general problems of the 2006 Jeep Liberty - part 1

I have 2 recall on my 2006 Jeep Liberty dealer don’t want to fix please I need help.

In December 2020, I stopped at the post office to drop a letter in the outdoor box. I rolled down my window, deposited the letter, and drove off. As I was raising my driver side window, I heard a loud noise and my window dropped into the car door. It was another broken window regulator. It was 30 degrees outside and I had other errands to run. I had to drive around the city with my window half-way down in the freezing weather. Jeep had a recall in 2010 stating "we are extending the warranty period for window lift plate repairs because some vehicles have experienced repeat concerns with window components. If you have already experienced this window regulator concern and have paid to have it repaired, you may be eligible to receive reimbursement. " when I was notified about the recall, I submitted receipts for the three incidents I had with broken window regulators that needed to be replaced. Chrysler reimbursed me my full out-of-pocket expenses of $708. 28 on January 24, 2011. Now I need them to pay me $461. 50 for the window regulator that was replaced on April 14, 2021. This is an ongoing problem, and most of all, a safety issue because of the distraction it causes to a driver. I recently read the following: distracted driving is a deadly problem�it led to 3,142 deaths in 2019, according to the most recent statistics from the national highway traffic safety administration (NHTSA). Chrysler should extend the window regulator recall on Jeeps and reimburse me $461. 50 because this is a real safety hazard. What if I had been driving on the interstate at 70 mph and my six pound baby was in his car seat in the back seat, and his window fell in due to a bad regulator? that would be a major distraction to me and a definite safety concern for my baby. This is definitely not a parts problem. This is a huge safety issue.

I have been the sole owner of this vehicle purchased new in 2006 and have experienced door window issues occurring 8 times due to "lift plate, and regulator" problems. In investigating other complaint for this model year, window issues seem to be persistent problems. Date of occurrence are 8/4/07 back window; 11/5/07 front window; 10/29/08 passenger side rear window; 7/16/10 left right window; 8/19/14 right passenger window; 2/7/18 driver window, 7/13/20 front passenger window. I contacted Chrysler reporting the most recent issue and they stated the vehicle was too old for a active complaint or any reimbursement. I want awareness of this issue to be known and reported.

I've to replace the rear tail light assembly 4 times, it keeps blowing out the brake and tail light. I've also had to purchase 5 a/c compessors for this truck and the abs, traction light stays on.

My lights are turning on dash. It grabs real bad and acts like it going to die in traffic. Dangerous. My 4 wheel drive will not work.

Ignition key interlock. Cant take key out of ignition due to gear shift interlock. Have to leave key in ignition risking vehicle getting stolen.

Key gets stuck in ignition. Forcing customers to pay $1,000 for a mistake made by Chrysler. The vehicle was in a parked position and key wont pull to last click. There is a temp fix to this but requires you to pull out plastic from gearshift to push down cable. Jiggling and doing everything you can to remove it will not fix the issue. Chrysler made faulty parts and was told by the dealer they are new parts available in arch 22nd for a permanent solution.

Tl- the contact 2006 Jeep Liberty. The contact stated she unable to unlock her rear trunk. Upon investigation the contact associated NHTSA campaign number: 06v072000 (latches/locks/linkages) with failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired as of yet. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer has not been informed of failure. The failure mileage was 70,000. Dp.

My back rear control arms/suspension/alignment were recalled, I had them replaced. Now my front control arms/suspension/alignment are very unsafe to drive. Wobbly, unstable, loose, noises, screeching. It feels like it’s going to break/snap/fall off. Yes my vehicle is available for inspection. I feel unsafe on turns especially. It could snap at any moment and my Jeep could roll injuring me or others. I had a tire/allignment center check the status. No warning lights or messages. The sound and issue has been going on since I got my Jeep recall fixed. The dealership hit the front of my Jeep in the parking lot and still has not taken responsibility for their actions and damages done to my Jeep. It was evaluated from Jeep’s body/auto shop estimating at outer damage 1,500$ + and they have not inspected the damage caused to the control arm/suspension/alignment from the employee hitting me Jeep into something moments before returning my Jeep from a recall-fix. Jeeo still has yet to take responsibility for the damages caused. I have not felt safe since then. The steering has been wobbly, the turns make noise and shudder like the wheel is going to break off/fall off or worse snap. I have tried numerous attempts to get these issues resolved with Jeep Liberty of san diego camino del rio s. With no responsibility taken from them for the damages they have caused making me Jeep unsafe to drive.

