2008 Jeep Liberty

VEHICLE WILL LOOSE POWER WHILE AT HWY SPEED. AS IF SLAMMING ON BRAKES DASH LIGHTS LIGHT UP AS YOUR SEATBELT LOCKS AND YOU SLAM FORWARD. HEADLIGHTS WILL TURN OFF WHILE INSIDE DASH LIGHTS REMAIN ON. MUST USE BRIGHTS TO DRIVE OR PULL OVER. WINDOWS, SEATS MOVE THEMSELVES. WHILE VEHICLE IS OFF AND UNATTENDED. SOMETIMES WHILE PULLING IN A PARKING SPOT CAR LUNGES FORWARD. SOMETIMES WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT IT JUST POWERS OFF AND MUST BE RESTARTED. EVIDENCE OF A LEAK SOMEWHERE CAN NOT BE LOCATED. THE LEAK HAS STAINED A LITTLE ON THE INSIDE ROOF. *TR

HEAT DECIDED TO NOT WORK ON THE FIRST 30 DAY W/ SNOW AND ICE. PASSENGER VENTS ARE BLOWING LUKE WARM AIR, AND THE DRIVERS SIDE BLOWING COLD AIR. ALSO, NO AIR AT ALL COMING FROM THE BLOWER AT THE DRIVERS FEET. NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS AS I HAD READ 100'S OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE BLEND DOOR NOT OPERATING PROPERLY ON JEEPS OF ALL TYPES. THIS IS A $1000 FIT, AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE BLEND DOOR. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE OUTRAGE! *TR

PRIOR TO ACCIDENT, THE SKY SLIDER LEAKED WATER INTO THE ELECTRICAL ROOF LIGHT COMPACTS DROPPING DOWN INTO GEAR SHIFT. ALSO LEAKED INTO TRUNK AND BACK SEAT OF JEEP FROM CEILING. EVEN AFTER REPAIRED BY DEALERSHIP TWICE, IT CONTINUED TO LEAK WATER DURING AND AFTER RAIN. THE AUTOMATIC DRIVER SIDE WINDOW SINCE LEAKING ISSUES, HAS SHORTED AND FAILED TO CLOSE (GO UP) ON A DAILY BASIS. DEEP FRONT END COLLISION HAD ZERO DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAG IN FRONT- INCLUDES DURING/AFTER PASSENGER SIDE ROLLOVER. ONLY SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. CONCUSSION AND MUSCLE SPASMS RESULTED FROM ACCIDENT. BODY HIT AGAINST STEERING COLUMN, HEAD AND ARM AGAINST DRIVER WINDOW AND FRAME. ENTIRE WEEK OF UNPAID MEDICAL LEAVE FROM EMPLOYER BY DOCTORS ORDER. TOTAL LOSS OF JEEP. SEATBELT HELD ME IN SUSPENSE WHILE JEEP WAS ON IT'S SIDE. ALTHOUGH IT LEFT ME WITH PAINS IN HIPS, ABDOMEN AND LEGS, THE SEATBELT SAVED ME FROM ENDING UP IN THE WINDOW AND GLASS IN MY SKIN FROM THE ROLLOVER WINDOW GLASS BREAKAGE. FEELS LIKE JEEP INITIATED ROLLOVER UPON FRONT IMPACT AFTER HAVING BEEN STOPPED COMPLETELY. ..UPDATED 11/18/14 *BF UPDATED 10/7/2015*JS

IT STARTED A WITH WHEN I GOT OUT OF JEEP AND PUSH BUTTON TO LOCK THE VEHICLE IT WOULDN'T LOCK AND THE HORN WOULD NOT BEEP LIKE IT DOES WHEN IT LOCKS SO I HAD TO LOCK IT MANUALLY. WHEN I GOT OUT OF STORE AND GOT BACK INTO JEEP IT WORKED AND IT ONLY HAPPENS AFTER THE CAR HAS WARMED UP IS WHAT IT SEEMS LIKE, THEN I WAS PULLING INTO A TURNING LANE AND SLOWING DOWN AND HEARD A HORN BEEP LOUD JUST TO REALIZE THAT IT WAS MY JEEP THAT BEEPED AND I NEVER PRESSED THE HORN AT ALL. THEN TODAY I GET INTO CAR AND SIT IN SEAT AND USE THE POWER SEAT BUTTON TO ADJUST THE DRIVER SEAT AND DIDN'T EVEN TOUCH THE STEERING WHEEL AND DIDN'T PUT THE KEY IN IGNITION EITHER AND MY FLASHERS STARTED FLASHING BUT, THEN CUT RIGHT OFF. WHEN I GOT WHERE I WAS GOING AND PARKED MY JEEP IT HAPPENED AGAIN THE FLASHERS STARTED TO FLASH AND THEN STOPPED. WHEN I WALKED UP TO THE JEEP WITHOUT PRESSING ANY BUTTONS MY CAR UNLOCKED ON ITS OWN AND THE LIGHTS CAME ON. SOMETIMES MY RADIO TAKES ABOUT 10 SECONDS OR SO BEFORE IT STARTS TO WORK. WINDSHIELD WIPER DOESN'T WANT TO BLOW OUT ANY FLUID SAYS IT NEEDS A MOTOR. HAVE A SLIDER ROOF AND NOTICED THAT IT HAS LEAKED PREVIOUSLY CAUSE I CAN SEE RAIN MARKS AROUND THE EDGES OF THE SLIDER AND WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I CAN HEAR WIND FROM COMING THE ROOF SO ITS NOT SEALING LIKE IT SHOULD. I CAN HAVE THE HEAT ON BUT, LATER IN THE DAY WHEN IT GETS HOT I WILL TURN ON THE AC AND THE AC DOESN'T WANT TO BLOW OUT COLD AIR AND I FIDDLE WITH THE SWITCHES FOR A BIT, I CAN FINALLY GET IT TO COME ON. I JUST BOUGHT IT LAST JANUARY SO I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD IT A YEAR YET AND ALWAYS TAKE IT IN FOR SERVICING PLEASE HELP ME I HAVE SEEN RECALLS FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME JEEP BUT, YOUR SITE TELLS ME NO OPEN RECALLS SO HOW DO I KNOW IF MINE HAS BEEN REPAIRED? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LIGHTS FLASHED, HORN ACTIVATED AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS WITH WIPER FLUID INDEPENDENTLY TURNED ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIPM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

FEBRUARY 2014: OPENED MY CAR WITH THE KEY WHEN THE FOB WOULDN'T WORK. HORN AND RADIO BLARED, BOTH FRONT AND REAR WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURNED ON, IN ADDITION TO ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS. CONTINUED FOR 10 MINUTES UNTIL BATTERY WAS DISCONNECTED. IN THAT TIME, THE CAR WOULD NOT START. AFTER 5 MINUTES, THE BATTERY WAS RECONNECTED AND THE CAR STARTED WITHOUT ISSUE. APRIL 2014: WHILE TURNING INTO A GAS STATION, MY JEEP COMPLETELY STOPPED. AFTER WAITING 2 MINUTES IT STARTED AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO CLEANED CORROSION AROUND THE BATTERY. 2 WEEKS LATER, I WAS DRIVING ON A 3 LANE HIGHWAY, BEGAN TO DECELERATE AND AT APPROXIMATELY 25MPH, THE JEEP'S ENGINE TURNED OFF. AT THE SAME TIME, ALL OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS TURNED ON IN ADDITION TO THE HORN AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT INCIDENT, WHERE THE JEEP CONTINUED THE SAME BEHAVIOR FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES, AND THEN ABRUPTLY STOPPED. THE CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN UNTIL THE BATTERY WAS DISCONNECTED AND THEN RECONNECTED. I BROUGHT IT TO A CHRYSLER DEALER THAT EVENING AND DETAILED THE ISSUES. THEY MONITORED IT FOR 3 DAYS, BUT ULTIMATELY RETURNED THE CAR STATING THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY ISSUES BUT COULD REPLACE MODULE FOR ALMOST $1000! MAY 2014: REPLACED THE BATTERY AND HAD MINIMAL ISSUES INCLUDING WINDSHIELD WIPERS RANDOMLY STARTING AND STOPPING, BUT NO HORN OR SHUT DOWN ISSUES, UNTIL... JUNE 2014: A SIMILAR INCIDENT OCCURRED THAT MIRRORED THE APRIL DECELERATION INCIDENT. AT THIS POINT I DISCONNECTED MY HORN--A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT THE BLARING WAS BECOMING INCREASINGLY INCONVENIENT. A WEEK LATER THE CAR TURNED OFF WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE. WHEN I EXITED THE THE STORE AND ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR, IT STARTED WITHOUT INCIDENT. SINCE JUNE, THE JEEP HAS ONLY EXHIBITED MINOR ISSUES SUCH AS THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS RANDOMLY STARTING, BUT IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. *TR

THERE HAS BEEN AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE WHERE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON FOLLOWED BY THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT (USUALLY AFTER MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN.) WHEN THIS FIRST STARTED THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, AND WENT TO JEEP. THEY HAD OUR LIBERTY FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND SWAPPED OUT THE CAM AND CRANKSHAFT SENSORS TO "FIX" THIS PROBLEM. THE CAR AGAIN WAS ACTING UP WITHIN A MONTH OR SO, AND WHEN WE CALLED THE DEALER BACK TO BRING IT BACK IN THEY ADVISED US THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WE PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR WAS NOW EXPIRED. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE TO HAVE THE CODES READ. IT WAS AGAIN CODE C121C, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CODES RELATING TO FAULTY CAM AND CRANKSHAFT SENSORS. SINCE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT THEY REPLACED THE CAM AND CRANKSHAFT SENSORS. I REPLACED THE NEEDED PARTS AND THIS LASTED MAYBE 20 MILES, PRIOR TO THE LIGHTS COMING BACK ON. I ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE THEM A SECOND TIME THINKING I MAY HAVE GOTTEN A DEFECTIVE PART OR TWO, BUT IT WOUND UP BEING THE SAME END RESULT; ABOUT 10-20 MILES IN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON. THIS PREVENTED THE VEHICLE FROM SHIFTING INTO OVER DRIVE, IT PREVENTS THE VEHICLE FROM ACCELERATING AT A NORMAL SPEED, AND ABOVE 50 MPH THE WHOLE VEHICLE WILL WILDLY SHUTTER WHEN YOU LET YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS. JEEP WILL NOT WARRANTY THE DRIVE TERRAIN EVEN THOUGH THE STATE THE VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE A 100K MILE WARRANTY ON THE DRIVE TERRAIN. *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
