2004 JEEP Liberty

Differential making load humm noise and transmission is high rpm from stop 1st&2nd once in 3rd it’s better the humming stays always

fule pump failed had to tow to repair shop

mY SPARE TIRE EXPLODED IN MY DRIVE WAY WHILE PARKED. IT BLEW THE FENDER COMPLETELY OFF AND THE WHEEL WELL THING TOO. I JUST PUT IT ON A DAY BEFORE THIS HAPPENED.

After checking recalls it has become apparent to me that my 2004 Jeep Liberty Limited has not been properly fixed due to failures not occurring when other vehicles of the same make, model and year had theirs. Affected area are the door locks not unlatching when remote is depressed. A boom sound is made when accelerating anywhere between 30-48 mph. Fluid in the anti-freeze reserve bottle has overheated to the point of boiling or steaming some damage might have occurred due to corrosive nature of anti-freeze.

Window regulator failed. My window went down into my door panel whIle I was driving

Recalled to install a hitch at manufacturers expense for a possible defect on gas tank.

Really concerned about this problem. It is our family daily car.

Not interested in money or another car, we just want them to fix the defective parts.

Engine died and under service agreement engine supposedly replacement after only a year after vehicle purchase. Fuel expense excessive not sure if i have a fuel leak. Odometer reading was never reset after engine was replaced or fixed never got an actual explanation of what and why I had engine failure for a new car. For over ten years I get vehicle serviced every quarter. I have been dissatisfied with vehicle purchase for the last five years with no hope of vendication until now.

THE WINDOW REGULATOR, WHICH IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES, IS NOT WORKING & NEEDS REPLACEMENT.

VALUE SPRING BROKE.

Tt was the regulator. This is the third window. Both of the front ones broke last year a month apart. When the first one broke I called to get a price for the regulator from the dealer. It was $300 which I thought was way to expensive. I found one at a savage yard for $100.(The one from the salvage yard had a metal part instead of plastic in the broken area.) We repalced it ourselves in about 45 minutes. We did the same thing when the second one broke. I called Chrysler after we fixed the second one. They said that I should call if I had anymore problems and they would see if it would be covered under the extended warranty. I called Chrysler when the third one broke. I was told that since my Jeep had almost 100,000 miles on it that I should expect the regulators to possibly go bad from the road vibration. Really. We have had two Chrysler full size vans with well over 100,000 miles on them with no window problems. Also, my son has had two Jeeps with over 180,000 miles that he used for off roading that never had any window problems. I told this to the person at Chrysler and  they told me that Jeeps are built to last! Then why the window problems? Chrylser told me I should make an appointment at a Jeep dealer to have the problem diagnosed before they would decide if they were going to pay for the repair. I made an appointment. The service guy told me he would let me know if the diagnoses would be more than $100.00. Told him to forget it I didn’t need someone to charge me to tell me what was wrong with the window. So, not knowing if Chrysler would pay for the repair I left and ordered one from the salvage yard. My husband is repacing it right now

The Liberty had a recall by Jeep which they never notified us about. I took the vehicle for the recall repair to Napleton\’s Northlake Auto Park (dealership purchased). They returned the vehicle in a DANGEROUS condition, they never test driven the vehicle after the repair. During the repair they damaged the camber and front toe settings and the left front tire was in such an angle that it was riding on the sidewall instead flat on it\’s threads. Immediately returned the vehicle for the necessary repairs to be done correctly the service manager states that a wheel alignment is not part of the recall procedure and the vehicle is fine. After investating with my mechanic and GoodYear and on websites. All state that changing balljoints requires a \"wheel alignment\". This dealer is letting vehicles in a dangerous condition leave the shop with no regard of anyone\’s safety. PLEASE BE AWARE. When the dealer refused to repair the Jeep I immediately took the vehicle to GoodYear and had it alligned. P.S- I even called my Chevy dealer service dept and asked them for the procedure of changing a balljoint without mentioned makes or models and they \"its a must to do the alignment\". EVERYONE BE AWARE OF YOUR SAFETY

RE: 2004 Jeep Libery Limited 4WD VIN 1J8-GL58KX4W-255517Tires: Goodyear Eagle R-SA P235/70R16Mileage: Approx. 1,000 (approx 1 month old)This is not a \"failure,\" just an extremely unsafe condition. Rear end of car skids dangerously in LOW-SPEED turns, on normally wet (not puddled) roads, when in 2WD. This has happened several times in the last 3 weeks, always in slow-speed suburban driving. (Thank God.) Skid happens when you make either a right or left hand turn, and then apply gas during the middle of the turn (as you do to maintain speed in a low-speed turn) at which time, the rear wheels lose traction and skid to the outside of the turn. I understand the Goodyear Eagle R-SA tires are poor in the wet traction dept, but this must be a specially-bad batch, because this skid occurs so readily. Dealer service manager (Georgetown Jeep, Georgetown, CT) admits that wet weather traction is a problem for the Liberty and he says \"we advise using 4 WD when the roads are wet.\" Well this floored me! No one told us that when the car was delivered. And the owners manual does not say his. The car is currently at Georgetown Jeep Service Dept, where they can find nothing wrong, but based on my request to the dealership\’s owner, a Chrysler rep — Michael English — will be examining the car and tires on Thurs 9/16.

My beautiful 32-yr. old daughter was killed as a result of an automobile accident on October 31, 2006. She was rear-ended on Interstate-10 by a man driving a Ford F-150 pick-up truck. The vehicle she was driving, a 2004 Jeep Liberty, burst into flames upon impact and my daughter was burned to death. Since my daughter\’s death, I have learned that this same thing has happened before and Chrysler has had numerous law suits that were settled out of court. The problem is, the fuel tank and filler neck on the Jeep Liberty (and Jeep Grand Cherokee) was designed and installed in a location (behind the rear bumper) that is susceptible to rupture or puncture in a rear-end collision. When gasoline escapes from a ruptured or punctured fuel tank, a high risk of fire and explosion exists. Chrylser knows full well about this problem, but apparently it is cheaper for them to settle out of court than to change the design of the vehicle. Because of this terrible tragedy and tremendous loss of such a beautiful life, I feel an obligation to warn everyone of the potential danger when driving these vehicles. The public has a right to know BEFORE they purchase these vehicles. It was also determined that her seat belt failed by the way her seat fell all the way back when she was hit.

vehicled died. towed to 2 dealorships. 70k powertrain warranty (which vehicle is still covered under) was denied by chrysler due to sludge. oil change receipts and dates were provided to Chrysler, as many as possible. Chrysler denied warranty and incorrectly blamed customer for lack of maintenance. 3.7 liter engines have had alot of complaints about sludge and cooling problems, there was even a recall on some. Chrysler refuses to honor warranty.

I bought the car used after i've been hit in the back from somebody and i no longer had my subaru or the money to buy another subaru so i was stuck buying this car in the meantime and the windows work but only for a little bit 6 hours after i bought the car the engine light turned on course it didn't have any transmission fluid so i put some in but one window dropped had to pull it out and now the driver door does completely will not roll up or rolled down and then i see that they have done some work to it because i didn't notice when i bought it that the door has power they have opened it another issue is that i washed my car when i call the person that bought it was a little small dealership i stated that i washed the car he stated to me to me "you washed the car?" i said yes i didn't ask any questions however the next day the front left headlight went out and it cost me $15 so not sure what else i can do it appears that there was a recall there is a recall on the fuel tanker what not they can catch fire i would like the recall to be repaired also i should have noticed that the car occasionally randomly feel like it's fishtailing while i'm driving i was struck by a vehicle on the freeway while i was walking after my jeep grand cherokee that i had prior to my subaru completely died on the middle of the freeway i began to walk to the call box when i was struck by a car so i have to have a safe car i am a single mother and grandmother thank you for your attention in this matter. *tr

While driving to work, the passenger heated seat caught fire. the jeep grand cherokee already has a recall for this same problem under nhtsa campaign # 09v117000. i contacted jeep in an effort to get them to expand their recall and they basically told me they couldn't do anything. please, assist me in investigating this problem and having the company fix this problem. i'm guessing the grand cherokee, which is more luxurious, has many more vehicles with heated seats than the liberty thus more complaints. having said that, just because there are fewer vehicles with the problem doesn't mean the vehicle is any less hazardous than the cherokee.

Lights flicker when driving at night . temporary loss of sight of the road . major safety issue . i see mulitple complaints with no fixes , and no recall. online shows different models other than jeep liberty with the same issue . i am not sure why they are not taking this seriously . someone could die get seriously injured, also you could run over someone or animal when the blindness occurs it has last several minutes before the lights come back on . try to pull over to the side of the road with complete blindness very scary . this happens every time i drive at night . the time intervals between the flickering varies. if nothing is done which i hope is not the case it has been documented in case i have an accident die or kill someone.

Goes in reverse but when putting it into drive goes a foot and the breaks come on by themselves. locks up and cant move. does this in my driveway and on the road, not drivable. i almost got killed when the breaks locked up and a vehicle behind me had to avoid hitting me. this is a manufacture defect and should be recalled before someone does get killed. there are no pictures to upload you cant see inside the break system or what ever it is that is causing this horrible waiting to be fatal accident.

Fuel tank straps rotted & broke off

Two concerns - the first being safety related. there is metal grinding noise when braking. all speeds - slow or fast, and in all "drives", two wheel or four wheel drive. no mechanics i have visited have been able to diagnose it. there are hundreds of other jeep liberty owners experiencing the same problem. i have spoken in person with several and read hundreds of complaints online of the same thing. secondly, three of my windows have now failed to operate. also a widespread jeep liberty issue with a piece in the lifting mechanism. the motors are operating just fine, but there is a piece inside the door that breaks and the windows fail to open or close thereafter. sometimes, a lifting mechanism spring-looking piece grinds upwards into the cabin of the vehicle when the "broken" window mechanisms are accidentally activated. also concerned these spring mechanisms could snap in the cabin and cause extreme harm.

Owner of vehicle opened door and leaned inside to start vehicle. he inserted key and turned the ignition to the "start" position. the driver's side air bag spontaneously deployed. owner was injured. no other air bags deployed. seat belt pretensioners did not deploy.

While driving, it would feel as if the rear of the vehicle was going side to side. when accelerating, the car would feel as if it was torquing in one direction and then when i would brake it would feel as if it would pull the other direction. i had noticed this feeling for a while but it was worse on wet or snowy roads and also while going at higher rates of speed (over 50 mph). i was unable to detect what exactly was happening because it had developed so gradually and i regularly drive this vehicle. i thought when i was driving it was either windy or that the vehicle was sliding due to wet roads. this caused an issue when driving in the winter and caused me to hit a guardrail. i was driving my daughter back to college. while accelerating, the car lunged to the left, i then thought i was sliding and proceeded to pump the brakes to slow down which then caused the vehicle to pull to the right, slamming the vehicle into the guardrail. about 8 months after the accident, my husband was driving the vehicle when he noticed this pulling and was able to describe it. i took it in and both rear control arms had to be replaced.

While driving, the gear shift slips out of gear without the clutch being used. this is a manual transmission and at 155,000 miles, this is low mileage in my consideration for this to be happening. this is a safety hazard for myself or any other cars around.

