2008 Jeep Liberty complaints

THE 2008 JEEP AND YEARS AFTER ALL HAVE A DEFECTIVE SKYSLIDER(AS FAR AS I KNOW EVERY SINGLE PERSON I SPOKE WITH THAT HAS A SKY SLIDER HAD SOME MALFUNCTION) WHICH SEEMS TO BE A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. THIS PANORAMIC ROOF CONSTANTLY MALFUNCTIONS, THE REPLACEMENT PARTS COST ALMOST A 1/4 OF THE VEHICLE COST AND WHEN IT BREAKS IT USUALLY IS NOT FIXED PROPERLY. THE CONCERN IS, IT CAN COME FLYING OFF AT HIGH SPEEDS CAUSING POSSIBLE INJURY, ALSO MAKES VEHICLE UN-SECURE DUE TO BEING ACCESSIBLY BY THE ROOF, ALSO CAUSES RAIN, AND OTHER CONTAMINANTS TO ENTER THE CABIN AREA. I UNDERSTAND THAT CHRYSLER IS UNDER GOVERNMENT PROTECTION DUE TO IT FINANCIAL SITUATION BUT THERE IS NO REASON THEY CAN NOT RECALL, REPAIR, OR HAVE A ENGINEERED REPLACEMENT FOR THIS DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS AND ISSUES IT HAS. *TR

EVERY TIME I FUEL UP, IF I LEAVE IT FILLING UP AUTOMATICALLY, GAS SPEWS OUT WHEN IT GETS TO FULL AND GOES EVERYWHERE. EVEN IF I AM TRYING TO WATCH THE GALLONS AND STOP BEFORE IT GETS TO FULL, IT STILL SPEWS EVERYWHERE. I THOUGHT THIS WAS SPECIFIC TO MY VEHICLE, BUT I'VE NOW SEEN HUNDREDS OF REPORTS ON THE INTERNET REGARDING THE VERY SAME ISSUES WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL OF JEEP, PLUS MANY OTHER YEARS AND MODELS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, WATER BEGAN LEAKING THROUGH THE RETRACTABLE SKY SLIDER, ALLOWING AIR INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE STRUCTURE OF THE ROOF WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT RECURRED ON THREE OCCASIONS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 61,701.

FOR THE PAST THREE MONTHS THE AIR BAG LIGHT IN MY CAR HAS BEEN COMING ON AND OFF. SOMETIMES IT WILL STAY ON FOR A COUPLE DAYS, OTHER TIMES IT WILL ONLY STAY ON FOR A COUPLE MINUTES. MY MOTHER ALSO HAS A JEEP LIBERTY AND HERS IS DOING THE SAME THING. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TRIGGERS IT TO COME ON BUT TYPICALLY IT COMES ON WHEN I AM THE ONLY PERSON IN THE CAR. I HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR LESS THEN 6 MONTHS SO I TOOK IT IN LAST WEEK TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT BECAUSE I HAVE HEARD OF OTHER JEEP LIBERTYS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE CAR DEALERSHIP FROM WHICH I BOUGHT MY CAR FROM TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD COST ME $459 FOR A NEW OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER (EVEN THOUGH I HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR LESS THEN 6 MONTHS AND IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY). I PERSONALLY BELIEVE THAT THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO AND IT SHOULD BE MADE A RECALL FOR JEEPS BECAUSE I HAVE HEARD THIS COMPLAINT FROM MULTIPLE PEOPLE REGARDING THEIR JEEP LIBERTYS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, HE ATTEMPTED TO USE THE WINDSHIELD WASHER BUT IT FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE POWER CONTROL MODULE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 115,660.

VEHICLE WAS MAKING A WHINING NOISE WHEN TURNING. I HAD THE CAR CHECKED AND THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS LOW. IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THIS CAR IS LEAKING POWER STEERING FLUID ONTO THE RACK AND PINION. ALONG WITH THIS, THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS COMING ON. I BELIEVE THAT THIS MAY BE RELATED TO THE LATEST RECALL CONCERNING THE HEAT SHIELD. JEEP REFUSES TO ADD MY CAR TO THE RECALL LIST AND I AM SURE THIS IS DIRECTLY RELATED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW FAILED AND FELL INTO THE DOOR PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

PANORAMIC ROOF - WILL NOT CLOSE. APPEARS THAT PASSENGER SIDE TRACK IS NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY AND THE TOP WILL NOT FULLY CLOSE AND FLAPS IN THE WIND. MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER SECURE AS WELL AS THE ANNOYANCE OF THE FLAPPING IN THE WIND. ALSO, NO WAY TO SECURE DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER WHICH IS CAUSING STAINING OF THE INTERIOR AROUND THE ROOF. *TR

THE HEATING ELEMENT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER HEATED SEAT HAS STARTED TO BURN THROUGH THE SEAT. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND BECAUSE THE CAR IS BEYOND THE 3 YR/36,000 MILES WARRANTY, CHRYSLER WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR. I AM CONCERNED THAT SOMEONE COULD BE BURNED OR THAT THE SEAT COULD CATCH FIRE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE AND BELIEVE IT IS ENOUGH OF A SAFETY CONCERN TO FILE A COMPLAINT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH MY 9 YEAR OLD GRANDSON IN THE JEEP. IT IS ALWAYS SOUNDS VERY WINDY IN THE TRUCK WHEN DRIVING. I WAS GOING ABOUT 25 MILES AN HOUR AND THE FRONT OF THE TOP FLEW BACK. IT SCARED THE HECK OUT OF US. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND WHEN I TRIED TO SHUT THE SKY RIDER/RETRACTABLE TOP IT WOULD NOT GO. SO I PULLED IT FRONTWARDS WITH MY HANDS AND DROVE VERY SLOW TO MY DAUGHTERS. MY SON IN LAW AND MY DAUGHTER WERE LOOKING AT IT AND WE COULD NOT GET IT TO WORK. SO WE PUT A BUGGY CORD AROUND IT TO HOLD IT DOWN UNTIL I COULD HAVE TO A PLACE THAT COULD FIX IT.. I WENT TO SEE HIM AT 8 AM THE NEXT MORNING AND HE SAID HE HAS 2 OF THEM IN HIS SHOP RIGHT NOW AND HE ALSO SAID HE HAS MANY OF THEM IN HIS SHOP EVERY WEEK WITH THE SAME PROBLEM HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT. CHRYSLER KNOWS THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THESE JEEPS THAT HAVE THE RETRACTABLE TOPS/ SKY RIDER . I ALSO WENT ON LINE AND THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS IN REGARDS TO THESE TOPS DOING THE SAME THING. I WAS TOLD THAT IT COST $2,100.00 DOLLARS TO FIX. THEY NEED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE RACK.I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WOULD USE PLASTIC PARTS FOR SUCH A IMPORTANT THING ON YOUR CAR IS A ROOF. HE TOLD ME TO CALL CHRYSLER.. WELL I CALLED AND SPOKE TO A SUPERVISOR MACK KELLY AT MASSEY YARDLEY HE SAID THE WARRANTY IS UP. WE WENT BACK AND FOURTH ABOUT THE TOP AND I SAID TO HIM, BUT YOU KNOW THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM SO WHY WOULD YOU NOT FIX IT? HE SAID, "YUP IT IS A BIG PROBLEM "BUT THE WARRANTY IS UP. I ASKED TO SPEAK WITH SOM

2008 JEEP LIBERTY 4X4 PURCHASED USED WITH 18,000 MILES. WHEN RE-FUELING THE PUMP WILL SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY AND GAS WILL BURP OUT EVERY TIME. SOMETIMES IT IS A LOT OF GAS AND VERY DANGEROUS. I'VE SEEN THIS ISSUE ALL OVER THE INTERNET. WHY ISN'T SOMETHING BEING DONE ABOUT THIS? *TR

