Problems with 2006 Jeep Liberty ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

I the vehicle safety inspection and was told the left side lower ball joint going bad. the transmission module is tripping the check engine light. the driver side windows (front and back) makes awful sound going up. the ac compressor has stopped working.

August 2018 the electrical went out. radio/stereo, automatic door lockers. paid to get this fixed. august 2019. exact same problem. the dealer fixed it. it happened again 3 days later. then they kept car from 9/4-9/20 and could not fix it. i still have no electrical in steroe or door mechanisms.

I was on the highway came to a stop at a traffic light the jeep stalled and would not restart (no crank, no start). the traffic light was on a incline of a hill, the jeep was too heavy for one person to push up, and rolling backwards into oncoming 60+mph traffic was not a option. a group of good citizens helped push the jeep to safety. battery was fully charged, but security light was on, preventing a restart. in addition when the key is turn to the start position the check engine light does not light up as normal. plus ecm is not connecting to the scan tool. scan tool displays connection error. the ecm failed. before the failure the jeep ran perfect.

2006 jeep liberty. the rod linking between the key side of the ignition and the switch is broken. i have seen enough complaints online of the same year model to know this is a common failure that should be a recall. also, the rod is not available, only the entire column and it is very expensive.

1) front driver window regulator failed. 2) front passenger door armrest detached when closing the door.

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.

3 out of the 4 window regulators in my jeep have mechanically broken inside the door. this needs to be addressed. it's not a cheap fix for me to keep paying for your mistake. i was going to buy another jeep, but not so sure anymore

Since i brought the car in 2008 at times the interior dash light and head lights flicker also the air bag light all the sudden stays on. i have intermediate no start at this time so i can't really use the car. i believe this might be an electronic issue.

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.

Headlights flicker when accelerating on dash lights as well, when driving at night when both dash and headlights are used. also, when the lights are on the heat is also running, it acts like there is a short in the system. *tr

The sunroof drains into the passenger compartment and on to the fuse panel and freezes. i have to replace at $822.00. a service bulletin was issued in 2006 addressing this issue the drain issue was repaired by dealer during warranty in 2007. a frozen fuse panel can cause an electrical fire inside the car. *tr

My air bag light indicator activated, and at the same time my horn stopped working! after having it checked out by a repair shop, it was determined that a faulty clock spring assembly is the cause of the problem. this assembly has been responsible for the malfunction of air bags in other 2006 jeep liberty's; however, recalls of this problem apply to other vin numbers (beginning with the letter k). i have been told by a jeep dealership that the cost of repairs will exceed $400.00, and that my vehicle is currently not on the recall list. how is it possible that clock spring assembly's are that much different amongst the different vin numbers? i am highly suspicious, and in the meantime i have been told that in addition to having no horn that my air bags would not employ in the event there was an accident. does someone have to be killed in a vehicle for another vin number to be checked out on the current listing? *js

In nov 2014 as i was delivering mail in my rhd jeep liberty 06, my heat was on and my blower fan "blew up", blowing black smoke into the jeep from the vents and a burning smell came from the dash board. i took the jeep to my local garage in which time they tore the dash apart and found it had in fact "blew up". it now only runs on one speed (high). during the next few months (winter) every time i run my heater with the fan or the defrost my dash board goes haywire. meaning gauges shut down, all alert lights go on and/or flash and all beeps, buzzers and noises sound. it continues until i turn the heat/defrost off. i took it back to the garage on numerous occasions in which they ran the scanner with 7 codes coming up. after a few hours of sitting it would just reset itself and codes would disappear. everytime it rains now the dash board does the same thing. i have had 2 garages and several different mechanics look at it and can't figure out the problem. on april 25 i called chrysler to get my jeep in for the n46 recall and asked about the electrical issue and explained the situation. i told her it was a known problem in the jeep libertys. her response to me was "in the last 25 yrs i've worked here, i have never heard of this problem." so i said i'd like it looked at while its there for the recall issue. her response again was " you need to take it back to the garage that looked at it the first time, and you do know that we automatically charge $98 an hour for diagnostic checks." i was looking over my paper sent in the mail to me about the n46 recall today and found at the bottom of the paper it reads............"ask your dealer about the following notification. our records indicate that your vehicle also requires repair for notification g03" i google searched jeep liberty 06 recall g03 and found.........this is a blower fan issue. and chrysler won't even look at it. *tr

My friend was behind me and noticed my left rear signal indicator and brake lights were not working. i took my car to a shop for repair and was told the electrical system shorted out and melted the components. the shop owner has had other jeep liberty owners come in for the same problem in their cars. he thinks it should be a recall issue. i need to know if this is true. *tr

