Hmm, I love my Liberty except.... The dealership now confirms the seat stainng problem and the vehicle jumping or pulsing or whatever you want to call it, when at a stop...... Anyone had any success with the seats? I bought an 06 with warranty left. Love the color, miss the fact that there were no floormats and now that I know of these two problems, I wonder what else is there? Oh and already had to have the back window put back on the track. ugggh.

We take it on the same roads as we did the Jeep Liberty's and get much better mpg and we are not jerked arround as we were in the Jeep's. We don'tforge rivers, or climb huge steep hills, so the Pacifica works for us much better. farout |

Replying to: jeeplover7 (Dec 19, 2007 2:31 pm) On another note - what is that Technical Service Bulletin number for cleaning the seats? The dealer doused my seats in water and then used a towel to absorb some of the water. He claimed it was soap residue that was causing the dis-coloration. Again, unless we group together on this, Daimler/Chrysler will stone wall us. How about starting a blog for collecting names. This website is OK, but it's not enough to create momentum on this effort.

I am going to call the dealership and see what they say, but I know my husband wont let them try to tell him how to clean them or what may have caused the damage. He wont take a bad answer. He also wants to ask why they know the vehicle jumps or pulses when you come to a stop and why the windows go off track. My back window already did, and I never ever use it. It is pitiful that so many of us have problems. I wonder if we started a blog or yahoo or MSN group, would we get lots and lots of folks to join in and file complaints? Maybe we would? |

My seats are covered with black fabric, the same style used by BMW 30 years ago. They suffer from no stain nor wear but don't look fancy at all. I just have to brush the dust off to make them look new! .

Replying to: caribou1 (Dec 27, 2007 12:58 pm) My Jeep dealership told my husband there is something wrong with the RAIN where we live. And all the stories on the Internet dont matter one bit. If anyone did receive an official statement on this from Jeep, I would like to know how to get a hold of one. I also may consider bailing this vehicle before everything falls apart and looks horrible.

Replying to: emmab (Dec 27, 2007 5:49 pm) It says the problem is caused by residue puddling when it gets wet. The fix is to douse the seat with warm water and dish detergent, scrub up a foam, wipe off the foam with a cold-water sponge, re-wipe with a sponge, and then wet vac. Allow to dry. No allowance to replace the seat covers fabric. I'll try this as a next step, but it is not a valid fix. How many times will I need to clean the seats this way? The only true fix is to replace the fabric. If anyone will start a class-action suit, I'll go along with it. |

I dont see how that suggestion could fix the problem. I sure would like a copy of that statement to wave in their face, since they told me it was the actual Rain that was the culprit. Like I said, we own a carpet cleaning company with very powerful truck mount equipment. We use straight steam and non toxic chemical emulisfiers. This did not work on the spots. You can still see them. It helped a tad, but not much. And we would be charging a minimum of $70 per visit to clean them. Thanks for the update though, and providing another look at the whole mess.....
