2008 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

TWO CLAIMS FILED PER THIS COMPLAINT. 1) SKY SLIDER LEAK; FAILURE - OVERHAUL/REPLACEMENT REQUIRED DUE TO TRACK/CABLE FAILURE. WAS LEAKING INTO VEHICLE, AS WELL AS LEAKING INTO DOME LIGHT. INSPECTED PER JEEP AUTHORIZED DEALER, CONFIRMED SKY SLIDER NO LONGER PROPERLY SEALING AND HAS FAILED, REQUIRING TOTAL SYSTEM OVERHAUL AND REPLACEMENT. REFERENCING VARIOUS NHTSA DOCUMENTED CLAIMS, IT ALREADY A KNOWN ISSUE AND IN NEED OF RESOLUTION.. I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING ALL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH REPAIR, WHICH WAS OVER $4000.00 TOTAL. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE HAS SUFFERED A SUBSTANTIAL DROP IN OVERALL RESALE VALUE DUE TO VEHICLES REPUTATION FOR HAVING COSTLY DEFECTS AND OVERLOOKED FOR RECALL AND WARRANTY. DEALER PERFORMED REPAIR AT MY EXPENSE, BUT I AM CURRENTLY REQUESTING THAT THIS CLAIM IS PROPERLY REVIEWED FOR A PROPER, MORE COST-EFFECTIVE SOLUTION TO DEFECTIVE UNIT. 2) VEHICLE SUFFERS FROM TEMPORARY ROUGH IDLE AND SIGNIFICANT DROPS IN RPM'S, NEARLY STALLING ITSELF OUT. ALSO BEGINS SUFFERING FROM INTERMITTENT LOSS OF VEHICLE AND DEVICE RELATED FUNCTIONS SUCH AS LOSS OF HORN FUNCTION, INTERMITTENT OR PARTIAL LIGHTS FUNCTION OR WINDOW OPERATION. ON 2 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHILE OPERATING UNDER THE ERRATIC CONDITIONS, THE REAR WINDOW HATCH UNLOCKED ITSELF AS THOUGH THE BUTTON WAS HIT ON MFR. KEY FOB. THESE ISSUE OCCURS RANDOMLY AND TYPICALLY LAST NO MORE THAN 5 MINUTES BEFORE NORMAL OPERATION RETURNS. DUE TO LACK OF INFORMATION ON THE CAUSE OF THIS ISSUE, WHAT COMPONENTS ARE EFFECTED AND WHAT THE SPECIFIC DEFECT IS CAPABLE OF PERFORMING, IT IS SOMETHING NEEDING TO BE LOOKED INTO FOR PROPER RESOLUTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN INTO A PARKING LOT, THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED ARM INJURIES THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BUTTON THAT OPERATES THE SKY SLIDER ROOF MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE WHEN DEPRESSED. THE ROOF BEGAN TO OPEN AND THEN STOPPED. THE ROOF FAILED TO OPEN ANY FURTHER OR CLOSE FROM THAT POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 70MPH WHEN THE AC COMPRESSOR SEIZED AND BLEW THE BEARINGS OUT. OIL GOT ON BELT WHICH CAUSED IT TO SLIP ON POWER STEERING PULLEY WHICH SLIGHTLY INCREASED STEERING EFFORT. AC COMPRESSOR IS USED TO OPERATE DEFOGGER. SINCE AC COMPRESSOR IS BROKEN, DEFOGGER WILL NOT WORK AND VISIBILITY MAY NOT MEET FEDERAL STANDARDS DEPENDING ON WEATHER.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 78,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

DRIVING AT 40 WHEN THE HORN, WIPERS, AND LIGHTS START GOING CRAZY. HAD TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE CAR TO GET IT TO STOP. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY DIAGNOSED THE TPIM TO BE FAULTY AND IT WOULD COST 1200 TO FIX. COME TO FIND OUT THE TPIM HAS BEEN RECALLED BY CHRYSLE BUT NOT FOR THE 2008 MODELS.

SUNROOF LEAKING BADLY NOTICED A SMALL AMOUNT EARLIER BUT LATELY HAS GOTTEN WORSE. HEADLINER IS STAINED FROM THE LEAK. DRIVERS FLOORBOARD IS WEY FROM LEAK.

I STARTED MY JEEP LIBERTY AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED GOING WHEN THE SWITCH WAS IN THE OFF POSITION. I TURNED ON MY HEADLIGHTS AND THEY STOPPED. WHEN I GOT HOME I TOOK DISCONNECTED THE NEG WIRE ON THE BATTERY TO RESET THE COMPUTER IN JEEP AND I HOOKED IT BACK UP AFTER 20 MINS AND WHERE THE MILEAGE IS SHOWN IT SAID ERROR.

WHEN DRIVERS DOOR WAS OPENED, VEHICLE HORN, WIPERS BOTH FRONT AND REAR ALL BEGAN TO OPERATE AND I WAS UNABLE TO START AND MAINTAIN THE ENGINE RUNNING, IT WAS NECESSARY TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TERMINAL IN ORDER TO STOP EVERYTHING. A MONTH LATER, I WAS IN TOWN AND IT DID THE SAME THING. IN APRIL WHILE COMING TO A STOP SIGN THE VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING AND THE HORN, WIPERS AND LIGHTS ALL BEGAN OPERATING. I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT STOPPED. THE BATTERY HAD TO BE DISCONNECTED IN ORDER TO GET THE VEHICLE TO RUN. THE NEXT AFTERNOON, IT DID IT AGAIN HOWEVER DISCONNECTING AND RECONNECTING THE BATTERY DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I HAD TO LEAVE THE BATTERY DISCONNECTED ALL NIGHT IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO RESET.