There is only one window that will come down and it's the front driver side, they all came down and would not come back up. I replaced a regulator in the right back window and it went again so I just had them all pinned up. I've also had to replace the ac compressor twice and just put in 07/06/2018. I had to have a transmission put in 3 years ago. And now the truck is just shutting down when I come to a stop but it will start back up. I had a diagnosis test done and it didn't show any problems, but it's still shutting down and I don't know why. The mechanic said it is probably something electrical or has to do with the computer.

Backing plate comes un riveted making lots of grinding noises. I was backing up one day and my tire sensor snapped off and my cars started grinding so badly it was un drivable.

There is a white powder like substance that comes out of the air vents and has an oily texture and an overpowering smell. It clouds the windshield and obstructs my vision. I cannot drive it due to the clouding and smell. This happens when I am driving anywhere, turning, or stationary. I do not know what caused this to happen as I have not had an accident in the car. I can't have it repaired as I cannot afford it. I have a nice vehicle, but cannot drive it in this condition. So the cause is unknown.

The fuel tank has a chance of experiencing a fuel leak duringcertain types of rear end collisions. This could result in a fire.

The clutch ignition, power switch of my truck keeps stalls. The vehicle don't start, when the clutch pedal is pushed down. Also the engine crank and start without the clutch pedal being pushed down causing the vehicle to unexpectedly lurch. I was notified by a dealer after inspection that said problem is a manufacturer problem, that was on recall. However said my vehicle VIN# could not be located with the recall. I called the manufacturer on 1-800-992-1997, and was told I have to pay for the repairs. I will highly appreciate your immediate intervention.

We all own cars. My car has this problem where the power windows suddenly stop working. In other words, I can lower my window and have it suddenly decide to not come back up, leaving me with a vehicle subject to all kinds of theft. This problem has happened thirteen times now on my 2006 Jeep Liberty and Chrysler expects me to pay $475 for each repair. I want chrylser to provide this service for me free of charge, only because they did the first twelve times. Without this support, I am in a position where I cannot keep my car and cannot afford a new one. Do you know what it feels like to lower your car window and have it suddenly not come back up? especially in the cold of winter? the customer service center gave me every excuse they could find to not help me out. And they also told me I was being pretentious. How would you feel if this was how a car manufacturer treated you? I come from a family of Jeep owners and Chrysler (the mother company) would rather lose my business and permit me to talk negatively about them then stop to help me. They even encouraged me to hit the net and start submitting reviews. This is sort of callous negligence is not what any kind of consumer should endure. At this point, what reason do I have to perform the service? what reason do I have to keep my car? what reason do I have to ever shop with their brand again?.

Jss.

Yesterday, the rear passenger window slid into door, will not come up. Can hear regulator but window is stuck in door. Vehicle was parked on a residential street, all windows were up, and about 20 minutes later the window had disappeared into the door. I called Chrysler but the VIN is not part of Chrysler's notice to owner's in 2010 regarding faulty window regulators.

I had to roll down the driver side window glass to pay parking fee and then the window never went up. Had to drive in the highway when the window was down completely. I had to replace the window glass prior 4 times for their low quality lift plate on window glass and this time the dealer said it is not covered in 7 yrs extended warranty and asked to pay $500 to fix the regulator. The dealer fixed this lift plate issue prior under 7 yrs extended warranty with low quality material and so this issue reoccured but this time as they found warranty was expired they asked to pay $500 for regulator this time saying it is not under warranty or 7 yrs extended warranty expired. Jeep needs to pay my $500 back for the regulator because I think they are ripping my money off because of their faulty design.