As the driver was making a left turn into the closest left turning lane and accelerated at approximately 15mph, the vehicle fishtailed and swerved as the driver attempted to brake. there were several attempts to correct the turn however the vehicle was unresponsive and continued to swerve. the driver had no control of the rear end of the vehicle, almost as if something had come undone. there was a collision with a tree and a street sign due to great amounts of swerving that resulted in the car running off the side of the road.

While car was park .between the driver side and passenger side where window control is caught on fire burning car to a point where fire department officials were here to shut off.i have pictures to show u but file to big.i need someone to call me asap.

On my 2004 jeep liberty i have had the lower front ball joints replace a few years back by the f23 recall. this week as i was replacing upper control arms, which come pre assembled with the ball joint, i noticed the boots for the lower ball joints were again damaged. i also noticed that there is a loud noise when going over unsmooth surface roads, etc. i am thinking this could be caused by the rear upper control arm. now i'm not a professional mechanic, but common sense tells me that the engineering on the suspension has been compromised. i contacted chrysler, who told me to contact a dealer, who told me they would get back to me on this problem. i also experienced multiple window regulator problems, along with recalls on the air bags system as well as gas tank protection recalls.

Something loose and smoking under my suv, told has to do with front end suspension , the 2 front tires shakes ,driving over railroad tracks, speed bumps etc. causes my front to look lower down to the ground. the r r side along with back tire sensor saying preform service. my front end suspension vibrates and shake like its coming apart, along with tire sensor flashing.driving city neighborhoods with high speed bumps causes the suspension to feel as if it coming off vehicle.

While driving to work my engine just quit as i was shifting from 4th to 5th gear. i coasted off to the side of the highway and saw smoke coming from under the hood. when i lifted the hood, there were flames shooting up from everywhere! the biggest flames were near the side of the battery, but not on the battery so i shut the hood and moved away from the vehicle. within the 5 minutes it took the fire department to arrive, it was completely burned up, including the front panel inside the jeep. any part of the front of the vehicle that was not metal, was gone... burnt!! as of this time, it is still unknown to me what caused the fire but chrysler sent an investigator out to view the vehicle and sent me a letter stating they would not be doing anything about it. i believe it was a wiring problem and have never had anyone work on any of the wiring since i purchased the jeep in 2010. i have no invoices to show repairs( as vehicle is totaled beyond repair), insurance( it did not cover a non collision fire) or etc... just pictures and a fire report, if you want those.

The window regulator clip has broken on the rear windows at least six times. there is a plastic clip that evidently gets brittle and breaks. this clip should have been made of a stronger material. this keeps happening on windows that we never even use. so, it is not from wear and tear. jeep covered the cost six times, but will not cover it again. it is very expensive to fix.

Front passenger side, lower ball joint has failed (again) even after replaced by recall # 06v288000... taking a left hand turn on a city street and it blew out, thankfully i was able to pull over into a bus stop. dealership is refusing to cover them under warranty. nhtsa action number : ea06008

My passenger side window has fallen down and it will cost about $400 to have it repaired. from my understanding this is caused by a defective window regulator. i have read that chrysler used a cheap plastic clip in its assembly. this is the 2nd window this has happened to. in searching the internet there are thousands of people that have had this problem, most of the problems are in the 2004 model. jeep really should do a recall on this problem. i only have 36,000 miles on this vehicle and these problems should be paid for by jeep chrysler. i was driving to the store the other day in pouring down rain when all of the sudden the window dropped down. i stopped my car and tried to pull it up, but if fell down too far. the inside of my car got very wet because of this and i had to return home. i then took it to my local repair shop. it is still there, so i have been without a car for 4 days. as i have said there are hundreds of complaints about this problem and chrysler jeep won't do a thing about it for their customers.

While driving, the sunroof motor assembly suffered a catastrophic failure while closing. the plastic rail assembly made a loud cracking sound and the glass wedged firmly against the roof, half open. this occured shortly after my replacing all 4 door window regulators (for the second time) due to what can only be described as negligence in the engineering design of the plastic carrier assembly that cannot support the load of the window as it is intended to. the failure to properly design these components has led to the windows falling into the door unexpectedly while driving, each time causing an unnerving distraction to me as a driver, and unnecessarily endangered myself and the general public in the vicinity when these events occurred. it appears there are countless instances of this issue being described on line, and a recall needs to occur.

There is a recall on my car for the gas tank being too close to the rear bumper. i brought it to jeep in nelliston,n.y. they install a trailer hitch to correct the problem.they worked on it for one hour, and then told me they can't install the trailer hitch,because they broke a hole tap off in one of the mounting holes, this is not my fault, they will not correct my recall, and they will not even call me back, they tell me there is nothing they can do. so they are not going to honor the recall on my car, as far as they are concerned, i can just go ahead and burn up in my car, if i get rear ended,

The window actuator came apart and wrapped around the door latch mechanism in the back where my toddler sets, we were unable to open the door. my husband had to take the door panel apart from the inside and cut the wire in order for the door to be opened. all of my window actuators have stopped working and have had to be replaced.

The rear window on the driver's side dropped into the door today. i looked it up online and it appears to be related to the window regulator and it is a commonly reported problem. if it is so common, i have trouble believing that they wouldn't create a recall. i guess jeep is waiting for a large number of injuries first.

I just purchased the car and found that the car has an outstanding recall. it is chrysler recall #n46 or nhtsa #13v-252. which is related to potential fire from rear end collision. i just called jeep chrysler at 5130 nesconsett hwy, port jefferson station, ny 11776. they indicated to me that there is a 6 month waiting period in order to get the car in to fix the recalled item. i think that is an unreasonable amount of time to have to wait to fix this potentially disastrous issue. is this ok? i would like to be able to get this done much sooner as i fear for my family's safety. *tr

We received a recall for our 2004 jeep liberty. it is a safely issue where these vehicles often ignite when rear-ended. we have been contacting the dealership since last august and they claim not to have the parts. we have notes on the number of times called and their various vague responses. i don't know if it is jeeps shortcomings or the dealership, but they are each blaming one another. meanwhile we are driving an unsafe vehicle. is there anything else we can do? this seems to be quite a long response time. *tr

There was not an accident. i'm just having a very hard (impossible) time getting any jeep dealer to perform the safety recall n46 (installing trailer hitch on the back of jeep to prevent fires/explosions in a collision). every jeep dealer keeps telling me the parts on national backorder and there is nothing they can do. *tr

Chrysler sent me a letter informing me of recall n46. i am seeking reimbursement for an oem hitch that i had installed prior to the recall. i have spoken to chrysler many times over the last 2 years and followed their instructions for inspection and submission of documentation for the oem hitch. i have a case # from chrysler. despite repeated promises to call me and /or process the refund, i have had no contact from chrysler. my latest attempt to contact them was 1/20/15, at which point i was told i would be contacted within a week. what do i have to do to get the refund? *tr

Rear driver side passenger window literally fell into the door for no apparent reason. the window now has to be taped up continuously and the window falling down can be a hazard and dangerous of kids in the back. not to mention this is a very large and common problem with this model. jeep/chrysler needs to recall this defect in workmanship and parts a to make sure the windows just don't fall down into the door. this is not a result of abuse just lousy parts and design and workmanship. its dangerous and needs to be recalled. google the problem and see how many thousands have complained. then think about those that have not complained. *tr

My headlights turned off for about 5-7 seconds before coming back on again. this happened while i was doing 55mph in a very dark area and made it very difficult to see the road as there were no other cars around. this was quite scary as i had my 6 month old daughter in the car with me. the following morning my headlights turned on and off again 2 times quickly in a row while i was on the freeway traveling at 70 mph. again my daughter was with me on my way to daycare. this is very dangerous as i cannot see the road and it also appears as if i am flashing my lights at other drivers. hopefully when i take my vehicle to the dealership this week it can be resolved but judging on the complaints here if i can't duplicate the problem they can't fix it. this is a completely random event that has happened a few times now and is becoming more frequent. it sounds like i'm not the only one having this problem. *tr

On numerous occasions including today, my 2004 jeep liberty has fallen out of gear. previously i was on the highway doing about 60 mph and the car switched from drive to neutral on its own. today the most recent incident i was leaving wawa to get coffee and on my way to work, at the red light the car was in drive, foot on brake as one would normally do. when the light switched to green i lightly tapped the accelerator/gas pedal and the car sat there for a moment without moving again as if it was in neutral. so i pressed the gas pedal again only this time the car started to reverse, as the gear shift clearly showed that i was again in drive. this is very dangerous, thank god both times this has occurred that no other vehicle was behind me or else they may have been a fatal accident especially when i was on the highway. i have read online numerous accounts where this has happened to other jeep owners i am very dissatisfied that it seems there was no recall with this issue as far as my research shows. i do hope that some one sincerely takes the time to look over the data and any other occurrences of this issue. *tr updated 3/17/16 *js

Recall #l27 recall issued to "northern states" for the effect of salt on lower rear arms. i live in ruidoso new mexico in a snow/salt area at 7,000 foot elevation. i almost had a wreck with the lower rear arms malfunctioning. i had the car repaired and then found out there was a recall issued years before. chrysler has refused to pay the invoice for fixing the lower rear arms. they claim the recall is for "northern states" only. sorry, this appears to be a chrysler financial decision. since they admit that salt can negatively effect the lower rear arms, the error seems to be chrysler defining where in the country there are heavy salt/snow winters. i am simply thankful we did not have a wreck and want reimbursement for the repair. i feel it is grave mistake not to have the recall apply to jeep liberty 2014. if the car is not in a salt/snow area there should be no reason for recall repairs. if a car is used in a salt/snow area anywhere in the united states and it is impacted by salt then the recall repair should be completed. and--it is the right thing to do. *tr

In december, 2011, the front driver's side window of my jeep liberty fell suddenly while i was driving the vehicle. the sudden and unexpected occurrence nearly caused me to lose control of the car. i felt fortunate that i was driving when this happened and not one of my children. had i been an inexperienced driver, the sudden shock of this occurrence would have caused me to lose control of the car. i taped the window up and continued to drive it. two weeks later, the rear window on the driver's side suddenly and unexpectedly fell. at that time, my dog nearly fell out of the car. in the spring of 2012, after driving around with taped up windows for four months, i took the car to a jeep dealer. the repair cost me $850.00. this past spring, the same thing happened with the window on the right passenger side. i have been driving with door stoppers shoved into the window to hold it up. hope i don't have to worry about a grandchild falling out! i have been researching this issue on the internet and there are thousands of complaints about this very issue! the problem appears to be a cheap plastic part in the window mechanism. many jeep liberty owners are saying it is not worth fixing their windows anymore, because they fix them and then the windows just fall again and again and again. why is this not seen as a safety issue? i work in the public health sector and this is most definitely a safety issue!

I received two safety recall notices for my car. my chrysler dealer will not make the safety fix. the dealer claims they do not receive enough trailer hitches for all the cars needing the safety fix. why bother sending me a notice to have my car made safe when chrysler will not make there cars safe? i am do not think chrysler or you really care about people's safety. it seems chrysler and you just talk and no action because...my guess...this inaction saves many people a lot of money. the sad part of the whole thing no one cares.

