1. Air bag light stays on 2. ABS light stays on 3. ESP BAS light stays on The vehicle has not been inspected and is available for inspection

Had the car for too years and just now all of a sudden air bag keeps coming on and off in the Red.

Snapped rear control arm. I own this vehicle in a salt state. no issues prior, it literally rusted and snapped with myself and my 5 year old in the car, causing me to lose control and almost crash.

Fuel Spit Back During Refueling. When refueling at any gas pump, flammable fuel almost always spits back out of the filler hose, down the side of the vehicle and pools on ground by the tire. There has been a recall issued for the same issue and same vehicle model: Jeep Liberty KK, which runs from 2008-12. However, the recall only covers year 2008.

While driving I heard a popping sound and felt the vehicle sway slightly. The vehicle continued to making intermittent banging noises towards the rear passenger side. Upon stopping and investigating I found the rear control arm had failed on the passenger side. I also examined the driver side rear control arm. It was intact but has significant rust, which likely contributed to the passenger side failure, as it also has significant rust. Car has been parked since the incident. I would like to know if the manufacturer/dealer will replace both components free of charge. There was a safety bulletin for the same issue for the 2004-2007 model year of the vehicle (18V-278). A search on the internet found the same failures in my model year for the lower control arms.

The Rear suspension lower control arms were rusted and cracked to the point they were close to breaking into pieces. There were no warning lamps, messages, or symptoms that alerted us to this problem - we happened to look under the car one day and noticed this. This problem was inspected, confirmed, and repaired by a local mechanic and reported to Jeep via their customer service. I am aware that this particular part caused a recall for the 2007 Jeep Liberty (and I'm guessing this is correlated with similar recalls in other manufacturers, e.g. the 2007-2011 Honda CRVs were recalled due to corrosion in the lower frame due to de-icing agents).

I'm the original owner of a 2009 Jeep Liberty with a Skyslider roof that I barely used. I was driving when the Sky Slider roof suddenly blew open and back, snapping the cables and launching pieces of parts like missiles. It was a terrifying experience for me and my young children. I have dealt with the very loud wind noise for the past 12 years after having it evaluated several times by dealerships and being told there was nothing that could be done about it. It can be even more overwhelming for children with Autism and/or sensory issues. Fortunately, I was able to avoid an on-road accident, but still was hit with those projectile pieces and now have the added financial component of having to pay for repairs on a vehicle that the dealership has said most of the replacement parts have been discontinued on. The internet is full of complaints regarding these Sky Slider roof life-threatening issues. Something needs to be done to protect consumers from the physical and financial harm of these vehicles.

The contact owns a 2009 Jeep Liberty. The contact stated while driving 20 MPH, he heard abnormal banging sounds coming from the rear of the vehicle and the vehicle was shuddering violently. The contact veered to the side of the road and exited the vehicle to determine the cause of the failure. The contact noticed that the rear tires had moved forward and were close to the wheel well. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that all four rear control arms were fractured. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V278000 (Suspension). The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 101,000.

THE SKY SLIDER PANORAMIC ROOF HAS SOME BROKEN INTERNAL PARTS AND WON'T FULLY CLOSE CAUSING LEAKING WATER AND LOUD WIND NOISE. ROANOKE JEEP DEALER SAYS THEY CAN'T GET REPLACEMENT PARTS AND THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX. I HAVE VISITED 4 OTHER SHOPS AND THE ONLY SOLUTION OFFERED IS TO REMOVE THE PANORAMIC ROOF AND REPLACE WITH FULL METAL ROOF WITH A COST OF $5000.
