2008 Jeep Liberty complaints

HEAT DECIDED TO NOT WORK ON THE FIRST 30 DAY W/ SNOW AND ICE. PASSENGER VENTS ARE BLOWING LUKE WARM AIR, AND THE DRIVERS SIDE BLOWING COLD AIR. ALSO, NO AIR AT ALL COMING FROM THE BLOWER AT THE DRIVERS FEET. NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS AS I HAD READ 100'S OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE BLEND DOOR NOT OPERATING PROPERLY ON JEEPS OF ALL TYPES. THIS IS A $1000 FIT, AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE BLEND DOOR. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE OUTRAGE! *TR

BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED. EACH OF THE TWO TIMES WE HAVE FILLED UP THE TANK WITH GAS THE TANK HAS OVERFLOWED SPILLING AN ESTIMATED PINT OF GAS OUT OF THE TANK AND DOWN THE EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. EACH TIME GAS HAS SPILLED ONTO THE DRIVER AS WELL. RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE IT APPEARS THAT REPLACING THE GAS TANK RESOLVES THIS ISSUE. I FEEL THIS IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL. REF. SERVICE BULLETIN NO.: SB-14-003-13, NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10052148. *TR

PRIOR TO ACCIDENT, THE SKY SLIDER LEAKED WATER INTO THE ELECTRICAL ROOF LIGHT COMPACTS DROPPING DOWN INTO GEAR SHIFT. ALSO LEAKED INTO TRUNK AND BACK SEAT OF JEEP FROM CEILING. EVEN AFTER REPAIRED BY DEALERSHIP TWICE, IT CONTINUED TO LEAK WATER DURING AND AFTER RAIN. THE AUTOMATIC DRIVER SIDE WINDOW SINCE LEAKING ISSUES, HAS SHORTED AND FAILED TO CLOSE (GO UP) ON A DAILY BASIS. DEEP FRONT END COLLISION HAD ZERO DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAG IN FRONT- INCLUDES DURING/AFTER PASSENGER SIDE ROLLOVER. ONLY SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. CONCUSSION AND MUSCLE SPASMS RESULTED FROM ACCIDENT. BODY HIT AGAINST STEERING COLUMN, HEAD AND ARM AGAINST DRIVER WINDOW AND FRAME. ENTIRE WEEK OF UNPAID MEDICAL LEAVE FROM EMPLOYER BY DOCTORS ORDER. TOTAL LOSS OF JEEP. SEATBELT HELD ME IN SUSPENSE WHILE JEEP WAS ON IT'S SIDE. ALTHOUGH IT LEFT ME WITH PAINS IN HIPS, ABDOMEN AND LEGS, THE SEATBELT SAVED ME FROM ENDING UP IN THE WINDOW AND GLASS IN MY SKIN FROM THE ROLLOVER WINDOW GLASS BREAKAGE. FEELS LIKE JEEP INITIATED ROLLOVER UPON FRONT IMPACT AFTER HAVING BEEN STOPPED COMPLETELY. ..UPDATED 11/18/14 *BF UPDATED 10/7/2015*JS

BAD CLOCK SPRING LOCATED IN STEERING COLUMN, EFFECTS MANY THINGS INCLUDING AIRBAG. EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE AND HAVE FOUND IT IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE. *TR

THE DAY, JULY 10, 2014, STARTED OUT WITH MY WIFE, GRANDDAUGHTER AND ME GOING TO THE GROCERY STORE IN MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. WE WERE BACK BY NOON, HAD SOME LUNCH AND ABOUT 1:30PM PUT GRANDDAUGHTER DOWN FOR A NAP. ABOUT 2:00PM WIFE NEEDED TO GO INTO TOWN FOR AN ERRAND. SHE BACKED THE JEEP OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY AND CONTINUED DOWN THE ROAD GOING ABOUT 15 MPH. THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE BLOWS (4 TIRES ON THE VEHICLE BOUGHT APPROX. 14 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT - GOODYEAR P225/75R16 WRANGLER ST 104S) AND THE SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. VEHICLE DID NOT HIT ANYTHING NOR WAS IT HIT BY ANYTHING. WIFE DID SUSTAIN A SLIGHT RED BRUISE ON HER LEFT CHEEK. GOOD THING IT DID NOT HAPPEN WITH ALL OF US IN THE VEHICLE OR GOING 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. I CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE. CHRYSLER GROUP LLC CONDUCTED AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE INCIDENT AND INSPECTED THE JEEP. THE INSPECTION FOUND NO INDICATION OF A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT CAUSED OR CONTRIBUTED TO THE INCIDENT. HARD TO BELIEVE THAT A FRONT TIRE BLOWS AND SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AT 15 MPH. JEEP IS SUPPOSED TO BE A RUGGED OFF-ROAD VEHICLE. *TR

IT STARTED A WITH WHEN I GOT OUT OF JEEP AND PUSH BUTTON TO LOCK THE VEHICLE IT WOULDN'T LOCK AND THE HORN WOULD NOT BEEP LIKE IT DOES WHEN IT LOCKS SO I HAD TO LOCK IT MANUALLY. WHEN I GOT OUT OF STORE AND GOT BACK INTO JEEP IT WORKED AND IT ONLY HAPPENS AFTER THE CAR HAS WARMED UP IS WHAT IT SEEMS LIKE, THEN I WAS PULLING INTO A TURNING LANE AND SLOWING DOWN AND HEARD A HORN BEEP LOUD JUST TO REALIZE THAT IT WAS MY JEEP THAT BEEPED AND I NEVER PRESSED THE HORN AT ALL. THEN TODAY I GET INTO CAR AND SIT IN SEAT AND USE THE POWER SEAT BUTTON TO ADJUST THE DRIVER SEAT AND DIDN'T EVEN TOUCH THE STEERING WHEEL AND DIDN'T PUT THE KEY IN IGNITION EITHER AND MY FLASHERS STARTED FLASHING BUT, THEN CUT RIGHT OFF. WHEN I GOT WHERE I WAS GOING AND PARKED MY JEEP IT HAPPENED AGAIN THE FLASHERS STARTED TO FLASH AND THEN STOPPED. WHEN I WALKED UP TO THE JEEP WITHOUT PRESSING ANY BUTTONS MY CAR UNLOCKED ON ITS OWN AND THE LIGHTS CAME ON. SOMETIMES MY RADIO TAKES ABOUT 10 SECONDS OR SO BEFORE IT STARTS TO WORK. WINDSHIELD WIPER DOESN'T WANT TO BLOW OUT ANY FLUID SAYS IT NEEDS A MOTOR. HAVE A SLIDER ROOF AND NOTICED THAT IT HAS LEAKED PREVIOUSLY CAUSE I CAN SEE RAIN MARKS AROUND THE EDGES OF THE SLIDER AND WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I CAN HEAR WIND FROM COMING THE ROOF SO ITS NOT SEALING LIKE IT SHOULD. I CAN HAVE THE HEAT ON BUT, LATER IN THE DAY WHEN IT GETS HOT I WILL TURN ON THE AC AND THE AC DOESN'T WANT TO BLOW OUT COLD AIR AND I FIDDLE WITH THE SWITCHES FOR A BIT, I CAN FINALLY GET IT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LIGHTS FLASHED, HORN ACTIVATED AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS WITH WIPER FLUID INDEPENDENTLY TURNED ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIPM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WHEN EVER I TURN THE WHEEL, I HEAR A POP. IT IS GETTING LOUDER NOW WITH AGE.THE AUTO TECHNICIAN THAT CHECKED DID SHOW ME THE BUSHINGS AND THEY LOOKED WORE OUT. JUST NEW CONTROL ARM 'S COST ABOUT $400.00 FOR BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT. I DID NOT ASK ABOUT THE LABOR CHARGE. *TR

