2006 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING AT 5 MPH, THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW FAILED TO ROLL UP AND REMAINED IN THE DOWN POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,564.

ESP/BAS, ABS AND SKIDDING VEHICLE ICON LIGHTS CAME ON IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER! THE CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE WE HAD ON OUR 2007 JEEP WRANGLER, WHICH I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE NHTSA, WHICH ISSUED A RECALL ON OUR JEEP. THE CLOCK SPRING MODULE, LOCATED UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL, CONTROLS, THE ABS, ESP/BAS, CRUISE CONTROL, HORN, AND AIR BAG! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED, LIKE MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER WAS!

PASSENGER DOOR WINDOW FELL DOWN. LINKAGE/REGULATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THE WINDOWS, ON ALL 4 DOORS, 3-4 TIMES EACH. THIS JUST HAPPENED AGAIN TO THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW ON 5-10-15.

THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE JEEP WAS BRAND NEW. THERE IS NO AUTO-STOP WHEN FILLING THE JEEP. UP TO A GALLON, OR MORE, WILL SPILL OUT IF YOU CANNOT STOP IT IN TIME. THIS CAUSES FUEL TO GET ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND THE PERSON PUMPING THE FUEL. WE HAVE TALKED WITH THE DEALER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM REPEATEDLY (IN TWO STATES - NEW JERSEY AND MAINE) AND IT SEEMS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN (OR WILL) DO. WE CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE MAKING A U-TURN AT 3 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. NEITHER OF THE FRONTAL AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR REPAIR. THE CONTACT WENT TO A DOCTOR THE FOLLOWING MORNING WHO DIAGNOSED THE CONTACT WITH WHIPLASH AND SEVERE HEADACHES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

I BOUGHT THIS USED VEHICLE 2 YEARS AGO. IT CURRENTLY HAS A RECALL ON THE GAS TANK. THE WAY THE DEALERSHIP "FIXES" THIS RECALL IS TO INSTALL A TRAILER HITCH, WHICH IS LAUGHABLE, AT BEST. THE TESTING AGENCIES HAVE PROVEN THAT A TRAILER HITCH IS ONLY MINIMALLY EFFECT UP TO 25 MPH AND NOT EFFECTIVE AT GREATER SPEEDS. I REQUESTED THE DEALERSHIP "WORK WITH ME" SO THAT I COULD BUY A SAFER VEHICLE FROM THEM. THEY ARE ONLY WILLING TO OFFER ME THE SAME TRADE-IN AMOUNT AS IF I WERE TRADING VEHICLE SOLELY BECAUSE I WANT A NEW VEHICLE. I WOULD KEEP THIS VEHICLE, IF IT WERE SAFE. I'VE CONTACTED METAL MANUFACTURING BUSINESSES AND REQUESTED THAT THEY BUILD ME A SAFE, STRONG GAS TANK AND BUMPER TO REPLACE THAT WHICH IS CURRENTLY IN THE VEHICLE. I AM WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE TO MAKE THIS VEHICLE SAFE. THE MANUFACTURING FACILITIES HAVE REFUSED TO BUILD ANY PARTS FOR ME BECAUSE THE LIABILITY, AFTER AN ACCIDENT, WOULD REVERT TO THEM RATHER THAN THE BURDEN BEING ON JEEP. I HAVE TOLD THE DEALERSHIP THAT I HAVE A SAFETY PROBLEM BUT THEY DON'T SEEM TO THINK I SHOULD GET ANY FINANCIAL CONSIDERATION WHEN TRADING IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT CAN NOT BE MADE SAFE EITHER BY ME OR BY JEEP. THEY WILL ONLY OFFER ME LESS THAN KELLY BLUE BOOK FOR TRADE IN AND HAVE TAKEN $1,000.00 OF THE RETAIL PRICE OF THE NEW VEHICLE. THIS IS INADEQUATE CONSIDERING THEY SOLD ME AN UNSAFE VEHICLE WHICH CAN NOT BE FIXED. THE DEALERSHIP IS DARLINGS; PO BOX 277; BREWER, MAINE 04412-0277. PHONE: 207-669-6570.

UNABLE TO CLOSE REAR LIFT GATE. VEHICLE WAS NOT USING ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. VEHICLE WAS NOT USING CRUISE CONTROL. WAS ABLE TO HAVE A 'WORK AROUND' BY USING THE KEY FOB TO RELEASE THE GATE LATCH IN ORDER TO CLOSE THE WINDOW. AS OF SATURDAY MAY 9,2015, THAT WORK AROUND HAS FAILED. KEY FOB IS STILL ABLE TO LOCK/UNLOCK DOORS AND SET ALARM. NOTICED NO SUPERFICIAL WATER DAMAGE /LEAKS AROUND WEATHER STRIP. READ AND NOTICED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE REAR WINDOW LATCH NOT CLOSING PROPERLY IF AT ALL. THIS IS A DRIVING HAZARD THAT WILL SURELY CAUSE DRIVERS TO HAVE INFRACTIONS AND/OR ACCIDENTS. PLEASE ADVISE.

1) AS SPRING ARRIVED I ROLLED DOWN THE WINDOWS AND THERE IS A NOISE WHICH SOUNDS LIKE CARD BOARD FLAPPING AS WHEEL TURNS. 2) DURING THE WINTER WHILE DRIVING SLOW OVER SPEED BUMPS IT SOUNDED LIKE RUSTY SPRINGS. 3) ANOTHER ON/OFF PROBLEM - WHEN I PARK; AND TURN KEY TO OFF IT PASS OFF POSITION TO ACC POSITION. *TR
