Body problems of the 2008 Jeep Liberty - part 2

The sky slider roof on my 2008 Jeep Liberty began to open due to the wind flow at highway speed. I pulled off of the highway to attempt to close the roof. 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. I am very concerned about this roof's stability, especially at highway speeds.

I own a 2008 Jeep Liberty that has a sky slider. I had opened the slidder 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 noisey. 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 vehcile while paying high class monthly payments. I feel I have been scamed!.

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.

Upon opening skyslider passanger side of top did not open, when finally starting to open got stuc at first frame. Would not close properly. This needs to be recalled. Consumer should not have this many problems.

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.

While driving on expressway at approx speed of 55mph sunroof opened on its own and would not close. Vehicle 10 months out of warranty, dealer estimated $2700 damage to actual panels and motor. Manufacturer wouldn't assist with cost of repair!!!.
