2006 Jeep Liberty complaints

2006 JEEP LIBERTY - GAS TANK FUELING ISSUE. WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE AT THE SERVICE STATION THE FUEL PUMP WILL NOT SHUT-OFF AND GASOLINE OVERFLOWS FROM TANK. MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS TRIED, PROBLEM EXISTS AT ALL FUEL PUMPS. POTENTIAL PERSONAL INJURY OR FIRE HAZARD WITH GASOLINE OVERFLOWING FROM TANK. JEEP CHYRSLER DEALERSHIP CANNOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM AFTER 5 VISITS TO DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGES PROBLEM AND HAS HAD JEEP CHYRSLER ENGINEERING HAS BEEN INVOLVED WITH NO RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. POTENTIAL PERSONAL INJURY OR FIRE HAZARD WITH GAS OVERFLOWING FROM TANK. FIRST REPORTED TO JEEP CHYRSLER IN DEC 2008 AND PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. DEALER HAS REPLACED GAS TANK 3 TIMES AND NEW GAS TANKS DO NOT FILL PROPERLY. JEEP CHRYSLER INDICATES THAT DESIGN CHANGE HAS OCCURRED ON REPLACEMENT TANKS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH 2006 VEHICLE. FAULTY GASOLINE TANK CURRENTLY INSTALLED ON VEHICLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. WITHIN SIX MONTHS, THE WINDOW REGULATORS THAT POWER THE WINDOWS FAILED. FOUR DIFFERENT REGULATORS HAD TO BE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, ALL OF THE WINDOWS ON THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE WARRANTY EXPIRES IN MARCH OF 2009 AND THE REGULATORS CONTINUE TO FAIL. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR THE REGULATORS FOR FREE DURING THE NEXT REPAIR AND THAT NO RECALL WAS AVAILABLE FOR THE WINDOWS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MOTOR THAT CONTROLS THE POWER WINDOWS WAS DEFECTIVE AND STOPPED WORKING NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE MOTOR IN THE DOOR EACH TIME. THIS ONLY REMEDIES THE FAILURE TEMPORARILY AND LASTS APPROXIMATELY 2-3 MONTHS BEFORE IT FAILS AGAIN. THE MOTOR HAS BEEN REPLACED AT LEAST FIVE TIMES. THE CONTACT HAS FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME FAILURE AND BELIEVES THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DEFECT. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 65,000. UPDATED 02/24/09. *LJ UPDATED 02/26/09.*JB

WHEN CHANGING BRAKE PADS, I NOTICED A BUBBLE ON THE SIDE OF THE BRAKE LINE. ALL 4 BRAKE LINES WERE INVOLVED. THE BUBBLE WAS ON THE RUBBER PORTION OF THE LINE CLOSE TO THE CALIPER. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE LINES REPLACED. THEIR INSPECTION IDENTIFIED A FIFTH LINE WITH A RUPTURE ALSO. ALL WERE REPLACED. SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY COMPONENT I ASKED IF JEEP WAS REPLACING THE PARTS AND WAS INFORMED IT WAS NOT COVERED BY THEM OR MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. THIS VEHICLE IS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY AND HAD 48,870 MILES AT THE TIME. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY 4X4. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE CONTACT ACCIDENTALLY LOWERED THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW. SHE ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE THE WINDOW, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. SHE PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO PHYSICALLY PUSH THE WINDOW BACK UP; HOWEVER, THE WINDOW FELL INTO THE DOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN IN COLD WEATHER WITH THE WINDOW DOWN AND THE CONTACT'S TODDLER IN THE BACK SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A LOCAL MECHANIC AT HER RESIDENCE AND SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THE REGULATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED HER TO CALL THE SENIOR DEPARTMENT, BUT SHE RECEIVED NO ASSISTANCE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 46,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,975.

