2008 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

WHEN USING MY REMOTE TO UNLOCK MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY, THE HORN STARTS HONKING, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS (FRONT AND BACK) TURN ON, THE WINDSHIELD WASHERS (FRONT AND BACK) SHOOT FLUID, THE DOOR LOCKS WON'T OPEN AND THE HEADLIGHTS TURN ON AND OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS. THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE ALSO STARTED TURNING OFF WHILE DRIVING AND I'M UNABLE TO TURN THEM BACK ON. *TR

WHEN I FILL UP MY GAS TANK, THERE IS ALWAYS A MODERATE AMOUNT OF GAS THAT COMES OUT AND GOES DOWN THE SIDE OF MY CAR. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT MULTIPLE DIFFERENT STATIONS WITH ALL OCTANE LEVELS OF GAS. IT EJECTS ABOUT .1-.2 GALLONS OF GAS FROM THE FUEL ENTRANCE. THIS OCCURS RIGHT BEFORE THE AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF CLOSES ON THE FUEL PUMP. *TR

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT NOTICE AND WILL NOT START RIGHT AWAY LEAVE SET FOR A 1/2 HOUR OR SO AND IT STARTS BACK UP BUT HORN BLOWS WIPERS COME ON AND DOORS WILL NOT UNLOCK AUTOMATICALLY THIS COULD BE A REAL PROBLEM IF IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO SHUTTING OFF ON THE FREEWAY AND I CAN NOT EXIT THE VEHICLE.I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM IS IN THE (TIPM) AND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS BUT THERE IS NO RECALL. THIS IN MY OPINION IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

THE CAR DECIDES WHEN IT WANTS TO START. IT JUST MAKES A CLUNKING NOISE, AFTER ABOUT 8 TRIES IT WILL START. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY, STARTER AND WIRING HARNESS. THE DOORS JUST STARTED TO NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK A FEW MONTHS BACK. THEY TOLD ME TO CHANGE THE TIPM. I HAVE PUT IN WELL OVER $1000.00 AN NOW THEY WANT ANOTHER $500.00. *TR

1 YEAR OLD BATTERY DIED, BOUGHT A NEW ONE EVERYTHING WORKED FINE FOR A MONTH, THEN MY EVAP SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED, BOUGHT NEW ONE HAD SYSTEM PRESSURIZED. OK EVERYTHING IS FINE FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS, LIGHTS FLICKER A LITTLE HERE AND THERE, CAR DOESN'T TURN OVER IMMEDIATELY, CD PLAYER SHUTS DOWN ON IT'S OWN, LOST POSITRAC IN THE REAR, HEATER NOT WARM UNLESS OVER 2000 RPM, CAR STILL RUNS THOUGH. SO BATTERY DIES JUST UNDER 3 YERAS LATER (STILL UNDER WARRANTY) ODD.REPLACED FREE YAY, ONLY FREE THING IN THIS WHOLE ENDEAVOR. AFTER REPLACING BATTERY CLOCKSPRING GOES OUT, DAMMITT!!! REPLACED, NOT A WEEK LATER LOCK FUSES KEEP BLOWING. FOUND OUT ALTERNATOR HAS A BUILT IN RELAY THAT IF IT GOES WREAKS ABSOLUTE HORROR ON COMPUTOR, AND ENTIRE ELEC. SYSTEM, IT EVEN CONTROLS THE LIGHT ON YOUR DASHBOARD INDICATING THAT IT HAS GONE OUT,BRILLIANT. HAD I KNOWN THIS IT COULD'VE SAVED MANY HOURS AND CLOSE TO $1,500. THIS SHOULD BE FIXED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE WAS SWAYING BACK AND FORTH AND THEN THE TPMS WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED. UPON MERGING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE RIGHT REAR TIRE WENT FLAT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE VALVE CORE FRACTURED CAUSING A BLOW OUT OF THE BACK OF THE TIRE. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC REPLACED THE VALVE STEMS ON ALL FOUR TIRES. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

I HAVE 2 PROBLEMS NUMBER1 IS THE GAS MILEAGE IT GETS THE MILEAGE IT SAYS ON THE INTERNET BUT I FEEL THAT IS BAD FUEL MILEAGE I HAD A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH A V8 AND GOT 25 MILES PER GALLON ON THE HIGH WAY YOU WOULD THINK THAT A V6 WOULD JUST AS GOOD OR BETTER BUT IT IS NOT .SECOND PROBLEM IS FUEL SPILLAGE EVRYTIME YOU FILL UP I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT THINGS TO TRY AND STOP THE SPILLAGE BUT TO NO AVAIL. I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM BUT THERE IS NO RECALLS FOR A 2008 JEEP THEY HAD RECALLS ON SOME OLDER JEEPS BUT NOT MINE IT WOULD BE NICE TO SEE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THANKS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

SKY SLIDER RETRACTABLE ROOF HAS EXCESSIVE NOISE AND WILL NOT SEAT CORRECT. FEAR OF IF COMING OFF WHILE IN MOTION. *JS

SOMETIMES THE STARTER WILL CRANK THE ENGINE BUT WILL NOT START, USING THE REMOTE START OR THE KEY. ALSO THE SECURITY ALARM WILL GO OFF WHILE TRYING TO USE THE REMOTE START FROM TIME TO TIME. OTHER LIBERTIES WITH THIS AND OTHER SIMILAR "COMMON" PROBLEMS ARE COVERD BY SERVICE BULLETINS BUT NOT OURS. *JS

WHILE PUMPING GAS, THE PUMPED CLICKED (STOPPED) AND GAS SPEWED OUT THE TANK ON VEHICLE, MY HANDS, PANTS AND SHOES. THIS HAPPENED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. TODAY, 1-31-2015, GASCAP, INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. I TIGHTEN CAP HOWEVER, INDICATOR LIGHT STILL ON. PURCHASED A NEW GAS CAP BUT THE NEW CAP DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. *TR
