2008 JEEP LIBERTY Structure Problems

Recently driving down the road heard a very loud noice thought i had a tire blowout. It was both Rear lower control arms broken Completely into( very rusty ).It also broke my exhaust and banged up the driveshaft. This is very expensive to repair and could have very well been Deadly. Would like for someone to contact me asap ty

THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION GOING ABOUT 40 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE SKY SLIDER ROOF ALMOST CAME OFF. IT STARTED FLAPPING VERY BAD. I HAD IT FIXED AND IT IS BROKEN AGAIN.

Mileage: 70,000

ALL THESE COMPLAINTS ON THE SKY SLIDER ANY CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS OR CHRYSLER ISSUING COMPENSATION? OR BUY BACKS?

Mileage: 102,875

SKY SLIDER IS BROKE AND NOBODY HAS THE PARTS TO FIX IT. IT LEAKS WATER AND DOESN'T CLOSE ALL THE WAY SO THE NOISE IS AWFUL. ONLY FIX IT TO SCREW IT SHUT OR REPLACE WITH HARD ROOF. WE NEED REPLACEMENT PARTS ASAP. *TR

Mileage: 130,000

IT WOULDN'T LET ME CLICK ON MULTIPLE OTHER OPTIONS LIKE THE WINDSHIELD. SNOW BLOWS THROUGH THE FRONT VENT SOMETIMES AS I'M DRIVING IF I HAVE IT ON REGULAR HEAT OR DEFROST. THE BREAKS HAVE ALWAYS SQUEAKED SINCE I GOT THE VEHICLE IN 2018. I HAVE TO PLAY WITH THE SEATBELT TO GET IT TO LOCK IN PLACE. THE WHEEL SOMETIMES TURNS ON ITS OWN RANDOMLY TO THE LEFT AND THE SUSPENSION IS REALLY OFF AND BOUNCY.

MY ROOF SKY SLIDER HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED FROM THE TRACK THAT IT CONNECTS TO AND WILL NOT STAY ON THE ROOF WITHOUT MANUAL INTERVENTION. I CURRENTLY HAVE THE ROOF TAPED DOWN SO IT DOES NOT FLY OFF WHILE DRIVING. WITH THE SLIDER BEING DISCONNECTED, IT HAS CAUSED MANY LEAKS TO ALLOW WATER INTO THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE, DAMAGING THE ROOF, FLOORBOARDS, AND HAS GOTTEN INTO SOME OF THE ELECTRICAL AREAS SUCH AS OVERHEAD LIGHTS ABOVE FRONT DASH. INITIAL DISCONNECT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AND SKYSLIDER WAS CLOSED. IT STARTED TO OPEN UP IN THE FRONT RIGHT CORNER FROM WIND PRESSURE AND WITHOUT PUSHING THE BUTTON TO OPEN IT. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT THE PINS THAT KEEP THE SLIDER IN PLACE DISCONNECTED AND WILL NOT CONNECT BACK TOGETHER. CURRENTLY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE, REAR DRIVER SIDE, AND REAR PASSENGER SIDE ALL HAVE DISCONNECTED PINS AND THE SLIDER WILL NOT STAY ON THE ROOF WITHOUT INTERVENTION. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE. THIS IS VERY MUCH A SAFETY ISSUE AS IF I WERE TO REMOVE THE TAPE HOLDING THE ROOF DOWN, IT WOULD FLY OFF WHILE DRIVING, PUTTING MYSELF AND OTHERS IN DANGER. MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION (AND POOR MANUFACTURING IN MY OPINION) IS THE MAIN PROBLEM THAT HAS CAUSED THIS ISSUE. I HAD USED THE SLIDER LESS THAN 10 TIMES BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. I CONTACTED INSURANCE TO OPEN A CLAIM AND THEY SAID IT WOULD FALL UNDER MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION AND THAT WAS NOT COVERED IN MY COVERAGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 LIBERTY. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE SKY SLIDER ROOF TOP MALFUNCTIONED AND ERRONEOUSLY CRACKED OPEN. IT WAS LATER DISCOVERED THAT THE TOP COULD NOT BE CLOSED PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DAYTONA DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP(1450 N. TOMOKA FARMS RD, DAYTONA BEACH, FL) WHO INDICATED THAT THE REPAIRS FOR THE SKY SLIDER ROOF TOP WERE NO LONGER AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED TWO YEARS PREVIOUSLY FOR THE SAME FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE SUN ROOF WAS UNSECURED AND A RATTLING NOISE WAS PRESENT. WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN, WATER LEAKED INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE FROM THE UNSECURED SUN ROOF. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. *TT*JB

