2008 Jeep Liberty complaints

THE FUEL TANK SUPPORT RUSTS OUT FROM THE INSIDE TO A POINT THAT IT SEEMS VERY UNLIKELY IT WOULD BE STRUCTURALLY SOUND IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. IT IS VERY CONCERNING THAT THIS WOULD NOT PUNCTURE THE TANK AND BE A CAUSE OF FIRE INSTEAD OF PROTECTING THE TANK AS IT IS MARKETED TO DO. THERE HAS BEEN NO INCIDENT YET, BUT AFTER AN ACCIDENT WOULD NOT BE THE TIME TO FIND OUT. CHRYSLER HAS REVIEWED THIS AND WILL NOT TAKE ACTION.

AMONGST OTHER ISSUES: VEHICLE FAILS TO START OCCASIONALLY, FROM BOTH COLD AND WARM STATES. FROM COMPLETELY OFF, TURNING THE KEY BEGINS IGNITION BUT OFTEN DOES NOT START THE VEHICLE. ENGINE SPUTTERS BUT DOES NOT COMPLETE THE START. ON SOME OCCASIONS, DEPRESSING THE GAS PEDAL WHILE TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE WORKS, LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THIS IS ONE OF THE WIDELY REPORTED TIPM ISSUES PLAGUING JEEPS FROM 2007-2014. I CONCLUDE THE FUEL PUMP FAILS TO RECEIVE A SIGNAL TO START FROM THE TIPM WHICH CAUSES THE IGNITION FAILURE. IN ADDITION, I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL ISSUES INCLUDING DOORS LOCKING AND UNLOCKING WHEN THE OPPOSITE CORRESPONDING BUTTONS ARE PRESSED, WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURNING ON WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL IS USED, WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD REPORTING NON-ISSUES, FAILURE OF POWER STEERING, AND FAILURE TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

MY CAR HAS BEEN HONKING AND ALL THE WINDOW WIPERS GO OFF SPORADICALLY WHEN DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY, IN STANDSTILL TRAFFIC AND STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS. IT IS NOT ONLY EMBARRASSING BUT IT MAKES US NERVOUS THAT THE ISSUE COULD GET WORSE AND LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT IN THE FUTURE. WE TOOK IT TO PEP BOYS AND WERE TOLD THEY CAN'T DIAGNOSE IT. I THEN CONTACTED CRYSLER AND THEY JUST TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP. I DID AND THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT BUT SENT US A QUOTE FOR $3500 WORTH OF OTHER STUFF WE DON'T NEED FIXED! MY HUSBAND JUST PICKED UP THE CAR AND IT HONKED/WINDOW WIPERED 3 TIMES IN A 15 MINUTE RIDE HOME. WE ARE EXPECTING OUR FIRST BABY ANY DAY NOW AND ARE VERY NERVOUS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE CAR. NO ONE IS WILLING TO HELP AT THIS POINT.

THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, MOST RECENTLY ON SEPT. 5, 2016. THE CAR HONKS MULTIPLE TIMES AND ALL THE WINDOW WIPERS START GOING. THIS HAS OCCURED WHILE IN STAND STILL TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY, ON CITY STREETS AND WHEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT.

INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. WHEN STARTING CAR, WIPERS COME ON AND TURN SIGNALS FAIL TO WORK. THE ONLY WAY TO GET WIPERS TO STOP IS TO PULL THE FUSE. TURN SIGNALS REMAIN INOPERABLE. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR OVER 2 YEARS. HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES. DEALER CLAIMS THEY CANNOT LOCATE A PROBLEM; HOWEVER, THERE CLEARLY IS A PROBLEM. DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING CAR WITH WIPERS GOING AND NO TURN SIGNALS. WE HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAINING ON. VERY DISTRACTING TO DRIVER AT NIGHT. AGAIN, TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AND THEY CANNOT FIND A PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP ISSUE OCCURS WHILE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. WE DRIVE CITY AND HIGHWAY STREETS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUN ROOF FAILED TO CLOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

