general problems of the 2006 Jeep Liberty - part 1

Hello, my name is jamie woodley. I'm filing this complaint on my 2006 Jeep Liberty sport. Currently, there's a recall for the suspension rear lower control arms. I've read the previous recalls on it, which I saw this vehicle has been reprogrammed before. I've only had the vehicle for a few months and I've had an oil leak, bad thermostat, and the transmission is busted. I can't reverse or drive over 10 mph. I heard the transmission may be in fail safe mode. I had midas do a full inspection, but they failed to acknowledge the lower control arms by suggesting brakes. I knew it wasn't the brakes. The technician drove the vehicle after the brakes were done, but I still heard/felt a problem with the suspension. There is a recall for that from 2018. I purchased the vehicle last year in March 2020. Also, the rear lift gate was dented when I bought it like the vehicle may have been in an accident. This was a vehicle I purchased for my 2 kids and I. This vehicle has been giving me problems since I bought it. The back driver's side window won't go all the way up. I have to keep a stick in between just to keep the window from falling all the way in the door. Definitely not a safe vehicle. My engine stalled out on the free way while I was on my way to pick up my kids. After my oil change, no oil light came on. I am seeking help with any buy back programs or a valued trade in appraisal. I have a quote from conrad's on how much it's going to cost to fix it and the price is over $3,000. I have extended warranty, but am unsure if it will cover any service requests. That is pretty outrageous that it's going to cost that much to fix it. I've been at take 5 to keep up on the maintenance and was told I had an oil leak somewhere. On top of the brakes, I've spent money on 4 new tires, 6 ignition coils, an O2 sensor, and I bought a new pcm/ecu computer I have yet to have installed. Feel free to contact me at the information I've provided. I'd be truly grateful for any assistance. Thanks!.

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

August 2018 the electrical went out. Radio/stereo, automatic door lockers. Paid to get this fixed. August 2019. Exact same problem. The dealer fixed it. It happened again 3 days later. Then they kept car from 9/4-9/20 and could not fix it. I still have no electrical in steroe or door mechanisms.

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

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

Both rear window motors have failed. The windows slide down into the doors stationary, and or driving.

My Jeep was part of a recall in 2012. The drivers side rear window wouldn't go up or down. L-27 rear control arms were replaced. 02-l2-71-82 rear control arms and cbfzl270aa arm lower control.

The sunroof drains into the passenger compartment and on to the fuse panel and freezes. I have to replace at $822. 00. A service bulletin was issued in 2006 addressing this issue the drain issue was repaired by dealer during warranty in 2007. A frozen fuse panel can cause an electrical fire inside the car.

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

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

2006 Jeep Liberty clockspring malfunction. Contact with dealership yielded info that no replacement part is available, yet the car is rendered unsafe without the replacement of malfunctioning part. Owners have to decide whether to drive unsafely or park it until the part is available, which most people cannot afford to do. This is a widespread problem that Chrysler is not addressing.

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

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

Our Jeep Liberty failed inspection due to a failed clock spring. This part is backordered with an expected delivery time frame of more than 7 months. Since this was a safety inspection failure, this vehicle is non-drivable. We were forced to scrap the Liberty and purchase another vehicle (Ford). We received absolutely no help from the dealership, or from Chrysler corporate. Chrysler case number = 29418335.

My car was parked in my driveway, not moved or in use and the back left windows mechanism fail to work window wouldn't go up or down window did not stay up while driving keep falling down. Replaced the part. Parked car in my garage started to use the car again after bringing it in to dealer for two recalls to be done spending over 500 dollars changing all the fluids buying a brad new battery drove car every day since August 21,2015 car has 358 miles at this date August 28 2015 the back right windows mechanism doesn't work just like the previeus time.

Keys stuck in ignition. Would not come out which left leaving my vehicle unsafe to leave unattended. Took it to the dealership today and they had to replace the entire shifter and something in the ignition. I was told this happens often in this particular model. Total repair was $699.

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

My friend and I just finished having lunch at restaurant. It was snowing really bad, I brushed snow off and I pressed the left passenger button to let window down so that I can see and the window would not come back up. My friend and I got out of the Jeep and pushed window up with our hand. But when I drive it falls down, really bad during the summer time. Driving to work one day and the esp, bas and tcs light all come on. Eventually went off but after 4 mins lights came back on.

The rear driverside window falling problems with both front windows making a screeching sound when putting them up. The rear window wiper stopped working.

The contact owns a 2006 Jeep Liberty. The contact stated that the park safety cable would not allow the key to be removed from the ignition without warning.

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

Both rear passage windows fail to work at all we had to tape up the windows and the power make a grilling noise.