RECENTLY I RECEIVED THE SAFETY RECALL N10 / NHTSA 13V-121 FOR MY JEEP LIBERTY 2008. IN JUNE 20, I MADE CONTACT WITH THE FLAGSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT, IN BAYAMON PUERTO RICO AT 787-620-5877. SOME FEMALE VERIFIED MY VEHICLE INFORMATION AND ONCE CONFIRMED MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR NEXT DAY ( JUNE 21 ). AT DATE OF JUNE 21, 9:30AM ONCE IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, MR [XXX] TOLD ME THAT WAS A MISTAKE, A ERROR, AND SAID "YOUR VEHICLE HASN'T PROBLEMS OR RECALLS." MY DOUBT WITH AT SOME OBSERVATIONS: THEIR QUESTION: "WHERE DID YOU BUY THE VEHICLE". ( I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AT ROCKY MOTORS, A SMALL DEALER) AND THE PLAYVIEW OF A LONG ROW OF JEEP WRANGLER TO BE RECEIVED FOR REPAIRS BY RECALLS. I FELT DISPLACED, AND HAVE MY DOUBTS ABOUT THE INFORMATION RECEIVED. PLEASE CONFIRM AND TAKE NOTICE, WITH THIS ESTABLISHMENT, TO BE LOYAL TO THE SAFETY RELATED. AT THIS DATE, I TOOK THE TIME, I HAVE CHANCE TO GET A VEHICLE TO USE DURING THE VEHICLE RECALL REPAIRS. LATER IN AUGUST, IS LATE, THERE WILL BE NO CHANCE, I WORK AT 20 MILES FROM HOME. IF MY VEHICLE NEED IT, I NEED TO REPAIR NOW, OR THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SHOULD PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, WATER BEGAN TO SEEP OUT OF THE MAPLIGHTS AND DOWN BOTH A-FRAME PILLARS. PANORAMIC MOON ROOF STOPPED CLOSING ALL THE WAY AFTER A WIND STORM AND WAS OPEN ENOUGH TO CAUSE MAJOR LEAKAGE (UPWARDS OF 3 GALLONS OF WATER). I FEEL THIS IS DEFECTIVE AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT, AS TRAVELING AT HIGH RATE OF SPEED, THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN THE ROOF FLYING OPEN. MANUFACTURER HAS STATED IT IS NOT AN ISSUE THAT THEY PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE WITH, AND THE REPAIRS WILL BE OVER $7000. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED AFTER RUNNING FOR A SHORT TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE WATER PUMP HAD FAILED. THE CONTACT INQUIRED ABOUT NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 13V121000 (AIR BAGS, POWER TRAIN AND STRUCTURE) BUT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE DAMAGE WAS NOT RELATED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 87,000. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY JUST AS THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF ENGAGES THE GAS COMES OUT OF THE FILL PIPE AND DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHERE I FILL UP THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS. I WAS BEGINNING TO THINK I WAS THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM BUT I SEE THERE ARE OTHERS. IN MY OPINION I FEEL THAT JEEP SHOULD CHECK THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT COST TO THE OWNERS AS A GESTURE OF GOOD PUBLIC RELATIONS. MY JEEP WAS PURCHASED IN NOVEMBER 2012 AS A PRE-OWNED VEHICLE FROM A JEEP DEALERSHIP. *TR

WHEN I PUMP GAS THE SYSTEM DOES NOT STOP, THE GAS CONTINUES TO PUMP ONCE THE TANK IS FULL. GAS RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. NO RECALL ON THIS ISSUE SO I WOULD HAVE TO PAY MYSELF THIS NEEDS BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