STARTED CAR, STOPPED AT LIGHT, MADE A TURN. HORN STARTED BLARING, FRONT AND REAR WIPERS WENT ON WITH SPRAY IN REAR, DASHBOARD LIGHTS WENT CRAZY. PULLED INTO "GREASE MONKEY" PUT IT IN PARK, WOULDN'T TURN OFF, TOOK OUT KEY, STILL RUNNING. GREASE MONKEY EMPLOYEE REMOVED FUSE TO STOP HORN, BUT EVERYTHING ELSE WAS STILL GOING, EVEN AFTER DISCONNECTING BATTERY. AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES (WHILE WAITING FOR AAA), ENGINE STARTING SMOKING. NOT SURE WHAT HE DID, BUT EMPLOYEE FINALLY GOT IT TO TURN OFF. THERE WAS ALSO SOMETHING DRIPPING UNDER THE CAR. AAA TOWED IT TO THE CLOSEST AAA-APPROVED MECHANIC. DIAGNOSIS: TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED TO THE TUNE O $1400.00. I FEEL THIS DEFINITELY CREATED AN UNSAFE CONDITION, ESPECIALLY IF IT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE I WOULD NOT HAVE HAD IMMEDIATE HELP. WHO KNOWS WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED -- AN ACCIDENT, A FIRE?? SINCE IT IS A HOLIDAY WEEKEND AND THE PART HAD TO BE ORDERED, MY CAR WON'T BE WORKED ON UNTIL TUESDAY, 9/6; THEREFORE, I DO NOT HAVE AN INVOICE YET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE SUN ROOF WAS STUCK OPEN AND THE SWITCH FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SKY SLIDER ROOF WAS FRACTURED AND THE ELECTRONIC MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

AIR BAG SENSOR HARNESS UNDER SEAT IS EXPOSED AND PRONE TO BREAK WHEN REAR SEATED PASSENGER(S) ARE IN VEHICLE. I HAVE REPLACED THE WIRING CONNECTORS/WIRING HARNESS 3 TIMES. ONE ON DRIVERS SIDE AND TWICE ON PASSENGER SIDE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE ROAD WHILE MOVING. IF CRUISE CONTROL IS ON IT WILL STOP FUNCTIONING UNTIL THE CAR HAS BEEN SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED.

RETRACTABLE ROOF BROKE WHILE DRIVING AND ALMOST FLEW OFF INTO TRAFFIC. LUCKILY THERE WAS A PASSENGER WHO WAS ABLE TO GRAP IT BEFORE IT FLEW OFF INTO TRAFFIC. A VERY BAD SAFETY ISSUE, COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. TO HAVE IT REPAIRED IT IS $600. WE DID NOT HAVE IT REPAIRED. THEY WERE ABLE TO CLOSE THE ROOF AND DISCONNECT IT. I CALLED JEEP AND THEY WERE NOT VERY NICE AND ARE NOT WILLING TO HELP PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. IF YOU LOOK IT UP ON THE INTERNET MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. WHY WASN'T IT RECALLED.

SEVERE RUSTING OF ALL SUSPENSION COMPONENTS. RF AND LF CV JOINTS RUSTED BEYOND REPAIR. FRONT BRAKE ROTORS BEYOND REPAIR. JEEP DEALERS SAID VEHICLE HAS SEVERE RUSTING AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE. WAS TOLD MAY NOT BE WORTH REPAIRING. MOST JEEP LIBERTIES ARE COVERED UNDER A RECALL EXCEPT 2008. DEALER SAID REPAIRS WOULD BE IN THE THOUSANDS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT LOCKING RECEPTACLE WOULD NOT ATTACH AND LOCK TO THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000.

FIRST OFF, THIS ISSUE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! IT'S ALREADY BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND ALL THEY WANT TO DO IS BEAT AROUND THE BUSH AND WILL NOT REPLACE THE TIPM! THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS TO NOT HAVE A DEVICE TO PROPERLY TEST THE TIPM, AND SAYS ITS OTHER PARTS CAUSING THE ISSUE. MY JEEP'S LIGHTS WON'T WORK CORRECTLY, MY HORN CONSTANTLY BLARES, I'VE SPENT ALMOST A HUNDRED DOLLARS ON WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID BECAUSE THOSE CONSTANTLY SPRAY, AND IT'S BEGINNING TO RUIN PARTS INSIDE OF MY VEHICLE! TODAY THE FUZE BOX WAS SO HOT IT COULD HAVE BEEN ON FIRE! WHY IS THIS NOT RECALLED?! SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE, AND THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO REPLACE THE PART IN FEAR OF HAVING THE RECORD OF IT BEING REPLACED! WE HAVE SPOKE TO COOPERATE AS WELL AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE. ALL IT TAKES IS THE TIPM FREAKING OUT CAUSING A FIRE, OR HEADLIGHTS TO FAIL AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT OR DEATH. THIS NEEDS TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY! I LOVE MY JEEP TO DEATH, BUT TO TAKE MY JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP TO "FIX" THIS ISSUE, SPEND OVER 600 DOLLARS TO REPLACE A MELTED CORD AND A BURNED OUT FAN MOTOR FOR AC/HEAT THAT COULD BE CAUSING THESE ISSUES IS A FREAKING JOKE, WHEN THE FAULTY TIPM CAUSED THE WIRE TO MELT!!