I went to lock my doors after i came from the dealer and i noticed both my back doors do not lock. i believe this is a safety issue because the back doors do not lock when i am driving down the road and i have 1 year old that like to touch everything including door handles. *tr

My complaint is with the chrysler recall n46/nhsta 13v-252. i received two (2) recalls -one last dec. 2013 and in august 2014 for the rear structure reinforcement. i called 2jeep/chrysler dealers and was told that they were only provided 5 trailer hitches and had a waiting list of 55. i was told to call back in mid-september. this recall is a joke. i called chrysler recall asst. center and spoke with taylor and was told that the trailer hitches were still being manufactured and that the hitches and subsequent repairs should be done within two (2) years. this is unacceptable. i was told when i got the first recall notice to wait for the second that the parts would be available and they are not. i believe chrysler is not acting in good faith to its customers and has no intention of replacing the recalled items. i believe that they are just waiting for the jeeps in question to disappear and go to junk yards. they have no intention in fixing the problem. the problem with the rear structure reinforcement is just too expensive for them to fix. i feel right now that the end result of this recall that only 10% of the jeeps in question will actually be repaired. i have never gone through such a long, deceitful recall before. i have zero faith in chrysler doing the right thing without another governmental court order.

It has been many months since i received a recall which was supposed to be remedied by installing a hitch. (gas tank is at risk of rupture) my dealer [xxx] in summit, nj claims that chrysler has not sent the part. i have inquired several times and i get the same story. i realize it is an old car however i am getting the impression that the longer chrysler keeps stalling making repairs the less of these cars there will be to repair! since this is so dangerous i think they ought to be encouraged more strongly to do the right thing. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

When on vacation getting ready to drive back home from nc to ny turning into a parking lot the right front ball joint snapped. we had to have the vehicle towed to have it repaired only to find out when we arrived home and i looked up online that there had been an previous recall on this that i was never notified of. the repair tech ripped the "better brand" more expensive moog brand boot when he put it on and didn't tell us. we didn't find out until arriving home & then we had to take it to another shop 45 min away to have it repaired again.. if we had been notified previously we would have had this taken care of prior to and had it fixed the right way. thankfully we were pulling into a gas station parking lot at the time of the incident and not 20 min later when we were driving 65 mph down the highway or this could have caused a serious accident. *tr

Since i received the first notice of the recall for my jeep liberty purchased new and still drive i attempted to get it repaired at a chrysler dealer more than four times and four times telling me they were out of parts and i will receive a letter telling me when to bring it in ,none of them took any of my information and wanted to put me on a waiting list of any kind. this last time the place nearest my home was the last straw, the service manager jeff carnival at crystal automotive at 143 cortez blvd in brooksville,florida 34613. got downright nasty with me. i suggest he would not have taken such liberties if i wasn't 72 years old and disabled. of course i left since accomplishing nothing again. do you have the ability to help me out with this ongoing problem. its really been a long time getting this done. you can assure chrysler if such a incident should occur where my wife and i are injured. my family will surely sue them for neglect and injuries. really mad about the treatment i have been receiving.

Why hasn't chrysler complied with safety recall n46 (gas tank leakage)?? i have contacted chrysler several times and get the response that there is no safety problem with the plastic gas tank. but they will install a tow hitch just to satisfy nhtsa. they said they don't know when the parts will be available either. they said they would let me know later, maybe in august (this year i hope). i just don't understand why it is taking so long. the most important question is; is the vehicle safe in the event of an otherwise survivable rear-end crash?? thanks, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) *js

Notified by the local repair chain worker that my front suspension needed to be fixed as soon as possible. the repair would cost about 1800.00 or so. i just recently graduated from school & live pay check to pay check. i them called the local jeep dealership (sam swope jeep) and was confirmed that there had been previous recalls related to the liberty''s suspension system. i also wrote to the manufacturer, but have not heard anything from them. the dealership said that the recall repairs were taken care of. if it was" taken care of" then i shouldn't have the suspension needing repair. either the recall repair was shoddy work. not actually done. or the work was a temporary fix. in either case, i need the manufacturer to make the repair at no cost to me & provide s loaner vehicle while the repair is being made. regarding the recall i found that... . consequence: when the driver continues to operate the vehicle with this condition, the contamination can lead to corrosion, accelerated wear and possibly separation from the steering knuckle causing a loss of vehicle steering control increasing the risk of a crash. i have to travel the highways and across a bridge to get to and from work. i do not want to be a fatality or be the cause of someone being a part of an accident or fatality. the manufacturer should want to maintain a good customer relationship and have a loyal customer. also, the manufacturer should want to value their reputation. *tr

2004 jeep liberty. consumer writes in regards to fuel tank recall notice. *smd the consumer went to the dealer, after receiving the recall. however, they claimed to have no knowledge of a defect or a recall. *jb

Was alerted by internet blog in feb. of 2013 that rear collisions on this model of jeep liberty (2004) may cause gas tank to rupture creating a fire hazard. responses to the blog indicated that a class iv or better trailer hitch may absorb the impact, thus increasing the chance that the gas tank would not be damaged. this explanation sounded reasonable and therefor i opted to have a class iv draw tite hitch installed as a precaution. this hitch meets or exceeds oem specs. i received a recall notice several months later regarding this issue. the notice stated if i had purchased and installed a trailer hitch after the initial purchase of vehicle that i would be reimbursed if i sent proof of purchase. i sent an invoice and a copy of the cancelled check as instructed. i was notified by phone that my claim was not valid as i failed to purchase an oem hitch. my hitch meets or exceeds oem specs as i mentioned earlier . thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide to help me recoup my expenses. *tr

I'm writing a follow up concerning a important safety recall i received about middle of january stating that the fuel tank on my vehicle has a small chance of experiencing a fuel leak during certain types of rear end collisions. fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in an underbody fire. also said that i need to wait for a follow up notice in the mail,but so far i got nothing. waiting this long is normal for this kind of safety recall?? i haven't have any incidents but i wrote and incident date as today because if not it wouldn't let me submit this. thank you and hope to hear from someone soon. *tr

On the 18th of january of 2014, i was driving back home on a rural road where the speed limit is 25mph and i was driving around 15 mph because the road doesn't have an adequate pavement, where there is alot of pot holes. my 2004 jeep liberty on a small hill, came to a sudden stop shutting all the system which turned the vehicle off. i attempted to turn the car back on, by turning the switch and it wouldn't turn on. i waited approximately 3 minutes when i saw a thick black smoke coming from the hood. i attempted to react quickly and saw that the doors were closed shut. i forced the door to open and ran quickly to the front of the vehicle. i lifted the hood and it was steaming hot that it burned my fingers, i then opened the hood and witnessed that the vehicle's motor was completely in smoke. i began to car 911 and stepped aside when flames started to come out from the motor. in less than 8 minutes the car was completely in fire. both police and fire department assisted me during this tragic event. i have both reports to evidence the events that had occurred. i have attempted various times to contact chrysler within my local area and have not received any return call from them, while they have indicated that they will send a inspector to verify the vehicle, i left all of my personal details and am still waiting for their visit. i have been waiting and i have continued to call them in effort to have an inspector to verify my loss knowing that the car is still within the vehicle guaranteed, still i have not received any response after a two months of the incident. here, i have not only suffered from material loss but also chrysler in my area does not demonstrate corporate responsibility nor customer satisfaction or concern for their state of being. *tr

2004 jeep liberty 4x2 has speed wobble, throws the jeep side to side and is increasing in sway monthly if not daily. now when you lift off the accelerator to slow down the jeep throws itself to the right. when the jeep has four people in it and some weight in the rear trunk area it is not noticed but when it is just the driver or one other passenger the speed wobble is noticeable. it is causes the steering to be extremely loose and sloppy so much to the point that an attempt to avoid road debris may throw the jeep into a death roll because it is already center of gravity challenged being a stock jeep with no modifications, jeeps are made this way but the steering is even more dangerous now then ever. our jeep was purchased in florida and now i am retired military living in virginia along the coast like in florida i believe our jeep liberty needs to meet the recall standards as the ones listed in the "suspension rear lower control arm" recall. this is a bad situation. *tr

Nearly a complete, sudden loss of braking. barely able to stop when proceeding thru a drive thru lane. if this was any normal driving speed, serious injury would have resulted. complete loss of braking fluid in reservoir. not a slow leak!! problem was determined to be a rusted brake line on the front passenger side. driver side was just as rusted. the resulting hole was so large that the fluid would gush out in a 1/8 inch stream. it appears the brake line attached to the brake caliper is extremely prone to rust at the joint between the rubber and metal portion of the hose. there should be a recall on this item, especially in areas of the country prone to corrosion issues. *tr

I am writing in regards to a safety recall on my 2004 jeep liberty that was issued in june 2013. the recall exists as the fuel tank can rupture and cause fires in rear-end collisions. the nhtsa did a three year investigation that showed 51 people died in fiery crashes in jeeps with gas tanks positioned behind the rear axle. to alleviate this problem chrysler is to install a tow hitch free of charge. i have made numerous phone calls to my local chrysler dealership and then also contacted chrysler at their 1-800 number. despite these phone calls no one could provide an answer as to when this potential life threatening problem would be fixed. about two weeks ago i received a letter in the mail from chrysler group llc informing me of the recall (as if i was unaware) and that the parts required are currently unavailable. so this recall has been in effect since june and there is no clear date that my vehicle will be equipped with a tow hitch to prevent a fiery crash. it is apparent through newspaper articles that chrysler has been reluctant to issue the recall and it is speculated that they did so as to not hurt their image and finances. also to avoid a public relations nightmare and being forced to provide the recall after potential public hearings with witnesses providing details of deadly crashes involving jeeps. it is appears that chrysler is trying to avoid this repair due to cost. it has been seven months since the recall and not a single vehicle has been repaired. it is also unknown when the repairs will be made as the parts are unavailable. i question the integrity of chrysler in regards to this recall and ask that you please look into this situation. this recall could potential save lives and it appears that this is not being done in order to save money. thank you for your time and consideration. updated 01/30/14

I rolled down my passenger window and when i went to roll it back up it would not roll back up. it just kept sliding down. i had to buy a suction cup to keep it up until i could get the part to fix it. since then it has happened to my rear passenger and rear driver windows also.

Called jeep and still no answer as to when they are going to comply with government safety regulations. i'm still waiting on a hitch for my jeep. at this point if i do have a accident and an incident occurs i'm sure this would be considered a non comply to government regulations. all i'm asking for is either they fix the issue or give me ftv on my jeep so i can buy a safer car. sorry to say this is the type of issues that cause me not to want to get another jeep. ford or chevy next time..

The vehicles headlights will flash on and off while driving. it will be intermittent and last for 1-5 seconds. they then have always come back on and stayed on but we never know when it will happen or if the lights will come back on. this has happened several times and there is always a clicking sound in the dash. this is a very dangerous situation. after searching this issue on the internet it seems to be an on going problem covering several years of jeep liberty. i can not believe that chrysler has not been made to fix this safety issue. what will it take to make this happen? i guess no one was killed or maybe not enough people were killed yet. *tr

Jeep window regulators are defective. the driver's window made a loud noise and fell into the door. estimated repair at the chrysler dealership was $300 - $400 for a small plastic piece. within six months, the remaining three windows regulators have failed and all windows are now held in place with a plastic zip tie due to the high cost of repair/replacement and chrysler's refusal to accept responsibility for faulty design or below standard equipment. being unable to open the vehicle's windows is definitely a safety hazard for several reasons. certainly do not want to be pulled over and not comply with an officer's request to roll the window down - and if you open the door instead of rolling the window down - that will be perceived as a threat to the officer and only lead to a bad situation. there are so many jeep owners with the same complaint, please investigate this matter for the safety of all drivers since chrysler is ignoring their responsibility.

