2008 JEEP Liberty

The whole sky slider came off so now I have no roof

Won’t crank. Lights flash while parked. Horn blows while parked. Windshield wipers start when I’m off position. When key is out of ignition acts like it’s possessed.

Headlights randomly turn on and off, windshield wipers won\'t turn off, sometimes it won\'t start like it has no gas. The car has left a family member stranded and it sits in my driveway unsafe to drive with a faulty TIPM

My TIPM went out on my 2008 Liberty, a few weeks ago, windshield wipers turned on by themselves, horn blowing by its self, the jeep doesn\'t turn off even when the key isn\'t in the ignition, also the hazard lights turn on by themselves. It gotten to the point that the Jeep stopped in the middle of the road while i was driving. This is a very dangerous malfunction that cost a lot to fix and it isn\'t covered under my extended warranty. Chrysler should have recalled 2008 -2012 Jeep Liberties also.

My driver side window regulator has broken twice, I\'ve gotten it fixed once about 6 months ago and the part has already broken again. And my passenger side back window regulator has broken once this year about 3 months ago. I\'m sick of forking out money to fix this probably when it\'s the manufacturers that are at fault for putting cheap products that don\'t last!

Engine cranks over but won\'t start. It will happen several times in a short period of time, then works fine for several months. Also had an issue with it unlocking the doors on its own occasionally. It has approximately 130000 mi on it. it has had these problems for several years now.

Defective \"Total Integrated Power Module\". Daughter driving when locks start going up and down, front wipers and rear wiper going and spraying wiper fluid, horn constant beep, etc. almost causing a bad accident.

My car has been honking and all the window wipers go off sporadically when driving. This has happened on the highway, in standstill traffic and stopped at a red light. It has happened about 4 times in the last 2 months. It is not only embarrassing but it makes us nervous that the issue could get worse and lead to an accident in the future. We took it to Pep Boys and were told they can\'t diagnose it. I then called Crysler and they just told me to take it to a dealership. I did and the dealership didn\'t know how to fix it but sent us a quote for $3500 worth of other stuff we don\'t need fixed! My husband just picked up the car and it honked/window wipered 3 times in a 15 minute ride home. We are expecting our first baby any day now and are very nervous about the safety of the car. No one is willing to help at this point.

First off, this issue is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! It\'s already been to the dealership and all they want to do is beat around the bush and will not replace the TIPM! The dealership claims to not have a device to properly test the TIPM, and says its other parts causing the issue. My jeep\'s lights won\'t work correctly, my horn constantly blares, I\'ve spent almost a hundred dollars on windshield washer fluid because those constantly spray, and it\'s beginning to ruin parts inside of my vehicle! Today the fuze box was so hot it could have been on fire! Why is this not recalled?! So many people are having this issue, and the dealership refuses to replace the part in fear of having the record of it being replaced! We have spoke to cooperate as well and nothing is being done. All it takes is the TIPM freaking out causing a fire, or headlights to fail and causing an accident or death. This needs to be taken seriously! I love my Jeep to death, but to take my Jeep to the dealership to \"fix\" this issue, spend over 600 dollars to replace a melted cord and a burned out fan motor for ac/heat that could be causing these issues is a freaking joke, when the faulty TIPM caused the wire to melt!!

My 2008 Jeep liberty spews gas out the nozzle (where you full it) it geisers out every single time I fill the darn thing it\'s gotten to the point that I have to stand up wind so I don\'t get sprayed

It\'s done this since I bought it

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY DOORS NOT LOCKING AUTOMATICALLY OR WITH THE LOCKING MECHANISM ON THE KEY. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME I NEED A TIPM AT THE COST OF 800 DOLLARS PLUS. I HAVE HEARD THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLERS AND I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD DO A RECALL AND REPLACE THIS PART.

When I unlock the doors with my key fob or I can be driving down the road or sitting at a stop light, the horn honks continuously for 30-45 seconds and the windshield wipers (front and back) turn on full speed while spewing all of the washer fluid out. The dealer says they cannot assess the problem because they cannot “recreate” the event. This is very dangerous while driving! I have taken it to the dealer 3 times for this since buying the jeep 7 months ago.

TPIM found faulty. Horns, wipers, lights go off at random times while driving.

Electronics go haywire.

When unlocking the vehicle, the horn will start going off, the windshield wipers (front and back) turn on and the windshield washers (front and back) start spraying out fluid. The headlights also start flashing, but then stop working completely. This has happended several times in the last two months.

The car will not start on first second or third attempt etc. Have put in new battery, starter and changed the wiring harness over. Now they tell me to change the TIPM and that will allow me to lock and unlock doors and hope that it will make car start every time.

I have 2 problems number 1 the economy sucks it gets what the internet says it should but I think that is wrong I had a 2000 jeep grand cherokee with a v8 and I GOT 25 miles to the gallon on a highway and you would think av6 would get the same or better I do not no what else to say on this problem. Problem number2 is the gas tank spills fuel every time you fill up it splashes al over the left side of the jeep and people working the pumps have to cover up the gas so there will not be a fire and I feel there should be a recall to fix this problem some of the older jeeps have a recall but those do not do anything for my jeep
THANKS Donnie Montieth

November14,2014 The car was in the garage, went to start it when the wipers front and back started, windshield fluid going everywhere, horn going off, light and hazards flashing, CD changer changing, back window opening and locking system was also effected by locking it self. Car would not start. Had it towed to AutoNation of Mobile. Was told the battery had a dead cell. I paid for a new battery at a cost of $110.00 (battery was only 13 months old).
December 16, 2014 the same scenario except I just went to open the driver side door. Had it towed again to AutoNation of Mobile. Was told the problem was the Cluster-Instrument panel. Paid to have it replaced at a cost $962.00) Was told this was the problem.
At this time I called Chrysler Star Customer Service and was given a case worker and case number.
January 16, 2015 I went to open the passenger back seat door, while parked in my garage the horn went off. I called AutoNation of Mobile was told to go ahead and do my errands to see it it would happen again, and it did, at the store parking lot!!!! I immediately called AutoNation of Mobile told them what happened, the vehicle was towed once again. I was given a loaner to drive this time.
January 23, 2015 received a call to let me know that the problem was the TIPM had it replaced at a cost of $921.00. So far vehicle is running OK.
Over the last three months the vehicle had been taken twice to AutoNation due to the horn problem. They could never find the problem. During this time I was always in contact wit the case worker at Chrysler Customer Care.
The Case worker e-mailed information on the TIPM which there was a recall on September 21, 2014.
On February 2, 2015 mailed invoices and payments to Chrysler Customer Group asking for reimbursement also faxed same to Chrysler Group Customer Care on February 9th per case worker
After reading the eight page e-mail I am very blessed none of this happened while driving on the highway.

horns starts honking , windshield wipers just go on, air conditioning fan on and off, most importantly light panel where it show drive, neutral etc changes, no hazards they just stopped warning, no windshield fluid.

I have had a problem with fuel overflow when filling up since I purchased my Jeep Liberty in Clearwater, FL 7/28/2008. This was a new car purchase from Dayton Andrews.

For years I thought it was me or the gas stations had changed their pumps in a way that the shut off didn’t respond. So, I was happy when I received a letter from Chrysler about the problem and that I could take my vehicle and my wife’s identical vehicle in to be inspected. I did this at Fuhrman Jeep in Lutz, FL and was told they saw no problem with my fuel tank or fill tube.

We now live in Eureka Springs, AR and the problem persists and is getting worse. Even if I slow the pump speed to as low as I can get it, the overflow occurs, often getting gasoline on our clothes and shoes.

There are examples on YouTube (of a Wrangler) of the degree to which the overflow gushes out. It is really horrible and dangerous and expensive to try and get gasoline out of shoe leather.

There is a Jeep dealer in Cassville, MO 65625 (18565 SOUTH HWY 37) about 17 miles from Eureka Springs, AR where we live. I want this problem fixed by Chrysler.

Air Conditioning system quit working. I pulled fuses and reinstalled fuses to reset TIPM. System works now but control switch functions are reversed. Horn, wipers, lights and windshield wipers and washer would all come on at the same time while driving. Located fuses that supplied power to those components and removed them. Disconnected battery for 30 minutes then reconnected battery and reinstalled fuses. Problem gas not reoccurred since but TIPM failure is imminent.

The fuel tank overflows after filling it & it shuts off numerous times during filling (sometimes 20 or more!). This is when it is on the lowest setting or when I’m am holding it and going slowly. This happens every time I put gas in!

Once parked the heat sheild came up against the heater core and must have sparked causing it to catch fire under the hood! needs to be investigated before causing a possible fatal issue

On 17 february, with my foot on the brake, i placed my car into reverse to back into an available parking spot and the engine revved up on its own and shot the car backward at top speed hitting and toppling a san diego light post and stopping when it hit a tree. no one was injured thank goodness. i found on line that this had happened at least 31 times with a similar jeep liberty.

When filling fuel tank to full capacity and fuel flow is shut off, fuel comes back up out of fill port spilling at least 2 cups of gas over filler and ground. happens every time tank is filled full. this occurs while vehicle is stationary engine off while at any gas station. it is an apparent failure on a valve in the gas tank requiring entire tank to be replaced at the owners expense. is a known issue to manufacturer.

The vehicle starts good no problems during the fist start of the engine on the day, my work is a follows i make several stops during the day with an approximated 30 min in between, later during the day vehicle stalls, several lights on dash board flush and move, i have to make serval attempts to start the engine vehicle continue to stalls, at this pints the vehicle has staid several occasions at the dealer and different mechanic per the dealer they dint now why the vehicle is doing this , per mechanic starter, and alternator good. so far i had replace the battery, computer and pay for multiple inspections, this is frustrating, i also noticed online re search multiple jeep owners have the same complaint, any assistance is greatly appreciated. thank you .

The vehicle was in motion going about 40 miles per hour when the sky slider roof almost came off. it started flapping very bad. i had it fixed and it is broken again.

The fuel tank support rusts out from the inside to a point that it seems very unlikely it would be structurally sound in the event of an accident. it is very concerning that this would not puncture the tank and be a cause of fire instead of protecting the tank as it is marketed to do. there has been no incident yet, but after an accident would not be the time to find out. chrysler has reviewed this and will not take action.

Amongst other issues: vehicle fails to start occasionally, from both cold and warm states. from completely off, turning the key begins ignition but often does not start the vehicle. engine sputters but does not complete the start. on some occasions, depressing the gas pedal while trying to start the vehicle works, leading me to believe this is one of the widely reported tipm issues plaguing jeeps from 2007-2014. i conclude the fuel pump fails to receive a signal to start from the tipm which causes the ignition failure. in addition, i have had multiple electrical issues including doors locking and unlocking when the opposite corresponding buttons are pressed, windshield wipers turning on when the turn signal is used, warning lights on the dashboard reporting non-issues, failure of power steering, and failure to accelerate when the gas pedal is depressed. please address this issue as soon as possible.

My car has been honking and all the window wipers go off sporadically when driving. this has happened on the highway, in standstill traffic and stopped at a red light. it has happened about 4 times in the last 2 months. it is not only embarrassing but it makes us nervous that the issue could get worse and lead to an accident in the future. we took it to pep boys and were told they can't diagnose it. i then contacted crysler and they just told me to take it to a dealership. i did and the dealership didn't know how to fix it but sent us a quote for $3500 worth of other stuff we don't need fixed! my husband just picked up the car and it honked/window wipered 3 times in a 15 minute ride home. we are expecting our first baby any day now and are very nervous about the safety of the car. no one is willing to help at this point.

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.

This has happened multiple times, most recently on sept. 5, 2016. the car honks multiple times and all the window wipers start going. this has occured while in stand still traffic on the highway, on city streets and when stopped at a red light.

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.

Airbag light randomly comes on while driving and the dealer quoted me $400 to repair. i have a 3 and 5 year old. i am concerned that if the air bags deploy while driving with my kids in the car, our lives would be in danger. this cost is also not money that i have just sitting around in a bank account.

Airbag warning light stayed illuminated. this is the same incident reported in the 2012 jeep liberty which is being investigated. dealer said it "might " be harness but based on latest report read on the internet it appears to be the same. remedy the issue by having the controller replaced. i have not done this yet.

Tl* the contact's mother owns a 2008 jeep liberty. while the contact's mother was driving 60 mph, the sky slider roof opened independently and came off track. the driver was unable to close the sky slider. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 74,000.

The rear brake lines are mounted in such a way that they rub against the fuel lines as well as the transmission cooler line. this caused the break line to leak and the brakes to become non functional. fortunately i was able to notice this before a crash. my wife would not have been so lucky as she may have not noticed this. i had this happen as i was driving in traffic, and consider myself fortunate that i was able to get off the road.

The sky-slider literally flew off my car on the highway with my one year old daughter in the car while it was raining down! my poor baby.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. while the vehicle was stationary, the air bag indicator illuminated without warning. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 161,403.

When filling this vehicle with gas, gas with spew out all over the car and the person holding the nozzle that is still in the gas tank. no matter what gas station used/pump and no matter how slow or fast it is going. i do not " top off". the spillage can be between a cup to a half gallon for no reason in particular. this is a very dangerous issue and needs to be resolved.i have to guess each time how much to put in so i can limit the amount of fuel spillage. this has been happening for years with no resolution.

Had 4 new goodyear wrangler sra tires installed by sam's club on 5/3/2014.bought lifetime rotation/balance package at that time. have tires rotated/balanced routinely. alignment goes out each time and steering wheel also ends up out of the proper position. alignment is completed by a specialty shop. the shop tells me i have at least one or more defective tires. informed sam's club of issue on 4/10/2015 during the rotation/balance. had alignment done the previous day. sam's club denied any issue with these tires and would not follow up on it. have learned to rotate/balance first, then do alignment. certainly will not purchase goodyear again!

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. while driving 60 mph, the sun roof fractured. the dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was unknown.

Electrical issues is occuring with my 2008 jeep liberty. there has been times the car does not start at all. happens anytime of the day. after several tries, it starts. have switched ou the battery and checked the starter/alternator. sometimes the inside lights turn on by themselves. has stalled in the middle of the rode. hard to manevuer.

The front axles of the jeep are extremely heavily corroded beyond anything i've ever seen. the steel is easily removed by hand and the axle nut is no longer present. this affects both sides but no other steel parts appear to have the same corrosion issue. the axles are the original jeep parts from the factory. the vehicle was stationary when the issue was discovered.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. the contact stated that the sun roof failed to close. the vehicle was taken to the dealer but had not been diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 101,000. the vin was not available.

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.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. the contact stated that an abnormal noise was heard from the roof of the vehicle. the contact mentioned that the sun roof was stuck open and the switch failed to operate. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the sky slider roof was fractured and the electronic module needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 60,000. the vin was not provided.

Retractable roof broke while driving and almost flew off into traffic. luckily there was a passenger who was able to grap it before it flew off into traffic. a very bad safety issue, could have caused an accident. to have it repaired it is $600. we did not have it repaired. they were able to close the roof and disconnect it. 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.

Air bag sensor harness under seat is exposed and prone to break when rear seated passenger(s) are in vehicle. i have replaced the wiring connectors/wiring harness 3 times. one on drivers side and twice on passenger side. this has happened on the road while moving. if cruise control is on it will stop functioning until the car has been shut off and restarted.

Severe rusting of all suspension components. rf and lf cv joints rusted beyond repair. front brake rotors beyond repair. jeep dealers said vehicle has severe rusting and unsafe to drive. was told may not be worth repairing. most jeep liberties are covered under a recall except 2008. dealer said repairs would be in the thousands.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. while driving 20 mph, the horn and windshield wipers continued to operate independently. in addition, the contact stated that the windshield wiper fluid continued to spew out and failed to shut off. the vehicle was taken to a dealer, but the failure was unable to be diagnosed. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 98,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. while driving 65 mph, parts of the skyslider roof became detached from the vehicle and flapped in the wind. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the brackets and cables were fractured and needed replacement. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the issue. the failure mileage and vin were unavailable.

My light to air back is on all time i never do any recall by manufacturing also by test in the scanner show the abs need to replaced

Car automatically unlocks many times per day. no one around, no keys near by. car was key locked and this unlocking still continues. car is stationary parked in driveway. has happened several days. i reported only the beginning date

There is a grinding noice coming from either the transfer case or the dove shaft, either was it is loud and causes lights on the dash to come on and stay illuminated the lights are as follows: abs, traction control, esp bas, and service 4wd.

I'm speeding up as i'm passing a truck on 395, signaling with left blinker. start speed as beginning to pass is approx. 55 mph. i signal right as i pull back in the south bound lane, take my foot off the gas pedal as i notice i'm driving 80 mph. the gas pedal is stuck and the car is going 80 mph on its own. i step on the brake carefully but its rock hard and doesn't move at all. at this point the car is stuck at 80 mph. i try to brake again but the same - brake pedal is stuck, doesn't move at all and is rock hard. road conditions are good so i'm in a "controlled panic", and try the brake one more time. this time the brakes engage and i get the car down to 65 mph. i don't want to burn the brakes so i release the brake and immediately the car speeds up on its own to 80 mph. i repeat. slow to 65 mph, step off the brake and again the car immediately speeds up to 80 mph. at this point my thoughts go to cruise control (which i had not activated or used on this trip). i pull the "cancel" on the cruise control, nothing. i try again and look at the dashboard where the cruise control light is "off", indicating cruise control is not on. i turn the cruise control on and pull the "cancel" again and brake. this time the car comes out of it, and i turn the cruise control off again. since the cruise control was not even on to begin with, i don’t know if that’s what actually made the car “unfreeze”. i was lucky i was on a straight stretch of road with no traffic in front of me. since i was passing a truck i'm not 100% sure if i sped up to 80 mph or if the car suddenly did that on its own. i do believe the car did that, as there was no reason to get up to that speed to pass safely.

Blend door for defroster jammed at vents for a/c. actuator has been replaced twice. door to blend is jammed due to glue and foam. this is a safety hazard that jeep is aware of. windows suddenly fog up and no way to clear as the blend door is jammed. the repair is estimated at $500. this should not be born on the backs of the consumer as this is a known issue that jeep failed to fix properly through the history of the jeep liberty..

Fuel system, after filling tank with gas vehicle stalls after driving away from pump. vehicle stalls in traffic, at light and in intersections after filling up. my incidents have been many one time while merging into traffic from gas station, at a red light and has stalled right in middle of intersection with traffic. unknown the problem but vehicle is hesitant to restart after the shut down for approxinately 1 minute. *tr

Heater stopped working and passenger side floor is soaked.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. while the vehicle was in reverse, the contact heard a grinding/popping noise coming from the rear of the vehicle. it was noticed that the transfer heat shield detached and rubbed against the driveshaft. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 13v121000 (air bags, power train, structure). the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 194,232. *tr

This cars tipm system is extremely faulty i’ve had it fixed 3 already and it still acts as of it is possessed. this happened on the freeway where the car started going off by it’s self stalled and couldn’t do anything about it. i almost died. there has been many complaints about this vehicles tipm system but jeep refuses to recall them. also the airbags do not deploy. this is a huge safety issue

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. the contact stated that the vehicle was taken to szott m-59 chrysler jeep (6700 highland rd, white lake charter township, mi 48383) for routine vehicle maintenance. upon return of the vehicle, the air bag warning light flashed intermittently. the contact returned the vehicle to the same dealer to be diagnosed. the vehicle was diagnosed with a defective clockspring assembly. the manufacturer was notified of the failure but, offered no assistance. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was unknown.

I had a rear differential kit put in my car back in march 2016 and low and behold the same issue is going on now. i also had the front wheel bearing and hubs replace and still the whining nose.

The passenger back seat seatbelt thread came apart while my son was wearing it driving down the highway road when a car pulls out in front of me and had to do a quick stop lucky i was not in a accident.*dt*jb*dt*dt*jb*dt*dt*dt*dt consumer stated she had the vehicle for only 2 years.*jb vehicle was taken to the dealer but seatbelt replacement wasn't there.*jb the consumer provided photos. *tr the consumer stated the vehicle was repaired but the old parts were either disposed of by the dealer or possibly lost. *tr

All these complaints on the sky slider any class action lawsuits or chrysler issuing compensation? or buy backs?

I have a 2008 jeep liberty with a skyslider that recently broke. no one can repair or find parts to repair this. at high speeds the top can lift off of the vehicle and flap in the wind. it leaks water because it no longer seals. it poses a danger to myself and others when it catches wind becomes loose and lifts off of the jeep. its a distractions because it doesnt work correctly and period flappings cause me to look away from the road. i am currently use using pieces of metal to just keep in closed. the online community is asking for a recall and thinks this poses a danger to other drivers.

Our 2008 jeep liberty was parked in the driveway. all of the sudden the horn began honking on it's own, the vehicle started, the alternator made the belt burn, and the windshield wipers would not shut off. all of this was happening with no key in the ignition and the vehicle was locked. when we tried to put the key in the ignition, the vehicle would not stop making the noises or shut off.

Windsheild wiper motor/washer motor doesn't work. there was a recall. but my jeep liberty vin number wasn't included. it hasn't worked for a long time. i thought it was a leak in the hose. it's the motor, so i was told.

Ligth on the dash intermittently comes on while car is on montÓn., showing a person figure an sir picture!!

The airbag clock spring is needed to be replaced, it has to where all the lights come on the dash board and the part is only factory made at an outrageous price.

The tipm failed, causing all types of serious problems which you are already aware of.

While driving down the freeway, my vinyl sky slider roof flew off the tracks and broke the plastic pieces that hold the roof on. the roof is un repairable due to parts being discontinued. *tr

Sky slider is broke and nobody has the parts to fix it. it leaks water and doesn’t close all the way so the noise is awful. only fix it to screw it shut or replace with hard roof. we need replacement parts asap. *tr

When i am driving my jeep the parking break will randomly come on when i am driving down the highway or street. the heat shaft under my jeep completely fell off while i was driving 30 miles per hour on a city street. the electric windows, locks and auto start frequently glitch out where they just do not work at all. the cruise control works only about half of the time and will not turn on at all the other half of the time. *tr

The sky slider does not close properly which is causing water damage air leaks thru the whole thing and i live in cold mn so the winter its freezing also worried cuz it sounds like its going to blow off when driving above 20 mile a hour

Tipm failure in transit. jeep stalled on roadway. all dash lights lit, and "no bus" on the odometer. near collisions but lucky they managed to stop. 2008 jeep liberty limited. is not open for a recall on the tipm replacement though all other years with same module are. '07 09' and later. not safe. and potentially deadly.

The sky slider is known to leak, stop working, and is known to detach from vehicles while traveling. currently with mine it has stopped working, it leaks bad, and the parts that keep it secured have broken off causing wind to rush inside from both sides in the front.

The seatbelts have a trick i have to play with the drivers seatbelt to get it to click. the breaks have always squeaked and not stopped correctly the suspension feels off. the wheel turns to the left. i don’t know about the airbags because i have yet to get into a wreck. the wheel turned to the left staring up my car after getting gas causing me to smash in my passenger drivers side door. problems upon problems since i got the vehicle from four seasons auto in st.george utah. busy now has damage the engine gets hot and smelly. snow will literally blow through my defrost vents and hit me in the face with mists of snow.

It wouldn’t let me click on multiple other options like the windshield. snow blows through the front vent sometimes as i’m driving if i have it on regular heat or defrost. the breaks have always squeaked since i got the vehicle in 2018. i have to play with the seatbelt to get it to lock in place. the wheel sometimes turns on its own randomly to the left and the suspension is really off and bouncy.

My roof sky slider has been disconnected from the track that it connects to and will not stay on the roof without manual intervention. i currently have the roof taped down so it does not fly off while driving. with the slider being disconnected, it has caused many leaks to allow water into the inside of the vehicle, damaging the roof, floorboards, and has gotten into some of the electrical areas such as overhead lights above front dash. initial disconnect happened while driving and skyslider was closed. it started to open up in the front right corner from wind pressure and without pushing the button to open it. upon further investigation, it has been determined that the pins that keep the slider in place disconnected and will not connect back together. currently front passenger side, rear driver side, and rear passenger side all have disconnected pins and the slider will not stay on the roof without intervention. i have contacted chrysler and they said that there are no recalls for this issue. this is very much a safety issue as if i were to remove the tape holding the roof down, it would fly off while driving, putting myself and others in danger. mechanical malfunction (and poor manufacturing in my opinion) is the main problem that has caused this issue. i had used the slider less than 10 times before this happened. i contacted insurance to open a claim and they said it would fall under mechanical malfunction and that was not covered in my coverage.

Air bag warning light on dash,took to larry miller avondale to have it diagnosed as to what is cause,was told drivers airbag needs replaced,have called and tried to submit a claim with chrysler customer service 800-992-1997. i have a reference #,was told i'd have to pay $1300. out of pocket cause theres not a recall pending on my vehicle..but it's an airbag issue..had to wait 2 weeks to get into dealership with a appointment..

This vehicle has a broken control arm. while the 2008 liberty is not under recall the 2004-2007 liberty is under recall for this same issue. i feel this recall should be expanded.

2008 jeep liberty....the sunroof slider has almost flown off while driving at 40mph twice on city streets, it ripped off my stereo antenna and luckily it didnt fly off ...i've read about other 2008 jeep liberty owners having this same problem. chrysler is doing nothing about it!!!! i guess it's safe to assume that when the sunroof does fly off, kills somebody or maybe several people, maybe, chrysler will do something about this. what's this world coming too?

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. the contact stated that while attempting to move from a parked position, the vehicle called. the contact stated that the check engine light then illuminated. the contact stated also stated that the failure occurred while driving at various speeds. the contacted stated that the vehicle was inoperable. the contact also stated that the fuel pump and the fuse panel was replaced on three separate occasions by an independent mechanic however, the failure recurred. the contact was also informed that the failure was similar to manufacturer communication number: 10136536 (fuel system, gasoline). the manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. the contact was referred to the nhtsa to file a complaint. the approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

When starting my car it drives okay, but if let running all the lights come on, and if i drive 5 minutes down the road it goes off and then bings and all comes back on. i am being told it may be my clockspring and most 2008 jeeps are experiencing that after 100,000 miles but it is not a recall issue. i has the check engine on constantly as well as the airbag sensor.

2008 jeep liberty limited is unlocking on its own which is causing a safety hazard. my son removed the fuse, the door has to be locked manually. the only door that does not lock is the rear tailgate. the vehicle has been parked in the yard, at work, parking lots at the movies, the malls, etc. and when i returned to the vehicle it is unlocked. please advise your remedy to resolve this issue to keep the vehicle safe and locked at all times.

I was leaving wendys a fast food place and the headlights turned on then shut off i tried to turn them on again and they wouldn't come back on. i couldn't leave without lights so i disconnected the battery cables and tied them together for 10 minutes. then i restarted the car and they worked for a while.

Every time we refill the gas it come out like the car is burping..making imposible to no drop gas it going down over the mufle..happened parking enging offin any gas station my mechanic told me is a small valve e in the neck of the tank but the tank is plastic so ill have to replace the tank..whole set something about a valve

Vehicle is experiencing a tipms failure causing the door locks to not function along with sporadic events where all the gauges will go dead, all the warning lights will turn on, radio won't shut off, wipers turn on even when they are set to the off position. all of this occurs while driving the vehicle. turning off the vehicle fixes everything except the door locks for a random period of time.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. while driving 45 mph, the sky slider fractured and did not seal properly. the failure caused air to seep in and water to leak when it rained. in addition, the windshield wipers failed to deactivate. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the contact had the sky slider repaired six times under warranty at dutchess chrysler jeep dodge (2285 south rd, poughkeepsie, ny 12601, (845)-243-5687) where it was diagnosed that the sky slider motor needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired, but the failure intermittently recurred multiple times. the manufacturer was made aware of the failures and informed the contact that the part for the repair was no longer available. the failure mileage was approximately 48,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. on several occasions, the passenger side door lock failed to lock and unlock as intended. the contact stated that the vehicle was driven on the passenger side because it was used as for postal deliveries. the vehicle was diagnosed by an independent mechanic who stated that the totally integrated power module failed. roanoke motor company was contacted by phone at (309) 923-7171 and an appointment was scheduled to have the vehicle repaired, which was still pending. the manufacturer was informed of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 195,000.

Skyslider roof, stopped working many times between 2008 and 2018. this makes for a situation where the roof can open when driving. this has happened when moving and when stationary. i have never tried to open the roof when the car is moving. i have been waiting for motorworld in wilkes barre pa to fix the issue for over a year with no success.

"takata recall" i was driving on57th st west and my air-bag explode. i did not hit something or something hit me. it was a very,very scared moment. my right arm got burn. also my sister was in thevehicle wit me her air got burn also. thank you

I started my car and my headlights flashed on and off about 3 or 4 times. after that happened i have been unable to get my headlights to stay on the just flash and shut off. my fog lights work properly but other headlights just flash and stay off. i have checked fuses/relays and nothing has changed.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. while driving 25-30 mph and making a turn, the driver's air bag exploded without warning or an impact occurring. the contact sustained burn injuries from the deployment, but medical attention was not received. a police report was not filed. there was no fire. the vehicle was towed to an independent lot. the local dealer was not contacted. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: 59777684. the contact was referred to a local dealer. the failure mileage was 110,000 *dt

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 liberty. while operating the vehicle, the sky slider roof top malfunctioned and erroneously cracked open. it was later discovered that the top could not be closed properly. the vehicle was taken to daytona dodge chrysler jeep(1450 n. tomoka farms rd, daytona beach, fl) who indicated that the repairs for the sky slider roof top were no longer available. the manufacturer was notified and did not assist. the contact indicated that the vehicle was repaired two years previously for the same failure. the failure mileage was 94,000.

When trying to unlock with remote key, horn blares, wipers go, washer fluid sprays, locks go haywire. happens regularly now, also started while idling for awhile. concern is that it will do this when driving soon. on one occasion i started vehicle but it would not turn off while doing this. happened a least a dozen times in last 6-8 weeks.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. while driving 15 mph, a loud scraping noise was detected from the vehicle. the contact stated that the rear heat shield fractured. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic for diagnostic testing or repairs. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 91,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. the contact stated that the vehicle would not start. also, while the vehicle was in motion, the windshield wipers would activate, the horn would sound, the door locks would lock and unlock on their own, and the vehicle would not shift or exceed 20 mph. an independent mechanic diagnosed that the electrical system and totally integrated power module caused the failures. the mechanic also stated that the failures would occur with no key in the ignition. the dealer (ed voyles chrysler dodge jeep ram, 789 cobb pkwy se, marietta, ga 30060, (844) 715-5921) stated that since there was no recall they could not assist. the contact stated that the vehicle was repaired for the exact same failures back in 2016. the manufacturer stated that there was only a twelve month warranty on the original repairs performed in 2016. the failure mileage was 105,000.

Jeep liberty sky slider leaks. there are many complaints about this problem and jeep has not resolved. water runs inside the vehicle, has impacted the electrical components in the roof top and is a hazard to driver and passengers since we do not know what will happen day to day. this was clearly a poor design choice and jeep should repair and replace every single cloth rooftop that has been compromised. the cost is prohibitive and will likely fail again due to the design.

Once the vehicle has been driven and then turned off, it will not start for 20 to 30 minutes until it has cooled off. it is not showing any codes,not overheating or running hot, spark plugs, spark plug wires, alternator, and battery have been replaced. i've seen several complain about the same issue with 2002 liberties and newer. it is apparently an issue with a transmission shift module being too close to a heat source, and it can't tell the vehicle is in park until the engine cools down. if you drive it and leave it off for less than 5 minutes there is not an issue, but if it's turned off more than 5 minutes it takes between 20 and 30 minutes before it will start. it started several months ago so i'm not sure of the exact date. i can turn it off and do a remote start with the key and it will start back up if the remote start time hasn't expired yet, but i shouldn't have to do that to be able to start it again.

Takata recall sunroof has leaked since i owned it in '10 cleaned drains n it hasn't helped...my windows fog up due to moisture in car n can't keep them clear! heater has tore up from water leakage....water in wiring has messed my computer system up....took it to mechanic n they fave me 3pgs of codes it was showing...n refused to work on it! concerned about mold mildew in vehicle from moisture! heat shield fail off 6 yrs ago while driving down 4lane! my 4wheel drive has gone out....i have several lites on my dash check engine abs 4wheel drive...traction control....i can't rem. the others and my tire sensor went out rite after i bought it that let's u know u r air is low! my big concern is the water....i've gotten in my jeep after a storm n there b 3in of water in my floor board! i'm concerned my cabin is goin to collapse!and the black mold with cause me harm! i spent all my saved money n paid cash for my jeep when i bought it and can't afford another vehichle....i used my divorce settlement money to provide me what i thought was a reliable vehicle and i've got screwed! i can't afford another one! when driving the water will suddenly fall from cabin on u and drowned u scaring u shocking u.....this has nearly caused me to wreck! cuz u don't expect it to happen! wipers come on without turning them on....there's so much i can't think of it all

When starting vehicle it will not turn over. it continues to crank until ignition is switched off. this problem does not happen all the time and is very unpredictable. typically after several attempts the vehicle will start up correctly. the vehicle has done this in the cold and in the heat, after running fine all day or sitting turned off over night.

My airbag light stays on all the time.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. while driving 50 mph, the sun roof almost completely detached from the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to daytona dodge chrysler jeep ram (1450 n tomoka farms rd, suite a, daytona beach, fl 32124, (386) 274-0571) three times. the contact was informed that the sky slider sun roof brand was being discontinued while the part was still under warranty. the manufacturer was contacted and stated that nothing could be done. the failure mileage was 79,000.

We have had numerous electrical issues with this jeep which all come from thetipm and the ecm. we have replaced the tipm 3times now at over $1000.00 each time!!! this is the number one complaint on this vehicle and i have found thousands of complaints involving this part. something needs to be done about this. i am going to try and start a class action lawsuit against jeep seeings how they refuse to address this issue and make their customers pay thousands of dollars to fix the problem.

I was driving on the highway with the sky slider open and the wind snapped the roof off of the tracks causing it to fly back. i put a wind damage claim into usaa and was denied as they feel it is a manufacturer defect and the roof was poorly made unable to withstand normal driving speeds. after a nationwide search they were unable to find replacement parts and the vehicle is roofless and not able to be driven.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. while the contact was filling the fuel tank, the fuel pump sensor did not alert her that the tank was full. as a result, fuel spewed out of the tank. the failure recurred numerous times at different fuel stations. the contact stated that she could not fill the fuel tank because fuel would flow out. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the fuel station pump sensors failed. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist. the approximate failure mileage was 80,000.

Takata recall, and suddenly heard a pop in the rear, the vehicle shook, cut off and would not start, lighning bolt light and traction light came on. it did start but would not go about 20. made it home and parked. shop thinks it may be drive shaft but several things showing up on monitor.

Fuel spit back after putting gas in fuel tank. it doesn't matter has fast or slow gas is pump, gas spills out after refueling vehicle. large quantities of gas spray out of filler neck on person, vehicle and ground.

Heating issue. i know i am not the only jeep owner that has had this problem...it seems to be very common with no real "fix". the heat will stop working on the drivers side but continue to work on the passengers side. i have changed the actuator doors and flushed the heater core as per mechanics specifications and not even a year later we are back to the heater core again with the same issue. another jeep with the same issue at the mechanics said he has the same problem and the dealer did all the above and he still has issues. very expensive problems to constantly be having with a jeep only to not solve the issue.

I haven't had anything happened yet but i had a light on my dash that led me to doing some research which also led me to some recalls and what has happened to other people and it just worries me about my safety and for my children. i was inquiring about getting recall repairs made

Skyslider - the sky slider rear drive assembly is broken. i am not the only one with this problem, i know many others that are having to deal with this. even going over 20 mph it starts flapping in the wind. also it lets water in, mostly when it rains. come on fix this. i have to tarp my car every day just so the water doesn't get in and get mold.

The skyslider feature on the 2008-2012 jeep libertys are a monumental safety hazard. i purchased my 2008 jeep liberty on march 15th 2017. within 2 weeks after buying the skysliders pins broke and the skyslider flew back covering my back window. if i had not pulled over the slider could have completely detached and caused a major multi-vehicle collision. i discovered that the pins wear easily broken because they are made of plastic. i am appalled that there has never been a recall and the manufacturer refuses to correct this, especially after reading countless forums of those who have had the same experience.

The skyslider roof on my 2008 jeep liberty is broken and has been for years. i had it fixed while under warranty, but it broke several months later after my warranty expired. now i have been quoted $4000.00 to repair it again. it came off the tracks while driving and started flapping in the air. water leaks in the car even when the roof worked. the roof comes off the tracks and then breaks the cable that runs it. you can be stationary or moving. the second issue is the wheel speed sensors go out frequently, and disables your 4 wheel drive. so, if a sensor goes out while you are off roading, you are stuck..... thats really not cool if you are in a secluded place with no one around to help and zero cell service. just some really dumb engineering, and totally unsafe.

The security horn will go off for no reason and if you place the key in the ignition that wont stop it. i have read several reviews and other have had this problem. it cost me $380.00 to get a new key fob and the reset the computer system.

Airbag light randomly comes on while driving down the road.

Driving on nj turnpike horn starts blaring, wipers start going and the wiper fluid is spraying non stop! had to pull over until it stopped no the first time this has happened.

Skyslider top -well maintained. closed top while parked in driveway and top came off track or cable snapped. forced closed now but lifts when driving over 40mph. this is second time happening. i am not the only person this is happening to and chrysler needs to own up to their design failure before trying to "improve" it and add to other vehicles. the skyslider top was the main selling feature of the new jeep libertys.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. while driving unknown speeds, the check engine indicator illuminated and there was an abnormal sound emerging from the vehicle. the contact inspected underneath the vehicle and noticed that the heat shield became detached and was on the drivetrain. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and it was diagnosed that the fuel injectors needed to be replaced. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer (port jeff chrysler jeep dodge ram, 5130 nesconset hwy, port jefferson station, ny 11776) where the contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in a recall. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the issue and did not assist. the failure mileage was 188,112.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. when the contact removed the rear tire in order to change the brake, he noticed that the rear lower control arm was corroded. the vehicle was taken to northtown chrysler jeep dodge fiat (2020 niagara fall blvd, tonawanda, ny 14150 (716) 923-2105) where it was diagnosed that both rear lower control arms needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vin was not included in any recalls. the approximate failure mileage was 114,660.

The rocker arm of my jeep became attached from the engine because there is a flaw on the passenger's side of the engine. the way the cam turns makes it a very real possibility that the rocker arms on that side can detach. apparently this is a very common problem and very well known among mechanics for the company as well as third-party mechanics, but the company themselves claimed they've never heard any issues on the matter. i actually have had a friend have the same issue with her vehicle a couple years back, and she wrote and they stonewalled her as well. i really think this is a dangerous issue that should be examined more seriously. there's tons of people who have written online who have had the same issue.

A piece fell from under the seat which makes the seat feel loose. the side control panel for moving the seat back and forth does not give full control of adjusting the seat. the key less remote will not lock and unlock my doors. i have to use manual locks. i took it to be looked at, i was advised ground wires were crossing and blowing out a fuse/relay. the mophar skyliner sunroof is off track. there is a manufacturer defect in the sunroof. chrysler has not issued a recall yet several jeeps are having and have had this issue. it is $300 for a new roof which will break/go off track within 2 years. or $6000 to repair the roof i have which still does not guarantee it will break/go off track again. the roof opens on it's own while i am driving causing exposure to outside weather. i have read from other customers that the roof has flown off while driving which can cause injuries to the passengers in vehicle and/or driving around the vehicle. *js

Skid plate and straps on fuel tank is rusting all apart. it has rusted enough there is hole you can put your figure in and actually touch plastic tank. the rest of skid plate is rusted so much you can see the layers of the metal separating. vehicle only had around 62,000 miles when it was fist found and it at this point of rusting. vehicle has never been off road and was taken excellent care off including prompt removal of any road salt. last 3 1/2 years has not been driven very rarely when it has snowed more then an inch until roads were completely clear. as of 3/14/2019 when it was taken to dealership to be checked out there were no replacement parts available and there was no idea when there would be per the dealership when they called to check on parts. estimated cost for repairs per dealership will be almost $1000.00. per dealership the rusted skid plate and straps lives gas tank vulnerable in a crash or to object intrusion. also if straps rust enough could case gas tank to drop. personally i feel this should be a recall problem since it is not something that would be easily found and could cause death or injury. it had not been found during route maintained and i only found it by accident when it was up on a rack and mechanic was showing me something else. more than likely there is a large amount of same model and year vehicles on road with this same issues that owners are unaware of. jeep did a recall on 2005 liberty before due to vulnerability of gas tank concerning the hitch. and should do the same with this as it leaves the gas tank vulnerable and should never be occurring. it is strictly a case of using inferior material on a vulnerable part.

Turned vehicle on and wipers were going and switch was turned to off, enterior lights flash on and off, no turn signals, says back gate is open and it's not, doors lock on their own, air bag light says off, burning smell, alarm goes off at random

Front windshield wipers automatically comes on once car starts. wiper switch is in the off position. turning signals has ceased. the totally integrated power module (tipm) is what defective, which causes a safety issue. several jeeps have this problem & the manufacturer needs to fix it; it's a defect.

Recalled 16229 jeeps for faulty equipment. for some reason my jeep had same problem but not covered?? same bad parts used but not covered!!! same safety issue but not covered???

Our 2008 jeep liberty has a defective sky slider roof. despite being properly maintained, it has jumped the tracks and had to be forced closed. we are concerned about the safety if it does not remain closed while driving. we have contacted jeep who refuses to help. after reading numerous complaints online, we are questioning why there has not been a recall as this is an obvious safety concern and can leave owners unable to use their vehicles.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. while driving at 5 mph, the vehicle accelerated rapidly without warning. monroeville chrysler jeep in monroeville, pennsylvania was made aware of the failure and scheduled an appointment for service. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 88,000.

Car horn goes off, locks continously lock and unlock, windshield wipers go off, wiper fluid sprays out, lights blink off and on. only way to stop it is to unhook the battery. to get this to completely stop is to do a hard reset of the fuse box and hope it doesn't happen again. this has happened 6 times starting in 2015. never knew what the problem was until i googled this. i purchased this car brand new, it did happen after the first 2 years while driving but i thought it was just a fluke until it started happening more and more then never stopped on it's own. can't believe there has never been a recall on this problem

We were leaving for a trip and got about 200 feet from our front door and the windshield wipers started going on their own, there was windshield fluid coming out and the horn was honking. the car was running but we were at a stop. we shut the car off and started it back up and it stopped. we started our trip and realized that the electrical outlet no longer would stay on and the doors would not operate with the remote. we stopped at an auto parts store to use their code checker and we got a read error and the car never started again. we were 70 miles from home, cost us $300 to have the car towed. we had the tipm replaced for a mere $840, the doors still do not operate with the remote and it is back in the shop. very frustrated at this point.

It starts but doesn’t crank, warning lights and codes flash, abs shuts down when stopping at a stop light,lose of power while driving, skipping stationary and in motioneas and bas plus check engine light, i have to shut off all electrical buttons for car to start, over heats only when idle, replaced alternator and battery and still and starts and won’t crank,

Bought the vehicle in va on 2/19/18, driving home to me and after 50 miles in rain the horn started going off every time the wipers moved. pushed the horn button and the washer fluid started squirting out. was able to pull over and had to shut the jeep off then was able to continue. stopped in ct for gas and got back on the interstate and the all lights turned off on the outside but all the dash warning lights turned on, wipers turned on, horn turned on, washer fluid sprayer went continuously and the motor would stop and start on its own, while moving! luckily, made it to the side of the road and turned the ignition off but all electrical components continued to go off randomly then the car would not restart. after turning the key on and off multiple times, moving the shifting lever, pulling fuses from the panel under the hood and putting them back in it started running again. this happened a second time about 100 miles later. was able to get the car back to me but after i shut the jeep off and started it back up the horn and wipers started going off without any switches being touched. looked this issue up online and found that this is a very common problem for jeep/dodge/chrysler vehicles made in and around this time. had a recall been done i would have known this was a possible issue and been able to make a better choice of a car to buy for my daughter. there was a real danger of getting into an accident when all of the lights went out while driving in the rain on a busy interstate and then the motor turning off and on while in traffic.

In a rain when there was some wind, the driver and passenger floors collected 3+ inches of water. it was parked. the drains are near wires, which is unsafe. this was the limited version..... so far i found that chrylser is fixing 07-08 wranglers with this problem.

I lost control of the jeep yesterday hit two trees head on the curtain airbags above the windows all the way down the sides deployed but the main steering airbag did not deploy nor did the passenger side airbag in the dash i was on a back road

When fueling the gas spits back onto the car and attendant on fill-ups since i live in nj we don't pump are own gas so my attention was on the attendant. the attendant explained to me that this happens to a lot of the jeep products and after researching it does seem like a chronic problem that somehow doesn't meet the safety level for the nhtsb to issue the proper recall? i'm dumbfounded

I have several different issues with my 08 jeep liberty. the locks randomly lock and unlock. when i use the lock button on the transmitter, it’ll unlock the doors sometimes right after or at some point when parked. the headlights randomly come on and go off when parked. the traction control light comes on intermittently while driving. the traction control system also randomly activates on dry pavement and even throws the front end out of alignment because it will brake one wheel. i’ve almost had several accidents because of this engaging. also, when the traction/stability control engages there’s a noise from the brake system followed by smoke at whatever wheel it’s trying to brake. i took it into dealer and they replaced my front brakes and rotors and that hasn’t fixed the problem. now they are saying i need a new draft shaft, tie rods and a couple other front end pieces. i don’t believe that’s where the problems are coming from. it’s a scary situation driving this because i don’t know if i’m going to make it where i’m going because the steering can lose control because of the traction system. also, it’s developed a major leak in the hatch area by the top plastic pieces where it rains and the back floor looks like a swimming pool after it rains. i told the dealer but they have yet to tell me if they found out why it’s leaking. i also replaced the blower fan and relay for the ac thinking that it will fix an issue where the air in the vents are barely blowing. no fix. ac is weak. the heat works best when in motion. heat will heat up while driving and i feel like i’m being boiled alive. have to keep on high to get any air out of the vents, however. the transmission is clunky shifting and the fluid has been changed. power steering is difficult to turn.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. while operating the vehicle, the sun roof was unsecured and a rattling noise was present. while driving in the rain, water leaked into the cabin of the vehicle from the unsecured sun roof. the failure was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. the local dealer was not notified. the failure mileage was 50,000. *tt*jb

The skyslider roof is unhinged, it flips open when driving as low as 25mph. the roof does not close properly. it had been replaced by the first owner. bugs and water come into the vehicle. it is currently being held down with 2x4s and bungee cords.

Front brakes come on while driving and abs causes front end to shake. brakes are so hot the the pads are burning. the vehicle has no power because the front brakes are both being apppied

The problems started with the new battery going dead for no reason until i installed security cameras on our house and saw the head lights would randomly turn on and off running the battery dead when the car was parked in the driveway. then the windshield wipers would come on and not turn off and sometimes the car wouldn't start and when it did on these events it would shake acting like it was running out of gas

The sky slider roof of the trail rated 2008 jeep liberty is not functioning properly causing water to come into the vehicle and staining the interior. it also has wind hitting it enough to push back and eventually fall off going on the highway. this is a hazard for everyone on the road.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. while driving approximately 65 mph, the soft top detached from the pillars. the vehicle was taken to the dealer (kindle auto plaza, 525 stone harbor blvd, cape may, new jersey 08210) where they determined that the soft top needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the contact also mentioned that the soft top roof was previously repaired at the dealer (pellegrino chrysler jeep, 241 glassboro road, woodbury heights, new jersey 08097). the manufacturer was notified of the failure and complaint number: 34715617 was filed. the approximate failure mileage was 127,000. *tt *tr

My car is possessed the horn goes off, the lock continuously lock and unlock, the wipers won’t stop, and the horn beeps! it happens very sparaticly it hasn’t happened in months then it statred up again today! there are many people that are having this same problem and i don’t understand why there isn’t a recall this is reduculous! it won’t stop when i drive and it won’t stop unless it sits for a while or i disconnect the battery!

The ac switch is not working properly and i was advised that your company had a recall to have the computer updated to fix this problem.

Driving on the highway my sky slider folded back off the track making a horrific sound. the power button used to open and close the sky slider does not work. it just makes a grinding noise. we had to manually push the sky slider down. there is also a leaking issue when there is rain. water pours into the vehicle from around the front interior lights on the roof between the driver and passenger seat. there is also water marks from the sky slider leaking. i also have a sensor that stays on constantly. the sensor is for low tire pressure.

Sky roof was replaced because it fell off track. it is now starting to do it again and dealer is refusing to replace it under a warranty. seals are not tight and allow air through to the track. it then starts to lift and fold when going over 40 mph. i am afraid it is going to fly off the track completely while moving. the certified technician already told me that the sky roofs break easily and that is why they don't make them any more. they should all be recalled if are continuing to have problems and they are not going to replace them.

Sky slider roof pours water into dash and steering component. power steering has be disabled on several occasions while driving vehicle. when water pours in it saturates both driver and dashboard area running down steering column into the components. in addition, the lift of the roof causes vehicle to swerve when driving on interstate. noise created by this defect prevents driver from hearing emergency vehicles.

I was driving on a main highway and all lights started to flash. all needles started to jump around and then everything went black and car died including no flashers. battery was replaced a month before with yearly inspection the month before as well.

My tipm went out on my 2008 liberty, a few weeks ago, windshield wipers turned on by themselves, horn blowing by its self, the jeep doesn't turn off even when the key isn't in the ignition, also the hazard lights turn on by themselves. it gotten to the point that the jeep stopped in the middle of the road while i was driving. this is a very dangerous malfunction that cost a lot to fix and it isn't covered under my extended warranty. chrysler should have recalled 2008 -2012 jeep liberties also.

While driving on x way at 70 mph heard noise and saw section of roof slider lifting up and air gushing. slowed to pull off and whole panel lifted up and almost blew off. stopped and panel crashed down with front corner coming into passenger side seat. fortunately no one was in the seat! we taped the panel down to nurse it home on side street at under 40 mph. dealer said would cost more than $1000 to fix, probably more and repair would not be guaranteed. we cannot afford to fix. we never used the slider in the past. inquiries on internet reveal many similar incidents by other owners and their attempts to repair with estimates over $3000. definitely a serious issue. could have lost control of car if not already stopping, panel could have separated and hit other cars, panel coming into car could have injured driver or passenger!

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.

On 11/22/2017 i parked 5 spaces from the front door of meijer on e.michigan ave in jackson, mi. as my esa animal remained in the vehicle i left the car running and heat on low. i was in the store about 3 minutes. by the time i returned to the vehicle i was informed by a bystander my vehicle was on fire and help was on the way. i asked about my dog and was told no one had seen him. i frantically searched the car for (nagini) my dog causing 3rd degree burns on my hands.i was able to retrieve him from the jeep. he was unconscious and unresponsive. i began cpr and he was resuscitated. but sadly nagini died from his injuries 2 days later.

My 2008 jeep liberty 'sky slider' roof has flown off the track while driving down the highway (while my children were in the car!!) and now does not securely stay closed. this is a huge safety issue.

Car won't start. none of the electrical works. dealer tells me it's defective tipm. it's very expensive and dangerous. i have seen multiple people online complaining about the same problem and i don't understand why there has been no recall on this vehicle for this problem. we were stationary when the vehicle power stopped working thank god. but i seen online where some people had the tipm problem while driving which is very dangerous.

Takata recall

Tipm car alarm goes off wipers go front and back horn blaring windshield washer fluid squirts out.

I've had my jeep for 2.5 years now. when i first got it, everything was fine and it was inspected prior to purchase. for the past year, the airbag light will come on and off on its own. at first it was intermittent, but for the past 6 months, it is constantly on when the vehicle is running. in addition, about 6 months ago, while driving about 25 mph on a dark, winding road, the horn started sounding and the windshield wipers began running at full speed. i put the car in park, turned it off and then on again, and it stopped. this has not happened again since.

First off, this issue is extremely dangerous! it's already been to the dealership and all they want to do is beat around the bush and will not replace the tipm! the dealership claims to not have a device to properly test the tipm, and says its other parts causing the issue. my jeep's lights won't work correctly, my horn constantly blares, i've spent almost a hundred dollars on windshield washer fluid because those constantly spray, and it's beginning to ruin parts inside of my vehicle! today the fuze box was so hot it could have been on fire! why is this not recalled?! so many people are having this issue, and the dealership refuses to replace the part in fear of having the record of it being replaced! we have spoke to cooperate as well and nothing is being done. all it takes is the tipm freaking out causing a fire, or headlights to fail and causing an accident or death. this needs to be taken seriously! i love my jeep to death, but to take my jeep to the dealership to "fix" this issue, spend over 600 dollars to replace a melted cord and a burned out fan motor for ac/heat that could be causing these issues is a freaking joke, when the faulty tipm caused the wire to melt!!

Airbag light keeps flashing while driving. jeep shakes as if unstable or struts the suspension and my visibility due to the defroster and wipers don't work properly.

I was driving on the freeway and my skyline sunroof flew back

Three years ago, i had the sky slider on the jeep replaced completely. on tuesday, june 14, 2016, i opened the slider up and it would not close. 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.

There have been numerous complaints on online forums on the jeep liberty limited edition with the sky slider. basically, there are reports on the sky slider coming off the track and flying off of the vehicle. my sky slider personally will not close because of a "system fault" jeep tells me and only some jeep dealerships have the knowledge on how to fix a sky slider. they want to charge $3k to fix the roof, but they are acknowledging that it is a consistent issue with this vehicle, that the sky slider will not close all the way, which results in it coming off at high speeds.

The skyslider roof fails to close. i have owned the car since buying it new in 2008. the skyslider was replaced in june of 2013 after failing to close and making driving unsafe due to the flapping of the cloth roof at 45 mph or higher. roof has broken again as of may 2016 with the same issue after only being opened 5 times. this type of roof is going to cause an accident. at any time the cables or plastic frame can snap causing the roof to peel back. i was afraid the roof was going to completely dis-attach and hit the car behind me.

I was on my way back to work during my lunch hour driving on alexander st. in corpus christi texas. that street has several dips. as i drove over one of the dips the jeep suddenly accelerated in such a speed that i was unable to stop it and it hit a parked car. my car was approximately 10 feet from the parked car which made it almost impossible for me to avoid hitting the car. i firmly believe the accident was a result of "sudden unintended acceleration" there is no other way to explain this unfortunate accident. with all the dips on that street it is impossible to speed, additionally it is right in front of a school which has a speed limit of no more than 15 mph. if this had occurred in a different area this could have been catastrophic, fatally injuring myself and family or another human being. currently the car is at this location: https://www.iaai.com/vehicles/vehicledetails.aspx?itemid=21976104 this will allow you to view all pictures and perhaps it can be inspected thoroughly. make a note of the odometer, it reads "error"!. ...updated 06/22/16 * bf

It started with my power door locks 2 years ago. they quit working but the power windows worked fine. when you tried to change the fuse it would pop and burn out right away. we assumed it was a short somewhere. then my rear outlet quit working, my windshield wiper fluid stopped working, air bag light goes on and off among other issues. now nothing works. the battery was disconnected so we could try to reset the systems and now the horn sirens continuously, light flash, windshield wipers and fluid are flying, door locks that would not work are moving up and down. it looks like my jeep liberty is possessed! why is this not recalled???? this is a huge safety hazard. i have read that it may start working again but it will malfunction... you just don't know when.

I am the original owner of my 08 liberty. i have been using the dealership for all maintenance. i've had issues with my skyslider roof in the past which, after 5 years of haggling, has been fixed. the problem i am haveing now is with a dying battery. replaced the battery only to find out that the battery was still good. new battery doesn't last overnight. found that there could be 3 issues causing it. radio, fuel pump or tipm. cd player began to constantly eject a cd when no cd was present, so i pulled the radio fuse to stop the drain on the battery. no good! next day, dead battery. listened to any sound that the fuel pump was running while engine was off. did not appear to be running. checked with the jeep forum, wow was i shocked! libertys have nothing but electrical problems with the tipm. chrysler/jeep/fiat have been aware of the issue but have not done a recall, causing all it's customers hundreds of dollars t repair a known issue. class action suit only pushed them to repair tipm's from 2010 and up vehicles leaving everyone else high and dry. i now need to disconnect the battery cable every night so the care starts in the morning. dealer will diagnose the problem, at cost and then fix the problem, at cost, plus labor. all on a vehicle with 83,000 miles. in the last year, i have replaced the pcm, ecm, 4 o2 sensors and catalytic converters. thanks to the governments emission control warranty of 8/80,000, they were covered. the tipm is not! when issue is confirmed by the dealer, i'll be calling detriot!!!!!!!!

Rear caliper is locking up causing the burn to that pad and the rotor . vehicle was in motion.

Last february my jeep started acting funny. the horn, wipers, fluid, raido, seat, and lights all went crazy while driving. thinking that it was a battery or spark plug issue i replaced both. no luck. the next day i stated my car abs the horn would not shut off. i disconnected the battery and had it towed for diagnosis. tipm good i was told. 2 days later same thing. i brought my vehicle to another mechanic but this time asked to see the schematics. there is only one common component the tipm. no engine issues found, tipm tested for a week, no results. got my car back and one week later recorded the car doing exactly what i had stated. this system only has 1 check with results either good or bad. i looked up recalls-none, called jeep and complained about how dangerous this is. i'm not incredibly tall so for my seat to move itself backwards while driving was scarey! i ended up going to a jeep dealership convinced this was the issue and had the box replaced and system reset. one yr later still no issues. i still have the videos as proof of this claim. please realize all times this happened with the exception of the horn going off, battery disconnected, i was driving on the hwy going into street traffic. only once was the weather incredibly bad; raining to the point of flooding. because i live in upstate ny there was also snow and ice present. due to my vehicle acting up, i chose not to take my niece's over the weekend as i typically did. being responsible i couldn't let something happen with a then 4 year old in my car.

Purchased vehicle used in 2013 11/17/2015 1. engine continues to run when key is removed from ignition switch. while parked. first noticed last week 11/08/2015 (only as long as the preset time on the radio shut off or the door is opened) 2. with cruise control set and going up hill, transmission down shifts to maintain speed. while trying to keep speed up and then break applied, excessive force is required to dis-engage cruise control. while driving at normal speeds. for as long as i can remember. (break switch has been changed twice) 3. while filling fuel tank at gas station, paying close attention to the pump, fuel will pour out from the filler neck after the pump has shut off. for as long as i can remember. (many occasions) 4. check engine light continuously on. possible damage to hoses on emissions canister in left rear wheel well due to gas spillage? (as long as i can remember) 5. gas cap indicator comes on at start. possible damage to hoses on emissions canister in left rear wheel well due to gas spillage? (need to manually turn off, changed gas cap twice) 6. it seems that all things electrical have a delay to their function, flashing high beams, honking horn... while parked or driving. for as long as i can remember. (all of the time)

This is our second problem since 2010 when we purchased vehicle that the slider sunroof has come off it's tracks. the first time it was about a month after we purchased it and cost 1400.00 to fix now for no reason it just popped off and bows and track broke. rained in her car and shorted out electrical. this is a piece of crap and when i look at all the complaints it should be something they are liable for fixing because now its going to cost 3500 and jeep dealers are telling us they don't want to deal with it because it has been an issue from the beginning. what is wrong with this that jeep people don't want to take responsibility for their faulty products and the nhtsa is not making them. they have quit making this for a reason. because it was faulty and not something that would work. now vehicle owners are stuck with no options. please consider helping us! my daughter is in nursing school and i'm a single mother. what are our options. jeep dealerships don't want these cars back!

When filling the vehicle with gas there is a "burp" that pushes gas out of the pipe to the tank. it's like the tank isn't venting, and building pressure when filling. this happens on evey fill-up. i thought the service station shut off were the problem, but after being on a web site, there are alot more with the same problem.

There was a noise, like grinding when i went to back out of my drive way, from the rear of the jeep and when taken to the dealership the tech found the rear floor heat shield had come losse and was rubbing on the driveshaft. the dealership charged me $474.20 to fix it on 3/9/2015. i just found out today, 11/2/2015, there was a recall on other 2008 jeep libertys (my vin number wasn't part of the recall) but it sounds like the issue should have been! why wasn't my jeep part of the recall? are there other owners like me, who had the same issue but weren't considered part of the recall? i think we should be! please advise.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. while driving at an unknown speed, smoke was present coming from the rear passenger side. upon inspection, it was discovered that the smoke was coming from the rear passenger wheel. the vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the brake caliper seized. the caliper was replaced and the failure was remedied. the contact indicated that the vehicle later experienced the same failure involving the brake calipers on both the front driver and passenger sides. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the vin was not available. the failure mileage was 80,000.

Jeep stationary in driveway overnite started burning all wiring harneses until battery died, interior saturated with burned wire smell, electronic dashboard said no-bus, towed it to jeep-chrysler dealership had to replace all harnesses, fuse relays, modules, harness grounded out to metal bad factory installation, cost 4,400!

My heat shield came loose and detached at 110000 miles while driving. it was obviously resting on moving parts under my vehicle. it made a klattering rattle as the vehicle slowed to a stop where i could check out the problem. the heat shield readily came out when the rear passenger tire was removed to provide access to the part on the side of the road.

I bought the jeep march of 2014. upon purchase there seemed to be an odd noise coming from the front end. i was assured that it was caused by oversized tires. the tires were different from the standard factory but nothing that should cause that noise while driving. i asked if i could have my mechanic look at and call them for the repair. they agreed. i called a few days later after finding that the front end had some issues as well as the horn and other electrical things didn't work. i was concerned because of the safety violation. they fixed it all at no cost to me. one year later the horn and buttons stopped working again. i went in and told them what was going on and asked for the write up from last time. the write up stated that they repaired the tipm module well enough to get it to function but it would need to be replaced. i was never told this. i asked them what could be done since they didn't really fix it the first time. we came to the agreement that i would pay for labor and they would pay for the part. september 2015, while driving down the freeway i went to honk my horn only to find it wasn't working. it worked just a few hours prior. i called the dealership and spoke to the service manager and explained what was going on. he told me that it sounded like the tipm module again, and that they would warranty the part and fix it. i took it in and was then told that they would need to diagnose and make sure that it was the tipm module. i would need to pay a diagnostic fee and then pay for the fix if it wasn't that part. it ended up not being the tipm module and i was told that it was going to be a minimum of 300 dollars in labor, plus the 100 diagnostic fee for today, and whatever part needed to be replaced. i told them that i was told it was the tipm module and that i wasn't able to pay that much and felt completely ripped off.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. while driving approximately 55 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. the vehicle restarted after the contact disconnected and reconnected the battery cable. on one other occasion, while driving approximately 55 mph, the front headlights independently powered off without warning. the headlights illuminated again when the vehicle was turned off and restarted. on another occasion, while the vehicle was parked, the contact depressed the unlock button on the fobik and the horn consistently sounded and the headlights flashed. the contact detached and reattached the battery cable and the lights powered off and the horn no longer sounded. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but the failure was unable to be determined. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 130,000.

Almost 8 months after purchasing my vehicle the sunroof and back windshield started leaking water when ever it rained.i took the vehicle into the dealership and paid to have it repaired however it leaked again plus now the water has stained the material. plus the electric has shorted out and this was repaired. a third time of the water leaking and replacing the seals has not helped. when the weather is bad we can not drive the car due to water leaking on to passengers plus afraid to drive the vehicle for fear of breaking down with electrical problems. this is the third jeep that we have owned .

I had left my convertible roof cracked open as it was hot when i went to the grocery store. approximately 6-8 inches open. i began driving home and was travelling at 45 mph when i heard the roof flip open and was flapping in the air. i quickly reduced my speed and was able to reach up and grab the roof to pull it back down. i held the roof down by hand for the remainder of the drive home until i could inspect the equipment. upon closer inspection, the track slider on the passenger side has broken and does not respond to the motor when opening or closing the skyslider convertible roof. also both pins holding in the roof to the track sliders had popped out of their mounting brackets. had i been driving faster than 45 mph i'm sure there would have been more damage as i have read similar complaints here stating the same problem. this is a major safety issue and an extremely expensive repair, between $2,500 and $3,500. what if the roof were to fly off completely and harm my child in the backseat, or another person driving near me on the road at the same time?

Electrical problem- driving down the road at 20 mph and horn starts going off, windshield wipers ( front and back ) staring moving, interior lights and exterior lights start flickering. shut car off and it doesn't stop until you pull the negative battery terminal. nothing works during this outburst no keyless entry no power windows. car kinda sits there confulsing.

Two claims filed per this complaint. 1) sky slider leak; failure - overhaul/replacement required due to track/cable failure. was leaking into vehicle, as well as leaking into dome light. inspected per jeep authorized dealer, confirmed sky slider no longer properly sealing and has failed, requiring total system overhaul and replacement. referencing various nhtsa documented claims, it already a known issue and in need of resolution.. i was responsible for paying all costs associated with repair, which was over $4000.00 total. additionally, the vehicle has suffered a substantial drop in overall resale value due to vehicles reputation for having costly defects and overlooked for recall and warranty. dealer performed repair at my expense, but i am currently requesting that this claim is properly reviewed for a proper, more cost-effective solution to defective unit. 2) vehicle suffers from temporary rough idle and significant drops in rpm's, nearly stalling itself out. also begins suffering from intermittent loss of vehicle and device related functions such as loss of horn function, intermittent or partial lights function or window operation. on 2 different occasions while operating under the erratic conditions, the rear window hatch unlocked itself as though the button was hit on mfr. key fob. these issue occurs randomly and typically last no more than 5 minutes before normal operation returns. due to lack of information on the cause of this issue, what components are effected and what the specific defect is capable of performing, it is something needing to be looked into for proper resolution.

I purchased my jeep from a private owner back in 10/2013. i thought i wrote a complaint out but i can not find it here. i have a 2008 jeep liberty with a roll back top. while driving with my grandson the top blew back and broke the clip broke when it flew back.. to fix, it will cost 2,000.00 to 2,500 dollars . it was out of warranty and chrysler would not help me in any way i called chrysler direct and a local dealer. i did not think it was the right thing to do being that i do not believe a roof she be able to blow off your vehicle. i could have been on a highway driving 50 or 60 miles per hour and that roof could have blown totally off my jeep and really caused a problem. extremely dangerous.as far as look at it this it is a huge defect. . i have driven many convertible cars and never had the roof blow back. plus the noise factor is just awful. you cannot even hear someone speak with the top closed. the wind is just awful there design on this roof is dangerous and just plain awful!!

Driving on the freeway at 70mph when the ac compressor seized and blew the bearings out. oil got on belt which caused it to slip on power steering pulley which slightly increased steering effort. ac compressor is used to operate defogger. since ac compressor is broken, defogger will not work and visibility may not meet federal standards depending on weather.

Sunroof leaking badly noticed a small amount earlier but lately has gotten worse. headliner is stained from the leak. drivers floorboard is wey from leak.

Driving at 40 when the horn, wipers, and lights start going crazy. had to pull over and restart the car to get it to stop. took it to the dealer, they diagnosed the tpim to be faulty and it would cost 1200 to fix. come to find out the tpim has been recalled by chrysle but not for the 2008 models.

I started my jeep liberty and the windshield wipers started going when the switch was in the off position. i turned on my headlights and they stopped. when i got home i took disconnected the neg wire on the battery to reset the computer in jeep and i hooked it back up after 20 mins and where the mileage is shown it said error.

Tl-the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. the contact stated that while driving at various speeds, there was a leakage that came from sky slider sun roof and it would not close and vibrated. the vehicle was taken to a dealer mechanic, who diagnosed that the entire roof needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vin was not available. the approximate failure mileage was 50,000. pam

1, all lights come on dash; check engine, 4wd, brake, abs - all of them, each time i have it checked but the codes will not register stating not found 2. roof leaks at back of cargo area with heavy rain or when vehicle gets washed 3,when adding fuel, doesnt automatically stop and gas spews out all over 4. locks will randomly lock and unlock. 5. radio will stop and start

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???

When drivers door was opened, vehicle horn, wipers both front and rear all began to operate and i was unable to start and maintain the engine running, it was necessary to disconnect the battery terminal in order to stop everything. a month later, i was in town and it did the same thing. in april while coming to a stop sign the vehicle stopped running and the horn, wipers and lights all began operating. i was able to control the vehicle until it stopped. the battery had to be disconnected in order to get the vehicle to run. the next afternoon, it did it again however disconnecting and reconnecting the battery did not solve the problem. i had to leave the battery disconnected all night in order for the vehicle to reset.

The vehicle's lights, horn, wipers, radio will start flashing inexplicably. when turning off the motor it continues. 2-3 times the motor cut out too. this happens about 8-10 times a year.

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

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. while driving at 50 mph, the sky slider roof fractured from the rear part of the vehicle while it was closed. the vehicle was taken to a dealer. the technician diagnosed that the roof, frame, and head liner needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 60,000.

When i fill up my gas tank, there is always a moderate amount of gas that comes out and goes down the side of my car. this has occurred at multiple different stations with all octane levels of gas. it ejects about .1-.2 gallons of gas from the fuel entrance. this occurs right before the automatic shut-off closes on the fuel pump. *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

Tl*the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. the contact stated that while traveling approximately 65 mph, the vehicle was swaying back and forth and then the tpms warning lamp illuminated. upon merging to the side of the road and inspecting the vehicle, the contact noticed that the right rear tire went flat. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the valve core fractured causing a blow out of the back of the tire. the independent mechanic replaced the valve stems on all four tires. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 84,000.

I have 2 problems number1 is the gas mileage it gets the mileage it says on the internet but i feel that is bad fuel mileage i had a 2000 jeep grand cherokee with a v8 and got 25 miles per gallon on the high way you would think that a v6 would just as good or better but it is not .second problem is fuel spillage evrytime you fill up i have tried different things to try and stop the spillage but to no avail. i feel there should be a recall on this problem but there is no recalls for a 2008 jeep they had recalls on some older jeeps but not mine it would be nice to see something done about this problem. thanks [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Gas spill when filling tank. *tr

When pumping gas, the gas pump shuts off as expected however gasoline spews out of the jeep's filling system. tried different pumps same results, this occurs without "topping off the tank". this i a serious safety hazard with gas spraying on my face,clothing and overflowing on my shoes, hands, vehicle and ground. i have been yelled at by gas station clerks because it is a safety hazard. *tr

While pumping gas, the pumped clicked (stopped) and gas spewed out the tank on vehicle, my hands, pants and shoes. this happened on more than one occasion. today, 1-31-2015, gascap, indicator light came on. i tighten cap however, indicator light still on. purchased a new gas cap but the new cap did not resolve the issue. *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.

The parking brake failed to engage on my 2008 jeep liberty automatic transmission. while the parking brake was fully engaged with the jeep in neutral the jeep rolled backward and struck the wall causing minor right front fender damage. fortunately the jeep hit the wall stopping it from rolling down the driveway into traffic or running over pedestrians. note; there is a recall on the 2008 jeep liberty, chrysler recall #h28 with manual transmission but not on the automatic which uses the exact same parking brake system. why isn't there a recall for this vehicle? emergency/parking brake system should be there when you need it and if the hydraulic braking system should fail. this is a vehicle safety alert that must be addressed. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. the contact stated that the sky slider was able to be opened but would not close when activated. the failure caused water to enter the vehicle and cause damage internally when there was rainy weather. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 65,000. the vin was unavailable.

When i first bought this vehicle from a local used dealer, i never anticipated the problems i would be faced with. i have always dreamed of owning a jeep and now, i'm ready to take it to the dump. i purchased this keep on the above date and was told that the sky slider does not work. the dealer created a contract that they would have it fixed. 2 months later, they finally find someone in the area who knows how to fix this problem. we take it in, and find that the whole roof had to be replaced. the dealership finally agreed to pay for it after a month of me being out a vehicle. this repair cost the dealership an upwards of $4,500.00 and i am still experiencing wind noise. if i drive on the highway and a semi goes by, the sky slider lifts up as if it's going to fly off. i will never open the sky slider for fear that it will need to be fixed again (or get stuck open). i have seen many people presenting this same issue on forums with nothing being solved. please, it's time chrysler owns up to this faulty design and helps people out! i am so scared that this roof is going to fly off while i'm driving on the freeway and cause an accident. no one should ever have to feel afraid to drive a car they pay for! *tr

Airbag warning light goes on and off intermittently after car is started. spoke to chrysler/jeep after consultation with local mechanic who identified the issue as a defective clock spring. this same issue was addressed with chrysler/jeep with jeep wrangler 2008 - 2010 which uses the same clock spring (reference : nvs-212pcor;pe11-019-august 5-2011) resulting in extension of warranty to 3 years or 150,000 miles. jeep requests a fee of 500.00 + dollars to repair this issue stating there is no extended warranty on jeep liberty 2008 even though the same part is being used in each vehicle nor will jeep diagnose the issue unless guarantee diagnostic fee of 120.00 dollars. please advise. *tr

Bought this vehicle used. each of the two times we have filled up the tank with gas the tank has overflowed spilling an estimated pint of gas out of the tank and down the exterior of the vehicle and onto the ground. each time gas has spilled onto the driver as well. researching this issue it appears that replacing the gas tank resolves this issue. i feel this is a dangerous safety issue that should be addressed with a recall. ref. service bulletin no.: sb-14-003-13, nhtsa id number: 10052148. *tr

Heat decided to not work on the first 30 day w/ snow and ice. passenger vents are blowing luke warm air, and the drivers side blowing cold air. also, no air at all coming from the blower at the drivers feet. not happy about this as i had read 100's of complaints about the blend door not operating properly on jeeps of all types. this is a $1000 fit, and there should be a recall on the blend door. this is an absolute outrage! *tr

Vehicle will loose power while at hwy speed. as if slamming on brakes dash lights light up as your seatbelt locks and you slam forward. headlights will turn off while inside dash lights remain on. must use brights to drive or pull over. windows, seats move themselves. while vehicle is off and unattended. sometimes while pulling in a parking spot car lunges forward. sometimes while sitting at a red light it just powers off and must be restarted. evidence of a leak somewhere can not be located. the leak has stained a little on the inside roof. *tr

Prior to accident, the sky slider leaked water into the electrical roof light compacts dropping down into gear shift. also leaked into trunk and back seat of jeep from ceiling. even after repaired by dealership twice, it continued to leak water during and after rain. the automatic driver side window since leaking issues, has shorted and failed to close (go up) on a daily basis. deep front end collision had zero deployment of airbag in front- includes during/after passenger side rollover. only side air bags deployed. concussion and muscle spasms resulted from accident. body hit against steering column, head and arm against driver window and frame. entire week of unpaid medical leave from employer by doctors order. total loss of jeep. seatbelt held me in suspense while jeep was on it's side. although it left me with pains in hips, abdomen and legs, the seatbelt saved me from ending up in the window and glass in my skin from the rollover window glass breakage. feels like jeep initiated rollover upon front impact after having been stopped completely. ..updated 11/18/14 *bf updated 10/7/2015*js

It started a with when i got out of jeep and push button to lock the vehicle it wouldn't lock and the horn would not beep like it does when it locks so i had to lock it manually. when i got out of store and got back into jeep it worked and it only happens after the car has warmed up is what it seems like, then i was pulling into a turning lane and slowing down and heard a horn beep loud just to realize that it was my jeep that beeped and i never pressed the horn at all. then today i get into car and sit in seat and use the power seat button to adjust the driver seat and didn't even touch the steering wheel and didn't put the key in ignition either and my flashers started flashing but, then cut right off. when i got where i was going and parked my jeep it happened again the flashers started to flash and then stopped. when i walked up to the jeep without pressing any buttons my car unlocked on its own and the lights came on. sometimes my radio takes about 10 seconds or so before it starts to work. windshield wiper doesn't want to blow out any fluid says it needs a motor. have a slider roof and noticed that it has leaked previously cause i can see rain marks around the edges of the slider and when driving down the road i can hear wind from coming the roof so its not sealing like it should. i can have the heat on but, later in the day when it gets hot i will turn on the ac and the ac doesn't want to blow out cold air and i fiddle with the switches for a bit, i can finally get it to come on. i just bought it last january so i haven't even had it a year yet and always take it in for servicing please help me i have seen recalls for similar problems with the same jeep but, your site tells me no open recalls so how do i know if mine has been repaired? *tr

The day, july 10, 2014, started out with my wife, granddaughter and me going to the grocery store in my 2008 jeep liberty. we were back by noon, had some lunch and about 1:30pm put granddaughter down for a nap. about 2:00pm wife needed to go into town for an errand. she backed the jeep out of our driveway and continued down the road going about 15 mph. the front passenger tire blows (4 tires on the vehicle bought approx. 14 months prior to the incident - goodyear p225/75r16 wrangler st 104s) and the side airbags deployed. vehicle did not hit anything nor was it hit by anything. wife did sustain a slight red bruise on her left cheek. good thing it did not happen with all of us in the vehicle or going 65 mph on the highway. i called chrysler customer service. chrysler group llc conducted an investigation into the incident and inspected the jeep. the inspection found no indication of a manufacturing defect that caused or contributed to the incident. hard to believe that a front tire blows and side airbags deployed at 15 mph. jeep is supposed to be a rugged off-road vehicle. *tr

When i tried to open the sliding sky roof the sticky (tape) part became unstuck from the sliding sky roof and stuck to the car's frame that caused the sliding sky roof to break off the track preventing it from opening and/or closing. if driven now it will blow off and be hazardous. *tr

The tranmission pan is rotting out and leaking onto the exhaust , every morning when i leave for work i smell something burning. well come to find out its been rusting for a long time now seeing i have only had this jeep for two years now , but i have lots of problem with this jeep , jeep told me that they dont cover rust and corrision . i feel its a manufacturing blemish , that they dont want to stand behind . i am and auto inpector for large auto auction . back to the pan , the pan is painted but rusting under the paint , which means it was not prep right for painting , the exhaust pipe is less three iches from the pan , exhaust converter are on both side of the pan with the y pipe right behind so there is extreme heat there ,

Horn, lights, wipers and windshield washer spraying all happen on there own while driving. i have also had problems with the air conditioning system caused by the tipm unit.

February 2014: opened my car with the key when the fob wouldn't work. horn and radio blared, both front and rear windshield wipers turned on, in addition to all dashboard lights. continued for 10 minutes until battery was disconnected. in that time, the car would not start. after 5 minutes, the battery was reconnected and the car started without issue. april 2014: while turning into a gas station, my jeep completely stopped. after waiting 2 minutes it started again. i took it to my local mechanic who cleaned corrosion around the battery. 2 weeks later, i was driving on a 3 lane highway, began to decelerate and at approximately 25mph, the jeep's engine turned off. at the same time, all of the dashboard lights turned on in addition to the horn and windshield wipers. thankfully i was able to coast to the shoulder without incident, where the jeep continued the same behavior for about 10 minutes, and then abruptly stopped. the car would not start again until the battery was disconnected and then reconnected. i brought it to a chrysler dealer that evening and detailed the issues. they monitored it for 3 days, but ultimately returned the car stating they could not find any issues but could replace module for almost $1000! may 2014: replaced the battery and had minimal issues including windshield wipers randomly starting and stopping, but no horn or shut down issues, until... june 2014: a similar incident occurred that mirrored the april deceleration incident. at this point i disconnected my horn--a safety issue, but the blaring was becoming increasingly inconvenient. a week later the car turned off while pulling into a parking space. when i exited the the store and attempted to start the car, it started without incident. since june, the jeep has only exhibited minor issues such as the windshield wipers randomly starting, but it's only a matter of time

The rear brake calipers and pads are not lasting. i have to replace them every 20.000 miles never had a vehicle that eats through brakes like this one does. *tr

There has been an intermittent issue where the check engine light comes on followed by the traction control light (usually after making a left hand turn.) when this first started the vehicle was still under warranty, and went to jeep. they had our liberty for several days and swapped out the cam and crankshaft sensors to "fix" this problem. the car again was acting up within a month or so, and when we called the dealer back to bring it back in they advised us that the extended warranty that we paid a lot of money for was now expired. i took it to a local auto parts store to have the codes read. it was again code c121c, in conjunction with the codes relating to faulty cam and crankshaft sensors. since the service department stated that they replaced the cam and crankshaft sensors. i replaced the needed parts and this lasted maybe 20 miles, prior to the lights coming back on. i attempted to replace them a second time thinking i may have gotten a defective part or two, but it wound up being the same end result; about 10-20 miles in the check engine light and traction control lights came on. this prevented the vehicle from shifting into over drive, it prevents the vehicle from accelerating at a normal speed, and above 50 mph the whole vehicle will wildly shutter when you let your foot off the gas. jeep will not warranty the drive terrain even though the state the vehicle should have a 100k mile warranty on the drive terrain.

Our jeep goes to dealer every 3000 miles for oil & filter change since we bought it new. this year i noticed the battery terminals had never been cleaned. i removed the terminals as i have done on hundreds of cars (as my bother and i had service/ gas stations for years) as a no charge courtesy. now i know why they never did the cleaning. as soon as you remove the terminals for any reason the error message will most likely show up. now they want $600.00 plus state taxes to effect repairs. no guarantee that it won't happen again. help us please. *tr

Jeep started to shake. when taking your foot off the gas pedal, auto almost came to a stop. went straight to repair shop. caliper assembly was replaced on rear passenger side. second caliper malfunctioned on june 30, 2014. parts have been back ordered since july 1, 2014. chrysler is producing bad parts and although no accidents are reported yet, they will be. this should not be happening on a vehicle with less than 50,000 miles. webb site has 100's of people with same problem that re-occurs within a short time. please check into this for all jeep owners. *tr

The first tire inflation valve stem and sending unit assembly failed resulting in dashboard alert and inability to inflate or check tire pressure as the unit was broken. at first the dealer refused to replace under warranty but subsequently did replace it under warranty at a later date. the problem once again happened on a second tire this time out of warranty. the dealer service manager explained that the problem is due to the valve assembly being constructed of dissimilar metals causing premature corrosion and stem failure. since the vehicle was now out of warranty the dealer offered to fix this problem once and for all by replacing the valve stem on all four tires with common rubber stems without the sending units. the offered fix would obviously disable the tire pressure warning system but would "fix" the broken stem assembly problem. the dealer indicated this would be done as this was a common, frustrating, expensive known problem with this vehicle. *tr

At startup, first noticed windshield wipers were on and would not shut off. all dash lights, gauges, etc were not operating. vehicle could not be taken out of park position.

