“Jeep Liberty front left drivers power seat adjuster shield has broken for the second time. Had it replaced once when car was under warranty, now broken second time. This seems to be a faulty design flaw, its aggravating, uncomfortable, and is a pain to replace. Supposedly it costs $75 up, not to mention the labor charges. Chrysler should replace this for free when it breaks.”