I have a jeep liberty (2004, 2wd, v6) and have a problem with the headlights turning off for a second and then back on for no apparent reason. when this happens the relay can be heard opening and closing. unfortunately i have not been able to find an accurate electrical schematic (the one in the hayes book does not seem to agree with the wiring in the car).

The window motor regulators fail extremely often--on average, one fails every 6 months. this sometimes happens while driving, and the window crashes down into the door. it is extremely distracting to hear the window fall while you are driving, the sudden thud could distract the driver enough to cause a crash, and any children or pets in the car are not only exposed to the elements, but are at risk of falling out of the vehicle. other times, the window falls while the car is parked and the car is open for the world to enter. i have spent thousands of dollars on window motor regulators for this vehicle. i purchased it used in february 2009, the first window motor regulator failed less than 90 days later and one has failed every 6 months since. chrysler refuses to acknowledge my requests or rectify the situation, despite a dozen mechanics having told me that this is a known defect. *tr

Had just driven my 2004 jeep liberty on freeway from fort lauderdale to miami international airport with no advance warning, noises etc. after parking for a brief period i attempted to steer the vehicle out of tight parking spot and the front upper right ball joint snapped out of place and subsequently the tire itself. vehicle was towed to the nearest chrysler dealership and they informed me that both the front control arms, upper ball joints would have to be replaced as it is likely the left ball joint will fail with or without notice and would be a safety hazard to drive it without both being replaced. the jeep had just recently, aug 2012 had a recall notice to replace the rear upper control arms/ball joints, and also in 2006 the lower front control arms/ball joints. called chrysler directly to advise of the most recent ball joint failure to a vehicle that is in otherwise excellent condition with only 55,000 miles. based on the previous recall notices regarding control arms/ball joints requested assistance with the most recent issue. they refused to offer any assistance. it is obvious chrysler is and has been having issues with control arms/ball joints on this year and model, and upon further research many other years and models. the issue poses a huge safety risk to other unsuspecting owners of the 2004 jeep liberty and similar makes and models that with little or no warning this issue could occur on a highway at any speed resulting in potentially tragic consequences. considering the amount of labor it takes to replace damaged lower control arms/ball joints, and its because of a recall notice one would think it prudent to replace the upper ones at the same time. *tr

Ignition switch failed without warning while transporting disabled person. again!!!!! this is the 2nd time this same part has failed on this vehicle - it is a tiny, small "pot metal"/nylon part that is a weak link in this supposedly otherwise sturdy rig, and the only fix after all this time of repeated failures is to replace the entire steering column, rather than only the offending part, again. this year, the part lasted for far less time than the original part - for only 4 years and 48,000 mi. it is a dangerous situation when a careful and conscientious driver is unable to rely on a vehicle used to transport a wheelchair-bound person. this jeep is a one-owner vehicle and is regularly maintained and cared for by the dealership and other authorized service centers. (in 2009, it took months to get the part) this issue should be considered for recall. the thing is not going to explode and kill someone, but leaving occupants vulnerable (with no warning) is still a serious security issue. *tr

My daughter was recently involved in a head on collision with a telephone pole upon making a turn at about 35mph. thank god she is okay, but her car, a 2004 jeep liberty 4d 4x4 ltd was totaled. the airbags did not deploy in the accident and i wanted to report this failure. *tr

As i press the unlock button on my remote the door remains locked. i needed to have the door opened to change the taillights, but the door couldn't open so i took it to the dealer since i only owned the truck for a year.they said it would cost me about $200.00 to open the door and change the bulb, . because the door actuator was busted.i couldn't afford that because the bulb only cost me $5.99. i only wanted the door open to change the taillight myself.well i returned home only to tell my neighbor the problem, he took off the panel and un locked the door changed the bulb in 10 minutes and told me the problem is the plastic hinge not the actuator , he rigged a string so that i can unlock the door until i can find the part, but no one sells the part.it is a small latch that unlocks the door. very simple. the best part is neighbor fixed it for now for free!! *tr

We were at a berry farm picking raspberries, we looked up and saw our vehicle rolling towards us. the transmission must of popped out gear(park) the car continued gaining speed down the hill as it slammed into a tree. *tr

Three weeks after purchasing this vehicle used, the car began hiccupping or lurching while idling, and had difficulty accelerating from second to first gear. mechanic checked error message indicating cylinder miss fire and found that all spark plugs and one coil needed to be replaced. problem continued and check engine light went on. same mechanic checked error message indicating cylinder miss fire, and found rubber gasket on coolant tank mangled causing coolant to splattered over engine. replaced cap. i took a 1200 highway trip with no problem. after i returned and resumed low speed stop and go driving, the problem resumed. this time, the check engine also indicated cylinder misfire, but a hose exiting coolant tank was ruptured leaking coolant directly on to the same cylinder that had already been replaced. thinking we had finally solved the problem, the hose was replaced, the cylinder removed and cleaned, but leakage under car and splattered over engine continued. car is lurching especially when accelerating uphill, and check engine light is flashing on and off. there is a hissing noise after i turn off the engine. my license plate has expired and i can't re-new until my exhaust is tested, which they will not do if the check engine light is on. what am i supposed to do? *tr

I had been having this problem around three weeks ago, at hot weather i turn the a\c on, and after 10 minutes the engine starts reheating, i already take it to the chrysler jeep dealer, and they told me that they don't know what happens that everything is ok, my husband even scan the car and he got the po480, and they said that no everything is ok, i told them the situation that im worry about the reheating cause three days ago i has at the i95 at 65 mph, and it stars reheating very fast, i just pull over the car , but it can start a fire under the hood or something i saw a lot of smoke, i told them, and they said that they couldn't find anything that everything is ok. so if jeep itself cant not find the problem , who can.....? they said ....we don't know!!!!! this is a very weird situation , that the jeep itself can not find a problem in a car that they make. *tr

On sunday 6/30 i was at the pharmacy around my residense in phila, pa. when i pull out of the parking lot to go into the street with the traffic to go back home. the car started making this screening noise and it felt like when i would give it gas it would not respond. i tried a little bit of gas and then it made a big soun d like an explosion and it lock in the middle of the street . it would not go forward or backwards. it felt like it just drop to the floor and it felt as thou the tires fell off the car.... i had to get a tow truck to tow it away , no matter how much we would work on it. it wouldnt respond . i had just gotten the recall notice and had taken this car to a chrysler dealer to get the replacement part they had sent notice recalling 2002-2007 jeeps. three weeks before. i need help. i dont want to get back behind this car. it was scary and once before it had locked up on my in the middle of the highway. i thought i was going to be in a crash. *tr

We have had repeated failures on all of our window regulators since we purchased our jeep. the first occurrence was in 2006. i would have to pull our repair file to get the other dates. we currently have another window out, it is taped up to keep things out. this is the window in the back behind the front passenger seat. this has already been replaced. the replacements don't even hold up. we are senior citizens. no one "plays" with the windows. we use our ac so windows are not opened and closed. they just fall down on their own. we can not afford to keep replacing the window regulators. the dealer said he thought there was a recall on this because it is such a big problem ,but i don't see anything here except window regulator complaints. when are they going to take this problem seriously? *tr

June 13, 2013, third window regulator to fail within one year on my jeep liberty. failed window regulators are front left and right windows, and left rear window. very frustrated and disappointed with chrysler and how they are handling a known issue. after speaking with several employees and manager at the chrysler dealership. they have told me that chrysler is aware of the defect but they are unable to repair the failed window regulators at no cost to me. therefore i continue to drive my jeep liberty without any working windows which presents a safety issue in the event of an accident. i have no way of getting out of my vehicle and it's an inconvenience to pull up to drive thru without being able to roll down my windows. chrysler, i'm sure you have heard this complaint many times. i would greatly appreciate if you would take care of your customer base and do a recall on these window regulators. thank you. *tr

January 8, 2013 good morning. it was very annoying when my passenger's front window dropped inside the door. it was and wasn't okay when the problem first arose. i was very concerned. i immediately took it to my dad to see what he knew about it or could do. he went to the pick and pull junkyard and got a plastic replacement window to hold me over until i could get if fixed, which i did about 3 weeks after the problem occurred. the problem occurred on january 8, 2013 and i got it fixed on january 29th, only for the opposite front drivers window to do the exact same thing two days after i got it out the shop. well this time, my dad placed a 2 by 4 to hold it in place. and now only about 2 months later march 28, 2013 my back passenger window has suffered the same faith. back on february 5, 2013 i took my car into the chrysler dealer because they contacted me about a recall, and at this time i explained my incident to them; they stated they had maybe a few concerns about the window regulator, but that it wasn't enough to raise an eyebrow about. i understand why that would not be an eyebrow raiser. in less than 3 months, i have had 3 of my car window to just drop inside the door of my vehicle and the dealer doesn't think that this is call for a recall, or send out notices to jeep dealer and work on the responses received to then determine if this is a major issue or not? very costly, and inconvenient especially when the incidents occur at different times. i would like to get some feed back, answers, shares on this matter, anybody? i have also been browsing the internet to find out if anyone else has experienced what i have, to see what their outcome was. stressed out consumer... *tr

Hit from behind. the drivers seat held up well, but the force of the impact forced my legs backward off of the firewall controls and my legs were up against the seat when the vehicle came to a stop. my lower legs at the calves were crushed and this led to severe bleeding contained in the legs (compartment syndrome). no fractures but emergency surgery was needed. after reviewing photos of the vehicle interior today, it is apparent that my calves hit the seat adjustment bar that sticks out under and forward of the padded portion of the seat. i find this a common placement of the seat adjustment bar in many vehicles. if not for this bar i would be back to work this week and no significant medical bills. overall the seat conformed well to me and did not cause me to fracture my neck (severe osteoporosis and prior neck fusion). updated 06/10/13 *bf updated 6/13/13 *cn..*tr updated 06/13/2013 *js updated 06/17/2013 *js updated 7/31/13*cn..updated 10/30/13 *bf updated 10/31/2013 *js

Was driving on the highway in the fast lane going about 70 mph and we lose all control of the vehicle had to swerve all the way across the highway to get on the shoulder! its a miracle we didn't wreck! vehicle wouldn't start had no idea what happened, checked the oil and was full just got it changed 3 weeks prior at the dealership. towed it to a shop and they said the engine was done! had a warranty for 6 months and 2 weeks after this expired is when this occurred! have complained everywhere i can and i get told this has never been heard of well all you have to do is google this engine and the complaints are endless! i am so unbelievably disappointed and no one is owning up to this problem! i am done with jeep and chrysler and i'll make sure everyone i ever know is too! *tr