Went to start smoke came out from dash was parked in gargage truck is still in shop ins told me only reason they woul d cover is because is was a long coustomer thy only gave me 883 to repair there are at least 14 codes due to this don't know if they will reset if not I have to pay for repairs I do have fire protection on truck this is allstate I will send paper work if needed at a later date I have none also waiting for check told for me to pay repair shop.

Front suspension:lower ball joint was replaced 2006 it has broke again while pulling into garage but is out of recall feel it is due to faulty replacement parts. Shift interlock cable and gear shifter: cant remove key from the ignition called Chrysler no recall issued for this they will not replace even though if you look in the internet there are lots of Jeep Liberty owners with the same problem.

Originally purchased tow hitch and paid for installation at a car repair shop, then later had to stop by a Jeep dealership to inspect it. The Jeep dealership removed my hitch to install a new one but stole my old hitch that I already paid for. I could have returned the old hitch or used it for my other vehicle but instead they refused to give it back to me and wouldn't even give me back the small rubber tow hitch cover I had on it. So now I'm out the money I paid for the original hitch and now Chrysler Jeep gets away with stealing my aftermarket add-ons. This is criminal and I should be reimbursed for what they took from me. The dealership was rude to me and told me they had to destroy the tow hitch I brought in. Overall, it was the worst service ever.

Had both rear windows and their regulators replaced at 24,612 miles as both windows had fallen into the doors. The repair was made under goodwill as the vehicle was more than 3 years old but under 36,000 miles. The problem with the rear window appeared again before 49,000 miles and I must bear the cost of the repair, which will be well over $300. We live in constant fear of using our power windows as eventually they will collapse into the doors again for another expensive fix and more time waiting for repairs at the dealership. I bought this vehicle new and still own it. The vehicle was moving when the window problem happened.

Abs, bas/esp, tcs indicator lights illuminate, vehicle loses power, brakes are applied ( most likely right front as car pulls to right) releasing throttle cancels the braking. As throttle is reapplied same action is repeated. So far it has only occurred at speeds< 35 mph. Should it occur in slippery road conditions it most likely result in loss of control. In researching the problem on the internet, it seems to be or is becoming a more common occurence which fca is not addressing. If you read the other complaint of the same problem it dates back a few years, yet there doesn't seem to be anything done to correct it. Some complainants say they have been unable to have it corrected even at Jeep dealerships, others report it's something called the clock spring that is causing the problem and the parts to repair it aren't available. Having just recently had fca's gas tank solution corrected, I hope a fix for this won't take as long. I neglected to say this was not a one-time event in as much as it happens now on an almost daily basis. A local shop checked for fault codes but there were none in memory; I have it scheduled for further tests 09/16/2015.

Cannot fill gas tank without gas spewing out even if trying to fill it very slow. I'm only able get a few dollars in a time, but always end up taking a "gas bath. " also when I purchased the Jeep Liberty in 2009 I cannot let the gas auto fill or it will "splash out" when it clicks off. I have to watch it fill and shut off at 16. 5 gallons or less if completely empty or I'll have a mess on my hands.