WHEN I TRIED TO OPEN THE SLIDING SKY ROOF THE STICKY (TAPE) PART BECAME UNSTUCK FROM THE SLIDING SKY ROOF AND STUCK TO THE CAR'S FRAME THAT CAUSED THE SLIDING SKY ROOF TO BREAK OFF THE TRACK PREVENTING IT FROM OPENING AND/OR CLOSING. IF DRIVEN NOW IT WILL BLOW OFF AND BE HAZARDOUS. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION PAN IS ROTTING OUT AND LEAKING ONTO THE EXHAUST , EVERY MORNING WHEN I LEAVE FOR WORK I SMELL SOMETHING BURNING. WELL COME TO FIND OUT ITS BEEN RUSTING FOR A LONG TIME NOW SEEING I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS JEEP FOR TWO YEARS NOW , BUT I HAVE LOTS OF PROBLEM WITH THIS JEEP , JEEP TOLD ME THAT THEY DON'T COVER RUST AND CORROSION . I FEEL ITS A MANUFACTURING BLEMISH , THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO STAND BEHIND . I AM AND AUTO INSPECTOR FOR LARGE AUTO AUCTION . BACK TO THE PAN , THE PAN IS PAINTED BUT RUSTING UNDER THE PAINT , WHICH MEANS IT WAS NOT PREP RIGHT FOR PAINTING , THE EXHAUST PIPE IS LESS THREE INCHES FROM THE PAN , EXHAUST CONVERTER ARE ON BOTH SIDE OF THE PAN WITH THE Y PIPE RIGHT BEHIND SO THERE IS EXTREME HEAT THERE. *TR

FEBRUARY 2014: OPENED MY CAR WITH THE KEY WHEN THE FOB WOULDN'T WORK. HORN AND RADIO BLARED, BOTH FRONT AND REAR WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURNED ON, IN ADDITION TO ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS. CONTINUED FOR 10 MINUTES UNTIL BATTERY WAS DISCONNECTED. IN THAT TIME, THE CAR WOULD NOT START. AFTER 5 MINUTES, THE BATTERY WAS RECONNECTED AND THE CAR STARTED WITHOUT ISSUE. APRIL 2014: WHILE TURNING INTO A GAS STATION, MY JEEP COMPLETELY STOPPED. AFTER WAITING 2 MINUTES IT STARTED AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO CLEANED CORROSION AROUND THE BATTERY. 2 WEEKS LATER, I WAS DRIVING ON A 3 LANE HIGHWAY, BEGAN TO DECELERATE AND AT APPROXIMATELY 25MPH, THE JEEP'S ENGINE TURNED OFF. AT THE SAME TIME, ALL OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS TURNED ON IN ADDITION TO THE HORN AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT INCIDENT, WHERE THE JEEP CONTINUED THE SAME BEHAVIOR FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES, AND THEN ABRUPTLY STOPPED. THE CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN UNTIL THE BATTERY WAS DISCONNECTED AND THEN RECONNECTED. I BROUGHT IT TO A CHRYSLER DEALER THAT EVENING AND DETAILED THE ISSUES. THEY MONITORED IT FOR 3 DAYS, BUT ULTIMATELY RETURNED THE CAR STATING THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY ISSUES BUT COULD REPLACE MODULE FOR ALMOST $1000! MAY 2014: REPLACED THE BATTERY AND HAD MINIMAL ISSUES INCLUDING WINDSHIELD WIPERS RANDOMLY STARTING AND STOPPING, BUT NO HORN OR SHUT DOWN ISSUES, UNTIL... JUNE 2014: A SIMILAR INCIDENT OCCURRED THAT MIRRORED THE APRIL DECELERATION INCIDENT. AT THIS POINT I DISCONN

HORN, LIGHTS, WIPERS AND WINDSHIELD WASHER SPRAYING ALL HAPPEN ON THERE OWN WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM CAUSED BY THE TIPM UNIT. *TR