We took the car to a dealer to have the lower control arm replaced due to a recall on the part. we were told by the dealer that the upper control arm was bad and they would not do the recall repair of the lower control arm until we paid to replace the upper control arm. we were told the part was pretty much worn out and hanging by a thread and the only thing holding the tires to the car were the shocks. the upper control arm is not part of the recall and dealer charge to repair it was $600. the recall of the lower control arm is because the part can wear out due to not being treated for the salt used on roads in our state. the upper control arm is also falling apart for this same reason yet is not included in this recall. the upper control arm also needs to be recalled. *tr

Same as some of the other complaints; vehicle refused to start. random at first, the wouldn't start at all. towed to dealer and entire steering column has to be replaced to fix one small part, which is on backorder. will contact the manufacturer tomorrow to complain, doubt it will help. i have seen multiple complaints with this issue, jeep should do something about it! $800 in repairs. last jeep/chrysler i will ever own. i don't have the vin right now, as the vehicle and registration are at the shop. *tr

Parked vehicle at gas pump. set parking brake, left transmission in neutral (engine idling). got out of vehicle and it then started rolling forward. the parking brake has never worked correctly since i bought this vehicle at about 14,000 miles and still doesn't even after having the parking brake shoes and springs replaced. i replaced them because the right-rear parking brake has taken to sticking while driving. a couple of times i've come home and gotten out of my vehicle to an acrid smell of burning and the excessively high temperatures coming from the right rear brakes. it's been a while since the gas-station incident happened, and the only reason it still doesn't happen is i never leave it parked out of gear anymore. the parking brake is worthless and would never be of use to stop the vehicle in an emergency where the primary braking system has failed. someone could have been hurt or killed if i hadn't been right there to jump in my vehicle to stop it from rolling. *tr

Driver's seat heater felt extremely hot against my back while driving. leaned forward and smelled a burning odor, also felt jacket and back of seat which were both extremely hot and immediately turned off the heated seats. upon arriving at work,got out of the vehicle and saw the front seat leather against where my back was had been burned, as well as the back of my jacket. called the chrysler recall phone number and was told that although there was a recall for the jeep grand cherokee for the heated seats malfunctioning and overheating, that there was not a recall available for the same problem with the jeep liberty. because the vehicle's warranty is expired, they said they will not cover expenses due to repairs. i then called my local dealer, who also said i would be responsible for repairs since there is not a recall for this model of jeep. upon searching the web, there are numerous accounts of other jeep liberties with this issue, including a court case that was filed 10/29/12 for a 2004 jeep liberty which the heated seats generated dangerously high temperatures in which a consumer endured third degree burns. this is a serious safety issue, which could potentially cause a fire or injury to consumers. *tr

Rear control arm failed. chrysler will not fix rear control arm because the vehicle is registered in south dakota. the rear control arm on this vehicle was recalled for vehicles in other state because of the salt on the roads during winter driving. south dakota has the same salt on roads as minnesota and iowa (states listed on the recall) and should be included in this recall. *tr

For the last year or so we have had problems with the jeep swaying everytime we accelerate and decelerate. this was becoming a serious safety concern and took the jeep to my mechanic after researching on google and finding other jeep owners reporting the same issue. my mechanic reported that he had to replace the rear suspension lower control arm which fixed the problem. i had this work done in april 2012 and have since seen that a recall has been issued for this same problem (nhtsa action number ea11013) but the recall does not include jeeps manufactured in texas since it is explained that the cause is corrosion due to application of road salts during winter weather conditions. i believe this needs further investigation of the potential causes and needs to be expanded to texas and possibly other states as well. i personally would like chrysler to be held accountable and believe that i should be reimbursed for my expenses which were quite substantial. *tr

2004 jeep liberty window regulators. replaced left rear window regular ($450) in 2009. replaced left rear window regulator in july, 2010 at cost of $96 (goodwill warranty). right rear window regulator needs to be replaced but hasn't because of cost. now front left window regulator has to be replaced for $350. this causes hardships in inclement weather conditions while driving the windows get stuck or fall down while driving causing distractions as well as financially having to pay labor and parts costs each repeat time. *tr

While driving 60 mph on the staten island expressway in ny i heard a thump and lost control of the vehicle. it was as if i was driving on ice. the rear end of the jeep swayed side to side until i was able to bring it to a stop. the drivers side rear lower control arm snapped causing the rear axle to move to the rear on the drivers side. this caused the drive shaft to pull out of the transmission and hit the ground. while moving forward the drive shaft was dragging on the pavement moving side to side as it was still turning because the rear wheels were turning. luckily i was able to bring the vehicle to a stop while just barely avoiding hitting a guard rail and other cars in the lane to the left of me. once stopped i was stuck on a two lane exit at 11:00 pm with cars doing 60 mph coming to a screeching halt behind me and with some cars swerving into the adjacent lane to avoid hitting my car. this car is driven most by my wife with only my daughter in the front passenger seat. on this evening we had two adults in the front and two adults in the rear seat. i believe it was the added weight in the rear seat that caused the arm to break at this time. these vehicles need to be recalled and repaired as the situation will only get worse as they go through more winters. it looks to me like they want to wait until someone is killed before they do a recall. i also believe that a lot of these part failures are going unreported. had the drive shaft hit a lip, pot hole or other obstruction before stopping, my vehicle could have flipped over causing serious injuries or death. the cost for the repair which had to include a new drive shaft was over $1100.00. if needed i have the failed part and the other control arm and drive shaft. i also have photos of the failed part. *tr

I was backing out of garage and heard a pop and then grinding noise. stopped immediately and found the left front upper ball joint had popped out of the control arm. the ball joint is rust pitted badly. i would assume the right front ball joint is in the same condition. i am also aware that the 2002-2003 liberty's have an open recall for this problem due to water intrusion. i had the recall for the lower ball joints replaced under warranty. i was lucky that there was not a separation while driving at speed. *tr

I recently noticed abnormal tire wear (insides balding) on my front tires so i replaced the tires and took the vehicle for an alignment. before the repair shop would do the alignment on the vehicle the checked the components to be sure that the was no other problems. they found that the lower and upper ball joints were bad on both sides and stated that it was unsafe to drive. i immediately contacted my local jeep dealer to inquire about the repairs and to check for recalls. they advised me that there was a recall on the lower ball joints, i asked if the lower ball joints could cause the upper ball joints to go bad and they said that it could. i asked if that would be covered under the recall as well since they could have caused the upper ball joints to become bad, and i was told no that it would only cover the lower ball joints. so my complaint is that the recall should cover the upper ball joints as well because even after the repairs on the lower ball joints the vehicle is still unsafe to drive if the recalled part caused the problem to the upper portion as well. *tr

While initially starting to move the vehicle, my wife noticed that the car was not acting correct. she got me, i looked under the car and noticed that the drivers side rear axle control arm was completely rusted through and the rear tire was moving back and forth in the wheel well. obviously the car was inoperable to use at this time. the jeep dealership (pinckney chrysler dodge jeep inc., pinckney, michigan) claimed they did not know of any issues with the rusted through control arm and the service manager did check for any outstanding recalls on the vehicle but i knew we were not the only ones that had this problem. i went to a local jumk yard (because were very tight on money) and bought a used, like new one and replaced the part myself. the junk yard said they sell a lot of them, obviously jeep has a problem and are trying to hide it with this component rusting through. i do have the failed part in my possession and will gladly e-mail pictures of it to anyone of interest. *tr

Power window regulator failure. this is the fourth time in 2 years. this is a major problem that is very expensive to fix. the regulator fails when the car is not even in motion. the window will fail to roll up or down when the regulator fails and it makes a grinding sound when you try to roll the window up or down. this is obviously a huge problem judging by how many complaints are listed on this website. jeep needs to recall the power window regulators in these vehicles and take care of their customers. who has three hundred dollars to fix an ongoing problem two times or more a year. i am a very upset customer and i think something needs to be done about this problem. *kb

Re: failure of passenger side power window (1) while driving to work, i attempted to roll down the passenger side door window and the window just fell down inside the door. at that point, i was unable to roll up the window. (2) the window could not be operated by the power switch and therefore, i had to remove the door panel and secure the glass with a piece of wood. (3) the failure has not been corrected at this time. while researching this problem - i have found that this is a reoccurring problem across the country with jeep liberty's and i feel that this is a great safety problem. the glass in the window is for protection and should it fall out while driving at a normal rate of speed - this could potentially cause damage to the driver, passengers or other cars on the highway. i feel like chrysler corperation should bear the costs to correct this problem and not leave it up to the owners to correct this defect in the liberty. there are pages and pages online with liberty owners who have had this same problem. just entering (jeep liberty window problems) will take you to numerous complaints about this issue. it is disheartening to still be paying on a vehicle that is like new but is falling apart. i was already involved in an accident in which the faulty ball joints just gave way. thankfully, i was not on the interstate when this happened. now this failure of the window is another recall i would like to see happen. it would be appreciated if you would make chrysler corporation stand behind their products. the jeep liberty is not a cheap vehicle to buy but it is certainly cheaply made and it is sad to wonder what is going to happen next while driving this vehicle. *tt

My horn will not stop blowing, it woke everyone in my neighborhood up at 10pm last night, and the only way it would stop was to disconnect the battery. water seems to be leaking into my fuse box. i have taken the car to a mechanic and will see how it turns out. *kb

I have a 2004 jeep liberty in which 3 of the window regulators have went out. the reason this is an issue is driving down the freeway my driver window regulator quit working, the window fell down into the door. i almost wrecked because of the distraction and sound of my window falling. *tr

While driving down the main road in our town at 30mph driver heard a loud noise and then lost control of the steering in 2004 jeep liberty. the car was swerving and the driver had no control of the vehicle. the car went off the right shoulder of the road, scraped a metal mile marker and finally came to a stop. it has been determined that the left rear lower control arm had corroded and broken. this could have resulted in a very serious accident.

I was sitting at a red light waiting on light to turn, car completely shut off, smoke was coming out from under the hood. an emergency vehicle was sitting in front of me and they got out with fire extinguishers. when i raised the hood the fire flamed up more. there was a recall o4v337000 on the alternator could cause a fire under the hood. i never received a letter on this. i received a recall 2 0r 3 years ago and took it to jeep dealer in kodak, tn. but it was not for this recall

Had been driving and hear squeaking/creaking when turning the vehicle. every once in awhile, i would feel the vehicle slip on a turn. one morning when i was driving to work; as i entered the parking lot, i heard a loud pop on the driver's side followed by a harsh grinding. i was able to pull into a parking spot, but it is clear that the vehicle is not drivable. i was going no more than 5mph when this occurred. *kb

While traveling on a curvy state route, i noticed that my jeep wasn't handling the turns quite as well as normal. once i arrived in town, i made a stop at a traffic light and when i began to move again, i noticed a very loud grinding sound near my passenger side rear tire and felt my vehicle begin to fishtail as i accelerated more. fortunately, i was able to safely come to a stop in a restaurant parking lot and inspect the vehicle. at that time i noticed a rusted piece of metal that had separated itself from the frame and sway bar. i also inspected the other side, and observed obvious and excessive corrosion on the opposite side as well. had the complete separation of this part happened while i was driving on the curvy roads or on an interstate at highway speeds, it without a doubt would have caused severe vehicle damage and had major potential for driver and passenger injury or even loss of life. fortunately, the worst case scenario didn't happen,but, i am still left without transportation, as this was my only vehicle. this vehicle had to be towed on a flat bed tow truck and is still awaiting repair. *kb

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 jeep liberty limited. the contact stated the number five valve in the engine failed and misfired. the vehicle was taken to the dealer who replaced the coil wires, spark plugs, fuel injector, an ejection pulse test and the head gasket. the vehicle was repaired and it was still shaking and failed to accelerate beyond a 10 mile radius. the manufacturer stated there were no recalls or warranties and offered no assistance. the failure mileage was 51,000.

