2006 Jeep Liberty complaints

THE WINDOW REGULATOR ON THE 2006 JEEP LIBERTY HAS A PLASTIC PART THAT CONTINUALLY BREAKS CAUSING THE WINDOW TO SLAM DOWN AND SOMETIMES SHATTER WITH PASSENGERS IN THE REAR SEAT. JEEP'S SOLUTION...REPLACING THE $200+ ASSEMBLY WITH THE SAME CHEAP PLASTIC SLIDE WINDOW MOUNT. *TR

2006 JEEP LIBERTY ALL WINDOW REGULATORS BROKE AND ALL REGULATORS AND WINDOWS HAD TO BE REPLACED. HUNDREDS OF OWNERS ARE ON EDMONDS.COM WITH THIS PROBLEM. WINDOWS JUST UNEXPECTEDLY DROP INTO DOOR AND WILL NOT OPERATE. COST APPROXIMATELY $500 PER WINDOW IF OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED ON 8-20-09 IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH APPROXIMATELY 50,000 MILES. BEFORE I EVEN DROVE THE CAR OFF THE DEALERSHIPS LOT, THE REAR DRIVER'S-SIDE WINDOW/WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED RENDERING THE WINDOW INOPERABLE. DEALERSHIP DID NOT HAVE PART AND HAD TO SEAL IN UP POSITION SO AS NOT TO FALL, WHILE PART IS BEING ORDERED. UPON EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET ON VARIOUS HIGHLY RESPECTED CAR REVIEW/RATING SITES, I HAVE LEARNED THAT THE 2006 JEEP LIBERTY HAS A KNOWN DEFECT IN QUALITY OF WINDOW REGULATOR DESIGN AND MATERIAL USED WHICH CAUSES WINDOWS TO DROP INTO DOORS OR CEASE OPERATING ROUTINELY ON AVERAGE OF EVERY 2-3 MONTHS. YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING, MY REAR PASSENGER WINDOW DROPPED WHILE I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC. I WAS SUBSEQUENTLY STARTLED TO THE POINT I SWERVED, AND NARROWLY MISSED HITTING ANOTHER CAR WHICH WOULD HAVE CAUSED A MULTIPLE CAR COLLISION ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE. I HAVE SINCE TAPED MY WINDOW IN THE "UP" POSITION UNTIL I CAN RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WITH DEALER. DEALERSHIP HAS INFORMED ME THAT THEY WILL ONLY COVER THIS FIRST REPLACEMENT/REPAIR, AND THAT I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FUTURE WINDOW REGULATOR REPAIRS OF $500.00 EACH. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE. A COMPANY/DEALERSHIP SHOULD STAND 100% BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND SHOULD CERTAINLY ADDRESS POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUES RESULTING FROM SOMETHING AS CRITICAL AS THIS. THE KNOWN WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURE COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS, BODILY INJURY, THEFT/VANDALISM ISSUES, AND DE

I PURCHASED A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT AND I HAVE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM LATELY WITH THE BRAKES AS IF THEY WILL NOT STOP, IT HAS A TOGGLING FEEL UNDER YOUR FOOT WHEN YOU PRESS THE BRAKES TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AS IF IT WILL GIVE WAY AND NOT STOP, I'VE BEEN TOLD BEFORE I GOT ON LINE THAT IT MAY BE THE ABS, OR THE ANTI BRAKES, BUT I CALLED THE JEEP DEALER SHIP AND HE SAID THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE GOING BY THE LAST EIGHT DIGITS OF MY SERIAL NUMBER, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND I WOULD LIKE FOR THEM TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT OR AT LEAST CHECK IT. BEFORE THEY WILL CHECK IT, I WILL HAVE TO PAY THEM. I READ THE RECALL INFORMATION AND I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT AND HE CAN SAY THAT MY JEEP IS NOT ON RECALL WHAT'S UP WITH THAT. DO I HAVE TO BE KILLED IN THIS VEHICLE FOR THEM TO EVEN CHECK IT. OR INJURE SOMEONE ELSE BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO DO THEIR JOB. I WILL BE TAKING MY JEEP TO E-FORD IN FLORENCE SC TO BE CHECKED AT MY EXPENSE WHICH I FEEL IS NOT RIGHT. BUT I CARE MORE ABOUT MY LIFE THAN THEY DO I GUESS. *TR

INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH ABS/ELECTRONIC STABILITY SYSTEM SETTING WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH AND DISABLING ABS/ESP. WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATE, AND TURN OFF RANDOMLY. MALFUNCTION HAS NOW LEAD TO FAILURE OF ABS, CAUSING LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL WHILE BRAKING. ABS CYCLED WITHOUT NEED, AND IMPROPERLY, CAUSING UNEVEN BRAKING AND VIOLENT, UNCONTROLLED SWERVING OF VEHICLE. REQUIRED REMOVAL OF ABS PUMP FUSE TO MAKE VEHICLE DRIVABLE AGAIN. THIS OCCURRED UNDER NORMAL BRAKING FROM ~45MPH TO A RED LIGHT. HAD THIS OCCURRED AT FREEWAY SPEEDS, OR UNDER AN EMERGENCY STOP, THERE WOULD HAVE ALMOST CERTAINLY BEEN AN ACCIDENT. OWNER FORUMS REPORT THIS AS A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. THE WINDOW REGULATOR AND GLASS WERE REDESIGNED BY THE CORPORATION, WHICH WAS A RESULT OF THE WINDOWS MALFUNCTIONING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL OF THE WINDOWS IN THE VEHICLE WOULD RANDOMLY FALL DOWN INTO THE DOOR AND FAIL TO COME BACK UP. HE WAS FORCED TO TAPE THE WINDOWS IN THE UP POSITION IN HIS VEHICLE. THROUGH RESEARCH, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON FAILURE. HE SPOKE WITH A SERVICE TECHNICIAN AT THE DEALER WHO ADMITTED THAT MANY OTHER CONSUMERS EXPERIENCE THE SAME DEFECT AS WELL. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THE WINDOW REGULATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE SPUTTERED AND DIED. THE REPAIR ESTIMATE INDICATED THAT A VALVE SPRING BROKE INSIDE THE #5 CYLINDER, CAUSED BY A JUMP IN TIMING. THIS REPAIR/PROBLEM IS DIRECTLY LINKED TO A JEEP/CHRYSLER TECHNICAL BULLETIN. *TR

WINDOW REGULATORS FAIL. JAN OF 08 RT REAR WINDOW FELL INTO DOOR PANEL. JULY OF 08 THE LEFT REAR WINDOW DROPPED INTO DOOR PANEL. NOW, JUST AS 3 YEAR WARRANTY IS OVER THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT FELL. HAVE GONE TO DEALER AND SINCE I AM NO WHERE CLOSE TO HAVING WARRANTY MILES ON VEHICLE THEY SAID THEY WOULD DO A COURTESY REPAIR. BUT, SINCE 3 HAVE FAILED I ASSUME THE 4TH WILL GO NEXT AND WHO WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT FAILED REGULATOR REPLACEMENT *TR

BOUGHT A USED 2006 JEEP LIBERTY WITH 13K MILES. TWO TIMES THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOWS HAVE FAILED AND FALLEN INTO THE DOOR WHILE DRIVING ALONG THE FREEWAY. CHRYSLER DEALER AND INTERNET RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS ISSUE RECURS SEVERAL TIMES ON THIS MODEL. PARTS WERE REPLACED BY DEALER BUT THIS ISSUE APPARENTLY COULD REOCCUR. THE ISSUE IS A DEFECTIVE DESIGN IN THE WINDOW REGULATOR THAT REGULARLY FAILS. *TR

I HAVE AN 06 JEEP LIBERTY GOT IN OCT 06. IN NOV 06 JEEPS DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER DOOR WAS JAMMED IN WOULD NOT OPEN OR CLOSE. SAME TIME I TOOK IT IN THE WINDOW REGULATOR BROKE. SO ONLY I MONTH OWNING THIS VEHICLE I ALREADY HAD PROBLEMS I HAVE FIXED THE WINDOWS 10 TIMES THE BLOWER 2 TIMES AND NO ONE SEEMS TO HELP ME I'VE BEEN ASKING FOR HELP SINCE I GOT IT AND STILL NOTHING. *TR

MY KEY LOCKS UP AND I CANNOT TURN IT ALL THE WAY BACK TO RELEASE THE KEY. THEREFORE MY KEY REMAINS IN THE IGNITION. I AM ABLE TO START THE CAR BUT UNABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY. *TR

BACK WINDOWS KEEP FALLING IN TO THE BACK DOORS. I HAVE TO REPLACE THE WINDOW REGULATORS EVERY SIX MONTHS. I'M ON MY SECOND REPLACEMENT DRIVERS SIDE BACK WINDOW AND TREE TRIPS TO FIX IT IN ONE YEAR. THEN IN ONE YEAR THE PASSENGERS SIDE FELL IN AN I HAD TO REPLACE THIS WIDOW REGULATOR TOO. THIS IS BECOMING COSTLY AND SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT IN THIS MODEL 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. I'M GETTING REALLY TIRED OF REPAIRING THESE WINDOW REGULATORS. *TR

WHEN THE WINDOW REGULATOR BREAKS ON A JEEP LIBERTY, THE CABLE ASSEMBLY CAN BREAK OFF OF THE WINDOW. THE CABLE THEN CAN COME OUT OF THE DOOR LOCKING ASSEMBLY IF YOU TRY TO USE THE WINDOW CLOSE SWITCH. THIS WILL PREVENT THE DOOR FROM BEING OPENED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE SO FAR IN 18 MONTHS. IF THE VEHICLE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT AND EMS NEEDED TO GET A PERSON OUT OF THE VEHICLE, THERE IS NO WAY THEY COULD IN THE ABOVE CONDITIONS. THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THAT ARE OUT THERE ON THIS PROBLEM ARE STAGGERING. PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED BY JEEPS LACK OF RESPONSE. *TR

