM AT), IT ALWAYS OVERFLOWS. I HOLD THE NOZZLE TILL THE NOZZLE CLICKS (INDICATING THE TANK IS FULL) AND CONSEQUENTLY A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE SPILLS OUT. IT'S VERY EMBARRASSING WHEN OTHER PEOPLE NOTICE AND UNSAFE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. I HAVE READ MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS AND I HAVE SEEN YOUTUBE VIDEOS SHOWING IT AS WELL. *TR

I WAS INFORMED THAT I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE BALL JOINT SUSPENSION ON MY 2005 JEEP LIBERTY BEFORE IT COULD PASS INSPECTION. WHEN I CALLED THE CHRYSLER RECALL HOTLINE, THE REPRESENTATIVE STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR REPAIRS TO THE LIBERTY B/C IT WAS ALREADY REPAIRED DURING THE RECALL. BUT THEY WERE MORE THAN WILLING TO HELP ME FIND A DEALERSHIP TO WHERE I WOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THIS WAS FROM A FAULTY DESIGN, THIS IS NOT FROM WEAR AND TEAR THAT OCCURS WHEN OWNING A VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, A LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE FRONT END AND HE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE SWERVED OFF THE ROADWAY. UPON EXAMINATION, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE UPPER BALL JOINT FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE IT WAS IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 129,000. UPDATED 02/22/12

THE REAR WINDOW ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FELL DOWN FOR NO REASON. I PRESSED THE SWITCH IT DID NOT MOVE. I PULLED IT UP BY HAND BUT IT WOULD FALL RIGHT DOWN. I TOOK IT TO THE JEEP DEALER THINKING IT WOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY BUT THEY CHARGED ME. TWO YEARS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE SAME WINDOW. I PAID FOR IT AGAIN. SINCE, THEY FIXED IT LAST TIME THEY SCRATCHED THE GLASS AND I CANNOT OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. I AM SINGLE AND 99.9% OF THE TIME I AM THE ONLY ONE IN THE CAR. THE WINDOW DOES NOT EVEN GET USED AND IT FAILS. THE WINDOW WAS NOT USED ONCE SINCE THE SECOND REPLACEMENT AND IT HAS FAILED AGAIN FOR A THIRD TIME. THE SECOND TIME I WAS AT THE JEEP DEALER TO HAVE IT REPLACED THE SERVICE ADVISOR EVEN SAID TO ME THAT THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME ON THESE VEHICLES. WELL, THEN WHY ISN'T SOMETHING BEING DONE ABOUT IT? WHEN YOU READ THE INTERNET YOU WILL FIND THAT ALL JEEP LIBERTY'S FROM 2002 TO 2007 HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THE PART WAS NOT ENGINEERED CORRECTLY AND DOES NOT HOLD UP. THE PART IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE. YOU WILL BE DRIVING ALONG AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU HEAR AIR RUSHING IN BEHIND YOU. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE FORCED TO FIX IT BECAUSE OTHERWISE, THEY WILL NOT DO IT. THEY KNOWINGLY SOLD A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT WHICH IS FRAUD AND IT IS ILLEGAL. YOUR JEEP IS NEVER SECURE AND IS UNSAFE. I TRAVEL INTO THE CITY EVERY DAY AND HAVE TO FEAR THAT WHEN I WALK OUT MY WINDOW WILL BE DOWN AND I WILL BE ROBBED OR SOMEONE CAN JUST REACH IN AND GET IN MY CAR BECAUSE THE WINDOW IS DOWN AND KILL ME, ATTAC

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, A CLUNKING NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE REAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTICS, WHERE THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE TRAILING ARM FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED SIX MONTHS LATER. AFTER THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO EXHIBIT A CLUNKING NOISE AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE TRAILING ARM FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000. UPDATED 09/14/2011 *LN THE TRAILING ARM ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE RUSTED COMPLETELY IN FEB 2011 AND THE PASSENGER SIDE RUSTED SIX MONTHS LATER/ 12/13/11.. UPDATED 04/11/12 *BF UPDATED 04/23/12

