2009 Jeep Liberty owner complaints

I'm the original owner of a 2009 Jeep Liberty with a Skyslider roof that I barely used. I was driving when the Sky Slider roof suddenly blew open and back, snapping the cables and launching pieces of parts like missiles. It was a terrifying experience for me and my young children. I have dealt with the very loud wind noise for the past 12 years after having it evaluated several times by dealerships and being told there was nothing that could be done about it. It can be even more overwhelming for children with Autism and/or sensory issues. Fortunately, I was able to avoid an on-road accident, but still was hit with those projectile pieces and now have the added financial component of having to pay for repairs on a vehicle that the dealership has said most of the replacement parts have been

Skyslider flew back while driving on the freeway, almost caused an accident. Dealership said it would cost 4,000$ to fix, but they can't fix it regardless. I bought this Jeep brand new for 35,000$ 40,000$ after interest. Ill never in my life buy a Jeep again the hassle this has put me through. Especially the danger its caused. Almost killing my children & me.

I am writing to let you know that I have done extensive research after the electrical system in 2009 Jeep liberty began to give me problems. The problems are as follows: brake lights going out multiple times in a 1-2 year period, the radio and heat cutting off and restarting on their own multiple times in a short 30 minute drive, while the heat and radio are cut out the wipers and turn signals do not work which is a bit troublesome living in new england with the rain and snow since I cannot rely upon my car to work properly or safely. Jeep claims that they do not know what is wrong with my car but a second opinion with another mechanic told me that this is a commonly known problem with Jeep and that this should be a recall because the vehicles are not safe. I have found numerous people onl

Car would not start. Called aaa who made several attempts to start car but all failed. Tow driver said he thought key was problem since all electrical was fine. Said he had approx six incidents in recent months with Jeep/Chrysler and all were due to key failure. I was towed from jfk airport to Jeep dealer in wantagh. It was determined key **deprogrammed** and so failed. I asked if there was any indication this failure was going to happen and they said no. They replaced one key under warranty and charged me 206.00 for second key. I wrote to Jeep/Chrysler for reimbursement and was denied. A failure like this could cause serious issues . *tr

While stationary sunroof leaks water causing roof damage and appears by rust from the outside due to water settling. Leaking sunroof also damaged motor of driver side window.

My driver side rear light stopped working, the light above my license plate only works intermittently, and my rear windshield wiper also malfunctions - it either wont turn off once it's turned on, or it wont work at all. *tr

The actuator in my heating system went out, and needed to be replaced, at only 52,000 miles. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 Jeep liberty. The contact was refueling the vehicle when fuel spewed from the filler neck. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic for inspection or repairs. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 42000.

The sunroof is the whole roof. Vehicles were originally equipped with defective leaking sunroofs that Chrysler knew were defective. No recall has been issued. Chrysler has a lawsuit filed for this issue. I would like this issue to be fixed by Chrysler and my inside roof replaced from water spots from the leaking as well as the motor that works the sunroof. Owners of these vehicles should not be penalized and have to pay to repair and replace when Chrysler knows this is a big issue with this vehicle. I purchased this used vehicle, unaware of this issue and I am now stuck with it and having to pay for a loan on it. It was not disclosed from he dealership I purchased it from. Please someone help.

I have had light sensors on my dash, electronic stability, slippery road. Service 4wd, and misfire #2 cylinder, and service ABS. I took it in for diagnostics they say the head gasket is blown, or it has a cracked head allowing antifreeze in the #2 cylinder. The lights come on a couple at a time, when driving, and then go ff either when I turn the car off, or a day or two later.

The contact owns a 2009 Jeep Liberty. The contact stated while driving 20 MPH, he heard abnormal banging sounds coming from the rear of the vehicle and the vehicle was shuddering violently. The contact veered to the side of the road and exited the vehicle to determine the cause of the failure. The contact noticed that the rear tires had moved forward and were close to the wheel well. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that all four rear control arms were fractured. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V278000 (Suspension). The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 101,000.

The passenger side rumbles when in motion feels like your driving on a flat tire - but the tires are fine. This cause me to slow down 10 of speed before stopping or the car wombles more.

While driving I heard a popping sound and felt the vehicle sway slightly. The vehicle continued to making intermittent banging noises towards the rear passenger side. Upon stopping and investigating I found the rear control arm had failed on the passenger side. I also examined the driver side rear control arm. It was intact but has significant rust, which likely contributed to the passenger side failure, as it also has significant rust. Car has been parked since the incident. I would like to know if the manufacturer/dealer will replace both components free of charge. There was a safety bulletin for the same issue for the 2004-2007 model year of the vehicle (18V-278). A search on the internet found the same failures in my model year for the lower control arms.

Fuel pump broke and needed to be replaced, at only 44,000 miles. *tr

Approximately june 30, 2013, I was driving on an interstate at 65 MPH when the low tire pressure light came on. I managed to cross 2 lanes and get to the side of the road to discover my front driver's side tire was flat. The cause of the flat was a broken valve stem. These are the aluminum valve stems used in the tire pressure monitoring system. I had it replaced. On november 22, 2013, only 5 months later, while traveling at a high rate of speed again, 65 MPH, another of the aluminum valve stems broke. I did keep some of the pieces that I found. Unfortunately I had to travel approximately 1 mile on the tire that quickly went flat. There are only 52,000 miles on the vehicle. These are the original valve stems that came on the vehicle. *tr

Rear window hinge has corroded out and no longer holding window. Window only held on by remaining hinge and latch. Dealer/Chrysler will not cover repair or do recall even though this is a common problem. See http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f292/help-back-glass-lift-gate-1460124/ if window falls out during travel on highway, could cause significant accident. *tr