THE DRIVER'S REAR WINDOW REGULATOR BROKE AND NOW THE WINDOW WILL NOT GO UP AND DOWN AND SLIDES DOWN BY ITSELF. CHRYSLER ONLY SELLS THE MOTOR AND REGULATOR AND EVERYTHING AS ONE PACKAGE, SO EVEN THOUGH I CAN HEAR THE MOTOR WORKING AND IT IS MOST LIKELY A BROKEN PIECE OF PLASTIC, BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT JEEPS USE FOR REGULATORS, THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM IM GOING TO HAVE TO PAY 300 DOLLARS TO BUY EVERYTHING. IF CHRYSLER WOULD USE A METAL BRACKET AS A REGULATOR INSTEAD OF A CHEAP PIECE OF PLASTIC THERE WOULD NOT BE SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH JEEP LIBERTY'S WINDOW REGULATORS BREAKING. AND SINCE THEY DON'T SELL REGULATORS BY THEMSELVES IT IS ALMOST LIKE CHRYSLER IS DOING IT JUST TO MAKE MORE MONEY AND THAT THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS AT ALL. IT IS A LITTLE BIT RIDICULOUS THAT THEY HAVE NOT RECALLED THESE SHOTTY QUALITY REGULATORS OR EVEN ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM AT ALL. *TR

1. NO UNUSUAL EVENTS, WINDOW (REAR DRIVER'S SIDE) SELDOM CYCLED IN USE. 2. 1 OCCURRENCE, WINDOW GAPED SLOWLY FROM ABOUT AN INCH TO THREE INCHES WHEN CAR WAS STATIONARY. AND WOULD FALL COMPLETELY DOWN WHEN DRIVING. CONSEQUENCES? INTERIOR OF THE CAR WAS EXPOSED TO WEATHER. 3. REGULATOR FAILURE DIAGNOSED. PART REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY.*TR

2006 JEEP LIBERTY. I HAVE HAD THE WINDOW REGULATOR GO OUT IN MY CAR CURRENTLY 5 DIFFERENT TIMES. I AM ALSO CERTAIN THAT MY DRIVER WINDOW IS ABOUT TO GO OUT AGAIN AS I HAVE TO HELP LEAD IT WHEN I PUSH THE UP BOTTOM. I TRY TO USE IT AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE. WHEN THE REGULATORS WHEN OUT THE FIRST THREE TIMES MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY SO I TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR. NOW THAT THEY HAVE BROKEN TWO MORE TIMES, WITHIN TWO WEEKS, I FEEL THAT THIS IS A REAL ISSUE. WHAT CONCERNS ME IS THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN WHO ARE IN THE BACK SEAT WHEN THESE BREAK AND THE GLASS FALLS INTO THE DOOR, WHAT IF IT WAS TO BREAK, WHAT IF IT WAS STORMING OUTSIDE. IT CONCERNS ME THAT ONE OF THEM COULD BE INJURED. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT WHEN I WENT ONLINE TO DO SOME RESEARCH THERE ARE MANY POST REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE, ALSO A PETITION PUT FORWARD WITH 114 SIGNATURES ASKING FOR A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE, YET CHRYSLER JEEP HAS YET TO DO ONE. I THINK WE NEED HELP TO GET THIS ITEM RECALLED, HAVE A BETTER PRODUCT INSTALLED IN OUR CARS, AND PROVIDE A SAFE FORM OF TRANSPORTATION FOR OUR FAMILIES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

THE WINDOW REGULATORS IN MY JEEP HAVE BROKE. THIS IS THE 4TH ONE FOR ME TO FIX. EACH TIME IT'S A DIFFERENT WINDOW. I HAVE NO CHILDREN SO MY BACK SEAT RARELY HAS PATRONS. IT'S NOT LIKE THOSE DOORS/WINDOWS ARE EVER USED. *TR

2006 JEEP LIBERTY REAR DRIVERSIDE WINDOW DROPPED IN TO THE DOOR FRAME WHILE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY ON 6-28-09. AT 60MPH THE NOISE ALMOST CAUSED ME SO CRASH!! TOLD IT WAS WINDOW REGULTOR...... IT WOULD COST ME 500 TO REPLACE. I ONLY HAVE 38,XXX MILES ON MY JEEP .......AFTER READING ONLINE THIS IS HAS BEEN A LARGE PROBLEM FOR A WHILE.... WHICH JUST SNUCK UP ON ME YESTURDAY. PLEASE REVIEW THIS WINDOW CONCERN THANK YOU MYRA ROOKS WILLARD MISSOURI *TR