1) as spring arrived i rolled down the windows and there is a noise which sounds like card board flapping as wheel turns. 2) during the winter while driving slow over speed bumps it sounded like rusty springs. 3) another on/off problem - when i park; and turn key to off it pass off position to acc position. *tr

2006 jeep liberty clockspring malfunction. contact with dealership yielded info that no replacement part is available, yet the car is rendered unsafe without the replacement of malfunctioning part. owners have to decide whether to drive unsafely or park it until the part is available, which most people cannot afford to do. this is a widespread problem that chrysler is not addressing.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. the contact stated that the vehicle would not start when the key was inserted into the ignition and turned to the "on" position. the lights on the dashboard would illuminate, however the vehicle would not start. the contact also stated that the doors would not lock properly due to the failure. the failure recurred on multiple occasions. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and a dealer for diagnostic testing and both stated that the key was not communicating with the module in the ignition or vise versa. the mechanic stated that the vehicle needed a new key or the ignition module needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 97,000. the vin was not available.

Could not remove key from ignition. mechanic discovered cable from shifter to ignition broken. mechanic also discovered piece within shifter broken that allowed shifter to move in and out of park without depressing brake. *js

The rear driver's side window failed to go up after i had lowered it a little bit. this is the second time this window has had this issue and will be the fifth time i have had this issue since owning the vehicle since 2006. when i contacted the dodge / jeep / chrysler dealership about this issue, they told me the warranty was no longer valid, in other words it expired in march of 2014 and i would now be responsible for paying for any work needed to be done to repair this window issue. this dealership does have my prior records on file in their computer system of the 4 previous times i've been there to have this issue repaired as well. *tr

When driving i would stop somewhere get back in to the jeep go to turn the jeep on and nothing would happen. it wouldn't turn over. mechanic said to pump the gas. sometimes it would start sometimes it wouldn't. key would get stuck in the ignition and you had a hard time pulling it out. took it in to the mechanic for a day and they couldn't find anything wrong with it, no codes. drive again jeep would do the same thing. then when far from home got into jeep to go home and it wouldn't turn over, wouldn't start, couldn't jump it, but the battery and all electrical worked. had to have it towed to the mechanic. after 2 days they found it to be a broken pin inside the ignition. a plastic piece wrapped around a metal piece broke. $800 later after towing,parts and labor. this is a manufacture defect or just plain cheap parts. liberty's should be recalled too. *tr

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

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. the contact stated that they parked the vehicle and shut the engine off, but could not take the key out of the ignition switch. the contact was a mechanic and noticed the shifting cable was loose and pushed it back in which allowed him to take the key out of the ignition. the dealer was notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 80,000. updated 5/4/15*cn

Our jeep liberty failed inspection due to a failed clock spring. this part is backordered with an expected delivery time frame of more than 7 months. since this was a safety inspection failure, this vehicle is non-drivable. we were forced to scrap the liberty and purchase another vehicle (ford). we received absolutely no help from the dealership, or from chrysler corporate. chrysler case number = [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

I tried to make a u turn road was narrow so i had to back up and got stuck in the snow . i rocked it back and forth a few times and then we noticed smoke and fire coming out from under the hood .we got out of the vehicle and within 10 minutes the whole jeep was on fire! there was no damage to the vehicle when i got stuck not a clew why this vehicle would have started on fire. *tr

The clock spring on this jeep has broken and has been broken for more than two months. this has disabled the horn, abs system, cruise control, vehicle stability program and most importantly the driver's airbag. this is a known problem to jeep and they are doing nothing about it. they just continue to say the part is on back order. this is unsafe and someone must force a mandatory immediate solution. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. the contact received a recall notification for nhtsa campaign number: 13v252000 (electrical system); however, the part needed to do the repair was unavailable. the contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the repair. the manufacturer was made aware of the issue. the contact had not experienced a failure.

The key cannot be removed from the ignition switch. tried restarting and shutting off vehicle, made sure it was completely in park and even wiggled the key back and forth. the key has been stuck in the ignition ever since. nothing else is affected by this just cannot remove the key. *tr

Have now had to replace all four power window regulators. 75,000 miles

Keys stuck in ignition. would not come out which left leaving my vehicle unsafe to leave unattended. took it to the dealership today and they had to replace the entire shifter and something in the ignition. i was told this happens often in this particular model. total repair was $699. *tr

My rear driver side window stopped working and would slide down until it slid down so much i had to pull it up just for it to fall completely into the door the next day. i called the dealership and they wont fix it because it was manufactured before the recall date. i have two small children and cant drive them anywhere because its to cold and the wind is to much. i can barely afford food much less a $240 window repair. *tr