Theresa and philip yanarella theresa7206@aol. Com: complaint about Jeep backing plates: 2006 Jeep Liberty VIN # 1j4gl48k56w168526. I am writing about a safety problem we encountered over the past few weeks. On 2 separate occasions; 8-13 and 9-3-15 I almost drove off the road when suddenly my vehicle began to shake,loud, clamoring noise occurred, which made it imperative that I pull to the side of the road/await assistance. The problem was that the backing plates had corroded and rusted to such a severe degree the car was inoperable without expensive repairs (557. 97 each time). The close timing of these incidents show that the lifespan of these parts were not made to last. Jeep declined the request to reimburse expenses paid, and failed to address the bigger safety concern. I worry someone will not be as lucky when this problem occurrs. It is a very dangerous situation when a vehicle <10 yrs old used solely as a passenger vehicle, is made of such poor quality parts that they literally rust off the vehicle while it is in transit. In doing research on the extent of these backing plate issues, I see that there have been a significant customer complaints from a quality, financial, and safety perspective, yet I see that nothing has been done to rectify this issue. It is my view that I should have been notified of this quality issue before I almost had accidents twice within a 3 week period. This make and model has been the subject of several consumer safety recalls, I am surprised that this has backing plate issue has not been brought to attention of owners so that it could be resolved in an expeditious manner at the cost of Jeep corp. This is an issue that their company was aware of and parts should not ¿rot¿ off quality vehicles. Jeep responded on 9-29-15 and failed to mention the safety issue related to this problem. I attached their letter via attached file.

After putting my front driver side window down completely, it will not go back up. The motor runs, it makes a sound, but window does not move. I was forced to leave my car parked in a medical center parking garage during my work shift 4:00pm to 12:00am. Of course, it was completely unsafe for me, a young female, to return to my open car and had to be escorted by a security officer. I then drove the 25 freeway miles home completely exposed to the elements. Having googled the malfunction, I learned that this is a very common issue with the 2006 Jeep Liberty and is very expensive to repair. I am astounded to also learn that Chrysler did not issue a recall on this mechanical failure. As a college student, I am not financially able to incur this expense, nor do I think I should be required to, and am asking that Chrysler perform repairs on all four windows at not cost to me. Please advise. Thank you for your consideration.

As I was leaving the grocery store I heard a slam noise in the back passenger area of my Jeep Liberty. I pulled back into the parking and saw that my rear passenger window had fallen into the door. I went online to inquire about it and saw that this is a problem for the majority of 06 Jeep Liberty owners alike. I called Chrysler Jeep and because there's no recall on my VIN I would have to pay for all repairs myself. It's too expensive and I'm not about to pay for another faulty part like everyone else did. My father paid to fix the rear driver's side window in March. The rear passenger side window fell in August 2015. This needs to be fixed by Chrysler due to all of these consumer complaints!.

Every time I fill up the gas tank it overflows. I have spoken to other people who have the same car and they said they have same problem and in one case the person told me that Jeep repaired it as part of recall, but I do not see it as a recall specifically, and when I called Chrysler about it they said it is not a recall item for the car. This is a Liberty submodel.

My blower motor resistor is partially inoperative. There was a issue with the blower motor that was a recall item and it was addressed in this car by previous owner but I believe the blower motor should have been replaced also.

The 2006 Jeep Liberty has an exposed gas tank susceptible to exploding on rear-end collision. As the owner of a used Liberty I'm concerned for my safety.

When it rains my floor board on passenger side floods with 5 to 6 inches of water. I live in florida & we have had a lot of rain the last month & 1/2. This has never happened until now. Why?????.

Unable to close rear lift gate. Vehicle was not using anti-lock brakes. Vehicle was not using cruise control. Was able to have a 'work around' by using the key fob to release the gate latch in order to close the window. As of Saturday may 9,2015, that work around has failed. Key fob is still able to lock/unlock doors and set alarm. Noticed no superficial water damage /leaks around weather strip. Read and noticed several complaints about the rear window latch not closing properly if at all. This is a driving hazard that will surely cause drivers to have infractions and/or accidents. Please advise.

3 broken windows one is stuck in door one is stuck up and back seat is stuck . All have broken within a week. I cant afford to get all 3 fixed at one time . Just for them to break again.

Windows regulaters fail . Windows just drop when you operate them. Every window has done this . For no known reson.

The contact owns a 2006 Jeep Liberty. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 13v252000 (fuel system, gasoline, structure). The vehicle was taken to a dealer to have the recall repairs performed. The technician was unable to implement the remedy because the vehicle did not support proper installation due to corrosion surrounding the hitch attachment area. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The failure mileage was 114,664.
