Example complaints

“I have a 2005 Jeep Liberty renegade and once again...for the 3rd time, the regulator has failed on my driver's side passenger window. This has also happened on the passenger side rear window twice. I'm sure after I have the driver's side repaired, this one will also fail. Seeing the neverending complaints filed from other Jeep owners having the same problem, how many complaints have to be filed before chrysler fixes the problem?”
NHTSA complaint #10421700, filed 2011-08, 34,300 miles“A few weeks ago I had flat tire. When we used the jack that came with the vehicle it did not live it high enough to put the spare tire on. It lacked about 3 inches or so. If this had happened on the side of the road I would have in a bad situation. We put the flat back on and aired it up using a neighbors air compressor. I searched on the internet and learned that this problem with the jack is normal for the Jeep Liberty. It is a safety issue and should be dealt with. I have no photographic evidence, but would be glad to demonstrate to anyone who would want to check it. …”
NHTSA complaint #11112189, filed 2018-07, 118,000 miles“I was informed that I would need to replace the ball joint suspension on my 2005 Jeep Liberty before it could pass inspection. When I called the chrysler recall hotline, the representative stated that they would not pay for repairs to the Liberty b/c it was already repaired during the recall. But they were more than willing to help me find a dealership to where I would pay for the repair. This was from a faulty design, this is not from wear and tear that occurs when owning a vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #10418448, filed 2011-08, 46,000 miles“As a single mother of baby twins, I am both completely freaked out as well as gratefully relieved to have found this site. The complaints read like a checklist of past issues and god willing, preventable future issues. The gas tank cannot be topped off ... All things considered, this was a seemingly acceptable issue. The engine light coming on accompanied by totally unexplained stalling every so often became a problem which would cease just as randomly as it occurred. Finally (when pregnant and nervous) I brought it in after one too many times. …”
NHTSA complaint #10390460, filed 2011-03, 43,000 miles“The tire jack that came with my 2005 Jeep Liberty bent under the weight of the vehicle. This is not only dangerous to persons near or under the vehicle, but made the jack unable to lift the vehicle to a height adequate to change the tire. The service person from aaa laughed when he saw what Jeep had provided.”
