2008 Jeep Liberty complaints

THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW ON MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY FELL DOWN A FEW DAYS AGO. WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN TO GET FIXED, I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND, BECAUSE OF THAT, THE PART HAD BEEN REDESIGNED AND I WOULD NOW NEED A NEW WINDOW AS WELL, TOTALING OVER $800. MY WARRANTY JUST ELAPSED LESS THAN 6,000 MILES AGO. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THIS WOULD LIKELY BE RECALLED EVENTUALLY BUT THAT DOESN'T HELP ME WHILE MY WINDOW IS BEING HELD UP WITH DUCT TAPE BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE AN EXTRA $800 TO FIX IT AT THE MOMENT. *TR

PURCHASED USED JEEP LIBERTY FOR MY DAUGHTER. 2008 MODEL WITH 25,000 MILES. HAD JEEP 1 YEAR AND 2ND WINDOW MOTOR JUST WENT OUT WHILE ON VACATION. STOPPED AT MECH. SHOP ON VACATION TO GET WINDOW UP UNTIL I COULD GET HOME AND HE SAID HIS SON HAD 3 GO OUT. TALKED TO 2 PEOPLE AT HOTEL WHO HAD THEIR WINDOW TAPPED UP FOR SAME THING. LOOKING ON INTERNET I AM AMAZED ON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS. HOW MANY HAVE TO BREAK BEFORE JEEP MAKES THIS GOOD? *TR

VEHICLE FEELS LOOSE IN REAR, SWAYS AT 40 MPH AND GETS WORST AT HIGHER SPEEDS STEERING WHEEL SHAKES WHEN BRAKING GROOVES ON ROADWAYS HARD TO HANDLE. *TR

MY BRAKE LIGHT IS NOT FUNCTIONING. I WENT TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM REPLACE BULB, BUT THE DEALERSHIP CHECKED BULBS AND BULBS WERE GOOD. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOTIFIED ME THAT THERE IS A WIRING ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. IF MY BRAKE LIGHTS FAIL DURING THE DAY OR NIGHT THIS COULD BE A HUGE LIABILITY TO CHRYSLER. I HAVE TO GO BACK TO DEALER WHEN I HAVE MORE TIME. THEY SAID THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE TIME TO FIX IT TODAY. I HOPE THAT THIS IS TAKEN CARE OF ASAP. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY JEEP LIBERTY DOES NOT DEFOG PROPERLY. AT OUTDOOR TEMPS BELOW -13 C. IT BEGINS TO ICE UP AND WILL GET TO THE POINT WHERE YOU CANNOT SEE OUT OF THE SIDE WINDOWS. IT HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALER SIX TIMES. THE LAST TIME THEY SAID THEY HAD REPLACED THE ENTIRE HEATING SYSTEM. THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE ENGINEERS AT CHRYSLER CANADA TOLD ME THE SYSTEM IS EXTREMELY SENSITIVE TO MOISTURE; SO IF THERE ARE WET BOOTS OR A HOCKEY BAG IN THE VEHICLE THE SYSTEM WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. CONSIDERING I LIVE IN NORTHERN ONTARIO THIS SOUNDS A LITTLE STRANGE TO ME. I DID KEEP THE RECORDED MESSAGE FROM CHRYSLER COSTUMER SERVICE. *TR

UPON REMOVAL OF FUEL NOZZLE FROM THE TANK, AFTER FILLING THE TANK, ABOUT TWO CUPS OF FUEL BURP OUT OF THE TANK ONTO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND GROUND. HAPPENS AT ALL STATIONS, ONLY WAY TO AVOID IT IS TO NOT FILL THE TANK OR LET THE FUEL NOZZLE SIT FOR A MINUTE OR TWO BEFORE REMOVAL. I HAVE RETURNED VEHICLE TO DEALER WITH THIS COMPLAINT THREE TIMES WITH NO REPAIR ACTION TAKEN BY THE DEALER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 60 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECAME STUCK IN THE OPEN THROTTLE POSITION. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. LATER, WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 60 MPH, THE FAILURE OCCURRED A SECOND TIME. THE CONTACT STATED THE BRAKES WOULD NOT ENGAGE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 26,000.

