My back rear control arms/suspension/alignment were recalled, I had them replaced. Now My front control arms/suspension/alignment are very unsafe to drive. Wobbly, unstable, loose, noises, screeching. It Feels like it-??s going to break/snap/fall off. Yes my vehicle is available for inspection. I feel unsafe on turns especially. It could snap at any moment and my Jeep could roll injuring me or others. I had a tire/allignment center check the status. No warning lights or messages. The sound and issue has been going on since I got my jeep recall fixed. The dealership hit the front of my Jeep in the parking lot and still has not taken responsibility for their actions and damages done to my Jeep. It was evaluated from Jeep-??s body/auto shop estimating at outer damage 1,500$ + and they have not inspected the damage caused to the control arm/suspension/alignment from the employee hitting me Jeep into something moments before returning my Jeep from a recall-fix. Jeeo still has yet to take responsibility for the damages caused. I have not felt safe since then. The steering has been wobbly, the turns make noise and shudder like the wheel is going to break off/fall off or worse snap. I have tried numerous attempts to get these issues resolved with Jeep Liberty of San Diego Camino del rio s. With no responsibility taken from them for the damages they have caused making me Jeep unsafe to drive.

In December 2020, I stopped at the post office to drop a letter in the outdoor box. I rolled down my window, deposited the letter, and drove off. As I was raising my driver side window, I heard a loud noise and my window dropped into the car door. It was another broken window regulator. It was 30 degrees outside and I had other errands to run. I had to drive around the city with my window half-way down in the freezing weather. Jeep had a recall in 2010 stating "we are extending the warranty period for window lift plate repairs because some vehicles have experienced repeat concerns with window components. If you have already experienced this window regulator concern and have paid to have it repaired, you may be eligible to receive reimbursement." When I was notified about the recall, I submitted receipts for the three incidents I had with broken window regulators that needed to be replaced. Chrysler reimbursed me my full out-of-pocket expenses of $708.28 on January 24, 2011. Now I need them to pay me $461.50 for the window regulator that was replaced on April 14, 2021. This is an ongoing problem, and most of all, a safety issue because of the distraction it causes to a driver. I recently read the following: Distracted driving is a deadly problem'it led to 3,142 deaths in 2019, according to the most recent statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Chrysler should extend the window regulator recall on Jeep and reimburse me $461.50 because this is a real safety hazard. What if I had been driving on the interstate at 70 mph and my six pound baby was in his car seat in the back seat, and his window fell in due to a bad regulator? that would be a major distraction to me and a definite safety concern for my baby. This is definitely not a parts problem. This is a huge safety issue.

I have been the sole owner of this vehicle purchased new in 2006 and have experienced door window issues occurring 8 times due to "lift plate, and regulator" problems. In investigating other complaint for this model year, window issues seem to be persistent problems. Date of occurrence are 8/4/07 back window; 11/5/07 front window; 10/29/08 passenger side rear window; 7/16/10 left right window; 8/19/14 right passenger window; 2/7/18 driver window, 7/13/20 front passenger window. I contacted Chrysler reporting the most recent issue and they stated the vehicle was too old for a active complaint or any reimbursement. I want awareness of this issue to be known and reported.

Key gets stuck in ignition. Forcing customers to pay $1,000 for a mistake made by Chrysler. The vehicle was in a parked position and key wont pull to last click. There is a temp fix to this but requires you to pull out plastic from gearshift to push down cable. Jiggling and doing everything you can to remove it will not fix the issue. Chrysler made faulty parts and was told by the dealer they are new parts available in arch 22nd for a permanent solution.

There is only one window that will come down and it's the front driver side, they all came down and would not come back up. I replaced a regulator in the right back window and it went again so I just had them all pinned up. I've also had to replace the ac compressor twice and just put in 07/06/2018. I had to have a transmission put in 3 years ago. And now the truck is just shutting down when I come to a stop but it will start back up. I had a diagnosis test done and it didn't show any problems, but it's still shutting down and I don't know why. The mechanic said it is probably something electrical or has to do with the computer.

There is a white powder like substance that comes out of the air vents and has an oily texture and an overpowering smell. It clouds the windshield and obstructs my vision. I cannot drive it due to the clouding and smell. This happens when I am driving anywhere, turning, or stationary. I do not know what caused this to happen as I have not had an accident in the car. I can't have it repaired as I cannot afford it. I have a nice vehicle, but cannot drive it in this condition. So the cause is unknown.

The clutch ignition, power switch of my truck keeps stalls. The vehicle don't start, when the clutch pedal is pushed down. Also the engine crank and start without the clutch pedal being pushed down causing the vehicle to unexpectedly lurch. I was notified by a dealer after inspection that said problem is a manufacturer problem, that was on recall. However said my vehicle VIN# could not be located with the recall. I called the manufacturer on 1-800-992-1997, and was told I have to pay for the repairs. I will highly appreciate your immediate intervention.

We all own cars. My car has this problem where the power windows suddenly stop working. In other words, I can lower my window and have it suddenly decide to not come back up, leaving me with a vehicle subject to all kinds of theft. This problem has happened thirteen times now on my 2006 Jeep Liberty and Chrysler expects me to pay $475 for each repair. I want chrylser to provide this service for me free of charge, only because they did the first twelve times. Without this support, I am in a position where I cannot keep my car and cannot afford a new one. Do you know what it feels like to lower your car window and have it suddenly not come back up" especially in the cold of winter? the customer service center gave me every excuse they could find to not help me out. And they also told me I was being pretentious. How would you feel if this was how a car manufacturer treated you" I come from a family of Jeep owners and Chrysler (the mother company) would rather lose my business and permit me to talk negatively about them then stop to help me. They even encouraged me to hit the net and start submitting reviews. This is sort of callous negligence is not what any kind of consumer should endure. At this point, what reason do I have to perform the service" what reason do I have to keep my car? what reason do I have to ever shop with their brand again"

Window regulator keeps failing. The first time it happened was in 2010. I have had 4 regulators replaced since I bought the car in 2006. I now have both driver side windows that are broken and will be fixed next week when parts come in. This is now the 5th and 6th regulators I have had to have don. Very aggravating!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday, the rear passenger window slid into door, will not come up. Can hear regulator but window is stuck in door. Vehicle was parked on a residential street, all windows were up, and about 20 minutes later the window had disappeared into the door. I called Chrysler but the VIN is not part of Chrysler's notice to owner's in 2010 regarding faulty window regulators.

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!
