Both rear passage windows fail to work at all we had to tape up the windows and the power make a grilling noise.
2006 Jeep Liberty transmission complaints
Page 3 of 4: complaints 41 to 70 of 76, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Key was stuck in ignition of 2006 jeep liberty limited edition. Also noticed the shifter was moving freely, without having to be pushed in like it typically would. Took to jeep dealership & was told that entire shifter column needed to be replaced because it is plastic & brakes easily - cost $200.00. Have heard that this is a common occurrence.
Vehicles stalls after extended off period. Vehicle shudders under normal driving conditions. Chrysler has 2 tsbs to fix this- 21-016-05 and 21-009-06 which calls for replacing a trouble prone torque converter. Chrysler has an updated torque converter to fix this problem yet will not take action to fix the vehicle even after numerous attempts since 2006 to get transmission fixed properly. I would like this looked into as myself and numerous other owners of the 2005-2006 jeep liberty with the diesel engine experience the same issue. The truck has stalled after starting on several occasions causing concern for action since I have had my pregnant wife witness this. Please look into this.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 jeep liberty sport. While driving 35 MPH, the vehicle lost power, the transmission light illuminated and the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer where the contact was informed that the torque converter was defective. A transmission specialist stated that the transmission fluid did not circulate through the seals. The vehicle had not been repaired. The contact called the manufacturer who offered no assistance. The current and failure mileages were approximately 86,000.
2006 jeep liberty will not shift out of park intermittently. After several attempts of applying service brake it comes out so far. Dealership wants $600 bucks to replace shift lever tower and shift cable. Others on line talk about same problem. Dealerships plead ignorance on the problem, but will gladly take $600 to replace the shift lever tower and !
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty 4x4. The vehicle was parked when it suddenly began to roll down the street, jump the curb and crashed into a tree. There were no injuries and no police report. The contact notified the insurance company but had not spoken with the manufacturer at the time of the complaint. The current and failure mileages were 76,250.
I have had my 2006 jeep liberty at the dealership 6 times in the 3 years I've owned it. I bought this car brand new and have had nothing but problems since. First the car would not come out of park, at the dealership they couldn't duplicate the problem and sent me on my way. After may months of this happening daily I had it towed on a flat bed to the dealership and they finally replaced a cable that connected the gear shift to brake after telling me I could just slam really hard on the brake and it would just disengage, I should just have done that instead of having it towed. (stupid me I guess) then I had the same ABS traction check engine light problems I've heard and read many complaints about, first time taking it in, the problems stopped and they sent me home. Second time, I drove it straight there and made them look at it and drive it, they had my car for four days and call me to tell me there was nothing they could do because the codes were stored and not active reset the computer and sent me on my way. Now yesterday a year later and at 48,000 miles the car started again. I made them hook it up while the car was still running and the lights still on. What they don't tell you is that shutting your car off "stores" the codes. With the car still on, the codes were active and they found the problem. The body control module. However now it is out of factory warranty and I had to fight with the gm to get it covered. They still wouldn't cover it under factory but did cover it under extended warranty and waived my deductible. However I am still very upset that this has not been recalled, this should not be at my expense at all!!! I will never buy another jeep ever!
The ignition key was stuck in the ignition and the brake park interlock mechanism was not working. I was able to move the shifter through it's entire range without pressing the lock button on the shifter knob. This is a safety hazard since without these safety mechanisms operating correctly the shifter can be accidentally knocked onto drive. The weak link is a plastic push rod in the shifter mechanism that is not strong enough for the job. Many chrysler shifters will fail in this manner.
While driving on the highway, the engine sputtered and died. The repair estimate indicated that a valve spring broke inside the #5 cylinder, caused by a jump in timing. This repair/problem is directly linked to a jeep/chrysler technical bulletin.
2006 jeep liberty limited with 2.7l cr diesel engine. Transmission "hunts" for a gear while driving 50-to-60 MPH, frequently up- and down-shifting. Problem is intermittent. Have reported problem to dealer but they find no problem.
Clutch safety switch on 2006 jeep liberty (3.7 l gas engine) failed after 40 k. Ironically, this requires replacement of the entire master cylinder (cost $375). Would ignore problem, but this also deactivates the cruise control. Silly design in that a simple switch failure requires hydraulic system work.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. While the vehicle was parked in the driveway in first gear, it rolled backwards. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, but they could not determine the cause of the failure. Recently, the vehicle was parked in first gear and with the emergency brake engaged. The vehicle rolled away again and crashed into a tree. The vehicle was still able to be driven and sustained moderate damages. The police was called to the scene and a report was filed. The vehicle will be taken to a collision center for repairs. The VIN and failure mileage were unknown. The current mileage was 24,010.
Numerous mechanical problems all dash lights come on at once between 15 - 50 MPH dealer replaced body control module lights still come on now has more problems after repair by dealer. Several recalls on this leased vehicle running up miles back 2 dealer rear window fall down repaired motor tried 2 quit 3 times could be dangerous in traffic seems it loses prime on fuel system . Also excessive tire wear on front tires had it aligned myself was out from factory 10 deg. I have no confidence in dealer 2 fix since I have more problems after last visit. Horn doesn't sound on key pad door lock and fog lights stay on at highbeam after electrical work. Vehicle has locked me out when I shut doors 4 no apparent reason switch keys in ignition and motor running.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. While turning the vehicle in any direction at low speeds, the vehicle would began to shake and the transmission would shift from first gear into neutral. The contact did not notice any differences in the vehicle prior to the failure. The vehicle has not been diagnosed by the dealer. The current mileage was 35,600 and failure mileage was 32,000.
My 21 year old daughter was driving my 2006 liberty on the northern parkway in westbury, ny on january 2, 2008. The car was purchased in july 2006 and has approximately 15,500 miles on it. Suddenly and without warning the wheels locked up ripping out the transfer case and dropping the drive shaft on the highway. The car behind her was damaged as it ran over the drive train components. The driver of the damaged car saw flames coming out from under the liberty and a cloud of black smoke. (probably from the gear oil). Fortunately the liberty veered into the breakdown lane and not into another travel. No one was injured. The liberty was towed to westbury jeep. Initially I met with the service manager and he indicated the repairs would be made under warranty. After 12 days he phone me and said ...either the car hit something or it was driven in 4wd low on the highway. Neither of these occurred and jeep does not acknowledge a problem with vehicle and will not cover the repairs under warranty. I phoned chrysler and they won?t even send a rep to look at the vehicle. Chrysler contacted the dealer and repeated what the dealer said. The chrysler service rep would not provide another contact saying she was trained to handle these situations. She also said there are no tsbs or recalls for my liberty which apply. I am frustrated and stonewalled by both the westbury jeep and chrysler.
On the 27th. Of dec. 2007 I was traveling on i70e and as I was getting back on the hwy. From a rest stop just east of indianaplois, in. My 2006 jeep liberty crd had a failure in the transmission torque converter. I going about 60-65 MPH when all of a sudden there was a lot of shuddering coming from the transmission and then a loud klunk and it cause a sudden drop in my speed from 65 to 30 MPH. Luckily no one was injured or hurt, however as in the past when this happen, its without warning causing a temporary loss of control. The transmission shudder happened several more times while ii was traveling. My dealer has know about this problem for over a year, and I have reported it to his service department more than 4 times and the problem has yet to be fixed. Chrysler I believe knows that there is a problem with the jeep liberty crd's drive train but has yet to fix the problem. This will be my third complaint to the federal safety agency on this. The same problem happened again when I was returning home on the 3rd of jan. 2008. I will be seeing a rep on this coming monday and I do not expect to get any satisfaction from him on this safety matter. Also my rear brakes are groaning every time that I stop and the dealer has already did a tsb on them once and the problem has returned. They told me that after the car has more than 12,000 miles they will do nothing. The car has just 16,500.
I bought a 2006 jeep liberty4x4 3rd day it was towed back due to transmission problems. Now at 30,000 miles I'm having the same issues plus the gear keeps skipping. I brought it back 3 times now and because it doesn't make the cunking noise the few minutes they have it they say there's nothing wrong and the gears are supposed to skip. Hmmm new one on me. They also say there's no reports on the transmission problems hmm plenty here or am I seeing things. It printed them all out so I can go back and show them the complaints. Can't deny what's on black and white now can they?
The gearshift locks in park and cannot be moved. The problem occurs inconsistently, and although it has been brought to the dealer twice for this problem, they state that there is no identifiable problem with the system and no sure way to fix it.
2006 jeep liberty crd began stalling while on the interstate. Driving started out normal, then suddenly while at a steady 65 MPH the jeep began making a loud noise and not responding to acceleration. This went on and off intermittently for 5 miles to the next exit off the freeway, then it occurred intermittently on a highway then side streets until I made it home. From a dead stop it was extremely sluggish to get going at all. The symptoms point to torque converter issues, I had previously had the torque converter recall work done at the dealer in december 2006, apparently that didn't even last a year. It is unacceptable to stall on a freeway, let alone side roads. The dealer was unable to schedule a visit for well over a week, it goes in tomorrow.
Automatic transmission torque converter is going into partial lock-up. Manufacturer is aware of situation per kn 87887255, but there is no repair at this time. Hesitation, shudder, almost stalls. Been occurring since purchased new.
I own a 2006 jeep liberty. I have two issues. First one is the rear brakes. I replaced my brake pads at 34000 miles to find my rear outer brake calipers were not making contact with the rotor on either wheel. The svc mgr at grindstaff of elizabethton, tn told me my rotors were warped. There is no way this should happen at 34000 miles. I drive 95% four lane highway miles to work - no red lights at all. You can see by looking at the rotors the outer brake pads have never made contact with the rotors. When the other six pads were replaced the outer rear brake pads were not worn one bit and the outer brake contact surface of the rotor is not worn at all. The second issue is the brake actuator solenoid. My jeep will not come out of park when it gets extremely hot inside the vehicle without running the A/C about 10 mins. To cool the brake actuator assembly off a little. It sticks in park and will not come out. The same dealer told me they would not fix it because it's an intermittent problem even with it still under warranty (reported at 33000 miles). The service mgr at grindstaff in elizabethton, tn said they would not replace the defective parts because it was only an intermittent problem. I am very dissatisfied with the reliability of this vehicle. Both problems I have are safety issues, factory design issues and dealer warranty compliance.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. Three weeks after purchasing the vehicle, the transmission began locking and caused the vehicle to grind when driving between 30 and 55 MPH. The contact stated that the transmission skips at speeds from 0 to 70 MPH. The transfer drives failed in the middle of an intersection and the vehicle had to be towed. In april of 2007, new hardware was installed on the vehicle. The vehicle has had four tort converters and a rebuilt transmission installed, yet the failure persists. The engine size was unknown. The current mileage is 25,600 and failure mileage was 999.
