2008 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

I HAVE SEVERAL DIFFERENT ISSUES WITH MY 08 JEEP LIBERTY. THE LOCKS RANDOMLY LOCK AND UNLOCK. WHEN I USE THE LOCK BUTTON ON THE TRANSMITTER, IT'LL UNLOCK THE DOORS SOMETIMES RIGHT AFTER OR AT SOME POINT WHEN PARKED. THE HEADLIGHTS RANDOMLY COME ON AND GO OFF WHEN PARKED. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM ALSO RANDOMLY ACTIVATES ON DRY PAVEMENT AND EVEN THROWS THE FRONT END OUT OF ALIGNMENT BECAUSE IT WILL BRAKE ONE WHEEL. I'VE ALMOST HAD SEVERAL ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS ENGAGING. ALSO, WHEN THE TRACTION/STABILITY CONTROL ENGAGES THERE'S A NOISE FROM THE BRAKE SYSTEM FOLLOWED BY SMOKE AT WHATEVER WHEEL IT'S TRYING TO BRAKE. I TOOK IT INTO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED MY FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS AND THAT HASN'T FIXED THE PROBLEM. NOW THEY ARE SAYING I NEED A NEW DRAFT SHAFT, TIE RODS AND A COUPLE OTHER FRONT END PIECES. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT'S WHERE THE PROBLEMS ARE COMING FROM. IT'S A SCARY SITUATION DRIVING THIS BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF I'M GOING TO MAKE IT WHERE I'M GOING BECAUSE THE STEERING CAN LOSE CONTROL BECAUSE OF THE TRACTION SYSTEM. ALSO, IT'S DEVELOPED A MAJOR LEAK IN THE HATCH AREA BY THE TOP PLASTIC PIECES WHERE IT RAINS AND THE BACK FLOOR LOOKS LIKE A SWIMMING POOL AFTER IT RAINS. I TOLD THE DEALER BUT THEY HAVE YET TO TELL ME IF THEY FOUND OUT WHY IT'S LEAKING. I ALSO REPLACED THE BLOWER FAN AND RELAY FOR THE AC THINKING THAT IT WILL FIX AN ISSUE WHERE THE AIR IN THE VENTS ARE BARELY BLOWING. NO FIX. AC IS WEAK. THE HEAT WORKS BEST WHEN IN MOTION. HEAT WILL HEAT UP WHILE DRIVING AND I FEEL LIKE I'M BEING BOILED ALIVE. HAVE TO KEEP ON HIGH TO GET ANY AIR OUT OF THE VENTS, HOWEVER. THE TRANSMISSION IS CLUNKY SHIFTING AND THE FLUID HAS BEEN CHANGED. POWER STEERING IS DIFFICULT TO TURN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE SUN ROOF WAS UNSECURED AND A RATTLING NOISE WAS PRESENT. WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN, WATER LEAKED INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE FROM THE UNSECURED SUN ROOF. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. *TT*JB

THE SKYSLIDER FEATURE ON THE 2008-2012 JEEP LIBERTYS ARE A MONUMENTAL SAFETY HAZARD. I PURCHASED MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY ON MARCH 15TH 2017. WITHIN 2 WEEKS AFTER BUYING THE SKYSLIDERS PINS BROKE AND THE SKYSLIDER FLEW BACK COVERING MY BACK WINDOW. IF I HAD NOT PULLED OVER THE SLIDER COULD HAVE COMPLETELY DETACHED AND CAUSED A MAJOR MULTI-VEHICLE COLLISION. I DISCOVERED THAT THE PINS WEAR EASILY BROKEN BECAUSE THEY ARE MADE OF PLASTIC. I AM APPALLED THAT THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A RECALL AND THE MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO CORRECT THIS, ESPECIALLY AFTER READING COUNTLESS FORUMS OF THOSE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE.

SKYSLIDER - THE SKY SLIDER REAR DRIVE ASSEMBLY IS BROKEN. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM, I KNOW MANY OTHERS THAT ARE HAVING TO DEAL WITH THIS. EVEN GOING OVER 20 MPH IT STARTS FLAPPING IN THE WIND. ALSO IT LETS WATER IN, MOSTLY WHEN IT RAINS. COME ON FIX THIS. I HAVE TO TARP MY CAR EVERY DAY JUST SO THE WATER DOESN'T GET IN AND GET MOLD.

THE SKYSLIDER ROOF ON MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY IS BROKEN AND HAS BEEN FOR YEARS. I HAD IT FIXED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY, BUT IT BROKE SEVERAL MONTHS LATER AFTER MY WARRANTY EXPIRED. NOW I HAVE BEEN QUOTED $4000.00 TO REPAIR IT AGAIN. IT CAME OFF THE TRACKS WHILE DRIVING AND STARTED FLAPPING IN THE AIR. WATER LEAKS IN THE CAR EVEN WHEN THE ROOF WORKED. THE ROOF COMES OFF THE TRACKS AND THEN BREAKS THE CABLE THAT RUNS IT. YOU CAN BE STATIONARY OR MOVING. THE SECOND ISSUE IS THE WHEEL SPEED SENSORS GO OUT FREQUENTLY, AND DISABLES YOUR 4 WHEEL DRIVE. SO, IF A SENSOR GOES OUT WHILE YOU ARE OFF ROADING, YOU ARE STUCK..... THATS REALLY NOT COOL IF YOU ARE IN A SECLUDED PLACE WITH NO ONE AROUND TO HELP AND ZERO CELL SERVICE. JUST SOME REALLY DUMB ENGINEERING, AND TOTALLY UNSAFE.

THE SECURITY HORN WILL GO OFF FOR NO REASON AND IF YOU PLACE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION THAT WONT STOP IT. I HAVE READ SEVERAL REVIEWS AND OTHER HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. IT COST ME $380.00 TO GET A NEW KEY FOB AND THE RESET THE COMPUTER SYSTEM.

THE SKYSLIDER ROOF IS UNHINGED, IT FLIPS OPEN WHEN DRIVING AS LOW AS 25MPH. THE ROOF DOES NOT CLOSE PROPERLY. IT HAD BEEN REPLACED BY THE FIRST OWNER. BUGS AND WATER COME INTO THE VEHICLE. IT IS CURRENTLY BEING HELD DOWN WITH 2X4S AND BUNGEE CORDS.

FRONT BRAKES COME ON WHILE DRIVING AND ABS CAUSES FRONT END TO SHAKE. BRAKES ARE SO HOT THE THE PADS ARE BURNING. THE VEHICLE HAS NO POWER BECAUSE THE FRONT BRAKES ARE BOTH BEING APPPIED

THE SKY SLIDER ROOF OF THE TRAIL RATED 2008 JEEP LIBERTY IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY CAUSING WATER TO COME INTO THE VEHICLE AND STAINING THE INTERIOR. IT ALSO HAS WIND HITTING IT ENOUGH TO PUSH BACK AND EVENTUALLY FALL OFF GOING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS A HAZARD FOR EVERYONE ON THE ROAD.

THE PROBLEMS STARTED WITH THE NEW BATTERY GOING DEAD FOR NO REASON UNTIL I INSTALLED SECURITY CAMERAS ON OUR HOUSE AND SAW THE HEAD LIGHTS WOULD RANDOMLY TURN ON AND OFF RUNNING THE BATTERY DEAD WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. THEN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD COME ON AND NOT TURN OFF AND SOMETIMES THE CAR WOULDN'T START AND WHEN IT DID ON THESE EVENTS IT WOULD SHAKE ACTING LIKE IT WAS RUNNING OUT OF GAS