IT IS A WELL DOCUMENTED FACT REGARDING THE CONTINUED NEGLIGENCE OF CHRYSLER/JEEP REGARDING THE DEFECTIVE WINDOW REGULATORS. THE WINDOW REGULATOR CONTROLS THE ELECTRIC WINDOW AND KEEPS IT IN PLACE. WITH NO WARNING THE DEFECTIVE PART FREQUENTLY BREAKS CAUSING THE WINDOW TO FALL INTO THE DOOR-THE WINDOW CANNOT BE ROLLED UP. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED 11/09 I HAD TWO SMALL CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT DURING A THUNDERSTORM. I WAS TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY. SUDDENLY THE WINDOW DROPPED INTO THE REAR DRIVERS DOOR. THE CHILDREN STARTED SCREAMING AS RAIN CAME INTO THE VEHICLE AND I HAD TO PULL OVER ONTO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. I HAD TO CALL FOR HELP AND A FAMILY MEMBER DROVE 60 MILES TO PICK UP THE CHILDREN AS WE SAT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH POURING RAIN COMING INTO THE VEHICLE. AFTER INVESTIGATING THE MATTER AND SPENDING 357.00 TO GET IT FIXED,I REALISED THIS HAS BECOME A CHRONIC SAFETY ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE. JEEP FIXES THE WINDOW WITH THE SAME FAULTY PART,THEY REIMBURSED ME FOR MOST OF THE COST HOWEVER 21 MONTHS LATER..... THE SAME THING ALL OVER AGAIN AND THIS TIME THEY DON'T WANT TO COVER IT AND OF COURSE THEY STILL FIX IT WITH THE SAME DANGEROUS PART. IT NOW COSTS 400-500$ TO FIX IT. THOUSANDS OF JEEP LIBERTY OWNERS HAVE DEALT WITH THIS PROBLEM OVER AND OVER. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW CHRYSLER/JEEP CAN GET AWAY WITH THIS BLATANT SAFETY ISSUE. *TT

THE LEFT REAR WINDOW JUST FELL DOWN INSIDE THE DOOR WHEN I WAS DRIVING. WE TOOK THE DOOR APART (SO WE COULD CLOSE THE WINDOW) AND FOUND OUT IT WAS A FAULTY WINDOW REGULATOR. I CALLED EVERYWHERE FOR A PART AND THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS IT IS A DEALER AT A HEFTY PRICE. I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS A COMMOM PROBLEM AND THE DEALER CHECKED MY VIN # AND I WAS TOLD MINE WAS NOT ON A RECALL LIST. ON MY MANY PHONE CALLS TO VARIOUS PARTS SUPPLIER STORES, I WAS TOLD THAT THE PART IS JUNK AND IT WOULD PROBABLY HAPPEN AGAIN. THE DEALER SAYS THERE IS A ONE YEAR WARRANTLY ON THE PART. IT JUST SEEMS TO ME THAT IT IS A NO WIN SITUATION, FOR THE CONSUMER ANYWAY. TOTAL COST OF REPAIR, PARTS AND LABOR - $283.48. REDICULOUS!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY DIESEL CRD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE TWICE, IN JUNE 2011 AND AGAIN FIVE WEEKS LATER, FOR THE SAME RELATED FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FIRES WERE CAUSED BY THE TRANSMISSION VENT THAT RELEASED FLUID ONTO THE EXHAUST PIPE. THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND WHILE DRIVING, CAUSED THE FLUIDS TO LEAK AND CAUSE A FIRE UNDER THE HOOD. THERE WERE NO INJURIES DURING EITHER FIRE. A FIRE REPORT WAS FILED. THE INSURANCE COMPANY WAS CONTACTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND A COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE FAILURE WAS A REPORTED AS A MECHANICAL PROBLEM AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,500 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE ENGINE ON WHEN IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING AND REACHED 5,000 RPMS. SHE WAS ABLE TO TURN THE KEY TO POWER THE VEHICLE OFF HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO RUN, CAUSING THE MOTOR TO FAIL. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NEITHER DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 72,256. UPDATED 10/19/11 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED HE STARTED THE JEEP AND ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO IDLE. WHILE IN PARK, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, BY ITSELF DEPRESSED AND THE MOTOR ACCELERATOR TO 5,000 RPM ACCORING TO THE INTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONSUMER IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE KEY IN THE IGNITION TO OFF AND PULLED THE KEY OUT. THE MOTOR DID NOT SHUT OFF. THIS CONTINUED FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME UNTIL THE MOTOR SEIZED FROM RUNNING AT THAT CAPACITY. UPDATED 10/14/11

2005 JEEP LIBERTY WINDOW OPERATION FAILS REPEATEDLY DUE TO POOR DESIGN AND INFERIOR COMPONENTS. *TR

LOSS OF CONTROL: JUNE 30, 2011, 05 JEEP LIBERTY. RUSTED THROUGH LOWER CONTROL ARM ON THE LEFT SIDE. JEEP FLAT BEDDED TO DEALER FOR REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT. COULD HAVE CAUSED MORE DAMAGE IF I HAD BEEN ON THE FREEWAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AND WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP FOR INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN WAS DEFECTIVE AND MADE REPAIRS.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

THIS EVENING, I HAD A COLLISION WITH A CAR THAT WAS ATTEMPTING TO CROSS THE HIGHWAY, BUT PULLED OUT DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME. I SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES, BUT T-BONED THE OTHER VEHICLE. I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH. HER VEHICLE SUSTAINED MOST OF THE DAMAGE, AND I WAS ACTUALLY VERY IMPRESSED THAT MY LIBERTY DID NOT SUSTAIN AS MUCH DAMAGE AS I HAD EXPECTED. I WAS WEARING MY SEATBELT, BUT TO MY SURPRISE, MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. MY CHEST HIT THE STEERING WHEEL. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY DESPITE HITTING A VEHICLE THAT WAS ESSENTIALLY NOT EVEN MOVING. I LOVE MY JEEP, BUT HOW DO I KNOW THAT MY AIR BAG EVEN WORKS? LUCKILY I MADE IT THROUGH THIS ACCIDENT WITHOUT SEVERE INJURIES, BUT MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY NEXT TIME. *TR