Occasion 1. vehicle parked. lights began flashing, horn sounding, washers squirting, door locks operating. unable to exit vehicle. trapped inside with 4 year old grandson for ten minutes. ignition key inoperable. finally managed to get vehicle ignition going, and drove home. vehicle power fluctuating causing uncontrollable power surges. occasion 2. vehicle approaching junction at 10 mph. lights. horn, washers, doorlocks operating - pulled vehicle over, unable to engage park, removed key from ignition - vehicle engine still running but managed to engage park, however then could not get it out of park. exited vehicle , engine still running, lights, horn etc actuating, and could not re-enter vehicle. numerous complaints of this on this website as well as various jeep forums. contact with jeep gives no response other than vehicle out of warranty see your dealer. this is a systemic problem, not a spurious one off specific vehicle fault and could be a safety concern given the lack of control you have over basic vehicle powertrain and driveabiltiy functions. jeep had already repaired the vehicle under warranty once before for same fault. removing battery connections resets the system until the problem re-occurs.throws error code p0883 occasionally when in this malfunctioning mode. *tr

The sky slider on the 2008 jeep liberty is defective and jeep will not do anything about it!!! this is ridiculous! it is going to cost $2,000 to get the thing fixed! i don't even open the thing and when it broke it was closed!!! i was driving in a storm and the wind caught it and broke it. dealership is telling me i have to have a whole new system...tracks and all! this is crazy!!! i called jeep for some help with this issue and they said there is nothing they can do, oh yes there is something they can do....recall this sky slider!!! i am going to continue to call them on a daily basis and keep asking for someone with more authority until i get my way on this and make them recall it so that we can all get our money back on this defective product!! i urge anyone else with this problem to do the same thing....if enough of us keep calling and complaining, maybe we can get some satisfaction. *tr

I was driving my 2008 jeep liberty skyslider on a local road at around 40 mph. the roof ( a convertible type) began rattling and came off the tracks while in the close position causing the roof to fly up. i contacted jeep and they have no remedy for this although after looking this up online, there are tons a similar incidents. a car in which the roof flies up is a major safety hazard and jeep should be liable since this doesn't seem to be an isolated incident. *tr

Whenever i fill the gas tank the gas pump clicks off when the tank is full, but gas surges up the spout and dumps on the ground. this has nothing to do with the type of gas (premium or regular, or ethanol or no ethanol) or the setting on the pump handle (fast or slow). this is a fire, explosion risk as well as an environmental problem. i really don't expect you to do anything until after people are hurt or killed, but when that happens i want to be able to say "you knew about the problem, and didn't care". *tr

The skyslider roof on the jeep liberty does not stay closed while driving. it lifts loose from the track while closed and traveling at speeds over 50 mph. i am able to see the outside through the gap it creates and fear that it will lift open from the car. i have read of similar incidents where the roof did indeed fall off at high speeds. i fear that mine will too. *tr

Manual transmission popped out of first gear into neutral so violently that it felt as if i had been rear-ended. jeep dealership replaced first and second gear synchro on january 25, 2013. by may 2013 the problem was occurring intermittently and by august routinely. the jeep dealership refused to repair on august 15, 2013 after having the vehicle a week and claiming they couldn't "replicate the problem." thereafter, gear popping increased to the point that i was unable to safely turn left turn against traffic or move forward when stopped on an incline. on december 23, 2013, i delivered the vehicle to another jeep dealership and left it for an entire month during which time it was driven 13 miles and a "complete diagnostic" performed, but once again the dealership was unable to "replicate." on january 21, 2014, i picked it up only to have it violently pop out of first gear just two miles from dealership. it happened again on the 23rd and even more violently the afternoon of the 24th. while driving home from work on january 24, 2014 via an interstate highway in very heavy traffic (i-25 in denver, co) the clutch completely malfunctioned leaving my husband unable to put the vehicle into any gear whatsoever. after slamming in 2nd gear with brute force, the vehicle would not move forward at all forcing him to coast to the shoulder. at the shoulder, he turned the vehicle off, restarted and was able to place into first and second gear. however, the vehicle simply rolled backwards with no ability to move forward at all. the vehicle was towed back to the same dealership this evening (january 24, 2014) for repair. chrysler issued a revised service bulletin # 21-001-10 in april 2010 calling for replacement of first and second synchro; however, i am experiencing increasing problems despite that very repair in january 2013. this vehicle cannot be safely operated. *tr

The skyliner roof on our 2008 jeep liberty limited 4x4 is very noisy at driving speeds or on windy days and as many other owners with this option have stated the roof does not close all the way, i have to manually lock it back into the closed position. it doesn't open properly either the problem seems to be with the track and cable system. it could be a safety issue if it blew open while driving. with this being such a persistent problem with this option there really should be a recall. maybe heavier duty components and cable could be a sufficient fix for the problem.

Every time i fuel up, if i leave it filling up automatically, gas spews out when it gets to full and goes everywhere. even if i am trying to watch the gallons and stop before it gets to full, it still spews everywhere. i thought this was specific to my vehicle, but i've now seen hundreds of reports on the internet regarding the very same issues with this year and model of jeep, plus many other years and models. *tr

The 2008 jeep and years after all have a defective skyslider(as far as i know every single person i spoke with that has a sky slider had some malfunction) which seems to be a huge safety concern. this panoramic roof constantly malfunctions, the replacement parts cost almost a 1/4 of the vehicle cost and when it breaks it usually is not fixed properly. the concern is, it can come flying off at high speeds causing possible injury, also makes vehicle un-secure due to being accessibly by the roof, also causes rain, and other contaminants to enter the cabin area. i understand that chrysler is under government protection due to it financial situation but there is no reason they can not recall, repair, or have a engineered replacement for this due to the amount of complaints and issues it has. *tr

For the past three months the air bag light in my car has been coming on and off. sometimes it will stay on for a couple days, other times it will only stay on for a couple minutes. my mother also has a jeep liberty and hers is doing the same thing. i do not know what triggers it to come on but typically it comes on when i am the only person in the car. i have had my car for less then 6 months so i took it in last week to have it looked at because i have heard of other jeep libertys having the same problem. the car dealership from which i bought my car from told me that it would cost me $459 for a new occupant restraint controller (even though i have had my car for less then 6 months and it is still under warranty). i personally believe that this should be looked into and it should be made a recall for jeeps because i have heard this complaint from multiple people regarding their jeep libertys. *tr

Vehicle was making a whining noise when turning. i had the car checked and the power steering fluid was low. it was discovered that this car is leaking power steering fluid onto the rack and pinion. along with this, the airbag light is coming on. i believe that this may be related to the latest recall concerning the heat shield. jeep refuses to add my car to the recall list and i am sure this is directly related. *tr

Panoramic roof - will not close. appears that passenger side track is not operating correctly and the top will not fully close and flaps in the wind. my vehicle is no longer secure as well as the annoyance of the flapping in the wind. also, no way to secure during inclement weather which is causing staining of the interior around the roof. *tr

The heating element in the front passenger heated seat has started to burn through the seat. i brought the vehicle to the dealership and because the car is beyond the 3 yr/36,000 miles warranty, chrysler will not cover the repair. i am concerned that someone could be burned or that the seat could catch fire because of this issue and believe it is enough of a safety concern to file a complaint. *tr

I was driving down the road with my 9 year old grandson in the jeep. it is always sounds very windy in the truck when driving. i was going about 25 miles an hour and the front of the top flew back. it scared the heck out of us. i was able to pull over and when i tried to shut the sky rider/retractable top it would not go. so i pulled it frontwards with my hands and drove very slow to my daughters. my son in law and my daughter were looking at it and we could not get it to work. so we put a buggy cord around it to hold it down until i could have to a place that could fix it.. i went to see him at 8 am the next morning and he said he has 2 of them in his shop right now and he also said he has many of them in his shop every week with the same problem he also told me that. chrysler knows this is a huge problem with these jeeps that have the retractable tops/ sky rider . i also went on line and there are a lot of complaints in regards to these tops doing the same thing. i was told that it cost $2,100.00 dollars to fix. they need to replace the whole rack.i don't understand why they would use plastic parts for such a important thing on your car is a roof. he told me to call chrysler.. well i called and spoke to a supervisor mack kelly at massey yardley he said the warranty is up. we went back and fourth about the top and i said to him, but you know this is a big problem so why would you not fix it? he said, "yup it is a big problem "but the warranty is up. i asked to speak with someone hire up and he said there is no one else hire then him. i also went on line and saw a bulletin recall and it states that they know this is a problem when they made this vehicle. i don't understand that they know it is a safety issue ?? we are very lucky no one got hurt or killed. they should fix the sky rider/retractable top being they know it is a safety problem!!! *tr

While driving the vehicle, water began to seep out of the maplights and down both a-frame pillars. panoramic moon roof stopped closing all the way after a wind storm and was open enough to cause major leakage (upwards of 3 gallons of water). i feel this is defective and could have caused a major accident, as traveling at high rate of speed, this could have resulted in the roof flying open. manufacturer has stated it is not an issue that they provide any assistance with, and the repairs will be over $7000. *tr

Recently i received the safety recall n10 / nhtsa 13v-121 for my jeep liberty 2008. in june 20, i made contact with the flagship service department, in bayamon puerto rico at 787-620-5877. some female verified my vehicle information and once confirmed made an appointment for next day ( june 21 ). at date of june 21, 9:30am once in the service department, mr [xxx] told me that was a mistake, a error, and said "your vehicle hasn't problems or recalls." my doubt with at some observations: their question: "where did you buy the vehicle". ( i bought the vehicle at rocky motors, a small dealer) and the playview of a long row of jeep wrangler to be received for repairs by recalls. i felt displaced, and have my doubts about the information received. please confirm and take notice, with this establishment, to be loyal to the safety related. at this date, i took the time, i have chance to get a vehicle to use during the vehicle recall repairs. later in august, is late, there will be no chance, i work at 20 miles from home. if my vehicle need it, i need to repair now, or the service department should provide transportation. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

I received a recall letter from chrysler regarding a recall stating that "the transfer case heat shield may drop down and rub on the drive shaft, weakening it and potentially causing the drive shaft to break.". chrysler's recall letter fails to mention what is outlined in the nhtsa letter: the first potential cause of an accident resulting from the above referenced defect: "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.". i lodged a complaint with chrysler that they are unwilling to provide 2008 jeep liberty owners with alternative transportation while they "fix" the "problem". customers need to be informed about all the possible consequences and chrysler only mentions this the transfer case heat shield may drop down and rub on the drive shaft, weakening it and potentially causing the drive shaft to break. in addition, i spoke to chryslers "recall help desk" about whether i should be driving my jeep or not and i was told "you've been driving your car for 53,000 miles and nothings happened so probably nothing will happen but let us know if it does." he said that the "head honchos" were meeting about the fix as we spoke. i asked him to let the ceo know that if they really cared for customer safety they would get us rental cars and that i would take the cheapest rental on the market. would the ceo of chrysler continue to drive a 2008 jeep liberty until the fix?? would he have his son, daughter or wife drive one in its present condition? . nhtsa in the spirit of transparency, where is the information that tells 2008 jeep owners how many and at what mileage accidents have occurred. i am unable to easily access this information on the nhtsa web site and am an intermediate computer user. *tr

When i pump gas the system does not stop, the gas continues to pump once the tank is full. gas runs down the side of the jeep and is a huge safety issue. no recall on this issue so i would have to pay myself this needs be investigated. *tr

I own a 2008 jeep liberty that has a sky slider. i had opened the slider approximately four times (not exaggerating) and on the fourth time, when trying to shut it back it "broke". the slider went off track and i had to manually close it. this was all while sitting in my garage! once i took off the slider would whip in the wind and i was so afraid it would rip off i literally was going 40mph on the interstate. i had it fixed for $2500. i have never opened it again for fear that will happen again. now going down the road from 50mph on, i can't even hold a conversation it is so noisy. if i get behind semi-trucks the slider starts to flap due to the front of it starting to "peel" back. i understand they have quit making this model and i understand why! i strongly urge a recall on this as many of us are out of money from fixing it and i can't even sell it. no one wants it because of the slider. now im stuck with a low class vehicle while paying high class monthly payments. i feel i have been scammed! *tr

Every time i fill up my 2008 jeep liberty just as the automatic shutoff engages the gas comes out of the fill pipe and down the side of my vehicle. it does not matter where i fill up this always happens. i was beginning to think i was the only one with this problem but i see there are others. in my opinion i feel that jeep should check this problem without cost to the owners as a gesture of good public relations. my jeep was purchased in november 2012 as a pre-owned vehicle from a jeep dealership. *tr

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

My roof is a soft top . some how it shorted out. burning up my battery, my roof will not close how ever it opened own its on. my outlet never have worked. so i have leeks left and right front inside. *tr

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

While filling up my 2008 jeep liberty after the gas shuts off at the pump there is gas over flow from the tank all over the side of the truck and the ground below. i do not over fill my gas tank and i even try to stop before the tank is completely full, yet there is gas that flows back out of the tank after filling up my vehicle. this is a continual issue with the vehicle when i fill it up and i fill up at least 2 times a week due to the long commute that i have. i find that this is a hazard because i put my 4 year old daughter in the vehicle using the driver's side rear passenger door and the gasoline that has spilled is usually still present no matter how carefully i try to clean it up and off of the vehicle. also there is always gasoline on the ground at the pump after i am done pumping gas which cannot be good for the environment or the next person who has to get gas after me. *tr

Approximately 1 in 3 times i fill the gas tank the auto shutoff fails and spews gas out onto the vehicle and the ground (approx 2 cups). i was told by jeep that the gas tank must be replaced due to the failure of an internal sensor at a cost of $600. after a brief on-line investigation i note that this problem has been reported by at least scores of other jeep owners. this is more than an inconvenience due to discharge of a flammable liquid. in my 40 plus years of driving i have never experienced this problem and therefore believe it to be a manufacturers defect issue. this occurs at varied gas stations and therefore is not associated with faulty equipment at the stations. *tr

Every time we fill the gas tank, the gas tank overflows. *tr

When filling the jeep up with gas, no matter if the pump handle is locked or i'm manually pumping, it will spew gas out all over. this gets on me, all down the side of the jeep. i have contacted my local jeep dealership and asked about the problem. the lady in the service department looked my vin up and said no, there was no known problem. she said i could bring the jeep in and let them look at it. of course, this will cost me $85 for a diagnostics test. this gas spewing all over has happened many times and at different stations. i find it hard to believe there is not a known problem. after researching the internet, i find i am not the only one experiencing this problem. i hope they wake up soon. *tr

Fuel burps out after gas pump clicks off. *tr

When filling the tank with gas, the gas shoots out of the tank when removing the nozzle, spraying all over the car, myself and the ground. at first i thought it was the pump at the gas station but it has happened multiple times at different gas stations. i brought the car to the dealer and they diagnosed it as a problem with the valve in the tank, which cannot be fixed unless you replace the entire gas tank at the cost of $800. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. the contact stated that the driver's side interior door handle cracked and separated from the door panel. the driver's side door could only be opened from the exterior door handle. the dealer advised that the driver's side door panel needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the vin was not available. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 69,000 and the approximate current mileage was 69,200.

The fuel overflows when filling tank which causes a vast amount of fuel to spill down the side of the vehicle and on the ground....this is a great safety hazard and is clearly a major issue with these jeeps. made phone calls to dealer and chrysler and was told there is no recall for this issue. chrysler said to bring to a dealer and have it diagnosed...if dealer feels it's an issue that should be on a recall then call chrysler back and they may be able to do something to cover the service. *tr

I recently purchased a used 2008 jeep liberty sport 4x4. for the first couple months, i had no issues with the vehicle. recently, every time i fill up the gas tank, no matter which station or brand of gasoline, the fuel tank overfills and spits gas out. the pump will click off, but it is clicking off too late and gas is spilling down the side of the vehicle, onto me, and all over the ground. obviously, this is a major health issue to have gasoline on my skin, clothes, and to be breathing in the toxic fumes. additionally, this is a major environmental issue, as gas is spilling out onto the ground. finally, this could quickly become very dangerous. it also appears, based on some basic internet research, that this is a widespread problem with chrysler vehicles, especially these jeep liberty models. i'm a bit perplexed why there has not been a recall issued on this. *tr

When filing the tank, the gas pump will shut off as the tank fills but then the tank over flows with gas and spills out everywhere. this happens every single time the tank is completely filled. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. the contact stated that when refueling the vehicle, gasoline would spew back out from the filler neck. the failure was recurring. the vehicle was not taken to the dealer to have a diagnostic performed. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure and the current mileage was 43,407.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. the contact stated that while refueling, gasoline sprayed out and onto the contact's clothing. the failure recurred whenever the contact was refueling the vehicle. the vehicle was not taken to the dealer to have a diagnostic performed. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure and current mileage was 38,000.

When the gas tank is full, a significant amount of gas spills out of the tank before the pump shuts off automatically. this was not a problem until recently, but now it has happened the last three fillups at three different pumps. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. the contact stated that when he started the vehicle, an error message displayed on the instrument panel. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer however, they were unable to locate the problem. in addition, the odometer gauge would not display a mileage reading. the driver's side power window also became inoperable. the vehicle had not been repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the problem. the approximate failure mileage was 59,000.

Jeep liberty spurts fuel when filling up. this has happened on numerous occasions. auto shutoff on fuel pump/nozzle shuts off then a large quantity of fuel spurts out of tank all over side of car and ground. this is an environmental and human safety hazard. now when filling up, i step away from the car and let the spurting finish. it happens every time i fill up. also happens when i don't set pump/nozzle to auto shut off, but when i do that, i get fuel all over my hands. *tr

Starting in november of 2011, i have had overflow issues with my gas tank. every time i fill up my liberty, it overflows after the gas clicks off. it spews out everywhere! it seems to spill out with more force the colder it is outside. *tr

This is the second complaint on this vehicle for the same issue, it has become more of a problem. i have to fill the gas tank extremely slowly or the pump will shut off some times gas come out. i can not fill the tank up completely or quite a lot of gas will gush out on the ground or on me if i am standing in front of the fill pipe. i notice there are many people having the same issue. i had this problem with my wrangler same year as my liberty and the wrangler was recalled. i do not under stand why the liberty would not be recalled. this could become a very dangerous situation. i checked to see if it was even being investigated and it is not! why? *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty 4x4. the contact stated that whenever dispensing fuel into the fuel tank, gasoline fuel would spray out of the filler neck and onto the contact's clothing. the vehicle was taken to an independent auto mechanic for diagnosis. the technician stated that either the filler neck or the fuel tank would possibly need to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the defect. the approximate failure mileage was 100,000. the vin was unavailable.

The problem occurs on a replacement gas tank. it did not happen with the original tank. when the tank is filled, the click of the pump shutting off can be heard, yet gasoline spews out of the filler pipe, down the side of the car, and onto the ground. this problem occurred a few times while the replacement tank was under warranty. i blamed the gas stations until i was informed by one of the attendants cleaning up the toxic spill that it was a known problem with jeeps. when i talked to my local jeep service on the phone, i was informed that the tank would need to be replaced. the cost of replacing the tank would be over $800 since the current tank was out of warranty. the problem has gotten worse in the last year, and i can no longer fill the tank completely without the gas spewing onto the ground. slowing the rate of filling does not prevent the problem. repeated stopping and starting the filling process does not prevent the problem. the only thing that can be done to avoid the problem is not filling the tank all of the way. video of the problem occurring can be provided upon request. *tr

Every time i fill the fuel tank it spews gas all over the place. after looking online it appears that this is a common problem with the 2008 jeep liberty. *tr

Faulty/defective fuel check valve/system that causes the tank to overflow when filling with gas at the pump. gas spouts out of the tank when reaches full. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. the contact stated that while pumping refueling, gasoline spewed from the filler neck. the contact also stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing where the contact was advised that the gas valve needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was not made ware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 90,000 and the current mileage was 109,000. the vin number was unavailable.

