2008 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

THREE YEARS AGO, I HAD THE SKY SLIDER ON THE JEEP REPLACED COMPLETELY. ON TUESDAY, JUNE 14, 2016, I OPENED THE SLIDER UP AND IT WOULD NOT CLOSE. I TOOK IT TO BACK TO THE BUSINESS THAT REPLACED THE SKY SLIDER IN 2013, PAYMER & PHILLIPS, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE REPLACED SEVERAL 2008 JEEP LIBERTY SKY SLIDERS. THEY SHOWED ME THE PLASTIC PIECE WHICH WAS BROKEN WHICH IS THE REASON WHY THE SKY SLIDER WHICH IS A CONVERTIBLE TOP, WOULD NOT CLOSE. THE FIRST TIME, THE REPAIRS COST $3362.81. TODAY I WAS TOLD THE REPAIR COST WOULD BE $2768. IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT I CONTACT CHRYSLER AND REPORT THIS INCIDENT AND ASK THEM TO ABSORB THE COST. I HAVE YET TO HEAR FROM A CASE MANAGER AS OF TODAY.

I OWN A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY AND EVERY TIME I FILL IT THE FUEL COMES BA K AT ME NOT JUST A LITTLE EITHER IT GEISERS OUT OF THE TANK AND HAVE GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE I HAVE TO STAND UP WIND NOT TO BE SHOWERED IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE I BOUGHT IT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. EACH TIME IT RAINED, THE SUN ROOF WOULD LEAK WATER INTO THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED THREE TIMES FOR THE SAME FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON ONLINE FORUMS ON THE JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED EDITION WITH THE SKY SLIDER. BASICALLY, THERE ARE REPORTS ON THE SKY SLIDER COMING OFF THE TRACK AND FLYING OFF OF THE VEHICLE. MY SKY SLIDER PERSONALLY WILL NOT CLOSE BECAUSE OF A "SYSTEM FAULT" JEEP TELLS ME AND ONLY SOME JEEP DEALERSHIPS HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE ON HOW TO FIX A SKY SLIDER. THEY WANT TO CHARGE $3K TO FIX THE ROOF, BUT THEY ARE ACKNOWLEDGING THAT IT IS A CONSISTENT ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE, THAT THE SKY SLIDER WILL NOT CLOSE ALL THE WAY, WHICH RESULTS IN IT COMING OFF AT HIGH SPEEDS.

THE SKYSLIDER ROOF FAILS TO CLOSE. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR SINCE BUYING IT NEW IN 2008. THE SKYSLIDER WAS REPLACED IN JUNE OF 2013 AFTER FAILING TO CLOSE AND MAKING DRIVING UNSAFE DUE TO THE FLAPPING OF THE CLOTH ROOF AT 45 MPH OR HIGHER. ROOF HAS BROKEN AGAIN AS OF MAY 2016 WITH THE SAME ISSUE AFTER ONLY BEING OPENED 5 TIMES. THIS TYPE OF ROOF IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. AT ANY TIME THE CABLES OR PLASTIC FRAME CAN SNAP CAUSING THE ROOF TO PEEL BACK. I WAS AFRAID THE ROOF WAS GOING TO COMPLETELY DIS-ATTACH AND HIT THE CAR BEHIND ME.

I WAS ON MY WAY BACK TO WORK DURING MY LUNCH HOUR DRIVING ON ALEXANDER ST. IN CORPUS CHRISTI TEXAS. THAT STREET HAS SEVERAL DIPS. AS I DROVE OVER ONE OF THE DIPS THE JEEP SUDDENLY ACCELERATED IN SUCH A SPEED THAT I WAS UNABLE TO STOP IT AND IT HIT A PARKED CAR. MY CAR WAS APPROXIMATELY 10 FEET FROM THE PARKED CAR WHICH MADE IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THE ACCIDENT WAS A RESULT OF "SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION" THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO EXPLAIN THIS UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT. WITH ALL THE DIPS ON THAT STREET IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SPEED, ADDITIONALLY IT IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF A SCHOOL WHICH HAS A SPEED LIMIT OF NO MORE THAN 15 MPH. IF THIS HAD OCCURRED IN A DIFFERENT AREA THIS COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC, FATALLY INJURING MYSELF AND FAMILY OR ANOTHER HUMAN BEING. CURRENTLY THE CAR IS AT THIS LOCATION: HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLES/VEHICLEDETAILS.ASPX?ITEMID=21976104 THIS WILL ALLOW YOU TO VIEW ALL PICTURES AND PERHAPS IT CAN BE INSPECTED THOROUGHLY. MAKE A NOTE OF THE ODOMETER, IT READS "ERROR"!. ...UPDATED 06/22/16 * BF

IT STARTED WITH MY POWER DOOR LOCKS 2 YEARS AGO. THEY QUIT WORKING BUT THE POWER WINDOWS WORKED FINE. WHEN YOU TRIED TO CHANGE THE FUSE IT WOULD POP AND BURN OUT RIGHT AWAY. WE ASSUMED IT WAS A SHORT SOMEWHERE. THEN MY REAR OUTLET QUIT WORKING, MY WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID STOPPED WORKING, AIR BAG LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF AMONG OTHER ISSUES. NOW NOTHING WORKS. THE BATTERY WAS DISCONNECTED SO WE COULD TRY TO RESET THE SYSTEMS AND NOW THE HORN SIRENS CONTINUOUSLY, LIGHT FLASH, WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND FLUID ARE FLYING, DOOR LOCKS THAT WOULD NOT WORK ARE MOVING UP AND DOWN. IT LOOKS LIKE MY JEEP LIBERTY IS POSSESSED! WHY IS THIS NOT RECALLED???? THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE READ THAT IT MAY START WORKING AGAIN BUT IT WILL MALFUNCTION... YOU JUST DON'T KNOW WHEN.