REPEATED WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURE. *TR

IGNITION SWITCH BINDS UP INTERMITTENTLY ALSO SHIFTER AND STEERING WHEEL DO NOT LOCK UP AND CAN MOVE SHIFTER FROM PARK WITHOUT PUSHING BRAKE. ADJUSTED SHIFT CABLE BUT DID NOT SOLVE PROBLEM. FOUND THAT SHIFTER AND CABLE ASSEMBLY WERE WORN. REMOVED AND REPLACED SHIFT INTERLOCK CABLE AND GEAR SHIFT ASSEMBLY. TEST OPERATION OK. *TR

THIS IS MY THIRD COMPLAINT FOR THE SAME ON -GOING PROBLEM. THE ABS/BAS, ESP LAMP WILL COME ON WHEN GOING 45-50 MPH OR MEDIUM ACCELERATION. AT VARIOUS TIME THE ENGINE WILL LOSE POWER. JEEP LIBERTY HAS BEEN TAKEN BACK THREE TIMES TO DEALER. THEY SAID THEY ARE UNABLE TO DUPILCATE PROBLEM AS THE PROBLEM MUST NE ACTIVE. THE CODES ARE PRESENT, BUT NOT ACTIVE. I'VE WRITTEN CHRYSLER/JEEP WITH NOT HELP OR ASSISTANCE. VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. *TR

THIS IS MY SECOND TIME IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. MY LAST COMPLAINT WAS THE ABS/BAS, ESP LAMP COMING ON. MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 1-1/2 WEEKS. THE DEALER SAYS THE CODES ARE STORED, BUT THEY MUST BE ACTIVE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. THE DAY AFTER PICKING UP MY JEEP LIBERTY, I WAS DRIVING ON THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AT 45-50 MPH, THE SAME LAMPS CAME ON. NOW I AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR FEAR OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 24,888. I RECENTLY WROTE TO CHRYSLER TO COMPLAIN. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY IN FIRST GEAR, IT ROLLED BACKWARDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, BUT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. RECENTLY, THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN FIRST GEAR AND WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE ROLLED AWAY AGAIN AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL ABLE TO BE DRIVEN AND SUSTAINED MODERATE DAMAGES. THE POLICE WAS CALLED TO THE SCENE AND A REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WILL BE TAKEN TO A COLLISION CENTER FOR REPAIRS. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 24,010.

ABS/BAS, ESP AND TRACTION CONTROL CONTINUES TO COME ON. THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THE DEALER IS VERY COOPERATIVE. THEY CONTINUE TO WORK WITH CHRYSLER AND JEEP, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD TIME BACK TO THE DEALER. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 24,000 MILES. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY IN JANUARY 2007. A FEW MONTHS LATER 3 OF THE AUTOMATIC WINDOWS WOULD NOT WORK. DEALER REPLACED THE ACTUATOR FOR FREE. SINCE THEN 2 MY WINDOWS HAVE BEEN STUCK GOING UP LIKE THEY ARE OFF TRACK. DRIVER SIDE FRONT AND BACK WINDOW NEED TO HAVE ACTUATOR REPLACED AGAIN. BACK DRIVER SIDE WINDOW FELL COMPLETELY DOWN AND WON'T ROLL UP. PASSENGER FRONT WINDOW HAS NEEDED NEW ACTUATOR BECAUSE IT SOMETIMES WON'T ROLL UP. I WILL BE FINALLY TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND HOPEFULLY GETTING THE ACTUATORS REPLACED FOR FREE SINCE THEY HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE THE ENTIRE TIME I HAVE OWNED THE CAR. THERE ARE LOTS OF LITTLE PIECES HERE AND THERE THAT FALL OFF THE CAR AND LITTLE THINGS THAT DON'T WORK. IT IS REALLY A VERY CHEAPLY MADE CAR. *TR

I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE WINDOW REGULATORS REPLACED ON ALL 4 WINDOWS, WITH THE LEFT REAR REPLACED TWICE. THE FIRST INSTANCE WAS AT 28,000 MILES, AND THE SECOND EPISODE OCCURRED AT 33,000 MILES. A FINAL INCIDENCE OCCURRED AT 42,000 MILES. I WAS TOLD THAT JEEP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT HAPPENS IN HOT AREAS (LIKE THE DESERT). I WAS TOLD TO LEAVE MY WINDOWS CRACKED OPEN SO AS TO PREVENT THE BUILD-UP OF HEAT. THESE EVENTS HAPPEN AS I DRIVE, AND IN ONE CASE, IT HAPPENED THAT THE WINDOW CAME DOWN WHILE MY WIFE WAS AT WORK, AND SHE FOUND IT AFTER A FULL DAY. THIS CREATED A BIG SECURITY ISSUE AS THE CAR COULD HAVE BEEN VANDALIZED OR STOLEN. *TR

2006 JEEP LIBERTY SEAT FABRIC STAINS VERY EASILY -- WATER STAINS. NO APPARENT WAY TO CLEAN IT AND KEEP IT CLEAN. ALSO 3 OUT OF 4 WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. *TR

