2006 Jeep Liberty complaints

IN JULY OF LAST YEAR (2006), I LEASED A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS LATER, ONE OF MY WINDOWS SLIPPED DOWN. I TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIRS. SINCE THEN (16 MONTHS LATER), I HAVE BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP FOR THIS EXACT REASON 5 MORE TIMES. MY PARENTS HAVE THE EXACT SAME VEHICLE, SAME YEAR, AND THEY ARE ON THEIR 6TH WINDOW AS WELL. AFTER TALKING TO THE REPAIR SHOPS WE BOTH GO TO, WE HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. JEEP HAS BEEN CONTACTED BY US AND BY OTHERS. THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ON SO MANY LEVELS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS VULNERABLE IF THE WINDOW IS NOT UP. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY4X4 3RD DAY IT WAS TOWED BACK DUE TO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. NOW AT 30,000 MILES I'M HAVING THE SAME ISSUES PLUS THE GEAR KEEPS SKIPPING. I BROUGHT IT BACK 3 TIMES NOW AND BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MAKE THE CUNKING NOISE THE FEW MINUTES THEY HAVE IT THEY SAY THERE'S NOTHING WRONG AND THE GEARS ARE SUPPOSED TO SKIP. HMMM NEW ONE ON ME. THEY ALSO SAY THERE'S NO REPORTS ON THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS HMM PLENTY HERE OR AM I SEEING THINGS. IT PRINTED THEM ALL OUT SO I CAN GO BACK AND SHOW THEM THE COMPLAINTS. CAN'T DENY WHAT'S ON BLACK AND WHITE NOW CAN THEY? *TR

FAILED EGR VALVE- 2ND TIME IN UNDER 47K MILES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 50- 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT SMELLED FUEL INSIDE THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT TWICE. THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND NO FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 38,792.

FIRST INCIDENT, SEVERAL WEEKS AGO: WITHIN TWO MINUTES AFTER STARTING CAR, ATTEMPTED TO ENTER HIGHWAY WITH A LEFT TURN. WITH LIGHT PRESSURE ON THROTTLE, ENGINE RAN TO HIGH RPM. WAS ABLE TO STEER INTO CENTER TURN LANE WHILE SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL. ENGINE RETURNED TO NORMAL MODE OF OPERATION, AND I PROCEEDED DIRECTLY TO MY DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP KEPT CAR FOR SEVERAL DAYS, FINDING NOTHING ( SERVICE SAID THEY CHECKED THE COMPUTER AND CALLED CHRYSLER), THEY SAID CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. SECOND INCIDENT: LAST SATURDAY (NOV. 10, 2007) MY WIFE USED CAR TO GO SHOPPING. APPROXIMATELY FOUR MINUTES AFTER START, ENGINE AGAIN OVERSPED: SHE PULLED OVER AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND SHUT IT DOWN. WHEN I ARRIVED, ATTEMPTED A RESTART; ENGINE WENT TO A HIGH RPM SO I SHUT IT DOWN AND LEFT IT PARKED WHILE I WENT TO THE DEALER. SERVICE WAS ALREADY GONE FOR THE DAY SO I TALKED TO THE MANAGER, WHO SET UP A TOW THROUGH CHRYSLER CORP. DEALERSHIPS SERVICE COULDN'T GET TO IT UNTIL WED. EVENING (NOV.14). MECHANIC FOUND THE SAME PROBLEM BUT CAN'T FIND WHY. THEY CALLED CHRYSLER, BUT NO HELP. *TR