THE SKYSLIDER FEATURE ON THE 2008-2012 JEEP LIBERTYS ARE A MONUMENTAL SAFETY HAZARD. I PURCHASED MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY ON MARCH 15TH 2017. WITHIN 2 WEEKS AFTER BUYING THE SKYSLIDERS PINS BROKE AND THE SKYSLIDER FLEW BACK COVERING MY BACK WINDOW. IF I HAD NOT PULLED OVER THE SLIDER COULD HAVE COMPLETELY DETACHED AND CAUSED A MAJOR MULTI-VEHICLE COLLISION. I DISCOVERED THAT THE PINS WEAR EASILY BROKEN BECAUSE THEY ARE MADE OF PLASTIC. I AM APPALLED THAT THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A RECALL AND THE MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO CORRECT THIS, ESPECIALLY AFTER READING COUNTLESS FORUMS OF THOSE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE.

Mileage: 97,000

THE SKYSLIDER ROOF ON MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY IS BROKEN AND HAS BEEN FOR YEARS. I HAD IT FIXED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY, BUT IT BROKE SEVERAL MONTHS LATER AFTER MY WARRANTY EXPIRED. NOW I HAVE BEEN QUOTED $4000.00 TO REPAIR IT AGAIN. IT CAME OFF THE TRACKS WHILE DRIVING AND STARTED FLAPPING IN THE AIR. WATER LEAKS IN THE CAR EVEN WHEN THE ROOF WORKED. THE ROOF COMES OFF THE TRACKS AND THEN BREAKS THE CABLE THAT RUNS IT. YOU CAN BE STATIONARY OR MOVING. THE SECOND ISSUE IS THE WHEEL SPEED SENSORS GO OUT FREQUENTLY, AND DISABLES YOUR 4 WHEEL DRIVE. SO, IF A SENSOR GOES OUT WHILE YOU ARE OFF ROADING, YOU ARE STUCK..... THATS REALLY NOT COOL IF YOU ARE IN A SECLUDED PLACE WITH NO ONE AROUND TO HELP AND ZERO CELL SERVICE. JUST SOME REALLY DUMB ENGINEERING, AND TOTALLY UNSAFE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE SOFT TOP DETACHED FROM THE PILLARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (KINDLE AUTO PLAZA, 525 STONE HARBOR BLVD, CAPE MAY, NEW JERSEY 08210) WHERE THEY DETERMINED THAT THE SOFT TOP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE SOFT TOP ROOF WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED AT THE DEALER (PELLEGRINO CHRYSLER JEEP, 241 GLASSBORO ROAD, WOODBURY HEIGHTS, NEW JERSEY 08097). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND COMPLAINT NUMBER: 34715617 WAS FILED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 127,000. *TT *TR

Mileage: 127,000

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY SKY SLIDER FOLDED BACK OFF THE TRACK MAKING A HORRIFIC SOUND. THE POWER BUTTON USED TO OPEN AND CLOSE THE SKY SLIDER DOES NOT WORK. IT JUST MAKES A GRINDING NOISE. WE HAD TO MANUALLY PUSH THE SKY SLIDER DOWN. THERE IS ALSO A LEAKING ISSUE WHEN THERE IS RAIN. WATER POURS INTO THE VEHICLE FROM AROUND THE FRONT INTERIOR LIGHTS ON THE ROOF BETWEEN THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT. THERE IS ALSO WATER MARKS FROM THE SKY SLIDER LEAKING. I ALSO HAVE A SENSOR THAT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY. THE SENSOR IS FOR LOW TIRE PRESSURE.

OUR 2008 JEEP LIBERTY HAS A DEFECTIVE SKY SLIDER ROOF. DESPITE BEING PROPERLY MAINTAINED, IT HAS JUMPED THE TRACKS AND HAD TO BE FORCED CLOSED. WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY IF IT DOES NOT REMAIN CLOSED WHILE DRIVING. WE HAVE CONTACTED JEEP WHO REFUSES TO HELP. AFTER READING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE, WE ARE QUESTIONING WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL AS THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND CAN LEAVE OWNERS UNABLE TO USE THEIR VEHICLES.

