2009 Jeep Liberty

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT PRESSED THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE REMOTE TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE STARTED. THE CONTACT UNLOCKED THE VEHICLE AND SHUT IT OFF. THE CONTACT CHECKED THE REMOTE FOR AN AUTO START FUNCTION; HOWEVER, THERE WAS NONE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

2009 JEEP LIBERTY WITH THE "SKYSLIDER" ROOF (RETRACTABLE). WHILE INCREASING VEHICLE SPEED ON A HIGHWAY ROAD, ONE OF THE FOUR (4) ARMS THAT SECURES THE ROOF TO THE TOP OF THE CAR, SHEERED. THE INCIDENT CAUSES THE ROOF TO COLLAPSE. FEARING FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHER DRIVERS NEARBY, I SLOWED MY VEHICLE TO 60 MPH. WHEN IT WAS SAFE FOR ME TO DO SO, I PULLED OVER TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. UPON INSPECTING THE ROOF, I CONCLUDED THAT THE BREAKAGE WAS LINKED TO AN ARM/LEVER, WHOSE COMPOSITION IS MAINLY CASTED ALUMINUM. THE VEHICLE WAS EVENTUALLY TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP. WHILE AT THE REPAIR SHOP, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING WITH THE SKYSLIDER ROOF AND THEY WERE SURPRISED TO SEE THAT CHRYSLER HAS YET TO ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL FOR THESE PARTICULAR MODELS. THE REPAIR FOR THIS ROOF WILL COST GREATER THAN $2,500. *TR

THE ROOF AND COOLANT RESERVOIR ARE LEAKING. ON JULY 30, 2015, I BROUGHT MY 2009 JEEP LIBERTY TO PHILLIPS CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE FOR REPAIRS. PER TEST RESULTS, THE SUN ROOF DRAINS WERE CLOGGED; HOWEVER, NO LEAKS WERE DETECTED IN THE COOLANT RESERVOIR. I AM CONTINUOUSLY FILLING THE RESERVOIR WITH COOLANT WHICH CONTINUES TO LEAK FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE AND POSSIBLE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR. THE ROOF CONTINUES TO LEAK, BUT THE LEAK IS NOW IN THE HATCH AREA. ALSO, THE LOCKS ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL SOMETIMES NOT UNLOCK WHEN I USED THE HANDLE. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED AT PHILLIPS ON AUGUST 26, 2015.

I ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE SKYSLIDER ROOF AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I ATTEMPTED IT A FEW TIMES, THEN STOPPED FOR FEAR OF NOT BEING ABLE TO CLOSE IT IF IT DID ACTUALLY OPEN. I STARTED RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND I HAVE FOUND THAT CHRYSLER IS WELL AWARE OF THE DEFECT WITH EVERY MODEL OF JEEP THAT HAS THE SKYSLIDER OPTION. NOT ONLY DO THEY NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR DEFECT AND ISSUE RECALLS FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS, BUT THEY CHARGE THOUSANDS TO FIX A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE. I BOUGHT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND NEED TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC JUST TO BE TOLD IT WON'T BE COVERED. SCAM. I'M NONE TOO PLEASED. A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT NEEDS TO HAPPEN.

THE SLIDER ROOF WHICH WORKED GREAT IN THE FALL OF 2013 WOULD NOT WORK. NO NOISE, NO MOVEMENT, NOTHING. LIKE IT WAS NOT GETTING POWER. TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID ALL THE MOTORS WERE WORKING WHEN HE JUMPED THEM SO HE THOUGHT IT WAS A COMPUTER PROBLEM. JEEP WANTED $1800 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. SEEMS LIKE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY HAS A RECALL NOT BEEN FORCED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SLIDER ROOF HESITATED TO OPERATE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND THE REARVIEW MIRROR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RIGHT AND LEFT SIDE PINS WERE FRACTURED AND THE SLIDER ROOF NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 104,968.

I'VE NOTICED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS HAVING AN ISSUING ACCELERATING LATELY. I WENT FOR MY ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD THE FUEL PUMP NEEDS TO BE REPLACE AND IT WOULD BE THE REASON FOR THE ISSUE WITH ACCELERATING. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT IT IS REALLY COMMON WITH THE JEEPS AND UNFORTUNATELY THE PART IS NOT EXPENSIVE BUT THE LABOR IS BECAUSE THEY NEED TO REMOVE THE ENGINE TO REPLACE IT. IF IT IS AS COMMON AS A PROBLEM AS THE MECHANIC STATES, WHY IS THERE NO RECALL? I SEE THERE IS A RECALL ON JEEP LIBERTIES FOR A SIMILAR ISSUE FOR 2002-2007. COULD THERE STILL POSSIBLY BE THIS ISSUE IN THE 2009 MODELS AS WELL?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH, THE SKY SLIDER ROOF FAILED TO AUTOMATICALLY CLOSE. THE CONTACT HAD TO MANUALLY CLOSE THE SLIDER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER AND AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000.