WHILE I WAS AWAY FROM MY JEEP, THE RIGHT REAR WINDOW ROLLED DOWN AND BROKE -- AGAIN. THAT WAS THE 6TH TIME THIS OCCURRED IN THIS VEHICLE TO THESE WINDOWS. NOT MORE THAN 10 MINUTE LATER, THE LEFT REAR WINDOW BROKE, EXACTLY AS THEY ALL HAVE DONE. SO, THIS IS THE 7TH TIME EACH OF 4 WINDOW MECHANISMS IN THIS JEEP HAVE FAILED. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY CRD. THE EGR FAILED AT 17K MILES. IT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. IT FAILED AGAIN AT 52K MILES, I PAID FOR THAT REPLACEMENT. NOW THE ENGINE IS PLUGGED WITH CARBON FROM THE EGR SYSTEM. EACH TIME THERE IS A FAILURE OF THE EGR, IT WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE THE ENGINE TO SUDDENLY "LOOSE POWER" AND RUN AS IF IN A "LIMP" MODE EVEN THOUGHT THE OBD DIAGNOSTICS FAIL TO ACKNOWLEDGE SUCH. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT CHRYSLER WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE. IT CAUSES AIR POLLUTION AND A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE ABILITY TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE NORMALLY IS GREATLY HINDERED WITHOUT WARNING. CONSUMER IS ASKED TO PAY $2,300.00 FOR A TEMPORARY REPAIR FOR THE FACTORY'S POOR DESIGN. *TR

WHEN I PARKED MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY AND ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE KEY AND PULL IT OUT OF THE IGNITION, THE KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT. IT WOULD GO NO FURTHER THAN THE LOCK POSITION. IT APPEARS THAT THE SHIFTING CABLE THAT READS WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK AND ENABLES ONE TO REMOVE THE KEY HAD FAILED AND WAS NOT READING THAT MY CAR WAS ACTUALLY IN PARK. I HAD TO PRESS THE CABLE DOWN IN ORDER TO REMOVE MY KEY. I DID A GOOGLE SEARCH FOR THE PROBLEM AND IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE 2004-2006 JEEP LIBERTY. NOW MY SHIFTER DOES NOT STOP BETWEEN GEARS, IT SIMPLY SLIDES THROUGH THEM WITHOUT HAVING TO PRESS THE BUTTON THAT WOULD NORMALLY LOCK THEM IN PLACE. I CAN SHIFT FROM REVERSE TO PARK WITHOUT PRESSING THE BREAK AND WITHOUT PUSHING THE BUTTON. IN ORDER TO PULL MY KEY OUT I HAVE TO TAKE THE COVER OFF AND PRESS DOWN ON THE CABLE. NOW THAT I NOTICED IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH OTHER JEEP LIBERTY'S, I THINK A RECALL IS IN ORDER. *TR

THE POWER WINDOW FAIL THE GLASS GOING DOWN WHEN YOU TRY TO UP AND THEY REPAIR ABOUT 4 TIMES IN DIFFERENT DOORS THE LAST INCIDENT WAS JULY 15,2008. *TR

2006 JEEP LIBERTY WINDOW REGULATOR WENT BAD. ON AUGUST 20, 2008, I NOTICED THAT MY REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW WAS DOWN A BIT. TRIED TO POWER IT UP, BUT IT WOULD GO. EVENTUALLY SLID DOWN INTO DOOR. I DID SOME INTERNET RESEARCH AND FOUND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THAT HAD TO HAVE REGULATORS REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT BOTH OF THE REAR WINDOWS WERE DOWN AND WOULD NOT ROLL BACK UP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE REGULATORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 9,699 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50. UPDATED 10/14/08 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE REGULATORS WERE REPLACED TWICE. UPDATED 10/23/08. *JB