WHILE DRIVING ON JUNE 30, 2016; THE JEEP GOES INTO PANIC MODE, LIGHTS FLASHING, WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORKING, DOOR LOCKS LOCKING AND UNLOCKING, AND HORN SOUNDING AUTOMATICALLY. VEHICLE IS NOT DISARMING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME SINCE FEB 2015. PROBLEM WAS TOLD TO BE CAR BATTERY. BATTERY REPLACED. REMOTE BATTERY WORKS FINE, THIS IS DANGEROUS AND THE PROBLEM KEEPS GETTING REPORTED WITH NO ACTION TAKEN BY JEEP-CHRYSLER FOR RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RETRACTABLE ROOF DETACHED AND LEFT A SEPARATION BETWEEN THE ROOF AND THE VEHICLE WHEN ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ROOF NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,000.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND MY SKYLINE SUNROOF FLEW BACK

AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS FLASHING WHILE DRIVING. JEEP SHAKES AS IF UNSTABLE OR STRUTS THE SUSPENSION AND MY VISIBILITY DUE TO THE DEFROSTER AND WIPERS DON'T WORK PROPERLY.

THREE YEARS AGO, I HAD THE SKY SLIDER ON THE JEEP REPLACED COMPLETELY. ON TUESDAY, JUNE 14, 2016, I OPENED THE SLIDER UP AND IT WOULD NOT CLOSE. I TOOK IT TO BACK TO THE BUSINESS THAT REPLACED THE SKY SLIDER IN 2013, PAYMER & PHILLIPS, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE REPLACED SEVERAL 2008 JEEP LIBERTY SKY SLIDERS. THEY SHOWED ME THE PLASTIC PIECE WHICH WAS BROKEN WHICH IS THE REASON WHY THE SKY SLIDER WHICH IS A CONVERTIBLE TOP, WOULD NOT CLOSE. THE FIRST TIME, THE REPAIRS COST $3362.81. TODAY I WAS TOLD THE REPAIR COST WOULD BE $2768. IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT I CONTACT CHRYSLER AND REPORT THIS INCIDENT AND ASK THEM TO ABSORB THE COST. I HAVE YET TO HEAR FROM A CASE MANAGER AS OF TODAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. EACH TIME IT RAINED, THE SUN ROOF WOULD LEAK WATER INTO THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED THREE TIMES FOR THE SAME FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

I OWN A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY AND EVERY TIME I FILL IT THE FUEL COMES BA K AT ME NOT JUST A LITTLE EITHER IT GEISERS OUT OF THE TANK AND HAVE GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE I HAVE TO STAND UP WIND NOT TO BE SHOWERED IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE I BOUGHT IT

THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON ONLINE FORUMS ON THE JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED EDITION WITH THE SKY SLIDER. BASICALLY, THERE ARE REPORTS ON THE SKY SLIDER COMING OFF THE TRACK AND FLYING OFF OF THE VEHICLE. MY SKY SLIDER PERSONALLY WILL NOT CLOSE BECAUSE OF A "SYSTEM FAULT" JEEP TELLS ME AND ONLY SOME JEEP DEALERSHIPS HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE ON HOW TO FIX A SKY SLIDER. THEY WANT TO CHARGE $3K TO FIX THE ROOF, BUT THEY ARE ACKNOWLEDGING THAT IT IS A CONSISTENT ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE, THAT THE SKY SLIDER WILL NOT CLOSE ALL THE WAY, WHICH RESULTS IN IT COMING OFF AT HIGH SPEEDS.

THE SKYSLIDER ROOF FAILS TO CLOSE. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR SINCE BUYING IT NEW IN 2008. THE SKYSLIDER WAS REPLACED IN JUNE OF 2013 AFTER FAILING TO CLOSE AND MAKING DRIVING UNSAFE DUE TO THE FLAPPING OF THE CLOTH ROOF AT 45 MPH OR HIGHER. ROOF HAS BROKEN AGAIN AS OF MAY 2016 WITH THE SAME ISSUE AFTER ONLY BEING OPENED 5 TIMES. THIS TYPE OF ROOF IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. AT ANY TIME THE CABLES OR PLASTIC FRAME CAN SNAP CAUSING THE ROOF TO PEEL BACK. I WAS AFRAID THE ROOF WAS GOING TO COMPLETELY DIS-ATTACH AND HIT THE CAR BEHIND ME.

I WAS ON MY WAY BACK TO WORK DURING MY LUNCH HOUR DRIVING ON ALEXANDER ST. IN CORPUS CHRISTI TEXAS. THAT STREET HAS SEVERAL DIPS. AS I DROVE OVER ONE OF THE DIPS THE JEEP SUDDENLY ACCELERATED IN SUCH A SPEED THAT I WAS UNABLE TO STOP IT AND IT HIT A PARKED CAR. MY CAR WAS APPROXIMATELY 10 FEET FROM THE PARKED CAR WHICH MADE IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THE ACCIDENT WAS A RESULT OF "SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION" THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO EXPLAIN THIS UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT. WITH ALL THE DIPS ON THAT STREET IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SPEED, ADDITIONALLY IT IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF A SCHOOL WHICH HAS A SPEED LIMIT OF NO MORE THAN 15 MPH. IF THIS HAD OCCURRED IN A DIFFERENT AREA THIS COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC, FATALLY INJURING MYSELF AND FAMILY OR ANOTHER HUMAN BEING. CURRENTLY THE CAR IS AT THIS LOCATION: HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLES/VEHICLEDETAILS.ASPX?ITEMID=21976104 THIS WILL ALLOW YOU TO VIEW ALL PICTURES AND PERHAPS IT CAN BE INSPECTED THOROUGHLY. MAKE A NOTE OF THE ODOMETER, IT READS "ERROR"!. ...UPDATED 06/22/16 * BF

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,656. ...UPDATED 06/30/16 *BF *CN

IT STARTED WITH MY POWER DOOR LOCKS 2 YEARS AGO. THEY QUIT WORKING BUT THE POWER WINDOWS WORKED FINE. WHEN YOU TRIED TO CHANGE THE FUSE IT WOULD POP AND BURN OUT RIGHT AWAY. WE ASSUMED IT WAS A SHORT SOMEWHERE. THEN MY REAR OUTLET QUIT WORKING, MY WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID STOPPED WORKING, AIR BAG LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF AMONG OTHER ISSUES. NOW NOTHING WORKS. THE BATTERY WAS DISCONNECTED SO WE COULD TRY TO RESET THE SYSTEMS AND NOW THE HORN SIRENS CONTINUOUSLY, LIGHT FLASH, WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND FLUID ARE FLYING, DOOR LOCKS THAT WOULD NOT WORK ARE MOVING UP AND DOWN. IT LOOKS LIKE MY JEEP LIBERTY IS POSSESSED! WHY IS THIS NOT RECALLED???? THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE READ THAT IT MAY START WORKING AGAIN BUT IT WILL MALFUNCTION... YOU JUST DON'T KNOW WHEN.

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF MY 08 LIBERTY. I HAVE BEEN USING THE DEALERSHIP FOR ALL MAINTENANCE. I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH MY SKYSLIDER ROOF IN THE PAST WHICH, AFTER 5 YEARS OF HAGGLING, HAS BEEN FIXED. THE PROBLEM I AM HAVEING NOW IS WITH A DYING BATTERY. REPLACED THE BATTERY ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE BATTERY WAS STILL GOOD. NEW BATTERY DOESN'T LAST OVERNIGHT. FOUND THAT THERE COULD BE 3 ISSUES CAUSING IT. RADIO, FUEL PUMP OR TIPM. CD PLAYER BEGAN TO CONSTANTLY EJECT A CD WHEN NO CD WAS PRESENT, SO I PULLED THE RADIO FUSE TO STOP THE DRAIN ON THE BATTERY. NO GOOD! NEXT DAY, DEAD BATTERY. LISTENED TO ANY SOUND THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS RUNNING WHILE ENGINE WAS OFF. DID NOT APPEAR TO BE RUNNING. CHECKED WITH THE JEEP FORUM, WOW WAS I SHOCKED! LIBERTYS HAVE NOTHING BUT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE TIPM. CHRYSLER/JEEP/FIAT HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT HAVE NOT DONE A RECALL, CAUSING ALL IT'S CUSTOMERS HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS T REPAIR A KNOWN ISSUE. CLASS ACTION SUIT ONLY PUSHED THEM TO REPAIR TIPM'S FROM 2010 AND UP VEHICLES LEAVING EVERYONE ELSE HIGH AND DRY. I NOW NEED TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY CABLE EVERY NIGHT SO THE CARE STARTS IN THE MORNING. DEALER WILL DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, AT COST AND THEN FIX THE PROBLEM, AT COST, PLUS LABOR. ALL ON A VEHICLE WITH 83,000 MILES. IN THE LAST YEAR, I HAVE REPLACED THE PCM, ECM, 4 O2 SENSORS AND CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. THANKS TO THE GOVERNMENTS EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY OF 8/80,000, THEY WERE COVERED. THE TIPM IS NOT! WHEN ISSUE IS CONFIRMED BY THE D

REAR CALIPER IS LOCKING UP CAUSING THE BURN TO THAT PAD AND THE ROTOR . VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION.

LAST FEBRUARY MY JEEP STARTED ACTING FUNNY. THE HORN, WIPERS, FLUID, RAIDO, SEAT, AND LIGHTS ALL WENT CRAZY WHILE DRIVING. THINKING THAT IT WAS A BATTERY OR SPARK PLUG ISSUE I REPLACED BOTH. NO LUCK. THE NEXT DAY I STATED MY CAR ABS THE HORN WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND HAD IT TOWED FOR DIAGNOSIS. TIPM GOOD I WAS TOLD. 2 DAYS LATER SAME THING. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO ANOTHER MECHANIC BUT THIS TIME ASKED TO SEE THE SCHEMATICS. THERE IS ONLY ONE COMMON COMPONENT THE TIPM. NO ENGINE ISSUES FOUND, TIPM TESTED FOR A WEEK, NO RESULTS. GOT MY CAR BACK AND ONE WEEK LATER RECORDED THE CAR DOING EXACTLY WHAT I HAD STATED. THIS SYSTEM ONLY HAS 1 CHECK WITH RESULTS EITHER GOOD OR BAD. I LOOKED UP RECALLS-NONE, CALLED JEEP AND COMPLAINED ABOUT HOW DANGEROUS THIS IS. I'M NOT INCREDIBLY TALL SO FOR MY SEAT TO MOVE ITSELF BACKWARDS WHILE DRIVING WAS SCAREY! I ENDED UP GOING TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP CONVINCED THIS WAS THE ISSUE AND HAD THE BOX REPLACED AND SYSTEM RESET. ONE YR LATER STILL NO ISSUES. I STILL HAVE THE VIDEOS AS PROOF OF THIS CLAIM. PLEASE REALIZE ALL TIMES THIS HAPPENED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE HORN GOING OFF, BATTERY DISCONNECTED, I WAS DRIVING ON THE HWY GOING INTO STREET TRAFFIC. ONLY ONCE WAS THE WEATHER INCREDIBLY BAD; RAINING TO THE POINT OF FLOODING. BECAUSE I LIVE IN UPSTATE NY THERE WAS ALSO SNOW AND ICE PRESENT. DUE TO MY VEHICLE ACTING UP, I CHOSE NOT TO TAKE MY NIECE'S OVER THE WEEKEND AS I TYPICALLY DID. BEING RESPONSIBLE I COULDN'T LET SOMETHING

