MY CAR IS POSSESSED THE HORN GOES OFF, THE LOCK CONTINUOUSLY LOCK AND UNLOCK, THE WIPERS WON'T STOP, AND THE HORN BEEPS! IT HAPPENS VERY SPARATICLY IT HASN'T HAPPENED IN MONTHS THEN IT STATRED UP AGAIN TODAY! THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE ISN'T A RECALL THIS IS REDUCULOUS! IT WON'T STOP WHEN I DRIVE AND IT WON'T STOP UNLESS IT SITS FOR A WHILE OR I DISCONNECT THE BATTERY!

THE AC SWITCH IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND I WAS ADVISED THAT YOUR COMPANY HAD A RECALL TO HAVE THE COMPUTER UPDATED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY SKY SLIDER FOLDED BACK OFF THE TRACK MAKING A HORRIFIC SOUND. THE POWER BUTTON USED TO OPEN AND CLOSE THE SKY SLIDER DOES NOT WORK. IT JUST MAKES A GRINDING NOISE. WE HAD TO MANUALLY PUSH THE SKY SLIDER DOWN. THERE IS ALSO A LEAKING ISSUE WHEN THERE IS RAIN. WATER POURS INTO THE VEHICLE FROM AROUND THE FRONT INTERIOR LIGHTS ON THE ROOF BETWEEN THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT. THERE IS ALSO WATER MARKS FROM THE SKY SLIDER LEAKING. I ALSO HAVE A SENSOR THAT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY. THE SENSOR IS FOR LOW TIRE PRESSURE.

SKYSLIDER TOP -WELL MAINTAINED. CLOSED TOP WHILE PARKED IN DRIVEWAY AND TOP CAME OFF TRACK OR CABLE SNAPPED. FORCED CLOSED NOW BUT LIFTS WHEN DRIVING OVER 40MPH. THIS IS SECOND TIME HAPPENING. I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON THIS IS HAPPENING TO AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO OWN UP TO THEIR DESIGN FAILURE BEFORE TRYING TO "IMPROVE" IT AND ADD TO OTHER VEHICLES. THE SKYSLIDER TOP WAS THE MAIN SELLING FEATURE OF THE NEW JEEP LIBERTYS.

DRIVING ON NJ TURNPIKE HORN STARTS BLARING, WIPERS START GOING AND THE WIPER FLUID IS SPRAYING NON STOP! HAD TO PULL OVER UNTIL IT STOPPED NO THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NORTHTOWN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE FIAT (2020 NIAGARA FALL BLVD, TONAWANDA, NY 14150 (716) 923-2105) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT BOTH REAR LOWER CONTROL ARMS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

THE ROCKER ARM OF MY JEEP BECAME ATTACHED FROM THE ENGINE BECAUSE THERE IS A FLAW ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE OF THE ENGINE. THE WAY THE CAM TURNS MAKES IT A VERY REAL POSSIBILITY THAT THE ROCKER ARMS ON THAT SIDE CAN DETACH. APPARENTLY THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND VERY WELL KNOWN AMONG MECHANICS FOR THE COMPANY AS WELL AS THIRD-PARTY MECHANICS, BUT THE COMPANY THEMSELVES CLAIMED THEY'VE NEVER HEARD ANY ISSUES ON THE MATTER. I ACTUALLY HAVE HAD A FRIEND HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH HER VEHICLE A COUPLE YEARS BACK, AND SHE WROTE AND THEY STONEWALLED HER AS WELL. I REALLY THINK THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE EXAMINED MORE SERIOUSLY. THERE'S TONS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE WRITTEN ONLINE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE.

A PIECE FELL FROM UNDER THE SEAT WHICH MAKES THE SEAT FEEL LOOSE. THE SIDE CONTROL PANEL FOR MOVING THE SEAT BACK AND FORTH DOES NOT GIVE FULL CONTROL OF ADJUSTING THE SEAT. THE KEY LESS REMOTE WILL NOT LOCK AND UNLOCK MY DOORS. I HAVE TO USE MANUAL LOCKS. I TOOK IT TO BE LOOKED AT, I WAS ADVISED GROUND WIRES WERE CROSSING AND BLOWING OUT A FUSE/RELAY. THE MOPHAR SKYLINER SUNROOF IS OFF TRACK. THERE IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT IN THE SUNROOF. CHRYSLER HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL YET SEVERAL JEEPS ARE HAVING AND HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. IT IS $300 FOR A NEW ROOF WHICH WILL BREAK/GO OFF TRACK WITHIN 2 YEARS. OR $6000 TO REPAIR THE ROOF I HAVE WHICH STILL DOES NOT GUARANTEE IT WILL BREAK/GO OFF TRACK AGAIN. THE ROOF OPENS ON IT'S OWN WHILE I AM DRIVING CAUSING EXPOSURE TO OUTSIDE WEATHER. I HAVE READ FROM OTHER CUSTOMERS THAT THE ROOF HAS FLOWN OFF WHILE DRIVING WHICH CAN CAUSE INJURIES TO THE PASSENGERS IN VEHICLE AND/OR DRIVING AROUND THE VEHICLE. *JS