I OWN A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY THAT HAS A SKY SLIDER. I HAD OPENED THE SLIDER APPROXIMATELY FOUR TIMES (NOT EXAGGERATING) AND ON THE FOURTH TIME, WHEN TRYING TO SHUT IT BACK IT "BROKE". THE SLIDER WENT OFF TRACK AND I HAD TO MANUALLY CLOSE IT. THIS WAS ALL WHILE SITTING IN MY GARAGE! ONCE I TOOK OFF THE SLIDER WOULD WHIP IN THE WIND AND I WAS SO AFRAID IT WOULD RIP OFF I LITERALLY WAS GOING 40MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. I HAD IT FIXED FOR $2500. I HAVE NEVER OPENED IT AGAIN FOR FEAR THAT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. NOW GOING DOWN THE ROAD FROM 50MPH ON, I CAN'T EVEN HOLD A CONVERSATION IT IS SO NOISY. IF I GET BEHIND SEMI-TRUCKS THE SLIDER STARTS TO FLAP DUE TO THE FRONT OF IT STARTING TO "PEEL" BACK. I UNDERSTAND THEY HAVE QUIT MAKING THIS MODEL AND I UNDERSTAND WHY! I STRONGLY URGE A RECALL ON THIS AS MANY OF US ARE OUT OF MONEY FROM FIXING IT AND I CAN'T EVEN SELL IT. NO ONE WANTS IT BECAUSE OF THE SLIDER. NOW IM STUCK WITH A LOW CLASS VEHICLE WHILE PAYING HIGH CLASS MONTHLY PAYMENTS. I FEEL I HAVE BEEN SCAMMED! *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FROM CHRYSLER REGARDING A RECALL STATING THAT "THE TRANSFER CASE HEAT SHIELD MAY DROP DOWN AND RUB ON THE DRIVE SHAFT, WEAKENING IT AND POTENTIALLY CAUSING THE DRIVE SHAFT TO BREAK.". CHRYSLER'S RECALL LETTER FAILS TO MENTION WHAT IS OUTLINED IN THE NHTSA LETTER: THE FIRST POTENTIAL CAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT RESULTING FROM THE ABOVE REFERENCED DEFECT: "IF THE DRIVE SHAFT BREAKS, A SECTION OF IT CAN STRIKE THE TRANSFER CASE TUNNEL WITH ENOUGH FORCE THAT THE AIRBAG COMPUTER WILL BELIEVE THE VEHICLE IS IN A CRASH AND THUS DEPLOY THE AIRBAGS.". I LODGED A COMPLAINT WITH CHRYSLER THAT THEY ARE UNWILLING TO PROVIDE 2008 JEEP LIBERTY OWNERS WITH ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION WHILE THEY "FIX" THE "PROBLEM". CUSTOMERS NEED TO BE INFORMED ABOUT ALL THE POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES AND CHRYSLER ONLY MENTIONS THIS THE TRANSFER CASE HEAT SHIELD MAY DROP DOWN AND RUB ON THE DRIVE SHAFT, WEAKENING IT AND POTENTIALLY CAUSING THE DRIVE SHAFT TO BREAK. IN ADDITION, I SPOKE TO CHRYSLERS "RECALL HELP DESK" ABOUT WHETHER I SHOULD BE DRIVING MY JEEP OR NOT AND I WAS TOLD "YOU'VE BEEN DRIVING YOUR CAR FOR 53,000 MILES AND NOTHINGS HAPPENED SO PROBABLY NOTHING WILL HAPPEN BUT LET US KNOW IF IT DOES." HE SAID THAT THE "HEAD HONCHOS" WERE MEETING ABOUT THE FIX AS WE SPOKE. I ASKED HIM TO LET THE CEO KNOW THAT IF THEY REALLY CARED FOR CUSTOMER SAFETY THEY WOULD GET US RENTAL CARS AND THAT I WOULD TAKE THE CHEAPEST RENTAL ON THE MARKET. WOULD THE CEO OF CHRYSLER CONTINUE TO DRIVE A 2008 JEEP

THE RADIO HAS A SHORT AND THE FRONT SPEAKERS DO NOT WORK. RADIO NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

EVERY SINGLE TIME I GO TO FILL UP THE VEHICLE, IT SPEWS GAS ALL OVER THE PLACE (THE VEHICLE, ME, GROUND) IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW FAST OR SLOW YOU FILL IT UP, IT GOES ALL OVER EVERYTHING. ITS DANGEROUS AND VERY IRRITATING! I HATE THIS VEHICLE VERY MUCH, ITS AN EPIC FAIL OF A SUV! THEY DRIVE AWFUL AND THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS OFF ALL OF THE TIME! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THEY RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 13V121000 (AIR BAGS, POWER TRAIN, STRUCTURE), BUT THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE REMEDY FOR THE DEFECT WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 30,000. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE SKY SLIDER RELEASED OPEN INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE SUPPORT PINS DETACHED FROM THE SKY-SLIDER. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SKYSLIDER ROOF OF THE VEHICLE FAILED TO CLOSE COMPLETELY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ARM AND THE CABLE HAD FRACTURED AND BOTH WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 59,000.

