2008 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

RECALLED 16229 JEEPS FOR FAULTY EQUIPMENT. FOR SOME REASON MY JEEP HAD SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT COVERED?? SAME BAD PARTS USED BUT NOT COVERED!!! SAME SAFETY ISSUE BUT NOT COVERED???

CAR HORN GOES OFF, LOCKS CONTINOUSLY LOCK AND UNLOCK, WINDSHIELD WIPERS GO OFF, WIPER FLUID SPRAYS OUT, LIGHTS BLINK OFF AND ON. ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO UNHOOK THE BATTERY. TO GET THIS TO COMPLETELY STOP IS TO DO A HARD RESET OF THE FUSE BOX AND HOPE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES STARTING IN 2015. NEVER KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS UNTIL I GOOGLED THIS. I PURCHASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW, IT DID HAPPEN AFTER THE FIRST 2 YEARS WHILE DRIVING BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A FLUKE UNTIL IT STARTED HAPPENING MORE AND MORE THEN NEVER STOPPED ON IT'S OWN. CAN'T BELIEVE THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING AT 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED RAPIDLY WITHOUT WARNING. MONROEVILLE CHRYSLER JEEP IN MONROEVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR SERVICE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

OUR 2008 JEEP LIBERTY HAS A DEFECTIVE SKY SLIDER ROOF. DESPITE BEING PROPERLY MAINTAINED, IT HAS JUMPED THE TRACKS AND HAD TO BE FORCED CLOSED. WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY IF IT DOES NOT REMAIN CLOSED WHILE DRIVING. WE HAVE CONTACTED JEEP WHO REFUSES TO HELP. AFTER READING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE, WE ARE QUESTIONING WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL AS THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND CAN LEAVE OWNERS UNABLE TO USE THEIR VEHICLES.

WE WERE LEAVING FOR A TRIP AND GOT ABOUT 200 FEET FROM OUR FRONT DOOR AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED GOING ON THEIR OWN, THERE WAS WINDSHIELD FLUID COMING OUT AND THE HORN WAS HONKING. THE CAR WAS RUNNING BUT WE WERE AT A STOP. WE SHUT THE CAR OFF AND STARTED IT BACK UP AND IT STOPPED. WE STARTED OUR TRIP AND REALIZED THAT THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET NO LONGER WOULD STAY ON AND THE DOORS WOULD NOT OPERATE WITH THE REMOTE. WE STOPPED AT AN AUTO PARTS STORE TO USE THEIR CODE CHECKER AND WE GOT A READ ERROR AND THE CAR NEVER STARTED AGAIN. WE WERE 70 MILES FROM HOME, COST US $300 TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED. WE HAD THE TIPM REPLACED FOR A MERE $840, THE DOORS STILL DO NOT OPERATE WITH THE REMOTE AND IT IS BACK IN THE SHOP. VERY FRUSTRATED AT THIS POINT.

IT STARTS BUT DOESN'T CRANK, WARNING LIGHTS AND CODES FLASH, ABS SHUTS DOWN WHEN STOPPING AT A STOP LIGHT,LOSE OF POWER WHILE DRIVING, SKIPPING STATIONARY AND IN MOTIONEAS AND BAS PLUS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, I HAVE TO SHUT OFF ALL ELECTRICAL BUTTONS FOR CAR TO START, OVER HEATS ONLY WHEN IDLE, REPLACED ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY AND STILL AND STARTS AND WON'T CRANK,

BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN VA ON 2/19/18, DRIVING HOME TO ME AND AFTER 50 MILES IN RAIN THE HORN STARTED GOING OFF EVERY TIME THE WIPERS MOVED. PUSHED THE HORN BUTTON AND THE WASHER FLUID STARTED SQUIRTING OUT. WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND HAD TO SHUT THE JEEP OFF THEN WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE. STOPPED IN CT FOR GAS AND GOT BACK ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE ALL LIGHTS TURNED OFF ON THE OUTSIDE BUT ALL THE DASH WARNING LIGHTS TURNED ON, WIPERS TURNED ON, HORN TURNED ON, WASHER FLUID SPRAYER WENT CONTINUOUSLY AND THE MOTOR WOULD STOP AND START ON ITS OWN, WHILE MOVING! LUCKILY, MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE IGNITION OFF BUT ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS CONTINUED TO GO OFF RANDOMLY THEN THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART. AFTER TURNING THE KEY ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES, MOVING THE SHIFTING LEVER, PULLING FUSES FROM THE PANEL UNDER THE HOOD AND PUTTING THEM BACK IN IT STARTED RUNNING AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED A SECOND TIME ABOUT 100 MILES LATER. WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR BACK TO ME BUT AFTER I SHUT THE JEEP OFF AND STARTED IT BACK UP THE HORN AND WIPERS STARTED GOING OFF WITHOUT ANY SWITCHES BEING TOUCHED. LOOKED THIS ISSUE UP ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR JEEP/DODGE/CHRYSLER VEHICLES MADE IN AND AROUND THIS TIME. HAD A RECALL BEEN DONE I WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS WAS A POSSIBLE ISSUE AND BEEN ABLE TO MAKE A BETTER CHOICE OF A CAR TO BUY FOR MY DAUGHTER. THERE WAS A REAL DANGER OF GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT WHEN ALL OF THE LIGHTS WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN ON A BUSY INTERSTATE AND THEN THE MOTOR TURNING OFF AND ON WHILE IN TRAFFIC.

IN A RAIN WHEN THERE WAS SOME WIND, THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER FLOORS COLLECTED 3+ INCHES OF WATER. IT WAS PARKED. THE DRAINS ARE NEAR WIRES, WHICH IS UNSAFE. THIS WAS THE LIMITED VERSION..... SO FAR I FOUND THAT CHRYLSER IS FIXING 07-08 WRANGLERS WITH THIS PROBLEM.

I LOST CONTROL OF THE JEEP YESTERDAY HIT TWO TREES HEAD ON THE CURTAIN AIRBAGS ABOVE THE WINDOWS ALL THE WAY DOWN THE SIDES DEPLOYED BUT THE MAIN STEERING AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY NOR DID THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IN THE DASH I WAS ON A BACK ROAD

WHEN FUELING THE GAS SPITS BACK ONTO THE CAR AND ATTENDANT ON FILL-UPS SINCE I LIVE IN NJ WE DON'T PUMP ARE OWN GAS SO MY ATTENTION WAS ON THE ATTENDANT. THE ATTENDANT EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THIS HAPPENS TO A LOT OF THE JEEP PRODUCTS AND AFTER RESEARCHING IT DOES SEEM LIKE A CHRONIC PROBLEM THAT SOMEHOW DOESN'T MEET THE SAFETY LEVEL FOR THE NHTSB TO ISSUE THE PROPER RECALL? I'M DUMBFOUNDED
