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 ...

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. while at a stop sign and making a right turn, the vehicle made a loud grinding noise and stalled. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the contact moved the shifter into park and noticed that the ball joint and an unknown tire became detached without an impact occurring. the vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. the vehicle was not repaired. the vin was included in nhtsa campaign numbers: 13v252000 (fuel system, gasoline, structure) and 18v278000 (suspension). the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 150,000.

The vehicle was in need of new brakes, rotors, parking brake shoes and hardware at 93000 miles. a grinding noise from the rear drivers side braking system was present when in motion and assumed to be warped rotors. when the rotors were removed it was found that the parking brake backing plate and the bolts that secure it have rusted to the extent that the plate is loose and no longer secured, which makes the parking brake defective and is a serious safety concern. this appears to be a very common problem and for a vehicle under 10 years old and 100000 miles to have parts rust so severely that they fail is an issue that chrysler should address, as it is obvious that this part was not made to last.

Today the jeep dealer said the frame rail was not good enough to install the hitch as called for in the recall. i called the chrysler complaint line and was told there is nothing chrysler can do. so now i must drive an unsafe vehicle, how can i sell it, or even trade it in. what am i supposed to do now? i read that vehicles less than 10 years old could be purchased back. these jeeps were recalled for rear suspension componets rusting up so now that the frames is rusting i have to drive a death trap. i am wondering how many times chrysler is using these excuses in order to not do anything. one could even think this recall was crafted in such a way that chrysler could get off using these excuses what are the people in my situation supposed to do????
