2008 Jeep Liberty

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 AND ONCE AGAIN I WOULD NEED TO PUT $2500-$3000 INTO FIXING IT, AGAIN! I'M CONCERNED TO RE FIX THIS VEHICLE AND ONCE AGAIN BE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY ROOF STARTS TO RIP OFF, CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD FOR ANYONE THAT MIGHT BE ON THE HIGHWAY AT THE TIME. *TR

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.

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