PURCHASED VEHICLE USED IN 2013 11/17/2015 1. ENGINE CONTINUES TO RUN WHEN KEY IS REMOVED FROM IGNITION SWITCH. WHILE PARKED. FIRST NOTICED LAST WEEK 11/08/2015 (ONLY AS LONG AS THE PRESET TIME ON THE RADIO SHUT OFF OR THE DOOR IS OPENED) 2. WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET AND GOING UP HILL, TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTS TO MAINTAIN SPEED. WHILE TRYING TO KEEP SPEED UP AND THEN BREAK APPLIED, EXCESSIVE FORCE IS REQUIRED TO DIS-ENGAGE CRUISE CONTROL. WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEEDS. FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER. (BREAK SWITCH HAS BEEN CHANGED TWICE) 3. WHILE FILLING FUEL TANK AT GAS STATION, PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE PUMP, FUEL WILL POUR OUT FROM THE FILLER NECK AFTER THE PUMP HAS SHUT OFF. FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER. (MANY OCCASIONS) 4. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY ON. POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO HOSES ON EMISSIONS CANISTER IN LEFT REAR WHEEL WELL DUE TO GAS SPILLAGE? (AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER) 5. GAS CAP INDICATOR COMES ON AT START. POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO HOSES ON EMISSIONS CANISTER IN LEFT REAR WHEEL WELL DUE TO GAS SPILLAGE? (NEED TO MANUALLY TURN OFF, CHANGED GAS CAP TWICE) 6. IT SEEMS THAT ALL THINGS ELECTRICAL HAVE A DELAY TO THEIR FUNCTION, FLASHING HIGH BEAMS, HONKING HORN... WHILE PARKED OR DRIVING. FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER. (ALL OF THE TIME)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE SKY SLIDER SUNROOF SLID OFF THE TRACK AND INDEPENDENTLY OPENED HALFWAY. THE SKY SLIDER SUNROOF ALSO FAILED TO FUNCTION WHEN ACTIVATED. IN ADDITION, THE WINDOW CONTROLS ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE SKY SLIDER SUNROOF NEEDED TO BE PUT BACK ON TRACK. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

THIS IS OUR SECOND PROBLEM SINCE 2010 WHEN WE PURCHASED VEHICLE THAT THE SLIDER SUNROOF HAS COME OFF IT'S TRACKS. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS ABOUT A MONTH AFTER WE PURCHASED IT AND COST 1400.00 TO FIX NOW FOR NO REASON IT JUST POPPED OFF AND BOWS AND TRACK BROKE. RAINED IN HER CAR AND SHORTED OUT ELECTRICAL. THIS IS A PIECE OF CRAP AND WHEN I LOOK AT ALL THE COMPLAINTS IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING THEY ARE LIABLE FOR FIXING BECAUSE NOW ITS GOING TO COST 3500 AND JEEP DEALERS ARE TELLING US THEY DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH IT BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FROM THE BEGINNING. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS THAT JEEP PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR FAULTY PRODUCTS AND THE NHTSA IS NOT MAKING THEM. THEY HAVE QUIT MAKING THIS FOR A REASON. BECAUSE IT WAS FAULTY AND NOT SOMETHING THAT WOULD WORK. NOW VEHICLE OWNERS ARE STUCK WITH NO OPTIONS. PLEASE CONSIDER HELPING US! MY DAUGHTER IS IN NURSING SCHOOL AND I'M A SINGLE MOTHER. WHAT ARE OUR OPTIONS. JEEP DEALERSHIPS DON'T WANT THESE CARS BACK!

ELECTRICAL HARNESS.

WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GAS THERE IS A "BURP" THAT PUSHES GAS OUT OF THE PIPE TO THE TANK. IT'S LIKE THE TANK ISN'T VENTING, AND BUILDING PRESSURE WHEN FILLING. THIS HAPPENS ON EVEY FILL-UP. I THOUGHT THE SERVICE STATION SHUT OFF WERE THE PROBLEM, BUT AFTER BEING ON A WEB SITE, THERE ARE ALOT MORE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

THERE WAS A NOISE, LIKE GRINDING WHEN I WENT TO BACK OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY, FROM THE REAR OF THE JEEP AND WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP THE TECH FOUND THE REAR FLOOR HEAT SHIELD HAD COME LOSSE AND WAS RUBBING ON THE DRIVESHAFT. THE DEALERSHIP CHARGED ME $474.20 TO FIX IT ON 3/9/2015. I JUST FOUND OUT TODAY, 11/2/2015, THERE WAS A RECALL ON OTHER 2008 JEEP LIBERTYS (MY VIN NUMBER WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL) BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE THE ISSUE SHOULD HAVE BEEN! WHY WASN'T MY JEEP PART OF THE RECALL? ARE THERE OTHER OWNERS LIKE ME, WHO HAD THE SAME ISSUE BUT WEREN'T CONSIDERED PART OF THE RECALL? I THINK WE SHOULD BE! PLEASE ADVISE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, SMOKE WAS PRESENT COMING FROM THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE. UPON INSPECTION, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE REAR PASSENGER WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE CALIPER SEIZED. THE CALIPER WAS REPLACED AND THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE LATER EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE INVOLVING THE BRAKE CALIPERS ON BOTH THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

