2010 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

SO THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN I HAVE CAME ACROSS, THIS IS OUTRAGED THE COMPANY HASN'T HAD ANY SORT OF RECALL ACROSS ALL PLATFORMS OF THIS GAS TANK. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS GAS TANK, OVERFLOW FORUMS, AND NUMEROUS YOUTUBE VIDEO OF "GAS BURP" IS THE NICKNAME, WHERE WHEN PUMPING GAS. THE CUSTOM LIKE MYSELF MAY BE INCLIND TO LIKE ANY CAR, ONCE THE GAS UNLEADED IS SELECTED, AND GAS CAP OUT, AND INSERTED INTO IT NORMAL SLOT. IT FILLS NORMALLY, AS THE GAS TANK FILLS NO SOUND IS HEARD, AND LASTLY ONCE THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF INSERTING THE GAS. IT SHOULD BE DONE, NOT WITH MY TANK MY TANK AT ANY GAS STATION, AT ANY LOCATION, ANY BRAND, OF CIRCLE K, BP, MOBILE, SHELL, QT? THEY ALL OVERFLOW MY CAR!. THIS SPILL ISN'T A LIGHT SPILL, THIS I'D A MAJOR QUARTER OF A GAS TANK STILL EVERY TIME. ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND THE GROUND AND JEEP AND DEALERSHIP RESPONSE, IS YOU HAVE TO PAY 3K TO REPLACE THE WHOLE GAS TANK. WHICH IS OUTRAGEOUS FOR A SAFETY ISSUE OF DUMPING GAS ALL OVER THE GROUND. THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS ON 2007 MODELS, OF JEEPS AND DODGE DURANGO. BUT MY CAR IN SPECIFIC LIKE MANY OTHERS IN THE 2005-2012 RANGE ARE EXPERIENCING IS. A DODGE FLAW OF THE GAS TANK, IT IS THE PLUNGER SYSTEM TO PREVENT BACKFLOW. WELL THE RUBBER STOPPER ERODES TO ETHANOL WHICH IS IN GASOLINE. BUT I AM HERE TO ADD MY CONCERN IF THE ISSUE AT HAND. I WORK FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND TO HAVE CARS SPILLING FUEL OUT OF THE NORMAL CONSUMER USE ANY TIME OF THE YEAR, ANY TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE, AND STATIONS, AND ALSO ANY PUMP NOZZLE WILL DO THE REPEATED ISSUE. I HAVE EVIDENCE OF THIS BUT EVEN YOURSELF CAN GOOGLE GAS BURP CHRYSLER TYPE OF VEHICLES AND IT IS VERY COMMON ISSUE ACROSS FORUMS AND MORE. BEST PART IS, THE WEAR ON THE RUBBER RING IS PAST WARRANTY SO IT OUT OF POCKET CUSTOMERS WHO WIL MOST LIKELY JUST PREFER TO SPILL GAS INSTEAD OF COUGHING UP THE MONEY TO REPLACE A WHOLE GAS FUEL TANK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT TWO OF THE FRONT SUN ROOF CLIPS FRACTURED. AS A RESULT, THE SUN ROOF DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH. THE CONTACT HAD TO DUCT TAPE THE SUN ROOF TO THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. METRO CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (650 MEMORIAL DR C, CHICOPEE, MA 01020, (413) 783-9911) AND AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TRADE IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT REPAIRING THE SUN ROOF WOULD BE A WASTE MONEY SINCE THE FAILURE WOULD LIKELY RECUR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,423.

WHILE DRIVING AFTER ABOUT 5 - 10 MINUTES, THE BATTERY LIGHT ON THE DASH LIT UP AND MADE A DINGING NOISE. I PARKED CAME BACK OUT TO LEAVE 3 HOURS LATER, AND THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. THERE WAS NO CLICKING, NO NOISED WHEN TURNING THE KEY TO START THE CAR. WE TRIED JUMPING THE CAR WITH 2 DIFFERENT JUMP BOXES AND 1 SET OF CABLES. NONE OF THOSE WORKED. I THEN HAD THE CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER. THEY THOUGHT IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR, CHANGED IT, AND I PICKED THE CAR UP FROM THE SERVICE CENTER, AGAIN 5 MINUTES INTO DRIVING THE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR DIED WHILE DRIVING MAYBE 10 MINUTES LATER ON THE THE THRUWAY. AGAIN, NOT ABLE TO JUMP THE BATTERY SO IT WAS TOWED BACK TO THE SERVICE CENTER. THEY THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE A FAULTY ALTERNATOR, AND CHANGED IT OUT. THE BATTERY LIGHT STILL CAME ON, AND DISCOVERED IT WAS THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE (TIPM) THAT WAS FAILING, AND BURNING THROUGH THE ALTERNATORS.

DAUGHTER PULLED OUT OF DRIVEWAY TURNED LEFT ONTO STREET AND IMMEDIATELY HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND OBSERVED THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD INSTRUMENTATION PANEL LIGHT UP. WIPERS CAME ON, DOORS LOCKED, ENGINE CUT OFF, ALARM WENT OFF, WIPER FLUID STARTED SPRAYING AND SMOKE STARTED POURING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. FORTUNATELY SHE WAS ABLE TO UNLOCK THE DOORS AND GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. ELECTRICAL WIRING WAS STILL SMOKING 45 MINUTES AFTER THE POWER FINALLY DRAINED FROM THE BATTERY. TOW TRUCK REFUSED TO MOVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL A MECHANIC CAME TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. LOCAL SHOP SAID ALL THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUITRY WAS BURNED UP OR COMPROMISED, INCLUDING THE WIRING HARNESSES, GROUND WIRES, FUSED BOX, TIPM, ETC. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PRONOUNCED UNFIXABLE. INSURANCE COMPANY WILL NOT COVER SINCE FIRE DAMAGE WAS CONFINED TO ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS AND JEEP CHRYSLER SENT AN INVESTIGATOR TO INSPECT THE DAMAGE AND COMPENSATION WAS DENIED.

THE FIRST TIME MY SKYSLIDER MALFUNCTIONED WAS WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE EXPRESSWAY AT 65MPH. INSTEAD OF OPENING STRAIGHT IT WENT SIDEWAYS AND WAS STRUGGLING AGAINST ITSELF- THIS HAD NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. I ENDED UP HAVING TO STOP ALONG THE SHOULDER BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING. ONCE I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET IT INTO THE CLOSED POSITION AGAIN IT WOULDN'T STAY CLOSED ON IT'S OWN WITHOUT WANTING TO FLIP UP AND CAUSE A LOT OF NOISE AND POTENTIALLY MORE DAMAGE. I HAD TO HOLD THE ROOF CLOSE THE REMAINING 20 MINUTES HOME. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOLD ME THERE WERE NO PARTS TO FIX IT BUT THEY COULD PERMANENTLY CLOSE IT FOR ME. THEY COULDN'T GUARANTEE IT WOULD BE WATER TIGHT BUT THIS WAS THE BEST THEY COULD OFFER. I ACCEPTED THEN APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS LATER AS SOON AS I STARTED THE CAR I STARTED TO HEAR A LOUD NOISE THAT I COULDN'T PLACE BECAUSE IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS COMING FROM EVERYWHERE. MY 6 YEAR OLD POINTED OUT THAT THE ROOF WAS MOVING AND I IMMEDIATELY HIT THE CLOSE BUTTON AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE ROOF TO STOP STRAINING AGAINST THE "PERMANENT SEAL" BUT IT WAS TOO LATE AND A FEW PIECES RAINED DOWN ON ME. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME 40 MINUTES ON AN EXPRESSWAY WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 70 MPH WITH MY HAZARDS ON BECAUSE I COULDN'T GO OVER 60 MPH WITHOUT LOSING MY GRIP OF THE ROOF AND IT FLOPPING AROUND WILDLY- I HAVE A SHORT VIDEO OF THAT PARTICULAR DRIVE BUT CAN'T UPLOAD IT HERE. MY SON WAS TERRIFIED AND THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN OUR DRIVEWAY EVER SINCE BECAUSE IT'S BEEN RAINING HERE AND MY ROOF WON'T CLOSE. I CONTACTED CORPORATE JEEP AND ALL THEY COULD TELL ME WAS THAT THE ROOF ON MY JEEP WAS OUT OF WARRANTY IN 2013, 3 YEARS BEFORE I PURCHASED IT FROM AN AUTHORIZED JEEP DEALER, BALES AUTO MALL IN JEFFERSONVILLE, IN. I HAVEN'T EVEN OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 2 YEARS- I HAVE 4 YEARS OF PAYMENTS LEFT...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE TO RUN AN ERRAND. WHEN THE CONTACT RETURNED, HE NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE ROLLED AWAY. ON A SEPARATE OCCASION, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15-25 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BACK HOME AND NOTICED AIR COMING FROM THE VICINITY OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A COLLISION CENTER. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL SEIZED IN PLACE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 10V315000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) OR 10V009000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

