The rear window latch does not work. It will not open to latch the window closed with the back door. The window then opens when driving. I have a bungee cord holding my window closed. So anyone can enter my vehicle and it moves when I stop or go. I am ot able to use my back door due to having to redo it everytime. My driverside door also does not lock or unlock all the doors when I press the lock or unlock button. I have to open my door and shut off jeep and try numerous times for ot to work.

What 2005 Jeep Liberty owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
My heated seat was on low and it has been getting extremely hot lately, well today it caught on fire. And about a month ago my ball joints all went out while driving.
Purchased a 2005 jeep liberty in the state of wisconsin, a state that has excessive cold and icy weather, streets are heavily salted. The jeep I purchased has had several recalls, major was the rear end control arm, which the dealership repaired. 2005 jeep liberty also has major electrical problems which causes the engine cooling fan to short out. Having it to be frequently replaced once a year. 2nd major problem is the front right control arm assembly front upper left and right. Along with wheel hub assembly, both corrodes and can cause the steering to brake into, resulting in a lost of steering causing a major accident while driving. These major mechanical problems needs should be recalled, so they can be replaced or repaired. I've taken the jeep to different repairs shop and was told the jeeps are known for safety issues including electrical and control arm problems and to check for recalls.
Rear power windows just fell to the bottom and they won't go up anymore
Heater blower resistor keeps burning out. Replaced multiple times. Please issue recall!!!
All the lights stay on and wont go out the window will not go down or up
The steering got hard and felt like the ball joint on the control arms lock up ; the door locks cycle continuously and now driver door, left rear passenger door and back tailgate will not open, horn will not blow, radio will not work, and interior lights won't work. The steering problems happen while driving on highways and when making turns of any kind the slightest movement of the steering wheel will car is moving makes erratic navigation in anything other than a straight path. The door locks cycle on and off while driving and also not moving and without the car being started and is as rest without key inserted in the ignition cylinder. I am fearful for my grand children to ride in the car with me and very concerned of a failure that may jeopardize their safety.
Ignition switch not turning when attempting to crank vehicle. I had recently drove my vehicle. Prior to the incident my ignition switch made a louder noise when I attempted to turn over the vehicle. Now it's not working at all.
While driving down the read all the lights inside and out blink on and off. Then the speedometer quit and wont work now
Tried to start my jeep with putting car keys in the ignition, nothing happened, so since I have remote car keys I tried them on the outside of the street and car did start. So now I dont know what to do cause now I need to use my remote car keys. It also makes some noises when you back up the car.
