I know I am about a year late with this forum but I am so glad I found it. For the longest time I thought I was just one of the unlucky ones. I have a 2005 Liberty and within the first month of purchasing it, rain stained the seats and they have progressively incorporated stains that are beyond help...all due to WATER! WATER? It is such a buzz kill to even wash and wax my little cutie because the interior always looks horrible. Forget the scotchguard crap...why in the world should anyone have to spend one red cent on a factory default that clearly is a nationwide problem? For almost 4 years I have battled these stupid stains, only to be disappointed. Has anyone gone to corporate with this problem yet? Whomever suggested a class action suit...I'm in, if I'm not too late. We all deserve some sort of recourse here...this is bloody ridiculous. What about the value we are losing once we decide to sell or trade it in? How do you explain those gross stains? It's almost a deal breaker...I know I'd be wondering what the heck was going on in that vehicle if I saw nasty stains like that. I am not trying to reduce our gender ladies, but it seems most Libertys are owned by females...do you think this issue would go unresolved if this were occuring to men? Honestly?

I guess you have not read all the other posting. This is my 3rd Jeep with cloth seats and this did not with other 2; and I have owned many other cars with cloth seats that did not have this problem. Again, anything liquid including WATER stains the seats.

Thank you all!!! I thought that I was the only one with this water staining problem. I also have never had this issue with any vehicle myself or my husband has owned. I have also had the drivers side window worked on and now the passenger side seems to be going. The thing that scares me now ( I bought a 2007 jeep liberty limited) is that the local dealer that I got the jeep from is on the list of dealership closures !!!! GREAT!!! I always wanted a jeep and was a little tentative about buying one because I had owned a Chrysler once before and vowed I would never own one again. It is amazing how the corporate world can take a good product and turn it into a piece of CRAP! Oh yeah, another valuable lesson I learned was to never put chrome caps on the aluminum valve stems with the stupid tire pressure sensors...AGAIN, with bad advise from the dealership mechanic, it cost me over $250 to get them replaced because they siezed and a lot of aggravation. If there is ever a lawsuit...I'M IN !!!!!

The seats were so bothersome to us we sent many notes to the Chrysler Consumers web site we finally got some help. Chrysler saw we had our 2005 "Green Beast" with the CRD engine bought back. There were many other issues besides the seats. Jeeps as far as I am concerned are very costly to keep up. They ride hard, and get poor fuel mileage. I will never own a Jeep again! We bought a Chrysler Pacifica AWD Touring and we really like it and it goes everwhere we went with the Jeep. For us the AWD works very well and we live on gravel roads that has snow and ice in the winter and the PAC did super good.

I want to thank you for your tip about OXY CARPET AND INTERIOR CLEANER by ZIP. I had stains on my 2006 JEEP LIBERTY seats. I tried a couple of well known car cleaners which seemed to make the stains worse. I went to Home Depot and picked up the Zips Oxy Carpet Cleaner and gave it a try. This stuff is great. All stains are gone!!! Now, the seats are back to new condition and I put on seat covers to protect them. Thanks again for the great find! You saved my seats. I am now using these stuff on my home carpets and it works on difficult stains.
