I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE 101 (A MAJOR L.A. FREEWAY) AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN FELT MY CAR COLLAPSE ONTO THE PASSENGER TIRE. I STRUGGLED TO REMAIN IN MY LINE, AND HAD TREMENDOUS DIFFICULTY STEERING AND WASN'T ABLE TO BRAKE AS EASILY. I FLEW ACROSS THREE LANES OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND ALMOST HIT A WALL. WHEN I EXITED MY VEHICLE I FOUND THAT MY LOWER BALL JOINT HAD BROKEN, CAUSING MY TIRE TO EXPLODE. *TR

WHEN REFUELING OUR 2007 JEEP LIBERTY, FUEL OVERFLOWS AFTER FUEL PUMP AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF IS TRIGGERED. THIS OVERFLOW NOW OCCURS EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS REFUELED. NO ONE IS ATTEMPTING TO "TOP OFF" THE FUEL TANK. THE OVERFLOW CAUSES A QUANTITY OF FUEL, WHICH I ESTIMATE AT TWO TO FOUR CUPS, TO SPILL ON THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. THIS FUEL OVERFLOW FLAW CREATES AN EXTREME FIRE HAZARD AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION RISK. THIS FLAW OCCURS IN THE WRANGLER MODEL OF CHRYSLER JEEP PRODUCTS ALSO, WHERE A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. THE SAME FLAW IS OCCURRING IN MANY THOUSANDS OF JEEP LIBERTY'S AS IS EVIDENT BY THE HUGE VOLUME OF OWNER STATEMENTS POSTED ON MANY WEBSITES. THIS WAS AN OCCASIONAL PROBLEM THAT HAS NOW BECOME CONSISTENT. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PREDICT AND WITHOUT A RECALL NOTICE, CONSUMERS ARE UNAWARE OF THIS HAZARD. THIS FLAW CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE PERSON REFUELING THE VEHICLE AND ANYONE NEARBY (SPECIFICALLY MY CHILDREN WHO ARE OFTEN WITH ME WHEN FUELING OUR JEEP). THE FUEL SPILLED HAS CAUSED PROPERTY DAMAGE IN THE FORM OF RUINED CLOTHING AND SHOES, AND POSSIBLY DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AS FUEL RUNS DOWN THE SIDE INTO CREVICES AROUND THE REAR WHEEL AND AXLE. WHY WOULD THE MANUFACTURER COVER THIS FLAW UNDER WARRANTY FOR ONE MAKE AND MODEL, THE JEEP WRANGLER, AND NOT COVER THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM FOR ANOTHER MAKE AND MODEL, THE JEEP LIBERTY? IT'S THE SAME PROBLEM CREATED BY THE SAME MANUFACTURER. *TR

BEGINNING AT APPROXIMATELY 35,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, FUEL WOULD SPIT-BACK IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE FUEL NOZZLE SHUT OFF. THE AMOUNT OF FUEL SPIT BACK WAS SIGNIFICANT, DRENCHING THE LOWER HALF OF THE PERSON FUELING THE VEHICLE. AT FIRST, WE THOUGHT THIS MIGHT BE AN ISSUE WITH THE FUELING PUMP, BUT FOUND IT REPEATED ITSELF AT EVERY PUMP AND AT EVERY STATION WE UTILIZED. IT DOES NOT SEEM TO DEPEND ON RATE OF FUELING, AS EVEN ATTEMPTING TO FUEL SLOWLY RESULTS IN A DANGEROUS SPIT BACK OF FUEL AND POTENTIAL DRENCHING OF THE INDIVIDUAL. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY THE DEALER AND A DEFECTIVE VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. INTERESTINGLY, AFTER REPORTING THE LABOR CHARGE OF $200 TO INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE, WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY HAVE SEEN A NUMBER OF JEEPS WITH THIS PROBLEM. ONE WOULD THINK COMMON PROBLEMS COULD BE FOUND WITHOUT THIS LEVEL OF LABOR. THE VALVE IN QUESTION CANNOT BE OBTAINED AS AN INDIVIDUAL UNIT AND THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK MUST BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF APPROXIMATELY $900. GIVEN THAT NUMEROUS OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES OF THIS YEAR, INCLUDING WRANGLER, DODGE DURANGO, LIBERTY, AND OTHER MODELS ACROSS THE CHRYSLER, DODGE, AND JEEP BRAND EXHIBIT THIS PROBLEM AND THAT LACKING SIGNIFICANT MOVING PARTS, ONE CANNOT JUSTIFY A FUEL TANK COMPONENT FAILURE AFTER 35,000 MILES, THIS ISSUE IS UNQUESTIONABLE A DESIGN FAILURE. GIVEN THE IMMEDIATE HAZARD OF FIRE, LONG TERM HEALTH RISKS, AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF REPEATED EVENTS OF FUEL SPIT BACK FROM THESE VEHICLES REQUIRES INTERVENTION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2007 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE REGULATOR FAILED AND THE WINDOW COULD NOT BE CLOSED OR OPENED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE WHO ADVISED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE VEHICLE AND OFFERED NO OTHER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ON DECEMBER 1 2011 AND ABOUT A MONTH OR A LITTLE MORE LATER (IN JANUARY) THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW STARTED MESSING UP (WHEN YOU ROLLED IT UP IT STARTED GOING UP CROOKED AND YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR HAND A STRAIGHTENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE ROLLING IT UP ALL THE WAY. ALSO, THE SWITCHES THAT ARE IN THE MIDDLE AREA BETWEEN THE SEATS, THE ONE FOR THE BACK DRIVER'S SIDE PASSENGER SIDE, QUIT WORKING ALL TOGETHER. TOWARD THE END OF FEBRUARY OR THE BEGINNING OF MARCH WE WERE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD ( GRANDSON WAS IN THE BACK LUCKILY ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE IN HIS CAR SEAT) AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE BACK PASSENGER WINDOW STARTED MALFUNCTIONING (WHEN YOU WENT TO ROLL IT UP THE MOTOR THAT ROLLS IT UP STARTED MAKING NOISE) AND THE WINDOW DROPPED AND SOMEHOW JAMMED THE DOOR COMPLETELY SHUT AND WE CANNOT OPEN IT. TODAY WHILE WE WERE OUT WE NOTICED THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW IS STARTING TO ACT UP. THAT'S THREE OUT OF 4 MESSING UP OR MESSED UP AND ONE HAS CAUSED US NOT TO BE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR AT ALL. WE CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE ALL THIS FIXED ON OUR OWN AND IT IS NOT THAT OLD OF A VEHICLE AND THE MILEAGE IS NOT REALLY THAT HIGH AND IT IS STILL IN GOOD SHAPE OTHERWISE AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ FROM SOME OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS FILED ON HERE FOR THE 2007 JEEP LIBERTY THIS SEEMS TO BE A REPEATING ISSUE.