THERE HAS BEEN AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE WHERE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON FOLLOWED BY THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT (USUALLY AFTER MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN.) WHEN THIS FIRST STARTED THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, AND WENT TO JEEP. THEY HAD OUR LIBERTY FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND SWAPPED OUT THE CAM AND CRANKSHAFT SENSORS TO "FIX" THIS PROBLEM. THE CAR AGAIN WAS ACTING UP WITHIN A MONTH OR SO, AND WHEN WE CALLED THE DEALER BACK TO BRING IT BACK IN THEY ADVISED US THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WE PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR WAS NOW EXPIRED. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE TO HAVE THE CODES READ. IT WAS AGAIN CODE C121C, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CODES RELATING TO FAULTY CAM AND CRANKSHAFT SENSORS. SINCE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT THEY REPLACED THE CAM AND CRANKSHAFT SENSORS. I REPLACED THE NEEDED PARTS AND THIS LASTED MAYBE 20 MILES, PRIOR TO THE LIGHTS COMING BACK ON. I ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE THEM A SECOND TIME THINKING I MAY HAVE GOTTEN A DEFECTIVE PART OR TWO, BUT IT WOUND UP BEING THE SAME END RESULT; ABOUT 10-20 MILES IN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON. THIS PREVENTED THE VEHICLE FROM SHIFTING INTO OVER DRIVE, IT PREVENTS THE VEHICLE FROM ACCELERATING AT A NORMAL SPEED, AND ABOVE 50 MPH THE WHOLE VEHICLE WILL WILDLY SHUTTER WHEN YOU LET YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS. JEEP WILL NOT WARRANTY THE DRIVE TERRAIN EVEN THOUGH THE STATE THE VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE A 100K MILE WARRANTY ON THE DRIVE TERRAIN. *TR

THE REAR BRAKE CALIPERS AND PADS ARE NOT LASTING. I HAVE TO REPLACE THEM EVERY 20.000 MILES NEVER HAD A VEHICLE THAT EATS THROUGH BRAKES LIKE THIS ONE DOES. *TR

THE SKY SLIDER ROOF STOPPED IN THE OPEN POSITION AND WOULD NOT CLOSE. THE COST TO FIX IS $4,000. DUE TO IT BEING STUCK OPEN THERE IS NOW WATER DAMAGE ALL AROUND THE TOP OF THE JEEP ROOF. *TR

RECENTLY THE BATTERY DIED IN MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. I CHANGED THE BATTERY AND WHEN I STARTED UP MY VEHICLE AND ERROR MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED IN THE ODOMETER WINDOW. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE. *TR

MY AIR COMPRESSOR STARTED MAKING A TERRIBLE SCREECHING NOISE. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE AIR COMPRESSOR IN JEEPS DO NOT LAST AFTER A COUPLE OF YEARS. HOW HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECTIFIED? ALSO, MY TRACTION AND ABS LIGHTS COME ON AND CAUSE ME TO BE UNABLE TO STOP WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKES. THIS IS NOT FROM NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR OF DRIVING A CAR. *TR

OUR JEEP GOES TO DEALER EVERY 3000 MILES FOR OIL & FILTER CHANGE SINCE WE BOUGHT IT NEW. THIS YEAR I NOTICED THE BATTERY TERMINALS HAD NEVER BEEN CLEANED. I REMOVED THE TERMINALS AS I HAVE DONE ON HUNDREDS OF CARS (AS MY BOTHER AND I HAD SERVICE/ GAS STATIONS FOR YEARS) AS A NO CHARGE COURTESY. NOW I KNOW WHY THEY NEVER DID THE CLEANING. AS SOON AS YOU REMOVE THE TERMINALS FOR ANY REASON THE ERROR MESSAGE WILL MOST LIKELY SHOW UP. NOW THEY WANT $600.00 PLUS STATE TAXES TO EFFECT REPAIRS. NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN. HELP US PLEASE. *TR