THE GEARSHIFT LOCKS IN PARK AND CANNOT BE MOVED. THE PROBLEM OCCURS INCONSISTENTLY, AND ALTHOUGH IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR THIS PROBLEM, THEY STATE THAT THERE IS NO IDENTIFIABLE PROBLEM WITH THE SYSTEM AND NO SURE WAY TO FIX IT. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A NEW 2006 JEEP LIBERTY AND HAVE HAD REPEATED PROBLEM WITH THE ROLLOVER PROTECTION PROGRAM SAFETY SYSTEM. HERE'S WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING: I WOULD BE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET IN A STRAIGHT LINE, SAY 30 MPH, AND THE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHTS WOULD GO ON, THEN MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKES WOULD BEGIN FIRING BECAUSE THEY THINK THAT THE CAR IS ABOUT TO ROLL OVER. AFTER A FEW SECONDS, THIS WOULD STOP. BUT AFTER THAT, SOMETIMES THE BRAKES LOCKED UP ALTOGETHER. OTHER TIMES DRIVING WENT BACK TO NORMAL EXCEPT FOR THE WARNING LIGHT STAYING ON. IT'S A LITTLE SCARY AND MORE THAN A LITTLE DANGEROUS FOR YOUR BRAKES TO LOCK UP THIS WAY. THE CAR WAS IN THE SHOP FOR WEEKS. I SPENT HUNDREDS ON RENTAL CARS. AND I HAD TO REPLACE MY BACK BRAKES AT 16,000 MILES. I BELIEVE THAT WAS DUE TO THIS SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONING. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. THIS IS A VITAL SAFETY SYSTEM, BUT THE DEALER AND JEEP DON'T REALLY WANT TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. *JB

2006 JEEP LIBERTY CRD BEGAN STALLING WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE. DRIVING STARTED OUT NORMAL, THEN SUDDENLY WHILE AT A STEADY 65 MPH THE JEEP BEGAN MAKING A LOUD NOISE AND NOT RESPONDING TO ACCELERATION. THIS WENT ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY FOR 5 MILES TO THE NEXT EXIT OFF THE FREEWAY, THEN IT OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY ON A HIGHWAY THEN SIDE STREETS UNTIL I MADE IT HOME. FROM A DEAD STOP IT WAS EXTREMELY SLUGGISH TO GET GOING AT ALL. THE SYMPTOMS POINT TO TORQUE CONVERTER ISSUES, I HAD PREVIOUSLY HAD THE TORQUE CONVERTER RECALL WORK DONE AT THE DEALER IN DECEMBER 2006, APPARENTLY THAT DIDN'T EVEN LAST A YEAR. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO STALL ON A FREEWAY, LET ALONE SIDE ROADS. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO SCHEDULE A VISIT FOR WELL OVER A WEEK, IT GOES IN TOMORROW. *TR

2006 JEEP LIBERTY DIESEL WITH 14,500 MILES. ENGINE DIES 10-15 SECONDS AFTER START. FUEL SYSTEM MUST BE PRIMED WITH PUMP ON FUEL FILTER HEAD IN ORDER TO RESTART ENGINE. FUEL IS SEEPING FROM THE FUEL HEATER ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR LOCATED ON THE FILTER ASSEMBLY. DEALER REPLACED FUEL FILTER ASSEMBLY AS A WARRANTY REPAIR. *TR

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER IS GOING INTO PARTIAL LOCK-UP. MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF SITUATION PER KN 87887255, BUT THERE IS NO REPAIR AT THIS TIME. HESITATION, SHUDDER, ALMOST STALLS. BEEN OCCURRING SINCE PURCHASED NEW. *JB

TODAY MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY DIESEL WOULD NOT START. I DISCOVERED THAT THE FUEL FILTER HAD LOST PRIME AND THERE WAS DIESEL FUEL LEAKING FROM THE HEATER PLUG CONNECTOR THAT IS CONNECTED TO THE FUEL FILTER HOUSING. I UNPLUGGED THE CONNECTOR AND NOTICED THAT THE YELLOW PLASTIC PLUG HEAD SHOWED NOTICEABLE SIGNS OF SCORCHING (BROWN DISCOLORATION) AROUND THE PIN HOLES. ALSO, WHEN I DISCONNECTED THE PLUG THERE WAS A HISS OF AIR ESCAPING FROM THE SYSTEM. NO DOUBT THIS AIR LEAK IS WHAT CAUSED MY INITIAL PROBLEM OF LACK OF FUEL PRESSURE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO FAIL TO START. HOWEVER, THE BIGGER CONCERN HERE IS THAT THE SYSTEM IS LEAKING FUEL AND THE HEATER SEEMS TO BE SHORTING OUT ITS ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WHICH IS A VERY DANGEROUS COMBINATION. *JB

ON WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2007, AT APPROXIMATELY 8:30PM BOTH MY HUSBAND AND I GOT IN OUR 2006 JEEP LIBERTY WITH ONLY 9,188 MILES TO DRIVE HOME. UPON TURNING ON THE VEHICLE WE TURNED UP THE AIR CONDITIONER AND HEARD A GRINDING SOUND. UNSURE OF WHAT THE NOISE WAS, MY HUSBAND TURNED DOWN THE AIR FOR A MOMENT. AS HE TURNED THE AIR BACK UP THE BLOWER FAN FELL OUT OF THE DASHBOARD AND INTO THE FOOT AREA OF THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT WHERE I WAS SITTING. THE BLOWER FAN WAS STILL TURNING AS IT MADE CONTACT WITH MY FEET BECAUSE IT DID NOT DETACH FROM THE ELECTRICAL WIRING. THE BLOWER FAN CONTINUED RUNNING UNTIL MY HUSBAND SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE. DUE TO THE FACT THAT I WAS WEARING SANDALS WHEN THE BLOWER FAN FELL OUT OF THE DASHBOARD MY TOES WERE SEVERELY LACERATED AND SUFFERED ABRASIONS. THESE INJURIES REQUIRED ME TO SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. DUE TO THIS INJURY I HAVE HAD TO MISS WORK, AS IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO WEAR SHOES, STAND FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME, OR SIT WITHOUT ELEVATING MY FEET. THIS INCIDENT ALONG WITH OTHER MULTIPLE FAULTY WINDOW COMPONENTS, ALL OF WHICH ARE WARRANTY ITEMS, CAUSE US CONCERN. PARTICULARLY SINCE THE BLOWER FAN WAS A RECALLED PART AND HAD RECENTLY BEEN REPLACED. WE NO LONGER FEEL THAT THIS VEHICLE IS SAFE TO OPERATE AND HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER HEADQUARTERS CUSTOMER SERVICE CALL CENTER FOR ASSISTANCE AND ARE AWAITING AN INSPECTION. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT LEASES A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT IN JUNE OF 2007 TO HAVE THE BLOWER MOTOR REPLACED. HE STATED THAT THE PART FOR THE REPAIR IS STILL UNAVAILABLE IN SEPTEMBER OF 2007. THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM HESITATES WHEN IT IS ACTIVATED. THE DEALER CANNOT PROVIDE A SPECIFIC DATE AS TO WHEN THE MANUFACTURER WILL HAVE THE PART. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 17,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

MY LATEST JEEP, A 2006 LIBERTY (WITH FEWER THAN 16000 MILES), HAS GONE TO THE SHOP 5 TIMES FOR 5 BROKEN WINDOWS (CABLES/REGULATORS). THEY JUST ROLLED DOWN ONE DAY AND REFUSED TO ROLL BACK UP AGAIN. THE FIRST WINDOW BROKE ABOUT ONE MONTH AFTER I PURCHASED THE SUV. ANOTHER OF THE WINDOWS HAS BROKEN TWICE, WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF THE FIRST "REPAIR." THEN I HAD TO TAKE IT IN RECENTLY WITH TWO WINDOWS BROKEN AT THE SAME TIME. IT'S RIDICULOUS! *JB UPDATED 10/10/07. *JB

OUR JEEP LIBERTY DIESEL AS BEEN RUNNING TERRIBLY LATELY, AND THEN STALLED AND WOULD NOT START. AFTER LOOKING FURTHER INTO THE CAUSE,I FOUND THAT THE FUEL FILTER HEAD HAD A FUEL LEAK AT THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION FOR THE FUEL HEATER. IT APPEARS THAT THE HEATER IS OVER HEATING AND MELTING THE NON-METALLIC FILTER HEAD WHERE THE CONNECTOR PENETRATES AND SEALS. THE CONNECTOR THAT PLUGS INTO THE FILTER HEAD IS BLACK AROUND ONE OF THE PINS. I HAVE LEFT THE HEATER UNPLUGGED, AND FOR NOW HAVE SEALED THE LEAK WITH A FUEL TANK EPOXY PATCH. *TR