I HAVE HAD THE WINDOW REGULATORS ON THREE WINDOWS FAIL 4 TIMES SINCE SEPT. 2007. I CAME OUT OF WORK TO FIND THAT THE WINDOW HAS DROPPED. *TR

2006 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED WITH 2.7L CR DIESEL ENGINE. TRANSMISSION "HUNTS" FOR A GEAR WHILE DRIVING 50-TO-60 MPH, FREQUENTLY UP- AND DOWN-SHIFTING. PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. HAVE REPORTED PROBLEM TO DEALER BUT THEY FIND NO PROBLEM. *TR

LOCKS CONTINUOUSLY UNLOCKED AND LOCKED, WHICH DRAINED THE BATTERY. CAR WOULD NOT START OR EVEN TURN OVER. REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY DID NOT WORK. (IDENTICAL TO THE 2004 RECALL). *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE COMPONENT FOR THE POWER WINDOWS SNAPPED. AS A RESULT, THE WINDOWS ROLL DOWN, BUT WILL NOT ROLL BACK UP. THE FAILURE PREVIOUSLY OCCURRED TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR AND FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS, WHICH WERE REPAIRED. CURRENTLY, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW IS NOT WORKING. THE VEHICLE IS BEING TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000. UPDATED 062909 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER FIXED THE PROBLEM. UPDATED 07/07/09.*JB

I WENT OUT SUNDAY MORNING, TO GO TO CHURCH AND MY REAR WINDOW OF MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY HAD FALLEN DOWN INTO THE DOOR. THE DEALER SAID THEY HAD SERVICED THE PROBLEM ON OTHER JEEP LIBERTY'S AND IN 2006 THE MECHANISM HAD BEEN CHANGED. THE COST OF THE REPAIR WOULD DEPEND ON WHICH MECHANISM WAS IN MY VEHICLE. MY SON HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS 2003 JEEP LIBERTY RENEGADE. I WAS LOOKING AT SOME REVIEWS ONLINE AND RUDY ALSO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. SINCE THIS IS A PROBLEM THE COMPANY KNEW ABOUT AND DID NOT LET THE CONSUMER KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM, I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD BE COMPENSATED FOR THE COST OF THE REPAIR. THE COST WAS $376.66. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO KNOW IF I WILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW? IF YES , THE MECHANISM SHOULD ALSO BE REPLACED AT THEIR COST. SINCERELY, _______ *TR

LETTER FROM CONGRESSMAN BOUCHER ON BEHALF OF CONSTITUENT CONCERNING HIS PURCHASE OF A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. *NJ THE VEHICLE WAS SOLD BY THE CONSUMER TO ANOTHER CONSUMER WHO EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION AND SUBSEQUENTLY HAD AN ACCIDENT. THE CONSUMER STATED EVERYTHING WAS FINE UNTIL SHE TRIED TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN AT THE BOTTOM OF A STEEP HILL. THE CONSUMER REALIZED THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SLOWING DOWN AND BARELY MADE THE TURN. EVEN AFTER THE CONSUMER REMOVED HER FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR, THE VEHICLE WAS STILL ACCELERATING. THE CONSUMER STATED SHE TRIED SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES, BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE VEHICLE FINALLY STOPPED WHEN THE CONSUMER HIT A STOP SIGN AND THEN PROCEEDED TO FLIP OVER ON THE RIGHT SIDE. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV LOUDLY AND ONLY STOPPED AFTER THE CONSUMER TURNED THE IGNITION OFF. *JB

2006 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED 4X4, ALL 4 OF THE WINDOWS HAVE HAD REGULATOR FAILURE CAUSING THE WINDOWS TO FALL DOWN INTO THE DOOR. THESE HAVE ALL OCCURRED AT DIFFERENT TIMES AND EVEN WITHOUT ANYONE BEING IN THE VEHICLE. ONE OF THE RECENTLY REPLACED REGULATORS THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN REPAIRED ONCE HAVE FAILED AGAIN WHILE MY WIFE WAS AT WORK. SHE CAME OUT TO LEAVE WORK IN THE DARK AND AS SHE WENT TO DRIVE OFF SHE NOTICED A WINDOW IN THE REAR WAS DOWN. SHE DID NOT PUT IT DOWN IT FAILED AND FELL ON ITS OWN WHILE INSIDE OF HER PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT AGAIN. THIS IS A HAZARD THAT WOULD HAVE ALLOWED SOMEONE TO ENTER HER VEHICLE AND EITHER STEAL FROM THE VEHICLE OR ATTACK HER. SO ALL 4 POWER WINDOWS HAVE FAILED AND NOW THEY ARE STARTING TO FAIL AGAIN. WARRANTY WILL EXPIRE THIS OCTOBER AND WE FEAR WE WILL BE LEFT WITH CONSTANT REPAIRS AND SHE CONSTANTLY WORRIES ABOUT HER SAFETY KNOWING IT WILL MOST LIKELY HAPPEN AGAIN. REAR GATE ALSO HAD A LOUD RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM IT AND AFTER IT WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED BY DEALER UNDER WARRANTY WIFE COULD NOT GET THE GATE OPEN TO LOAD GROCERIES. UPON INSPECTION BY ME I FOUND THAT THE CHRYSLER JEEP DEALERSHIP JUST WRAPPED THE GATE LATCH STRIKER WITH ELECTRICAL TAPE INSTEAD OF REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE LATCH CAUSING THE DOOR LATCH TO BIND AND NOT OPEN. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO EITHER BE RECALLED OR ENFORCE A MANDATORY TSB ON A WORKING REVISION OF NEW PARTS. *TR

