Tl* the contact owns a 2006 Jeep Liberty. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 13V252000 (fuel system, gasoline, structure). The vehicle was taken to a dealer to have the recall repairs performed.

The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The failure mileage was 114,664.
On Wednesday, September 5, 2007, at approximately 8:30 pm both my husband and I got in our 2006 Jeep Liberty with only 9,188 miles to drive home. Upon turning on the vehicle we turned up the air conditioner and heard a grinding sound. Unsure of what the noise was, my husband turned down the air for a moment. As he turned the air back up the blower fan fell out of the dashboard and into the foot area of the passenger front seat where I was sitting. The blower fan was still turning as it made contact with my feet because it did not detach from the electrical wiring. The blower fan continued running until my husband shut off the vehicle. Due to the fact that I was wearing sandals when the blower fan fell out of the dashboard my toes were severely lacerated and suffered abrasions. These injuries required me to seek medical attention. …
2006 Jeep Liberty limited 4x4, all 4 of the windows have had regulator failure causing the windows to fall down into the door. These have all occurred at different times and even without anyone being in the vehicle. One of the recently replaced regulators that had already been repaired once have failed again while my wife was at work. She came out to leave work in the dark and as she went to drive off she noticed a window in the rear was down. She did not put it down it failed and fell on its own while inside of her place of employment again. This is a hazard that would have allowed someone to enter her vehicle and either steal from the vehicle or attack her. So all 4 power windows have failed and now they are starting to fail again. …
2006 Jeep Liberty. I have had the window regulator go out in my car currently 5 different times. I am also certain that my driver window is about to go out again as I have to help lead it when I push the up bottom. I try to use it as little as possible. When the regulators when out the first three times my car was still under warranty so I took it in for repair. Now that they have broken two more times, within two weeks, I feel that this is a real issue. What concerns me is the safety of my children who are in the back seat when these break and the glass falls into the door, what if it was to break, what if it was storming outside. It concerns me that one of them could be injured. …
Dealership stated there was nothing wrong with my front ABS brakes. Still after 14,746 miles give or take a few my brakes still have periodic pulsation. I should of wrote this complaint 14,746 miles ago my vehicle now has 49,175 I bought it 34,429 thank god for extended warranties because otherwise I would have no windows because after buying a $16,000 vehicle I could not afford to replace all the window regulators that broke oh and I had to have a fuel pump module replaced it did not fix the problem my main concern on this heap im mean Jeep are the breaks front and rear and that Chrysler Jeep will not be held accountable for these problems until a person has died. There are many other problems cosmetic problems like the interior and heater vents. But not life threatening. …
The windows in my 2006 Jeep Liberty keep falling down inside the door. I have had this happen to three of the four windows. One window I have had in the repair shop three times (dealership) to fix the same problem. The last time the problem was fixed, but now I can't open the door from the inside, which to me seems like a safety issue. My wife and I were driving back from a trip in the middle of a heavy rain storm when all of a sudden the window fell down inside the door. It started hailing which was a big safety issue for our children riding in the back seat. I am just thankful that what could have been a terrible accident did not happen. The dealership has told me that the problem occurs because of a bad motor inside the door panel. The cheapest I have found to fix this problem is $300 per window. This is ridiculous when the problem keeps occuring!
I have replaced all four window regulators during the past six months, and I'm starting to have problems with both front windows again, which were the most recently replaced at about two - three months ago (less than 50,000 miles) at the dealership. It seems the original window parts were defective, but the dealership's replacements (that I paid for) are much worse. I fear for the safety of myself, my passengers, my vehicle and my belongings with this ongoing issue. And I am angry about the time and expense it continues to cause. The form wouldn't let me complete with the correct required information, but limited my choices to those that did not apply.....fyi
I have a 2006 Jeep Liberty. The windows have broken three times. They fall into the door and cannot be raised. When this happens, the window is stuck in the full down position and is a great risk as objects can fly into the car...and great risks when parking overnight and the window not being able to be raised. This the third window broken, with one broken twice. The windows get fixed at a dealership at a cost of $100 per window and require me to miss a half to a full day of work depending on the service repair volume.
I have an 06 Jeep Liberty got in oct 06. In nov 06 jeeps driver side passenger door was jammed in would not open or close. Same time I took it in the window regulator broke.

On three separate occasions vehicle stalls upon engaging drive or reverse from park or neutral. The shift is made, the vehicle begins to move, then suddenly it stalls, the engine shuts off. Park or neutral must be quickly reselected to restart vehicle. Danger of being in an intersection when this happens it high. Dealer says it is a known issue, with no solution.
