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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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
