ON MY JEEP LIBERTY KK I HAVE THE POWER SKYSLIDER. IT CONSTANTLY COMES OFF TRACK AND DOESN'T CLOSE SO WHEN I GET IN THE CAR AFTER IT RAINS EVERYTHING IS WET. IT HAS COME TO THAT IM AFRAID THAT WHEN I'M DRIVING AT HIGH WAY SPEEDS THAT THE ROOF WITH FLY OFF AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I DIDN'T DO ANTTHING TO CAUSE THIS ISSUE. IT IS A DESIGN FLAW BY JEEP AND I WANT THEM TO OWN UP TO IT AND PUT OUT A RECALL BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE AND IMPRACTICAL TO USE THE CAR AFTER IT RAINS.

VARIOUS ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS WOULD SPONTANEOUSLY TURN ON WHILE DRIVING OR PARKED. MY WIPERS (FRONT AND BACK) WOULD TURN ON FULL SPEED, MY HORN WOULD BLAST, LIGHTS WOULD DIM. EVEN WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF, THESE SYSTEMS STAY ON. WHEN I OPEN THE DRIVERS DOOR, THE WIPERS WOULD OCCASIONALLY MOVE 1-2 INCHES.

INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. WHEN STARTING CAR, WIPERS COME ON AND TURN SIGNALS FAIL TO WORK. THE ONLY WAY TO GET WIPERS TO STOP IS TO PULL THE FUSE. TURN SIGNALS REMAIN INOPERABLE. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR OVER 2 YEARS. HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES. DEALER CLAIMS THEY CANNOT LOCATE A PROBLEM; HOWEVER, THERE CLEARLY IS A PROBLEM. DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING CAR WITH WIPERS GOING AND NO TURN SIGNALS. WE HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAINING ON. VERY DISTRACTING TO DRIVER AT NIGHT. AGAIN, TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AND THEY CANNOT FIND A PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP ISSUE OCCURS WHILE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. WE DRIVE CITY AND HIGHWAY STREETS.

STARTED CAR, STOPPED AT LIGHT, MADE A TURN. HORN STARTED BLARING, FRONT AND REAR WIPERS WENT ON WITH SPRAY IN REAR, DASHBOARD LIGHTS WENT CRAZY. PULLED INTO "GREASE MONKEY" PUT IT IN PARK, WOULDN'T TURN OFF, TOOK OUT KEY, STILL RUNNING. GREASE MONKEY EMPLOYEE REMOVED FUSE TO STOP HORN, BUT EVERYTHING ELSE WAS STILL GOING, EVEN AFTER DISCONNECTING BATTERY. AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES (WHILE WAITING FOR AAA), ENGINE STARTING SMOKING. NOT SURE WHAT HE DID, BUT EMPLOYEE FINALLY GOT IT TO TURN OFF. THERE WAS ALSO SOMETHING DRIPPING UNDER THE CAR. AAA TOWED IT TO THE CLOSEST AAA-APPROVED MECHANIC. DIAGNOSIS: TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED TO THE TUNE O $1400.00. I FEEL THIS DEFINITELY CREATED AN UNSAFE CONDITION, ESPECIALLY IF IT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE I WOULD NOT HAVE HAD IMMEDIATE HELP. WHO KNOWS WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED -- AN ACCIDENT, A FIRE?? SINCE IT IS A HOLIDAY WEEKEND AND THE PART HAD TO BE ORDERED, MY CAR WON'T BE WORKED ON UNTIL TUESDAY, 9/6; THEREFORE, I DO NOT HAVE AN INVOICE YET.

I CALLED JEEP AND THEY WERE NOT VERY NICE AND ARE NOT WILLING TO HELP PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. IF YOU LOOK IT UP ON THE INTERNET MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. WHY WASN'T IT RECALLED.

