BLEND DOOR FOR DEFROSTER JAMMED AT VENTS FOR A/C. ACTUATOR HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE. DOOR TO BLEND IS JAMMED DUE TO GLUE AND FOAM. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT JEEP IS AWARE OF. WINDOWS SUDDENLY FOG UP AND NO WAY TO CLEAR AS THE BLEND DOOR IS JAMMED. THE REPAIR IS ESTIMATED AT $500.

WINDSHEILD WIPER MOTOR/WASHER MOTOR DOESN'T WORK. THERE WAS A RECALL. BUT MY JEEP LIBERTY VIN NUMBER WASN'T INCLUDED. IT HASN'T WORKED FOR A LONG TIME. I THOUGHT IT WAS A LEAK IN THE HOSE. IT'S THE MOTOR, SO I WAS TOLD.
RECALLED 16229 JEEPS FOR FAULTY EQUIPMENT. FOR SOME REASON MY JEEP HAD SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT COVERED?? SAME BAD PARTS USED BUT NOT COVERED!!! SAME SAFETY ISSUE BUT NOT COVERED???
WHILE DRIVING ON X WAY AT 70 MPH HEARD NOISE AND SAW SECTION OF ROOF SLIDER LIFTING UP AND AIR GUSHING. SLOWED TO PULL OFF AND WHOLE PANEL LIFTED UP AND ALMOST BLEW OFF. STOPPED AND PANEL CRASHED DOWN WITH FRONT CORNER COMING INTO PASSENGER SIDE SEAT. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS IN THE SEAT! WE TAPED THE PANEL DOWN TO NURSE IT HOME ON SIDE STREET AT UNDER 40 MPH. DEALER SAID WOULD COST MORE THAN $1000 TO FIX, PROBABLY MORE AND REPAIR WOULD NOT BE GUARANTEED. WE CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX. WE NEVER USED THE SLIDER IN THE PAST. INQUIRIES ON INTERNET REVEAL MANY SIMILAR INCIDENTS BY OTHER OWNERS AND THEIR ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR WITH ESTIMATES OVER $3000. DEFINITELY A SERIOUS ISSUE. COULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF CAR IF NOT ALREADY STOPPING, PANEL COULD HAVE SEPARATED AND HIT OTHER CARS, PANEL COMING INTO CAR COULD HAVE INJURED DRIVER OR PASSENGER!

THE 2008 JEEP AND YEARS AFTER ALL HAVE A DEFECTIVE SKYSLIDER(AS FAR AS I KNOW EVERY SINGLE PERSON I SPOKE WITH THAT HAS A SKY SLIDER HAD SOME MALFUNCTION) WHICH SEEMS TO BE A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. THIS PANORAMIC ROOF CONSTANTLY MALFUNCTIONS, THE REPLACEMENT PARTS COST ALMOST A 1/4 OF THE VEHICLE COST AND WHEN IT BREAKS IT USUALLY IS NOT FIXED PROPERLY. THE CONCERN IS, IT CAN COME FLYING OFF AT HIGH SPEEDS CAUSING POSSIBLE INJURY, ALSO MAKES VEHICLE UN-SECURE DUE TO BEING ACCESSIBLY BY THE ROOF, ALSO CAUSES RAIN, AND OTHER CONTAMINANTS TO ENTER THE CABIN AREA. I UNDERSTAND THAT CHRYSLER IS UNDER GOVERNMENT PROTECTION DUE TO IT FINANCIAL SITUATION BUT THERE IS NO REASON THEY CAN NOT RECALL, REPAIR, OR HAVE A ENGINEERED REPLACEMENT FOR THIS DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS AND ISSUES IT HAS. *TR