ABS, ESP, AND MAIN BRAKE LIGHT FLASHING ALARM CHIME GOING OFF. BEEN TO DEALER TWICE. BCM HAS BEEN CHANGED TWICE, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAS BEEN REPLACED. NO DX CODES BEING SENT SO DEALER CAN'T DO ANYTHING. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK PRESSURE BUILDS IN THE TANK AND FORCES THE GAS BACK OUT UNDER PRESSURE CREATING A SPRAY THE COVERS THE PERSON FILLING THE TANK, AND SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS CAUSED BY A BROKEN / CLOGGED FUEL TANK VENT. THIS OCCURS EVERYTIME YOU FILL THE TANK. TRYING TO FILL THE TANK AT A LOW FILL RATE DOESN'T IMPROVE THE SITUATION. *TR

I PURCHASED 4 GOODYEAR TIRES IN OCT 2006,I HAVE A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT,I HAVE LESS THAN 15,000 MILES ON THESE TIRES,I WAS TOLD BY THE GOODYEAR STORE MANAGER THAT THESE TIRES ARE PREMATURELY WEARING, I ASK WHAT COULD BE DONE TO SATISFY THIS AND WAS TOLD IN A LETTER BY GOODYEAR THAT I WOULD HAVE TO BRING IN THE JEEP AND ALL 4 TIRES WOULD HAVE TO BE REMOVED FROM THE JEEP AND BE SENT TO GOODYEAR FOR FURTHER EVALUATION, I ASKED HOW AM I GOING TO GET MY JEEP HOME AND I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE TIRES, I EXPLAINED THAT I AM A DISABLED VETERAN AND I COULDN'T AFFORD TO JUST PICK UP AND BUY 4 NEW TIRES, I AM ONLY ASKING FOR REPLACEMENT TIRES. *TR

POWER WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED THIS IS SECOND TIME A WINDOW REGULATOR HAS FAILED ONE BACK AND ONE FRONT WINDOW. THIS IS NOT ONLY A HAZARD BUT COULD CAUSE MORE DAMAGE IF RAINING. THERE IS ALSO A CHILD HAZARD IF THE WINDOW CAME DOWN AT THE WRONG TIME. BAD PART STILL UNDER WARRANTY THEY WILL FIX BUT NEED NEW TYPE PART. *TR

WHERE TO BEGIN...WE HAVE HAD THE WINDSHIELD WASHER RESERVOIR REPLACED TWICE, ALL 4 WINDOW MOTORS AND ONE OF THEM TWICE, AIR CONDITIONER TWICE, SOME SMALL PINION OR SOME DEVICE THAT TOOK ALL POWER FROM THE VEHICLE, PLUS THE RECALLS, ALL THE DIRECTIONALS ON THE AIR VENTS, I HAVE HAD THIS CAR IN THE SHOP SO MUCH, THAT I THINK IN ANOTHER 6 MONTHS I WILL HAVE A BRAND NEW CAR AGAIN....I AM JUST THANKFUL IT IS UNDER WARRANTY...BUT THIS CAR HAS BURNT US ON JEEP!! *TR

THE REGULATOR MOTOR OF THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW MALFUNCTIONED AND THE WINDOW SLID DOWN THE TRACK. CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE OF THIS DEFECT CAUSED THE DOOR LATCH TO BRAKE, MAKING THE DOOR INOPERABLE. THE CONSEQUENCE IS A SAFETY HAZARD IF AN ACCIDENT OR ROLLOVER REQUIRED THE PASSENGER TO EXIT THE AUTOMOBILE. THE FAILURE OF REGULATOR ELECTRIC WINDOW MOTORS IS COMMONPLACE ON CHRYSLER PRODUCTS, WHEREAS, THESE OCCURRENCES ARE ALL OVER THE INTERNET. THE DEALER FIXED THE PROBLEM AT A COST OF $600. THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF CHRYSLER WARRANTY, AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY INSURANCE CARRIER WOULD ONLY COVER THE MOTOR. THEY DID NOT COVER THE BROKEN DOOR LATCH, OR THE WINDOW GLASS. AFTER SEVERAL CONVERSATIONS WITH CHRYSLER, THEY ADMITTED TO HAVING A RUNNING CHANGE IN THE ENGINEERING OF THE ELECTRIC WINDOW ASSEMBLY, AND YOU CANNOT BUY THE REGULATOR MOTOR SEPARATELY. YOU MUST BUY THE GLASS WINDOW AND THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY TOGETHER. I BELIEVE THE HISTORY OF THIS FAILURE WARRANTS A RECALL BY THE MANUFACTURER FOR SAFETY CONCERNS WITH THE DOOR LATCH BREAKING AS A RESULT OF BAD ENGINEERING. *TR

