2008 Jeep Liberty

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ADHESIVE WOULD NOT HOLD THE REAR WINDOW IN PLACE AND WATER LEAKED THROUGH THE WINDOW. IN ADDITION, THE ODOMETER DISPLAYED AN ERROR MESSAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

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!!!!!!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE SKY SLIDER SUNROOF SLID OFF THE TRACK AND INDEPENDENTLY OPENED HALFWAY. THE SKY SLIDER SUNROOF ALSO FAILED TO FUNCTION WHEN ACTIVATED. IN ADDITION, THE WINDOW CONTROLS ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE SKY SLIDER SUNROOF NEEDED TO BE PUT BACK ON TRACK. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

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.