I TOOK IT TO BACK TO THE BUSINESS THAT REPLACED THE SKY SLIDER IN 2013, PAYMER & PHILLIPS, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE REPLACED SEVERAL 2008 JEEP LIBERTY SKY SLIDERS. THEY SHOWED ME THE PLASTIC PIECE WHICH WAS BROKEN WHICH IS THE REASON WHY THE SKY SLIDER WHICH IS A CONVERTIBLE TOP, WOULD NOT CLOSE. THE FIRST TIME, THE REPAIRS COST $3362.81. TODAY I WAS TOLD THE REPAIR COST WOULD BE $2768. IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT I CONTACT CHRYSLER AND REPORT THIS INCIDENT AND ASK THEM TO ABSORB THE COST. I HAVE YET TO HEAR FROM A CASE MANAGER AS OF TODAY.

Official recalls
4Apr 3, 2013
Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2007-2008 Dodge Nitro 4X2 vehicles manufactured March 21, 2006, through March 1, 2008; and 2008 Jeep Liberty 4X2 vehicles manufactured February 15, 2007, through March 1, 2008. The transfer case heat shield may drop down and rub on the drive shaft, weakening it and potentially causing the drive shaft to break.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: 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. Additionally, the drive shaft failure will result in a loss of motive power. Either condition may increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will add a bracket to support the rear of the heat shield, free of charge. An interim letter was mailed to owners on May 29, 2013. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-247-9753. Chrysler's recall campaign number is N10.

1DP14004 · Totally Integrated Power Module Failure
Opened Sep 25, 2014 · Closed Jul 24, 2015
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Electrical System
In a letter dated August 21, 2014, the Center for Auto Safety (CAS) petitioned the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to initiate a defect investigation of alleged failures associated with the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) installed in Chrysler SUV?s, trucks, and vans beginning in the 2007 model year. The petitioner alleges that TIPM defects may result in engine stall, airbag non-deployment, failure of fuel pump shutoff resulting in unintended acceleration, fire, and other symptoms. On September 25, 2014, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened DP14-004 to evaluate the petition for a grant or deny decision. ODI analyzed complaint data provided by CAS as well as complaints submitted to ODI from consumers. In total, there were 296 complaints submitted by the petitioner in the original petition and five supplements, including 271 complaints related to the subject vehicles equipped with TIPM-7. Approximately 3 percent of CAS complaints are related to vehicles equipped with TIPM-6 and ODI?s review of these complaints did not identify any safety defect trends. ODI conducted a detailed review of complaints narratives submitted by CAS and consumers including careful analysis of vehicle repair histories, warranty claims obtained from the manufacturer and any available Customer Assistance Inquiry reports (CAIR). Analysis of the field data indicated that MY2011-2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango vehicles exhibited significantly higher complaint rates related to fuel pump relay (FPR) failures than other subject vehicles. In a September 3, 2014 letter to NHTSA, Chrysler submitted a Defect Information Report (DIR) identifying a defect in the FPR within the TIPM-7 which can result in a no start or stall condition in approximately 188,723 model year (MY) 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee (WK) and Dodge Durango (WD) vehicles manufactured from January 5, 2010 through July 20, 2011 (14V-530).In a February 24, 2015 letter, Chrysler submitted a second DIR expanding the scope of the FPR defect condition to include an additional 338,216 MY 2012 through 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured from September 17, 2010 through August 19, 2013 and MY 2012 through 2013 Dodge Durango vehicles manufactured from January 18, 2011 through August 19, 2013 (15V-115).ODI analysis of the CAS allegations of TIPM defects resulting in stall while driving, airbag non-deployment, unintended acceleration, fire and other faults identified a single defect condition related to 1 of over 60 different circuits in the TIPM assembly. The most common effect of this defect condition, related to the fuel pump relay, was a no-start concern, but it could also result in stall while driving (76 complaints). No valid evidence was presented in support of claims related to airbag non-deployment, unintended acceleration or fire resulting from TIPM faults and these claims were found to be wholly without merit based on review of the field data and design of the relevant systems and components.Except insofar as the petitioner's contentions relate to the defect condition addressed by the Chrysler recalls, the factual bases of the petitioner's contentions that any further investigation is necessary are unsupported. In our view, additional investigation is unlikely to result in a finding that a defect related to motor vehicle safety exists or a NHTSA order for the notification and remedy of a safety-related defect as alleged by the petitioner at the conclusion of the requested investigation. Therefore, in view of the need to allocate and prioritize NHTSA's limited resources to best accomplish the agency's safety mission, the petition is den
