I'M SPEEDING UP AS I'M PASSING A TRUCK ON 395, SIGNALING WITH LEFT BLINKER. START SPEED AS BEGINNING TO PASS IS APPROX. 55 MPH. I SIGNAL RIGHT AS I PULL BACK IN THE SOUTH BOUND LANE, TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AS I NOTICE I'M DRIVING 80 MPH. THE GAS PEDAL IS STUCK AND THE CAR IS GOING 80 MPH ON ITS OWN. I STEP ON THE BRAKE CAREFULLY BUT ITS ROCK HARD AND DOESN'T MOVE AT ALL. AT THIS POINT THE CAR IS STUCK AT 80 MPH. I TRY TO BRAKE AGAIN BUT THE SAME - BRAKE PEDAL IS STUCK, DOESN'T MOVE AT ALL AND IS ROCK HARD. ROAD CONDITIONS ARE GOOD SO I'M IN A "CONTROLLED PANIC", AND TRY THE BRAKE ONE MORE TIME. THIS TIME THE BRAKES ENGAGE AND I GET THE CAR DOWN TO 65 MPH. I DON'T WANT TO BURN THE BRAKES SO I RELEASE THE BRAKE AND IMMEDIATELY THE CAR SPEEDS UP ON ITS OWN TO 80 MPH. I REPEAT. SLOW TO 65 MPH, STEP OFF THE BRAKE AND AGAIN THE CAR IMMEDIATELY SPEEDS UP TO 80 MPH. AT THIS POINT MY THOUGHTS GO TO CRUISE CONTROL (WHICH I HAD NOT ACTIVATED OR USED ON THIS TRIP). I PULL THE "CANCEL" ON THE CRUISE CONTROL, NOTHING. I TRY AGAIN AND LOOK AT THE DASHBOARD WHERE THE CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT IS "OFF", INDICATING CRUISE CONTROL IS NOT ON. I TURN THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AND PULL THE "CANCEL" AGAIN AND BRAKE. THIS TIME THE CAR COMES OUT OF IT, AND I TURN THE CRUISE CONTROL OFF AGAIN. SINCE THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT EVEN ON TO BEGIN WITH, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S WHAT ACTUALLY MADE THE CAR 'UNFREEZE'. I WAS LUCKY I WAS ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH OF ROAD WITH NO TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME. SINCE I WAS PASSING A TRUCK I'M NOT 100% SURE IF I SPED UP TO 80 MPH OR IF THE CAR SUDDENLY DID THAT ON ITS OWN. I DO BELIEVE THE CAR DID THAT, AS THERE WAS NO REASON TO GET UP TO THAT SPEED TO PASS SAFELY.

I HAVE A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY WITH A SKYSLIDER THAT RECENTLY BROKE. NO ONE CAN REPAIR OR FIND PARTS TO REPAIR THIS. AT HIGH SPEEDS THE TOP CAN LIFT OFF OF THE VEHICLE AND FLAP IN THE WIND. IT LEAKS WATER BECAUSE IT NO LONGER SEALS. IT POSES A DANGER TO MYSELF AND OTHERS WHEN IT CATCHES WIND BECOMES LOOSE AND LIFTS OFF OF THE JEEP. ITS A DISTRACTIONS BECAUSE IT DOESNT WORK CORRECTLY AND PERIOD FLAPPINGS CAUSE ME TO LOOK AWAY FROM THE ROAD. I AM CURRENTLY USE USING PIECES OF METAL TO JUST KEEP IN CLOSED. THE ONLINE COMMUNITY IS ASKING FOR A RECALL AND THINKS THIS POSES A DANGER TO OTHER DRIVERS.

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 WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE SKY SLIDER OPEN AND THE WIND SNAPPED THE ROOF OFF OF THE TRACKS CAUSING IT TO FLY BACK. I PUT A WIND DAMAGE CLAIM INTO USAA AND WAS DENIED AS THEY FEEL IT IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND THE ROOF WAS POORLY MADE UNABLE TO WITHSTAND NORMAL DRIVING SPEEDS. AFTER A NATIONWIDE SEARCH THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND REPLACEMENT PARTS AND THE VEHICLE IS ROOFLESS AND NOT ABLE TO BE DRIVEN.

JEEP LIBERTY SKY SLIDER LEAKS. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND JEEP HAS NOT RESOLVED. WATER RUNS INSIDE THE VEHICLE, HAS IMPACTED THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS IN THE ROOF TOP AND IS A HAZARD TO DRIVER AND PASSENGERS SINCE WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN DAY TO DAY. THIS WAS CLEARLY A POOR DESIGN CHOICE AND JEEP SHOULD REPAIR AND REPLACE EVERY SINGLE CLOTH ROOFTOP THAT HAS BEEN COMPROMISED. THE COST IS PROHIBITIVE AND WILL LIKELY FAIL AGAIN DUE TO THE DESIGN.

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.

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.

SKYSLIDER TOP -WELL MAINTAINED. CLOSED TOP WHILE PARKED IN DRIVEWAY AND TOP CAME OFF TRACK OR CABLE SNAPPED. FORCED CLOSED NOW BUT LIFTS WHEN DRIVING OVER 40MPH. THIS IS SECOND TIME HAPPENING. I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON THIS IS HAPPENING TO AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO OWN UP TO THEIR DESIGN FAILURE BEFORE TRYING TO "IMPROVE" IT AND ADD TO OTHER VEHICLES. THE SKYSLIDER TOP WAS THE MAIN SELLING FEATURE OF THE NEW JEEP LIBERTYS.

SKY ROOF WAS REPLACED BECAUSE IT FELL OFF TRACK. IT IS NOW STARTING TO DO IT AGAIN AND DEALER IS REFUSING TO REPLACE IT UNDER A WARRANTY. SEALS ARE NOT TIGHT AND ALLOW AIR THROUGH TO THE TRACK. IT THEN STARTS TO LIFT AND FOLD WHEN GOING OVER 40 MPH. I AM AFRAID IT IS GOING TO FLY OFF THE TRACK COMPLETELY WHILE MOVING. THE CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN ALREADY TOLD ME THAT THE SKY ROOFS BREAK EASILY AND THAT IS WHY THEY DON'T MAKE THEM ANY MORE. THEY SHOULD ALL BE RECALLED IF ARE CONTINUING TO HAVE PROBLEMS AND THEY ARE NOT GOING TO REPLACE THEM.