SKY SLIDER ROOF POURS WATER INTO DASH AND STEERING COMPONENT. POWER STEERING HAS BE DISABLED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE. WHEN WATER POURS IN IT SATURATES BOTH DRIVER AND DASHBOARD AREA RUNNING DOWN STEERING COLUMN INTO THE COMPONENTS. IN ADDITION, THE LIFT OF THE ROOF CAUSES VEHICLE TO SWERVE WHEN DRIVING ON INTERSTATE. NOISE CREATED BY THIS DEFECT PREVENTS DRIVER FROM HEARING EMERGENCY VEHICLES.

THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON ONLINE FORUMS ON THE JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED EDITION WITH THE SKY SLIDER. BASICALLY, THERE ARE REPORTS ON THE SKY SLIDER COMING OFF THE TRACK AND FLYING OFF OF THE VEHICLE. MY SKY SLIDER PERSONALLY WILL NOT CLOSE BECAUSE OF A "SYSTEM FAULT" JEEP TELLS ME AND ONLY SOME JEEP DEALERSHIPS HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE ON HOW TO FIX A SKY SLIDER. THEY WANT TO CHARGE $3K TO FIX THE ROOF, BUT THEY ARE ACKNOWLEDGING THAT IT IS A CONSISTENT ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE, THAT THE SKY SLIDER WILL NOT CLOSE ALL THE WAY, WHICH RESULTS IN IT COMING OFF AT HIGH SPEEDS.

Mileage: 125,000

THIS IS OUR SECOND PROBLEM SINCE 2010 WHEN WE PURCHASED VEHICLE THAT THE SLIDER SUNROOF HAS COME OFF IT'S TRACKS. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS ABOUT A MONTH AFTER WE PURCHASED IT AND COST 1400.00 TO FIX NOW FOR NO REASON IT JUST POPPED OFF AND BOWS AND TRACK BROKE. RAINED IN HER CAR AND SHORTED OUT ELECTRICAL. THIS IS A PIECE OF CRAP AND WHEN I LOOK AT ALL THE COMPLAINTS IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING THEY ARE LIABLE FOR FIXING BECAUSE NOW ITS GOING TO COST 3500 AND JEEP DEALERS ARE TELLING US THEY DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH IT BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FROM THE BEGINNING. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS THAT JEEP PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR FAULTY PRODUCTS AND THE NHTSA IS NOT MAKING THEM. THEY HAVE QUIT MAKING THIS FOR A REASON. BECAUSE IT WAS FAULTY AND NOT SOMETHING THAT WOULD WORK. NOW VEHICLE OWNERS ARE STUCK WITH NO OPTIONS. PLEASE CONSIDER HELPING US! MY DAUGHTER IS IN NURSING SCHOOL AND I'M A SINGLE MOTHER. WHAT ARE OUR OPTIONS. JEEP DEALERSHIPS DON'T WANT THESE CARS BACK!

TWO CLAIMS FILED PER THIS COMPLAINT. 1) SKY SLIDER LEAK; FAILURE - OVERHAUL/REPLACEMENT REQUIRED DUE TO TRACK/CABLE FAILURE. WAS LEAKING INTO VEHICLE, AS WELL AS LEAKING INTO DOME LIGHT. INSPECTED PER JEEP AUTHORIZED DEALER, CONFIRMED SKY SLIDER NO LONGER PROPERLY SEALING AND HAS FAILED, REQUIRING TOTAL SYSTEM OVERHAUL AND REPLACEMENT. REFERENCING VARIOUS NHTSA DOCUMENTED CLAIMS, IT ALREADY A KNOWN ISSUE AND IN NEED OF RESOLUTION.. I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING ALL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH REPAIR, WHICH WAS OVER $4000.00 TOTAL. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE HAS SUFFERED A SUBSTANTIAL DROP IN OVERALL RESALE VALUE DUE TO VEHICLES REPUTATION FOR HAVING COSTLY DEFECTS AND OVERLOOKED FOR RECALL AND WARRANTY. DEALER PERFORMED REPAIR AT MY EXPENSE, BUT I AM CURRENTLY REQUESTING THAT THIS CLAIM IS PROPERLY REVIEWED FOR A PROPER, MORE COST-EFFECTIVE SOLUTION TO DEFECTIVE UNIT. 2) VEHICLE SUFFERS FROM TEMPORARY ROUGH IDLE AND SIGNIFICANT DROPS IN RPM'S, NEARLY STALLING ITSELF OUT. ALSO BEGINS SUFFERING FROM INTERMITTENT LOSS OF VEHICLE AND DEVICE RELATED FUNCTIONS SUCH AS LOSS OF HORN FUNCTION, INTERMITTENT OR PARTIAL LIGHTS FUNCTION OR WINDOW OPERATION. ON 2 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHILE OPERATING UNDER THE ERRATIC CONDITIONS, THE REAR WINDOW HATCH UNLOCKED ITSELF AS THOUGH THE BUTTON WAS HIT ON MFR. KEY FOB. THESE ISSUE OCCURS RANDOMLY AND TYPICALLY LAST NO MORE THAN 5 MINUTES BEFORE NORMAL OPERATION RETURNS. DUE TO LACK OF INFORMATION ON THE CAUSE OF THIS ISSUE, WHAT COMPONENTS ARE EFFECTED AND WHAT THE SPECIFIC DEFECT IS CAPABLE OF PERFORMING, IT IS SOMETHING NEEDING TO BE LOOKED INTO FOR PROPER RESOLUTION.

WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FROM A LOCAL USED DEALER, I NEVER ANTICIPATED THE PROBLEMS I WOULD BE FACED WITH. I HAVE ALWAYS DREAMED OF OWNING A JEEP AND NOW, I'M READY TO TAKE IT TO THE DUMP. I PURCHASED THIS KEEP ON THE ABOVE DATE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SKY SLIDER DOES NOT WORK. THE DEALER CREATED A CONTRACT THAT THEY WOULD HAVE IT FIXED. 2 MONTHS LATER, THEY FINALLY FIND SOMEONE IN THE AREA WHO KNOWS HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. WE TAKE IT IN, AND FIND THAT THE WHOLE ROOF HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP FINALLY AGREED TO PAY FOR IT AFTER A MONTH OF ME BEING OUT A VEHICLE. THIS REPAIR COST THE DEALERSHIP AN UPWARDS OF $4,500.00 AND I AM STILL EXPERIENCING WIND NOISE. IF I DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY AND A SEMI GOES BY, THE SKY SLIDER LIFTS UP AS IF IT'S GOING TO FLY OFF. I WILL NEVER OPEN THE SKY SLIDER FOR FEAR THAT IT WILL NEED TO BE FIXED AGAIN (OR GET STUCK OPEN). I HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE PRESENTING THIS SAME ISSUE ON FORUMS WITH NOTHING BEING SOLVED. PLEASE, IT'S TIME CHRYSLER OWNS UP TO THIS FAULTY DESIGN AND HELPS PEOPLE OUT! I AM SO SCARED THAT THIS ROOF IS GOING TO FLY OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. NO ONE SHOULD EVER HAVE TO FEEL AFRAID TO DRIVE A CAR THEY PAY FOR! *TR

WHEN I TRIED TO OPEN THE SLIDING SKY ROOF THE STICKY (TAPE) PART BECAME UNSTUCK FROM THE SLIDING SKY ROOF AND STUCK TO THE CAR'S FRAME THAT CAUSED THE SLIDING SKY ROOF TO BREAK OFF THE TRACK PREVENTING IT FROM OPENING AND/OR CLOSING. IF DRIVEN NOW IT WILL BLOW OFF AND BE HAZARDOUS. *TR

DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME I HAVE TO HAVE A WHOLE NEW SYSTEM...TRACKS AND ALL! THIS IS CRAZY!!! I CALLED JEEP FOR SOME HELP WITH THIS ISSUE AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO, OH YES THERE IS SOMETHING THEY CAN DO....RECALL THIS SKY SLIDER!!! I AM GOING TO CONTINUE TO CALL THEM ON A DAILY BASIS AND KEEP ASKING FOR SOMEONE WITH MORE AUTHORITY UNTIL I GET MY WAY ON THIS AND MAKE THEM RECALL IT SO THAT WE CAN ALL GET OUR MONEY BACK ON THIS DEFECTIVE PRODUCT!!

