Sept. 8, 2012 I took my Jeep to the dealership I purchased it from, and have had all maintenance work completed by, for routine factory maintenance and an oil change. I told them I was leaving for an extended road trip and requested they look everything over to see if there might be any safety issues. On sept. 17, 2012 while traveling on the interstate, I accelerated and the accelerator pedal stuck. I do not have cruise control and it was not related to the floor mats. This happened several times while on the road trip. I returned home sept. 19, 2012 and for the next 2 weeks the accelerator stuck intermittently, with no common underlying cause. Oct. 2, 2012, while backing into a parking space the accelerator stuck at a high rpm and I nearly crashed. I contacted the same dealership, who originally wanted to look at the vehicle almost a week later even after I explained how serious the issue was. I managed to talk them into looking at the Jeep on oct 3, 2012 and they were able to duplicate the accelerator sticking on their first try. They contacted me later in the day to tell me it would be $385 to fix and was not covered under my extended manufacturer warranty. I contacted the warranty administrators who also said it was not covered as the accelerator is considered "an accessory". I tried to get some assistance through Chrysler customer care assistance to no avail. Now the issue has become serious enough that I'm afraid to drive the vehicle. In other words, it is worse now than before. I'd like to receive some assistance with this issue and/or find out what truly constitutes a vehicle accessory, as the accelerator pedal seems to be an integral part of the vehicle's operation, not an "accessory" like a stereo or luggage rack. Help?.
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.
Thanks for this opertunity;; experienced exactly the identical rainwater flooding problem , from the right hinge above the hatchback of my 2008 Liberty, first saturating the cargo area, then moving forward saturating the front cabin floor! dealer wont fix!! ! removed seats and carpet, threw away padding,, replaced padding cleaned carpet, removing back hatch, and putting gaskets under hinges! good thing im handy and ex-navy!! please take all kuddos away from Jeep inc!! p. S. Someone tried to silacone around that right cargo hatch hinge then use touch-up paint on it;; I think it was the dealer;; but they deny it!! but the Jeep was a lease before I bought it!! so no one else was supposed to touch the car;; right?? I would not have known ,, if I hadnt read another post describing the very same problem!! I owe them!! thanks!!.
I owned this veicle for 2 1/2 years, my Jeep liverty has a sunroof that completly opens up the roof and all the sudden on Tuesday September 27,2011 arond 5:45 I was driving and try to open the sunroof a little and it open all crooked and with the wind it was lifting up from one side I had to pull over and hold it with one hand and driving with my other hand I had to drive back home called the dealer witch was closed at the time the next day I called the towing truck to take it to the dealer closer to my house and they send us 35 min. Away from there because we had to take it were we bought the veicle and not covered by the warranty. It's been 11 days already and I still dont have my veicle back. I haven't seen that manny veicles with the sunroof like mine and I'm really wondering if this has happen to someone else.