ROUGHLY TWO YEARS AGO WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY I NOTICED PART OF MY SKY SLIDER MOON ROOF STARTED TO HAVE GAPS OF DAYLIGHT IN BETWEEN IT, I THEN NOTICED THAT THE FRONT PART OF MY SKY SLIDER STARTED TO FLIP BACKWARD. WHEN I NOTICED PART OF MY SKY SLIDER WAS FLIPPING BACKWARD I PROCEEDED TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY, KNOWING IF IT RANDOMLY STARTED TO FLIP BACKWARD IT COULD CATCH WIND AND RIP OFF COMPLETELY HITTING THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT, THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT IT WOULD BE AROUND $2500-$3000 TO FIX. I ENDED UP TAKING IT TO A DIFFERENT AUTO SHOP TO HAVE IT FIXED AT A MUCH MORE REASONABLE PRICE. NOW, THE SECOND TIME HAPPENED JUST A FEW DAYS AGO, I WAS ONCE AGAIN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, (PLEASE NOTE, I HAVE NOT USED THIS SKY SLIDER SINCE HAVING IT REPAIRED TWO YEARS AGO IN FEAR THAT IT WOULD BREAK AGAIN) AND WHILE MY ROOF WAS CLOSED I ONCE AGAIN NOTICED THAT I COULD SEE DAY LIGHT BETWEEN MY CAR AND MY SKY SLIDER. PULLING OFF THE HIGHWAY I GET OUT AND CHECK, ONLY TO NOTICE THAT THE TWO BACK ENDS OF THIS ROOF HAD BEEN COMPLETELY BROKE OFF THE TRACK AND HAD BEGAN TO FLAP IN THE WIND WHILE DRIVING. NOW WITH FEAR OF IT RIPPING OFF COMPLETELY AND HITTING THE CAR BEHIND ME I AM STRANDED. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO TWO DEALERSHIPS SINCE, TO LEARN THAT CHRYSLER HAS DISCONTINUED MAKING THIS FEATURE, KNOWING THE PROBLEMS IT HAS, HOWEVER BOTH DEALERSHIPS TOLD ME THE SAME THING, THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO

THE DOOR LOCKS IN THE CAR NO LONGER LOCK, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID DOESN'T COME OUT ANYMORE, AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORKS SOME TIMES. ALL OF THE PROBLEMS LISTED AFTER CAN AFFECT THE OWNER OF THE CAR, AND ANY PASSENGERS. ESPECIALLY THE DOOR LOCKS I KNOW ME MYSELF I HAVE TWO YOUNGER CHILDREN WHO COULD BE EFFECTED BY THIS HAZARD DO TO THE DOORS NOT LOCKING ON THEIR OWN. ALSO THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE A BIG MUST TO CLEAN DEBRIS OFF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD IS NEEDED, AND THE FLUID AS WELL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN IT RAINED, WATER ENTERED THE VEHICLE FROM THE LIFT GATE. THE CONTACT HAD TO PLACE BUCKETS IN THE VEHICLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM FLOODING. A DEALER WAS NOTIFIED BUT STATED THEY WERE TOO BACKED UP TO DIAGNOSIS THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 53,000.