THE SKYLINER ROOF ON OUR 2008 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED 4X4 IS VERY NOISY AT DRIVING SPEEDS OR ON WINDY DAYS AND AS MANY OTHER OWNERS WITH THIS OPTION HAVE STATED THE ROOF DOES NOT CLOSE ALL THE WAY, I HAVE TO MANUALLY LOCK IT BACK INTO THE CLOSED POSITION. IT DOESN'T OPEN PROPERLY EITHER THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE WITH THE TRACK AND CABLE SYSTEM. IT COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF IT BLEW OPEN WHILE DRIVING. WITH THIS BEING SUCH A PERSISTENT PROBLEM WITH THIS OPTION THERE REALLY SHOULD BE A RECALL. MAYBE HEAVIER DUTY COMPONENTS AND CABLE COULD BE A SUFFICIENT FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. *TR

THE 2008 JEEP AND YEARS AFTER ALL HAVE A DEFECTIVE SKYSLIDER(AS FAR AS I KNOW EVERY SINGLE PERSON I SPOKE WITH THAT HAS A SKY SLIDER HAD SOME MALFUNCTION) WHICH SEEMS TO BE A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. THIS PANORAMIC ROOF CONSTANTLY MALFUNCTIONS, THE REPLACEMENT PARTS COST ALMOST A 1/4 OF THE VEHICLE COST AND WHEN IT BREAKS IT USUALLY IS NOT FIXED PROPERLY. THE CONCERN IS, IT CAN COME FLYING OFF AT HIGH SPEEDS CAUSING POSSIBLE INJURY, ALSO MAKES VEHICLE UN-SECURE DUE TO BEING ACCESSIBLY BY THE ROOF, ALSO CAUSES RAIN, AND OTHER CONTAMINANTS TO ENTER THE CABIN AREA. I UNDERSTAND THAT CHRYSLER IS UNDER GOVERNMENT PROTECTION DUE TO IT FINANCIAL SITUATION BUT THERE IS NO REASON THEY CAN NOT RECALL, REPAIR, OR HAVE A ENGINEERED REPLACEMENT FOR THIS DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS AND ISSUES IT HAS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH MY 9 YEAR OLD GRANDSON IN THE JEEP. IT IS ALWAYS SOUNDS VERY WINDY IN THE TRUCK WHEN DRIVING. I WAS GOING ABOUT 25 MILES AN HOUR AND THE FRONT OF THE TOP FLEW BACK. IT SCARED THE HECK OUT OF US. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND WHEN I TRIED TO SHUT THE SKY RIDER/RETRACTABLE TOP IT WOULD NOT GO. SO I PULLED IT FRONTWARDS WITH MY HANDS AND DROVE VERY SLOW TO MY DAUGHTERS. MY SON IN LAW AND MY DAUGHTER WERE LOOKING AT IT AND WE COULD NOT GET IT TO WORK. SO WE PUT A BUGGY CORD AROUND IT TO HOLD IT DOWN UNTIL I COULD HAVE TO A PLACE THAT COULD FIX IT.. I WENT TO SEE HIM AT 8 AM THE NEXT MORNING AND HE SAID HE HAS 2 OF THEM IN HIS SHOP RIGHT NOW AND HE ALSO SAID HE HAS MANY OF THEM IN HIS SHOP EVERY WEEK WITH THE SAME PROBLEM HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT. CHRYSLER KNOWS THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THESE JEEPS THAT HAVE THE RETRACTABLE TOPS/ SKY RIDER . I ALSO WENT ON LINE AND THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS IN REGARDS TO THESE TOPS DOING THE SAME THING. I WAS TOLD THAT IT COST $2,100.00 DOLLARS TO FIX. THEY NEED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE RACK.I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WOULD USE PLASTIC PARTS FOR SUCH A IMPORTANT THING ON YOUR CAR IS A ROOF. HE TOLD ME TO CALL CHRYSLER.. WELL I CALLED AND SPOKE TO A SUPERVISOR MACK KELLY AT MASSEY YARDLEY HE SAID THE WARRANTY IS UP. WE WENT BACK AND FOURTH ABOUT THE TOP AND I SAID TO HIM, BUT YOU KNOW THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM SO WHY WOULD YOU NOT FIX IT? HE SAID, "YUP IT IS A BIG PROBLEM "BUT THE WARRANTY IS UP. I ASKED TO SPEAK WITH SOMEONE HIRE UP AND HE SAID THERE IS NO ONE ELSE HIRE THEN HIM. I ALSO WENT ON LINE AND SAW A BULLETIN RECALL AND IT STATES THAT THEY KNOW THIS IS A PROBLEM WHEN THEY MADE THIS VEHICLE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT THEY KNOW IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE ?? WE ARE VERY LUCKY NO ONE GOT HURT OR KILLED. THEY SHOULD FIX THE SKY RIDER/RETRACTABLE TOP BEING THEY KNOW IT IS A SAFETY PROBLEM!!! *TR

I OWN A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY THAT HAS A SKY SLIDER. I HAD OPENED THE SLIDER APPROXIMATELY FOUR TIMES (NOT EXAGGERATING) AND ON THE FOURTH TIME, WHEN TRYING TO SHUT IT BACK IT "BROKE". THE SLIDER WENT OFF TRACK AND I HAD TO MANUALLY CLOSE IT. THIS WAS ALL WHILE SITTING IN MY GARAGE! ONCE I TOOK OFF THE SLIDER WOULD WHIP IN THE WIND AND I WAS SO AFRAID IT WOULD RIP OFF I LITERALLY WAS GOING 40MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. I HAD IT FIXED FOR $2500. I HAVE NEVER OPENED IT AGAIN FOR FEAR THAT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. NOW GOING DOWN THE ROAD FROM 50MPH ON, I CAN'T EVEN HOLD A CONVERSATION IT IS SO NOISY. IF I GET BEHIND SEMI-TRUCKS THE SLIDER STARTS TO FLAP DUE TO THE FRONT OF IT STARTING TO "PEEL" BACK. I UNDERSTAND THEY HAVE QUIT MAKING THIS MODEL AND I UNDERSTAND WHY! I STRONGLY URGE A RECALL ON THIS AS MANY OF US ARE OUT OF MONEY FROM FIXING IT AND I CAN'T EVEN SELL IT. NO ONE WANTS IT BECAUSE OF THE SLIDER. NOW IM STUCK WITH A LOW CLASS VEHICLE WHILE PAYING HIGH CLASS MONTHLY PAYMENTS. I FEEL I HAVE BEEN SCAMMED! *TR

THE SKYSLIDER ROOF SYSTEM HAS FAILED. THE ROOF OPENED AS NORMAL BUT FAILED TO CLOSE WHEN BUTTON WAS CLOSED. ON INVESTIGATION OF THE ROOF TOP I FOUND THE SKY SLIDER ROOF HAD COME OFF THE TRACK.

THIS APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN DEFECT WITH THE ROOF SYSTEMS AS THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT WIND NOISE AND THE SKYSLIDER FAILING AND CHRYSLER JEEP IGNORING THE PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS UNABLE TO CLOSE THE ROOF AS IT APPEARED TO BE OFF ITS' TRACKS. I TOOK SURFACE ROADS HOME AS I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE ROOF'S STABILITY AT HIGH SPEEDS. ONCE HOME WE WERE ABLE TO CLOSE THE ROOF MOST OF THE WAY MANUALLY. I RESEACHED THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND MULTIPLE CASES OF THIS ROOF FAILING. IN SOME CASES THE ROOF ACTUALLY FLEW OFF AND CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. APPARENTLY CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN GIVE ME IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.

SKY SLIDER ROOF WHICH IS AN OPTION FOR THIS VEHICLE HAS BROKEN LOOSE FROM THE VEHICLE. THIS IS THE THIRD FAILURE OF THIS CONVERTIBLE TOP FEATURE. THE TOP SLIDES BACKWARD ELECTRICALLY ON METAL TRACKS AND IS PULLED BACKWARDS USING CABLES. THE FIRST FAILURE OF THE ROOF WAS IN 2010. AT THAT TIME THE ROOF WOULD NOT CLOSE LEAVING IT OPEN AND DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER MFG WARRANTY AND THE ENTIRE CABLE AND TRACK WAS REPLACED. THE SECOND IDENTICAL PROBLEM OCCURRED IN FEBRUARY 2011 RESULTING IN REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT OF CABLES AND TRACK. MOST RECENTLY, THE CABLES HAVE AGAIN BROKEN LEAVING THE TOP UNABLE TO CLOSE, ONLY THIS TIME, THE COMPONENTS HAVE BROKEN AND WHILE DRIVING THE TOP CAME LOOSE AND FLEW OPEN CAUSING MORE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPAIRED FOR THIS IDENTICAL ISSUE IS AWARE OF THE ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH THE SKY SLIDER. CHRYSLER/JEEP HAS BEEN NOTIFIED AND A CASE HAS BEEN OPENED, HOWEVER, DESPITE THE PROBLEM BEING WELL-KNOWN THEY ARE NOT PROVIDING REPAIR. *TR

BOUGHT THE JEEP NEW FROM JEEP DEALER AND IT CAME WITH A FACTORY INSTALLED 'SKYSLIDER'. WE HARDLY EVER USE THE SKYSLIDER AND AFTER A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM, WE NOTICED WHEN DRIVING THE JEEP, THERE WAS A POPPING NOISE. THE SKYSLIDER HAD BUNCHED UP AND WAS NOT CLOSING. TOOK THE JEEP TO OUR MECHANIC WHO ADVISED THAT THERE WAS A 1" PIECE ON THE TRACK THAT WAS BROKEN AND THE PART WOULD COST APPROX. $1900.!!!. I CALLED CHRYSLER BECAUSE THE JEEP IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND THIS IS A CLEAR DEFECT. CHRYSLER ADVISE ME TO TAKE THE JEEP TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS...A BROKEN PIECE ON THE FRAME WHICH NEEDED TO HAVE THE WHOLE FRAME REPLACED AT A COST OF - $4K. FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS. THE SKYSLIDER IS DEFECTIVE ON ALL 2008 JEEP LIBERTY MODELS AND THIS COULD CAUSE A FATALITY. THE SKYSLIDER IS MADE OF CANVAS AND CAN POP OFF THE TRACK AND FLY OFF. I CROSS A BRIDE DAILY AND CANNOT DRIVE MORE THAN 20MPH OR THE ROOF STARTS TO LIFT UP. *TR

THE SUNROOF LEAKS INTO THE HEADLINER CAUSING MOLD AND ALSO AFFECTING THE ELECTRICAL WIRES IN THE HEADLINER.

THE SKY SLIDER ROOF ON MY JEEP LIBERTY STOPPED CLOSING PROPERLY SEVERAL WEEKS AGO. AT FIRST IT WAS JUST LEAKING AND SMALL PARTS OF THE ROOF WOULDN'T CLOSE. EVENTUALLY IT PROGRESSED TO THE ENTIRE SKY SLIDER AND NOW WILL NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY AT BOTH ENDS. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A FAULTY PRODUCT MADE BY JEEP AND SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY! *TR

2008 JEEP LIBERTY WAS BROUGHT INTO DEALERSHIP DUE TO MANUFACTURING WEAKNESS WITH THE SKY SLIDER. ONE PRESS OF THE CLOSE BUTTON AND THE WHOLE BACK PORTION OF THE SKY SLIDER MISALIGNED AND WOULD NOT CLOSE. THE SERVICE REP. STATED THAT THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY LINE WAS DEFAULTED AND WOULD BE VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX. MEANWHILE, DUE TO THIS MANUFACTURING WEAKNESS, MY JEEP WAS NOT DRIVABLE DUE TO THE SKY SLIDER SLIDING FORWARD AND BACKWARD SUDDENLY AND LOUDLY EVERY TIME THE JEEP WAS DRIVEN OVER 35MPH. THE PROCESS IN GETTING THE JEEP REPAIRED HAS TAKEN OVER 3 WEEKS AND THE REPAIRS ARE STILL NOT COMPLETED AT THE TIME THIS COMPLIANT WAS SUBMITTED. THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION IS ASSISTING WITH THE REPAIRS, HOWEVER AT THIS TIME THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PRODUCT. *TR

2008 JEEP LIBERTY. CONSUMER STATES SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED EACH TIME HE FILLED THE GAS TANK, GASOLINE SPILLED OUT OF THE FILL OPENING MOMENTS AFTER THE NOZZLE SHUT OFF WAS TRIGGERED.

THEY HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS SUN ROOF.
