AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE TO MY DESTINATION AND SHUTTING IT OFF. IT WILL NOT RESTART WHEN I GO TO DRIVE IT TO THE NEXT LOCATION .THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. IT HAS LEFT ME STRANDED A COUPLE TIMES. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE TO A LOCATION THE HEADLIGHTS SEEM TO DIM ON THEIR OWN. AFTER HAVING A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE TIPM CAUSING THE ISSUES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A SNAP SOUND AND NOTICED THAT THE SUN ROOF POPPED OFF THE TRACK. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT EXITED THE HIGHWAY IMMEDIATELY TO CHECK THE CRACK IN THE SUN ROOF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PALMEN MOTORS (5431 75TH ST, KENOSHA, WI 53142, (262) 671-1935) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE RESULTS WERE NOT DISCLOSED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE PART WAS NO LONGER MANUFACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND WAS IN THE PROCESS OF FINDING PARTS FOR THE SUN ROOF. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000. ..*BF *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SKY VIEW RETRACTABLE SUN ROOF FAILED TO OPEN AND CLOSE PROPERLY. JIM SHORKEY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FIAT (13230 US-30, NORTH HUNTINGDON, PA 15642, (412) 872-2400) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INDICATED THE EXTENSIVE NATURE OF THE REPAIR, BUT HAD NOT REMEDIED THE FAILURE IN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME.

JEEP WILL JUST DIE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, ENGINE SHUTS OFF, GOT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SAFELY, THE SECOND TIME WAS ABLE TO GET INTO A PARKING LOT ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON WIPERS CAME ON WHILE IN THE OFF POSITION, WINDOWS STOPPED WORKING LOCKS STOPPED WORKING, FUEL GAUGE SAID EMPTY WHEN ITS FULL IF THIS HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY COULD BE LIFE THREATENING AS EVERYTHING STOPS WORKING POWER STEERING BRAKES

THE TIPM(TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) HAS STICKING OR DEFECTIVE RELAYS, FAILS TO PROPERLY WORK ON FACTORY INSTALLED TRAILER HITCH, AND NOW REAR BRAKING LIGHTS STAYING ON, CAUSING A DEAD BATTERY. I HAD TO PULL A FUSE TO STOP THIS. THE TIPM HAS HAD A LONG HISTORY OF MANUFACTURING DEFECTS IN OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES WHICH WERE RECALLED, REPLACED BY MFR. I RECOMMEND THE SAME FOR THIS MODEL.

SKY SLIDER BLOWS UP WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, IT IS VERY NOISY, AND WHEN TAKEN TO JEEP DEALERSHIP, THEY SAY THE PARTS NECESSARY TO FIX IT ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE. WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO AN AUTO GLASS SHOT AND HAVE IT GLUED SHUT. I FEEL LIKE I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO HAVE IT GLUED SHUT, THERE GOES THE WHOLE VALUE OF THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS DEFINITELY VERY DANGEROUS AND RATHER INCONVENIENT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS.

HEAT DOES NOT WORK. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP WHO REPORTS THE JEEP NEEDS HEATER CORE, RADIATOR AND POSSIBLE DISTRIBUTION HOUSING.

IN DEC 2018, MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED IN MY GARAGE FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS AND WHEN I WENT TO DRIVE IT, IT DID NOT MOVE ONCE I PUT IT IN REVERSE. I LOOKED UNDERNEATH AND THERE WAS TRANSMISSION FLUID ON THE GROUND. I HAD MY JEEP TOWED AND MY MECHANIC STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION PAN WAS RUSTED OUT AND SENT ME A PICTURE. HAD MY TRANSMISSION PAN REPLACED AND MY JEEP ON HAD A LITTLE OVER 43,000 MILES.

MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR TO MY 2012 JEEP LIBERTY CAUGHT FIRE. THE DOOR STARTED TO SMOKE ONCE I STARTED THE IGNITION. I SMELLED A BURNING SMELL AND THEN I NOTICE SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW SEAL. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. I NOTICE THE SMOKE CONTINUED TO WORSEN EVEN THOUGH I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. THE SMOKE BECAME SMALL FLAME QUICKLY. I CRAWLED TO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR TO EXIT. I CALLED 911 THE FIRE DEPT WAS DISPATCHED TO PUT OUT THE FIRE. ONCE THEY GOT THERE THEY REMOVED THE BATTERY CABLES FROM THE BATTERY UNDER THE HOOD SPRAYED THE WHOLE ENTIRE JEEP INSIDE AND OUT. ITS WAS SCARY TO KNOW SOMETHING I WORK SO HARD TO HAVE AND PAY FOR CAUGHT ON FIRE LIKE THAT. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I WAS DRIVING AROUND IN SOMETHING THAT WAS A FIRE HAZARD AND UNSAFE. THANK GOD I SURVIVED THROUGH SOMETHING SO DANGEROUS. ALL OF THIS TOOK PLACE ON A CITY STREET. I WASN'T ABLE TO RECOVER MUCH OF MY BELONGINGS BECAUSE OF ALL THE WATER THAT WAS USED BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO PUT THE FIRE OUT.