NUMEROUS MECHANICAL PROBLEMS ALL DASH LIGHTS COME ON AT ONCE BETWEEN 15 - 50 MPH DEALER REPLACED BODY CONTROL MODULE LIGHTS STILL COME ON NOW HAS MORE PROBLEMS AFTER REPAIR BY DEALER. SEVERAL RECALLS ON THIS LEASED VEHICLE RUNNING UP MILES BACK 2 DEALER REAR WINDOW FALL DOWN REPAIRED MOTOR TRIED 2 QUIT 3 TIMES COULD BE DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC SEEMS IT LOSES PRIME ON FUEL SYSTEM . ALSO EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR ON FRONT TIRES HAD IT ALIGNED MYSELF WAS OUT FROM FACTORY 10 DEG. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN DEALER 2 FIX SINCE I HAVE MORE PROBLEMS AFTER LAST VISIT. HORN DOESN'T SOUND ON KEY PAD DOOR LOCK AND FOG LIGHTS STAY ON AT HIGHBEAM AFTER ELECTRICAL WORK. VEHICLE HAS LOCKED ME OUT WHEN I SHUT DOORS 4 NO APPARENT REASON SWITCH KEYS IN IGNITION AND MOTOR RUNNING. *TR

THERE IS A SLIGHT FUEL SYSTEM LEAK THAT ALLOWS AN AIR POCKET TO BUILD IN THE FUEL FILTER HOUSING. WHEN THIS AIR POCKET GETS DRAWN INTO THE INJECTOR PUMP, THE ENGINE BEGINS RUNNING BADLY, CAUSING IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER. THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES, THE FIRST TIME THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, SO THERE WAS NO POINT IN RETURNING TO WASTE MY TIME AFTER THAT. I KNOW HOW TO TEMPORARILY FIX THE PROBLEM NOW THAT I HAVE READ SO MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING, AS NOTED IN THE LOST INTERNET FORUM. THE LATEST OCCURRENCE HAPPENED AT 65 MPH PASSING ON THE FREEWAY, AND I NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT TRYING TO MANEUVER OFF THE ROAD WHEN I LOST POWER. *TR

1. I PURCHASED MY JEEP LIBERTY CRD NEW IN SEP 2006. I NOTICED COMING HOME FROM WORK TODAY THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE THE REAR WINDOW DRIVER SIDE WAS SLIGHTLY OPEN SO I TRIED TO CLOSE IT AND HEARD A GRATING NOISE SO I STOPPED PUSHING THE BUTTON. DROVE HOME. GOT OUT AND LOOKED. SAW IT WAS DOWN ABOUT AN INCH. TRIED TO RAISE IT. SAME NOISE. USED MY HANDS AND PUSHED IT UP. KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG. GOT THE HUSBAND. HE PULLED OFF THE PANEL... WE SAW THE ORANGE REGULATOR CORD WAS NOT ATTACHED. THEN DISCOVERED IT WAS NOT SCREWED IN TO THE MOTOR ON THE OTHER END. BROKEN PLASTIC. ODOMETER READING 36150. PRICELESS. 2. THIS IS THE FIRST I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM. I LIVE IN COLORADO AND NO ONE EVEN SITS IN THE REAR SEAT. YES IT GETS HOT. BUT I HAD A 1994 FORD EXPLORE WITH OVER 200K THAT I SIGNED OVER TO MY DAUGHTER WHEN SHE GRADUATED AND THE WINDOWS NEVER DIED.... 3. APPEARS SINCE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AT 36150 I WILL NEED TO CONTACT THE DEALER AND PAY $375 TO REPLACE THE REGULATOR THAT IS WELL DOCUMENTED AS NONFUNCTIONAL. *TR

(1) THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECALLED NUMOROUS TIMES FOR VARIOUS PROBLEMS. (2) TWICE IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS, THE BACK WINDOWS HAVE COME OFF THE TRACK AND SLID INTO THE DOOR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE TURNING THE VEHICLE IN ANY DIRECTION AT LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD BEGAN TO SHAKE AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT FROM FIRST GEAR INTO NEUTRAL. THE CONTACT DID NOT NOTICE ANY DIFFERENCES IN THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 35,600 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

BAD WINDOW REGULATORS, ALWAYS BREAKING. ALL MY WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, AND NOW I'M WORKING ON THE 2ND ROUND, AND SOME WINDOWS HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE ALREADY IN 2 YEARS. *TR THE PROBLEM IS IT LEAVES THE CAR VUNERABLE FOR LEFT OR EVEN DAMAGE (DEPENDING ON THE WEATHER) PLUS IT'S NOT SAFE, IF YOU HAVE SMALL CHILDREN IN THE BACK AND THE WINDOW STARTS TO FALL DOWN WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING. *TR

