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?

I was driving home christmas morning and a few miles before i got home the lower and higher ball joints separated from each other. i had no control of the vehicle, thankfully there was no one else on the road with me. i was headed straight on road when incident happened. vehicle bounced many times before coming to a stop off the road. i was informed later after incident that this vehicle had a recall for what i had just described above. vehicle was bought used from dealership and have no record or info if this recall being fixed. *tr

Jeep window regulator on rear passenger side door suddenly failed for no obvious reason. window just fell inside the door while the car was parked and the entire system must be replaced.

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????

On september 2, 2015 i brought my 2006 jeep liberty in to a dealership, benson chrysler, in greer sc for a rear structure reinforcement recall repair. after being left at the dealership for 4.5 hours, i was informed that the recall repair could not be completed due to a large amount of rust on the bolts. i was told by the manager, brad that more than one technician look at the car and determined it could not be repaired. i left the dealership in despair with major concern because the recall involves a chance of the jeep fuel tank leaking during a rear end collision which could result in a fire. now as a mother and wife i cannot imagine continuing to drive the vehicle knowing the at any given time i could lose my car and possibly the life of me and my family. please help me by addressing the issue of how chrysler plan to handle this recall. i strongly feel it should not be ignored by suggesting me to continue driving a vehicle that pose such a great danger . your attention is greatly appreciated. updated 11/02/15.*jb

[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