JEEP STARTED TO SHAKE. WHEN TAKING YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL, AUTO ALMOST CAME TO A STOP. WENT STRAIGHT TO REPAIR SHOP. CALIPER ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED ON REAR PASSENGER SIDE. SECOND CALIPER MALFUNCTIONED ON JUNE 30, 2014. PARTS HAVE BEEN BACK ORDERED SINCE JULY 1, 2014. CHRYSLER IS PRODUCING BAD PARTS AND ALTHOUGH NO ACCIDENTS ARE REPORTED YET, THEY WILL BE. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ON A VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES. WEBB SITE HAS 100'S OF PEOPLE WITH SAME PROBLEM THAT RE-OCCURS WITHIN A SHORT TIME. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS FOR ALL JEEP OWNERS. *TR

MY CAR BATTERY DIED. AFTER REPLACING BATTERY I HAVE AN ERROR MESSAGE DISPLAYED ACROSS THE ODOMETER. I HAVE TRIED RESETTING THE PANEL. HAD IT SCANNED AND FOUND NOTHING..DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY CABLE FOR OVER AN HOUR, DID NOT RESET THE MESSAGE. WAS TOLD THE PCN NEEDED TO BE FLASHED. COST $200 DOLLARS. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME THING AND WONDERING WHY THERE ISN'T A RECALL OF WHAT EVER IS GOING ON. ALL OF THE STORIES ARE THE SAME. LOSS OF BATTERY POWER WHEN THEY TURN CAR ON AFTER RECONNECTING BATTERY. THE ERROR MESSAGE OCCURS AND DOES NOT GO AWAY. THIS SHOULD REALLY BE A RECALL IT IS EFFECTING A LOT OF JEEP LIBERTIES. *JS

REPLACED DRIVER SIDE DOOR KEY LOCK, HAD TO REMOVE INNER DOOR PNL, (DISCONNECTED BATTERY), AFTER JOB WAS COMPLETE AND STARTED FOR FIRST TIME, NOTICED THAT THE (DIGITAL) DASHBOARD ODOMETER INSTEAD OF SHOWING MILEAGE INDICATED THE WORD "ERROR". INVESTIGATED ON INTERNET AND DISCOVERED MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING SAME "ERROR" MESSAGE APPEAR ON ODOMETER AFTER DISCONNECTING BATTERY. *JS

AT STARTUP, FIRST NOTICED WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE ON AND WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. ALL DASH LIGHTS, GAUGES, ETC WERE NOT OPERATING. VEHICLE COULD NOT BE TAKEN OUT OF PARK POSITION. (VEHICLE WAS USED THE NIGHT PRIOR IN A LIGHT RAIN) TURNED VEHICLE ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES TO NO AVAIL. AT DEALERSHIP WAS TOLD THE CLUSTER WAS BAD..BUT THERE ARE SO MANY HAVING THIS PROBLEM THAT THE PART IS BACKLOGGED BY 4 MONTHS OR MORE. COMPUTER WAS REFLASHED, SO EVERYTHING IS WORKING EXCEPT THE ODOMETER. CANNOT PASS INSPECTION WITHOUT GETTING A NEW CLUSTER SINCE THAT IS THE ONLY MEANS TO SHOW THE ODOMETER..YET ITS BACKLOGGED 4 MONTHS. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE IF ITS A VITAL TRUCK PART? *TR

2008 JEEP LIBERTY LE PURCHASED 9/2008. HAD TO BRING CAR BACK WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK OF PURCHASE TO HAVE THE STRIP AT THE FRONT REPLACED. SINCE THEN THE ROOF HAS ALWAYS BEEN NOISY AND LIFTS SLIGHTLY AT THE FRONT WHILE MOVING. RECENTLY, IT HAS STOPPED CLOSING PROPERLY. IT WILL NOT CLOSE ALL THE WAY AND IS BUCKLED IN SEVERAL PLACES LEAVING GAPS IN THE ROOF FOR WIND AND RAIN TO COME IN. *TR

WITH THE PARKING BRAKE FULLY ENGAGED, THE VEHICLE IS FULLY DRIVE ABLE ONCE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IS ENGAGED. WARNING LIGHT, ON DASH, AND ALARM SOUNDS BUT THE PARKING BRAKE DOES NOT KEEP, OR EVEN IMPEDE, THE CAR FROM MOVING. HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE ADDRESSED THREE TIMES, AT TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS, AND PARKING BRAKES DO NOT WORK. *TR

GAS TANK OVERFLOWS AT FILL UP. ALWAYS AT COSTCO AND MANY OTHER STATIONS. ATTENDANTS HAVE ATTEMPTED TO PUMP FOR ME AND HAD SAME RESULTS STATING THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR JEEPS. *TR

WHILE CAR WAS IN DRIVE AND TRAVELING AT 40 MPH, THE KEY IN THE IGNITION DISENGAGED FROM THE 'ON' POSITION TO THE ACCESSORY POSITION AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, POWER STEERING, ETC. DRIVER HAD TO COAST THE DEAD VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO AVOID BEING HIT FROM BEHIND. *TR

THE FIRST TIRE INFLATION VALVE STEM AND SENDING UNIT ASSEMBLY FAILED RESULTING IN DASHBOARD ALERT AND INABILITY TO INFLATE OR CHECK TIRE PRESSURE AS THE UNIT WAS BROKEN. AT FIRST THE DEALER REFUSED TO REPLACE UNDER WARRANTY BUT SUBSEQUENTLY DID REPLACE IT UNDER WARRANTY AT A LATER DATE. THE PROBLEM ONCE AGAIN HAPPENED ON A SECOND TIRE THIS TIME OUT OF WARRANTY. THE DEALER SERVICE MANAGER EXPLAINED THAT THE PROBLEM IS DUE TO THE VALVE ASSEMBLY BEING CONSTRUCTED OF DISSIMILAR METALS CAUSING PREMATURE CORROSION AND STEM FAILURE. SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY THE DEALER OFFERED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ONCE AND FOR ALL BY REPLACING THE VALVE STEM ON ALL FOUR TIRES WITH COMMON RUBBER STEMS WITHOUT THE SENDING UNITS. THE OFFERED FIX WOULD OBVIOUSLY DISABLE THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING SYSTEM BUT WOULD "FIX" THE BROKEN STEM ASSEMBLY PROBLEM. THE DEALER INDICATED THIS WOULD BE DONE AS THIS WAS A COMMON, FRUSTRATING, EXPENSIVE KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

GOT OUT MY TRUCK AT WALMART AND THE DOORS AUTOMATIC LOCKED WHEN I CLOSED THE DRIVER DOOR THE LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING AND THE LOCKS STARTED LOCKING AND UN LOCKING. THAT WAS ON JUNE 3,2014. THE REALLY BAD ONE HAPPEN ON JUNE16,2014 WHEN I HAD MY DAUGHTER AND GRANDBABY WITH ME I GOT OUT THE CAR AND IT LOCKED AS USUAL AND THE LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING AND I COULD NOT GET MY DAUGHTER OR GRANDBABY OUT IT WAS VERY HOT OUTSIDE AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO BREAK THE WINDOW. I AM VERY AFRAID TO DRIVE MY JEEP. I FEEL TRAPPED IN IT AND I FEEL LIKE SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN IF MY KIDS OR GRANDBABY IS IN THERE AND IT WANT LET ME IN. I WAKE UP SOME MORNINGS AND THE BATTERY IS DEAD AND WANT CRANK LEAVING MY KIDS LATE FOR SCHOOL. PLEASE HELP. *TR

