2006 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH ON MY VEHICLE REGULARLY FAILS. MY MECHANIC HAS DONE THIS REPLACEMENT SO MANY TIMES I HAVE LOST COUNT. HIS FIRST TRY HE USED A LESS EXPENSIVE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH, BUT SINCE THE FIRST TIME HE HAS ONLY USED THE MANUFACTURER PART. THE LAST REPLACEMENT LASTED 6 WEEKS.

ORIGINALLY PURCHASED TOW HITCH AND PAID FOR INSTALLATION AT A CAR REPAIR SHOP, THEN LATER HAD TO STOP BY A JEEP DEALERSHIP TO INSPECT IT. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP REMOVED MY HITCH TO INSTALL A NEW ONE BUT STOLE MY OLD HITCH THAT I ALREADY PAID FOR. I COULD HAVE RETURNED THE OLD HITCH OR USED IT FOR MY OTHER VEHICLE BUT INSTEAD THEY REFUSED TO GIVE IT BACK TO ME AND WOULDN'T EVEN GIVE ME BACK THE SMALL RUBBER TOW HITCH COVER I HAD ON IT. SO NOW I'M OUT THE MONEY I PAID FOR THE ORIGINAL HITCH AND NOW CHRYSLER JEEP GETS AWAY WITH STEALING MY AFTERMARKET ADD-ONS. THIS IS CRIMINAL AND I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR WHAT THEY TOOK FROM ME. THE DEALERSHIP WAS RUDE TO ME AND TOLD ME THEY HAD TO DESTROY THE TOW HITCH I BROUGHT IN. OVERALL, IT WAS THE WORST SERVICE EVER.

JEEP WOULD NOT START -HAD LIGHTS, RADIO, HORN ETC. BUT IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER AT ALL. TOWED TO DEALER. TECH PERFORMED DIAGNOSIS AND FOUND THE PROBLEM - STEERING COLUMN HAD TO BE REPLACED. TOTAL COST $798.00. I WAS TOLD THAT THE STEERING COLUMN AND IGNITION SWITCH WERE PROBLEM ISSUES IN THIS MAKE AND MODEL BUT NO RECALL WAS IN PLACE TO REPAIR. IGNITION SWITCH RECALL REPLACE IN 2006 JEEP LIBERTY MANUAL TRANSMISSION BUT NOT IN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

EVERY TIME I START TO FILL MY TANK IT OVERFLOWS. I LOSE APPROX. 1/2 GALLON ON THE GROUND EVERY TIME I PUT FUEL IN. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! I JUST BOUGHT THIS JEEP A FEW WEEKS AGO. THE PREVIOUS OWNER/ DEALERSHIP DID NOT MAKE US AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION SLAMS OUT OF 1ST GEAR INTO NEUTRAL WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. THIS COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS REAR-END COLLISION BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS SUDDENLY OUT OF GEAR AT A CRITICAL POINT OF ACCELERATION. IT IS UNPREDICTABLE AND THE ONLY WAY TO PREVENT IT IS TO HOLD THE STICK SHIFT SECURELY WHILE ACCELERATING. IT HAPPENS QUITE FREQUENTLY.
