2008 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

I BOUGHT MY JEEP IN JUNE WITH JUST OVER 36000 MILES. IT WAS PREVIOUSLY A RENTAL VEHICLE. EVERYTHING WAS FINE UNTIL ABOUT SEPTEMBER WHEN I FILLED GAS AND THE PUMP CLICKED OFF AND GAS CAME OUT ALL OVER AT ABOUT 42,000 MILES. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE GAS PUMP, BUT THEN I WENT TO OTHER STATIONS AND IT HAPPENED EVERY TIME. I WAS GOING TO BRING IT IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT BUT I SEE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS VERY IRRITATING TO HAVE IT HAPPEN EVERY TIME! PLEASE HAVE A RECALL! *TR

A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GAS SPILLS OUT OF THE FUEL TANK OPENING AFTER THE AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF OF THE PUMPS GAS FLOW. THIS OCCURS ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL UP. I NOW HAVE TO ONLY ALLOW THE TANK TO FILL UP 3/4 FULL TO AVOID SPILLS. *TR

SUDDEN ENGINE ACCELERATION INCIDENT. MY WIFE AND I WERE LEAVING A PARKING LOT. AFTER BACKING OUT OF MY PARKING SPACE I DROVE FOR ABOUT 1 MINUTE TO A STOP SIGN. I PUT THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL AND WAITED FOR A CAR TO EXIT THE INTERSECTION AND FOR SOME PEDESTRIANS TO CROSS. SUDDENLY, WITHOUT TOUCHING THE ACCELERATOR, THE ENGINE BEGAN TO RACE. I LOOKED AT THE TACHOMETER. THE ENGINE THAT NORMALLY IDLES AT ABOUT 600 RPM WAS RUNNING AT 2500 RPM. I SAT AT THE STOP SIGN FOR A FEW MOMENTS AND DECIDED THE THROTTLE MUST HAVE STUCK. WITH THE STICK SHIFT IN NEUTRAL I TAPPED THE ACCELERATOR HOPING TO UNSTICK THE THROTTLE. THE ENGINE ROARED TO 3500 RPM AND STAYED THERE FOR 10-20 SECONDS. THEN THE RPMS STARTED TO DROP BACK DOWN TO NORMAL IDLE.. WEATHER WAS CLEAR AND DRY TEMPERATURE 60 DEGREES, TIME 3 PM. IT WAS SCARY. IF THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN GEAR WHEN THE ENGINE TOOK OFF, I WOULD HAVE TAKEN OFF. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN SHE ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BLINKED ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. THE FAILURE BEGAN APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR AGO. IN ADDITION, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS BLINKED ON AND OFF WHEN SHE ACCELERATED IN ANY DIRECTION AND AT ANY SPEED. SHE WAS ALSO UNABLE TO LOCK THE VEHICLE ONCE SHE EXITED BECAUSE THE LOCKING MECHANISM WAS INOPERABLE. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE WAS LEFT UNATTENDED AND UNLOCKED. THE DEALER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE HOWEVER, THEY DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GAS SPILLS OUT OF THE SPOUT AFTER THE AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF OF THE PUMP'S GAS FLOW. GAS SPILLS DOWN THE VEHICLE, ONTO THE GROUND AND ONTO THE PERSON PUMPING GAS. *KB

I OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 2 1/2 YEARS, MY JEEP LIBERTY HAS A SUNROOF THAT COMPLETELY OPENS UP THE ROOF AND ALL THE SUDDEN ON TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 27,2011 AROUND 5:45 I WAS DRIVING AND TRY TO OPEN THE SUNROOF A LITTLE AND IT OPEN ALL CROOKED AND WITH THE WIND IT WAS LIFTING UP FROM ONE SIDE I HAD TO PULL OVER AND HOLD IT WITH ONE HAND AND DRIVING WITH MY OTHER HAND I HAD TO DRIVE BACK HOME CALLED THE DEALER WITCH WAS CLOSED AT THE TIME THE NEXT DAY I CALLED THE TOWING TRUCK TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER CLOSER TO MY HOUSE AND THEY SEND US 35 MIN. AWAY FROM THERE BECAUSE WE HAD TO TAKE IT WERE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. IT'S BEEN 11 DAYS ALREADY AND I STILL DON'T HAVE MY VEHICLE BACK. I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT MANY VEHICLES WITH THE SUNROOF LIKE MINE AND I'M REALLY WONDERING IF THIS HAS HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GAS SPITS BACK OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE. THIS IS NOT FROM TOPPING OFF AS IT HAPPENS WHEN THE PUMP HANDLE AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF. ALSO HAS HAPPENED AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS. VERY HAZARDOUS AND DANGEROUS. *TR

AT THE END OF FILLING GAS TANK, GAS BACKWASHES OUT OF THE FILLING TUBE DOWN THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND ONTO THE GROUND. *TR

I HAVE HAD A DING FOR NO REASON THAT OCCURS ALL THE TIME SOMETIMES ONCE A DAY SOME TIMES EVERY FEW MINS. THEN WHILE TOWING A TRAILER, WHICH IS ONLY 6 X 12 AND WELL UNDER MAX TOW LIMITS ESP NOT WORKING LIGHT WILL COME ON AND GO OFF AT VERY ANNOYING INTERVALS, ONCE THIS STARTS 4X4 LIGHT COMES ON, THEN SERVICE 4WHEEL DRIVE COMES ON. HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE IN NUMEROUS TIMES AND BEEN CHARGED CLOSE TO 1000. DOLLARS AND NO FIX. THEY KEEP TELLING ME IT'S A SENSOR BUT THEY REPLACE AND NO GOOD. THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO BE DRIVING PERFECTLY WELL BUT ON MY LAST TRIP THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON AND VEHICLE WOULDN'T DRIVE RIGHT. I HAVE THE TRANS COOLER ON AND FLUID LEVELS WHERE GOOD AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES LIGHT WENT OUT AND I DROVE 400 MORE MILES NO PROBLEM...HELP! *TR