I have a 2004 jeep liberty. on june 7, 2011 the passenger rear window just fell down inside the door. our extended warranty doesn't cover replacing window regulators. that cost $300 to repair. then, on june 27, 2011 the passenger front window just fell down inside the door. it is in the repair shop and it will cost another $300 to be repaired. the driver side window regulator is also about to break. when i put the window down the whole inside door panel expands and the repair shop said it's about to break. i think its a big safety hazard if my windows just fall down inside the door especially when i'm driving and have small children in the car and weather conditions. also, when the window falls inside the door it makes a loud noise which is a distraction from the driver. there needs to be a recall because my repair guy said that these regulators have to be replaced quite often at $300 a pop!!! i am not a satisfied customer what so ever. *tr

The rear trail arm rusted through and fractured making the jeep nearly impossible to control. i had to call a tow truck.

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 jeep liberty. the contact stated the front passenger and driver side automatic window regulator failed. the rear driver's side window regulator also failed on a separate occasion. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where the window regulator was replaced for each failure at different times. most recent the rear driver's side window regulator failed for the second time and had not been replaced. the manufacturer was notified and they were unable to provide assistance for the continuous malfunction. the approximate failure mileage was 45,000. the vin was unavailable.

Jeep liberty 2004. the window regulator of the rear driver's side window has now broken three times in the last four years. i have used that window less than ten times during the ownership of the vehicle. the window regulator will simply break without warning, causing the window to fall. this is a danger to the unsuspecting driver and any potential passengers; not to mention if this occurred in the cold of winter. this is a defective product with this occurrence happening to thousands of other individuals. the car cannot be properly secured as the window will not stay in the upright position and will open completely on its own. it is a safety hazard as you cannot have a child in the rear of the car. this part needs to be recalled. *tr

Loss of control of 2004 jeep liberty limited due to failure of lower trailing arm. lower trailing arm snapped due to corrosion according to repair shop. the vehicle was being driven at about 30mph on rural back road on straight section. jeep veered back and forth wildly until was able to stop. both rear lower trailing arms were replaced, the broken one and the other one which was also badly corroded. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2004 jeep liberty. the contact stated while driving 70 mph, the driver side window fell down and could not be closed. the dealers diagnosis determined that the regulator was defective. the two rear passenger and driver side windows were repaired numerous times, but the failure recurred. the manufacturer was contacted. the failure mileage was 27,000 and the current mileage was 69,000.

I'm working in a big city and park my car all day in a open parking lot. the left rear window of my car was open, not sure if it was open all day.. for right now im duck taping that window from the inside, nothing has been done yet waiting to order and have it fixed, part alone will cost at least $ 150.00 and then repair cost????? *tr

Vehicle started making crunching noises when going over bumps (dips, speed bumps/humps, railroad tracks) issue wasn't constant, tended to happen in the early mornings or late nights when the weather was colder. took the vehicle to a couple of mechanics with no findings. over time (02/01/2011) the vehicle started making a 'whining' noise when i make sharp right hand turns, again not every sharp right hand turn recreates the noise. i suspected power steering and or bushings could be an issue. today, 04/19/2011, vehicle is in shop for new tires and an oil change and an investigation into my complaints/suspicions. it's been discovered that there is a leak in my power steering pressure line and issues with my rack and pinion. on a side note, it's also time to replace my struts and shocks, however this is not part of the issue i've been experiencing, according to the mechanic. it was also brought to my attention that rack and pinion issues as well as power steering pressure line leakage issues are very common with this year/make/model. funnily enough, after lots of research and many phone calls to several other mechanics, the ps pressure line issue can be fixed but will most likely reoccur due to the hose not being able to handle the constant working pressure of 3000 psi. it seems i will now be looking for another part for my jeep that is being fabricated by an innovative individual that can do the job that jeep can't seem to figure out. (your window regulators need to be re-engineered as well)

I've now replaced two window regulators...well, not exactly the whole thing. after doing my research i found a person that fabricates the vinyl plastic piece that is always under strain that literally supports the window out of .... metal! (genius). i've purchased one for all the windows and am installing them as needed. who in their right mind would think that little piece of plastic is going to withstand the test of time? this was a very very poor engineering solution. a soft material like that should not be put under constant strain of pull and weight. this is truly a faux pas on chryslers' behalf. it's like the part was deployed to ensure constant income due to repair! i've read hundreds and glanced at thousands of issues regarding this design and part. i am just beside myself from the manufacturers lack of response. shame on you jeep!

While driving down the highway, the rear driver-side window began to open of its own accord. trying to stop the window from lowering further using the control button on the console did nothing but make a terrible grinding noise inside the door. within five miles of driving, the window glass had disappeared into the door panel. this has happened twice now. the first time was a year ago, mid-april 2010, also while driving on the highway. this year it happened to the same window again, mid-april 2011, which means the replacement parts failed, too. the wind in the car was awful, not to mention the cold! it certainly made for a noisy, freezing, and uncomfortable drive. when i arrived at my destination, i had absolutely no way to close up my car, since the window glass had disappeared into the door. i was very afraid someone would steal my car. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 jeep liberty limited. the contact stated that the vehicle exhibited a loud popping noise while the vehicle was idle. as the contact accelerated to 20 mph, she realized she had little control of the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where they performed a diagnostic test and confirmed that the rear control arm was rusted and fractured. the vehicle was repaired and the dealer advised that the passenger side control arm was also rusted and could fracture at any time. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was awaiting a response. the current mileage was 61,000 and the failure mileage was 60,000. updated 06/24/11 *bf updated 1/18/2012 *ln *tr

I was driving noticing i had lost control of the car. i thought it might be a blown tire or alignment issue. i got out to check after driving awhile on a 30 mph road. i noticed the rear control arm on the drivers side was rusted and broken apart. i then had no rear control of vehicle. *tr

The car did not feel right when i was driving home one evening and the whole back end jumped to the right when going over bumps or traffic passed my car. i got off the freeway and as i turned a corner the whole back end just slid and the vehicle was hard to keep control of. i had to drive 10 mph on city streets to get home and the car was difficult to control, it wanted to keep sliding to one side or the other. i found, on getting home, the rear lower control arm had rotted out and failed. it looked as though it had been in salt water for 25 years. if i had been at freeway speeds when it failed there is no doubt in my mind it would have caused an accident and very likely a fatal accident to me. i have seen 20 year old cars that do not have this kind of rot on critical parts like this and feel there is no way this should of happened on a 7 year old car. i have spoken to chrysler and they will not help me on the repair as it is out of warranty but the real concern is to the pre-mature failure of this critical part. i have kept the part they removed if anyone would care to inspect it. i hope this may help other owners inspect this part and prevent a serious accident. i hope someone from the nhtsa contacts me so i can further express my concerns. updated 05/12/11 *bf updated 1/5/12 *cn

The first time this happened, i was driving home from work, and the passenger side, front window fell into the door. at first, i did not know what had happened, i just heard a loud "bang" from the side of my car - i thought that something may have hit the car. fortunately, i was only going about 35 mph when this occurred, and i was level headed enough to keep driving the car in my lane. this was on route 35 in eatontown, nj, which is a busy highway during rush hour when this incident occurred. the 2nd time this happened, the rear passenger side window fell into the door. this was in june 2010, 47,000 miles. the third time this happened, the driver side front window fell into the door. this was february 14, 2011, 50,000 miles. thank god i was not driving on the garden state parkway when these incidents occurred. i have receipts for the repairs. i just got off the phone with chrysler, and they issued an extended warranty for the 2006 and 2007 models, but not for the 2004 jeep liberty models. the rear window passenger side has not fallen into the door yet. my grandson's car seat is next to that window. i know that it is unsafe, but i am losing my job this year because of fort monmouth closing. i am now seriously thinking about getting a new car when i find a new job. the component that fails is the window regulator. it holds the window in place, and when it fails, the window falls into the door.

Normal use of the vehicle. normal use of the power windows. no bumps, accidents, rough driving, inclement conditions, rough terrain, unusual external force applied or anything that would constitute replacing the third power window regulator in approximately 2.5 years. i've fortunately only had to replace the right side of the vehicle's window regulators. both the front and the rear have gone out, the rear twice in the past 2.5 years. jeep has apparently only acknowledged the issue because of the part number revision of the part 6 times since 2004. it would be great to have this problem fixed once and for all and to have all the regulators replace by an authorized dealer with a part that can be guaranteed for the life of the vehicle. i don't want money since this hasn't cause and personal or property damage but i would not like to pay hundreds of dollars every 6-9 months to replace a part that technically should last 5 times as long as it does. *tr

While driving my 2004 jeep liberty i lost power steering. i was able to pull over and stop without incident. my steering rack and a power steering pressure line started leaking a lot of fluid resulting in loss of steering. i have since learned that this is a familiar problem to chrysler/jeep but there is no recall. sudden loss of steering is a serious problem and a recall should be considered. *ln

My spouse was driving on the highway when the left window fell into the door of our 2004 jeep liberty. on further research i became surprised to find hundreds of complaints about the same problem. the costs for repair are nuts and unwarranted because of poor design by chrysler. how is it that the ones to pay for all the mistakes created by manufactures ends up being the consumer. we have done enough for the big corporations it is time to do something for the people. i'm going to recommend to all that i know not to purchase chrysler products. *tr

I was driving up to kids school to park and parked and tried to take the seat belt off and it was stuck. the red release button was stuck down. i was able to get it released, but the red release button was still stuck down. i tried to re-buckle and nothing worked. i went to the dealership "napletons" and they said that the part was on national back order. i am still waiting.

My 2004 jeep liberty has an emergency brake that does not hold. it is a safety hazard. i took it in and had complete new brakes, incl rotors, calipers, new brakes and new emergency installed. still rolls on slight incline with emergency engaged. i know others with the same vehicle who now tell me there's is doing the same thing. this is an obvious dangerous defect of this emergency/parking brake. i had my jeep roll down my driveway almost injuring my cat and crashing into my garage. i had to run to get into it to apply the brake before disaster. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2004 jeep liberty. while driving approximately 65 mph the rear passenger window rolled down on its own. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician stated that the window regulator unit needed to be replaced on all four windows. the failure occurred nine times on all four windows intermittently. the repairs were made to the window regulator unit eight times. the manufacturer was contacted and stated that they would pay for the parts. the vehicle was not repaired. the vin was not available. the approximate failure mileage was 30,000.

I have had repeated problems with my 2004 liberty power steering. it appears that in very cold conditions the fluid leaks, maybe a shrinking gasket or seal? a seeping power steering line? the leak is at the fitting where it goes into the pump. it appears that the pressure from the pump is overpowering the o-ring in this fitting. unfortunately the leak went unnoticed until the system went dry. *ln

Headlights spontaneously switch off then back on, sometimes several times in succession. this occurs nearly every time the vehicle is operated with lights on. individual episodes last anywhere from 1-5 sec, occur multiple times during one drive interval. significant safety risk for "blind" driving (no headlights) and incorrect interpretation of signals to other drivers.

