2008 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

EVERY SINGLE TIME I GO TO FILL UP THE VEHICLE, IT SPEWS GAS ALL OVER THE PLACE (THE VEHICLE, ME, GROUND) IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW FAST OR SLOW YOU FILL IT UP, IT GOES ALL OVER EVERYTHING. ITS DANGEROUS AND VERY IRRITATING! *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, WATER BEGAN TO SEEP OUT OF THE MAPLIGHTS AND DOWN BOTH A-FRAME PILLARS. PANORAMIC MOON ROOF STOPPED CLOSING ALL THE WAY AFTER A WIND STORM AND WAS OPEN ENOUGH TO CAUSE MAJOR LEAKAGE (UPWARDS OF 3 GALLONS OF WATER). I FEEL THIS IS DEFECTIVE AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT, AS TRAVELING AT HIGH RATE OF SPEED, THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN THE ROOF FLYING OPEN. MANUFACTURER HAS STATED IT IS NOT AN ISSUE THAT THEY PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE WITH, AND THE REPAIRS WILL BE OVER $7000. *TR

RECENTLY I RECEIVED THE SAFETY RECALL N10 / NHTSA 13V-121 FOR MY JEEP LIBERTY 2008. IN JUNE 20, I MADE CONTACT WITH THE FLAGSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT, IN BAYAMON PUERTO RICO AT 787-620-5877. SOME FEMALE VERIFIED MY VEHICLE INFORMATION AND ONCE CONFIRMED MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR NEXT DAY ( JUNE 21 ). AT DATE OF JUNE 21, 9:30AM ONCE IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, MR [XXX] TOLD ME THAT WAS A MISTAKE, A ERROR, AND SAID "YOUR VEHICLE HASN'T PROBLEMS OR RECALLS." MY DOUBT WITH AT SOME OBSERVATIONS: THEIR QUESTION: "WHERE DID YOU BUY THE VEHICLE". ( I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AT ROCKY MOTORS, A SMALL DEALER) AND THE PLAYVIEW OF A LONG ROW OF JEEP WRANGLER TO BE RECEIVED FOR REPAIRS BY RECALLS. I FELT DISPLACED, AND HAVE MY DOUBTS ABOUT THE INFORMATION RECEIVED. PLEASE CONFIRM AND TAKE NOTICE, WITH THIS ESTABLISHMENT, TO BE LOYAL TO THE SAFETY RELATED. AT THIS DATE, I TOOK THE TIME, I HAVE CHANCE TO GET A VEHICLE TO USE DURING THE VEHICLE RECALL REPAIRS. LATER IN AUGUST, IS LATE, THERE WILL BE NO CHANCE, I WORK AT 20 MILES FROM HOME. IF MY VEHICLE NEED IT, I NEED TO REPAIR NOW, OR THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SHOULD PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ADD FUEL TO THE VEHICLE, GASOLINE SPILLED OUT OF THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED AFTER RUNNING FOR A SHORT TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE WATER PUMP HAD FAILED. THE CONTACT INQUIRED ABOUT NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 13V121000 (AIR BAGS, POWER TRAIN AND STRUCTURE) BUT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE DAMAGE WAS NOT RELATED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 87,000. *TR

WHEN I PUMP GAS THE SYSTEM DOES NOT STOP, THE GAS CONTINUES TO PUMP ONCE THE TANK IS FULL. GAS RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. NO RECALL ON THIS ISSUE SO I WOULD HAVE TO PAY MYSELF THIS NEEDS BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY JUST AS THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF ENGAGES THE GAS COMES OUT OF THE FILL PIPE AND DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHERE I FILL UP THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS. I WAS BEGINNING TO THINK I WAS THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM BUT I SEE THERE ARE OTHERS. IN MY OPINION I FEEL THAT JEEP SHOULD CHECK THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT COST TO THE OWNERS AS A GESTURE OF GOOD PUBLIC RELATIONS. MY JEEP WAS PURCHASED IN NOVEMBER 2012 AS A PRE-OWNED VEHICLE FROM A JEEP DEALERSHIP. *TR