CLUTCH SAFETY SWITCH ON 2006 JEEP LIBERTY (3.7 L GAS ENGINE) FAILED AFTER 40 K. IRONICALLY, THIS REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE MASTER CYLINDER (COST $375). WOULD IGNORE PROBLEM, BUT THIS ALSO DEACTIVATES THE CRUISE CONTROL. SILLY DESIGN IN THAT A SIMPLE SWITCH FAILURE REQUIRES HYDRAULIC SYSTEM WORK. *TR

MY AUTOMATIC WINDOWS KEEP BREAKING - THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IN. *TR

2006 JEEP LIBERTY 4X4 ENGINE MISFIRES DUE TO POOR VALVE DESIGN WITH ONLY 26,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. FOUND CODES PO 301, 302, 303, 304 (CYLINDER MISFIRES). REMOVED CYLINDER HEADS AND FOUND INTAKE VALVES TO BE FAILING, REPLACED INTAKE VALVES AND KEEPERS AND LAPPED VALVES. CHRYSLER KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM, REDESIGNED THE VALVES DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL NOTICE AND THE VEHICLE IS NOW 4 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

1. ACCIDENTALLY PUSHED REAR WINDOW DOWN SWITCH RATHER THAN FRONT DRIVERS SIDE SWITCH 2. GRINDING NOISE AND WINDOW IS NOW DISENGAGED FROM DRIVE DROPPING WINDOW 3. WILL NOT REPAIR. THOUSANDS OF HITS ON GOOGLE FOR PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH CHEAP PLASTIC WINDOW TO ACTUATOR CONNECTION. STARTLED WHEN WINDOW DROPPED IN REAR UNEXPECTEDLY. *TR

WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED CAUSING WINDOW GLASS TO FALL OPEN. OUR FAMILY PET EXITED THE WINDOW WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING. THESE WINDOW REGULATORS FAIL EASILY AND WITHOUT NOTICE. WINDOWS WILL SUDDENLY JUST DROP, OR OPEN. THIS CAN ALLOW A PET OR CHILD TO EXIT THE VEHICLE WHILE MOVING. ALSO A SECURITY HAZARD AS THE WINDOW REGULATOR CAN BE BROKEN EASILY BY PLACING BOTH HANDS ON THE WINDOW AND PUSHING DOWN CAUSING THE PLASTIC PARTS IN THE REGULATOR TO FAIL. THE REGULATOR HAS TO BE REPLACED - IF DONE BY A DEALERSHIP CAN COST $450 PER WINDOW. THE ARE MANY DOCUMENTED CASES OF MULTIPLE WINDOW REGULATORS FAILING ON ALL YEAR MODELS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION AND A CRASH OCCURRED WHILE TRAVELING 40 MPH. THE BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE AND THE VEHICLE DROVE INTO AN EMBANKMENT AND ROLLED OVER. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO SERIOUS INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A BODY SHOP AND THEN TO THE DEALER; HOWEVER, THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANY ERROR CODES FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSIST, BUT OFFERED TO SEND A CRASH INVESTIGATOR. AFTER SENDING THE INVESTIGATOR, THE MANUFACTURER CONCLUDED THAT THEY COULD DO NOTHING MORE TO ASSIST. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 33,348.

WANTED A SMOKE AND ROLLED DOWN THE REAR WINDOW A LITTLE BY MISTAKE. TRIED TO ROLL IT UP AND NOTHING. LOOK BACK AND THE WINDOW IS SITTING HALFWAY DOWN. PULLED OVER TO TRY AND GET THE WINDOW UP AND THE DOOR WONT OPEN. PIECE OF THE WINDOW ASSEMBLY IS INTERFERING WITH THE LOCK BECAUSE THE KIDS GOT IN THAT DOOR WHEN WE LEFT. DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. IT OPENS 1/2 INCH AND STICKS. *TR

