2004 JEEP LIBERTY, WINDOWS REPEATATLY FALL OFF TRACK WHEN DRIVING, DOOR AND REAR LATCH DO NOT LOCK. THE WINDOWS HAVE BROKEN 6 TIMES. THE CAR WILL NOT LOCK. *TR

IN 2006 THE DEALER CLAIMED TO REPLACE THE LOWER BALL JOINTS PER THE SAFTY RECALL. WE HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING A LOOSNESS AND RATTLE IN THE SUSPENSION LATELY. UPON INSPECTION IT WAS NOTED THAT THE LOWER BALL JOINTS WERE VERY LOOSE AND THIS JEEP HAS ONLY 18400 MILES ON IT. I SUSPECT THAT THE DEALER JUST SIGNED OFF ON THIS SAFTY RECALL INSTEAD OF DOING THE REQUIRED WORK. WE HAVE KEPT THE SUSPECTED BALL JOINTS FOR INSPECTION AND FURTHER INVESTIGATION IN THIS SAFETY RELATED MATER. *TT

THE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THE FRONT CONTROL ARM WAS FRACTURED DUE TO CORROSION. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE FRONT CONTROL ARM, TIE ROD, WHEEL AND SPINDLE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED.

I ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR BUT THE STARTER WOULDN'T TURN OVER. I CHECKED THE FUSES AND RELAYS FOR THE IGNITION SYSTEM, AND EVERYTHING WAS OK. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN HAD TO BE REPLACED, BECAUSE 2 TABS WHICH HELD THE IGNITION SWITCH WERE BROKEN. I'VE SEARCHED ONLINE SITES AND FIND THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING COLUMN AND IGNITIONS SWITCHES ON THE JEEP LIBERTY. COST OF THIS "MINOR" REPAIR $600 PLUS TOWING. MILEAGE 82K. *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS FLICK ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. I CAN HEAR THE HEADLIGHT RELAY CLICKING WHEN THE LIGHTS CYCLE ON AND OFF. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE AND BASED UPON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY JEEP. *TR