OCCASION 1. VEHICLE PARKED. LIGHTS BEGAN FLASHING, HORN SOUNDING, WASHERS SQUIRTING, DOOR LOCKS OPERATING. UNABLE TO EXIT VEHICLE. TRAPPED INSIDE WITH 4 YEAR OLD GRANDSON FOR TEN MINUTES. IGNITION KEY INOPERABLE. FINALLY MANAGED TO GET VEHICLE IGNITION GOING, AND DROVE HOME. VEHICLE POWER FLUCTUATING CAUSING UNCONTROLLABLE POWER SURGES. OCCASION 2. VEHICLE APPROACHING JUNCTION AT 10 MPH. LIGHTS. HORN, WASHERS, DOORLOCKS OPERATING - PULLED VEHICLE OVER, UNABLE TO ENGAGE PARK, REMOVED KEY FROM IGNITION - VEHICLE ENGINE STILL RUNNING BUT MANAGED TO ENGAGE PARK, HOWEVER THEN COULD NOT GET IT OUT OF PARK. EXITED VEHICLE , ENGINE STILL RUNNING, LIGHTS, HORN ETC ACTUATING, AND COULD NOT RE-ENTER VEHICLE. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS ON THIS WEBSITE AS WELL AS VARIOUS JEEP FORUMS. CONTACT WITH JEEP GIVES NO RESPONSE OTHER THAN VEHICLE OUT OF WARRANTY SEE YOUR DEALER. THIS IS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM, NOT A SPURIOUS ONE OFF SPECIFIC VEHICLE FAULT AND COULD BE A SAFETY CONCERN GIVEN THE LACK OF CONTROL YOU HAVE OVER BASIC VEHICLE POWERTRAIN AND DRIVEABILTIY FUNCTIONS. JEEP HAD ALREADY REPAIRED THE VEHICLE UNDER WARRANTY ONCE BEFORE FOR SAME FAULT. REMOVING BATTERY CONNECTIONS RESETS THE SYSTEM UNTIL THE PROBLEM RE-OCCURS.THROWS ERROR CODE P0883 OCCASIONALLY WHEN IN THIS MALFUNCTIONING MODE. *TR

THE SKY SLIDER ON THE 2008 JEEP LIBERTY IS DEFECTIVE AND JEEP WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!!! THIS IS RIDICULOUS! IT IS GOING TO COST $2,000 TO GET THE THING FIXED! I DON'T EVEN OPEN THE THING AND WHEN IT BROKE IT WAS CLOSED!!! I WAS DRIVING IN A STORM AND THE WIND CAUGHT IT AND BROKE IT. DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME I HAVE TO HAVE A WHOLE NEW SYSTEM...TRACKS AND ALL! THIS IS CRAZY!!! I CALLED JEEP FOR SOME HELP WITH THIS ISSUE AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO, OH YES THERE IS SOMETHING THEY CAN DO....RECALL THIS SKY SLIDER!!! I AM GOING TO CONTINUE TO CALL THEM ON A DAILY BASIS AND KEEP ASKING FOR SOMEONE WITH MORE AUTHORITY UNTIL I GET MY WAY ON THIS AND MAKE THEM RECALL IT SO THAT WE CAN ALL GET OUR MONEY BACK ON THIS DEFECTIVE PRODUCT!! I URGE ANYONE ELSE WITH THIS PROBLEM TO DO THE SAME THING....IF ENOUGH OF US KEEP CALLING AND COMPLAINING, MAYBE WE CAN GET SOME SATISFACTION. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY SKYSLIDER ON A LOCAL ROAD AT AROUND 40 MPH. THE ROOF ( A CONVERTIBLE TYPE) BEGAN RATTLING AND CAME OFF THE TRACKS WHILE IN THE CLOSE POSITION CAUSING THE ROOF TO FLY UP. I CONTACTED JEEP AND THEY HAVE NO REMEDY FOR THIS ALTHOUGH AFTER LOOKING THIS UP ONLINE, THERE ARE TONS A SIMILAR INCIDENTS. A CAR IN WHICH THE ROOF FLIES UP IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AND JEEP SHOULD BE LIABLE SINCE THIS DOESN'T SEEM TO BE AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. *TR

