2008 Jeep Liberty

MY CAR BATTERY DIED. AFTER REPLACING BATTERY I HAVE AN ERROR MESSAGE DISPLAYED ACROSS THE ODOMETER. I HAVE TRIED RESETTING THE PANEL. HAD IT SCANNED AND FOUND NOTHING..DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY CABLE FOR OVER AN HOUR, DID NOT RESET THE MESSAGE. WAS TOLD THE PCN NEEDED TO BE FLASHED. COST $200 DOLLARS. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME THING AND WONDERING WHY THERE ISN'T A RECALL OF WHAT EVER IS GOING ON. ALL OF THE STORIES ARE THE SAME. LOSS OF BATTERY POWER WHEN THEY TURN CAR ON AFTER RECONNECTING BATTERY. THE ERROR MESSAGE OCCURS AND DOES NOT GO AWAY. THIS SHOULD REALLY BE A RECALL IT IS EFFECTING A LOT OF JEEP LIBERTIES. *JS

REPLACED DRIVER SIDE DOOR KEY LOCK, HAD TO REMOVE INNER DOOR PNL, (DISCONNECTED BATTERY), AFTER JOB WAS COMPLETE AND STARTED FOR FIRST TIME, NOTICED THAT THE (DIGITAL) DASHBOARD ODOMETER INSTEAD OF SHOWING MILEAGE INDICATED THE WORD "ERROR". INVESTIGATED ON INTERNET AND DISCOVERED MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING SAME "ERROR" MESSAGE APPEAR ON ODOMETER AFTER DISCONNECTING BATTERY. *JS

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. (VEHICLE WAS USED THE NIGHT PRIOR IN A LIGHT RAIN) TURNED VEHICLE ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES TO NO AVAIL. AT DEALERSHIP WAS TOLD THE CLUSTER WAS BAD..BUT THERE ARE SO MANY HAVING THIS PROBLEM THAT THE PART IS BACKLOGGED BY 4 MONTHS OR MORE. COMPUTER WAS REFLASHED, SO EVERYTHING IS WORKING EXCEPT THE ODOMETER. CANNOT PASS INSPECTION WITHOUT GETTING A NEW CLUSTER SINCE THAT IS THE ONLY MEANS TO SHOW THE ODOMETER..YET ITS BACKLOGGED 4 MONTHS. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE IF ITS A VITAL TRUCK PART? *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

GOT OUT MY TRUCK AT WALMART AND THE DOORS AUTOMATIC LOCKED WHEN I CLOSED THE DRIVER DOOR THE LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING AND THE LOCKS STARTED LOCKING AND UN LOCKING. THAT WAS ON JUNE 3,2014. THE REALLY BAD ONE HAPPEN ON JUNE16,2014 WHEN I HAD MY DAUGHTER AND GRANDBABY WITH ME I GOT OUT THE CAR AND IT LOCKED AS USUAL AND THE LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING AND I COULD NOT GET MY DAUGHTER OR GRANDBABY OUT IT WAS VERY HOT OUTSIDE AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO BREAK THE WINDOW. I AM VERY AFRAID TO DRIVE MY JEEP. I FEEL TRAPPED IN IT AND I FEEL LIKE SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN IF MY KIDS OR GRANDBABY IS IN THERE AND IT WANT LET ME IN. I WAKE UP SOME MORNINGS AND THE BATTERY IS DEAD AND WANT CRANK LEAVING MY KIDS LATE FOR SCHOOL. PLEASE HELP. *TR

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE FUSE BOX NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND GAS CAP LIGHT ALSO COME ON THE AUTO START WILL NOT WORK & DASH LIGHT GETS REAL DIME ALSO GPS LIGHT GET REAL DIME/ AND THERE IS A REAL STRONG SMELL OF GAS THAT COMES INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO 4 DIFFERENCE CHRYSLER DEALER SHIP AND COMPUTER HAS BEEN REPLACED SENSOR HAVE ALL BEEN REPLACED GAS TANK REPLACED GAS CAP REPLACED .THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN FOR THESE PROBLEM 11 TIMES AND HAS NEVER BEEN FIXED CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE 6 DIFFERENT TIMES ALL WE GET IS THE RUN AROUND . THE DEALER SHIPS DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND HAVE PUT 1,500 MILE ON THE VEHICLE DRIVING IT. NEED SOME KNOW TO WHY THIS CAN NOT BE FIXED. *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
