The sky slider roof of the trail rated 2008 Jeep Liberty is not functioning properly causing water to come into the vehicle and staining the interior. It also has wind hitting it enough to push back and eventually fall off going on the highway. This is a hazard for everyone on the road.
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 Liberty.
Driving on NJ turnpike horn starts blaring, wipers start going and the wiper fluid is spraying non stop! had to pull over until it stopped no the first time this has happened.
In a rain when there was some wind, the driver and passenger floors collected 3+ inches of water. It was parked. The drains are near wires, which is unsafe. This was the limited version..... so far I found that chrylser is fixing 07-08 Wrangler with this problem.

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.
On 11/22/2017 I parked 5 spaces from the front door of meijer on E.Michigan ave in jackson, mi. As my esa animal remained in the vehicle I left the car running and heat on low. I was in the store about 3 minutes. By the time I returned to the vehicle I was informed by a bystander my vehicle was on fire and help was on the way. I asked about my dog and was told no one had seen him. I frantically searched the car for (nagini) my dog causing 3rd degree burns on my hands.I was able to retrieve him from the Jeep. He was unconscious and unresponsive. I began cpr and he was resuscitated. But sadly nagini died from his injuries 2 days later.
My 2008 Jeep Liberty 'sky slider' roof has flown off the track while driving down the highway (while my children were in the car!!) and now does not securely stay closed. This is a huge safety issue.
On my Jeep Liberty kk I have the power skyslider. It constantly comes off track and doesn't close so when I get in the car after it rains everything is wet. It has come to that im afraid that when I'm driving at high way speeds that the roof with fly off and cause an accident. I didn't do antthing to cause this issue. It is a design flaw by Jeep and I want them to own up to it and put out a recall because it is unsafe and impractical to use the car after it rains.
Various electrical systems would spontaneously turn on while driving or parked. My wipers (front and back) would turn on full speed, my horn would blast, lights would dim. Even when I turn the car off, these systems stay on. When I open the drivers door, the wipers would occasionally move 1-2 inches.
Intermittent problem. When starting car, wipers come on and turn signals fail to work. The only way to get wipers to stop is to pull the fuse. Turn signals remain inoperable. This problem has been ongoing for over 2 years. Have taken vehicle to dealer multiple times. Dealer claims they cannot locate a problem; however, there clearly is a problem. Do not feel safe driving car with wipers going and no turn signals. We have also had issues with interior lights remaining on. Very distracting to driver at night. Again, took vehicle to dealer and they cannot find a problem. Please help issue occurs while vehicle is stationary and in motion. We drive city and highway streets.
Started car, stopped at light, made a turn. Horn started blaring, front and rear wipers went on with spray in rear, dashboard lights went crazy. Pulled into "grease monkey" put it in park, wouldn't turn off, took out key, still running. Grease monkey employee removed fuse to stop horn, but everything else was still going, even after disconnecting battery. After about 15 minutes (while waiting for aaa), engine starting smoking. Not sure what he did, but employee finally got it to turn off. There was also something dripping under the car. Aaa towed it to the closest aaa-approved mechanic. Diagnosis: Totally integrated power module needs to be replaced to the tune O $1400. I feel this definitely created an unsafe condition, especially if it would have happened on the highway where I would not have had immediate help. Who knows what could have happened -- an accident, a fire?? since it is a holiday weekend and the part had to be ordered, my car won't be worked on until Tuesday, 9/6; therefore, I do not have an invoice yet.
Retractable roof broke while driving and almost flew off into traffic. Luckily there was a passenger who was able to grap it before it flew off into traffic. A very bad safety issue, could have caused an accident. To have it repaired it is $600. We did not have it repaired. They were able to close the roof and disconnect it. I called Jeep and they were not very nice and are not willing to help pay for the repairs. This is a safety issue and should have been recalled. If you look it up on the internet many people have had this problem. Why wasn't it recalled.
Three years ago, I had the sky slider on the Jeep replaced completely. On Tuesday, June 14, 2016, I opened the slider up and it would not close. I took it to back to the business that replaced the sky slider in 2013, paymer & phillips, and they told me that they have replaced several 2008 Jeep Liberty sky sliders. They showed me the plastic piece which was broken which is the reason why the sky slider which is a convertible top, would not close. The first time, the repairs cost $3362.81. Today I was told the repair cost would be $2768. It was suggested that I contact Chrysler and report this incident and ask them to absorb the cost. I have yet to hear from a case manager as of today.
The skyslider roof fails to close. I have owned the car since buying it new in 2008. The skyslider was replaced in June of 2013 after failing to close and making driving unsafe due to the flapping of the cloth roof at 45 mph or higher. Roof has broken again as of May 2016 with the same issue after only being opened 5 times. This type of roof is going to cause an accident. At any time the cables or plastic frame can snap causing the roof to peel back. I was afraid the roof was going to completely dis-attach and hit the car behind me.
There was a noise, like grinding when I went to back out of my drive way, from the rear of the Jeep and when taken to the dealership the tech found the rear floor heat shield had come losse and was rubbing on the driveshaft. The dealership charged me $474.20 to fix it on 3/9/2015. I just found out today, 11/2/2015, there was a recall on other 2008 Jeep Liberty (my VIN number wasn't part of the recall) but it sounds like the issue should have been! why wasn't my Jeep part of the recall" are there other owners like me, who had the same issue but weren't considered part of the recall" I think we should be! please advise.
My heat shield came loose and detached at 110000 miles while driving. It was obviously resting on moving parts under my vehicle. It made a klattering rattle as the vehicle slowed to a stop where I could check out the problem. The heat shield readily came out when the rear passenger tire was removed to provide access to the part on the side of the road.