Within months i have had all four of my window regulators break in my vehicle and all four windows fell completely into door. two of the times i was driving down the road when window fell. very expensive to repair already repaired one, now all four broke. cannot get window to go back up. my extended warranty which i paid alot of money for does not cover these expensive parts. how many complaints does it take before making this a recall. *tr

I am a 2004 jeep liberty owner. while driving my vehicle, i attempted to lower my passenger window on a clear sunny day. my passenger side window made a loud pop and then my window fell down. it would not go back up. i finally pulled over and tugged it up in to position and got it to close. it now will not raise or close properly. i called the dealership service department and they tell me it is the window regulator has failed. this sudden collapse of the window caused me to look immediately right to see what i thought was something hitting my vehicle. then the surprise of my window dropping while driving in traffic. this could have caused me to make a sudden driving error causing an accident as it scared me when it happened. it was a very loud pop sound ! i called the dealership service department and i was told it would be about $500.00 to fix. after researching this on the web, i see i am one of thousands with defective windows that drop for no reason in these doors of the jeep liberty. some 6-7 times. we as consumers deserve better from chrysler. if you check the service records for this problem it should stand out like a sore thumb. we desperately need a recall of for this part of the vehicle that the dealerships are willing to replace while under warranty and acknowledge there is a problem and replace the defective ones but once the warranty expires then we are on our own. the problem is in the design itself. the window regulator is causing problems that are a safety concern and hazard. please investigate this issue with the jeep liberty. customer service is no help. they tell me to pay the repair expense (caused by the manufacturer's cheaply made product) then send in my receipt and it may get reviewed. this is a safety issue. there are too many that are having to be replaced. this is a problem. i urge someone to launch an investigation into this. this is not jeep quality that i thought i was purchasing when i paid the huge amount for this vehicle brand new. *tr

2004 jeep liberty, rear driver side electric window drops down into door, jams door lock, runs down battery-all due to a tiny plastic part breaking repeatedly. i paid to have this fixed in 10/15/08 ($205),read on internet all jeep owners all models with electric windows having same problem. so, did not use window or door ever since. same clip broke and was replaced under warranty 9/18/09. still don't use door or window. same clip broke again 10/25/10. no longer under warranty so dealer won't repair. called jeep corporate. they refuse to even consider working with me or explaining what they will do until i get "an official diagnosis" from a jeep dealer which will cost me $94.50 to get. only then will they even talk to me about this problem. everyone is having this problem.a tiny plastic clip into which the fuzzy cable connects gets worn over time and breaks. no rocket science there, take a thin piece of plastic and put metal against it and even if not used will vibrate if you drive the car and it will break. costing jeep owners big time.first time it stranded my daughter in the middle of the night,jamming the door and running down the battery as electric window kept trying to engage. now it is sitting in my yard,cannot secure my car as windows is down inside door,and have plastic over window to keep out the rain. this is ridiculous. case # now with jeep is [xxx],case manager casey, 1-800-763-8422 but like i said,until i'm willing to pay $94.50 for "official diagnosis" of a broken ten cent part,they won't tell me if they will work with me at all or to what extent. only that without the diagnosis, nothing can be done further. first time it broke, sitting in driveway. second time i pulled up in parking lot and exited front door when window in rear door crashed down inside, i hadn't even touched the door. this time broke in parking lot, no one in car. window just falls down into door. costing jeep owners big time, you have to change entire window regulator, jeep won't sell clip. *tr

My 2004 jeep liberty continues to have problems with the door regulator. this is the fourth time it has happened and chrysler will not recall the defective part. the glass on the door will slide down, and the window will not operate. this has happened twice on the highway and it is very dangerous. the repair cost is approx $500 each time this has happened. it keeps happening to the windows that i have even gotten repaired already. the dealer stated that it was a defective part, they changed the part and now they are going back to the original as that one was no better. so even though i am getting the windows repaired, it continues to happen to all three of the windows. there is only one that it hasn't happen to. *tr

I bought a 04 jeep liberty for my son. the driver's window went out immediately after buying it. research showed thousands of occurrences of this happening to people everywhere. the nylon support bracket is not strong enough to perform its designed function and breaks over and over again with no recall from chrysler. this is a safety issue and for that reason chrysler should issue a recall and fix this problem. chrysler seems to be just getting rich off of fixing their badly engineered window regulator at the consumers expense. i am sure glad the government gave them bail out money but when will they accept responsibility for their poor design and recall this window regulator bracket. in my case, only the nylon support bracket that supports the window to move up/down the track is broken. this is a shameful way for a car maker to handle a problem that is obviously a design flaw. some agency needs to force chrysler to own up to this and help the consumer get what he paid for - a vehicle with power windows that work as designed. *tr

The headlights of my 2004 jeep liberty sporadically blink on and off while i'm driving. this first occurred over a year ago, which i had brought my car to the dealer's service center and was told they could not duplicate the issue. the issue seemed to have been resolved after having to replace the lamps of the headlights a few weeks after; however, has recurred over the past few months. in research i've found on-line discussions of jeep drivers with the same issue, an issues some communicate they've reported as far back as two years ago. i find it very disturbing the dealer service center was unable to pin point the issue and now very frustrated to learn others have the same concerns and there hasn't been a recall. please take consideration into this matter to help resolve this very dangerous issue. *tr

11 months ago my driver side rear window regulator broke and i had to have it fixed. they said it happens because of the heat. fine, i forked out a few hundred dollars and a few hours of my time. then yesterday i got into my car and sure enough the window was down, when i tried to roll it up and nothing happened i immediately called the dealership. they set me up with an appointment for this morning. they said it happens all the time and chrysler is aware of the problem, but is not doing anything about it, rather they are making more money off of the customers in the repairs. there are thousands of complaints about this online, and now this is the third regulator my car has had, with no guarantee i won¿t be back again next year for another. *tr

There is a constant problem with the rear calipers on the 2004 jeep liberty the have been replaced 3 times in the matter of 2 years. the dealer says they overheat and need to be replaced. *tr

Headlights go off intermittently, for 1 - 2 seconds. this seems to happen repeatedly on certain highways, while driving past the same location. the headlight relay can be heard to click off and on when this happens. the dealer checked the car for this problem 2 years ago but they could not duplicate it or find any fault in the electrical system. *tr

I have a 2004 jeep liberty that i have owned since 8/21/07. about 1 month ago i started having problems with my tailgate not opening, but the glass does will open. it remains locked, but i hear the actuator working and i know the recall on this vehicle has been completed in 12/2006. *tr

2004 jeep liberty-can not remove key from ignition-appears to be a very common problem with these cars-dealer wants $500.00 to replace ignition switch and shifter interlock-i do not know how many jeep owners have reported this problem, but if you search on line, it is obvious that this a factory defective system and should be recalled and mfg should be responsible for repairing . *tr

I have a 2004 jeep liberty and on 4 separate occasions have had the driver's front and rear windows fall into the door unexpectedly due to a failed window regulator. on two of these occasions the window failure occurred while the vehicle was in operation. on all four occasions, the dealership charged me $325 to fix the window even though they admitted that it was due to a faulty part because i was no longer under warranty. the rear driver window has failed on 3 separate occasions, each time, within less than a year of having the regulator replaced at a jeep authorized dealership. the service manager at my jeep dealership has admitted to me that it is a faulty part and that the right thing would be if chrysler were to issue a recall for the parts. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2004 jeep liberty. the contact noticed that the front passenger side door and both rear doors were unlocked. the switch was stuck in the unlocked position and could not be locked by remote or manually. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that there was a related recall. the manufacturer and an authorized dealer were notified and informed the contact his vehicle was not included in nhtsa recall campaign id number 04v111000, latches, locks, linkages, doors latch. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure and current mileages were 34,262.

I have a 2004 jeep liberty. the passenger side window fell into the door. took it to a repair shop and was told the regulator had failed. i have read several instances of this type of failure on this model vehicle. why isn't the nhtsa doing anything about this? *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2004 jeep liberty. while the contact was driving approximately 60 mph, the engine warning light illuminated on the instrument panel and suddenly the engine stalled. also, the speed odometer displayed an inaccurate reading which fluctuated when traveling. the engine restarted and the vehicle was able to resume normally. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where there were replacements of the cruise control sensor, speed control and computer module. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer on seven separate occasions for the identical failures. the contact had concern of the safety hazard involved. the failure continued to occur after the service repairs. the failure mileage was approximately 3,000.

My 2004 jeep liberty has had the same broken window three separate times. the regulator inside the window motor is poorly designed and snaps. i have just read hundreds of complaints on the internet about this and several other people said they filed a complaint as well. the window basically falls down, and it could have easily shattered all over my three year old who was sitting beside this window. now it is 100+ degrees here and i have to try to unsafely rig this window so it doesn't fall and break. chrysler will give an estimate of over $500 to fix this. this is the third time. something needs to be done to fix this issue and now. *tr

I have a 2004 jeep liberty that i have had for about 3 years. within the last year i have now had two of the windows suddenly stop working with no warning. the first one was the driver's side backseat window. last year i was putting it down due to the heat. when i went to put it up, i could hear the motor trying to work but to no avail. after checking it out, i could actually see a long, metal cord or cable sticking out of the small hole in the door. at the time i took it to the local jeep dealership and they said it would be about $500 to fix! unfortunately, this is too much for me so i have been using doorstops to keep the window up. today, i had a similar experience with the driver's side window. this time the window would not go back up. i just spent the last hour dissecting the door and prying the window back up. after looking online, this seems to be a very big problem for this car. i do feel something should be done by chrysler. *tr

Purchased vehicle used, low miles 32,764, january, 2009. around early august, 2009, the passenger window fell down and wouldn't go back up. you could hear motor running when window switch was pressed. called chrysler on 8/10/09. they advised window regulator was known issue with chrysler (they assigned case number). advised me to call dealer. i did. out of stock. too, they would have to open door panel and charge me $59.95 just to take panel off. he would then have to call chrysler once the panel was off to see if they would agree to fix it. ridiculous. told him to call back when in stock. when i didn't hear back, i phoned a couple more times and then gave up. went ahead and had it fixed by a repair man 9/2/09 at a cost of $230. the third week of october, 2009, the rear driver side window fell down a few inches and wouldn't go up or down. the rear passenger side window would not go up or down. you could again hear the motor running when the window switches were pushed. the two rear windows cost me $400 to have fixed with my repair man. i had given up on the dealer. in all three instances, i was shown the broken part that was taken out of the door panel. the cables are breaking free in the window regulators. *tr

Headlights intermittently flash on/off several times. i hear the relay clicking. this occurs one or two times every other day or so. *tr

All lights, (including headlamps), intermittently turn off. this has happened 3 times already, all at night while driving 65-70 mph on the highway. the first occurrence was around july, 2009. the last occurrence was last night, june 7, 2010. nothing but pitch blackness when they went off. had to try to steer car to side of road. if you turn the headlamp on/off a few times or jiggle the control it will turn on/off and then stay on. this is pretty dangerous. this is my daughter's car and i will not let her drive it anymore as a result. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 jeep liberty. the contact stated while driving at unknown speeds, the check engine light would illuminate and over time, the vehicle would overheat. the vehicle was taken to an independent repair facility where she was advised the water pump had failed. the mechanic replaced the water pump accordingly however, the failure continued to recur. the water pump was replaced two additional times due to the recurring failures. the failure mileage was 40,000 and the current mileage was 94,000.

