Problems with 2006 Jeep Liberty STRUCTURE

I called chrysler (800-247-9753) and spoke to [xxx] about nhtsa reference #13v252000; gas tank assembly recall and was told my vehicle. she told me my 2006 was not on their list for recall. i gave her the last 8 digits of my vin and she said it was not on the recall. i referenced the nhtsa number and was told the same thing. i told her i am the only owner of the vehicle and purchased it from barnett chrysler/jeep, white bear lake, mn in mar 2007. again i was told my vin is not on recall. i asked how that could be; the gas tanks were not placed in different locations depending on the vehicle. they are placed in the same location on the vehicle. when i asked why my vehicle is not on the list, all i was told is the vin isn't listed. i was told it would be corrected with a tow hitch; which i do not currently have. i would like to know where i can go to file a further complaint about how this is being handled and why i cannot get any definite answers to my questions.

This was the first time that we had filled the tank up on our 2006 jeep liberty since we purchased it on june 7, 2013. while standing at the pump waiting for the tank to fill up, the tank started overflowing with gas. i had gas all over me, the car, and the ground. i wrote it off as being a problem with the pump. 1 week later i go to a different pump to fill it up, and it happens again. so i called the dealership that services my vehicles and explained the problem and we took it in for them to look at. they said that this is a common problem but jeep will not fix the issue. i started looking on jeep forums and have found quite a few instances of this same problem on the jeep liberty and these people have also filed claims to the nhtsa. the only way for the problem to be fixed is for the tank to be replaced because there is a check valve in the tank that is causing this. this is a very costly repair as i have called a couple of dealerships around in the are with the tank alone costing over $1,400 dollars. this is a known issue that jeep refuses to fix. it is a safety issue due to a manufacturing defect. *tr

Received important safety recall n46/nhtsa 13v-252 about a year ago. have inquired with the dealer several times and not getting anywhere with the inspection of oem trailer hitch. they keep telling me that parts not available yet. i am very concerned about rear end collision and fuel leakage. *tr

My original intent was to file a complaint about a gas overflow issue, but after seeing all the other liberty complaints, i have included other issues i have: 1. for at least two years, when pumping gas, the gas has continued to flow even after the automatic flow has shut off. i now stand at the pump and when i think it is getting full, i start pumping by hand to avoid the overflow. after checking on the internet, this is an issue other liberty owners experience. i did receive the initial recall notice for 13v-252, but nothing since to say the part is in. since the gas overflow is experienced by many owners, is this part of the recall? 2. check engine light is always on. it has been re-set many times; is ok for a day or two and then re-appears. per owner's manual, this is not an issue unless the light is flashing, which it is not, but why does this continue to occur? 3. both back electric windows have fallen down without warning. both are now secured in place with tape, as it would be too expensive to repair. 4. the back left door will not open from the inside. *tr

My mother bought a used 2006 jeep liberty has never had a problem,so in march of 2010 me and my husband decided to purchase a used 2006 jeep liberty from a trusty car dealer. within 2 months of having this jeep our right rear window dropped into the door as we were driving to a family function. my biggest fear was that 1 of our 3 kids could have been hurt by broken glass. my father repaired the window by wedging a piece of wood between the door and the window. i later called jeep who told me there was no recall on this jeep and that they would gladly split the cost with me which only cost $600 per window and they won't warranty because they know it will happen again. i left it alone cause we could not afford this at the time. a few months later in november 2010 the left side rear window slipped,once again my father repaired it at best he could. i finally went online to see what i could do repair the problem myself at a cheaper cost. i came across a web site steigers.com the gentleman who owns this company has created a replacement piece for the broken part and it works great. i replaced it myself with no knowledge of repairing cars. the only hard part was working in such a tight space..thank god my hands are small enough to squeeze in between the door and the window area. the part is about a $100 with shipping and handling and so far seems to have solved the problem it took about an hour to do all the work on 1 window. thats not our only problem with this lovely vehicle we have also had problems with the fuel spilling out when filling the tank. the tank seems to build pressure or catch air. i don't know all i know is it scared me really bad the first time.and we have also had problems with the esp especially when you hit a turn to hard or hit a big bump. how wonderful a 4x4 vehicle who doesn't like big turns,bumps or snow. and the most expensive part is the broken window..they told me its called a binding crack it happens to all jeeps so don't force your jeep to do its job..and work. *tr

My 2006 jeep liberty has a serious problem with the window regulators and lift plates. june 1, 2010, was the first regulator to go out. the second one went out shortly after that. now the first one has dropped again. the first time, i paid over $400 for the repair. the second one was covered by chrysler completely, and they reimbursed me $333 for the first repair when the second repair was done. they are going to "consider" reimbursing me for this third one, but i have to jump through all of their hoops for it to be considered. this is a serious problem that is affecting many many liberty owners. there should be an extended warranty on these regulators and plates. my daughter is driving this car and should not have to be concerned with whether her windows are going to stay up. this is a serious safety issue. nhtsa should demand that chrysler either recall these or at bare minimum put an extended warranty on all libertys for these parts. ugh. this is ridiculous. oh, and we bought the car used in november 2009. for all we know, multiple regulators might have been put on this car in its first 36,000 miles before we bought it. *kb

The window regulator's in my 2006 jeep liberty continuously break and the window falls down into the door. there are thousands of complaints of this happening all over the country. this is very unsafe when a child is traveling in the car for the window to just fall into the door. and chrysler will only replace with another part that will do the same thing in 6 months.

