A year later, hot water began pouring onto the consumer's feet while driving. The dealer informed her, the channels were clogged. There was also a problem with a latch holding a speaker in the hatch. Somehow, the latch snapped in half and every time, the consumer opened the hatch, it would come down extremely fast. The latch wasn't accessible unless the speaker was down. On one occasion, her son was being held by someone and when the hatch was lifted, the speaker came flying down into the child's face, which resulted in a bleeding gash on his forehead.

2 Hatchback/liftgate problem of the 2002 Jeep Liberty

Failure Date: 12/02/2008

I have a 2002 Jeep Liberty. There are two cylinders under the hood that are supposed to keep the hood open after it is raised. Mine no longer do that. This could present a serious problem as the hood could slam down unto anyone that might be looking under the hood. I luckily avoided getting injured this morning as I was looking under the hood, turned around for a second, and the hood slammed shut, narrowly missing me. There is a similar situation with the back window. Although not as serious, the cylinders on the window are failing as well.