2008 JEEP LIBERTY. CONSUMER STATES TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE TIRE VALVES FAILED TWICE. THE FIRST VALVE WAS REPLACED RELUCTANTLY AND HE WAS TOLD THAT THE SECOND VALVE WOULD NOT BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE IT WAS CRACKED. THE CONSUMER STATED HE WAS UNABLE TO INFLATE THE TIRE. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH A CHIME SOUNDED INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE COULD POSSIBLY BE RELATED TO THE FUEL INDICATOR. WHENEVER GASOLINE WAS DISPENSED INTO THE FUEL TANK, THE FUEL SPRAYED OUT FROM THE INTAKE SPOUT. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON FIFTEEN SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE FUEL TANK REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

2008 JEEP LIBERTY WINDOW REGULATOR BREAKAGE

GAS OVERFLOWS FROM THE GAS TANK EVERY TIME I PUT GAS INTO THE CAR. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

I HAVE 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE PROBLEM 1) THE DEFROSTERS ARE TO CENTRALLY LOCATED AND DO NOT CLEAR ICE AND SNOW OFF THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD. 2) THE FRONT TURNING SIGNALS GET COVERED WITH SNOW AND NEED TO BE CLEANED OFF EVERYTIME THERE IS ANY SNOW. THE SNOW LAYS ON THE FRONT BUMPER AND COVERS THE TURNING SIGNALS. BOTH OF THESE ARE HAZARDS. *TR

2008 JEEP LIBERTY, 4X2 WITH TOW - HAUL MODE, ON 2/12/2010 POWER TRAIN: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION: CONTROL MODULE (COMPLETELY BURNT) TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT, SEIZED IN GEAR; I.E. DRIVING 45MPH = 4000RPM'S. WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO OVERDRIVE. TOWING 9X12 U-HAUL TRAILER WITH LESS THEN 300 LBS IN UNIT. *TR

FUEL TANK OVERFLOWING EVERYTIME FILL UP. IT OCCURS EVERYTIME THEY FILL UP THE LIBERTY. *TR

I WAS PARKING MY JEEP LIBERTY AT THE JEEP DEALER. I HAD AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE ENGINE CHECKED BECAUSE OF A MALFUNCTION LIGHT THAT WOULD NOT GO OUT AFTER STARTING THE CAR. I HAD PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE AND THEN BACKED UP TO STRAIGHTEN THE VEHICLE OUT IN THE SPACE. WHEN I STARTED TO PULL INTO THE PARKING SPACE AGAIN THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD STRIKING THE DEALERSHIP BUILDING DAMAGING THE CONCRETE BLOCK STRUCTURE, DAMAGE TO THE FRONT BUMPER LIGHTS, AND FRONT FENDERS. THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED TO ME. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED AND I WILL ATTEMPT TO HAVE ALL SENSORS AND PARTS AVAILABLE RETURNED TO ME. *TR

BOUGHT BRAND NEW CAR LAST YEAR JEEP LIBERTY WITH GOOD YEAR TIRES. WITHIN 15,000 THE TIRE IS DEFECTED. GOOD YEAR COULD NOT TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE TIRE AND NEITHER COULD FIRESTONE FOR ANOTHER OPINION SAID THAT IT WAS NOT ABLE TO BE FIXED AND HAD TO SPEND $180 TO GET A NEW TIRE. GOODYEAR WOULD NOT REPLACE THE TIRE OR DO ANYTHING BECAUSE OF THEIR WARRANTY POLICY. 15,000 MILES ON A TIRE IS NOT WARRANTED ENOUGH. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN SEPTEMBER 2008. DURING THE WINTER MONTHS THE DEFROST OPERATES AT 10% AND FAILED TO COMPLETELY DEFROST THE WINDSHIELDS. TWO DEALERS STATED THAT DUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE THEY ARE UNABLE TO MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. ONLY 2 TO 3 INCHES OF THE WINDOW WAS CLEARED FROM THE DASH BOARD. THE CONTACT WAS WILLING TO PAY THE REPAIR COST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 37000.