WE HAVE A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY THAT WE PURCHASED NEW. SINCE THAT POINT THE REAR WINDOWS HAVE SPONTANEOUSLY FALLEN DOWN FIVE TIMES. 3 TIMES THE WINDOWS WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, THE LAST TWO TIMES JEEP HAS REFUSED TO COVER THE REPAIR SINCE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE REPAIR COST IS APPROX $400 EACH TIME AND THEY REPLACE THE BROKEN PART WITH THE SAME FAULTY PART THAT BREAKS AGAIN. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL THE VEHICLE SWERVED TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT. WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEED AT APPROXIMATELY 55 TO 60 MPH THE VEHICLE ALSO BECAME UNCONTROLLABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST THAT DETERMINED THE FAILURE WAS LOCATED IN THE REAR LOWER CONTROL BUSHING. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

1. POOR MATERIAL SELECTION FOR TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR VALVE STEM. STEMS ARE MADE OF ALUMINUM AND WITH ROAD SALT THEY CORRODE AND CRACK WHEN PRESSURE GAUGES OR AIR HOSES ARE CONNECTED. 2. SPARE TIRE SENSOR ALWAYS REPORTS LOW PRESSURE NO MATTER PRESSURE OR WHICH TIRE IS MOUNTED ON SPARE TIRE HOLDER. *TR

WHEN FILLING MY 2005 JEEP LIBERTY WITH FUEL IT SPITS BACK ALMOST A QUART. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT PUMPS AT DIFFERENT STATIONS AND IT DOES THIS EVERY TIME. THE PROBLEM IS VERY HARMFUL TO THE ENVIRONMENT AND TO ME AS I BREATHE IN THE FUMES. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL TO PROTECT CONSUMER. *TR

2005 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT WITH 74,000 MILES. FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS NEED REPLACEMENT BECAUSE OF CORROSION. IF NOT REPLACED THE WHEELS MAY FALL OFF CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT THAT MAY LEAD TO DEATH. THIS ISSUE WAS FOUND INADVERTENTLY WHILE GETTING AN OIL CHANGE. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT DRIVE ANY DIFFERENTLY OR MAKE ANY PARTICULAR NOISES THAT MIGHT ALERT THE DRIVER THAT THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP IN 2005 AND HAS NEVER BEEN USED AS AN OFF-ROAD VEHICLE. THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE HAS BEEN VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND SHOULD NOT BE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY, DAIMLER CHRYSLER IS NOT ADDRESSING THIS PROBLEM WITH A RECALL. HAVING THE FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS REPLACED WILL COST UPWARDS OF $1000.00. *TR

THE FUEL TANK ON MY LIBERTY SPEWS GAS WHEN FILLING (MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED). I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH JEEP, AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS THEY WOULD REPLACE THE GAS TANK IF I PAY A $500.00 COPAY, WHICH TO THEM IS A "ONE TIME GESTURE OF GOOD WILL", AND TO ME IS UNACCEPTABLE. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET ON CHRYSLER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, AND IT'S MY OPINION IS THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AND THE FUEL TANKS REPLACED AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION - WARRANTY OR NOT. APPARENTLY, JEEP DOESN'T REGARD GAS FLYING IN YOUR FACE AS THEIR PROBLEM, AND I'M SHOCKED AND APPALLED THEY ARE NOT REQUIRED TO FIX IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACTED STATED THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED TWICE CAUSING THE WINDOW TO BECOME INOPERABLE. THE WINDOW REGULATOR WAS REPLACED TWICE UNDER WARRANTY BUT THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE REGULATOR WOULD FAIL AGAIN BECAUSE THE DEALER REPLACED THE FAILURE WITH ANOTHER DEFECTIVE REGULATOR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT IF THE WINDOW REGULATOR WERE TO FAIL IN THE FUTURE, THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 47,000. UPDATED 06/07/11*LJ

WHEN FILLING UP GAS TANK FOR 2005 JEEP LIBERTY RENEGADE, IT DOES NOT SHUT OFF WHEN TANK IS FULL, CAUSING GAS TO GUSH OUT. *TR

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON (MEANING THE AIRBAG IS OFF) WHEN THERE IS NO WEIGHT ON THE SEAT. THIS IS CONCERNING BECAUSE WHEN AN ADULT SEATS IN THE SEAT, THE LIGHT WILL TURN OFF BUT WILL THE AIRBAG BE TURNED ON? THE SEAT IS SUPPOSED TO DETECT A CHILD AND TURN OFF THE AIRBAG. HOWEVER, IT IS JUST TURNING OFF. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY THAT SPEWS GAS WHEN IT IS REFILLED. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED IN 2009 AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS OFFERED NO REMEDY FOR THIS SITUATION. *TR