I AM STILL PAYING FOR MY VEHICLE AND I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT THE SKY SLIDER HAS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. WHEN I OPENED THE SKY SLIDER IT CAME OFF TRACK AND I AM UNABLE TO CLOSE IT SECURELY. I HAVE BEING IN TOUCH WITH ORIGINAL DEALER AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIR AND IT WAS NOT GUARANTEE TO LAST

2010 JEEP LIBERTY SKY SLIDER LEAKING +UNSAFE ROOF+ LEAKING WATER INTO VEHICLE WETTING FLOOR AND SATURATING CARPETS CAUSING SLIPPERY FEET ON GAS AND BREAK PEDDLES. WATER ERODING ELECTRICAL PANEL WHERE THE SKYSLIDER POWER BUTTON IS..... VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK. LEAKING SKYSLIDER FAILED REPAIRS AT ED VOYLES JEEP DEALERSHIP WITH OVER 75 SERVICE RECORDS OVER 4 REPLACED SKYSLIDER ATTEMPTS & HEADLINER REPLACED, I PAID FOR REPLACED CARPET DUE TO DETERIORATION AND SMELL. CHYRLSER LLC HAS HAD MANY CHANCES TO REMEDY PROBLEM @ 101,000 MILE REPAIR & MADE NO OFFER TO BUY BACK / TRADE BUT PROMISED TO FIX WITH EACH REPAIR. VEHICLE WAS SOLD TO ME WITH A SKYSLIDER FEATURE AND THIS SKYSLIDER FEATURE IS FLAWED DESIGN. I SENT DEALERSHIP THE VIDEO SHOWING HOW THE TOP "BURPS" WHEN DOORS ARE CLOSED, SO THE TOP HAS NO SECURE LATCHING FEATURES TO HOLD IT INPLACE AND WHEN THE ELECTRICAL SHORTS OUT DO TO THE EXPOSURE TO WATER & THERE IS A PROBABLE CAUSE FOR THE TOP TO RIP RIGHT OFF THE TRACTS WHILE IN MOTION. PLEASE SEND SOMEONE TO INVESTIGATE THE REPAIRS ORDERS OF ALL JEEP LIBERTY THAT HAVE SKYSLIDERS. I WISH THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN HONEST WITH ME AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THE MANUFACTURE REPRESENTIVE AND JUST SAY WE CANT FIX IT AND WE NEED TO REPLACE IT WITH A VEHICLE THAT REPRESENTS OUR JEEP QUALITY WITH SOMETHING TO THE SAME FEATURE LIKE THE SKYSLIDER FOR THE VERY REASON IT WAS PURCHASED! I HAVE A 4 INCH BINDER WITH ALL MY SERVICE RECORDS, PHOTOS, EMAILS, SERVICE REPORTS AND HAPPY TO MAIL YOU A COPY. DEALERSHIP HAS DONE AN OUTSTANDING JOB..... BUT REALLY SHOULD HAVE STEPPED UP TO PROTECT THE CONSUMER WHEN INSTEAD THEY THREW IN THE TOWEL AND SAID THERE IS NOTHING MORE THEY CAN DO TO FIX THE LEAKING SKYSLIDER. PLEASE DO A RECALL INVESTIGATION OF THE SKYSLIDER LEAKING. VALUE OF REPAIR EXCEEDS VALUE OF PURCHASE... THAT CLASSIFIES A TOTAL LOSS BY LAW >>
