2008 Jeep Liberty

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER IT WOULD RAIN, RAIN WATER LEAKED INTO THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE ROOF AND THE DOME LIGHT, CAUSING THE DOME LIGHT TO FAIL. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 60,000.

BOUGHT THE JEEP NEW FROM JEEP DEALER AND IT CAME WITH A FACTORY INSTALLED 'SKYSLIDER'. WE HARDLY EVER USE THE SKYSLIDER AND AFTER A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM, WE NOTICED WHEN DRIVING THE JEEP, THERE WAS A POPPING NOISE. THE SKYSLIDER HAD BUNCHED UP AND WAS NOT CLOSING. TOOK THE JEEP TO OUR MECHANIC WHO ADVISED THAT THERE WAS A 1" PIECE ON THE TRACK THAT WAS BROKEN AND THE PART WOULD COST APPROX. $1900.!!!. I CALLED CHRYSLER BECAUSE THE JEEP IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND THIS IS A CLEAR DEFECT. CHRYSLER ADVISE ME TO TAKE THE JEEP TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS...A BROKEN PIECE ON THE FRAME WHICH NEEDED TO HAVE THE WHOLE FRAME REPLACED AT A COST OF - $4K. FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS. THE SKYSLIDER IS DEFECTIVE ON ALL 2008 JEEP LIBERTY MODELS AND THIS COULD CAUSE A FATALITY. THE SKYSLIDER IS MADE OF CANVAS AND CAN POP OFF THE TRACK AND FLY OFF. I CROSS A BRIDE DAILY AND CANNOT DRIVE MORE THAN 20MPH OR THE ROOF STARTS TO LIFT UP. *TR

THE SUNROOF LEAKS INTO THE HEADLINER CAUSING MOLD AND ALSO AFFECTING THE ELECTRICAL WIRES IN THE HEADLINER. WE HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD SON AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS COULD CAUSE A THREAT TO HIM AS WELL AS MY WIFE WHO'S DRIVES THE CAR. IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT JEEP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AS WELL AS OTHER MODELS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, I AM A WARE THAT IT IS A USED CAR BUT WITH THE RESEARCH THAT I HAVE DONE ITS NOT THE FACT THAT IT IS USED, IT WAS A PROBLEM THAT WAS WRONG WHEN THIS 2008 JEEP HAD WHEN IT ROLLED OFF THE LINE, AND I'M CONSERENED FOR MY WIFE AND SONS SAFETY AS WELL AS SO MANY OTHER DEALING WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM!!!! *TR

THE SKY SLIDER ROOF ON MY JEEP LIBERTY STOPPED CLOSING PROPERLY SEVERAL WEEKS AGO. AT FIRST IT WAS JUST LEAKING AND SMALL PARTS OF THE ROOF WOULDN'T CLOSE. EVENTUALLY IT PROGRESSED TO THE ENTIRE SKY SLIDER AND NOW WILL NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY AT BOTH ENDS. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A FAULTY PRODUCT MADE BY JEEP AND SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY! *TR

2008 JEEP LIBERTY WAS BROUGHT INTO DEALERSHIP DUE TO MANUFACTURING WEAKNESS WITH THE SKY SLIDER. ONE PRESS OF THE CLOSE BUTTON AND THE WHOLE BACK PORTION OF THE SKY SLIDER MISALIGNED AND WOULD NOT CLOSE. THE SERVICE REP. STATED THAT THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY LINE WAS DEFAULTED AND WOULD BE VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX. MEANWHILE, DUE TO THIS MANUFACTURING WEAKNESS, MY JEEP WAS NOT DRIVABLE DUE TO THE SKY SLIDER SLIDING FORWARD AND BACKWARD SUDDENLY AND LOUDLY EVERY TIME THE JEEP WAS DRIVEN OVER 35MPH. THE PROCESS IN GETTING THE JEEP REPAIRED HAS TAKEN OVER 3 WEEKS AND THE REPAIRS ARE STILL NOT COMPLETED AT THE TIME THIS COMPLIANT WAS SUBMITTED. THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION IS ASSISTING WITH THE REPAIRS, HOWEVER AT THIS TIME THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PRODUCT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN HE BEGAN TO RETRACT THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. THE PASSENGER SIDE PORTION OF THE TOP RETRACTED MUCH SLOWER THAN THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND THAT CAUSED THE TOP TO BE PULLED OFF ITS TRACK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENTIRE FRAMEWORK FOR THE ROOF WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SKY SLIDER DETACHED FROM THE TRACK AND THE SKY SLIDER COULD NOT BE CLOSED.

2008 JEEP LIBERTY. CONSUMER STATES SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED EACH TIME HE FILLED THE GAS TANK, GASOLINE SPILLED OUT OF THE FILL OPENING MOMENTS AFTER THE NOZZLE SHUT OFF WAS TRIGGERED. THE SPILL OCCURRED IN A BOILING TYPE MANNER AND THE VOLUME OF THE SPILL WAS SIGNIFICANT. THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED, THROUGHOUT THE THREE YEARS HE HAS OWNED THE VEHICLE, HE HAD A PROBLEM WITH RAIN GETTING INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE POINT OF ENTRY APPEARED TO BE AT THE TOP OF THE REAR LIFT GATE. THE WATER VOLUME WAS SIGNIFICANT AND NOT ONLY SOAKED THE REAR BED, BUT IT ALSO RAN TO THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND SOAKED THE FRONT PASSENGER CARPET. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED TWICE, WITH THE REPORT THAT SOME DRAINS PORTS WERE CLOGGED. THE LAST REPAIR INVOLVED SOME ADDITIONAL CAULKING. *JB
