“The sky slider panoramic roof has some broken internal parts and won't fully close causing leaking water and loud wind noise. Roanoke Jeep dealer says they can't get replacement parts and there is no way to fix. I have visited 4 other shops and the only solution offered is to remove the panoramic roof and replace with full metal roof with a cost of $5000. I can't believe there are no replacement parts for a 10 year old vehicle and I'm stuck with a vehicle that is going to leak every time it rains.”
NHTSA complaint #11191452, filed 2019-03, 84,000 miles“The roof and coolant reservoir are leaking. On july 30, 2015, I brought my 2009 Jeep Liberty to phillips chrysler Jeep dodge for repairs. Per test results, the sun roof drains were clogged; however, no leaks were detected in the coolant reservoir. I am continuously filling the reservoir with coolant which continues to leak from under the vehicle and possible on the driver's side floor. The roof continues to leak, but the leak is now in the hatch area. Also, the locks on the driver side door will sometimes not unlock when I used the handle. …”
NHTSA complaint #10749948, filed 2015-08, 119,550 miles“2009 Jeep Liberty with the skyslider roof (retractable). While increasing vehicle speed on a highway road, one of the four (4) arms that secures the roof to the top of the car, sheered. The incident causes the roof to collapse. Fearing for the safety of other drivers nearby, I slowed my vehicle to 60 MPH. When it was safe for me to do so, I pulled over to inspect the vehicle. Upon inspecting the roof, I concluded that the breakage was linked to an arm/lever, whose composition is mainly casted aluminum. The vehicle was eventually taken to a repair shop. …”
NHTSA complaint #10763348, filed 2015-09, 100,850 miles“The Jeep Liberty had an option called the sky-slider roof. I have seen many, many problems with the roof and I am positive that chrysler corporation is well aware of the defect with this sky-slider roof that malfunctions, locks and will not work. Our roof was stuck closed and taken to a Jeep dealership for repair. They had to break a part to check what needed repair. It turns out that our extended warranty expired at 75,000 miles, but due to the weather, this roof cannot be opened, according to the owners manual unless the temperature is below 40 degrees f. …”
NHTSA complaint #10715609, filed 2015-05, 75,000 miles“I attempted to open the skyslider roof and nothing happened. I attempted it a few times, then stopped for fear of not being able to close it if it did actually open. I started researching this issue online and I have found that chrysler is well aware of the defect with every model of Jeep that has the skyslider option. Not only do they not stand behind their defect and issue recalls for their customers, but they charge thousands to fix a potential safety issue. I bought an extended warranty and need to pay for a diagnostic just to be told it won't be covered. Scam. I'm none too pleased. …”