I bought a 2006 jeep liberty limited on 8-20-09 in excellent condition with approximately 50,000 miles. before i even drove the car off the dealerships lot, the rear driver's-side window/window regulator failed rendering the window inoperable. dealership did not have part and had to seal in up position so as not to fall, while part is being ordered. upon extensive research on the internet on various highly respected car review/rating sites, i have learned that the 2006 jeep liberty has a known defect in quality of window regulator design and material used which causes windows to drop into doors or cease operating routinely on average of every 2-3 months. yesterday while driving, my rear passenger window dropped while i was driving 65 mph on a major highway in traffic. i was subsequently startled to the point i swerved, and narrowly missed hitting another car which would have caused a multiple car collision on a major interstate. i have since taped my window in the "up" position until i can resolve this issue with dealer. dealership has informed me that they will only cover this first replacement/repair, and that i will be responsible for future window regulator repairs of $500.00 each. this is absolutely unacceptable. a company/dealership should stand 100% behind their product and should certainly address potential safety issues resulting from something as critical as this. the known window regulator failure could cause accidents, bodily injury, theft/vandalism issues, and depreciation and degradation of vehicle interior due to weather damage. i will be filing complaints with state attorney general and car manufacturer/corporate headquarters. a safety recall should immediately be issued, and these window regulators should be redesigned with something other than plastic that has proven to repeatedly fail. while certainly an inconvenience of time, and a financial drain and stress to consumer, this is most assuredly a very serious danger to occupants & other drivers. *tr

The power windows in my 2006 jeep liberty have a design defect. the original design includes a plastic part which breaks and allows the window to fall down into the door. my driver-side passenger window has been held up with tape for the past 12 months. i recently had to pay $250 to have the driver's-side window regulator replaced. researching online i have seen incidents where owners have had to have the same window replaced two or three times at $300-$500 per incident.mopar body service bulletin 23-008-09 and 23-014-08 detail the issue and chrysler's correction. please let me know ([xxx]) if this is subject to a nhtsa safety recall or of i should start a class-action lawsuit to correct this defect. there is an aftermarket kit which replaces the faulty plastic part with a steel part at http://www.steigerperformance.com. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. the contact was driving 65 mph when the rear driver side window independently opened and fell into the door panel. the contact had experienced the failure twice prior to the most recent failure. the identical failure occurred to the rear passenger side window as well. the vehicle was taken to the dealer twice and was repaired. the manufacturer was notified but offered no assistance. the failure mileage was 16,000 and the current mileage was 40,000. ..updated 09/04/12 *bf the consumer stated there were six (6) incidents (3 each) involving the passenger and driver's rear window. the most recent window failure was on 7/25/2012. updated 09/12/2012 *js

During these seven years the system are broken crystals have arranged more than twice per glass and still the same problem will fall by itself or during these driving parked i understand it's a manufacturing problem since the warranty is running out continues with the same problem i understand it is a failure of the material that made ??the system that is not usual is the same piece that holds the glass is its position to raise or lower by the electrical system and the engine is still working but can not do anything to take it to the dealer to tell you which is the system that is broken rails i understand that should change the material that is manufactured or seek a permanent solution. *tr

Over the course of the nine years i have owned this liberty, each of the 4 power windows have failed multiple times.the windows simply fall down freely without warning, and can not be placed back in an upright, closed position. this has occurred twice on each front window, and on each the left/rear and right rear windows it has happened three separate times. though this is an ongoing and known safety and security issue, there has been no service bulletin or recall as far as i know. chrysler/jeep customer service and local dealer are unwilling to recognize the problem or cover the repairs. jeep quotes us over $600 for the repair before reducing the estimates, due only to my persistent complaints. i understand there has been a class action suit brought by others on this very issue.

Dt*: the contact stated after having a dvd player installed in the vehicle by the dealer, leaking occurred between the driver and passenger side seats while parked or in motion consistently after or during a rain storm. the leaking created mold and the vehicle was taken to the dealer on four separate occasions but could not find the source of the problem. the manufacturer was contacted and expressed that the dealership needed to repair the vehicle. the water damage was covered under warranty. the contact received a letter from the manufacturer that stated that there was nothing more the dealer or manufacturer could do. the vehicle was not driven since the incident due to mold infestation. the dealer and manufacture refused to provide additional assistance.*ak 08/29/06 plastic trim piece on dash up by windshield popping up on passenger side. map light lens coming out and dome light replaced. *tt
