2006 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

THE LIFT PLATES ON ALL SIDE WINDOWS OF JEEP LIBERTY VEHICLES CAN BE DEFECTIVE. THE WINDOW WILL UNEXPECTEDLY COMPLETELY DROP DOWN. CHRYSLER CORPORATION ACCEPTS THE FACT THERE ARE WINDOW DEFECTIVE LIFT PLATES. THEY EXTENDED THE VEHICLE WARRANTY TO REPLACE THE LIFT PLATE PARTS IF THEY FAIL. TO MY KNOWLEDGE CHRYSLER CORPORATION DID NOT NOTIFY OWNERS ABOUT THE DEFECTIVE PARTS OR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I FOUND THIS INFORMATION OUT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR WINDOW REPAIR AT THE JEEP CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP (THE FARICY BOYS CHRYSLER, JEEP) ON SEPTEMBER 18, 2013. CHRYSLER KNEW ALL THE SIDE WINDOW PARTS WERE DEFECTIVE, BUT WOULD ONLY REPLACE THE WINDOW LIFT PLATES THAT WERE NOT WORKING ON THAT DAY. ANOTHER SIDE WINDOW LIFT PLATE ON THE SAME VEHICLE FAILED ON MAY 30, 2013. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND A WINDOW COMPLETELY DROPS DOWN IT CAN STARTLE THE DRIVER AND IS A DISTRACTION THAT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS AGAIN TAKEN IN FOR REPAIR AT THE JEEP CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE EXTENDED WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED AND THE COST OF REPAIR NEEDED TO BE PAID BY THE OWNER. IN SUMMARY, CHRYSLER CORPORATION KNEW THE SIDE WINDOW LIFT PLATES ARE DEFECTIVE, BUT WOULD NOT REPLACE ALL THE DEFECTIVE PARTS. I AM ASKING THE NHTSA TO ORDER A MANDATORY RECALL AND REQUIRE CHRYSLER TO FIX ALL WINDOW LIFT PLATES ON THE JEEP LIBERTIES. A DEFECTIVE LIFT PLATE CAN CAUSE THE WINDOW TO UNEXPECTEDLY DROP DOWN AND CAN PRESENT DRIVER CONFUSION AND A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAN PRESENT A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO THE HEALTH AND LIFE OF AMERICANS. THANK YOU. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CHECK ENGINE, ABS AND THE TRACTION WARNING LIGHTS ALSO ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO THE NEUTRAL AND THEN PLACED INTO THE DRIVE. THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATIONS BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED SHORTLY THEREAFTER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000 AND THE CURRENT 165,000.

WHENEVER THE STEERING WHEEL MOVES BETWEEN THE 1 AND 2' O CLOCK DIRECTION THE ESP/BAS LIGHT COMES ON AND CANNOT BE TURNED OFF WITHOUT SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE PARKED AND IN MOTION AT LOW SPEEDS. I TOOK IT INTO MY LOCAL DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND IT WAS REPORTED TO BE A FAULTY STEERING SENSOR/CLOCKSPRING. WHICH CONTROLS THE ESP/BAS PROGRAM AS WELL AS THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG SHOULD THERE BE AN IMPACT. I TOOK MY JEEP IN EARLY FEBRUARY AND THE PART WAS PLACED ON BACK ORDER BECAUSE THERE WAS NONE AVAILABLE IN THE NATIONWIDE INVENTORY WAS EXPECTED AT THE EARLIEST, MID-MAY. THE RECOMMENDATION IS NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I FOLLOWED UP IN EARLY MAY AND THAT DATE WAS SHIFTED TO AUGUST. I FOLLOWED UP IN THIS PAST WEEK AND THE DATE HAS BEEN SHIFTED YET AGAIN TO MID-SEPTEMBER. GOING ON 7 PLUS MONTHS WITHOUT MY VEHICLE DUE TO ONE PART THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SEEMINGLY A COMMON ONE LOOKING AT THE OTHER COMPLAINTS FILED ON THIS SITE IS RIDICULOUS. I HAVE TRIED GETTING THIS PART THROUGH OTHER AFTER MARKET PLACES ONLINE AND IT CAN ONLY COME THROUGH JEEP/MOPAR PART AUTHORIZED SUPPLIER. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT OR RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED TO ESCALATED TO GIVE THIS PROBLEM MORE VISIBILITY IN ORDE FOR IT TO BE CORRECTED. *TR

OUR JEEP LIBERTY FAILED INSPECTION DUE TO A FAILED CLOCK SPRING. THIS PART IS BACKORDERED WITH AN EXPECTED DELIVERY TIME FRAME OF MORE THAN 7 MONTHS. SINCE THIS WAS A SAFETY INSPECTION FAILURE, THIS VEHICLE IS NON-DRIVABLE. WE WERE FORCED TO SCRAP THE LIBERTY AND PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE (FORD). WE RECEIVED ABSOLUTELY NO HELP FROM THE DEALERSHIP, OR FROM CHRYSLER CORPORATE. CHRYSLER CASE NUMBER = [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TRANSMISSION BROKE! EVERY OWNER OF A 2005 OR 2006 JEEP LIBERTY DIESEL THAT I HAVE SPOKEN WITH,HAS HAD TO REBUILD OR REPLACE THEIR TRANSMISSION.THE MANUFACTURE HAD A RECALL TO TUNE DOWN ENGINE TO HELP PREVENT PROBLEM,I HAD THIS DONE,BUT THIS IS ONLY A TEMP FIX,(A BAND-AID). THE REAL PROBLEM IS A WEAK LINK IN THE TRANNY,(THE TORQUE CONVERTER). WHEN THE TORQUE CONVERTER FAILS IT DESTROYS THE TRANSMISSION.. WHICH IS WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO ME. MY JEEP IS 8 YEARS OLD, BUT I ONLY HAD 68,000 MILES ON IT. THE REASON I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WAS FOR THE LONG SERVICE LIFE OF THE 2.8L DIESEL (300,000 PLUS MILES BEFORE REBUILD). I LIVE IN A SOMEWHAT RURAL AREA AND I HAVE SPOKE WITH OVER 12 PEOPLE WHO HAS EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THERE 2.8L DIESEL TRANSMISSION #545RFE. I KNOW THIS IS A NATIONWIDE PROBLEM,I HAVE GONE ONLINE AND SPOKEN WITH ALOT OF LIBERTY OWNERS AND ALL HAVE HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS,I HAVE ALSO SPOKE WITH MANY FORMER LIBERTY OWNERS WHO SAID THEY WOULD NEVER DRIVE ANOTHER JEEP, BECAUSE LACK OF DEALER CONCERNS OVER TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS..THEY HAD! I AM CORRECTING THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING THE DAMAGED STOCK TRANSMISSION,WITH A HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AFTERMARKET ONE MADE FOR THE TORQUE OF A DIESEL ENGINE.. I FEEL CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT HALF TO ENDURE THAT LARGE OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE,TO REPAIR A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM! THANK-YOU *TR