MY ROOF IS A SOFT TOP . SOME HOW IT SHORTED OUT. BURNING UP MY BATTERY, MY ROOF WILL NOT CLOSE HOW EVER IT OPENED OWN ITS ON. MY OUTLET NEVER HAVE WORKED. SO I HAVE LEEKS LEFT AND RIGHT FRONT INSIDE. *TR

THE SKYSLIDER ROOF SYSTEM HAS FAILED. THE ROOF OPENED AS NORMAL BUT FAILED TO CLOSE WHEN BUTTON WAS CLOSED. ON INVESTIGATION OF THE ROOF TOP I FOUND THE SKY SLIDER ROOF HAD COME OFF THE TRACK. WHEN I TOOK THE JEEP TO THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD ONLY REPLACE THE ROOF AT A COST OF 1500.00. I TOOK THE CAR HOME AND WAS ABLE TO MANUALLY PULL THE ROOF BACK INTO PLACE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN DEFECT WITH THE ROOF SYSTEMS AS THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT WIND NOISE AND THE SKYSLIDER FAILING AND CHRYSLER JEEP IGNORING THE PROBLEM. *TR

THE SKY SLIDER ROOF ON MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY BEGAN TO OPEN DUE TO THE WIND FLOW AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I PULLED OFF OF THE HIGHWAY TO ATTEMPT TO CLOSE THE ROOF. I WAS UNABLE TO CLOSE THE ROOF AS IT APPEARED TO BE OFF ITS' TRACKS. I TOOK SURFACE ROADS HOME AS I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE ROOF'S STABILITY AT HIGH SPEEDS. ONCE HOME WE WERE ABLE TO CLOSE THE ROOF MOST OF THE WAY MANUALLY. I RESEACHED THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND MULTIPLE CASES OF THIS ROOF FAILING. IN SOME CASES THE ROOF ACTUALLY FLEW OFF AND CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. APPARENTLY CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN GIVE ME IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ROOF'S STABILITY, ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE JEEP UP WITH GAS, NO MATTER IF THE PUMP HANDLE IS LOCKED OR I'M MANUALLY PUMPING, AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS I HAVE EXPERIENCED OVERFLOW. IT RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AT DIFFERENT STATIONS. IT SEEMS DANGEROUS, BECAUSE THIS COULD BE A FIRE HAZARD, AND IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON LINE, BUT WHEN I CHECKED WITH THE DEALER, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE NOT COME ACROSS THIS PROBLEM. . I TRY TO PUMP AS SLOW AS POSSIBLE WHEN I KNOW IT IS NEAR FULL, BUT STILL GET GAS COMING OUT EVERY TIME THAT I LET IT GO UNTIL THE PUMP STOPS. I AM NOT FILLING PAST THE FIRST PUMP SHUT OFF. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE FIXING. *TR

APPROXIMATELY 1 IN 3 TIMES I FILL THE GAS TANK THE AUTO SHUTOFF FAILS AND SPEWS GAS OUT ONTO THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND (APPROX 2 CUPS). I WAS TOLD BY JEEP THAT THE GAS TANK MUST BE REPLACED DUE TO THE FAILURE OF AN INTERNAL SENSOR AT A COST OF $600. AFTER A BRIEF ON-LINE INVESTIGATION I NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED BY AT LEAST SCORES OF OTHER JEEP OWNERS. THIS IS MORE THAN AN INCONVENIENCE DUE TO DISCHARGE OF A FLAMMABLE LIQUID. IN MY 40 PLUS YEARS OF DRIVING I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM AND THEREFORE BELIEVE IT TO BE A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT ISSUE. THIS OCCURS AT VARIED GAS STATIONS AND THEREFORE IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH FAULTY EQUIPMENT AT THE STATIONS. *TR

