2004 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

2004 JEEP LIBERTY. ATTORNEY REPRESENTING CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO REAR SUSPENSION LOWER CONTROL ARM RECALL NOTICE. *SMD THE CONSUMER WAS INJURED, WHEN THE JEEP SHE WAS DRIVING SPUN OUT OF CONTROL AND ULTIMATELY HIT A TREE. SHE SUFFERED INJURIES TO HER RIGHT HAND, LEFT LEG, RIBS AND LEFT KNEE. THE ATTORNEY STATED IT APPEARED HIS CLIENTS INJURIES WERE BASED UPON THE SAME DEFECT AS REPORTED IN RECALL # 12V085000.

WE HAVE HAD REPEATED FAILURES ON ALL OF OUR WINDOW REGULATORS SINCE WE PURCHASED OUR JEEP. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS IN 2006. I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OUR REPAIR FILE TO GET THE OTHER DATES. WE CURRENTLY HAVE ANOTHER WINDOW OUT, IT IS TAPED UP TO KEEP THINGS OUT. THIS IS THE WINDOW IN THE BACK BEHIND THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED. THE REPLACEMENTS DON'T EVEN HOLD UP. WE ARE SENIOR CITIZENS. NO ONE "PLAYS" WITH THE WINDOWS. WE USE OUR AC SO WINDOWS ARE NOT OPENED AND CLOSED. THEY JUST FALL DOWN ON THEIR OWN. WE CAN NOT AFFORD TO KEEP REPLACING THE WINDOW REGULATORS. THE DEALER SAID HE THOUGHT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A BIG PROBLEM ,BUT I DON'T SEE ANYTHING HERE EXCEPT WINDOW REGULATOR COMPLAINTS. WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO TAKE THIS PROBLEM SERIOUSLY? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 12V527000 (AIR BAGS) SEVERAL MONTHS AGO AND THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *TR

JUNE 13, 2013, THIRD WINDOW REGULATOR TO FAIL WITHIN ONE YEAR ON MY JEEP LIBERTY. FAILED WINDOW REGULATORS ARE FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT WINDOWS, AND LEFT REAR WINDOW. VERY FRUSTRATED AND DISAPPOINTED WITH CHRYSLER AND HOW THEY ARE HANDLING A KNOWN ISSUE. AFTER SPEAKING WITH SEVERAL EMPLOYEES AND MANAGER AT THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE DEFECT BUT THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPAIR THE FAILED WINDOW REGULATORS AT NO COST TO ME. THEREFORE I CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY JEEP LIBERTY WITHOUT ANY WORKING WINDOWS WHICH PRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE NO WAY OF GETTING OUT OF MY VEHICLE AND IT'S AN INCONVENIENCE TO PULL UP TO DRIVE THRU WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO ROLL DOWN MY WINDOWS. CHRYSLER, I'M SURE YOU HAVE HEARD THIS COMPLAINT MANY TIMES. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IF YOU WOULD TAKE CARE OF YOUR CUSTOMER BASE AND DO A RECALL ON THESE WINDOW REGULATORS. THANK YOU. *TR

