02 JEEP LIBERTY WINDOW REGULATOR. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE AND BASED ON THE FORUMS I HAVE SEARCHED IT HAS HAPPENED TO 1000'S OF PEOPLE. THIS COULD BE A POTENTIAL SAFETY PROBLEM AS THE WINDOW JUST COMES DOWN ON IT'S OWN WHEN THE CHEAP PLASTIC PART BREAKS INSIDE. IF A CHILD WERE NEXT TO THE WINDOW, THEY COULD UNBUCKLE SEAT AND POSSIBLY GET OUTSIDE VEHICLE. IN WHICH CASE THEY COULD BE HIT OR THE PARENT COULD BE DISTRACTED AND WRECK WHILE TRYING TO GET CHILD BACK TO SAFETY. THERE IS NO WARNING THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AND ALL JEEP WOULD NEED TO DO IS REPLACE THE PART WITH A METAL PART AND NOT CHEAP PLASTIC. I DO NOT KNOW OF ANY CASES BUT WOULD IT NOT BE BETTER TO TRY AN FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE WE HAVE A TRAGEDY? *TR

2002 JEEP LIBERTY. KEY DIFFICULT TO TURN AND ENGAGE STARTER. ONCE STARTED KEY CAN EASILY FALL OUT OF IGNITION WITH CAR MOVING DOWN THE ROAD! BY SEARCHING THE INTERNET I SEE THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEP IGNITIONS. WHERE IS THE RECALL?? OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND DANGEROUS SAFETY ITEM! THIS OCCURS ALMOST ON A DAILY BASIS. AM WAITING FOR THE TIME WHEN EVEN FIDDLING WITH KEY 20 MINUTES AND IT STILL WON'T START OR TURN. *TR

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO RECEIVE A REIMBURSEMENT FROM MY '02 JEEP LIBERTY FOR RECALLED UPPER BALL JOINTS THAT WE HAD ALREADY REPLACED. I HAVE A RECEIPT FOR A "CASH SALE" BUT THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT IT. DEALERSHIP IS CLOSED. EVERY TIME I TRY TO CALL YOUR NUMBER TO FILE A COMPLAINT, I'M PUT ON HOLD FOR 5 MINUTES THEN THE CONNECTION IS BROKEN. I HAVE TRIED 3 TIMES TODAY. PLEASE ADVISE HOW I'M TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT. THANK YOU. *TR