WHILE FILLING UP MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY AFTER THE GAS SHUTS OFF AT THE PUMP THERE IS GAS OVER FLOW FROM THE TANK ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK AND THE GROUND BELOW. I DO NOT OVER FILL MY GAS TANK AND I EVEN TRY TO STOP BEFORE THE TANK IS COMPLETELY FULL, YET THERE IS GAS THAT FLOWS BACK OUT OF THE TANK AFTER FILLING UP MY VEHICLE. THIS IS A CONTINUAL ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN I FILL IT UP AND I FILL UP AT LEAST 2 TIMES A WEEK DUE TO THE LONG COMMUTE THAT I HAVE. I FIND THAT THIS IS A HAZARD BECAUSE I PUT MY 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE VEHICLE USING THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR PASSENGER DOOR AND THE GASOLINE THAT HAS SPILLED IS USUALLY STILL PRESENT NO MATTER HOW CAREFULLY I TRY TO CLEAN IT UP AND OFF OF THE VEHICLE. ALSO THERE IS ALWAYS GASOLINE ON THE GROUND AT THE PUMP AFTER I AM DONE PUMPING GAS WHICH CANNOT BE GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT OR THE NEXT PERSON WHO HAS TO GET GAS AFTER ME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE CRACKED AND SEPARATED FROM THE DOOR PANEL. THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR COULD ONLY BE OPENED FROM THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR PANEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000 AND THE APPROXIMATE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 69,200.

WHEN FILLING THE JEEP UP WITH GAS, NO MATTER IF THE PUMP HANDLE IS LOCKED OR I'M MANUALLY PUMPING, IT WILL SPEW GAS OUT ALL OVER. THIS GETS ON ME, ALL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP AND ASKED ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THE LADY IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT LOOKED MY VIN UP AND SAID NO, THERE WAS NO KNOWN PROBLEM. SHE SAID I COULD BRING THE JEEP IN AND LET THEM LOOK AT IT. OF COURSE, THIS WILL COST ME $85 FOR A DIAGNOSTICS TEST. THIS GAS SPEWING ALL OVER HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES AND AT DIFFERENT STATIONS. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THERE IS NOT A KNOWN PROBLEM. AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET, I FIND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. I HOPE THEY WAKE UP SOON. *TR

EVERY TIME WE FILL THE GAS TANK, THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWS. *TR

FUEL BURPS OUT AFTER GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A USED 2008 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT 4X4. FOR THE FIRST COUPLE MONTHS, I HAD NO ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. RECENTLY, EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK, NO MATTER WHICH STATION OR BRAND OF GASOLINE, THE FUEL TANK OVERFILLS AND SPITS GAS OUT. THE PUMP WILL CLICK OFF, BUT IT IS CLICKING OFF TOO LATE AND GAS IS SPILLING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, ONTO ME, AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS A MAJOR HEALTH ISSUE TO HAVE GASOLINE ON MY SKIN, CLOTHES, AND TO BE BREATHING IN THE TOXIC FUMES. ADDITIONALLY, THIS IS A MAJOR ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE, AS GAS IS SPILLING OUT ONTO THE GROUND. FINALLY, THIS COULD QUICKLY BECOME VERY DANGEROUS. IT ALSO APPEARS, BASED ON SOME BASIC INTERNET RESEARCH, THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER VEHICLES, ESPECIALLY THESE JEEP LIBERTY MODELS. I'M A BIT PERPLEXED WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ISSUED ON THIS. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE TANK WITH GAS, THE GAS SHOOTS OUT OF THE TANK WHEN REMOVING THE NOZZLE, SPRAYING ALL OVER THE CAR, MYSELF AND THE GROUND. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE PUMP AT THE GAS STATION BUT IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A PROBLEM WITH THE VALVE IN THE TANK, WHICH CANNOT BE FIXED UNLESS YOU REPLACE THE ENTIRE GAS TANK AT THE COST OF $800. *TR

THE FUEL OVERFLOWS WHEN FILLING TANK WHICH CAUSES A VAST AMOUNT OF FUEL TO SPILL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ON THE GROUND....THIS IS A GREAT SAFETY HAZARD AND IS CLEARLY A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THESE JEEPS. MADE PHONE CALLS TO DEALER AND CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. CHRYSLER SAID TO BRING TO A DEALER AND HAVE IT DIAGNOSED...IF DEALER FEELS IT'S AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ON A RECALL THEN CALL CHRYSLER BACK AND THEY MAY BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING TO COVER THE SERVICE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING, GASOLINE SPRAYED OUT AND ONTO THE CONTACT'S CLOTHING. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE CONTACT WAS REFUELING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 38,000.
