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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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. I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS WITH OTHER JEEP LIBERTY OWNERS AND HAVE GONE ON LINE AND HAVE SEEN THIS TO BE A COMPLAINT OF MANY. I ALSO CALLED JEEP AND FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THEM DIRECTLY. THEY SAY THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS TYPE OF THING HAPPENING. THIS CAN'T BE VERY SAFE HAVING A QUARTER OF A GALLON OF GAS SHOOTING OUT EVERY TIME YOU FILL UP THE TANK. PLEASE HELP. *TR