MY HEAT SHIELD CAME LOOSE AND DETACHED AT 110000 MILES WHILE DRIVING. IT WAS OBVIOUSLY RESTING ON MOVING PARTS UNDER MY VEHICLE. IT MADE A KLATTERING RATTLE AS THE VEHICLE SLOWED TO A STOP WHERE I COULD CHECK OUT THE PROBLEM. THE HEAT SHIELD READILY CAME OUT WHEN THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE WAS REMOVED TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO THE PART ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

JEEP STATIONARY IN DRIVEWAY OVERNITE STARTED BURNING ALL WIRING HARNESES UNTIL BATTERY DIED, INTERIOR SATURATED WITH BURNED WIRE SMELL, ELECTRONIC DASHBOARD SAID NO-BUS, TOWED IT TO JEEP-CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP HAD TO REPLACE ALL HARNESSES, FUSE RELAYS, MODULES, HARNESS GROUNDED OUT TO METAL BAD FACTORY INSTALLATION, COST 4,400!

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD THE SUNROOF LEAK, THE HEAT SHIELD BRACKET RUSTED/BROKE AND CAME LOOSE FROM THE AUTO AND HIT THE DRIVE SHAFT, AND THE AIR CONDITIONER DOES NOT BLOW OUT ON THE CORRECT VENTS, THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF,

I BOUGHT THE JEEP MARCH OF 2014. UPON PURCHASE THERE SEEMED TO BE AN ODD NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END. I WAS ASSURED THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY OVERSIZED TIRES. THE TIRES WERE DIFFERENT FROM THE STANDARD FACTORY BUT NOTHING THAT SHOULD CAUSE THAT NOISE WHILE DRIVING. I ASKED IF I COULD HAVE MY MECHANIC LOOK AT AND CALL THEM FOR THE REPAIR. THEY AGREED. I CALLED A FEW DAYS LATER AFTER FINDING THAT THE FRONT END HAD SOME ISSUES AS WELL AS THE HORN AND OTHER ELECTRICAL THINGS DIDN'T WORK. I WAS CONCERNED BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY VIOLATION. THEY FIXED IT ALL AT NO COST TO ME. ONE YEAR LATER THE HORN AND BUTTONS STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. I WENT IN AND TOLD THEM WHAT WAS GOING ON AND ASKED FOR THE WRITE UP FROM LAST TIME. THE WRITE UP STATED THAT THEY REPAIRED THE TIPM MODULE WELL ENOUGH TO GET IT TO FUNCTION BUT IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS NEVER TOLD THIS. I ASKED THEM WHAT COULD BE DONE SINCE THEY DIDN'T REALLY FIX IT THE FIRST TIME. WE CAME TO THE AGREEMENT THAT I WOULD PAY FOR LABOR AND THEY WOULD PAY FOR THE PART. SEPTEMBER 2015, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY I WENT TO HONK MY HORN ONLY TO FIND IT WASN'T WORKING. IT WORKED JUST A FEW HOURS PRIOR. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND EXPLAINED WHAT WAS GOING ON. HE TOLD ME THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE THE TIPM MODULE AGAIN, AND THAT THEY WOULD WARRANTY THE PART AND FIX IT. I TOOK IT IN AND WAS THEN TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO DIAGNOSE AND MAKE SURE THAT IT WAS THE TIPM MODULE. I WOULD NEED TO PAY A DIAGNOSTIC

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER THE CONTACT DISCONNECTED AND RECONNECTED THE BATTERY CABLE. ON ONE OTHER OCCASION, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS INDEPENDENTLY POWERED OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE HEADLIGHTS ILLUMINATED AGAIN WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE FOBIK AND THE HORN CONSISTENTLY SOUNDED AND THE HEADLIGHTS FLASHED. THE CONTACT DETACHED AND REATTACHED THE BATTERY CABLE AND THE LIGHTS POWERED OFF AND THE HORN NO LONGER SOUNDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

WHILE PULLING INTO PARKING SPACE, HORN SUDDENLY BLOWS, WIPERS AND WASHERS COME ON, LIGHTS COME ONCAR BUCKS. BROUGHT TO DEALER KEPT FOR 3 DAYS, NO ANSWER. 3 DAYS LATER CAR PARKED HORN BLOWS WIPERS ON, DOORS LOCK. 2 DAYS AFTER CAR PARKED SAME THING. DEALER CAN FIND NO CODES. REPEAT OF SAME INCIDENTS FROM 8/20/14, SAME RESPONSE FROM DEALER.
