2008 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

VEHICLE WILL LOOSE POWER WHILE AT HWY SPEED. AS IF SLAMMING ON BRAKES DASH LIGHTS LIGHT UP AS YOUR SEATBELT LOCKS AND YOU SLAM FORWARD. HEADLIGHTS WILL TURN OFF WHILE INSIDE DASH LIGHTS REMAIN ON. MUST USE BRIGHTS TO DRIVE OR PULL OVER. WINDOWS, SEATS MOVE THEMSELVES. WHILE VEHICLE IS OFF AND UNATTENDED. SOMETIMES WHILE PULLING IN A PARKING SPOT CAR LUNGES FORWARD. SOMETIMES WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT IT JUST POWERS OFF AND MUST BE RESTARTED. EVIDENCE OF A LEAK SOMEWHERE CAN NOT BE LOCATED. THE LEAK HAS STAINED A LITTLE ON THE INSIDE ROOF. *TR

BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED. EACH OF THE TWO TIMES WE HAVE FILLED UP THE TANK WITH GAS THE TANK HAS OVERFLOWED SPILLING AN ESTIMATED PINT OF GAS OUT OF THE TANK AND DOWN THE EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. EACH TIME GAS HAS SPILLED ONTO THE DRIVER AS WELL. RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE IT APPEARS THAT REPLACING THE GAS TANK RESOLVES THIS ISSUE. I FEEL THIS IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL. REF. SERVICE BULLETIN NO.: SB-14-003-13, NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10052148. *TR

HEAT DECIDED TO NOT WORK ON THE FIRST 30 DAY W/ SNOW AND ICE. PASSENGER VENTS ARE BLOWING LUKE WARM AIR, AND THE DRIVERS SIDE BLOWING COLD AIR. ALSO, NO AIR AT ALL COMING FROM THE BLOWER AT THE DRIVERS FEET. NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS AS I HAD READ 100'S OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE BLEND DOOR NOT OPERATING PROPERLY ON JEEPS OF ALL TYPES. THIS IS A $1000 FIT, AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE BLEND DOOR. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE OUTRAGE! *TR

PRIOR TO ACCIDENT, THE SKY SLIDER LEAKED WATER INTO THE ELECTRICAL ROOF LIGHT COMPACTS DROPPING DOWN INTO GEAR SHIFT. ALSO LEAKED INTO TRUNK AND BACK SEAT OF JEEP FROM CEILING. EVEN AFTER REPAIRED BY DEALERSHIP TWICE, IT CONTINUED TO LEAK WATER DURING AND AFTER RAIN. THE AUTOMATIC DRIVER SIDE WINDOW SINCE LEAKING ISSUES, HAS SHORTED AND FAILED TO CLOSE (GO UP) ON A DAILY BASIS. DEEP FRONT END COLLISION HAD ZERO DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAG IN FRONT- INCLUDES DURING/AFTER PASSENGER SIDE ROLLOVER. ONLY SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. CONCUSSION AND MUSCLE SPASMS RESULTED FROM ACCIDENT. BODY HIT AGAINST STEERING COLUMN, HEAD AND ARM AGAINST DRIVER WINDOW AND FRAME. ENTIRE WEEK OF UNPAID MEDICAL LEAVE FROM EMPLOYER BY DOCTORS ORDER. TOTAL LOSS OF JEEP. SEATBELT HELD ME IN SUSPENSE WHILE JEEP WAS ON IT'S SIDE. ALTHOUGH IT LEFT ME WITH PAINS IN HIPS, ABDOMEN AND LEGS, THE SEATBELT SAVED ME FROM ENDING UP IN THE WINDOW AND GLASS IN MY SKIN FROM THE ROLLOVER WINDOW GLASS BREAKAGE. FEELS LIKE JEEP INITIATED ROLLOVER UPON FRONT IMPACT AFTER HAVING BEEN STOPPED COMPLETELY. ..UPDATED 11/18/14 *BF UPDATED 10/7/2015*JS

BAD CLOCK SPRING LOCATED IN STEERING COLUMN, EFFECTS MANY THINGS INCLUDING AIRBAG. EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE AND HAVE FOUND IT IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE. *TR

