2008 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

STARTED CAR, STOPPED AT LIGHT, MADE A TURN. HORN STARTED BLARING, FRONT AND REAR WIPERS WENT ON WITH SPRAY IN REAR, DASHBOARD LIGHTS WENT CRAZY. PULLED INTO "GREASE MONKEY" PUT IT IN PARK, WOULDN'T TURN OFF, TOOK OUT KEY, STILL RUNNING. GREASE MONKEY EMPLOYEE REMOVED FUSE TO STOP HORN, BUT EVERYTHING ELSE WAS STILL GOING, EVEN AFTER DISCONNECTING BATTERY. AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES (WHILE WAITING FOR AAA), ENGINE STARTING SMOKING. NOT SURE WHAT HE DID, BUT EMPLOYEE FINALLY GOT IT TO TURN OFF. THERE WAS ALSO SOMETHING DRIPPING UNDER THE CAR. AAA TOWED IT TO THE CLOSEST AAA-APPROVED MECHANIC. DIAGNOSIS: TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED TO THE TUNE O $1400.00. I FEEL THIS DEFINITELY CREATED AN UNSAFE CONDITION, ESPECIALLY IF IT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE I WOULD NOT HAVE HAD IMMEDIATE HELP. WHO KNOWS WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED -- AN ACCIDENT, A FIRE?? SINCE IT IS A HOLIDAY WEEKEND AND THE PART HAD TO BE ORDERED, MY CAR WON'T BE WORKED ON UNTIL TUESDAY, 9/6; THEREFORE, I DO NOT HAVE AN INVOICE YET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE SUN ROOF WAS STUCK OPEN AND THE SWITCH FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SKY SLIDER ROOF WAS FRACTURED AND THE ELECTRONIC MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

RETRACTABLE ROOF BROKE WHILE DRIVING AND ALMOST FLEW OFF INTO TRAFFIC. LUCKILY THERE WAS A PASSENGER WHO WAS ABLE TO GRAP IT BEFORE IT FLEW OFF INTO TRAFFIC. A VERY BAD SAFETY ISSUE, COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. TO HAVE IT REPAIRED IT IS $600. WE DID NOT HAVE IT REPAIRED. THEY WERE ABLE TO CLOSE THE ROOF AND DISCONNECT IT. I CALLED JEEP AND THEY WERE NOT VERY NICE AND ARE NOT WILLING TO HELP PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. IF YOU LOOK IT UP ON THE INTERNET MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. WHY WASN'T IT RECALLED.

AIR BAG SENSOR HARNESS UNDER SEAT IS EXPOSED AND PRONE TO BREAK WHEN REAR SEATED PASSENGER(S) ARE IN VEHICLE. I HAVE REPLACED THE WIRING CONNECTORS/WIRING HARNESS 3 TIMES. ONE ON DRIVERS SIDE AND TWICE ON PASSENGER SIDE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE ROAD WHILE MOVING. IF CRUISE CONTROL IS ON IT WILL STOP FUNCTIONING UNTIL THE CAR HAS BEEN SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED.

SEVERE RUSTING OF ALL SUSPENSION COMPONENTS. RF AND LF CV JOINTS RUSTED BEYOND REPAIR. FRONT BRAKE ROTORS BEYOND REPAIR. JEEP DEALERS SAID VEHICLE HAS SEVERE RUSTING AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE. WAS TOLD MAY NOT BE WORTH REPAIRING. MOST JEEP LIBERTIES ARE COVERED UNDER A RECALL EXCEPT 2008. DEALER SAID REPAIRS WOULD BE IN THE THOUSANDS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT LOCKING RECEPTACLE WOULD NOT ATTACH AND LOCK TO THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000.

FIRST OFF, THIS ISSUE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! IT'S ALREADY BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND ALL THEY WANT TO DO IS BEAT AROUND THE BUSH AND WILL NOT REPLACE THE TIPM! THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS TO NOT HAVE A DEVICE TO PROPERLY TEST THE TIPM, AND SAYS ITS OTHER PARTS CAUSING THE ISSUE. MY JEEP'S LIGHTS WON'T WORK CORRECTLY, MY HORN CONSTANTLY BLARES, I'VE SPENT ALMOST A HUNDRED DOLLARS ON WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID BECAUSE THOSE CONSTANTLY SPRAY, AND IT'S BEGINNING TO RUIN PARTS INSIDE OF MY VEHICLE! TODAY THE FUZE BOX WAS SO HOT IT COULD HAVE BEEN ON FIRE! WHY IS THIS NOT RECALLED?! SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE, AND THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO REPLACE THE PART IN FEAR OF HAVING THE RECORD OF IT BEING REPLACED! WE HAVE SPOKE TO COOPERATE AS WELL AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE. ALL IT TAKES IS THE TIPM FREAKING OUT CAUSING A FIRE, OR HEADLIGHTS TO FAIL AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT OR DEATH. THIS NEEDS TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY! I LOVE MY JEEP TO DEATH, BUT TO TAKE MY JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP TO "FIX" THIS ISSUE, SPEND OVER 600 DOLLARS TO REPLACE A MELTED CORD AND A BURNED OUT FAN MOTOR FOR AC/HEAT THAT COULD BE CAUSING THESE ISSUES IS A FREAKING JOKE, WHEN THE FAULTY TIPM CAUSED THE WIRE TO MELT!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RETRACTABLE ROOF DETACHED AND LEFT A SEPARATION BETWEEN THE ROOF AND THE VEHICLE WHEN ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ROOF NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON JUNE 30, 2016; THE JEEP GOES INTO PANIC MODE, LIGHTS FLASHING, WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORKING, DOOR LOCKS LOCKING AND UNLOCKING, AND HORN SOUNDING AUTOMATICALLY. VEHICLE IS NOT DISARMING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME SINCE FEB 2015. PROBLEM WAS TOLD TO BE CAR BATTERY. BATTERY REPLACED. REMOTE BATTERY WORKS FINE, THIS IS DANGEROUS AND THE PROBLEM KEEPS GETTING REPORTED WITH NO ACTION TAKEN BY JEEP-CHRYSLER FOR RECALL.

AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS FLASHING WHILE DRIVING. JEEP SHAKES AS IF UNSTABLE OR STRUTS THE SUSPENSION AND MY VISIBILITY DUE TO THE DEFROSTER AND WIPERS DON'T WORK PROPERLY.
