39 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 05/13/2011

I have two (2) Jeep Liberty's both 2006 (1) renegade, & (1) sport, both vehicles have had the window regulater's fail, (2) - window regulater's failed on the renegade, (1) on the driver's front side window, the regulater had to be replaced on 02/12/11 & agian (1) on the driver's rear window, the regulater had to be replaced on 05/18/12 this was on the 2006 Jeep renegade. (2) - window regulater's failed, on the Jeep sport, (1) on the driver's rear window, the window regulater had to be replaced on 09/19/11 & (1) window regulater again on the same window on 10/08/14 needs to be replaced, the same window regulater needed to be fixed twice within three years & 20 days, the dealer would not fix the window under warrenty because it was over the exp. Date by 20 days, why is it always the window regulaters because it's a plastic part and that's why it keeps failling, that's just bull I have spent over 1200. 00 dollars on repairs on windows regulater's alone & it's the same part each time all 4-windows, I uesd to be a great fan of Jeep, I've owned Jeeps for (20) years now, but I have becom really disapointed with my vehicle's, the first time it happened I was on the highway driving at 65 mph when the window suddenly opened, the wind ripped through my vehicle started to blow things around so bad that I had to pull over and tape my window up so I could make it home, and I'm not the only one, alot of Jeep Liberty owners have had the same thing happen to them and had to replace the window regulaters, thank you.

42 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 03/24/2011

Over the past few months, I have occasionally smelled a kerosene odor while driving my Jeep Liberty diesel. Today, I read about a common problem with the fuel heater on the Liberty diesel and so I checked the heater on my vehicle. The plastic insulator around the electrical pins of the fuel heater connector (on cable) is discolored and partially melted. Doing further reading this evening, I discovered that this problem can also be a source of fuel seepage. Although I didn't see any evidence of fuel around the connector, this is obviously an electrical problem and may have been also been the source of the odor I have been smelling while driving. I feel fortunate to have discovered this in a pre-failure condition and have not (yet) experienced a serious fuel leak, engine fire or engine stoppage due to fuel system failure, I was disappointed to learn that your agency was aware of this design problem back in 2007 (pe07041), but closed it with apparently no action taken. In my opinion, this condition certainly warrants a manufacturer's recall and repair. I have photos of the partially burned connector on my vehicle, should you be interested in seeing them. It is quite obvious that the electrical capacity of this connector is being exceeded and is a serious design flaw.

Spills all over my clothes, on the ground and down the side of my vehicle. Also I smell an electrical burning smell when I'm driving my vehicle sometimes which is very scary.

55 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 05/30/2009

I have had my 2006 Jeep Liberty at the dealership 6 times in the 3 years I've owned it. I bought this car brand new and have had nothing but problems since. First the car would not come out of park, at the dealership they couldn't duplicate the problem and sent me on my way. After may months of this happening daily I had it towed on a flat bed to the dealership and they finally replaced a cable that connected the gear shift to brake after telling me I could just slam really hard on the brake and it would just disengage, I should just have done that instead of having it towed. (stupid me I guess) then I had the same abs traction check engine light problems I've heard and read many complaints about, first time taking it in, the problems stopped and they sent me home. Second time, I drove it straight there and made them look at it and drive it, they had my car for four days and call me to tell me there was nothing they could do because the codes were stored and not active reset the computer and sent me on my way. Now yesterday a year later and at 48,000 miles the car started again. I made them hook it up while the car was still running and the lights still on. What they don't tell you is that shutting your car off "stores" the codes. With the car still on, the codes were active and they found the problem. The body control module. However now it is out of factory warranty and I had to fight with the gm to get it covered. They still wouldn't cover it under factory but did cover it under extended warranty and waived my deductible. However I am still very upset that this has not been recalled, this should not be at my expense at all!!! I will never buy another Jeep ever!.
