2006 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE INTAKE AIR CONTROL SENSOR AND IDLE CONTROL SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

AS I WAS LEAVING THE GROCERY STORE I HEARD A SLAM NOISE IN THE BACK PASSENGER AREA OF MY JEEP LIBERTY. I PULLED BACK INTO THE PARKING AND SAW THAT MY REAR PASSENGER WINDOW HAD FALLEN INTO THE DOOR. I WENT ONLINE TO INQUIRE ABOUT IT AND SAW THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR THE MAJORITY OF 06 JEEP LIBERTY OWNERS ALIKE. I CALLED CHRYSLER JEEP AND BECAUSE THERE'S NO RECALL ON MY VIN I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR ALL REPAIRS MYSELF. IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE AND I'M NOT ABOUT TO PAY FOR ANOTHER FAULTY PART LIKE EVERYONE ELSE DID. MY FATHER PAID TO FIX THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW IN MARCH. THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW FELL IN AUGUST 2015. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY CHRYSLER DUE TO ALL OF THESE CONSUMER COMPLAINTS!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, A CHIME SOUNDED FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND THE FUEL CAP WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON A DAILY BASIS FOR TWO WEEKS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,000. UPDATED 08/22/16*LJ CONSUMER STATED THE DEALERSHIP TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE AND NOTICED THE O/D LIGHT CAME ON AND OFF AND THE DIAGNOSTICS SAID THAT THERE WAS A GAS CAP READER PROBLEM IN THE TANK AND TRANSMISSION WAS POSSIBLY FAILING. CONSUMER STATED THE RECALL SHOWED ON THE COMPUTER STOPPING THE DEALER FROM GOING FURTHER. CONSUMER TOOK THE CASE TO AN ATTORNEY IN WHICH CASE BY THEN THE KEY STAYED STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND NEVER CAME OUT. UPDATED 6/20/18*JB

I HAVE OWNED MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY FOR 6 YEARS, AND NOT ONE TIME HAVE I COMPLETELY FILLED MY FUEL TANK THAT IT DIDN'T GUSH FUEL OUT EVERYWHERE, INCLUDING ON ME !

EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK (PARKED WITH ENGINE TURNED OFF), GAS SPEWS FROM THE FILLER TUBE, RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE CAR, POOLS ON THE GROUND AND UNDERNEATH THE CAR, CREATING AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. GAS CONTINUES TO SPEW OUT AND ALL OVER THE AREA UNTIL I DESPERATELY GRAB THE GAS PUMP NOZZLE HANDLE AND MANUALLY DISENGAGE IT! I NOW NEVER CAN DEPEND UPON AUTO SHUT-OFF!! I HAVE TO MANUALLY OPERATE THE PUMP NOZZLE, NOT TAKE MY HAND OFF IT, LISTEN TO THE GUSHING TONE SOUND AS THE TANK NEARS THE FULL POINT AND SHUT OFF THE NOZZLE BY HAND WHEN I HEAR THE GAS GETTING READY TO SPEW ALL OVER THE PLACE!! THIS IS SO DANGEROUS!!!!! OVER THE COURSE OF SEVERAL YEARS, I THOUGHT THIS PROBLEM WAS JUST UNIQUE TO MY CAR BUT AFTER TALKING WITH TWO OTHER JEEP LIBERTY OWNER ACQUAINTANCES, I DISCOVERED THEY HAD THE SAME DANGEROUS SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THEIR JEEP LIBERTY, AS WELL. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS.... IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED!!! ("WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN FIELD BELOW: JULY 2009 TO PRESENT")

I HAD TO ROLL DOWN THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW GLASS TO PAY PARKING FEE AND THEN THE WINDOW NEVER WENT UP. HAD TO DRIVE IN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE WINDOW WAS DOWN COMPLETELY. I HAD TO REPLACE THE WINDOW GLASS PRIOR 4 TIMES FOR THEIR LOW QUALITY LIFT PLATE ON WINDOW GLASS AND THIS TIME THE DEALER SAID IT IS NOT COVERED IN 7 YRS EXTENDED WARRANTY AND ASKED TO PAY $500 TO FIX THE REGULATOR. THE DEALER FIXED THIS LIFT PLATE ISSUE PRIOR UNDER 7 YRS EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH LOW QUALITY MATERIAL AND SO THIS ISSUE REOCCURED BUT THIS TIME AS THEY FOUND WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED THEY ASKED TO PAY $500 FOR REGULATOR THIS TIME SAYING IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY OR 7 YRS EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED. JEEP NEEDS TO PAY MY $500 BACK FOR THE REGULATOR BECAUSE I THINK THEY ARE RIPPING MY MONEY OFF BECAUSE OF THEIR FAULTY DESIGN.

AT 44,143 IN DEC 2009 I HAD 4 NEW TIRES AND REAR DISC PADS REPLACED. IN JULY 2012, ABOUT MILEAGE 54000, WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN, THE LEFT REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR FAILED CAUSING LOSS OF ABS, ESP, AND CRUISE CONTROL. I HAD DEALER REPAIR. AT 67,642,IN APRIL 2016, I NOTICED THE REAR DISC ROTORS WERE CAKED WITH A CRUSTY RUST AND IT APPEARED THAT THE BRAKE PADS WERE WORN OUT.. THE REAR BRAKES COULD NOT HAVE BEEN WORKING. THE DEALER PUT ON NEW ROTORS, CALIPERS, PADS, AND FLUSHED THE SYSTEM. THE RUSTY ROTORS COULD NOT BE TURNED TO REUSE, THE CALIPERS WERE BOTH "STUCK" AND THE BRAKE FLUID WAS "BLACK". I ALSO HAD THE FRONT ROTORS TURNED AND NEW PADS INSTALLED. THE ABS, ESP, AND CRUISE CONTROL STILL LIGHTS UP ON THE DASH FOR A MINUTE THEN GOES OUT BY ITSELF, LEADING ME TO TOTALLY DISTRUST THE SYSTEM. I HAVE NEVER SEEN BRAKE ROTORS SO RUSTED IN MY 65 YEARS.

RECALLS ON THIS CAR WERE NOT TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE BEING SOLD TO THE CURRENT OWNER. INFORMATION ABOUT SUCH RECALLS WERE NOT DISCLOSED BEFORE OR DURING THE TIME OF SALE. SMALL ISSUES AROSE DURING THE FIRST FEW MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP. RECENTLY ,IN JANUARY 2016 BIGGER ISSUES HAVE COME ABOUT AND NOW THE ENGINE MUST BE REPLACED. THIS HAS ALL HAPPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN MOTION.

H. THIS CAR HAS REQUIRED ENGINE OIL TO BE ADDED EVERY 50 TO 100 MILES WITHOUT ANY EVIDENT SMELL OR SIGHT OF LEAKING OIL, ALSO TORQUE CONVERTER NEEDED REPLACEMENT EXPERIENCED DECELERATION OF SPEED WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH.

2006 JEEP LIBERTY: FUEL SPLASHES BACK WHEN FILLING GAS TANK AT A GAS STATION. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FUEL THE TANK. FAULTY FUEL INLET CHECK VALVE. OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR REPAIR. I SPOKE WITH A REPRESENTATIVE FROM CHRYSLER, AND THEY STATED THAT CHRYSLER HAS NO PLANS OF ISSUING A RECALL FOR THIS MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR VEHICLE.
