2006 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 13V252000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, STRUCTURE). THE PART FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

I RECEIVED A RECALL N46/NHTSA 13V-252 IN JANUARY THAT SAID I WOULD NEED TO CONTACT MY DEALER IN ORDER TO GET THE FUEL TANK LEAKAGE ISSUE FIXED. I HAVE CALLED DEALERS REPEATEDLY AND THEY KEEP SAYING THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS AVAILABLE. IT HAS BEEN FIVE MONTHS AND THAT IS TOO LONG TO WAIT. THE RECALL NOTICE STATED THAT IF THE DEALER FAILS TO REMEDY THIS DEFECT WIHIN A REASONABLE TIME, I MAY SUBMIT A WRITTEN COMPLAINT TO THIS WEBSITE. THAT IS WHAT I AM DOING NOW. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT FURTHER STEPS I NEED TO TAKE TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY WHILE DRIVING THIS DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. *JS

KEY WILL NOT RELEASE FROM IGNITION ON STEERING COLUMN DUE TO RESTRICTED (DEGRADED RANGE OF MOTION FROM A SUBASSEMBLY WITH WEAKENED SPRING) MOVEMENT OF AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK CABLE. VEHICLE CAN NOT BE PUT IN PARK (SHIFTER FREELY MOVES THROUGH P R N D 3 2) AND KEY WILL NOT MAKE THE LAST LITTLE TURN BEFORE RELEASE. SEEMS TO BE AN EXTREMELY COMMON OCCURRENCE AMONG OWNERS, BASED ON CURSORY ONLINE RESEARCH. REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF ENTIRE CENTER CONSOLE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY WITH AN "UPGRADED/IMPROVED" MOPAR PART TO FIX THE KNOWN HIGH FAILURE SUBASSEMBLY (BUT NOT AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE SEPARATELY). INABILITY TO PLACE VEHICLE SECURELY IN PARK WOULD SEEM TO BE BIGGEST SAFETY ISSUE, NOT TO MENTION VEHICLE SECURITY COMPROMISED WITH KEY PERPETUALLY IN IGNITION. *JS ..UPDATED 02-10-15 *BF UPDATED 8/28/2017*CN

I PURCHASED A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY SUMMER OF 2013 AND THE FIRST TIME I FILLED IT UP, THE FUEL OVERFLOWED ONTO THE BACK FENDER AND ONTO THE GROUND. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS NUMEROUS TIMES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO FILL THE TANK FULLY. IT RESULTS IN A MESS AT BEST AND A FIRE HAZARD AT WORST. THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE, YET HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED FOR RESOLUTION. I WOULD SAY THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD AND RISK. PLEASE CONSIDER ACTION. *TR

THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER 13V252000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE , STRUCTURE); HOWEVER, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE SERVICED UNDER THE RECALL BECAUSE THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE.

AS I HAD JUST EXITED THE FLORIDA'S TURNPIKE NORTH BOUND AT KENDALL DRIVE IN MIAMI AND ATTEMPTED TO ENTER THE TOWN AND COUNTRY MALL AT ABOUT 20 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE BALL JOINT OF MY 2006 CRD 4X4 JEEP LIBERTY CAME APART CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOCK THE FRONT WHEEL AS THE STEERING ARM WITH PART OF THE BALL JOINT ENTER AND LANDED INSIDE THE RIM AND THE TIRE, PERFORATING IT AND PREVENTING THE TIRE FROM TURNING CAUSING THE JEEP TO ALMOST BUCK LIKE A HORSE SENDING US HEAD FIRST TOWARDS THE WINDSHIELD. THANKFULLY, IT DID NOT HAPPEN 45 SECONDS EARLIER WHEN MY FAMILY AND I WERE ON THE EXPRESS WAY DRIVING 65 MPH...IT WOULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC! THIS EQUIPMENT/PART FAILURE IS KNOWN AS RECALL F-23 BY CHRYSLER/JEEP AND THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF IT!! I WAS NEVER AWARE OF SUCH RECALL !! CHRYSLER/JEEP, AFTER ONE MONTH AT THEIR DEALER CONTINUE TO REFUSE TO FIX THE COLLATERAL DAMAGE ON THE VEHICLE (RIM, ETC) CREATED BY THEIR DEFECTIVE PART!! USING AS AN EXCUSE THAT THE FACTORY WARRANTY IS OVER WHEN IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT. CHRYSLER SENT AN "INDEPENDENT" INSPECTOR TO VIEW THE VEHICLE. THIS "INDEPENDENT" INSPECTOR'S BILL IS PAID BY CHRYSLER. THIS EQUIPMENT FAILURE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!! AND COULD BE FATAL!!! PLEASE HELP!! AT THIS TIME I ONLY WANT MY JEEP FIXED PROPERLY, AND THAT CHRYSLER HONORS THE TRADITIONAL JEEP QUALITY AND COMMITMENT TO THEIR CUSTOMERS!! A LETTER HAS BEEN SENT TO CHRYSLER CLAIMS AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM IN PERSON AND VIA TELEPHONE. NO RESULTS!! UPDATED 06/04/14

I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT COMPLETELY STOPPED AND A VEHICLE HIT ME GOING AT A SPED OF 30 MPH, AND PUSHED ME INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED, HOWEVER I HAVE TERRIBLE WHIPLASH. *TR
