2008 Jeep Liberty

1ST INCIDENT OCCURRED IN MARCH 2013. I WAS DRIVING TO WORK IN A 25MPH ZONE. SUDDENLY, THE HORN STARTED BEEPING, WINDSHIELD WIPERS (FRONT AND REAR) WERE GOING, WASHER FLUID WAS POURING OUT, POWER DOOR LOCKS WHERE GOING ON AND OFF. HAD TO PULL OVER BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE WITH THE FLUID SPRAYING OUT AT FULL SPEED. I TURN THE CAR OFF AND REMOVED KEY FROM THE IGNITION AND THIS CONTINUED TO GO ON FOR 5 MINUTES. BROUGHT THE CAR TO MANFREDI DEALERSHIP. THEY REPLACED THE TIPM MODULE WHICH WAS VERY COSTLY. A YEAR AND 1/2 LATER ON MAY 18, 2015, I EXPERIENCED THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THERE IS DEFINITELY A MAJOR FLAW WITH THIS PART. IT'S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN THIS OCCURS ON A HIGHWAY/TURNPIKE DOING THE SPEED LIMIT. THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE TO PAY FOR YET ANOTHER TIPM. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER THEY EXPLAINED IT'S ONLY A 1 YEAR/12 MONTHS GUARANTEE, BUT THIS PART SHOULD LAST AT LEAST 5 YEARS. REALLY???

I HAVE ONLY OWNED THE 08 LIBERTY FOR 3 MONTHS NOW AND I STARTED SEEING LITTLE SPOTS NEAR THE CURTAIN AIRBAGS ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE, BUT WHEN IT RAINS A LOT OR I GET MY CAR WASHED THE SPOTS GET BIGGER AND NOW IT'S COMING DOWN FROM THE MAP LIGHT WHICH TO ME IS VERY DANGEROUS AND DISTRACTING WHILE NOT TO MENTION ITS LEAKING ON THE CARS COMPONENTS AS WELL. IT ALSO HAS STARTED MAKING SOME LIGHTS NOT WORK. I'M NOT SURE IF I'M RIGHT BUT I DO SEE SPOTS BEHIND THE WINDSHIELD SO I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THE WINDSHIELD BUT IT'S COMING IN MUCH FATHER NOW. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON A MAIN 2 LANE, 2 WAY ROAD AND I NOTICED THAT THE RPMS WERE SUDDENLY DECREASING EVEN THOUGH MY FOOT WAS ON THE GAS. I HAD VERY LITTLE TIME TO PULL SOMEWHAT TO THE SIDE BEFORE IT COMPLETELY DIED ON ME. I WAS JUST ABOUT TO GET ONTO THE HIGHWAY, THIS COULD HAVE WENT OUT ON ME WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH VERY LITTLE TIME OR WARNING! THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME IT HAS HAPPENED EITHER IT HAPPENED A FEW DAYS BEFORE THIS AS WELL BUT LUCKILY I WAS PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY CONCERN! I MIGHT NOT BE THIS LUCKY THE NEXT TIME!!! IS JEEP GOING TO WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE BEFORE THEY FIX IT?!? I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND IT SEEMS THAT IT COULD BE THE TIPM WHICH THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS BY JEEP FOR THIS ON OTHER MODELS AND YEARS, WHY NOT THE LIBERTY?! IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS FOR IT. I HAVE ALREADY HAD ISSUES WITH MY FUEL PUMP AND NOW THIS! *TR

WHEN USING MY REMOTE TO UNLOCK MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY, THE HORN STARTS HONKING, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS (FRONT AND BACK) TURN ON, THE WINDSHIELD WASHERS (FRONT AND BACK) SHOOT FLUID, THE DOOR LOCKS WON'T OPEN AND THE HEADLIGHTS TURN ON AND OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS. THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE ALSO STARTED TURNING OFF WHILE DRIVING AND I'M UNABLE TO TURN THEM BACK ON. *TR

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT NOTICE AND WILL NOT START RIGHT AWAY LEAVE SET FOR A 1/2 HOUR OR SO AND IT STARTS BACK UP BUT HORN BLOWS WIPERS COME ON AND DOORS WILL NOT UNLOCK AUTOMATICALLY THIS COULD BE A REAL PROBLEM IF IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO SHUTTING OFF ON THE FREEWAY AND I CAN NOT EXIT THE VEHICLE.I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM IS IN THE (TIPM) AND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS BUT THERE IS NO RECALL. THIS IN MY OPINION IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

THE CAR DECIDES WHEN IT WANTS TO START. IT JUST MAKES A CLUNKING NOISE, AFTER ABOUT 8 TRIES IT WILL START. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY, STARTER AND WIRING HARNESS. THE DOORS JUST STARTED TO NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK A FEW MONTHS BACK. THEY TOLD ME TO CHANGE THE TIPM. I HAVE PUT IN WELL OVER $1000.00 AN NOW THEY WANT ANOTHER $500.00. *TR

1 YEAR OLD BATTERY DIED, BOUGHT A NEW ONE EVERYTHING WORKED FINE FOR A MONTH, THEN MY EVAP SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED, BOUGHT NEW ONE HAD SYSTEM PRESSURIZED. OK EVERYTHING IS FINE FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS, LIGHTS FLICKER A LITTLE HERE AND THERE, CAR DOESN'T TURN OVER IMMEDIATELY, CD PLAYER SHUTS DOWN ON IT'S OWN, LOST POSITRAC IN THE REAR, HEATER NOT WARM UNLESS OVER 2000 RPM, CAR STILL RUNS THOUGH. SO BATTERY DIES JUST UNDER 3 YERAS LATER (STILL UNDER WARRANTY) ODD.REPLACED FREE YAY, ONLY FREE THING IN THIS WHOLE ENDEAVOR. AFTER REPLACING BATTERY CLOCKSPRING GOES OUT, DAMMITT!!! REPLACED, NOT A WEEK LATER LOCK FUSES KEEP BLOWING. FOUND OUT ALTERNATOR HAS A BUILT IN RELAY THAT IF IT GOES WREAKS ABSOLUTE HORROR ON COMPUTOR, AND ENTIRE ELEC. SYSTEM, IT EVEN CONTROLS THE LIGHT ON YOUR DASHBOARD INDICATING THAT IT HAS GONE OUT,BRILLIANT. HAD I KNOWN THIS IT COULD'VE SAVED MANY HOURS AND CLOSE TO $1,500. THIS SHOULD BE FIXED. *TR

CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER BEING PARKED FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES. WE GUESSED IT WAS A BATTERY, STARTER OR ALTERNATOR. HAD TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE TIPM WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER FURTHER REVIEW, I SEE THAT I WAS A LUCKY ONE AS THE TIPM HAS ALL MANNER OF ISSUES WHEN IT STARTS TO GO BAD. THE DEALER IS TELLING ME I HAVE TO WAIT 3 WEEKS FOR A BACKORDERED PART DUE TO A NATIONAL RECALL OF OTHER MODEL YEARS. THIS IS GOING TO COST AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT IN BOTH REPAIR AND RENTAL CAR COSTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKERED, THE HORN ACTIVATED INDEPENDENTLY, AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WITH WIPER FLUID INDEPENDENTLY ACTIVATED. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE COULD BE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE 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.