INITIALLY VEHICLE BEGAN MAKING A REAR CLUNKING SOUND OVER SMALL BUMPS IN THE ROAD. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES. NO PROBLEM FOUND. ON MARCH 13,2009 WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON HIGHWAY, VEHICLE BEGAN TO SWAY FROM SIDE TO SIDE UNCONTROLLABLE AT SPEEDS OF 40-45 MPH. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP. SERVICE MANAGER DROVE VEHICLE AND AGREED SOMETHING WAS SERIOUSLY DEFECTIVE. DEALER HAS REPLACED SEVERAL COMPONENTS UNDER WARRANTY, YET VEHICLE STILL HAS SWAYING PROBLEM. VEHICLE IS STILL AT DEALERSHIP SINCE MARCH 13,2009. DEALER SAID THEY ARE STILL WAITING ON AN ANSWER FROM CHRYSLER/JEEP. I EMAILED CHRYSLER SEVERAL TIMES COMPLAINING OF PRIOR PROBLEMS. RECENTLY DEALER WAS AT A LOST FOR ANSWERS AND FELT THE NEW SHOCKS THAT WERE INSTALLED BY OWNER WERE DEFECTIVE. OTHER SHOCKS WERE INSTALLED BY THE DEALER AND STILL HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. DEALER THEN BEGAN TO BLAME THE NEW TIRES. STILL THE SAME PROBLEM. VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ON THE ROAD. UNCONTROLLABLE AND UNSTABLE. VEHICLE NOW SITS IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAITING ON THE MANUFACTURER TO SOLVE THE ISSUE. VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. *TR

DEALERSHIP STATED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY FRONT ABS BRAKES. STILL AFTER 14,746 MILES GIVE OR TAKE A FEW MY BRAKES STILL HAVE PERIODIC PULSATION. I SHOULD OF WROTE THIS COMPLAINT 14,746 MILES AGO MY VEHICLE NOW HAS 49,175 I BOUGHT IT 34,429 THANK GOD FOR EXTENDED WARRANTIES BECAUSE OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE NO WINDOWS BECAUSE AFTER BUYING A $16,000 VEHICLE I COULD NOT AFFORD TO REPLACE ALL THE WINDOW REGULATORS THAT BROKE OH AND I HAD TO HAVE A FUEL PUMP MODULE REPLACED IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM MY MAIN CONCERN ON THIS HEAP IM MEAN JEEP ARE THE BREAKS FRONT AND REAR AND THAT CHRYSLER JEEP WILL NOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE PROBLEMS UNTIL A PERSON HAS DIED. THERE ARE MANY OTHER PROBLEMS COSMETIC PROBLEMS LIKE THE INTERIOR AND HEATER VENTS. BUT NOT LIFE THREATENING. I ALSO HAVE MANY CONCERNS WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BUT AGAIN THE DEALER CROWN MOTORS OF REDDING CALIFORNIA STATES THAT THEY CANT MANIFEST IT THEY CANT FIX IT EVERY TIME I GET MY JEEP BACK FROM THEM IT RUNS WORSE THAT IT DID PRIOR. *TR

MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY CRD HAS HAD 4 WINDOW REGULATORS FAIL IN 28 MONTHS. I HAVE 39,800 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR FRACTURED, WHICH CAUSED THE CABLES TO SNAP AND THE WINDOW TO FAIL. SHE CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE FRONT WINDOW REGULATORS WERE IN THE PROCESS OF FAILING. THE REPAIR WOULD COST $329 FOR EACH WINDOW AND ASSOCIATED PARTS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS COMMON FOR THIS YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL VEHICLE. AS OF MARCH 12, 2009, THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 80 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. UNEXPECTEDLY, THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW GLASS BEGAN TO FALL INSIDE THE DOOR PANEL. THE DRIVER IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO SECURE THE GLASS WITH A HEAVY DUTY ADHESIVE. THE AUTHORIZED DEALER STATED THAT THE WINDOW REGULATOR WAS THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE AND WOULD COST $450 TO REPAIR. THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR SO THE CONTACT SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT TO SECURE THE WINDOW GLASS IN THE INTERIM. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE UNAVAILABLE.

POWER WINDOW FAILURE. FRONT LEFT TWO DIFFERENT TIMES. REAR LEFT TWO DIFFERENT TIMES. SAME PROBLEM EACH TIME. WINDOW STOPS GOING UP OR DOWN WITH POWER SWITCH AND THEN WINDOW FALLS INTO THE DOOR. SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. FIRST INSTANCE 1/3/07 10,182 MILES: 2ND INSTANCE 4/20/07 16,789 MILES; 3RD INSTANCE 11/08 61,777 MILES; 4TH INSTANCE 1/09 64,000 MILES. FIRST TWO TIMES WERE REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. LAST TWO TIMES ARE MY RESPONSIBILITY. (VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY DUE TO HIGH MILEAGE.) *TR

THE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED TO 65 MPH. NO AMOUNT OF PUSHING ON THE BRAKES MADE THE CAR STOP. SHE WAS GOING DOWN A MOUNTAIN, WHIZZED PAST A STOP SIGN, AND WENT AROUND ANOTHER CURVE UNTIL SHE CAME TO A MAJOR STATE ROAD WITH LOTS OF SPEEDING CARS. SHE HAD TO MAKE A DECISION EITHER TO TRY TO MERGE ONTO THE ROAD OR PLOW INTO THE MOUNTAIN. SHE PLOWED INTO THE MOUNTAIN AND CAME TO A STOP WHERE SHE HIT A STOP SIGN AT THE END OF THE ROAD INCHES FROM THE ONGOING TRAFFIC. BOTH OF HER FEET WERE ON THE BRAKES THE ENTIRE TIME. THE VEHICLE FLIPPED ON ITS SIDE AND THE ENGINE WAS STILL ROARING. *JB