WHENEVER I FILL THE GAS TANK THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, BUT GAS SURGES UP THE SPOUT AND DUMPS ON THE GROUND. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TYPE OF GAS (PREMIUM OR REGULAR, OR ETHANOL OR NO ETHANOL) OR THE SETTING ON THE PUMP HANDLE (FAST OR SLOW). THIS IS A FIRE, EXPLOSION RISK AS WELL AS AN ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM. I REALLY DON'T EXPECT YOU TO DO ANYTHING UNTIL AFTER PEOPLE ARE HURT OR KILLED, BUT WHEN THAT HAPPENS I WANT TO BE ABLE TO SAY "YOU KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM, AND DIDN'T CARE". *TR

THE SKYSLIDER ROOF ON THE JEEP LIBERTY DOES NOT STAY CLOSED WHILE DRIVING. IT LIFTS LOOSE FROM THE TRACK WHILE CLOSED AND TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MPH. I AM ABLE TO SEE THE OUTSIDE THROUGH THE GAP IT CREATES AND FEAR THAT IT WILL LIFT OPEN FROM THE CAR. I HAVE READ OF SIMILAR INCIDENTS WHERE THE ROOF DID INDEED FALL OFF AT HIGH SPEEDS.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION POPPED OUT OF FIRST GEAR INTO NEUTRAL SO VIOLENTLY THAT IT FELT AS IF I HAD BEEN REAR-ENDED. JEEP DEALERSHIP REPLACED FIRST AND SECOND GEAR SYNCHRO ON JANUARY 25, 2013. BY MAY 2013 THE PROBLEM WAS OCCURRING INTERMITTENTLY AND BY AUGUST ROUTINELY. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO REPAIR ON AUGUST 15, 2013 AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE A WEEK AND CLAIMING THEY COULDN'T "REPLICATE THE PROBLEM." THEREAFTER, GEAR POPPING INCREASED TO THE POINT THAT I WAS UNABLE TO SAFELY TURN LEFT TURN AGAINST TRAFFIC OR MOVE FORWARD WHEN STOPPED ON AN INCLINE. ON DECEMBER 23, 2013, I DELIVERED THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER JEEP DEALERSHIP AND LEFT IT FOR AN ENTIRE MONTH DURING WHICH TIME IT WAS DRIVEN 13 MILES AND A "COMPLETE DIAGNOSTIC" PERFORMED, BUT ONCE AGAIN THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO "REPLICATE." ON JANUARY 21, 2014, I PICKED IT UP ONLY TO HAVE IT VIOLENTLY POP OUT OF FIRST GEAR JUST TWO MILES FROM DEALERSHIP. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE 23RD AND EVEN MORE VIOLENTLY THE AFTERNOON OF THE 24TH. WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON JANUARY 24, 2014 VIA AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY IN VERY HEAVY TRAFFIC (I-25 IN DENVER, CO) THE CLUTCH COMPLETELY MALFUNCTIONED LEAVING MY HUSBAND UNABLE TO PUT THE VEHICLE INTO ANY GEAR WHATSOEVER. AFTER SLAMMING IN 2ND GEAR WITH BRUTE FORCE, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD AT ALL FORCING HIM TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER. AT THE SHOULDER, HE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO PLACE INTO FIRST AND SECOND GEAR. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE SIMPLY ROLLED BACKWARDS WIT

THE SKYLINER ROOF ON OUR 2008 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED 4X4 IS VERY NOISY AT DRIVING SPEEDS OR ON WINDY DAYS AND AS MANY OTHER OWNERS WITH THIS OPTION HAVE STATED THE ROOF DOES NOT CLOSE ALL THE WAY, I HAVE TO MANUALLY LOCK IT BACK INTO THE CLOSED POSITION. IT DOESN'T OPEN PROPERLY EITHER THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE WITH THE TRACK AND CABLE SYSTEM. IT COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF IT BLEW OPEN WHILE DRIVING. WITH THIS BEING SUCH A PERSISTENT PROBLEM WITH THIS OPTION THERE REALLY SHOULD BE A RECALL. MAYBE HEAVIER DUTY COMPONENTS AND CABLE COULD BE A SUFFICIENT FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. *TR
