2006 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

THE TILT FUNCTION OF THE STEERING WHEEL FREQUENTLY COMES UNLOCKED CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO MOVE UP AND DOWN. THIS IS PARTICULARLY BAD WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR WHEN REVERSING. THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE AN EASY WAY TO TIGHTEN THE TENSION ON THE ADJUSTMENT LEVER.

THE CLUTCH IGNITION, POWER SWITCH OF MY TRUCK KEEPS STALLS. THE VEHICLE DON'T START, WHEN THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS PUSHED DOWN. ALSO THE ENGINE CRANK AND START WITHOUT THE CLUTCH PEDAL BEING PUSHED DOWN CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO UNEXPECTEDLY LURCH. I WAS NOTIFIED BY A DEALER AFTER INSPECTION THAT SAID PROBLEM IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM, THAT WAS ON RECALL. HOWEVER SAID MY VEHICLE VIN# COULD NOT BE LOCATED WITH THE RECALL. I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER ON 1-800-992-1997, AND WAS TOLD I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. I WILL HIGHLY APPRECIATE YOUR IMMEDIATE INTERVENTION.

FUEL OVERFLOW AT GAS PUMP. INLET CHECK VALVE. FUEL SPILLS ALL OUT OF FILLER OPENING.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE ABS BAS ESP STOPPED WORKING AND THE LIGHTS CAME ON. WE WERE LIVING IN FT WAYNE INDIANS AT THE TIME AND WITHOUT THOSE FEATURES THIS JEEP IS FLAT OUT DANGEROUS. I HAD THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR REPLACED TWICE BUT THAT WASN'T IT. ONE DEALER REBUILT ALL FOUR OF MY BRAKES AND PURGED THE SYSTEM. THAT DIDN'T WORK. I PAID FOUR DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS OVER 3800$ PLUS RENT FEES. IT STILL IS T FIXED.

NOTICED THAT THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE FELT LOOSE. THERE HAD BEEN A LOUD METAL SCRAPING NOISE WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 65 MPH ABOUT A MONTH EARLIER, HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED BUT NOTHING WAS FOUND. TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR NEW FRONT TIRES AND AN ALIGNMENT AND WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE LOWER BALL JOINT HAS A LOT OF PLAY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE BALL JOINTS BUT WHEN I CONTACTED CHRYSLER I WAS TOLD THERE ISN'T A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. THE RECALL L27 INCLUDES MY STATE THAT THE VEHICLE IS REGISTERED IN BUT IT WAS BOUGHT IN VIRGINIA, WHICH IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE HAS 120,000 MILES ON IT.

DUE TO A MANUFACTURING ERROR OF A TIRE, I HAD A BLOWOUT ON THE INTERSTATE THAT ENDED UP TOTALING MY CAR. THE TREAD COMPLETELY SPLIT FROM THE TIRE WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT ANY COLLISIONS OR DAMAGE TO MYSELF OR OTHERS. THE BLOWOUT RIPPED OFF PIECES OF THE FRONT BUMPER, SOME SIDING OF THE CAR, AND CAUSED HUGE COSMETIC DAMAGE IN ADDITION TO WRECKING THE FRAME AND CAUSING SOME INTERNAL DAMAGE, INCLUDING A LEAK OF WIPER FLUID. MY CAR WAS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY (WITH 60,000 MILES) AND THE TIRE WAS A GOODYEAR WRANGLER ST TIRE WITH DOT # M671 EKER. (THERE WAS NO SET OF NUMBERS FOLLOWING THE EKER AS ON MOST TIRES, JUST A BLANK SPACE.)

BOTH REAR WINDOW MOTORS HAVE FAILED. THE WINDOWS SLIDE DOWN INTO THE DOORS STATIONARY, AND OR DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, A LOUD AND SUDDEN BANGING NOISE OCCURRED DUE TO THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW SUDDENLY COMING OFF TRACK AND FALLING INTO THE DOOR PANEL. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS ON BOTH PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS AND THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. EACH TIME THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WESTBURY JEEP/CHRYSLER LOCATED IN WESTBURY, NY WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WINDOW REGULATORS FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE FRONT LOWER BALL JOINT DELAMINATED FROM THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE WITHOUT WARNING. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING AND CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE WALL. NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO LAKESHORE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FIAT (LOCATED AT 330 E HOWZE BEACH RD, SLIDELL, LA 70461 (985) 641-9595). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

WHEN FUELING, THE PUMP DOES NOT SHUT OFF. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED AS AN O-RING PROBLEM AND RECALLED IN LATER MODELS.
