2006 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION. WHILE AT A FULL STOP AT A RED LIGHT WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE ENGINE STARTED TO ACCELERATE AND THE CAR STARTED JUMPING AS THE REAR TIRES 'BURNED RUBBER'. PRESSING HARDER ON THE BRAKE DID NOT HELP. I PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN THE ENGINE WENT BACK TO IDLE. THIS IS THE THIRD INSTANCE OF THIS IN 5 YEARS (THE FIRST WAS APPROXIMATELY 1/16/09 IN NYC, THEN AGAIN ON 2/6/12 IN NM, AND THEN THIS ONE ON 10/20/14 IN NY. THE FIRST TIME I WAS AT A BUSY CROSSWALK BY A SCHOOL. THERE COULD HAVE BEEN MANY INJURIES. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS AT A FULL STOP, THE ENGINE AT IDLE AND MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STARTED ACCELERATING WILDLY. UPDATED 12/02/14. *JB

2006 JEEP LIBERTY. CONSUMER REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT FOR RECALL REPAIRS. *TGW RECALL# 13V252000. *JB

ENGINE STALLS, SPUTTERS, NOT DRIVABLE, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, DEALER HAD NO CLUE WHAT WAS WRONG. THIS CONDITION CONTINUED ON SEVERAL OTHER OCCASIONS AND VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. *TR

I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE WINDOW REGULATORS BREAK IN MY VEHICLE. I HAVE REPLACED 3 OF THEM AT LEAST TWICE. I HAVE REPLACED ON ONCE, WHICH IS THE ONLY ONE I DID NOT HAVE REPLACED BY CHRYSLER. IT IS THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS NOT BROKEN AGAIN. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY REFUSE TO HELP OUT IN ANY WAY TO PAY FOR THESE. IT NEEDS TO BE A RECALLED PART, AND THEY NEED TO MAKE A PART THAT WILL ACTUALLY NOT BREAK. MY SMALL CHILD HAS TO RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT WITH A WINDOW DOWN, MY VEHICLE IS OPEN FOR ANYONE TO JUST GET INTO MY VEHICLE AT ANY TIME, AND ANY TIME IT RAINS, SNOWS, ANYTHING ELSE I GET ALL TYPE OF WEATHER IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE RECEIVED TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM CHRYSLER . *TR

2006 JEEP LIBERTY'S GAS TANK OVERFLOW MALFUNCTION. EVERY TIME I FILL THE LIBERTY'S GAS TANK IT HAS OVERFLOWED. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVER SINCE THE FIRST TIME I GASSED IT UP AFTER PURCHASING IT IN 2006. I HAVE REPORTED IT SEVERAL TIMES TO MY LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP IT WAS EVEN REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHEN I WENT IN TO GET MY FREE OIL CHANGE (AT 3000 MILES) FOR THE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE, BUT THEY HAVE CONSTANTLY PASSED THE BLAME DOWN ON ME FOR NOT PROPERLY FILLING THE GAS TANK. BECAUSE I AM EITHER A. AT FAULT BECAUSE I AM TOPING OFF THE TANK OR B. I AM AT FAULT FOR APPARENTLY USING THE SAME GAS PUMP ALL THE TIME. BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO'S FILLING THE TANK, NOR DOES IT MATTER WHICH GAS STATION I GO TO GAS ENDS UP GETTING ON ME, THE SIDE OF THE JEEP, AND ON THE GROUND WHICH IS HAZARDOUS ALL THE WAY AROUND. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE TANK IS UNDER RECALL TO HAVE A HITCH INSTALLED, TO PROTECT IT FROM REAR END COLLISIONS BUT I HAVE NO INTEREST, IN PARTICIPATING IN THE RECALL UNTIL THE OVERFLOW PROBLEM IS RESOLVED. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK THE TANK OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME AS THE TANK REACHES THE FULL POINT THE DEALER STATES A NEW TANK IS REQUIRED AND THEY ARE AWARE OF THE DEFECT BUT IT IS THE CUSTOMER?S PROBLEM AT A COST OF ABOUT $1600.00 THIS IS A SAFETY AND FIRE HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESS BY CHRYSLER. THERE IS ALSO A PROBLEM WITH THE WINDOW REGULATORS THE PLASTIC CLIP THAT HOLDS THE WINDOWS UP SNAPS OFF AT RANDOM AND THE WINDOWS FALL DOWN AGAIN CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE DESIGN DEFECT BUT REFUSES ANY HELP OR PERMANENT FIX. *TR