I JUST RETURNED FROM ALEXANDER CHRYSLER JEEP IN FRANKLIN, TN 615-794-5000. THEY TRIED TO BLAME A VACUUM HOSE FOR LETTING GASOLINE FUMES IN THE CABIN OF THE 2008 JEEP LIBERTY TO AVOID A WARRANTY FIX. THIS IS WHERE THE MY HEALTH AND SAFETY COMPLAINT COMES IN. MY WIFE HAS BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT BEING SICK WITH HEADACHES AND STOMACH PAIN FOR MONTHS. ORIGINALLY WE TOOK THE JEEP IN FOR "GAS CAP" WARNING ON THE ODOMETER AND ENGINE LIGHT. NOTHING WAS FOUND. TODAY I TOOK THE JEEP IN AN ALEXANDER FOUND A CLEARLY ABRADED OR DETERIORATED VACUUM HOSE THAT THEY SAID COULD ALLOW THE GAS FUMES INTO THE CABIN. MY WIFE HAS BEEN BREATHING THIS FOR MONTHS AND IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THIS EXPOSES OCCUPANTS TO TOXIC FUMES AND RISKS AN EXPLOSION HAZARD IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED ASAP. IF YOU CAN CONTACT ME ASAP I CAN LET YOU SEE THIS HOSE AS IT SITS. *TR

REFERENCE NHTSA ITEM # 10023638. *TR

2008 JEEP LIBERTY 4X4 SKYSLIDER ROOF DOES NOT SEAL BACK DOWN WHEN CLOSED AND CAUSES SEVERE WIND NOISE AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. I'VE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER TWICE. THE FIRST TIME THEY JUST ADJUSTED IT, THE SECOND THEY ORDERED IN A NEW MODULATOR. BOTH TIMES IT SOLVED THE PROBLEM FOR A DAY OR TWO AND THEN BACK TO THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS SUN ROOF. THEY HAVE NOT SOLD ALOT OF JEEPS WITH THE SKYSLIDER, SO THE COMPLAINTS MAY BE FEW, BUT I HAVE TALKED TO A COUPLE OWNERS AND THEY HAVE ALL HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

JEEP LIBERTY 08, ENGINE HESITATE AND RUNS ROUGH WHEN DRIVING AT A STEADY 42-MPH AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE. TEST WAS PERFORMED BY TECH AND CONCERN WAS VERIFIED. TECH CONTACTED ENGINEERS AND WAS ADVISED TO REPLACED TORQUE CONVERTER. TORQUE CON. WAS REPLACED BUT STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. NOTHING CHANGED. THIS IS THE SECOND ATTEMPT TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. FIRST ON JANUARY AND NOW IN APRIL 14, 2009. VEHICLE BOUGHT ON NOVEMBER 28, 2008. *TR

SIGNAL LIGHT FAILS TO TURN OFF IMMEDIATELY WHEN RETURNED TO THE NEUTRAL OFF) POSITION. DURING THE WINTER, THE TURN SIGNAL ON AN 18 DEG. F. MORNING WOULD NOT TURN OFF TILL I HAD DRIVEN FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES. I CARRIED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP (ABOUT 25 MILES AWAY) BUT THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO RECREATE THE FAILURE. HOWEVER, NOW THE SIGNAL DOES THE SAME ON WARMER DAYS BUT DOES NOT ALWAYS HAPPEN AND IS NOT PREDICTABLE. *TR

