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.

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THIRD BRAKE LIGHT RUST, DUE TO POOR SEAL AND DESIGN. COST HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS IN REPAIRS, WHICH IS SILENT UNTIL THE LIGHT FALLS OUT AND DAMAGE IS BEYOND A SIMPLE REPAIR. I WAS ALERTED TO THIS BY THE AUTO BODY SHOP, THAT TOLD ME IT WAS COMMON IN JEEP LIBERTY, AND DID MY RESEARCH. WE ARE THE ONLY OWNERS, AND IT HAS GOOD SERVICE RECORDS. SPEND HALF OF IT'S TIME PARKED IN A GARAGE, WHY IS THIS A ISSUE. WHY ARE MANY JEEP OWNERS HAVING THIS ISSUE. JEEP IS BEING REPAIRED LIGHT FELL OUT, THEREFORE MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I WILL HAVE A BILL FOR REPAIR AT COMPLETION. MY HUSBAND WAS LEAVING OUR DRIVEWAY WHEN THE LIGHT WAS NOTICED HANGING, BEFORE IT COULD FALL OUT IN TRAFFIC.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE MY SON WAS DRIVING THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF. MID DRIVE, WHICH WAS VERY UNSAFE. IT STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD ROUNDING A CURVE. ATTEMPTED TO JUMP THE CAR WITH NO SUCCESS. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL GARAGE. THEY STATE IT AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT IT WILL BE PRETTY COSTLY. EXPLAINED IT TO ME AS THE MOTHERBOARD BASICALLY FOR THE CAR. AFTER READING UP SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE. I WOULD THINK JEEP WOULD FIX THIS COMMON AND COSTLY ISSUE. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER JEEP.

SUSPENSION, WHEELS
DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY I HAD LITTLE STEERING CONTROL AND IT FELT LIKE I BLEW A TIRE. PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, AND SAW THAT MY TIRE WAS BLOWN AND MY RIM WAS DAMAGED BECAUSE THE BALL JOINT SNAPPED AND THE CONTROL ARM WENT THROUGH THE RIM. THIS WAS ON THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE AND HAPPENEDED ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO. A SIMILAR THING HAPPENED TODAY BUT IT AFFECTED THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE.

WHAT OWNERS SHOULD DO DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FRONT LOWER BALL JOINTS FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2006. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.

TAKATA RECALL - MY VEHICLE IS 8 YEARS OLD. A LOT OF PROBLEMS HAVE STARTED TO HAPPEN TWO YEARS AGO WHICH I HAVE PAID OUT OF MY POCKET CONSIDERING IT AS AGE MAINTENANCE. TWO YEARS AGO I WAS NOT GOING TO PAY DEALER $800 COST TO FIX MY FRONT DOOR LOCKS THAT DON'T GO UP OR DOWN. I JUST DO IT THE OLD FASHION WAY. RECENTLY MY PASSENGER FRONT DOOR HAS ADDED THE PROBLEM OF THE WINDOW BUTTON NOT WORKING, WHICH IS A POSSIBLE LIFE SAFETY OF A PERSON WHO COULD BE FORCED TO ESCAPE THAT WAY. TAKATA RECALL - NOW!!! STARTING IN MID APRIL 2018 MY DASHBOARD DINGED SHOWING PICTURE OF WHAT LOOKS LIKE DRIVER AIRBAG CIRCLE AND DRIVER IN A SEATBELT. IT WENT AWAY A MINUTE LATER. IT THEN STARTED HAPPENING SPARATICALLY TWICE A WEEK MAYBE. IN MAY 2018, IT BECAME EVERY DRIVE OFF AND ON THE AIRBAG ICON SHOWED UP AND WOULD DING ABOUT FIVE TIMES DURING THE DAY DRIVE STAYING LIT AT 2 MINUTES MOST APPROXIMATELY. NOW JUNE 2018, IT HAS BECOME AN AUTOMATIC OF LIGHT DINGS ON AND THEN OFF SEVERAL TIMES DURING A DRIVE THAT COULD RANGE FROM 5MINUTES TO 20 MINUTES. I STARTED TO OBSERVE THAT IT HAPPENS WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL ONLY SLIGHTLY RIGHT, BUT NOW THE LAST WEEK IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED SLIGHTLY LEFT OR RIGHT. I AM NOW TRULY IN FEAR OF MY BAG EXPLODING WHILE I DRIVE AND/OR IT WILL NOT GO OFF TO HELP MY INJURY I'M INVOLVED IN CRASH. I HAVE READ THE HTSA SIGHT OF RECALL AND COMPLAINTS AND ANOTHER OWNER'S STORY IS A MATCH SIMILAR TO MINE....THEY ARE COMPLAINT NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10986169. I HAVE TO GO TO THE DEALER THIS WEEK FOR AN APPT FOR YET ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE AND HAVE TO ASK THEM TO LOOK AT THE AIRBAG ISSUE......I BELIEVE NO MATTER WHAT THE MANUFACTURERS SHOULD PAY FOR FIXING ANY AIRBAG PROBLEM A CUSTOMER COMES IN WITH!!! IT SHOULD NOT BE PUT AS A BURDEN ON THE OWNER AND A TRUE HARDSHIP TO ME BECAUSE I HAVE TO BORROW MONEY TO FIX POSSIBLY.

