While driving along the interstate at 65mph the passenger side back window made a pop sound and fell into the door, making a loud bang. Amazed the window did not break. This is the second time a window has failed in this vehicle. The driver's side was replaced two years ago and the passenger side front sounds like it is about to go at any time. It is making whining noises when activated and moves very slow.

Vehicle was making a whining noise when turning. I had the car checked and the power steering fluid was low. It was discovered that this car is leaking power steering fluid onto the rack and pinion. Along with this, the airbag light is coming on. I believe that this may be related to the latest recall concerning the heat shield. Jeep refuses to add my car to the recall list and I am sure this is directly related.

I am experiencing torque converter shudder at between 45 and 50 MPH at 1500rpm or lower. I first reported this defect when the vehicle had about 800 miles on it. The vehicle feels like it's driving over rain grooves or rumble strips when I'm experiencing the problem. The issue is 100% reproducible. The dealership has insisted that this is a condition that affects all jeep liberties called "exhaust drone." during one of my many service visits for one of my many other service issues, I had a rental 2012 jeep liberty that did not have this problem. Jeep customer care has been unsuccessful in even contacting the service manager at the dealership where I bought the vehicle because he does not return their calls. I am concerned that the torque converter will fail during regular use and leave me either stranded or cause an accident. Also, the vehicle intermittently shifts very rough, and on several occasions when I am starting the vehicle it surges forward or backward suddenly even when applying very little pressure to the gas pedal, and this is accompanied by a very loud knocking sound. Sometimes the vehicle makes noises between 15 and 25 MPH, which I can only describe as a loud high pitched whining or warbling sort of noise (like a loose flywheel).

Vehicle started making crunching noises when going over bumps (dips, speed bumps/humps, railroad tracks) issue wasn't constant, tended to happen in the early mornings or late nights when the weather was colder. Took the vehicle to a couple of mechanics with no findings. Over time (02/01/2011) the vehicle started making a 'whining' noise when I make sharp right hand turns, again not every sharp right hand turn recreates the noise. I suspected power steering and or bushings could be an issue. Today, 04/19/2011, vehicle is in shop for new tires and an oil change and an investigation into my complaints/suspicions. It's been discovered that there is a leak in my power steering pressure line and issues with my rack and pinion. On a side note, it's also time to replace my struts and shocks, however this is not part of the issue I've been experiencing, according to the mechanic. It was also brought to my attention that rack and pinion issues as well as power steering pressure line leakage issues are very common with this year/make/model. Funnily enough, after lots of research and many phone calls to several other mechanics, the ps pressure line issue can be fixed but will most likely reoccur due to the hose not being able to handle the constant working pressure of 3000 psi. It seems I will now be looking for another part for my jeep that is being fabricated by an innovative individual that can do the job that jeep can't seem to figure out. (your window regulators need to be re-engineered as well)

What a joke, I traded in my foreign car (which with 150,000 miles, I dumped probably a $1000 in total for repairs) for an american vehicle. My back window fell down and looking at a $500 bill to repair it, I took silicone window sealer and sealed the window shut. Needless to say, my next vehicle will be one that has a 100,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty like my last one did. I can't believe with all of the reports of window failures the manufacturer will not stand by their vehicle. They continually manufacture vehicles with obvious defects, but with 32,000 miles on the vehicle hit you up for $500 a "repair" bill. This is not a repair, it is extortion to fix something that was and continues to be a defect in workmanship and materials, as well as poor design. It irks me when american car makers whine and get bail-out money because their product is defective and "not the same workmanship" as a foreign vehicle.