WHEN DRIVING THE JEEP UP HILL THE JEEP WILL DROP ITS SPEED TREMENDOUSLY FROM 65 OR 70 TO 40 OR EVEN 30 MPH. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT UP A HILL. IN HEAVY HIGHWAY IT IS DANGEROUS. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT'S HOW THEY ALL OPERATE AND AFTER CHECKING THE VEHICLE NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP TO JUST PUSH THE ACCELERATOR DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND THIS MAY HELP. THIS PROCESS IS ALSO VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE WHEN YOU GET PAST THE HILL THE CAR IS THEN MOVING AT A HIGH SPEED WHICH IS ALSO DANGEROUS. SINCE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THE DEALERSHIP STATES CANNOT BE CORRECTED. CONSUMERS SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THIS MALFUNCTION OF THIS VEHICLE. ROAD TRIPS ARE NOT SAFE IF YOU DRIVE UPHILL. NOTHING WILL BE DONE UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS. UNFORTUNATELY CHRYSLER WILL CONTINUE TO SWEEP THIS UNDER THE RUG UNTIL THEN. I ALSO CONTACTED CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR CHRYSLER WHICH WAS A WASTE OF TIME DUE TO THE FACT THAT I WAS HUNG UP ON AND REFUSED A MANAGER AS WELL AS ANY ONE OF AUTHORITY. I WOULD LIKE A RESOLUTION TO THIS TYPE OF DEFECT WHICH IS NOT A NORMAL OPERATION OF ANY VEHICLE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT MANY CUSTOMERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS AND OBVIOUSLY NOTHING IS GOING TO BE DONE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE CAR IS SAFE AND A REPRESENTATIVE FROM CHRYSLER VERIFIED THAT KNOWING THAT THE VEHICLE HAS A PROBLEM WITH HILLS. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT THE BODY IS TOO HEAVY FOR A 4 CYLINDER ENGINE. UNFORTUNATELY CHRYSLER DOES NOT MAKE THE CONSUMERS AWARE OF THIS BEFORE PURCHASING T

WITHIN THE INTERIOR OF THE JEEP THERE ARE STRESS POINTS WHERE THE PLASTIC WAS MOLDED, AND DUE TO THE CHEAP NATURE OF THE PLASTIC WHERE THE STRESS POINTS (PLASTIC CLIP AREAS) ARE LOCATED THERE ARE DISCOLORATION SPOTS FORMING IN THE PLASTIC INTERIOR IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS WITHIN THE INTERIOR OF THE JEEP. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND A COMPLETE FAILURE OF QUALITY CONTROL. *TR

WATER MARK DISCOLORATION ON THE CLOTH SEATS OF THE 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. ANY FORM OF CONDENSATION, SWEAT OR EVEN RAIN WATER WILL CAUSE THESE SEATS TO STAIN. STAINS REMAIN EVEN AFTER THE SEATS HAVE DRIED. *TR

I AM ON MY SECOND FRONT WINDSHIELD FOR MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. WITHIN 2000 MILES OF DRIVING MY NEW JEEP, THE FRONT WINDSHIELD DEVELOPED A MYRIAD OF TINY "POCK MARKS". THE MARKS BECAME SO NUMEROUS THAT VISIBILITY BEGAN TO DIMINISH, ESPECIALLY WITH A STRONG SUN GLARE. THE WINDSHIELD SUBSEQUENTLY CRACKED AT THE 13000 MILE POINT AND WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP WITH A FACTORY WINDOW. THE NEW FRONT WINDOW HAS APPROX 1000 MILES ON IT AND IT DEVELOPING THE SAME MARKS. I DO NOT WORK IN AN INDUSTRIAL ENVIRONMENT AND THE JEEP IS ALWAYS GARAGED AT HOME. *TR

I WAS IN TRAFFIC & ANOTHER CAR CAME DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO HITTING ME. I WAS USING MY HORN AND MID-WAY THROUGH IT STOPPED WORKING. THE HORN WAS INOPERABLE FOR 3-5 MINUTES. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN THE NEXT DAY. *TR

SKY SLIDER ROOF DOES NOT STAY TIGHT TO FRAME AND ALSO HAS SERIOUS WIND NOISE. *TR

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.

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
