I WAS HIT ON MY PASSENGER FRONT, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CROSS INTO A PARKING LOT, SO HARD UNTIL MY TIRE ROD BENT AT A 90* ANGLE. MY PASSENGER AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY. NONE OF MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THERE WAS NO BLIND SPOT WARNING. EVEN AFTER THE IMPACT, THERE WAS NO ALARM OR NOTIFICATION OF THE DAMAGE, AS THE FIREMEN WERE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE MY CAR OUT OF THE ROAD.

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 SKY SLIDER WHILE CLOSED, STARTED OPENING ON IT'S OWN GOING DOWN THE ROAD. AFTER STOPPING TO INSPECT, THE SKY SLIDER WILL NOT SEAL/CLOSE ALL THE WAY. AFTER TAKING IT TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THE SKY SLIDER NEEDS REPLACED BUT MOPAR DOES NOT PRODUCE THE PARTS ANY LONGER. NOW WHENEVER I NEED TO LEAVE, I HAVE TO BE SURE THE SKY SLIDER IS ALL THE WAY DOWN BEFORE DRIVING. EVEN THEN IT LIFTS AND OPENS ON ITS OWN. I CONTACTED JEEP AND THEY DO NOT HAVE A RECALL OR ANY AFFORDABLE SOLUTION TO THIS KNOWN DEFECT.

SKY SLIDER BLOWS UP WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, IT IS VERY NOISY, AND WHEN TAKEN TO JEEP DEALERSHIP, THEY SAY THE PARTS NECESSARY TO FIX IT ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE.

SINCE I BOUGHT MY JEEP ALMOST ONE MONTH AGO I'VE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR HATCH ACTUATOR TONIGHT ( 4 WEEKS AFTER REPLACING IT) MY CAT IS GIVING ME SAME ERROR MESSAGE THAT THE REAR GATE IS OPEN AND ALARM GOES OFF BY ITSELF. PANIC BUTTON DOESN'T TURN IT OFF SO APPARENTLY IT'S NOT THE ALARM DISGAGING. I GO OUT TO CAR OPEN AND CLOSE MAKE SURE IT'S PROPERLY SEALED AND HORN GOES OFF AGAIN. THIS IS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS. AM I GOING TO DROP 400.00 ON MY CAR ONCE A MONTH TO BE ABLE TO LOCK MY CAR OR HAVE MY DASH LIGHTS IN WHILE I DRIVE AT NIGHT OR IS THAT TO MUCH TO ASK OF JEEP?

CAR ALARM STARTED GOING OFF WHEN CAR WAS PARKED AT MY PLACE OF BUSINESS FOR NO APPARENT REASON, WENT OUT GOT IT OFF AND NOT EVEN 5 MINUTES LATER IT STARTED AGAIN. GOT IN THE CAR AND THE REAR HATCH WARNING LIGHT WAS ON SO I OPENED AND CLOSED IT LOOKED TO BE SECURE SO I TRIED LOCKING AGAIN AND ALARM WENT OFF AND WARNING LIGHT WAS STILL ON. REAR GATE IS NOT OPEN AND CANNOT LOCK MY VEHICLE WITHOUT THE ALARM GOING OFF. IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE AS THERE IS NOT A PROPER SEAL ALLOWING WATER TO LEAK INTO THE WINDOW. I LOOKED AT THE LATCHES AND THEY BOTH APPEAR TO BE CORRODED AND RUSTY FROM SAID WATER DAMAGE!

THE SKY VIEW ROOF MALFUNCTIONED, CAME LOOSE BEGAN TO CATCH AIR. I BELIEVED THAT IF I WAS GOING FASTER IT WOULD HAVE BLOWN OFF. THE ROOF CAME OFF ITS TRACK. IT NEEDED REPAIR TO REPLACE "PINS AND RESET THE SWITCH" I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THIS IS A CHRONIC ISSUE AND A COSTLY ONE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON AN OFF RAMP I WAS GOING APX. 35.MPH THE USED CAR DEALER WARRANTED THE REPAIR BUT STATED IT WAS LIKELY TO HAPPEN AGAIN.

SO, IN 2016 SEP. I TOOK MY 20012 JEEP LIBERTY IN FOR A RECALL WHICH HAS BEEN CORRECTED. THE TEC. THEN ADVISED ME TO GET THE LIGHT TURNED OFF I WOULD NEED TO PAY THE COST OF $400. TO GET THIS RESOLVED. AND IF I EVER GET INTO ACCIDENT THE AIRBAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY. I PERSONALLY THINK THAT THIS SHOULD BE A MANUFACTURES RECALL. AS OF TODAY I HAVE NOT YET FIXED THIS ISSUE. HOPEFULLY THIS WILL BE SOLVED BY NHTSA

I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL JEEP LIBERTY OWNER SINCE 2008. I NOW HAVE A 2012, IN TOTAL I HAVE HAD 3 LIBERTY'S. THE CLOCK IN EACH OF THEM REMAIN 2 OR 3 MINUTES BEHIND NO MATTER WHAT I DO! I'VE JUST LOOKED AT YOUR COMPLAINTS AND I SEE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT JUST THAT. IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH IS WHY I'M SURE MOST PEOPLE HAVEN'T WRITTEN ABOUT IT. OR LIKE I DID IN 2008, I JUST ASSUMED THAT IS WAS JUST A FLUKE WITH THAT PARTICULAR CAR. WRONG, EVERY LIBERTY THAT I HAVE HAD HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. NOW THAT YOU ARE NOT MAKING THE LIBERTY ANYMORE PERHAPS YOU CAN DO SOMETHING WITH YOUR REMAINING LIBERTY OWNERS AND DO A RECALL AND FIX THE CLOCK? FURTHER MORE IT MAKES ME WONDER IF I SHOULD START A SURVEY/CAMPAIGN WITH OWNERS OF OTHER JEEP/CHRYSLER OWNERS TO SEE IF THEIR CLOCKS KEEP CORRECT TIME. OBVIOUSLY, I LIKE THE VEHICLE AND HAVE CONTINUED TO PURCHASE IT HOWEVER; IT IS VERY "TIME CONSUMING" TO HAVE TO RESET THE CLOCK EVERY OTHER DAY. YES, PUN INTENDED! PLEASE, LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU INTEND TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. IS IT THE SAME IN ALL YOUR VEHICLES OR IS THIS A DEFECT OF ONLY THE LIBERTY? IF SO THEN YOU HAVE AN EVEN BIGGER PROBLEM THEN I IMAGINED.