Sky slider roof which is an option for this vehicle has broken loose from the vehicle. this is the third failure of this convertible top feature. the top slides backward electrically on metal tracks and is pulled backwards using cables. the first failure of the roof was in 2010. at that time the roof would not close leaving it open and dangerous while driving. the vehicle was under mfg warranty and the entire cable and track was replaced. the second identical problem occurred in february 2011 resulting in repair and replacement of cables and track. most recently, the cables have again broken leaving the top unable to close, only this time, the components have broken and while driving the top came loose and flew open causing more damage to the vehicle. the dealership where this vehicle has been repaired for this identical issue is aware of the ongoing problems with the sky slider. chrysler/jeep has been notified and a case has been opened, however, despite the problem being well-known they are not providing repair. *tr

When fueling, gasoline spits back just after pump automatically turns off. each time approximation one cup of gas is spilled on the side of the car and ground. in addition to wasting money, this is both a fire and environmental hazard. this occurs almost everytime the tank is filled up when the temperature is below 65f. *tr

Sept. 8, 2012 i took my jeep to the dealership i purchased it from, and have had all maintenance work completed by, for routine factory maintenance and an oil change. i told them i was leaving for an extended road trip and requested they look everything over to see if there might be any safety issues. on sept. 17, 2012 while traveling on the interstate, i accelerated and the accelerator pedal stuck. i do not have cruise control and it was not related to the floor mats. this happened several times while on the road trip. i returned home sept. 19, 2012 and for the next 2 weeks the accelerator stuck intermittently, with no common underlying cause. oct. 2, 2012, while backing into a parking space the accelerator stuck at a high rpm and i nearly crashed. i contacted the same dealership, who originally wanted to look at the vehicle almost a week later even after i explained how serious the issue was. i managed to talk them into looking at the jeep on oct 3, 2012 and they were able to duplicate the accelerator sticking on their first try. they contacted me later in the day to tell me it would be $385 to fix and was not covered under my extended manufacturer warranty. i contacted the warranty administrators who also said it was not covered as the accelerator is considered "an accessory". i tried to get some assistance through chrysler customer care assistance to no avail. now the issue has become serious enough that i'm afraid to drive the vehicle. in other words, it is worse now than before. i'd like to receive some assistance with this issue and/or find out what truly constitutes a vehicle accessory, as the accelerator pedal seems to be an integral part of the vehicle's operation, not an "accessory" like a stereo or luggage rack. help? *tr

On the above mentioned date i was driving home from running errands and while doing so i had my sunroof open. while i was driving i decided to close my sunroof and when i did so it made a strange sound while closing. i then noticed that the sunroof had not closed properly and was still partially open. i contacted my insurance agency who suggested i bring my vehicle to one of their garages to be inspected. upon inspection, it was determined that this was indeed not covered under my insurance plan. i was refereed to you for possible assistance. *tr

While re-fueling at a gas station, once the gas pump stopped, fuel exploded out of the jeep liberty's fuel tank drenching my legs and the jeep with gasoline. this is very dangerous!! this has happened every time i refilled the tank - even if i stopped the fuel flow well before the gas tank was full. *tr

When vehicle is or is not in motion the vehicles lights,horn,turn signals,instrument gauges,and windshield wiper begin to malfunction and operate on its own squirting all the windshield wiper fluids,headlights flickering,horn honking on it's own and instrument panel gauges flicker and flashing,until either battery dies or battery becomes disconnected. *tr

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

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.

When the gas tank is filled gas shoots out when the gas pump shuts off. there seems like there is a buildup of pressure in the gas tank. this is an ongoing problem with every fill 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

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. the contact stated that while refueling, the fuel overflowed and spewed onto the contact's hands, arms and clothing. the failure recurred whenever the contact refueled the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to dealer for inspection but there was no defect found. the manufacturer was not made aware of failure but provided no assistance. the vin was unavailable. the current mileage was 31,000. the failure mileage was 7,500.

I have the slider sunroof and it flew backwards while going to work in september, 5 months after i had it . took it to 3 car dealerships (one charged me $79.00 to look at it) to be told it had to be replaced and would be $2000. i requested help from chrysler, the caseworker said she could help me and then i was denied. the slider sunroof is a hazard. i tried multiple things to have it repaired but there was no repair only to replace the whole thing. i had it strapped down, plastic and taped until i could get it fixed as with no top some water damage occurred and for a newer vehicle it looked terrible. while that worked for awhile the top again flew off totally just a few weeks ago. i turned it in to my insurance company as i did nothing to the top for it to malfunction as it did. i am getting it repaired now with so far just paying my deductible but am very worried it may happen again. it was a poor thought out idea as the top is just canvas with a few very small, thin metal rods that snapped apart when it flew backwards. i believe chrysler should recall all the slider sunroofs and implement another idea for these. also after seeing what they are made of and how these sunroofs are put together i don't believe they would protect very well if you did happen to flip the vehicle. *tr

Power dropped and engine ran rugged- not able to pull into oncoming traffic. according to the dealer i needed to replace all 4 oxygen sensors and the tcm. *tr

Upon opening skyslider passanger side of top did not open, when finally starting to open got stuck at first frame. would not close properly. this needs to be recalled. consumer should not have this many problems. *js

The skyslider malfunctioned, does not open evenly, will not close correctly. *js

When i fill up the tank, gas overflows. *tr

After just purchasing vehicle from used dealership (2nd owner), first time filling up resulted in overflow of gas. tried multiple gas stations, speeds, amounts and resulted in same overflow. called dealership and they refused to check out the car unless i paid non-refundable 200 inspection fee before diagnosis (keep in mind i had just purchased the vehicle)! called manufacturer and they claimed not a known issue although current recall states otherwise. 2008 jeep liberty should be added to that recall effort! *js

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. the contact stated that while driving at moderate speeds, the windshield wipers, horn and door locks would activate independently. the contact stated that when the doors locked, no one could exit the vehicle. the vehicle manually had to be unlocked from the outside. the vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed no failures. the vehicle was then taken to an auto mechanic who was also unable to diagnose any failures. the manufacturer was not notified of the issue. the failure mileage was 88,000 and the current mileage was 93,000.

Every time i fill up with gas, the gas spews from the filler neck when the tank is full. this happens whether the nozzle shuts off automatically or if i shut it off manually to try to prevent it from spewing out. this happens no matter which gas station i fill up at, whether it's near home or out of town. i have driven many, many makes of automobiles since 1956 (that's 56 years) and this is the first vehicle that ever gave me this problem.

While driving my jeep liberty, the wipers and horn came on suddenly and the entire electrical panel lit up. after taking it to the dealer several times, they finally determined it was the tipm module that needed to be replaced. the part was backordered. i have since found there is a national backorder (since 2010) with over 270+ in my area alone. the issue became progressively worse as i would get in my car and it would not start. unlocking the vehicle appears to cause the automobile to engage something electrical (though i only open it manually - not with the keyless entry) which results in the vehicle acting as though it is already on. most recently, while driving on the freeway at 70mph, i had a jolt before the wipers/horn went off and the emergency brake light was on. i believe the system is now engaging the emergency brake. i have discontinued driving the vehicle as a result. i believe this vehicle is a lemon. there are multiple complaints online with many other jeep owners experiencing the same issues. *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

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. the contact stated the sunroof would not open. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing and they could not identify the failure. the manufacturer stated they would contact him if they were going to assume the repair cost of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 42,000 and current mileage was 57,000. the vin was not available.

While driving on expressway at approx speed of 55mph sunroof opened on its own and would not close. vehicle 10 months out of warranty, dealer estimated $2700 damage to actual panels and motor. manufacturer wouldn't assist with cost of repair!!! *tr

Sky slider roof assembly partially opened and will not close. *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

Every time i fill my fuel tank the gasoline overflows and spills all over the vehicle and ground. this will happen when i fill automatically or manually. *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.

When filling the vehicle up with gasoline, it spews out of the intake, draining all over the vehicle and the ground of the gas station. not only is this a waste of a resource and money but it is very dangerous as one spark could ignite the entire gas station killing innocent children and other citizens. this is a very common problem, there are many complaints all over this site and many others. this problem needs to be resolved before people are hurt. *tr

While putting gas in the tank i have to put it in very slow or it will shut off, then when the gas tank gets close to full gas will gush out. also some times i smell gas inside the vehicle. *tr

Valve lifters of the jeep liberty 3.6l engine failed prematurely at 40k. manufacturer refused fixing the problem as truck was just out of warranty. *tr

When my wife fills here 2008 jeep liberty the fuel pump doesn't shut off and full shots out of the filler. this came on suddenly had it looked at once (non-jeep dealer) and found nothing. this even happens when the pump is set to the lowest speed. this is dangerous and wasteful! *tr

Fuel shoots out of inlet when filling gas tank. during one of the many incidents the fuel shot out about 18 inches from the filler inlet. *tr

I purchased a used 2008 jeep liberty in may of 2011. everything was fine until mid-december 2011 while i was filling up the gas tank. the pump shut off automatically but gas spouted out of the fill all over the pump handle and my hand. it's a considerable amount of gas spilling down the side of the vehicle and puddling on the ground. this now happens every time i fill the tank unless i try to cut it off early. this is a safety issue because of the danger of spilled gas and an major inconvenience. i see hundreds of similar complaints online so clearly this is not an isolated problem. i strongly urge nhtsa to investigate this issue and compel chrysler to correct the problem. *tr

When filling my jeep 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 and is obviously a waste of money. *tr

Safety concern: while filling up my 2008 jeep liberty the gas pump shuts off automatically, but a large amount of gas spills out of the filler tube all over the ground, vehicle, and on the person pumping the gas. this occurs every time i fill up. this seems to be a common problem and is very dangerous. *tr

Gas tank overflows after it is filled. jeep service told me it is caused by a cut-off valve defect no longer covered by warranty and that the repair costs $750.00 and involves replacing the entire fuel tank. i see from the internet that this problem is common to this vehicle. have you previously been made aware of it and is it the subject of a recall? it is obviously a very dangerous situation as the gas literally spews out of the vehicle. *tr

While filling with fuel, when almost full, fuel would gush out of the filler. this happened repeatedly. *tr

Large amount of fuel violently splashes out of fuel fill tube every time the vehicle is filled up. fuel splashes all over the side of the vehicle and the person filling it. this is a dangerous malfunction of the fuel system. *tr

During refueling at service station fuel spills from tank filler after the automatic fuel filler shutoff valve turns off (about a cup of fuel burps out). extreme fire hazard! problem has gone from once in a number of fills to every time! *tr

The gastank overflows and spits out a considerable amount of gasoline every time you get gas! it is a hazard and a safety issue. i have contacted chrysler jeep for a year now and they refuse to assist in correcting the problem. i have attempted to get the gastank repaired and it still will not work properly. from my research there are many of these complaints online about this same issue. i can't believe jeep has not issued a recall on these vehicles. i am worried everyday about the safety of me and my family. i'm not willing to take any more chances with gas all over the truck every time i drive, and how can i go about selling a car to someone with this problem. i am not sure where to go next. i hope you can help in this matter. *tr

We purchased a 2008 jeep liberty used from a toledo dealership in april of 2011. the fuel auto shut-off does not work at all, and every time we top off the tank fuel ends up "burping" all over the side of the vehicle, onto the ground, and in some cases onto the person fueling the vehicle. even the salesperson complained that she got fuel on her when we asked her to top it off before we drove it off the lot. this seems to be the exact same issue that we had with our 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited. however, there was a safety recall for that and a new fuel tank and neck had to be installed that fixed the problem. it seems to me that there should be a safety recall on the 2008 jeep liberty to fix what seems to be an identical problem that was recalled and remediated. every time i've contacted the original and local dealerships regarding the issue i've been told that there is nothing wrong with the vehicle. *tr

While filling up my 2008 jeep liberty the gas pump shuts off automatically as it should have but, a large amount of gas spills out of the gas tank fill tube all over the ground, vehicle, and on the person pumping the gas when holding the nozzle grip manually. this occurs every time i fill up and occurs even when manually holding the fuel pump nozzle. i filed a complaint through mycarstats.com but noticed that the reports on this issue have started to increases quite a bit since my report a few months ago. the complaints are spread throughout many complaint forums on the internet. this seems to be a huge problem across the board and is a very dangerous issue since it is dealing with a highly combustible substance. many have taken this up with various dealerships and have gotten nowhere. this is where the government needs to step in and get this issue on the recall list for jeep liberty's and wrangler's. *tr

When filling up at a gas station, the gas tank over flows before the pump stops. i originally thought it was a broken pump, however, i have now filled up over 4 times at 4 different gas stations and the problem continues to happen. this most recent time i have lost around 1/2 gallon of gas on the ground. i am also concerned with the effect of the gas on my paint/car body. *tr

My 2008 jeep liberty has overflowed fuel when filling the tank 3 out of the 6 times i have filled it since purchased on 11/28. it has happened at several different gas stations. when the pump kicks off there is between 2-8 ounces of fuel that spits back around the handle with a fair amount of pressure. the area underneath the filler cap is soaked and a large puddle forms on the ground. i am concerned that at some point a fire may result. i also feel i must wash the car after every incident because i worry about the gas causing a paint defect. *kb

Every time i fill the gas tank, fuel gushes out of the filler neck onto the side of the vehicle and onto the ground. most times, the automatic fuel shutoff a the gas pump .... at various stations ... does not stop the flow. at other times, fuel gushes out even if the pump shuts off. i have tried slowing the rate fuel goes into the tank. sometimes this works. other times, it doesn't. the only way to avoid this potentially dangerous situation is to try to calculate how much fuel it will take to fill the vehicle and then stop the flow myself a couple of gallons early. there is a jeep tsb out on this problem. and there have been numerous complaints. the fuel spillage issue is dangerous and should be a recall item. *tr

I bought my jeep in june with just over 36000 miles. it was previously a rental vehicle. everything was fine until about september when i filled gas and the pump clicked off and gas came out all over at about 42,000 miles. i thought it was the gas pump, but then i went to other stations and it happened every time. i was going to bring it in to have it looked at but i see other people have the same problem. it is very irritating to have it happen every time! please have a recall! *tr

The last 3 times i have filled the gas tank on my vehicle, gas has overflowed onto the ground. after the 2nd time, the check engine light came on. i brought it to the dealership and was advised the code read that the filler neck was faulty and needed to be replaced. i advised them that i had an issue with gas overflowing onto the ground when filling up and was advised it "may" be fixed by the new filler neck since there is a sensor in there. i had the filler neck replaced. i filled the jeep again today, roughly a week after having the filler neck replaced, and again gas overflowed and leaked down the side of my jeep and onto the ground. up until this point, when filling my jeep, the gas pump would click off when the tank was full. i have gone to three different gas stations so it is not a problem with the pump at the station. *tr

Sudden engine acceleration incident. my wife and i were leaving a parking lot. after backing out of my parking space i drove for about 1 minute to a stop sign. i put the manual transmission in neutral and waited for a car to exit the intersection and for some pedestrians to cross. suddenly, without touching the accelerator, the engine began to race. i looked at the tachometer. the engine that normally idles at about 600 rpm was running at 2500 rpm. i sat at the stop sign for a few moments and decided the throttle must have stuck. with the stick shift in neutral i tapped the accelerator hoping to unstick the throttle. the engine roared to 3500 rpm and stayed there for 10-20 seconds. then the rpms started to drop back down to normal idle.. weather was clear and dry temperature 60 degrees, time 3 pm. it was scary. if the transmission was in gear when the engine took off, i would have taken off. i'm afraid to drive this car. *tr

Every time i go to fill my tank with gas there is a spill over. i have been to multiple different filling stations and get the same result every time. gasoline always runs down the side of the car as the tank reaches fuel capacity. gasoline spills out of the tank, down the side of the jeep, on to the ground, and even gets on my hands, clothes, and shoes. this is totally unacceptable! i have never had such an issue with something as simple as fueling a vehicle. i have owned this vehicle for less than 2 months. i purchased the vehicle used from carmax. i plan on contacting them regarding this problem. i have read other complaints online for the same year and model as my jeep. i feel that this is a major defect that warrants a total recall on all 2008 jeep liberty models. i don't like having to worry about ingesting gasoline when i eat because my hands were covered in gasoline. i don't like breathing the noxious fumes while i'm inside my car because fuel from a defective fuel tank has spilled on to my clothes and shoes. *tr

I have a warning ding that keeps recurring in my 2008 jeep liberty limited. it is a safety issue because it happens at completely random times, and causes the driver to look down in search of what the warning is in regard to, but there is not a corresponding light. the random warning ding happens on a regular basis, anywhere from at least once every 3 days up to 3 times in one day. there are other minor issues happening with the electrical, and the tire pressure monitor has been affected as well, but seems to be ok right now. however, i feel as if this issue is a warning sign for a bigger electrical issue that has yet to be resolved. i do not wish to be the case for which everyone else basis their examples on. i cannot seem to get chrysler/jeep to feel the urgency to look into this defect, however based on the random behavior and no success in finding the cause, it seems that this should be one of those circumstances where it's better to be safe than sorry. *tr

2008 jeep liberty limited 4x4, "burps" gasoline out of the gas tank every time i fill up with gas. i have filled up at multiple gas stations and every time the pump stops filling when full, but the jeep spits out gas after the pump stops. i can't believe there is no recall on this problem, since i see this as a very serious safety concern. *tr

I bought the car in 2009 as the second owner with 18,000 miles on it. about 6 months ago every time i fill up the gas tank it overflows and sprays gas all over the place. at first i thought it was the station but after using multiple stations i now have to estimate how much gas is left in the tank and then try and fill it up. this needs to be fixed as it is a major safety issue.

