I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF MY 08 LIBERTY. I HAVE BEEN USING THE DEALERSHIP FOR ALL MAINTENANCE. I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH MY SKYSLIDER ROOF IN THE PAST WHICH, AFTER 5 YEARS OF HAGGLING, HAS BEEN FIXED. THE PROBLEM I AM HAVEING NOW IS WITH A DYING BATTERY. REPLACED THE BATTERY ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE BATTERY WAS STILL GOOD. NEW BATTERY DOESN'T LAST OVERNIGHT. FOUND THAT THERE COULD BE 3 ISSUES CAUSING IT. RADIO, FUEL PUMP OR TIPM. CD PLAYER BEGAN TO CONSTANTLY EJECT A CD WHEN NO CD WAS PRESENT, SO I PULLED THE RADIO FUSE TO STOP THE DRAIN ON THE BATTERY. NO GOOD! NEXT DAY, DEAD BATTERY. LISTENED TO ANY SOUND THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS RUNNING WHILE ENGINE WAS OFF. DID NOT APPEAR TO BE RUNNING. CHECKED WITH THE JEEP FORUM, WOW WAS I SHOCKED! LIBERTYS HAVE NOTHING BUT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE TIPM. CHRYSLER/JEEP/FIAT HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT HAVE NOT DONE A RECALL, CAUSING ALL IT'S CUSTOMERS HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS T REPAIR A KNOWN ISSUE. CLASS ACTION SUIT ONLY PUSHED THEM TO REPAIR TIPM'S FROM 2010 AND UP VEHICLES LEAVING EVERYONE ELSE HIGH AND DRY. I NOW NEED TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY CABLE EVERY NIGHT SO THE CARE STARTS IN THE MORNING. DEALER WILL DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, AT COST AND THEN FIX THE PROBLEM, AT COST, PLUS LABOR. ALL ON A VEHICLE WITH 83,000 MILES. IN THE LAST YEAR, I HAVE REPLACED THE PCM, ECM, 4 O2 SENSORS AND CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. THANKS TO THE GOVERNMENTS EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY OF 8/80,000, THEY WERE COVERED. THE TIPM IS NOT! WHEN ISSUE IS CONFIRMED BY THE DEALER, I'LL BE CALLING DETRIOT!!!!!!!!

REAR CALIPER IS LOCKING UP CAUSING THE BURN TO THAT PAD AND THE ROTOR . VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION.

LAST FEBRUARY MY JEEP STARTED ACTING FUNNY. THE HORN, WIPERS, FLUID, RAIDO, SEAT, AND LIGHTS ALL WENT CRAZY WHILE DRIVING. THINKING THAT IT WAS A BATTERY OR SPARK PLUG ISSUE I REPLACED BOTH. NO LUCK. THE NEXT DAY I STATED MY CAR ABS THE HORN WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND HAD IT TOWED FOR DIAGNOSIS. TIPM GOOD I WAS TOLD. 2 DAYS LATER SAME THING. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO ANOTHER MECHANIC BUT THIS TIME ASKED TO SEE THE SCHEMATICS. THERE IS ONLY ONE COMMON COMPONENT THE TIPM. NO ENGINE ISSUES FOUND, TIPM TESTED FOR A WEEK, NO RESULTS. GOT MY CAR BACK AND ONE WEEK LATER RECORDED THE CAR DOING EXACTLY WHAT I HAD STATED. THIS SYSTEM ONLY HAS 1 CHECK WITH RESULTS EITHER GOOD OR BAD. I LOOKED UP RECALLS-NONE, CALLED JEEP AND COMPLAINED ABOUT HOW DANGEROUS THIS IS. I'M NOT INCREDIBLY TALL SO FOR MY SEAT TO MOVE ITSELF BACKWARDS WHILE DRIVING WAS SCAREY! I ENDED UP GOING TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP CONVINCED THIS WAS THE ISSUE AND HAD THE BOX REPLACED AND SYSTEM RESET. ONE YR LATER STILL NO ISSUES. I STILL HAVE THE VIDEOS AS PROOF OF THIS CLAIM. PLEASE REALIZE ALL TIMES THIS HAPPENED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE HORN GOING OFF, BATTERY DISCONNECTED, I WAS DRIVING ON THE HWY GOING INTO STREET TRAFFIC. ONLY ONCE WAS THE WEATHER INCREDIBLY BAD; RAINING TO THE POINT OF FLOODING. BECAUSE I LIVE IN UPSTATE NY THERE WAS ALSO SNOW AND ICE PRESENT. DUE TO MY VEHICLE ACTING UP, I CHOSE NOT TO TAKE MY NIECE'S OVER THE WEEKEND AS I TYPICALLY DID. BEING RESPONSIBLE I COULDN'T LET SOMETHING HAPPEN WITH A THEN 4 YEAR OLD IN MY CAR.
