2008 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

THE SUNROOF LEAKS INTO THE HEADLINER CAUSING MOLD AND ALSO AFFECTING THE ELECTRICAL WIRES IN THE HEADLINER. WE HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD SON AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS COULD CAUSE A THREAT TO HIM AS WELL AS MY WIFE WHO'S DRIVES THE CAR. IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT JEEP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AS WELL AS OTHER MODELS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, I AM A WARE THAT IT IS A USED CAR BUT WITH THE RESEARCH THAT I HAVE DONE ITS NOT THE FACT THAT IT IS USED, IT WAS A PROBLEM THAT WAS WRONG WHEN THIS 2008 JEEP HAD WHEN IT ROLLED OFF THE LINE, AND I'M CONSERENED FOR MY WIFE AND SONS SAFETY AS WELL AS SO MANY OTHER DEALING WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM!!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING, THE FUEL OVERFLOWED AND SPEWED ONTO THE CONTACT'S HANDS, ARMS AND CLOTHING. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE CONTACT REFUELED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER FOR INSPECTION BUT THERE WAS NO DEFECT FOUND. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF FAILURE BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 31,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,500.

I HAVE THE SLIDER SUNROOF AND IT FLEW BACKWARDS WHILE GOING TO WORK IN SEPTEMBER, 5 MONTHS AFTER I HAD IT . TOOK IT TO 3 CAR DEALERSHIPS (ONE CHARGED ME $79.00 TO LOOK AT IT) TO BE TOLD IT HAD TO BE REPLACED AND WOULD BE $2000. I REQUESTED HELP FROM CHRYSLER, THE CASEWORKER SAID SHE COULD HELP ME AND THEN I WAS DENIED. THE SLIDER SUNROOF IS A HAZARD. I TRIED MULTIPLE THINGS TO HAVE IT REPAIRED BUT THERE WAS NO REPAIR ONLY TO REPLACE THE WHOLE THING. I HAD IT STRAPPED DOWN, PLASTIC AND TAPED UNTIL I COULD GET IT FIXED AS WITH NO TOP SOME WATER DAMAGE OCCURRED AND FOR A NEWER VEHICLE IT LOOKED TERRIBLE. WHILE THAT WORKED FOR AWHILE THE TOP AGAIN FLEW OFF TOTALLY JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO. I TURNED IT IN TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY AS I DID NOTHING TO THE TOP FOR IT TO MALFUNCTION AS IT DID. I AM GETTING IT REPAIRED NOW WITH SO FAR JUST PAYING MY DEDUCTIBLE BUT AM VERY WORRIED IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN. IT WAS A POOR THOUGHT OUT IDEA AS THE TOP IS JUST CANVAS WITH A FEW VERY SMALL, THIN METAL RODS THAT SNAPPED APART WHEN IT FLEW BACKWARDS. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL ALL THE SLIDER SUNROOFS AND IMPLEMENT ANOTHER IDEA FOR THESE. ALSO AFTER SEEING WHAT THEY ARE MADE OF AND HOW THESE SUNROOFS ARE PUT TOGETHER I DON'T BELIEVE THEY WOULD PROTECT VERY WELL IF YOU DID HAPPEN TO FLIP THE VEHICLE. *TR

POWER DROPPED AND ENGINE RAN RUGGED- NOT ABLE TO PULL INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER I NEEDED TO REPLACE ALL 4 OXYGEN SENSORS AND THE TCM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT MODERATE SPEEDS, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, HORN AND DOOR LOCKS WOULD ACTIVATE INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE DOORS LOCKED, NO ONE COULD EXIT THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE MANUALLY HAD TO BE UNLOCKED FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED NO FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN AUTO MECHANIC WHO WAS ALSO UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE ANY FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 93,000.

UPON OPENING SKYSLIDER PASSANGER SIDE OF TOP DID NOT OPEN, WHEN FINALLY STARTING TO OPEN GOT STUCK AT FIRST FRAME. WOULD NOT CLOSE PROPERLY. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. CONSUMER SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS MANY PROBLEMS. *JS

THE SKYSLIDER MALFUNCTIONED, DOES NOT OPEN EVENLY, WILL NOT CLOSE CORRECTLY. *JS

AFTER JUST PURCHASING VEHICLE FROM USED DEALERSHIP (2ND OWNER), FIRST TIME FILLING UP RESULTED IN OVERFLOW OF GAS. TRIED MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS, SPEEDS, AMOUNTS AND RESULTED IN SAME OVERFLOW. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND THEY REFUSED TO CHECK OUT THE CAR UNLESS I PAID NON-REFUNDABLE 200 INSPECTION FEE BEFORE DIAGNOSIS (KEEP IN MIND I HAD JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE)! CALLED MANUFACTURER AND THEY CLAIMED NOT A KNOWN ISSUE ALTHOUGH CURRENT RECALL STATES OTHERWISE. 2008 JEEP LIBERTY SHOULD BE ADDED TO THAT RECALL EFFORT! *JS

EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, THE GAS SPEWS FROM THE FILLER NECK WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER THE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF AUTOMATICALLY OR IF I SHUT IT OFF MANUALLY TO TRY TO PREVENT IT FROM SPEWING OUT. THIS HAPPENS NO MATTER WHICH GAS STATION I FILL UP AT, WHETHER IT'S NEAR HOME OR OUT OF TOWN. I HAVE DRIVEN MANY, MANY MAKES OF AUTOMOBILES SINCE 1956 (THAT'S 56 YEARS) AND THIS IS THE FIRST VEHICLE THAT EVER GAVE ME THIS PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP LIBERTY, THE WIPERS AND HORN CAME ON SUDDENLY AND THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL PANEL LIT UP. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, THEY FINALLY DETERMINED IT WAS THE TIPM MODULE THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE PART WAS BACKORDERED. I HAVE SINCE FOUND THERE IS A NATIONAL BACKORDER (SINCE 2010) WITH OVER 270+ IN MY AREA ALONE. THE ISSUE BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AS I WOULD GET IN MY CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START. UNLOCKING THE VEHICLE APPEARS TO CAUSE THE AUTOMOBILE TO ENGAGE SOMETHING ELECTRICAL (THOUGH I ONLY OPEN IT MANUALLY - NOT WITH THE KEYLESS ENTRY) WHICH RESULTS IN THE VEHICLE ACTING AS THOUGH IT IS ALREADY ON. MOST RECENTLY, WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 70MPH, I HAD A JOLT BEFORE THE WIPERS/HORN WENT OFF AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON. I BELIEVE THE SYSTEM IS NOW ENGAGING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I HAVE DISCONTINUED DRIVING THE VEHICLE AS A RESULT. I BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE IS A LEMON. THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. *TR
