2006 Jeep Liberty Complaint Log

MY DAUGHTERS FRONT WHEEL BROKE LOOSE FROM HER CAR WHILE TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT. THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL CAME OFF ABOUT 2 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE LEFT WHEEL COMING OFF. BOTH SIDES HAD BROKEN LOWER BALL JOINTS. JEEP DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE CAR WAS NOT COVERED SINCE THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLE. IF THIS HAD HAPPEN GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE OR HIGHWAY IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER. THE CAR HAD TO BE REPAIR ONSITE, BECAUSE BOTH TIMES THE WRECKER COMPANY SAID IT MAY DAMAGE THE FINDER IF MOVED.

[XXX]: COMPLAINT ABOUT JEEP BACKING PLATES: 2006 JEEP LIBERTY VIN # [XXX].I AM WRITING ABOUT A SAFETY PROBLEM WE ENCOUNTERED OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS. ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS; 8-13 AND 9-3-15 I ALMOST DROVE OFF THE ROAD WHEN SUDDENLY MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE,LOUD, CLAMORING NOISE OCCURRED, WHICH MADE IT IMPERATIVE THAT I PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD/AWAIT ASSISTANCE. THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE BACKING PLATES HAD CORRODED AND RUSTED TO SUCH A SEVERE DEGREE THE CAR WAS INOPERABLE WITHOUT EXPENSIVE REPAIRS (557.97 EACH TIME).THE CLOSE TIMING OF THESE INCIDENTS SHOW THAT THE LIFESPAN OF THESE PARTS WERE NOT MADE TO LAST. JEEP DECLINED THE REQUEST TO REIMBURSE EXPENSES PAID, AND FAILED TO ADDRESS THE BIGGER SAFETY CONCERN. I WORRY SOMEONE WILL NOT BE AS LUCKY WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURS. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN A VEHICLE <10 YRS OLD USED SOLELY AS A PASSENGER VEHICLE, IS MADE OF SUCH POOR QUALITY PARTS THAT THEY LITERALLY RUST OFF THE VEHICLE WHILE IT IS IN TRANSIT. IN DOING RESEARCH ON THE EXTENT OF THESE BACKING PLATE ISSUES, I SEE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN A SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS FROM A QUALITY, FINANCIAL, AND SAFETY PERSPECTIVE, YET I SEE THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO RECTIFY THIS ISSUE. IT IS MY VIEW THAT I SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS QUALITY ISSUE BEFORE I ALMOST HAD ACCIDENTS TWICE WITHIN A 3 WEEK PERIOD. THIS MAKE AND MODEL HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT OF SEVERAL CONSUMER SAFETY RECALLS, I AM SURPRISED THAT THIS HAS BACKING PLATE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN BROUGHT TO ATTENTION OF OWNERS SO THAT IT COULD BE RESOLVED IN AN EXPEDITIOUS MANNER AT THE COST OF JEEP CORP. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT THEIR COMPANY WAS AWARE OF AND PARTS SHOULD NOT ?ROT? OFF QUALITY VEHICLES. JEEP RESPONDED ON 9-29-15 AND FAILED TO MENTION THE SAFETY ISSUE RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM. I ATTACHED THEIR LETTER VIA ATTACHED FILE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AFTER PUTTING MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE WINDOW DOWN COMPLETELY, IT WILL NOT GO BACK UP. THE MOTOR RUNS, IT MAKES A SOUND, BUT WINDOW DOES NOT MOVE. I WAS FORCED TO LEAVE MY CAR PARKED IN A MEDICAL CENTER PARKING GARAGE DURING MY WORK SHIFT 4:00PM TO 12:00AM. OF COURSE, IT WAS COMPLETELY UNSAFE FOR ME, A YOUNG FEMALE, TO RETURN TO MY OPEN CAR AND HAD TO BE ESCORTED BY A SECURITY OFFICER. I THEN DROVE THE 25 FREEWAY MILES HOME COMPLETELY EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS. HAVING GOOGLED THE MALFUNCTION, I LEARNED THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2006 JEEP LIBERTY AND IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. I AM ASTOUNDED TO ALSO LEARN THAT CHRYSLER DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS MECHANICAL FAILURE. AS A COLLEGE STUDENT, I AM NOT FINANCIALLY ABLE TO INCUR THIS EXPENSE, NOR DO I THINK I SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO, AND AM ASKING THAT CHRYSLER PERFORM REPAIRS ON ALL FOUR WINDOWS AT NOT COST TO ME. PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD NOT ENGAGE INTO DRIVE AND THE VEHICLE STARTED MAKING A ROARING NOISE. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD AND STRUCK THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. THE BRAKES SEIZED AND THE PEDAL WAS ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. THE POLICE FILED A REPORT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN IMPOUND LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 137,000. UPDATED 05/11/16*LJ *TR

AS I WAS LEAVING THE GROCERY STORE I HEARD A SLAM NOISE IN THE BACK PASSENGER AREA OF MY JEEP LIBERTY. I PULLED BACK INTO THE PARKING AND SAW THAT MY REAR PASSENGER WINDOW HAD FALLEN INTO THE DOOR. I WENT ONLINE TO INQUIRE ABOUT IT AND SAW THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR THE MAJORITY OF 06 JEEP LIBERTY OWNERS ALIKE. I CALLED CHRYSLER JEEP AND BECAUSE THERE'S NO RECALL ON MY VIN I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR ALL REPAIRS MYSELF. IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE AND I'M NOT ABOUT TO PAY FOR ANOTHER FAULTY PART LIKE EVERYONE ELSE DID. MY FATHER PAID TO FIX THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW IN MARCH. THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW FELL IN AUGUST 2015. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY CHRYSLER DUE TO ALL OF THESE CONSUMER COMPLAINTS!

MY BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR IS PARTIALLY INOPERATIVE. THERE WAS A ISSUE WITH THE BLOWER MOTOR THAT WAS A RECALL ITEM AND IT WAS ADDRESSED IN THIS CAR BY PREVIOUS OWNER BUT I BELIEVE THE BLOWER MOTOR SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED ALSO

EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK IT OVERFLOWS. I HAVE SPOKEN TO OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME CAR AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE SAME PROBLEM AND IN ONE CASE THE PERSON TOLD ME THAT JEEP REPAIRED IT AS PART OF RECALL, BUT I DO NOT SEE IT AS A RECALL SPECIFICALLY, AND WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER ABOUT IT THEY SAID IT IS NOT A RECALL ITEM FOR THE CAR. THIS IS A LIBERTY SUBMODEL

THE LOWER BALL JOINT BROKE CAUSING THE FRAME AND WHEEL TO SEPARATE. THE FRAME FELL ONTO THE TIRE. THE RIM WAS SLICED COMPLETELY IN HALF. AND THE BRAND NEW TIRE WAS BUSTED. IT CAUSED US TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE FEARED OF THE ROAD AND LANDED INA DITCH. WE HAD TO HAVE A TOW TRUCK PICK UP THE VEHICLE. IT COST US 300 DOLLARS TO HAVE THE VEHICLE BROUGHT HOME. AFTER GETTING HOME WE FOUND OUT THE PIECE THAT BROKE, THE LOWER BALL JOINT, WAS PART OF THE JEEP RECALL IN 2006. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY DID ADMIT THAT PART WAS A RECALL FIX IN 2006. WE ARE NOW WAITING ON CHRYSLER TO CALL US BACK TO LET US KNOW WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSE TO DO NEXT. WE ARE WITHOUT A VEHICLE.

I BOUGHT THIS USED VEHICLE 2 YEARS AGO. IT CURRENTLY HAS A RECALL ON THE GAS TANK. THE WAY THE DEALERSHIP "FIXES" THIS RECALL IS TO INSTALL A TRAILER HITCH, WHICH IS LAUGHABLE, AT BEST. THE TESTING AGENCIES HAVE PROVEN THAT A TRAILER HITCH IS ONLY MINIMALLY EFFECT UP TO 25 MPH AND NOT EFFECTIVE AT GREATER SPEEDS. I REQUESTED THE DEALERSHIP "WORK WITH ME" SO THAT I COULD BUY A SAFER VEHICLE FROM THEM. THEY ARE ONLY WILLING TO OFFER ME THE SAME TRADE-IN AMOUNT AS IF I WERE TRADING VEHICLE SOLELY BECAUSE I WANT A NEW VEHICLE. I WOULD KEEP THIS VEHICLE, IF IT WERE SAFE. I'VE CONTACTED METAL MANUFACTURING BUSINESSES AND REQUESTED THAT THEY BUILD ME A SAFE, STRONG GAS TANK AND BUMPER TO REPLACE THAT WHICH IS CURRENTLY IN THE VEHICLE. I AM WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE TO MAKE THIS VEHICLE SAFE. THE MANUFACTURING FACILITIES HAVE REFUSED TO BUILD ANY PARTS FOR ME BECAUSE THE LIABILITY, AFTER AN ACCIDENT, WOULD REVERT TO THEM RATHER THAN THE BURDEN BEING ON JEEP. I HAVE TOLD THE DEALERSHIP THAT I HAVE A SAFETY PROBLEM BUT THEY DON'T SEEM TO THINK I SHOULD GET ANY FINANCIAL CONSIDERATION WHEN TRADING IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT CAN NOT BE MADE SAFE EITHER BY ME OR BY JEEP. THEY WILL ONLY OFFER ME LESS THAN KELLY BLUE BOOK FOR TRADE IN AND HAVE TAKEN $1,000.00 OF THE RETAIL PRICE OF THE NEW VEHICLE. THIS IS INADEQUATE CONSIDERING THEY SOLD ME AN UNSAFE VEHICLE WHICH CAN NOT BE FIXED. THE DEALERSHIP IS DARLINGS; PO BOX 277; BREWER, MAINE 04412-0277. PHONE: 207-669-6570.

THE VEHICLE KEYS CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WHILE THE SHIFT IS IN DRIVE, AND IT WAS REMOVED ON THIS DATE AND THE CAR ROLLED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE
