2008 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

SKY ROOF WAS REPLACED BECAUSE IT FELL OFF TRACK. IT IS NOW STARTING TO DO IT AGAIN AND DEALER IS REFUSING TO REPLACE IT UNDER A WARRANTY. SEALS ARE NOT TIGHT AND ALLOW AIR THROUGH TO THE TRACK. IT THEN STARTS TO LIFT AND FOLD WHEN GOING OVER 40 MPH. I AM AFRAID IT IS GOING TO FLY OFF THE TRACK COMPLETELY WHILE MOVING. THE CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN ALREADY TOLD ME THAT THE SKY ROOFS BREAK EASILY AND THAT IS WHY THEY DON'T MAKE THEM ANY MORE. THEY SHOULD ALL BE RECALLED IF ARE CONTINUING TO HAVE PROBLEMS AND THEY ARE NOT GOING TO REPLACE THEM.

I WAS DRIVING ON A MAIN HIGHWAY AND ALL LIGHTS STARTED TO FLASH. ALL NEEDLES STARTED TO JUMP AROUND AND THEN EVERYTHING WENT BLACK AND CAR DIED INCLUDING NO FLASHERS. BATTERY WAS REPLACED A MONTH BEFORE WITH YEARLY INSPECTION THE MONTH BEFORE AS WELL.

SKY SLIDER ROOF POURS WATER INTO DASH AND STEERING COMPONENT. POWER STEERING HAS BE DISABLED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE. WHEN WATER POURS IN IT SATURATES BOTH DRIVER AND DASHBOARD AREA RUNNING DOWN STEERING COLUMN INTO THE COMPONENTS. IN ADDITION, THE LIFT OF THE ROOF CAUSES VEHICLE TO SWERVE WHEN DRIVING ON INTERSTATE. NOISE CREATED BY THIS DEFECT PREVENTS DRIVER FROM HEARING EMERGENCY VEHICLES.

MY TIPM WENT OUT ON MY 2008 LIBERTY, A FEW WEEKS AGO, WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURNED ON BY THEMSELVES, HORN BLOWING BY ITS SELF, THE JEEP DOESN'T TURN OFF EVEN WHEN THE KEY ISN'T IN THE IGNITION, ALSO THE HAZARD LIGHTS TURN ON BY THEMSELVES. IT GOTTEN TO THE POINT THAT THE JEEP STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION THAT COST A LOT TO FIX AND IT ISN'T COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE RECALLED 2008 -2012 JEEP LIBERTIES ALSO.

WHILE DRIVING ON X WAY AT 70 MPH HEARD NOISE AND SAW SECTION OF ROOF SLIDER LIFTING UP AND AIR GUSHING. SLOWED TO PULL OFF AND WHOLE PANEL LIFTED UP AND ALMOST BLEW OFF. STOPPED AND PANEL CRASHED DOWN WITH FRONT CORNER COMING INTO PASSENGER SIDE SEAT. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS IN THE SEAT! WE TAPED THE PANEL DOWN TO NURSE IT HOME ON SIDE STREET AT UNDER 40 MPH. DEALER SAID WOULD COST MORE THAN $1000 TO FIX, PROBABLY MORE AND REPAIR WOULD NOT BE GUARANTEED. WE CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX. WE NEVER USED THE SLIDER IN THE PAST. INQUIRIES ON INTERNET REVEAL MANY SIMILAR INCIDENTS BY OTHER OWNERS AND THEIR ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR WITH ESTIMATES OVER $3000. DEFINITELY A SERIOUS ISSUE. COULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF CAR IF NOT ALREADY STOPPING, PANEL COULD HAVE SEPARATED AND HIT OTHER CARS, PANEL COMING INTO CAR COULD HAVE INJURED DRIVER OR PASSENGER!

ON 11/22/2017 I PARKED 5 SPACES FROM THE FRONT DOOR OF MEIJER ON E.MICHIGAN AVE IN JACKSON, MI. AS MY ESA ANIMAL REMAINED IN THE VEHICLE I LEFT THE CAR RUNNING AND HEAT ON LOW. I WAS IN THE STORE ABOUT 3 MINUTES. BY THE TIME I RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE I WAS INFORMED BY A BYSTANDER MY VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE AND HELP WAS ON THE WAY. I ASKED ABOUT MY DOG AND WAS TOLD NO ONE HAD SEEN HIM. I FRANTICALLY SEARCHED THE CAR FOR (NAGINI) MY DOG CAUSING 3RD DEGREE BURNS ON MY HANDS.I WAS ABLE TO RETRIEVE HIM FROM THE JEEP. HE WAS UNCONSCIOUS AND UNRESPONSIVE. I BEGAN CPR AND HE WAS RESUSCITATED. BUT SADLY NAGINI DIED FROM HIS INJURIES 2 DAYS LATER.

MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY 'SKY SLIDER' ROOF HAS FLOWN OFF THE TRACK WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY (WHILE MY CHILDREN WERE IN THE CAR!!) AND NOW DOES NOT SECURELY STAY CLOSED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.

ON MY JEEP LIBERTY KK I HAVE THE POWER SKYSLIDER. IT CONSTANTLY COMES OFF TRACK AND DOESN'T CLOSE SO WHEN I GET IN THE CAR AFTER IT RAINS EVERYTHING IS WET. IT HAS COME TO THAT IM AFRAID THAT WHEN I'M DRIVING AT HIGH WAY SPEEDS THAT THE ROOF WITH FLY OFF AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I DIDN'T DO ANTTHING TO CAUSE THIS ISSUE. IT IS A DESIGN FLAW BY JEEP AND I WANT THEM TO OWN UP TO IT AND PUT OUT A RECALL BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE AND IMPRACTICAL TO USE THE CAR AFTER IT RAINS.