I OWN A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. I HAVE TWO ISSUES. FIRST ONE IS THE REAR BRAKES. I REPLACED MY BRAKE PADS AT 34000 MILES TO FIND MY REAR OUTER BRAKE CALIPERS WERE NOT MAKING CONTACT WITH THE ROTOR ON EITHER WHEEL. THE SVC MGR AT GRINDSTAFF OF ELIZABETHTON, TN TOLD ME MY ROTORS WERE WARPED. THERE IS NO WAY THIS SHOULD HAPPEN AT 34000 MILES. I DRIVE 95% FOUR LANE HIGHWAY MILES TO WORK - NO RED LIGHTS AT ALL. YOU CAN SEE BY LOOKING AT THE ROTORS THE OUTER BRAKE PADS HAVE NEVER MADE CONTACT WITH THE ROTORS. WHEN THE OTHER SIX PADS WERE REPLACED THE OUTER REAR BRAKE PADS WERE NOT WORN ONE BIT AND THE OUTER BRAKE CONTACT SURFACE OF THE ROTOR IS NOT WORN AT ALL. THE SECOND ISSUE IS THE BRAKE ACTUATOR SOLENOID. MY JEEP WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK WHEN IT GETS EXTREMELY HOT INSIDE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT RUNNING THE A/C ABOUT 10 MINS. TO COOL THE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY OFF A LITTLE. IT STICKS IN PARK AND WILL NOT COME OUT. THE SAME DEALER TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT BECAUSE IT'S AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM EVEN WITH IT STILL UNDER WARRANTY (REPORTED AT 33000 MILES). THE SERVICE MGR AT GRINDSTAFF IN ELIZABETHTON, TN SAID THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PARTS BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. I AM VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THE RELIABILITY OF THIS VEHICLE. BOTH PROBLEMS I HAVE ARE SAFETY ISSUES, FACTORY DESIGN ISSUES AND DEALER WARRANTY COMPLIANCE. *JB

FUEL HEATER LEAK IN A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY CRD, COMMON RAIL DIESEL, POSSIBLE CAUSE OF AN INJECTION PUMP FAILURE. *AK

WHILE DOING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE I NOTICED DIESEL FUEL LEAKING OUT OF THE FUEL HEATER CONNECTOR LOCATED IN THE FUEL FILTER HOUSING. I PULLED THE CONNECTOR OFF AND FOUND IT PARTIALLY DAMAGED BY EXCESS HEAT AT THE CONNECTOR TERMINAL AND WET WITH FUEL. I LEFT THE CONNECTOR DISCONNECTED FROM THE HOUSING UNTIL I HAD THE DEALER REPLACE THE FILTER HOUSING ASSEMBLY UNDER WARRANTY. THE BURNED/DAMAGED CONNECTOR WAS NOT REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP WHEN THE HOUSING WAS REPLACED. I DON'T HAVE THE OLD HOUSING, BUT I COULD TAKE A PICTURE OF THE DAMAGED CONNECTOR/TERMINAL THAT WAS STILL ON THE VEHICLE. ALSO, I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS EXCESS AIR IN THE FILTER HOUSING BEFORE THE REPLACEMENT OF THE HOUSING. AFTER THE HOUSING WAS REPLACED THERE WAS STILL EXCESS AIR, BUT NOT NEARLY AS MUCH AS BEFORE. WHILE THE CONNECTOR WAS OFF, AND I WAS WAITING FOR THE REPLACEMENT PART THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START 2 SEPARATE TIMES BECAUSE AIR WAS ENTERING THROUGH THE CONNECTOR. I HAD TO PUMP THE PRIMER THAT WAS INSTALLED ON THE FILTER HOUSING TO GET THE VEHICLE STARTED BOTH TIMES.*AK

PURCHASED VEHICLE NEW FROM DEALER IN NOVEMBER '06. DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED PROBLEM IN MARCH '07 , CLAIMING THEY WERE WAITING FOR A SOFTWARE UPDATE FROM CHRYSLER. IN JUNE '07 I RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM AGAIN, AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE NO TSBS, NO CODES, AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM .
