2008 Jeep Liberty

THE FUEL TANK SUPPORT RUSTS OUT FROM THE INSIDE TO A POINT THAT IT SEEMS VERY UNLIKELY IT WOULD BE STRUCTURALLY SOUND IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. IT IS VERY CONCERNING THAT THIS WOULD NOT PUNCTURE THE TANK AND BE A CAUSE OF FIRE INSTEAD OF PROTECTING THE TANK AS IT IS MARKETED TO DO. THERE HAS BEEN NO INCIDENT YET, BUT AFTER AN ACCIDENT WOULD NOT BE THE TIME TO FIND OUT. CHRYSLER HAS REVIEWED THIS AND WILL NOT TAKE ACTION.

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.

STARTED CAR, STOPPED AT LIGHT, MADE A TURN. HORN STARTED BLARING, FRONT AND REAR WIPERS WENT ON WITH SPRAY IN REAR, DASHBOARD LIGHTS WENT CRAZY. PULLED INTO "GREASE MONKEY" PUT IT IN PARK, WOULDN'T TURN OFF, TOOK OUT KEY, STILL RUNNING. GREASE MONKEY EMPLOYEE REMOVED FUSE TO STOP HORN, BUT EVERYTHING ELSE WAS STILL GOING, EVEN AFTER DISCONNECTING BATTERY. AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES (WHILE WAITING FOR AAA), ENGINE STARTING SMOKING. NOT SURE WHAT HE DID, BUT EMPLOYEE FINALLY GOT IT TO TURN OFF. THERE WAS ALSO SOMETHING DRIPPING UNDER THE CAR. AAA TOWED IT TO THE CLOSEST AAA-APPROVED MECHANIC. DIAGNOSIS: TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED TO THE TUNE O $1400.00. I FEEL THIS DEFINITELY CREATED AN UNSAFE CONDITION, ESPECIALLY IF IT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE I WOULD NOT HAVE HAD IMMEDIATE HELP. WHO KNOWS WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED -- AN ACCIDENT, A FIRE?? SINCE IT IS A HOLIDAY WEEKEND AND THE PART HAD TO BE ORDERED, MY CAR WON'T BE WORKED ON UNTIL TUESDAY, 9/6; THEREFORE, I DO NOT HAVE AN INVOICE YET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE SUN ROOF WAS STUCK OPEN AND THE SWITCH FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SKY SLIDER ROOF WAS FRACTURED AND THE ELECTRONIC MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

RETRACTABLE ROOF BROKE WHILE DRIVING AND ALMOST FLEW OFF INTO TRAFFIC. LUCKILY THERE WAS A PASSENGER WHO WAS ABLE TO GRAP IT BEFORE IT FLEW OFF INTO TRAFFIC. A VERY BAD SAFETY ISSUE, COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. TO HAVE IT REPAIRED IT IS $600. WE DID NOT HAVE IT REPAIRED. THEY WERE ABLE TO CLOSE THE ROOF AND DISCONNECT IT. I CALLED JEEP AND THEY WERE NOT VERY NICE AND ARE NOT WILLING TO HELP PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. IF YOU LOOK IT UP ON THE INTERNET MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. WHY WASN'T IT RECALLED.

AIR BAG SENSOR HARNESS UNDER SEAT IS EXPOSED AND PRONE TO BREAK WHEN REAR SEATED PASSENGER(S) ARE IN VEHICLE. I HAVE REPLACED THE WIRING CONNECTORS/WIRING HARNESS 3 TIMES. ONE ON DRIVERS SIDE AND TWICE ON PASSENGER SIDE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE ROAD WHILE MOVING. IF CRUISE CONTROL IS ON IT WILL STOP FUNCTIONING UNTIL THE CAR HAS BEEN SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED.
