There is a recall on my car for the gas tank being too close to the rear bumper. I brought it to Jeep in nelliston, N.Y. they install a trailer hitch to correct the problem.they worked on it for one hour, and then told me they can't install the trailer hitch, because they broke a hole tap off in one of the mounting holes, this is not my fault, they will not correct my recall, and they will not even call me back, they tell me there is nothing they can do. So they are not going to honor the recall on my car, as far as they are concerned, I can just go ahead and burn up in my car, if I get rear ended,

The window actuator came apart and wrapped around the door latch mechanism in the back where my toddler sets, we were unable to open the door. My husband had to take the door panel apart from the inside and cut the wire in order for the door to be opened. All of my window actuators have stopped working and have had to be replaced.

I was driving up the street heard something like a ran over something then Jeep cut off got out to see if I ran over something but nothing was there and Jeep would not start back up, what if I had been on the highway or busy traffic I could have been seriously hurt, which U am blessed that did not happen, the problem I have is Chrysler should notake anything that could cause you bodily harm. A computer should never go out that is dangerous. I had to have the Jeep towed to my home and then to a ship on two different times an one time back home from the shop because I did not have $900 to repair. So I'm stuck without having my Jeep repaired because I'm on a fixed income. Also having electrical problem where Chrysler did poor wiring., cigarette lighter keep going out, blinker and radio wiring is terrible and one of the front lights. Chrysler you got to do a better job, because I loved my Jeep, but very disappointed because I can't afford to have it repair.

Window regulator has failed on front passenger window and many reports this is due to a cheap plastic assembly that supports the glass instead of metal.it is the manufactures fault as this fails for no reason.my window was tilted when I got in it this morning, no vandalism, nor storms.it make a whirring noise when using the up button and went straight with the cable from the regulator snaking up the side of the door.it is up now but with all the info found feeling I should not pay for it and the issue just repeats itself after replacement because of inadequate equipment. Please help me and so many others having the same experience. I can see how this would be considered a dangerous on the highway. Please use the attached link to see many more reports of the same issue www.carcomplaints.com/Jeep/Liberty/2004/windows_windshield/windows_fail.shtml

The rear window on the driver's side dropped into the door today. I looked it up online and it appears to be related to the window regulator and it is a commonly reported problem. If it is so common, I have trouble believing that they wouldn't create a recall. I guess Jeep is waiting for a large number of injuries first.

The first time this happened, I was driving home from work, and the passenger side, front window fell into the door. At first, I did not know what had happened, I just heard a loud "bang" from the side of my car - I thought that something may have hit the car. Fortunately, I was only going about 35 mph when this occurred, and I was level headed enough to keep driving the car in my lane. This was on route 35 in eatontown, NJ, which is a busy highway during rush hour when this incident occurred. The 2nd time this happened, the rear passenger side window fell into the door. This was in June 2010, 47,000 miles. The third time this happened, the driver side front window fell into the door. This was February 14, 2011, 50,000 miles. Thank god I was not driving on the garden state parkway when these incidents occurred. I have receipts for the repairs. I just got off the phone with Chrysler, and they issued an extended warranty for the 2006 and 2007 models, but not for the 2004 Jeep Liberty models. The rear window passenger side has not fallen into the door yet. My grandson's car seat is next to that window. I know that it is unsafe, but I am losing my job this year because of fort monmouth closing. I am now seriously thinking about getting a new car when I find a new job. The component that fails is the window regulator. It holds the window in place, and when it fails, the window falls into the door.

I was driving up to kids school to park and parked and tried to take the seat belt off and it was stuck. The red release button was stuck down. I was able to get it released, but the red release button was still stuck down. I tried to re-buckle and nothing worked. I went to the dealership "napletons" and they said that the part was on national back order. I am still waiting.

Window regulator in three of the windows failed while driving. No way to put up the window while driving. No way to secure the vehicle when parked. No way to keep rain and snow from coming in the window until it was repaired. We replaced the window regulators with ones from a salvage yard. We kept old parts.

I have attempted 3 times to get my recall taken care of on my 2004 Jeep Liberty. Each time someone has assured me the part would be ordered and they would call me when it came in. I have not heard anything to date. This has occurred since prior to me receiving the first recall in the mail.

2004 Jeep Liberty safety recall. When the consumer presented the recall notice to the service department they were unaware of the recall and lacked any knowledge or equipment to make the necessary adjustment. The dealer retained the letter and advised the consumer to make an appointment for June 24, 2004. The consumer arrived on the appointment date. The recall stated that the repair would take 30 minutes to complete. An hour later the consumer asked if the vehicle was completed they said the vehicle was not completed and that they could not predict when it would be completed. The consumer took the vehicle from the dealer with the repairs having been completed. The consumer feels the repairs were not being made in a timely manner.