I own a 2008 jeep liberty. i am the second owner and purchased in late november 2010. the mileage at purchase was only 8,000 miles. when i filled the tank for the very first time, it overflowed, spilling gas down the side of the jeep, on my feet, clothes, hands, etc. every time i fill the tank, it over flows. i feel that this is highly unsafe as well as an inconvenience. i have to constantly shut off the pump early to avoid an overflow. i took it to the dealership and they informed me that i need a new gas tank at $730. i am now at 17,000 miles, well under the 3yr/36,000 mile warranty but due to the date, the warranty is expired. this is unsafe and ridiculous. a vehicle with 8,000 miles should not have gas spilling out of the tank at every fill. i understand that there is a current recall on wranglers for the same issue but nothing is being done about the liberty. *tr

2008 jeep liberty. i have owned the vehicle for 3 years and 5 months. it has 43,000 miles. four months ago the issue began while filling the car with gas. the gas pump does not turn off when the tank is full causing an overflow of gasoline onto the car and ground. this happens every time we refuel. several people have refueled just to ensure it was not user error and the same thing happens. we have also used many different gas stations. i have contacted the dealer and their response is that an issue has not been found and a recall has not been issued. the consumer stated chrysler agreed to pay for the fuel tank replacement and therefore request to delete this complaint. updated 06/07/11 *tr

I have a 2008 jeep liberty that will not shut off the gas valve when i am pumping gas. i previously had a 2005 jeep liberty that had the same problem. i feel this is a safety issue since gas drips down the side of the car, tire and eventually on the person pumping gas creating a very large puddle of gas that requires cleanup from the gas attendant. this has happened with 2 different styles of jeeps at various gas stations. *tr

The gas tank overflows every time fuel is pumped into the vehicle. this happens at all gas stations and regardless of how slowly the tank is filled. the problem started seemingly out of the blue with no accidents or damage to the car prior. gas sprays out of the filler tube as soon as the pump is removed, getting the person wet if they do not know to stand aside. gas also runs down the side of the vehicle. this is both a safety issue and an environmental / emissions issue that should be addressed by jeep. the interior smells of gas for a couple of hours after each overflow incident. we took it in for service and they said the entire gas tank would have to be replaced to fix the valve that has failed. we are out of warranty and feel this should be a safety recall and/or emissions warranty covered item. after looking online for solutions to the problem i have discovered that it is endemic to many jeep liberty and jeep wrangler vehicles made over the past several years. jeep has only offered to fix the problem for wranglers from 2007-08. *tr

I purchased my 2008 jeep liberty 4x4 in november 2010, and every single time i have filled up with gas, the fuel spills out of the tank just as the nozzle shuts off. this has happened at every gas station and every type of pump i have used. it is very frustrating because the gas runs down the side of the vehicle (near the exhaust), onto the ground, and often gets on me. i cannot imagine this is safe. not only is the spill harmful to the environment, it is also a fire hazard. and, with fuel prices creeping up, i become more and more frustrated at this wasted fuel that i am paying for. i have contacted my dealership about the issue and they informed me that a similar issue was found in 2007-2008 jeep wranglers, but there was no recall. please make chrysler take responsibility for the faulty valve that is supposedly causing this issue - for the safety and piece of mind of all loyal jeep owners. *tr

When putting fuel in the tank, it will burp out the fill line just as the pump is clicking off. cannot fill the tank without this happening and it occurs every time we fuel up. this problem started about 9 months ago and we have less than 40,000 miles on it now. no event led up to this starting, it just started when trying to fuel up. no matter how i try to fuel up, i get slosh back. this an environmental hazard besides the filling stations do not like having gasoline spilled in their stations. it is a 2008 jeep liberty 4x4. i had the car at brown dodge, chrysler, jeep today and they checked out the gas tank and could not find anything wrong. they did a thorough check and could not determine what was causing the problem. vin # [xxx]. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

2008 jeep liberty with 45k miles. now with gas tank overflow when filling both automatically and manually. gas overflows onto car and ground every time tank is filled completely, doesn't matter how you adjust nozzle or which gas stations is used. dealer unable to locate problem despite mulitple complaints filed to various safety agencies. huge safety and health consequences. *tr

While filling up my 2008 jeep liberty the gas pump shut off automatically as it should have, but a large amount of gas spit out of the gas tank fill tube all over the ground and vehicle. this is the second time in a row that this has happened with this vehicle. it seems to be an issue with the tank venting. vehicle has only 19,254 miles on it. *tr

Every time the gas tank is being filled there is an eruption of fuel that comes out of the gas tank fill when the gas pump handle shuts off. even when manually holding the gas pump handle dispensing gas at a very slow rate, the gas tank fill still pours out gas when it reaches the full point and shuts off the pump.

At around the 74,000 mile marker, my gas tank began spewing out gasoline upon filling up at the gas station. the tank holds roughly 17.5 gallons, and the nozzle (up to this point) would always automatically shut off upon a full tank when at the pump. now, when the tank is nearing full, the fuel spills out of the gas tank, leaking gasoline all over the side of the vehicle, on my hands, shoes, clothes and ground. the only way to try and avoid this issue is to estimate a cut-off point in which to stop pumping fuel at around the 17.0 gallon mark, which is still very hard to do without the spillage occurring and often leaves me with a partial fillup to avoid getting soaked in gasoline. as of 4 days ago, my gascap and check engine indicator lights came on. i've fully refueled 3 times since then and tightened the gas cap and the lights have not disappeared. i often suffer headaches from the gasoline fumes that i carry back into the vehicle on my hands, clothes and feet from the gas spillage that occurs when i fill up. this problem seems to be very common amongst jeep owners based on the amount of forums i've found online.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty 4x4. the contact was driving 30 mph as transmission fluid began abnormally leaking from the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to the dealer who performed a diagnostic test that located the failure at the transmission seal. the dealer replaced the transmission seal and housing extension but the failure persisted. when attempting to shift gears, the transmission would exhibit an unusual knocking. on one occasion while driving 30 mph, the vehicle abnormally accelerated and the contact was able to stop the acceleration by abruptly applying the brakes. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 1,850 and the current mileage was 45,000.

When filling the fuel tank with gas, at the full point the tank shoot back about a quarter gallon of gas onto the ground and on the side of the car. this is without topping the tank off, as it happens at the point that the gas pump automatically shuts off. there is an extreme danger of this with gasoline being all over.

Putting gasoline into my 2008 jeep liberty, the gas pump shuts off as expected however gasoline spews out of the jeep's filling system. tried different pumps same results, this occurs without "topping off the tank". this i a serious safety hazard with gas being spilled on my clothing, shoes, hands, vehicle and ground. once this happens the interior of the vehicle smells like gas causing headaches and breathing problems. i am just waiting for someone to cause a spark at the gas pump to ignite me. i have seen numerous complaints on various internet forums stating the same issues, this tells me that this is a real problem that jeep has not addressed. *tr

We have an overflowing gas tank. when pump clicks that the tank is full gas comes pouring out onto myself and the side of the vehicle onto the ground. *tr

Fuel spill during refueling. while refueling the car, when the tank was almost full, fuel started to spill resulting in spraying the car and the ground within 3 feet radius with gas. this creates a risk of fire and health hazards by spilling gas onto skin. chrysler/jeep is aware of the problem and they have a tsb for this problem but refuse to make a recall. they are also aware of the problem on this particular vehicle and the vehicle was at the dealer service center 3 times for this particular problem but so far they have failed to fix the issue. *tr

When making a turn onto an unlevel paved road (such as turning onto a road when traveling up or down a small hill, or a road with an uneven surface), my car consistently loses traction and decelerates. when this happens, the electronic stability program/traction control system indicator light flashes. i have also noticed the same problem when driving on wet roads, and when driving on lightly sandy surfaces (such as the roads along our beach nearby). when this happens, the car often slows to an unsafe speed and is dangerous, especially when making a turn to cross a road with oncoming traffic. i purchased this car 2 years ago for myself, with the intention of giving it to my daughter when she reached driving age this year. with this defect, i do not trust this vehicle as safe for her to drive unless this problem gets resolved. *tr

Every time i fuel my 2008 jeep liberty the fuel nozzle does not shut off properly when full, causing fuel to spew out onto the car, my hands, my clothing and the concrete beneath the car at the gas station. i complained to the dealer while the vehicle was under warranty on 3/9/2010 and they replaced the filler tube. the repair did not fix the problem. i have been living with this issue for a year now. today, while at the gas station, the person in the isle next to me, driving a 2008, 4-door jeep wrangler, had the same issue. i asked her about it and she said the problem had just begun for her in the past month, but it now happens to her every fuel up. i decided i would look into it further. after seeing the multiple online posts, i decided to make a complaint, as this is obvioiusly a defect with jeep vehicles. *tr

The fuel spills out of the tank when fueling the car resulting in gas on the vehicle and ground of the gas station. this has been going on for about two months. i have taken it to the dealer who said it needed a fuel vapor filter replaced. this did not fix the problem and now the dealer states i need a new gas tank. since this is a non-maintainable part i feel it is a mfr. defect and a very unsafe one at that. *tr

While filling my jeep with gasoline the pump is never triggered to shutoff and it causes a lot of fuel spilling all over me, the car and the ground. prompting me to quickly clean myself and the car. this is an extremely dangerous situation not only due to its flammability but also its potential carcinogenic effects. *tr

Every time i fill up my gas tank the nozzle does not trigger to release the shut off on the gas coming back out of the input which results in a lot of gas overflowing back onto my vehicle, the ground and my clothes. this happens even if i watch the amount of gallons being put into the tank and try and shut it off ahead of time. *tr

Jeep liberty 2008 gas gushing out every time after filling tank - according to dealer, roll-over valve is faulty inside gas tank so entire gas tank must be replaced (about $800+). this valve ensures that gas will not leak into vehicle in the event of a roll-over accident; also ensures gas won't shoot out of the gas tank after filling with fuel. gas erupts out of tank and back onto the face, body and feet of the consumer as well as all down the side of vehicle and onto the ground near gas pumps. very unsafe hazard. not a maintenance problem but rather a defective part inside the gas tank. should not be the consumer's responsibility to replace. vehicle is only 2 1/2 years old with 40,000 miles logged. this occurs each and every time the tank is filled whether or not it is on auto-fill or manually regulated. tricky work to manually stop gas flow before it gushes out. lodged complaint with jeep of america but was told only possible recourse was to pay for repair myself; submit claim to them after the fact, and they may or may not decide to assist me with costs (they won't call it reimbursement) for some or all of my expenses. they claimed no responsibility and complete lack of knowledge about the problem although this concern is posted all over the internet in various forums. thank you. *tr

2008 jeep liberty chatters when backing up slight incline. problem since new. still under warranty. dealer installed torque converter and new rear drive shaft on two different visits. neither solved issue. dealer and chrysler told me that this is "...the nature of the beast." local service rep. told me that he's driven several with same problem. chrysler refuses to go any further with solving the issue, basically, telling me to "...live with it." if, indeed, it is "...the nature of the beast...," shouldn't there be a recall to address this? at this point, i'm looking into litigation for breach of contract, as their warranty assures me a flawless product. the consumer stated the vehicle would shudder or jerk while backing up on an incline. the consumer was advised by a chrsyler rep to take the vehicle to a local transmission shop to get a diagnosis only. the repair shop believed the problem was the front u-joint on the rear driveline which was very stiff in one direction, the slip yoke was a little stiff and the hill brake did not release quick enough. the driveline was installed. however, the problem continued. updated 01/12/11. *jb *tr

Vehicle accelerated and would not stop. i did hard braking and it just pushed it anyway. pulled off the road and the wheels dug trenches in the dirt. got it stopped, called a wrecker and had it towed to the jeep dealer where we purchased the vehicle, told them what happened and that the throttle light came on the dashboard and they said they could find nothing wrong and that they had never heard of this happening to anyone else. they reset the computer and sent me home. i am concerned it could happen again. is there any evidence of this happening to others ? *tr

The driver's side window on my 2008 jeep liberty fell down a few days ago. when i brought it in to get fixed, i was told that this was a common problem and, because of that, the part had been redesigned and i would now need a new window as well, totaling over $800. my warranty just elapsed less than 6,000 miles ago. i was also told that this would likely be recalled eventually but that doesn't help me while my window is being held up with duct tape because i don't have an extra $800 to fix it at the moment. *tr

My jeep liberty does not defog properly. at outdoor temps below -13 c. it begins to ice up and will get to the point where you cannot see out of the side windows. it has been into the dealer six times. the last time they said they had replaced the entire heating system. this did not correct the problem. the engineers at chrysler canada told me the system is extremely sensitive to moisture; so if there are wet boots or a hockey bag in the vehicle the system will not function properly. considering i live in northern ontario this sounds a little strange to me. i did keep the recorded message from chrysler costumer service. *tr

Upon removal of fuel nozzle from the tank, after filling the tank, about two cups of fuel burp out of the tank onto the side of the vehicle and ground. happens at all stations, only way to avoid it is to not fill the tank or let the fuel nozzle sit for a minute or two before removal. i have returned vehicle to dealer with this complaint three times with no repair action taken by the dealer. *tr

When driving the jeep up hill the jeep will drop its speed tremendously from 65 or 70 to 40 or even 30 mph. this occurs every time i drive it up a hill. in heavy highway it is dangerous. the dealership said that's how they all operate and after checking the vehicle nothing is wrong with it. i was also told by the dealership to just push the accelerator down to the floor and this may help. this process is also very dangerous because when you get past the hill the car is then moving at a high speed which is also dangerous. since this is something that the dealership states cannot be corrected. consumers should be made aware of this malfunction of this vehicle. road trips are not safe if you drive uphill. nothing will be done until something happens. unfortunately chrysler will continue to sweep this under the rug until then. i also contacted customer service for chrysler which was a waste of time due to the fact that i was hung up on and refused a manager as well as any one of authority. i would like a resolution to this type of defect which is not a normal operation of any vehicle. i was also told that many customers complain about this and obviously nothing is going to be done. i was also told that the car is safe and a representative from chrysler verified that knowing that the vehicle has a problem with hills. i was also told by a mechanic that the body is too heavy for a 4 cylinder engine. unfortunately chrysler does not make the consumers aware of this before purchasing the vehicle, which is a concern of mine as well. i am sure that eventually every customer that has purchased this vehicle is aware of it after the fact. *tr

Several years ago there was a recall on my fuel tank for gas over spilling while fueling the car. that was replaced but now i can't fill my tank completely because when i do the inside of my car smells of gas fumes from the tank up to the front seat. there is also an issue with the car staling at a stop or the ignition having trouble catching when i crank the car.

Was informed by my dealership that the crossmember that goes between the frame and holds the engine and transmission in place was rusted out and needed replacing. was also informed that there was a recall for the part on 2007 jeep patriots, but not on 2008 and i'd have to pay for the repair. was told not to drive the vehicle until repaired as it was a serious safety issue!!. what choice did i have? i paid. . . through the nose for something that would have been covered had i bought a 2007 model. i was given this website to make a complaint. additionally, have had issues with the door locks not working (pop up on their own while driving or parked) and automatic windows not always working (had to have have some "cylinder" for the electronics in the driver's side door replaced.) the "check engine" light still shows 'on' because a part that's on "backorder" in the back by where the gas is filled is rusted and needs replacing.

I just returned from alexander chrysler jeep in franklin, tn 615-794-5000. they tried to blame a vacuum hose for letting gasoline fumes in the cabin of the 2008 jeep liberty to avoid a warranty fix. this is where the my health and safety complaint comes in. my wife has been complaining about being sick with headaches and stomach pain for months. originally we took the jeep in for "gas cap" warning on the odometer and engine light. nothing was found. today i took the jeep in an alexander found a clearly abraded or deteriorated vacuum hose that they said could allow the gas fumes into the cabin. my wife has been breathing this for months and if this is a common problem this exposes occupants to toxic fumes and risks an explosion hazard in the engine compartment. this needs to be investigated asap. if you can contact me asap i can let you see this hose as it sits. *tr
