2008 Jeep Liberty Electronic stability control Problems

“Our 2008 Jeep Liberty was parked in the driveway. All of the sudden the horn began honking on it's own, the vehicle started, the alternator made the belt burn, and the windshield wipers would not shut off. All of this was happening with no key in the ignition and the vehicle was locked. When we tried to put the key in the ignition, the vehicle would not stop making the noises or shut off.”

“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.”

“Driving on the highway my sky slider folded back off the track making a horrific sound. The power button used to open and close the sky slider does not work. It just makes a grinding noise. We had to manually push the sky slider down. There is also a leaking issue when there is rain. Water pours into the vehicle from around the front interior lights on the roof between the driver and passenger seat. There is also water marks from the sky slider leaking. I also have a sensor that stays on constantly. The sensor is for low tire pressure.”

“The skyslider roof on my 2008 Jeep Liberty is broken and has been for years. I had it fixed while under warranty, but it broke several months later after my warranty expired. Now I have been quoted $4000.00 to repair it again. It came off the tracks while driving and started flapping in the air. Water leaks in the car even when the roof worked. The roof comes off the tracks and then breaks the cable that runs it. You can be stationary or moving. The second issue is the wheel speed sensors go out frequently, and disables your 4 wheel drive. …”

“There has been an intermittent issue where the check engine light comes on followed by the traction control light (usually after making a left hand turn.) when this first started the vehicle was still under warranty, and went to Jeep. They had our Liberty for several days and swapped out the cam and crankshaft sensors to fix this problem. The car again was acting up within a month or so, and when we called the dealer back to bring it back in they advised us that the extended warranty that we paid a lot of money for was now expired. I took it to a local auto parts store to have the codes read. …”
