THE UPPER MOUNTING NUT FOR THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER SEAT BEAT SHOULDER LOOP IS PRONE TO SHEAR OFF THE MOUNTING PLATE THE NUT IS WELDED TO INSIDE THE C-PILLAR. THIS CAN HAPPEN ANYTIME THE UPPER SEAT BELT LOOP IS SERVICED. I HAD THIS HAPPEN TO MY VEHICLE WHEN INSTALLING THE MOPAR TRAILER TOW WIRE HARNESS. THE INSTALL OF THE WIRE HARNESS CALLS FOR THE REMOVAL OF THE RIGHT REAR INTERNAL TRIM PANEL AND THE UPPER RIGHT REAR PASSENGER SEAT BELT MOUNT. TO REMOVAL THE UPPER SEAT BELT BOLT I HAD USED A T47 BIT SOCKET ON 3/8" RATCHET HANDLE. WHILE REMOVING THE SEAT BELT BOLT, THE BOLT STARTED TO SPIN FREELY AND NOT BE ABLE TO BE REMOVED. I HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC FOR ADVICE AND THEY SAID TAKE IT TO A BODY SHOP. ABRA AUTO BODY IN MADISON, WI HAD PLACED A CAMERA INSIDE THE RIGHT REAR C-PILLER TO FIND THE REASON FOR THE BOLT SPINNING FREELY. ABRA HAD FOUND THAT THE INTERNAL SEAT BELT NUT HAD BROKEN FREE FROM WELDS THAT HOLD THE NUT TO THE RIGHT REAR C-PILLAR. THAT FACT THAT I WAS ABLE TO HAVE THIS SEAT BELT BOLT NUT BREAK FROM ITS WELDS WITH JUST SMALL HAND TOOLS CONCERNS ME THAT THE ENTIRE JEEP LIBERTY FLEET IS PRONE TO REAR PASSENGER SEAT BELT MOUNT POINT FAILURES DURING A CRASH. *TR

I MANAGE AN EMISSIONS TESTING BUSINESS A WOMAN CAME IN WITH A 2007 JEEP LIBERTY FOR A SMOG CHECK. DURING THE ASM TEST, WHERE I HAVE TO DRIVE THE CAR ON THE DYNAMOMETER, IT HOPS OFF THE DYNO, GOING THROUGH THE PRECAUTIONS I TAKE FOR A REAR-WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE(PLACING A SHOCK IN FRONT OF THE FRONT WHEELS), AND CRASHES INTO THE WALL, DAMAGING MYSELF AND $5,000 WORTH OF EQUIPMENT. ALSO, THE CAR KEPT ON ACCELERATING INTO THE WALL, EVEN WHEN PUSHING ON THE BRAKES AS HARD I COULD SO THAT'S WHEN I SHIFTED IT INTO PARK AND ENGAGED THE HANDBRAKE. OBVIOUSLY, THIS CAR HAS SOME MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH IT. AT FIRST, I LOOKED ONLINE AND THE YEAR AND MODEL HAD NUMEROUS RECALLS ON IT, INCLUDING THE REAR SUSPENSION, AND BRAKES LOCKING UP, WHICH I BELIEVED HAD HAPPENED IN MY CASE. (HTTP://WWW.MOTORTREND.COM/CARS/2007/JEEP/LIBERTY/RECALLS/), BUT AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WASN'T ANY MAJOR RECALLS ISSUED ON IT, WHICH IS WHY IM FILING THIS COMPLAINT AFTER SMOGGING HUNDREDS OF CARS, THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME UNTIL THAT DAY. *TR

WHILE REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE AUTO GASOLINE SHUTOFF FAILED TO WORK AND GAS SPILLED ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND GROUND. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT. OUR CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY WORKS FINE AT THE SAME GAS STATION. *TR

THIS COMPLAINT IN REGARDS TO THE BLOWER MOTOR. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT THE BLOWER MOTOR ON MY JEEP BECAUSE THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I'VE HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT. THE FIRST TIME WAS TAKEN CARE OF BECAUSE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AFTER MY PURCHASE IN 2014. BUT IT HAS GONE OUT AGAIN. THIS TIME THE BLOWER MOTOR HAD GOTTEN SO HOT THAT IT MELTED THE WIRE CASING OF THE WIRES. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE. THE COMPANY SAID THAT SINCE IT'S NOT UNDER WARRANTY IT'S NOT THERE PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT SOMEONE SHOULD LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM WITH THE BLOWER MOTORS. I HAD ALSO CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON TRAILER HITCH. WHILE I WAS ON THE PHONE WITH THEM I ASKED ABOUT THE BLOWER MOTOR. THEY SAID THAT THERE WASN'T A RECALL ON IT. BUT THE PERSON I SPOKE TO HAD SAID HE HAS THE SAME VEHICLE AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HIM AND THAT HE HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL BLOWER MOTOR AND CHRYSLER SHOULD TAKE IT SERIOUSLY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE IT STARTS A FIRE. I WAS JUST LUCKY ENOUGH THAT MINE DIDN'T CATCH FIRE. *TR