SKYSLIDER TOP -WELL MAINTAINED. CLOSED TOP WHILE PARKED IN DRIVEWAY AND TOP CAME OFF TRACK OR CABLE SNAPPED. FORCED CLOSED NOW BUT LIFTS WHEN DRIVING OVER 40MPH. THIS IS SECOND TIME HAPPENING. I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON THIS IS HAPPENING TO AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO OWN UP TO THEIR DESIGN FAILURE BEFORE TRYING TO "IMPROVE" IT AND ADD TO OTHER VEHICLES. THE SKYSLIDER TOP WAS THE MAIN SELLING FEATURE OF THE NEW JEEP LIBERTYS.

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE SKYSLIDER FABRIC ROOF LEAKS OFTEN. THERE ARE WATER STAINS ON THE UPHOLSTERY. IT DOES NOT SEEM TO FIT CORRECTLY ANY MORE. MECHANIC SAID IT WOULD BE A COSTLY REPAIR SO BASICALLY HE JUST TAPED IT IN PLACE WITH DUCT TAPE. I DID RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT OWNERS ARE HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS, INCLUDING HAVING THE ROOF GO FLYING OFF THE CAR WHEN IN MOTION.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY BRAKE LIGHTS CONTINUE TO HAVE ISSUES/NOT FUNCTION, RESULTING IN SAFETY ISSUES AND TICKETS. THIS TIME THE METAL CONNECTORS IN THE BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY HAVE MELTED PLASTIC AROUND THEM, SO IT DOES NOT CONNECT WITH THE SOCKET CONNECTORS AND THAT MEANS NO BRAKE LIGHTS. APPEARS, BASED ON THE VOLUME OF YOUTUBE REPAIR VIDEOS, THAT THIS IS A COMMON SAFETY ISSUE BUT WHEN I LOOKED AT RECALLS AND CONTACTED JEEP, IT IS NOT AN ITEM OF CONCERN. THE BRAKE LIGHTS DONT WORK, THAT SHOULD BE A CONCERN.

ENGINE
6/9/2018 AROUND 11:30 AM ENGINE - STARTS AND STALLS WITHOUT WARNING. WAS DRIVING AND SLOWED DOWN TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY AND ENGINE SHUT DOWN NO WARNING. IT STARTED BACK UP; HOWEVER, THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST RAN INTO THE BACK OF ME - CAR BEHIND ME STARTED BLOWING THE HORN CONTINUOUSLY; ALTHOUGH, FLASHER WAS TURNED ON IMMEDIATELY. IT OCCURRED 3 MORE TIMES WITHIN AN HOUR - 2 TIMES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE AND ONE TIME WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO SLOW DOWN AS TRAFFIC CAME TO A NEAR HALT. VERY SCARY SITUATION. ABOUT 5-6 MONTHS AGO THIS OCCUR ABOUT 5-6 TIMES IN HEAVY AFTERNOON TRAFFIC DUE TO AN ACCIDENT. THOUGHT IT WAS THE GAS; NOW I SEE IT IS OCCURRING AGAIN. HAS TO BE A BIGGER OR MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM. OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM JUST LOOK ONLINE. CAN NOT AFFORD TO ALLOW CAR TO IDLE TOO LONG. SAME VEHICLE WHERE ABS, ESP/BAS, TRACTION/ANTI-SKID LIGHTS REMAIN ON EVEN AFTER INSTALLING A NEW CLOCKSPRING AND ALL FOUR ABS SENSORS. DO NOT HAVE ANY PICTURES TO UPLOAD.
