Sky slider roof broken, will not open nor close. I have to put a tarp over my Jeep to keep the rain out. Cannot be repaired due to no parts available. The possibility for this roof to fly off while driving at high speeds is real. Chrysler/Jeep needs to remedy this problem.

My door locks only work occasionally. This causes a safety concern when driving through a bad neighborhood and a security concern when the back hatch won't lock. This is a well known and documented problem with this vehicle.

My window on the drivers side started to act up and the next day all controls to every window quit working and now its very cold out side. Plus the heat for the floor quit working also.
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.

The sky slider is known to leak, stop working, and is known to detach from vehicles while traveling. Currently with mine it has stopped working, it leaks bad, and the parts that keep it secured have broken off causing wind to rush inside from both sides in the front.
Vehicle's front facing vents do not open at all! do not open with the heat on or the a. C, possible the deflector shield behind the dash is malfunctioning. Huge costly repair!.
2008 Jeep Liberty. . . . The sunroof slider has almost flown off while driving at 40mph twice on city streets, it ripped off my stereo antenna and luckily it didnt fly off . . . I've read about other 2008 Jeep Liberty owners having this same problem. Chrysler is doing nothing about it!!!! I guess it's safe to assume that when the sunroof does fly off, kills somebody or maybe several people, maybe, Chrysler will do something about this. What's this world coming too?.
I've to replace the rear tail light assembly 4 times, it keeps blowing out the brake and tail light. I've also had to purchase 5 a/c compessors for this truck and the abs, traction light stays on.

The sky glider has broken and peeled completely back while driving on the interstate caused accident and every make and model in this year and a couple years newer to older he's had the same issue. Chrysler Jeep no longer makes the part to fix the sky glider there for owners of this vehicle or just out of luck and have no way to fix or replace this part now the car floods when it rains because it does not seal completely. Because of this it's causing other electrical damage to the vehicle as well of other issues. This is very dangerous to drivers owning this vehicle.
My lights are turning on dash. It grabs real bad and acts like it going to die in traffic. Dangerous. My 4 wheel drive will not work.
For the 4th time now my Jeep drivers seat had a sharp metal device poke thru the seat and injury my leg, this is a serious defect. I have taken this back now 4 times for new seats, motors, etc. Yet after a time it continues break and injury the driver. Seat motor will move on its own. Chrysler/Jeep has been aware of this issue causing injury and defective seats for several years as this is now the 4 time on the same issue, yesterday the dealership said " when will Jeep figure it out the seats are defective".
2002 Jeep Liberty. . . Feels like and sounds like the whole front end is falling apart. . And then I went to the post office and as I turned in the parking lot the Jeep made the worst noise. . People started looking. . It was really bad when I hit a bump or turned the steering wheel. . My mechanic checked it out and said the ball joints had to be changed. . And I think something is wrong with the steering . . . . I know there has been a recall on ball joints and something to do with the steering. Also my brother n law found a part laying loose in down in the motor. . I am a senior citizen and I still work. . And I need my Jeep checked. . I am scared to drive it. . . Pls let me know what to do. . . Thanks. .

The sky slider roof will not close, leaving the top open and contributing to water damage and electrical problems.
Code p0765 underdrive solenoid cir transmission issue. P0700 and p0755. Check engine light is currently on too.
The sky slider has a major leaking issue and very high wind sounds when driving. The slider does not currently operate and between this year and last year I've gotten 3 details just to clean the water damage and it just keeps happening. When looking up reviews so many people are/had the same issue with the slider. This is not fair to customers.
Ignition key interlock. Cant take key out of ignition due to gear shift interlock. Have to leave key in ignition risking vehicle getting stolen.
Customer was driving down the highway when the cable that holds the spare tire snapped and caused the spare tire to fly down the highway, endangering the lives of other drivers.

The alternator on the vehicle went which affected the battery and the computer system, car nearly caught on fire. The repair person said this should have been listed as a recall because a certain fuse could have avoided the problem. The computer is on back order, going on 3 weeks and this appears to be a ongoing problem with these vehicles.

