This vehicle was purchased new and has less than 140,000 miles. #1-it has corrosion on the outer body panels that is starting to go into the frame. The corrosion has caused numerous cuts, scrapes and damaged clothing as you get in and out of the vehicle. #2- I started smelling antifreeze but you couldn't see any leaks unless it was parked downhill so I took it to the shop for diagnosis. After several test they found it to be the head gasket. #3- I also have issues with the drivers side seat belt staying latched. You can be driving along and it will just release and it takes awhile to get it to latch back. #4-it wouldn't let me select the option to talk about the window regulators that just all of a sudden decide to work by themselves. I've had several people discuss these issues with me and I'd not seen any issues until lately, regardless of how significant anyone thinks these issues are I've worked in the auto industry long enough to know that the maker should stand behind their product regardless of the significance or age of vehicle.

Suspension issue. It appears that the front end to be coming loose. Lots of noise such as grinding,etc. I stopped at garage and had them out it on a lift for inspection. The determination was that the front, left and right, upper and lower ball joints are defective. Upon inspection by the mechanic, and by me visually, it appears to be premature wear. Mechanic suspects a product defect, as do I. I checked the federal safety agency official site for recalls. Multiple recalls for this suspension issue. Seat belt driver's side latching mechanism between the seat and console sticks intermittently. Sometimes it takes multiple efforts to disconnect the seal belt so that driver may exit the vehicle. Dealer claims there are no recalls on this item and no warranty. Current mileage on vehicle is 74,400 miles. Electrical power window assemblies. All four assemblies have been replaced. During the first year of ownership (bought new in 2005) both left and right front window assemblies were replaced under warranty, since then all four assemblies (front driver and passenger sides, and rear driver side and passenger side have been replaced at the expense of the owner. This is a multiple occurring problem and in my estimation seems to be a product design and manufacturing problem.

Seat belt complaint after arriving for an appointment, I was unable to exit my 2005 jeep liberty renegade because the driver's seat belt latch would not release. It took several minutes to get it to do so. Later, when we were shopping, my husband could not get the latch to engage as we attempted to leave. The red push portion of the release latch would not function. The red push portion of the latch was depressed, and it would not disengage for several minutes. We were stuck in the parking lot while we struggled with this issue. Either way, this is a dangerous issue. In an emergency, will I become trapped and unable to escape? To be safe, we must be restrained, but it appears this seat belt is not doing its job. My husband took our 2005 jeep liberty renegade to the dealership, and they merely told him these things wear out. Really? My 19-year-old honda's seat belts are still just fine! Things like this should never "wear out" on a vehicle. Huge safety issue! To make matters worse, the part will take at least 10 days to arrive, and we will be charged to replace it. This seems very wrong!
