Two problems related to mid/rear seats assembly have been reported for the 2006 Jeep Liberty. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2006 Jeep Liberty based on all problems reported for the 2006 Liberty.
The bracket that is riveted to the seat frame/pan and bolted to the seat back fractured into two pieces. The bracket on each side of the frame failed under normal use conditions. I purchased a replacement used frame and upon did-assembly discovered the same failure. This could be a fatal condition in a crash, especially if there is a passenger in the rear seat.
Driver seat recliner handle broke off while making the needed adjustment, the operation of the recliner on both driver and passenger is extremely hard. With or with out a load applied to the back. Drive seat is now restricted in movement at a 25 degree angle. Passenger recliner will only work if you are out side the Jeep and assist from the back seat to move the seat back forwards and backwards.