After purchasing my diesel jeep I noticed a shuddering in the transmission at about 55-65 miles an hour. Considerably worse with you decelerate after acceleration. In a construction hold on traffic my vehicle idled for about 10 minutes. When I was cleared to move forward I put the gear selector in drive. The jeep stalled. It took me a several attempts to restart the motor. I have done extensive research and have come up with one answer. Air is in the fuel. I have taken it to a jeep dealer in ozark alabama and in dothan alabama. Chrysler tells them that the air in my fuel system is ok. I demand to know what is a safe level of air allowed in the fuel system. No one has measured the amount of air in the fuel system. Please tell me so I can have it measured because I have volumes. I am afraid it will stall out on me again. I have had a few close calls when the jeep hesitated and choked after a long light and a train crossing,
I am the owner of a 2006 jeep liberty. Approximately 3 weeks after I purchased the new vehicle the transmission failed while I was driving on the highway. At that time the vehicle was towed to the service department where the transmission problem was said to be repaired. Since that failure the vehicle was not running properly: the automatic transmission did not seem to be shifting smoothly. For the next 8 months I tried to have the service department repair the problem but they did not, the told me the "problem" was normal. In january 2007, I noticed the problem with the transmission was getting worse. I had to press the accelerator more than normal to get the car to shift after making a stop. The car would then jerk into gear while my foot was on the accelerator and I would speed up more than was safe. The final incident was when I was accelerating to get on the highway after a stop and the car jerked into gear along with making a clunking sound. Because I was trying to accelerate, when the car jerked into gear I was sent off the side of the road. Thank goodness there was no traffic or I would have been in a serious accident. I drove to the nearest service department where the problem was quickly diagnosed as a torque converter problem. The vehicle was in for repairs for 22 days before I got it back. Parts were replaced in the transmission but only after approval from the manufacturer. The vehicle is running a little better but it is still not running like it was when I first bought the vehicle. This problem can be deadly and I no longer feel safe driving the vehicle.
I own a 2006 jeep liberty crd (diesel) I have had problems with my jeep driving safe now since I bought this truck in jan 2006. My truck will shutter and almost stall on a daily basis in heavy traffic. And back in may 2006 my whole truck stopped dead on a local highway and went into a "limp" mode bringing me from a 45 MPH speed to about 2-3 MPH in a second. I have researched this and have found that the issue seems to be in a faulty torque converter in the transmission. I have meet several other people on the internet and in person that have all had the same issues. I have told my dealer about this with 0 outcome of a fix, there is a service bulletin for the transmission, but this has not helped either. I only hope that the issue does not happen while im on the interstate with my wife, with the sudden speed loss and lock up of my rear wheels I could only hope the cars behind me could stop in time, could a large semi though? There are many people with this issue and only doing a short internet search will prove this. Just search for liberty crd lost torque converter and see what you find. I hope that jeep will have a better solution soon for this.
Vehicle bucking when attempting to maintain speed manually (w/out cruise control).
When driving at speeds greater than 40 MPH, car jerks and bucks, like it's unable to shift into next gear. This happens randomly, but at least once a day. This vehicle is a 2006 jeep liberty diesel.
Transmission bucking at different speeds while maintaining speed on the highway, or going from coasting at speed to accelerating. This a daily/continual occurrence. '06 jeep liberty crd.
On sep. The 23rd I was on i70e just out of effingham il. When my jeep liberty crd had a problem. There was a loud noise or thud then all of a sudden my speed went from about 65 MPH down to 45 to 50 almost instantly. The white van that was behind me just tapped my rear bumper with no damage. The driver of the van went on around me as I went off of the hyw. To the side of the road. This problem cleared up in about 1 min. And the car the went on as it was ok. Please reference odi number 10167608. This incident is the same as that report. Also coming back to florissant on the 30th of sept 2006 the exact same thing happened. However my car was the only car in sight at the time. I have had three events with this type of failure and one of them resulted in the vehicle behind me just touching my car. The dealer here in florissant, mo. (marty cancilla dodge. Has yet to figure out the problem. The chrysler district rep is going to be here on this thursdays to talk to me. As far as I am concerned this is a very dangerous problem, especially when traveling on the interstate a 60 to 70 MPH. My jeep liberty has been in the dealers shop since tuesday of last week. I do hope they will fix this problem. I know form the jeep internet forum that this is a real problem with other liberty owners with the diesel crd. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
I have a problem with my 2005 jeep liberty diesel failing to stop at the first stop sign in the morning. It has also not stopped after being parked for a few hours. The engine continues to push the vehicle forward into traffic or the intersection/cross walk. I have taken the vehicle to jeep but they cannot duplicate the problem. I have come very close to running over students on the campus of the university of alabama. I believe this problem is associated with jeep's torque converter problems. My wife has also experienced this problem so it has nothing to do with driving style. This problem will eventually kill or injure someone.