OUR JEEP LIBERTY HAS HAD THE LEFT REAR WINDOW REPAIRED 3 TIMES AND IT FELL DOWN AGAIN YESTERDAY. THE RIGHT REAR HAS BEEN REPAIRED TWICE. THE SUNROOF REPAIRED ONCE AND THE BATTERY/ELECTRICAL REPAIRED THREE TIMES. THIS DOESN'T COUNT THE WINDSHIELD REPAIRED TWICE BECAUSE OF LEAKS. I T APPEARS THE WINDOWS FALL DOWN ABOUT EVERY 3-4 MONTHS. *TR

LOST STEERING CONTROL. THE BRAKING SYSTEM FAILED TO WORK. *TR

READ INFO ONLINE ON WWW.LOSTKJS.COM ABOUT ISSUES WITH THE FUEL FILTER HOUSING AND FUEL HEATER PUCK WIRE ON MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY CRD (DIESEL). I CHECKED MINE AND NOTICED DIESEL FUEL ON THE WIRING AND BURN MARKS ON THE WIRE CONNECTOR. THIS SEEMS LIKE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. DUE TO THE FUEL LEAKAGE AND SCORCHING OF WIRING I WILL HAVE TO GET BOTH THE FUEL FILTER HOUSING AND PLUG REPLACED. BASED UPON THE NUMBER OF ISSUES I HAVE READ ABOUT THIS SEEMS LIKE A DESIGN FLAW THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. *TR

2006 JEEP LIBERTY CRD FUEL FILTER SEPARATOR HEATER ELEMENT EVIDENCE OF PENDING FAILURE AND LEAK AND FIRE HAZARD; BROWNING OF PLUG CONTACT AND AIR IN SYSTEM DUE TO SOME SORT OF SLOW LEAK. THIS MAKES ELEMENT OVERHEAT IN AFOREMENTIONED AIR - AS IT WAS DESIGNED TO BE SUBMERGED IN FUEL - AND WILL MELT THERMOPLASTIC PLUG ELEMENT FITTING, CAUSING LEAK, WHICH WILL DRIBBLE ONTO HOT AREAS BELOW - IF GASES NOT IGNITED BY HEATING ELEMENT FIRST IN AIR/FUEL SPACE CREATED BY AIR LEAK - AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE FIRE AND DEATH. *TR

'06 JEEP LIBERTY HAS WINDOW MOTOR FAILURE IN ALL 4 WINDOWS. 2 WINDOW MOTORS WERE REPLACED AT DEALERSHIP AND HAVE SINCE ALSO FAILED. DEALERSHIP WILL NOT ASSIST IN REPAIRS DUE TO MILEAGE OVER FACTORY WARRANTY LIMITATIONS AND REPLACEMENT MOTORS ARE WARRANTED FOR 1 YEAR. *ALL 4 WINDOW MOTORS HAVE FAILED, SOME MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE ELECTRONIC FAILURES. DEALERSHIP PERSONNEL STATED TO ME THAT THEY HAVE RECOGNIZED CONSTANT COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MINE, HOWEVER THEY ARE UNABLE TO ASSIST WITH PROBLEMS. *TR

UPON RAPID ACCELERATION TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE, THIS JEEP LIBERTY CRD ACCELERATOR PEDAL LATCHES AND VEHICLE CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE REGARDLESS OF BRAKING OR OTHER MEASURES. IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN CONTROL YOU ARE FORCED TO PUT VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL, PULL OVER AT A SAFE LOCATION (IF AVAILABLE) AND PHYSICALLY PULL UP, OR "UNLATCH" THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE DEALER HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THIS PROBLEM TWO PREVIOUS TIMES AND DID NOT TAKE THE PROBLEM SERIOUSLY. *TR

I HAD TO REPLACE REAR BRAKES AFTER JUST 12,000 MILES ON MY BRAND NEW 06 JEEP LIBERTY. THOSE BRAKES SHOULD LAST AT LEAST 80,000 MILES. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY BRAKES, SO THEY INSTALLED BACK THE OLD CALIPERS AND THE OLD ROTORS. THEY HAVE REPLACED JUST THE BRAKE PADS, BUT NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THEY CONSIDER THAT "A NORMAL WEAR". THERE IS A MECHANICAL PROBLEM THAT WEARS THE REAR BRAKES THAT FAST AND THE DEALER DOES NOT WANT TO FIX IT. THANK YOU! *TR

