Failure Date: 06/15/2018

Third brake light rust, due to poor seal and design. Cost hundreds of dollars in repairs, which is silent until the light falls out and damage is beyond a simple repair. I was alerted to this by the auto body shop, that told me it was common in Jeep Liberty, and did my research. We are the only owners, and it has good service records. Spend half of it's time parked in a garage, why is this a issue. Why are many Jeep owners having this issue. Jeep is being repaired light fell out, therefore making it unsafe to drive. I will have a bill for repair at completion. My husband was leaving our driveway when the light was noticed hanging, before it could fall out in traffic.

6 Body problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2016

I was awakened by police stating that my horn had been sounding for approximately 30 minutes. I discovered that the driver's side floor compartment and fuse box were soaking wet. I took the car to the dealer who stated water was leaking into the car because the sunroof had a significant gap in the l/r sunroof glass; gap was not caused by damage. The gap was not repairable; the fix was to tape off the outside of the sunroof. This still leaves the possibility that waster can get into the inner fuse box and possibly cause a short or a fire.

7 Body problem

Failure Date: 09/21/2016

Took vehicle in for n46 recall. They stated that there was level 5 corrosion, cannot complete the recall. After reviewing the information and reviewing chryslers detailed work instructions for the fix with pictures of the various levels of corrosion (see page 8 in rcrit-13v252), things didn't make much sense. I called the dealer back and they stated the threads not the frame had level 5 corrosion. Further in on page 10-11 it talks about replacing these studs if they are corroded. They offered no remedy for the situation or correction needed to prepare the threaded stud, their instructions say to replace anyway. I'm left with an unsafe vehicle to transport my family in. Attached are their detailed instructions as well as a picture of the area in question.

21 Body problem

Failure Date: 02/24/2014

I own a stock 2007 Jeep libery with the 3. 7l v6 and automatic transmission. While driving home the vehicle shut off unexpectedly on a busy five lane 50 mph road. As I coasted into a driveway I saw heavy dark black smoke pouring from under the hood. As I opened the hood there was 5-6 inch flames on most of the stock wiring under the hood. The positive cable that runs under the engine rubbed under the engine until it shorted on the grounded engine block shorting out the electrical system. The fire department showed up and put out the fire and cut the negative cable to stop the outbreak of another fire. All of the cables are now melted and burned together. The repair estimate is close to $5000 without fixing what actually caused the problem, just fixing the melted wires. The fire was started by stock wires on a stock vehicle. The vehicle was taken to parkway before we bought it and went through completely "fixing anything and everything that was wrong or bad with the vehicle. " they clearly missed this major problem that could have killed two teenagers. I have already contacted Chrysler about this problem and they told me this was not their fault. I believe it is, and I want to fix the problem before it does kill someone. I am open to phone calls, I am open to emails anyone you want to contact me would be perfect. I can meet you at the dealership or anywhere you please. I will travel, tell me what actions need to be done and they will be done. There is a lot more of information that can be obtained and will be avalible on demand.

35 Body problem

Failure Date: 12/05/2012

This is a complaint about the fuel issue that I have seen on here already. When I go to put fuel into the gas tank, it will not stop at the end as it's filling up. It just overflows. I would say at least a few cups of fuel flows down the side of the Jeep and down into the bottom of the vehicle and wheel well. I know that at some point it will lead to rust/corrosion among many other issues. I really wish this could be looked at and possibly fixed by manufacturer. It doesn't make sense that there are more than enough complaints about the same issue, with no help from the manufacturer. I also have the same problems as others with the windows. The regulator has a piece that breaks and then the whole regulator has to be replaced. This has happened 3 times already on different windows. Lastly, I just recently had an issue where the Jeep wouldn't start. The console lights and guages work fine and it acted like all was well, but the car wouldn't turn over when the key was turned. The result was the ignition switch actuator pin. It has a piece that breaks off and when that happens, the Jeep wont be able start. It isn't an easy fix for someone who isn't mechanically capable. Again, this is an issue that has happened to many people and honestly the manufacturer should do something about this. I could complain about more, but let's just leave it at that.