THE DAY, JULY 10, 2014, STARTED OUT WITH MY WIFE, GRANDDAUGHTER AND ME GOING TO THE GROCERY STORE IN MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. WE WERE BACK BY NOON, HAD SOME LUNCH AND ABOUT 1:30PM PUT GRANDDAUGHTER DOWN FOR A NAP. ABOUT 2:00PM WIFE NEEDED TO GO INTO TOWN FOR AN ERRAND. SHE BACKED THE JEEP OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY AND CONTINUED DOWN THE ROAD GOING ABOUT 15 MPH. THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE BLOWS (4 TIRES ON THE VEHICLE BOUGHT APPROX. 14 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT - GOODYEAR P225/75R16 WRANGLER ST 104S) AND THE SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. VEHICLE DID NOT HIT ANYTHING NOR WAS IT HIT BY ANYTHING. WIFE DID SUSTAIN A SLIGHT RED BRUISE ON HER LEFT CHEEK. GOOD THING IT DID NOT HAPPEN WITH ALL OF US IN THE VEHICLE OR GOING 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. I CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE. CHRYSLER GROUP LLC CONDUCTED AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE INCIDENT AND INSPECTED THE JEEP. THE INSPECTION FOUND NO INDICATION OF A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT CAUSED OR CONTRIBUTED TO THE INCIDENT. HARD TO BELIEVE THAT A FRONT TIRE BLOWS AND SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AT 15 MPH. JEEP IS SUPPOSED TO BE A RUGGED OFF-ROAD VEHICLE. *TR

IT STARTED A WITH WHEN I GOT OUT OF JEEP AND PUSH BUTTON TO LOCK THE VEHICLE IT WOULDN'T LOCK AND THE HORN WOULD NOT BEEP LIKE IT DOES WHEN IT LOCKS SO I HAD TO LOCK IT MANUALLY. WHEN I GOT OUT OF STORE AND GOT BACK INTO JEEP IT WORKED AND IT ONLY HAPPENS AFTER THE CAR HAS WARMED UP IS WHAT IT SEEMS LIKE, THEN I WAS PULLING INTO A TURNING LANE AND SLOWING DOWN AND HEARD A HORN BEEP LOUD JUST TO REALIZE THAT IT WAS MY JEEP THAT BEEPED AND I NEVER PRESSED THE HORN AT ALL. THEN TODAY I GET INTO CAR AND SIT IN SEAT AND USE THE POWER SEAT BUTTON TO ADJUST THE DRIVER SEAT AND DIDN'T EVEN TOUCH THE STEERING WHEEL AND DIDN'T PUT THE KEY IN IGNITION EITHER AND MY FLASHERS STARTED FLASHING BUT, THEN CUT RIGHT OFF. WHEN I GOT WHERE I WAS GOING AND PARKED MY JEEP IT HAPPENED AGAIN THE FLASHERS STARTED TO FLASH AND THEN STOPPED. WHEN I WALKED UP TO THE JEEP WITHOUT PRESSING ANY BUTTONS MY CAR UNLOCKED ON ITS OWN AND THE LIGHTS CAME ON. SOMETIMES MY RADIO TAKES ABOUT 10 SECONDS OR SO BEFORE IT STARTS TO WORK. WINDSHIELD WIPER DOESN'T WANT TO BLOW OUT ANY FLUID SAYS IT NEEDS A MOTOR. HAVE A SLIDER ROOF AND NOTICED THAT IT HAS LEAKED PREVIOUSLY CAUSE I CAN SEE RAIN MARKS AROUND THE EDGES OF THE SLIDER AND WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I CAN HEAR WIND FROM COMING THE ROOF SO ITS NOT SEALING LIKE IT SHOULD. I CAN HAVE THE HEAT ON BUT, LATER IN THE DAY WHEN IT GETS HOT I WILL TURN ON THE AC AND THE AC DOESN'T WANT TO BLOW OUT COLD AIR AND I FIDDLE WITH THE SWITCHES FOR A BIT, I CAN FINALLY GET IT TO COME ON. I JUST BOUGHT IT LAST JANUARY SO I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD IT A YEAR YET AND ALWAYS TAKE IT IN FOR SERVICING PLEASE HELP ME I HAVE SEEN RECALLS FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME JEEP BUT, YOUR SITE TELLS ME NO OPEN RECALLS SO HOW DO I KNOW IF MINE HAS BEEN REPAIRED? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LIGHTS FLASHED, HORN ACTIVATED AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS WITH WIPER FLUID INDEPENDENTLY TURNED ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIPM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WHEN EVER I TURN THE WHEEL, I HEAR A POP. IT IS GETTING LOUDER NOW WITH AGE.THE AUTO TECHNICIAN THAT CHECKED DID SHOW ME THE BUSHINGS AND THEY LOOKED WORE OUT. JUST NEW CONTROL ARM 'S COST ABOUT $400.00 FOR BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT. I DID NOT ASK ABOUT THE LABOR CHARGE. *TR

WHEN I TRIED TO OPEN THE SLIDING SKY ROOF THE STICKY (TAPE) PART BECAME UNSTUCK FROM THE SLIDING SKY ROOF AND STUCK TO THE CAR'S FRAME THAT CAUSED THE SLIDING SKY ROOF TO BREAK OFF THE TRACK PREVENTING IT FROM OPENING AND/OR CLOSING. IF DRIVEN NOW IT WILL BLOW OFF AND BE HAZARDOUS. *TR