HELLO, I BOUGHT A 2006 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT IN ROMANIA KJ / LE85 (THE LIBERTY 4X4 JEEP FOR EUROPE), FROM CASA AUTO ROMANIA: / 7 FEBRUARY 2007. MY TECHNICAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR, STILL IN WARRANTY (2 YEARS WARRANTY IN ROMANIA) ARE: -THE ESP/BAS WARNING LAMP COMES ON CONTINUOUSLY WITH ENGINE RUNNING, THE LIGHT REMAINS ON AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 30MPS. FIRST, THIS PROBLEM WAS RANDOMLY APPEARING, BUT NOW IT APPEARS EACH TIME I AM DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WITH SPEEDS GREATER THAN 30 MILES/H . -2 TIMES MY ENGINE LOST POWER FOR NO REASON; -THE FUEL CONSUMPTION URBAN: CA 17 L / 100 KM; -THE FUEL CONSUMPTION EXTRA URBAN: CA 12 / /100 KM. MY CAR IS FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THE SERVICE IN THE LAST 6 WEEKS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM ? ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, THE PRIMARY SAFETY SYSTEM OF THIS VEHICLE. FIRST TIME, AFTER 3 WEEKS THEY SAID THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM. I BROUGHT IT BACK NEXT DAY WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. MY CAR IS STILL IN SERVICE. MY GREAT PROBLEM IS THAT MY AUTHORIZED DEALER IS UNABLE OR DON'T WANT TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS, WAITING TO EXPIRE THE WARRANTY OF MY CAR ? IN FEW DAYS. THEY DON?T WANT TO OFFER WARRANTY FOR THE PIECES THEY REPLACED, THEY SAY THE WARRANTY OF THIS PIECES REPLACED EXPIRES WITH THE WARRANTY OF THE CAR. I'M AFRAID THIS PROBLEM IS UNSOLVABLE FOR CHRYSLER LLC, AND MY CAR IS AN UNSAFE CAR. ALSO, I WANT YOU TO HELP ME WITH THE SERIAL NUMBER OF THE COMPONENTS OF MY CAR: WIND SCREEN, BATTERY, PISTONS,?. I FOUND THIS LINKS ON INTERNET WITH 2006 LIBERTY JEEP OWNERS WITH THE SAME

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WOULD WARM UP, THE VEHICLE MADE A CLINGING SOUND THAT APPEARED TO ORIGINATE FROM THE BLOWER. WITHIN THREE DAYS, THE SOUND WORSENED AND THE STEERING BECAME STIFF. THE VEHICLE WOULD VEER TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT AND WAS SEVERELY OUT OF ALIGNMENT. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT BOTH OF THE WHEEL BEARINGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT IT WAS VERY UNCOMMON FOR BOTH WHEEL BEARINGS TO BECOME DEFECTIVE. IT WAS ASSUMED THAT THE WHEEL BEARINGS WERE ORIGINALLY DEFECTIVE. THE WHEEL BEARINGS WERE REPLACED BY THE DEALER, BUT SHE BELIEVES THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 70,000.

2006 JEEP LIBERTY WINDOW FELL DOWN WITHOUT HAVING ANY REASON. I HAVE READ ON THIS WEBSITE THAT AN INVESTIGATION DOES NOT NEED A SPECIFIC NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS TO START. I AM JUST WONDERING WHY A PART THAT COST FROM 350-600 TO REPLACE AND HAS A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS DOES NOT HAVE AN INVESTIGATION. THIS TO ME SEEMS LIKE A ONE WAY FOR THE CHRYSLER DEALER DECIDED TO START TO MAKE MONEY. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD ALL FOUR WINDOW REGULATORS REPLACED IN THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF AND NOW THE DRIVER SIDE IS DOWN AGAIN. WHEN WILL THE MANUFACTURE OR SAFERCAR GOING TO STEP TO THE PLATE AND DO WHAT THEY SAY THEY WILL DO? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. IN SEPTEMBER OF 2006, THE ENGINE MODULE IN THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER RECALL. AFTER THE REPAIR, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT PROPERLY. THE REPAIR ALSO CAUSED THE MOTOR TO REV VERY HIGH AND THE VEHICLE TO PULL HARDER AND IDLE. THE VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE FROM 5 TO 10 MPH WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS NOT DEPRESSED. THE FAILURES OCCURRED EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN. IN SNOWY WEATHER CONDITIONS, THE FAILURES WORSENED.