The driver's side window regulator failed and the window was inoperable. the regulator was replaced by a mechanic. *tr

Jeep liberty window regulator breaks allowing window to fall down into door and remain inoperative until fixed. we own a 2004 liberty and have now had 12 regulators repaired/replaced over 6 years because of some executive decision to cut cost with a plastic part vs steel. been caught in monsoon with broken window, 100+ degree temperatures with broken window. this can happen at any time/mileage, moving or stationary, using or not using windows. *tr

Two window regulators in my jeep liberty failed and the windows dropped. it happened during a rainstorm and i nearly drove off the road into a ditch because of it. someone is going to die because of this. the windows just dropped. i had to put a permanent support in place to prevent the window from falling. it¿s a common problem and chrysler will not address it. safety is being compromised for profit. *tr

2004 jeep liberty windows fall down. regulators are junk!!! this is my 5th replacement!!! *tr

While driving, the front passenger window dropped into the door and would not respond using the window switch. window had to be taped to the door frame until we could get it to a repair facility. the regulator failed and both the regulator and motor had to be replaced. *tr

Window regulator in three of the windows failed while driving. no way to put up the window while driving. no way to secure the vehicle when parked. no way to keep rain and snow from coming in the window until it was repaired. we replaced the window regulators with ones from a salvage yard. we kept old parts.

Window in my 2004 jeep liberty will suddenly drop down and will not go back up even though they are power. i then have to have them replaced. i have had 3 of the 4 windows replaced and am now working on the last. this time, my dog was in the back. had my mother not been in the back seat he would of jumped through not knowing what was going on. there i am driving down the highway and my window slips down. this is expensive to cost and can be very dangerous... can you imagine if your child was back there. *tr

While recently driving my 2004 jeep liberty, my 10-year old daughter in the backseat began to lower the rear window using the power window button. at a certain point, i heard a loud grinding noise. upon stopping, i noted that the window had failed in the lowered position and would not move with further manipulation of the power window button. however, i also noted that the rear passenger door would not open and was jammed shut. i was unable to open the door from either the inside or outside of the vehicle. upon taking the vehicle home and removing the door panel, i noted that the window regulator ¿ a plastic piece ¿ had failed. at this point, i was still unable to open the door. i then removed the power window motor and accompanying assembly. with this action, i noted that the screw cable, in absence of the plastic regulator piece, had run its entire length up into the rear portion of the door behind the locking mechanism. with the screw cable lodged behind the locking mechanism, the door was jammed and would not open with any normal force. a simple search on the internet results in numerous discussions of problems with the window regulator failing due to the plastic design. it is in my opinion that such a failure is hazardous as it may render the occupant unable to egress the vehicle in an emergency. although the probability of a crash coupled with a regulator failure is low, a simple fix is inexpensive in comparison such as offering a replacement regulator piece made of a material more resistant to fatigue and/or re-route the tubing that houses the screw cable such that failure of the regulator will not allow the screw cable to run behind the locking mechanism. i have since disconnected the electrical lead to the power window motor and tie-wrapped the window in the closed position pending a suitable fix to the regulator. *tr

2004 jeep liberty parked in parking garage. put key in ignition and had foot on brake. turned key on, put it in reverse and car accelerated out of control. put second foot on brake and tried to stop car. continued to accelerate. front drivers side tire caught a pillar and between that and practically standing on brake finally stopped car. took car to dealer in west valley ut. they could not repeat a diagnostic problem but did state the throttle body was dirty and cleaned it, along with $1575.95 worth of parts and labor. they replaced a bent steering gear. i had the car for 5 years and it never happened before. i wrote to chrysler and they sent me a check for half of the $1575.95 damage. they did not include any other paperwork. i called them and they again would not put anything in writing as to why they did not pay the entire amount. i strongly feel that it was a problem with the acceleration system and i should be reimbursed for the rest of the money. *tr

I was at a complete stop with my foot firmly on the brake waiting to exit a parking lot to enter traffic, when the jeep started to accelerate into oncoming traffic. i was holding the brake down and i could hear a grinding noise as the car continued to advance into traffic. i took my foot from the brake and put on the accelerator to narrowly miss being hit broadside by a pickup truck. i called chrysler and was told that she had never heard of this happening, but i have found many other peoples' stories online of the same problem. *tr

Drivers side defective window regulator, cable brakes, window will not operate. the consumer stated that a thin nylon part had broken from the lift component that the window attached to, that could be repaired/replaced for $5.00, however chrysler did not make the cable available and instead consumers were being forced to buy the entire motor assembly for $180.00 and labor at $350.00 even if the motor and/or regulator were not defective. the reason why the window failed, was because of the failure of the poor nylon part component or cable installed. once the small nylon piece broke off, the nylon part was no longer attached to the actual cable that moved up and down via the window motor, or the cable would break itself. the window motor continued to work. *jb

My 2004 jeep liberty with 46,253 miles has blown a head gasket for no reason. the auto shop stated that the jeep liberty are all blowing head gaskets for no reason. i found out about it when i got an oil change and they told me i have anti freeze in my oil. i said what does that mean and they told me that i have a blown head gasket and that is how anti freeze is getting into the oil. the auto shop that fixed it charged me $1,395.34 to fix it and they told me that jeep liberty's have been blowing head gaskets. he already fixed a lot of jeep liberty's head gaskets. i asked him what would of happened if i didn't get an oil change and kept driving with the anti freeze in the oil. he told me that i would have blown the engine. he also stated that jeep is looking into the problem and for me to keep the receipt in case they do have a recall on there head gaskets. i would like to file a complaint about jeep liberty's head gasket problems. *tr

My husband is a mechanic. he and his employer were trying to maneuver a 2004 jeep liberty into the work stall from the parking lot. the jeep had a broken ball joint (a condition that they later found was under recall notice) and would not steer, so my husband was guiding it with a floor jack while his boss was behind the wheel, braking when necessary to help control forward momentum. the vehicle was idling. this is standard procedure, one carried out many times by both men. both men have at least 25 years of experience each as auto mechanics. there is a lip just at the door of the shop to prevent water from coming in, and when the jeep came to this lip, the vehicle tipped slightly, and the right front tire touched the ground. instantly, the engine revved and the vehicle jumped forward at full power. the boss literally stood as hard as he could on the brake but to no effect. the vehicle left a long black skid line behind it where the back tires were trying to brake, but the front tires were continuing to accelerate. my husband was hit and dragged fifteen feet then crushed against an upright support. according to both mechanics, the front wheels should not have had power to them, since the vehicle was not in four-wheel drive and cannot put itself into four-wheel drive: a lever must be raised manually. my husband had to be life flighted to emmanuel hospital where he was diagnosed with a collapsed lung, broken nose, broken collarbone, nine broken ribs, and a broken ankle. he also suffered general crushing of most of his body. a broken left rib was diagnosed two weeks later. the jeep was taken to a local chrysler dealership for repair of the broken ball joint and the transmission pan, damaged in the accident. *tr

I would like to take this opportunity to express my concerns regarding a malfunction with the window regulator on the 2004 jeep liberty that i own. my initial complaint started on october 29, 2007. i noticed while i was driving, for no reason at all, the back driver side window slid down. there was no recovery, so i visited the chrysler dealer, darner chrysler-jeep in mesa, arizona. i also contacted the chrysler customer service and they agreed to compensate half of the total bill of $304.57. they compensated $154.57. about a month later, november 23, 2007 i had the exact event happen only it was the driver window that had slid down. i repeated my visit to the dealer and called chrysler to ask for their assistance. they agreed this time to pay for the labor of $147.00. i was responsible for $162.89. i now have a third window with the same exact problem that i discovered yesterday, january 31, 2008. i called chrysler and expressed my concerns with these numerous events and they told me that they could not assist me this time as this is the third event. although the chrysler corporation and the dealer are both aware of the numerous replacements that have been done for not only me but for many people who own the 2004 jeep liberty, they are not willing to assist me in any compensation for the third instance or seem to have concern for the safety of their customers. i have researched this problem and found out that there are many people across the u.s. that have experienced their window dropping down as a result of a defective regulator. i found no current recall at the current time. i am very concerned that this is a major safety and security issue that could cause harm to the passengers and the drivers of this vehicle. i am asking for your assistance in forcing a recall for this part in this particular vehicle. i understand that you must receive a large amount of request, but i would appreciate prompt attention in this matter. *tr

On april 12 the vehicle had just been in the shop for a recall part to be replaced which it had been. upon leaving the shop they went over the vehicle and gave it a report card basically and said everything was in tip top shape when it left. a little over a week after we got it out we were driving and stopped at a stop light and when we started to go again we noticed a loud grinding noise from the right rear of the vehicle. we didn't think much of it until we got up the road about 2 miles and stopped at another traffic light and noticed the right rear tire appeared to be smoking. we happened to be right next to a gas station so we pulled over and put water on the tire to cool it off since it was so darn hot. we waited about 20 minutes and then drove the car back home which was about 5 miles away. when we left it still was grinding. we waited a few days and thought it might have just rusted over, and then drove it again. it didn't seem to make the grinding sound except every so often so we kind of wrote it off. after about a month of this off and on grinding we decided enough was enough and we were now going to have to address this issue. after talking to about 4 random other liberty owners in different parking lots, 3 out of the 4 i talked to had the same problem i do. so it is very apparent to me that jeep has a defective brake part if 4 out of 5 liberty's including mine have had the same exact problem within as little as 6 months of a brand new liberty for one owner and just about all within 40,000 miles. this did not cause an accident for us, but if that one brake had really locked up on the highway that could cause the vehicle to go into a spin and maybe even roll over. we are now in the process of getting this fixed and we need to replace the pistons in the right rear brake with possibly even having to replace the whole brake assembly. *ak

I recently received notification of a safety recall for my 2004 jeep liberty with regard to the lower ball joints. the problem is that water may enter into the front suspension lower ball joints on my jeep. this can cause the ball joint to corrode and separate. ball joint separation can result in a loss of steering control and could cause a crash without prior warning. i contacted my dealership in order to get the part ordered and line up an appointment to have the repairs completed. the dealership was contacted on 01/24/07..the day after i first received notification of the safety issue. they informed me that they would order the part and call me to set up an appointment to as soon as the part came in. i had not heard from the dealership, so i called them on 02/13/07 to inquire about the "ordered" part. there was no record of a part being ordered. therefore, i placed the order again on that day and asked if someone could call me back to give me an idea of when i could be scheduled for an appointment and how long it would take for the part to come in. i have not been contacted since that last call. i was told by the phone attendant at the dealership that the manufacturer is only sending the service area 3 ball joints at a time--and that is why its taking so long for me to be serviced. i asked the attendant how serious was this recall and if i was in any danger. she asked me if my car was operating properly and i told her yes to my knowledge it was, and she told me that i was probably ok. i would really like to know why it is taking so long to have my car serviced and should the dealerships be taking such a cavalier approach to this recall? *jb