JANUARY 8, 2013 GOOD MORNING. IT WAS VERY ANNOYING WHEN MY PASSENGER'S FRONT WINDOW DROPPED INSIDE THE DOOR. IT WAS AND WASN'T OKAY WHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST AROSE. I WAS VERY CONCERNED. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO MY DAD TO SEE WHAT HE KNEW ABOUT IT OR COULD DO. HE WENT TO THE PICK AND PULL JUNKYARD AND GOT A PLASTIC REPLACEMENT WINDOW TO HOLD ME OVER UNTIL I COULD GET IF FIXED, WHICH I DID ABOUT 3 WEEKS AFTER THE PROBLEM OCCURRED. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED ON JANUARY 8, 2013 AND I GOT IT FIXED ON JANUARY 29TH, ONLY FOR THE OPPOSITE FRONT DRIVERS WINDOW TO DO THE EXACT SAME THING TWO DAYS AFTER I GOT IT OUT THE SHOP. WELL THIS TIME, MY DAD PLACED A 2 BY 4 TO HOLD IT IN PLACE. AND NOW ONLY ABOUT 2 MONTHS LATER MARCH 28, 2013 MY BACK PASSENGER WINDOW HAS SUFFERED THE SAME FAITH. BACK ON FEBRUARY 5, 2013 I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE CHRYSLER DEALER BECAUSE THEY CONTACTED ME ABOUT A RECALL, AND AT THIS TIME I EXPLAINED MY INCIDENT TO THEM; THEY STATED THEY HAD MAYBE A FEW CONCERNS ABOUT THE WINDOW REGULATOR, BUT THAT IT WASN'T ENOUGH TO RAISE AN EYEBROW ABOUT. I UNDERSTAND WHY THAT WOULD NOT BE AN EYEBROW RAISER. IN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS, I HAVE HAD 3 OF MY CAR WINDOW TO JUST DROP INSIDE THE DOOR OF MY VEHICLE AND THE DEALER DOESN'T THINK THAT THIS IS CALL FOR A RECALL, OR SEND OUT NOTICES TO JEEP DEALER AND WORK ON THE RESPONSES RECEIVED TO THEN DETERMINE IF THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE OR NOT? VERY COSTLY, AND INCONVENIENT ESPECIALLY WHEN THE INCIDENTS OCCUR AT DIFFERENT TIMES. I WOULD LIKE TO GET SOME FEED BACK, ANSWERS, SHARES ON THIS MATTER, ANYBODY? I HAVE ALSO BEEN BROWSING THE INTERNET TO FIND OUT IF ANYONE ELSE HAS EXPERIENCED WHAT I HAVE, TO SEE WHAT THEIR OUTCOME WAS. STRESSED OUT CONSUMER... *TR

IN 2012 MY JEEP STARTED BUCKING AND JERKING,IDLE SURGING, STALLING AND HAD. HESITATION WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE, IT ALSO HAD SUDDEN SURGES IN CAR'S SPEED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ALWAYS ON AND AT TIMES IT FELT LIKE THE BACK WHEELS WOULD SPIN BEFORE THE CAR GOT TRACTION. I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE, A NEW ENGINE WAS PUT IN IN FEB 2012 AND MY CAR HAS NEVER RUN RIGHT SINCE. I AM NOW ON MY SECOND NEW MOTOR AND STILL AM HAVING SERIOUS ISSUES WITH THE CAR. EVERYTIME ONE THING IS FIXED ANOTHER THING GOES WRONG AND IT IS A NEVER ENDING CYCLE. I WOULD NEVER BUY ANOTHER JEEP PRODUCT AGAIN. THIS IS ONLY A PART OF ALL THE PROBLEMS I HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH MY 2004 JEEP LIBERTY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 55MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTING SHAKING. I SLOWED DOWN AND EXITED THE FREEWAY. THE SHAKING GOT WORSE, AND WHEN I TURNED INTO THE GAS STATION, THE FRONT WHEEL ACTUALLY CAME OFF AND ROLLED DOWN THE STREET. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED. IT LOOKS LIKE THE LUG NUTS JUST BROKE OFF. I HAD NO WORK DONE ON THE VEHICLE FOR THE PAST 2 MONTHS OR SO. *TR

HIT FROM BEHIND. THE DRIVERS SEAT HELD UP WELL, BUT THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT FORCED MY LEGS BACKWARD OFF OF THE FIREWALL CONTROLS AND MY LEGS WERE UP AGAINST THE SEAT WHEN THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP. MY LOWER LEGS AT THE CALVES WERE CRUSHED AND THIS LED TO SEVERE BLEEDING CONTAINED IN THE LEGS (COMPARTMENT SYNDROME). NO FRACTURES BUT EMERGENCY SURGERY WAS NEEDED. AFTER REVIEWING PHOTOS OF THE VEHICLE INTERIOR TODAY, IT IS APPARENT THAT MY CALVES HIT THE SEAT ADJUSTMENT BAR THAT STICKS OUT UNDER AND FORWARD OF THE PADDED PORTION OF THE SEAT. I FIND THIS A COMMON PLACEMENT OF THE SEAT ADJUSTMENT BAR IN MANY VEHICLES. IF NOT FOR THIS BAR I WOULD BE BACK TO WORK THIS WEEK AND NO SIGNIFICANT MEDICAL BILLS. OVERALL THE SEAT CONFORMED WELL TO ME AND DID NOT CAUSE ME TO FRACTURE MY NECK (SEVERE OSTEOPOROSIS AND PRIOR NECK FUSION).