FROM THE FIRST DAY THAT I BOUGHT THE 2006 JEEP LIBERTY, THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW "FELL" OFF THE TRACK, REQUIRING ME TO MANUALLY PUSH THE WINDOW BACK INTO PLACE BEFORE THE WINDOW WOULD CLOSE CORRECTLY. IN ADDITION, A FEW MONTHS INTO OWNING THE JEEP, A PIECE OF RUBBER FELL OFF OF THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR/WINDOW AREA. DURING A RECALL REPAIR, I ADVISED THE DEALER OF THE BROKEN WINDOW AND THE PIECE OF RUBBER THAT HAD FALLEN FROM THE VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH THE WINDOW WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED AND THE RUBBER PIECE PUT BACK ON THE VEHICLE, THE WINDOW AGAIN BEGAN TO FALL OFF THE TRACK WITHIN A WEEK OF THE REPAIR. THE RUBBER PIECE ALSO FELL OFF FROM THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR/WINDOW AGAIN, ALSO WITHIN WEEKS OF THE REPAIR. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AND EVASIVE MOVE WAS MADE TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT. THE STABILITY CONTROL DID WHAT IT WAS SUPPOSE TO DO, THE LIGHT LIT TO SIGNAL IT WAS ACTIVATED, THEN THE ESP/BAS LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE BECAME LOCKED IN A LIMP MODE. I PULLED TO THE SIDE AND RESTARTED THE CAR. THE TWO ABOVE MENTIONED LIGHTS WENT OUT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT LIT. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED. ONE OF THE TIME IT HAPPENED ON THE TECH REPAIRING THE JEEP. MANY PARTS AND SOFTWARE UPDATES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED. *TR

ENGINE STOPPED, COASTED TO CURB, VEHICLE BURST IN TO FLAMES. TOTAL LOSS. *TR

ON 2/21/08 I TOOK MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY TO DAVID O'NEAL AUTOMOTIVE TO HAVE MY VEHICLE CHECKED AS A RESULT OF TWO INCIDENTS THAT HAD OCCURRED DURING IT'S OPERATION AND ANOTHER OPERATIONAL PROBLEM. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED IN THE WALMART PARKING LOT AS I WAS STOPPED TO ALLOW A PEDESTRIAN TO CROSS THE PARKING LOT. THE JEEP ACCELERATED WHILE IT WAS IN A STOPPED POSITION AND I HAD TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK TO AVOID HITTING THE PEDESTRIAN. ON THE SECOND INCIDENT I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT WHEN THE JEEP ONCE AGAIN ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. THE OTHER PROBLEM THAT I WAS HAVING WITH THE VEHICLE IS IT'S INABILITY TO ACCELERATE EFFECTIVELY AT TIMES. THE SERVICE ADVISOR ADVISED ME THAT THEY DID GET THE JEEP TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT THEY DID NOT GET A CODE FOR THE PROBLEM. ON 2/22/08 I SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER FOR THE DEALERSHIP WITH REGARD TO THE PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING WITH THE VEHICLE, THE ISSUE OF MY HAVING TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSTIC FEES AND REPAIRS AND THE SAFETY ISSUES INVOLVED WITH THIS MATTER. HE ADVISED ME TO WAIT UNTIL THE VEHICLE REPEATS THE PROBLEM AND BRING IT IN TO SEE IF WE CAN GET A CODE. I NOTIFIED HIM THAT THEY HAD ALREADY SEEN THE PROBLEM REPEAT ITSELF WHEN I HAD IT IN FOR REPAIR AND A CODE DID NOT ACTIVATE. HE AGAIN STATED THAT I SHOULD BRING IT IN TO SEE IF A CODE COULD BE RETRIEVED. I ASKED HIM, IF A CODE COULD NOT BE RETRIEVED, WHAT DO WE DO THEN? HE COULD NOT GIVE ME ANY DEFINITIVE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION. ON THIS SAME DATE I RELAYED ALL OF THIS SAME INFORMATION TO

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A SUDDEN NOISE AS IF SOMETHING FELL FROM THE VEHICLE. SHE PULLED OVER AND NOTICED THAT THE FAN FROM THE ENGINE FELL ONTO THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT FLOOR, UNDERNEATH THE DASHBOARD. SHE DROVE TO HER DEALER, DROPPED OFF THE VEHICLE, AND IT IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED. THE POWERTRAIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 19,900.