I OWN A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY THAT HAS A SKY SLIDER. I HAD OPENED THE SLIDER APPROXIMATELY FOUR TIMES (NOT EXAGGERATING) AND ON THE FOURTH TIME, WHEN TRYING TO SHUT IT BACK IT "BROKE". THE SLIDER WENT OFF TRACK AND I HAD TO MANUALLY CLOSE IT. THIS WAS ALL WHILE SITTING IN MY GARAGE! ONCE I TOOK OFF THE SLIDER WOULD WHIP IN THE WIND AND I WAS SO AFRAID IT WOULD RIP OFF I LITERALLY WAS GOING 40MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. I HAD IT FIXED FOR $2500. I HAVE NEVER OPENED IT AGAIN FOR FEAR THAT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. NOW GOING DOWN THE ROAD FROM 50MPH ON, I CAN'T EVEN HOLD A CONVERSATION IT IS SO NOISY. IF I GET BEHIND SEMI-TRUCKS THE SLIDER STARTS TO FLAP DUE TO THE FRONT OF IT STARTING TO "PEEL" BACK. I UNDERSTAND THEY HAVE QUIT MAKING THIS MODEL AND I UNDERSTAND WHY! I STRONGLY URGE A RECALL ON THIS AS MANY OF US ARE OUT OF MONEY FROM FIXING IT AND I CAN'T EVEN SELL IT. NO ONE WANTS IT BECAUSE OF THE SLIDER. NOW IM STUCK WITH A LOW CLASS VEHICLE WHILE PAYING HIGH CLASS MONTHLY PAYMENTS. I FEEL I HAVE BEEN SCAMMED! *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FROM CHRYSLER REGARDING A RECALL STATING THAT "THE TRANSFER CASE HEAT SHIELD MAY DROP DOWN AND RUB ON THE DRIVE SHAFT, WEAKENING IT AND POTENTIALLY CAUSING THE DRIVE SHAFT TO BREAK.". CHRYSLER'S RECALL LETTER FAILS TO MENTION WHAT IS OUTLINED IN THE NHTSA LETTER: THE FIRST POTENTIAL CAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT RESULTING FROM THE ABOVE REFERENCED DEFECT: "IF THE DRIVE SHAFT BREAKS, A SECTION OF IT CAN STRIKE THE TRANSFER CASE TUNNEL WITH ENOUGH FORCE THAT THE AIRBAG COMPUTER WILL BELIEVE THE VEHICLE IS IN A CRASH AND THUS DEPLOY THE AIRBAGS.". I LODGED A COMPLAINT WITH CHRYSLER THAT THEY ARE UNWILLING TO PROVIDE 2008 JEEP LIBERTY OWNERS WITH ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION WHILE THEY "FIX" THE "PROBLEM". CUSTOMERS NEED TO BE INFORMED ABOUT ALL THE POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES AND CHRYSLER ONLY MENTIONS THIS THE TRANSFER CASE HEAT SHIELD MAY DROP DOWN AND RUB ON THE DRIVE SHAFT, WEAKENING IT AND POTENTIALLY CAUSING THE DRIVE SHAFT TO BREAK. IN ADDITION, I SPOKE TO CHRYSLERS "RECALL HELP DESK" ABOUT WHETHER I SHOULD BE DRIVING MY JEEP OR NOT AND I WAS TOLD "YOU'VE BEEN DRIVING YOUR CAR FOR 53,000 MILES AND NOTHINGS HAPPENED SO PROBABLY NOTHING WILL HAPPEN BUT LET US KNOW IF IT DOES." HE SAID THAT THE "HEAD HONCHOS" WERE MEETING ABOUT THE FIX AS WE SPOKE. I ASKED HIM TO LET THE CEO KNOW THAT IF THEY REALLY CARED FOR CUSTOMER SAFETY THEY WOULD GET US RENTAL CARS AND THAT I WOULD TAKE THE CHEAPEST RENTAL ON THE MARKET. WOULD THE CEO OF CHRYSLER CONTINUE TO DRIVE A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY UNTIL THE FIX?? WOULD HE HAVE HIS SON, DAUGHTER OR WIFE DRIVE ONE IN ITS PRESENT CONDITION? . NHTSA IN THE SPIRIT OF TRANSPARENCY, WHERE IS THE INFORMATION THAT TELLS 2008 JEEP OWNERS HOW MANY AND AT WHAT MILEAGE ACCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED. I AM UNABLE TO EASILY ACCESS THIS INFORMATION ON THE NHTSA WEB SITE AND AM AN INTERMEDIATE COMPUTER USER. *TR

THE RADIO HAS A SHORT AND THE FRONT SPEAKERS DO NOT WORK. RADIO NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR
