I was traveling 70 mph on the freeway when I very slightly let off the accelerator as I came over a bridge. At that point, part of the Jeep wanted to go straight and the other part wanted to go off the road. It truly felt like the Jeep was going to roll. I slowed down and managed to keep it going straight until I could safely pull off the freeway. Had it towed to my dealer who informed me that the left rear lateral arm connecting axle to the frame rusted through and became disconnected. They also said that the right lateral arm is close to rusting though as well. Although the lateral arms were on backorder from Chrysler, the dealer managed to find one from another dealer and replaced the left arm. We agreed to order the right lateral arm and replace it before it too becomes disconnected.

At approximately 0520 a. M. On January 23, 2012 I was traveling north on west virginia route 26 just outside of kingwood, west virginia on my way to work. I was descending a hill around several sharp turns at a rate of speed approximately 30 mph on dry bumpy pavement. Without warning I felt a vibration which seemed to originate in the rear of my 2005 Jeep Liberty. Several seconds later a hard thump was felt underneath the floor boards accompanied by a metal scraping noise. I immediately began applying the brakes to stop the car to investigate but before I could bring the vehicle to a complete halt the rear of the car began to come around toward the front of the SUV from the right. Once I got the car completely stopped I put it into park, applied my emergency brake, turned on my hazard lights and then got out to investigate the situation. As I examined the back of the vehicle I noticed that the right rear wheel was out of alignment almost touching the back of the wheel well. I then shined my flashlight underneath of the car and saw the front end of the drive shaft lying on the street. I coasted my car into a nearby driveway to get it off of the street. I had my vehicle towed to the nearest Jeep dealership for repair. Diagnosis: right hand rear control arm failure due to excessive erosion/rusting. I had the failed part replaced and as a precaution I had the left hand control arm replaced as well. Both old parts are available for inspection. I purchased my Jeep new in wisconsin in 2005 and I moved to west virginia in 2010.

Bought the Jeep new from Jeep dealer and it came with a factory installed 'skyslider'. We hardly ever use the skyslider and after a severe thunderstorm, we noticed when driving the Jeep, there was a popping noise. The skyslider had bunched up and was not closing. Took the Jeep to our mechanic who advised that there was a 1" piece on the track that was broken and the part would cost approx. $1900. !!!. I called Chrysler because the Jeep is only 4 years old and this is a clear defect. Chrysler advise me to take the Jeep to a Jeep dealership for diagnosis. . . A broken piece on the frame which needed to have the whole frame replaced at a cost of - $4k. Four thousand dollars. The skyslider is defective on all 2008 Jeep Liberty models and this could cause a fatality. The skyslider is made of canvas and can pop off the track and fly off. I cross a bride daily and cannot drive more than 20mph or the roof starts to lift up.