As I am accelerating from a stop my entire vehicle will completely lock up out of nowhere and will no longer move. I can still shift all the gears, however my Jeep will not budge in drive or reverse when pressing on the gas pedal. This has left me stranded in the middle of both lanes of traffic on multiple occasions. This is a huge safety concern, as I have had other vehicles almost crash into me. The only way I can describe it, is like having the emergency brake come on while your driving. The vehicle locks up and the tires skid until you come to a complete stop. It's very scary!.
I drove for about an hour on a steep mountain road. Sometimes using the overdrive to go up steep grades. The cruise control would not work. I made it to town and was on the main road stopped in traffic. Suddenly, the rpms raced and the Jeep accelerated on its own. I had my foot on the brake, but had to put it in park to stop it, but not before it hit then truck in front of me. I was shaken up and checked the floor mat to make sure it was not touching the gas pedal. It was not.
The sky slider panoramic roof has some broken internal parts and won't fully close causing leaking water and loud wind noise. Roanoke Jeep dealer says they can't get replacement parts and there is no way to fix. I have visited 4 other shops and the only solution offered is to remove the panoramic roof and replace with full metal roof with a cost of $5000. I can't believe there are no replacement parts for a 10 year old vehicle and I'm stuck with a vehicle that is going to leak every time it rains.
All but one of my windows will roll up or down because of the window regulator. There are recalls on other years but not 2004 due to many compliments. They should have a recall on this and fix the issue. Thank you.
As the driver was making a left turn into the closest left turning lane and accelerated at approximately 15mph, the vehicle fishtailed and swerved as the driver attempted to brake. There were several attempts to correct the turn however the vehicle was unresponsive and continued to swerve. The driver had no control of the rear end of the vehicle, almost as if something had come undone. There was a collision with a tree and a street sign due to great amounts of swerving that resulted in the car running off the side of the road.
Key gets stuck in ignition. Forcing customers to pay $1,000 for a mistake made by Chrysler. The vehicle was in a parked position and key wont pull to last click. There is a temp fix to this but requires you to pull out plastic from gearshift to push down cable. Jiggling and doing everything you can to remove it will not fix the issue. Chrysler made faulty parts and was told by the dealer they are new parts available in arch 22nd for a permanent solution.
Ignition switch not turning when attempting to crank vehicle. I had recently drove my vehicle. Prior to the incident my ignition switch made a louder noise when I attempted to turn over the vehicle. Now it's not working at all.

Heating issue. I know I am not the only Jeep owner that has had this problem. . . It seems to be very common with no real "fix". The heat will stop working on the drivers side but continue to work on the passengers side. I have changed the actuator doors and flushed the heater core as per mechanics specifications and not even a year later we are back to the heater core again with the same issue. Another Jeep with the same issue at the mechanics said he has the same problem and the dealer did all the above and he still has issues. Very expensive problems to constantly be having with a Jeep only to not solve the issue.
Something with the starter and something with the back latch can't lock vechicle up do to the alarm will go off.
Recall service incomplete no hitch installed on vehicle $100 promotion was denied.
Tl- the contact 2006 Jeep Liberty. The contact stated she unable to unlock her rear trunk. Upon investigation the contact associated NHTSA campaign number: 06v072000 (latches/locks/linkages) with failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired as of yet. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer has not been informed of failure. The failure mileage was 70,000. Dp.
The sky slider roof is malfunctioning and getting worse and worse. It is now leaking and I fear it might come off eventually. Chrysler Jeep no longer offers parts to repair and no one can fix the issue. It is unacceptable that the dealer would allow their product to go unsupported in this manner.
I have several different issues with my 08 Jeep Liberty. The locks randomly lock and unlock. When I use the lock button on the transmitter, it'll unlock the doors sometimes right after or at some point when parked. The headlights randomly come on and go off when parked. The traction control light comes on intermittently while driving. The traction control system also randomly activates on dry pavement and even throws the front end out of alignment because it will brake one wheel. I've almost had several accidents because of this engaging. Also, when the traction/stability control engages there's a noise from the brake system followed by smoke at whatever wheel it's trying to brake. I took it into dealer and they replaced my front brakes and rotors and that hasn't fixed the problem. Now they are saying I need a new draft shaft, tie rods and a couple other front end pieces. I don't believe that's where the problems are coming from. It's a scary situation driving this because I don't know if I'm going to make it where I'm going because the steering can lose control because of the traction system. Also, it's developed a major leak in the hatch area by the top plastic pieces where it rains and the back floor looks like a swimming pool after it rains. I told the dealer but they have yet to tell me if they found out why it's leaking. I also replaced the blower fan and relay for the ac thinking that it will fix an issue where the air in the vents are barely blowing. No fix. Ac is weak. The heat works best when in motion. Heat will heat up while driving and I feel like I'm being boiled alive. Have to keep on high to get any air out of the vents, however. The transmission is clunky shifting and the fluid has been changed. Power steering is difficult to turn.
Currently my 2011 Jeep Liberty (jet) is blowing cold air from the vents on the driver side. Blowing warm air through the vents on the passenger side. No heat at all coming out on the floor no matter what dial I turn it to, no heat while the car in sitting or in motion. This began a few years ago and it's gotten worst. I live in michigan and it's about to get cold.
