2008 Jeep Liberty

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.

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!!

WHILE DRIVING ON JUNE 30, 2016; THE JEEP GOES INTO PANIC MODE, LIGHTS FLASHING, WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORKING, DOOR LOCKS LOCKING AND UNLOCKING, AND HORN SOUNDING AUTOMATICALLY. VEHICLE IS NOT DISARMING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME SINCE FEB 2015. PROBLEM WAS TOLD TO BE CAR BATTERY. BATTERY REPLACED. REMOTE BATTERY WORKS FINE, THIS IS DANGEROUS AND THE PROBLEM KEEPS GETTING REPORTED WITH NO ACTION TAKEN BY JEEP-CHRYSLER FOR RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE DOORS WOULD RANDOMLY LOCK AND UNLOCK, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHER FLUID WOULD ERRONEOUSLY ACTIVATE, AND THE HORN AND ALARM WOULD RANDOMLY SOUND. THE CONTACT ALSO INDICATED THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS FAULTY. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,656. ...UPDATED 06/30/16 *BF *CN

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.

DRIVING ON CITY STREET WHEN HORN BEGAN INTERMITTENTLY BEEPING AND WIPERS AND WASHERS FRONT AND BACK ACTIVATED. PULLED OFF TO SIDE OF ROAD, REMOVED KEY, ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN, ALONG WITH HORN, WIPERS, WASHERS AND LOCKS CONTINUED TO INTERMITTENTLY ACTIVATE. LASTED 15 MINUTES AND THIS IS THE 5TH TIME HAPPENING. AFTER CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME CAR FUNCTIONS NORMALLY. ONE INSTANCE OCCURRED AT NIGHT AND LIGHTS TURNED OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. WITHOUT WARNING, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE, WATER PUMP, AND VARIOUS OTHER WARNING LIGHTS RANDOMLY FLICKERED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND PROVIDED NO SPECIFIC DIAGNOSIS. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE WATER PUMP, BELT, AND THERMOSTAT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.