I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A COMPLAINT ABOUT PARKWAY CHRYSLER DODGE AND JEEP DEALER. I HAVE A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE AND I CALLED THEM BACK IN JULY OF 2007, THE SAID THAT THEY HAD TO PLACE AN ORDER ON THE PART AND IT COULD TAKE UP TO A MONTH. TWO MONTH PASSED AND I CALLED THEM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT STILL ISN'T IT AND THAT THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN IT WAS READY. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON BACK AND FORTH SINCE JULY 2007 AND NOW ITS JAN 2008 AND I AM GETTING ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL. I HAVE HAD OTHER ISSUES WITH THEM TOO. *TR

HELLO I HAVE TAKEN MY JEEP LIBERTY TO THE DEALER AT LEAST 4 TIMES FOR THE RECALL AND THEY JUST NEVER HAVE THE PART IT IS ALWAYS ON ORDER. *TR

MY 21 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING MY 2006 LIBERTY ON THE NORTHERN PARKWAY IN WESTBURY, NY ON JANUARY 2, 2008. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN JULY 2006 AND HAS APPROXIMATELY 15,500 MILES ON IT. SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING THE WHEELS LOCKED UP RIPPING OUT THE TRANSFER CASE AND DROPPING THE DRIVE SHAFT ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR BEHIND HER WAS DAMAGED AS IT RAN OVER THE DRIVE TRAIN COMPONENTS. THE DRIVER OF THE DAMAGED CAR SAW FLAMES COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE LIBERTY AND A CLOUD OF BLACK SMOKE. (PROBABLY FROM THE GEAR OIL). FORTUNATELY THE LIBERTY VEERED INTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE AND NOT INTO ANOTHER TRAVEL. NO ONE WAS INJURED. THE LIBERTY WAS TOWED TO WESTBURY JEEP. INITIALLY I MET WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AND HE INDICATED THE REPAIRS WOULD BE MADE UNDER WARRANTY. AFTER 12 DAYS HE PHONE ME AND SAID ...EITHER THE CAR HIT SOMETHING OR IT WAS DRIVEN IN 4WD LOW ON THE HIGHWAY. NEITHER OF THESE OCCURRED AND JEEP DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE AND WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIRS UNDER WARRANTY. I PHONED CHRYSLER AND THEY WON?T EVEN SEND A REP TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. CHRYSLER CONTACTED THE DEALER AND REPEATED WHAT THE DEALER SAID. THE CHRYSLER SERVICE REP WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANOTHER CONTACT SAYING SHE WAS TRAINED TO HANDLE THESE SITUATIONS. SHE ALSO SAID THERE ARE NO TSBS OR RECALLS FOR MY LIBERTY WHICH APPLY. I AM FRUSTRATED AND STONEWALLED BY BOTH THE WESTBURY JEEP AND CHRYSLER. *TR

ON THE 27TH. OF DEC. 2007 I WAS TRAVELING ON I70E AND AS I WAS GETTING BACK ON THE HWY. FROM A REST STOP JUST EAST OF INDIANAPLOIS, IN. MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY CRD HAD A FAILURE IN THE TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER. I GOING ABOUT 60-65 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS A LOT OF SHUDDERING COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND THEN A LOUD KLUNK AND IT CAUSE A SUDDEN DROP IN MY SPEED FROM 65 TO 30 MPH. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS INJURED OR HURT, HOWEVER AS IN THE PAST WHEN THIS HAPPEN, ITS WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING A TEMPORARY LOSS OF CONTROL. THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDER HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES WHILE II WAS TRAVELING. MY DEALER HAS KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR OVER A YEAR, AND I HAVE REPORTED IT TO HIS SERVICE DEPARTMENT MORE THAN 4 TIMES AND THE PROBLEM HAS YET TO BE FIXED. CHRYSLER I BELIEVE KNOWS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP LIBERTY CRD'S DRIVE TRAIN BUT HAS YET TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS WILL BE MY THIRD COMPLAINT TO NHTSA ON THIS. THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN I WAS RETURNING HOME ON THE 3RD OF JAN. 2008. I WILL BE SEEING A REP ON THIS COMING MONDAY AND I DO NOT EXPECT TO GET ANY SATISFACTION FROM HIM ON THIS SAFETY MATTER. ALSO MY REAR BRAKES ARE GROANING EVERY TIME THAT I STOP AND THE DEALER HAS ALREADY DID A TSB ON THEM ONCE AND THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED. THEY TOLD ME THAT AFTER THE CAR HAS MORE THAN 12,000 MILES THEY WILL DO NOTHING. THE CAR HAS JUST 16,500. *TR
