NHTSA complaint #11352912, filed 2020-09, 132,000 miles“I have a 2011 Jeep Liberty with a sky slider, the slider no longer operates and it leaks water the dealership says it will charge 150 just to look at but not fix I have read that many owners are having this same issue. Slider roof also makes a lot of noise while closed on highway like it going to fly off.”
NHTSA complaint #10897334, filed 2016-08, 87,000 miles“#1 problem, after driving in wet weather, gate open illuminates on dash, interior lights all come on, then when I get stopped turn off car and lock it, within about 5 minutes alarm starts going off, shut off alarm, within a few minutes usually will go off again, usually have to take anything of value with me because the only way to make the alarm not sound is to keep it unlocked. …”
NHTSA complaint #10733966, filed 2015-07, 61,458 miles“At speed above 55 or in heavy winds the sound of air coming through the sunroof can be very disconcerting. Turning up the radio to hear it becomes a must. The sudden gusts cause you to take your eyes off the road at times. With the increased noise it becomes increasingly difficult to hear outside noise which could easily become a safety concern. The local Jeep dealer says there is no fix, and not to worry unless it leaks. He also stated he had seen this problem before. My call to customer service ( I have the ref # if needed) resulted in much the same discourse. …”
NHTSA complaint #10572553, filed 2014-03, 20,000 miles“Driving on highway, began hearing a high pitched humming noise, began smelling a burning rubber smell, pulled over to side of highway, and smoke began coming from under the hood. Within 10 mins, the front end of the vehicle was completely engulfed in flames. Have owned vehicle for a year and a half, and have had no issues prior to this incident. Car seemed to be functioning normally prior to this incident.”
