2008 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

2008 JEEP LIBERTY - DRIVING LIGHTS VERY POOR ILLUMINATION. HIGH OR LOW BEAM. ONE MUST DRIVE WITH THE FOG LAMPS AND LOW BEAM FOR ACCEPTABLE ILLUMINATION. *TR

DURING COLD WEATHER CONDITIONS, THERE IS AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF FOG AND OR ICE THAT BUILDS UP ALONG BOTH OF THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE A PILLAR. DUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE DASH DEFROST VENTS, AIR FLOW ACROSS THIS SECTION OF THE WINDSHIELD IS INSUFFICIENT MAKING UP TO 25 PERCENT OF THE WINDSHIELD AREA NON VISIBLE. *TR

WHEN IT IS VERY COLD OUTSIDE (10F OR SO) THE DEFROST ON FOR THE FRONT WINDOW OF MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY DOES NOT DEFROST THE WINDOW ALL THE WAY AND ICE FORMS ON THE INSIDE. YOU CANNOT SEE OUT THE WINDOW, AND WITH MORE THEN ONE PERSON IN THE JEEP, IT DOES NOT CLEAR UP ALL THE WAY, NO MATTER HOW LONG OF A TRIP YOU TAKE IN THE CAR. THE WINDOW FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE A PILLER, DOES NOT CLEAR UP AND YOU ARE FORCED TO WIPE OFF THE FROST BY HAND ALL THE TIME. IT IS VERY HARD TO SEE AND IS UNSAFE. *TR

INTERIOR FRONT AND REAR DOOR HANDLES PLASTICS SCRATCH VERY EASILY DUE TO LACK OF OIL USED FOR PLASTIC PRODUCTION. THE PLASTIC NEEDS TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE USE OF ONLY CHEAP PAINT BEING PAINTED OVER THE HANDLE AREAS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, AND STEERING LOCKED UP, BUT THE VEHICLE MAINTAINED ITS SPEED. THE VEHICLE DID NOT STALL. THE CONTACT SHIFTED INTO PARK AND SKID OFF THE ROAD. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AT LEAST THREE TIMES ON NOVEMBER 19, 2008. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY FAILURES. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,500.

A BAD GRINDING SOUND AT 40MPH 2008 JEEP LIBERTY HAS 800 MILES ON IT HAD TO FIX TORQUE CONVERTER ON IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, SERVICE REP. IS TEST DRIVING IT TO SEE WHAT'S DOING IT. *TR

THE SKYSLIDER ROOF ON TRUCK MAKE LOUD WIND NOISE WHEN DRIVING ABOVE 60 MPH SO LOUD YOU CAN'T HEAR CAR HORNS. I HAVE BEEN TO DEALER 5 TIMES AND IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED YET. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY 4X4. IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN OCTOBER OF 2007, THE GEARS FAILED TO SHIFT ONCE PLACED INTO PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL SPIKE. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED TO UNHOOK THE BATTERY, LEAVE IT OFF FOR FIVE MINUTES, AND THE GEARS WOULD SHIFT PROPERLY. THE FAILURE HAS OCCURRED FOUR TIMES SINCE TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 17,194 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000. UPDATED 11/07/08. *LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND CRUISE CONTROL DID NOT WORK. THE CONSUMER DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND RE-CONNECTED IT AND EVERYTHING IS WORKING FINE. UPDATED 11/07/08. *JB

A PART FOR THE POWER WINDOWS FAILS DUE TO PRESSURE ON IT(ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE MANAGER) ALLOWING THE WINDOW TO DROP. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON THREE OF THE FOUR WINDOWS NOW (THE THIRD HAPPENED TODAY) I COME OUT OF WORK AND THE WINDOW IS DOWN. FORTUNATELY THE WEATHER WAS GOOD DURING THESE OCCURRENCES. AND NO ONE APPARENTLY NOTICED AS THE WALKED BY IT. I HAVE ASKED THEM TO REPLACE THE FOURTH ONE WHILE THEY ARE DOING THE THIRD BUT THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIX IT UNTIL IT BREAKS. I TOLD THEM THAT I AM TIRED OF TAKING OFF WORK TO GET THIS FIXED. THIS CAR IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD. THEY TOLD ME IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. I CAN'T TAKE A CHANCE THAT SOMEONE WON'T SEE IT DOWN AND GET IN. *TR

I'M WAITING THERE IS A LIGHT CHANGE WHEN I PUSH AND HOLD THE BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR AND IT WILL MOVE ABRUPTLY FORWARD. *TR
