2006 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

OVER THE COURSE OF THE NINE YEARS I HAVE OWNED THIS LIBERTY, EACH OF THE 4 POWER WINDOWS HAVE FAILED MULTIPLE TIMES.THE WINDOWS SIMPLY FALL DOWN FREELY WITHOUT WARNING, AND CAN NOT BE PLACED BACK IN AN UPRIGHT, CLOSED POSITION. THIS HAS OCCURRED TWICE ON EACH FRONT WINDOW, AND ON EACH THE LEFT/REAR AND RIGHT REAR WINDOWS IT HAS HAPPENED THREE SEPARATE TIMES. THOUGH THIS IS AN ONGOING AND KNOWN SAFETY AND SECURITY ISSUE, THERE HAS BEEN NO SERVICE BULLETIN OR RECALL AS FAR AS I KNOW. CHRYSLER/JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE AND LOCAL DEALER ARE UNWILLING TO RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM OR COVER THE REPAIRS. JEEP QUOTES US OVER $600 FOR THE REPAIR BEFORE REDUCING THE ESTIMATES, DUE ONLY TO MY PERSISTENT COMPLAINTS. I UNDERSTAND THERE HAS BEEN A CLASS ACTION SUIT BROUGHT BY OTHERS ON THIS VERY ISSUE.

MY BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR IS PARTIALLY INOPERATIVE. THERE WAS A ISSUE WITH THE BLOWER MOTOR THAT WAS A RECALL ITEM AND IT WAS ADDRESSED IN THIS CAR BY PREVIOUS OWNER BUT I BELIEVE THE BLOWER MOTOR SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED ALSO

EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK IT OVERFLOWS. I HAVE SPOKEN TO OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME CAR AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE SAME PROBLEM AND IN ONE CASE THE PERSON TOLD ME THAT JEEP REPAIRED IT AS PART OF RECALL, BUT I DO NOT SEE IT AS A RECALL SPECIFICALLY, AND WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER ABOUT IT THEY SAID IT IS NOT A RECALL ITEM FOR THE CAR. THIS IS A LIBERTY SUBMODEL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE BRAKE, CHECK ENGINE, AND ANTI SKID WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE WAS ACTIVATED, BUT FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLOCK SPRING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE PART NOT BEING AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000. UPDATED 09/21/15*LJ UPDATED 12/12/2017*CN

THE LOWER BALL JOINT BROKE CAUSING THE FRAME AND WHEEL TO SEPARATE. THE FRAME FELL ONTO THE TIRE. THE RIM WAS SLICED COMPLETELY IN HALF. AND THE BRAND NEW TIRE WAS BUSTED. IT CAUSED US TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE FEARED OF THE ROAD AND LANDED INA DITCH. WE HAD TO HAVE A TOW TRUCK PICK UP THE VEHICLE. IT COST US 300 DOLLARS TO HAVE THE VEHICLE BROUGHT HOME. AFTER GETTING HOME WE FOUND OUT THE PIECE THAT BROKE, THE LOWER BALL JOINT, WAS PART OF THE JEEP RECALL IN 2006. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY DID ADMIT THAT PART WAS A RECALL FIX IN 2006. WE ARE NOW WAITING ON CHRYSLER TO CALL US BACK TO LET US KNOW WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSE TO DO NEXT. WE ARE WITHOUT A VEHICLE.

THE VEHICLE KEYS CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WHILE THE SHIFT IS IN DRIVE, AND IT WAS REMOVED ON THIS DATE AND THE CAR ROLLED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE
