THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER THE CONTACT DISCONNECTED AND RECONNECTED THE BATTERY CABLE. ON ONE OTHER OCCASION, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS INDEPENDENTLY POWERED OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE HEADLIGHTS ILLUMINATED AGAIN WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE FOBIK AND THE HORN CONSISTENTLY SOUNDED AND THE HEADLIGHTS FLASHED. THE CONTACT DETACHED AND REATTACHED THE BATTERY CABLE AND THE LIGHTS POWERED OFF AND THE HORN NO LONGER SOUNDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

ALMOST 8 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING MY VEHICLE THE SUNROOF AND BACK WINDSHIELD STARTED LEAKING WATER WHEN EVER IT RAINED.I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND PAID TO HAVE IT REPAIRED HOWEVER IT LEAKED AGAIN PLUS NOW THE WATER HAS STAINED THE MATERIAL. PLUS THE ELECTRIC HAS SHORTED OUT AND THIS WAS REPAIRED. A THIRD TIME OF THE WATER LEAKING AND REPLACING THE SEALS HAS NOT HELPED. WHEN THE WEATHER IS BAD WE CAN NOT DRIVE THE CAR DUE TO WATER LEAKING ON TO PASSENGERS PLUS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR FEAR OF BREAKING DOWN WITH ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THIS IS THE THIRD JEEP THAT WE HAVE OWNED .

I HAD LEFT MY CONVERTIBLE ROOF CRACKED OPEN AS IT WAS HOT WHEN I WENT TO THE GROCERY STORE. APPROXIMATELY 6-8 INCHES OPEN. I BEGAN DRIVING HOME AND WAS TRAVELLING AT 45 MPH WHEN I HEARD THE ROOF FLIP OPEN AND WAS FLAPPING IN THE AIR. I QUICKLY REDUCED MY SPEED AND WAS ABLE TO REACH UP AND GRAB THE ROOF TO PULL IT BACK DOWN. I HELD THE ROOF DOWN BY HAND FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DRIVE HOME UNTIL I COULD INSPECT THE EQUIPMENT. UPON CLOSER INSPECTION, THE TRACK SLIDER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS BROKEN AND DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE MOTOR WHEN OPENING OR CLOSING THE SKYSLIDER CONVERTIBLE ROOF. ALSO BOTH PINS HOLDING IN THE ROOF TO THE TRACK SLIDERS HAD POPPED OUT OF THEIR MOUNTING BRACKETS. HAD I BEEN DRIVING FASTER THAN 45 MPH I'M SURE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE DAMAGE AS I HAVE READ SIMILAR COMPLAINTS HERE STATING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND AN EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE REPAIR, BETWEEN $2,500 AND $3,500. WHAT IF THE ROOF WERE TO FLY OFF COMPLETELY AND HARM MY CHILD IN THE BACKSEAT, OR ANOTHER PERSON DRIVING NEAR ME ON THE ROAD AT THE SAME TIME?

WAS INFORMED BY MY DEALERSHIP THAT THE CROSSMEMBER THAT GOES BETWEEN THE FRAME AND HOLDS THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION IN PLACE WAS RUSTED OUT AND NEEDED REPLACING. WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE PART ON 2007 JEEP PATRIOTS, BUT NOT ON 2008 AND I'D HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. WAS TOLD NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL REPAIRED AS IT WAS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE!!. WHAT CHOICE DID I HAVE? I PAID. . . THROUGH THE NOSE FOR SOMETHING THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED HAD I BOUGHT A 2007 MODEL. I WAS GIVEN THIS WEBSITE TO MAKE A COMPLAINT. ADDITIONALLY, HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE DOOR LOCKS NOT WORKING (POP UP ON THEIR OWN WHILE DRIVING OR PARKED) AND AUTOMATIC WINDOWS NOT ALWAYS WORKING (HAD TO HAVE HAVE SOME "CYLINDER" FOR THE ELECTRONICS IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR REPLACED.) THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT STILL SHOWS 'ON' BECAUSE A PART THAT'S ON "BACKORDER" IN THE BACK BY WHERE THE GAS IS FILLED IS RUSTED AND NEEDS REPLACING.

ELECTRICAL PROBLEM- DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 20 MPH AND HORN STARTS GOING OFF, WINDSHIELD WIPERS ( FRONT AND BACK ) STARING MOVING, INTERIOR LIGHTS AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS START FLICKERING. SHUT CAR OFF AND IT DOESN'T STOP UNTIL YOU PULL THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL. NOTHING WORKS DURING THIS OUTBURST NO KEYLESS ENTRY NO POWER WINDOWS. CAR KINDA SITS THERE CONFULSING.

09/5/2010 AFTER MY PURCHASE OF MY JEEP I TOOK IT TO BRANDON COURTESY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP , I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH MY JEEP SINCE THEN THEY DAMAGED MY JEEP AND REFUSED TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF ALL THEY HAD DONE. I KEEP TELLING MANAGEMENT OF THE ISSUES NO REAL RESPONSE DO TO MY SPINAL CORD INJURY NO OTHER CHOICE IN DEALERSHIP MANTINANCE. 08/2014 LAST YR I WAS ON I75 GOING ABOUT 70 WHEN MY SLIDER ROOF FLOW OPEN TAKING PARTS WITH IT.I PAID THEM OVER 100.$ PLUS THEY CHANGED MY INSURANCE OVER $2000. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK OVER TEN TIMES IT STILL LEAKING. AND STAINED FROM THE LEAKS. THEY NO LONGER REUNION MY CALLS. PLUS THEY DID NOT REPLACE THE SLIDDER ROOF AS CHARGED BUT REPAIRED.MY BATTERIES DON'T LAST. SINCE MY FIRST VISIT WITH BRANDON COURTESY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP DEALERSHIP I HAD TOLD THEM OF THE EXSSIVE WIND NOISE. THE LIST GOES ON I HAVE COPIES OF ALL SAID AND DID REPAIRS THAT DON'T MATCH THE REPRINTS I REQUESTED. PLEASE HELP

I PURCHASED MY JEEP FROM A PRIVATE OWNER BACK IN 10/2013. I THOUGHT I WROTE A COMPLAINT OUT BUT I CAN NOT FIND IT HERE. I HAVE A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY WITH A ROLL BACK TOP. WHILE DRIVING WITH MY GRANDSON THE TOP BLEW BACK AND BROKE THE CLIP BROKE WHEN IT FLEW BACK.. TO FIX, IT WILL COST 2,000.00 TO 2,500 DOLLARS . IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND CHRYSLER WOULD NOT HELP ME IN ANY WAY I CALLED CHRYSLER DIRECT AND A LOCAL DEALER. I DID NOT THINK IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO BEING THAT I DO NOT BELIEVE A ROOF SHE BE ABLE TO BLOW OFF YOUR VEHICLE. I COULD HAVE BEEN ON A HIGHWAY DRIVING 50 OR 60 MILES PER HOUR AND THAT ROOF COULD HAVE BLOWN TOTALLY OFF MY JEEP AND REALLY CAUSED A PROBLEM. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.AS FAR AS LOOK AT IT THIS IT IS A HUGE DEFECT. . I HAVE DRIVEN MANY CONVERTIBLE CARS AND NEVER HAD THE ROOF BLOW BACK. PLUS THE NOISE FACTOR IS JUST AWFUL. YOU CANNOT EVEN HEAR SOMEONE SPEAK WITH THE TOP CLOSED. THE WIND IS JUST AWFUL THERE DESIGN ON THIS ROOF IS DANGEROUS AND JUST PLAIN AWFUL!!

INOPERATIVE SPEED CONTROL AND SUDDEN LOSS OF INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTS/SPEEDOMETER AT HIGH SPEED. CODE READ OUT PERFORMED. INDICATED WHEEL SENSOR NOT COMMUNICATING WITH CONTROL MODULE. HAD IT REPLACED TWICE. PROBLEM IS NOT WITH THE SENSOR. THE CONTROL MODULE FOR PANEL DISPLAYS SHUTS DOWN. ALLL WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH DISPLAY COME ON INDICATING ABS DISABLED, BRAKE/ENGINE FAILURE. ALSO,SPEED CRUISE CONTROL LOST PLUS SPEEDOMETER DROPS/ FREEZES AT ZERO
