Fuel Spit Back During Refueling. When refueling at any gas pump, flammable fuel almost always spits back out of the filler hose, down the side of the vehicle and pools on ground by the tire. There has been a recall issued for the same issue and same vehicle model: Jeep Liberty KK, which runs from 2008-12. However, the recall only covers year 2008.
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.
The Rear suspension lower control arms were rusted and cracked to the point they were close to breaking into pieces. There were no warning lamps, messages, or symptoms that alerted us to this problem - we happened to look under the car one day and noticed this. This problem was inspected, confirmed, and repaired by a local mechanic and reported to Jeep via their customer service. I am aware that this particular part caused a recall for the 2007 Jeep Liberty (and I'm guessing this is correlated with similar recalls in other manufacturers, e.g. the 2007-2011 Honda CRVs were recalled due to corrosion in the lower frame due to de-icing agents).
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 discontinued on. The internet is full of complaints regarding these Sky Slider roof life-threatening issues. Something needs to be done to protect consumers from the physical and financial harm of these vehicles.

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 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 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.

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY TO WORK (I'M IN THE MILITARY) AND DRIVING ABOUT 65 WHEN THE SKY SLIDER POPPED UP AND FLEW BACK. I SWERVED BECAUSE IT SCARED ME, I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AS FAST AS I COULD, SCARED THE CAR BEHIND ME. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD FIX IT BUT IT WOULD COST 4400. I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO FILE A CLAIM AND THE ADJUSTER DENIED IT BECAUSE HE STATED THAT IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT AND THEY DON'T COVER THAT. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE A RECALL, THIS COULD HAVE ENDED WORSE IF TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. IN ORDER FOR ME TO GET IT TO THE DEALER FOR THEM TO LOOK AT IT I HAD TO TAPE IT DOWN (DUE TO WEATHER) AND I HAD TO USE TOW STRAPS TO KEEP THE SKY LINER FROM POPPING UP WHILE DRIVING. THIS REALLY MAKES ME MAD, I USED MY DEPLOYMENT MONEY TO BUY THIS VEHICLE AND I FEEL LIKE I WASTED ALL MY HARD EARNED MONEY FOR THIS PIECE OF JUNK. I WILL NEVER BUY A JEEP PRODUCT IN MY LIFE AGAIN, MATTER OF FACT I HAVE TURNED TO SOCIAL MEDIA TO WORN EVERYONE ABOUT THIS.
AIR BAG COVER IS VERY STICKY AND FEELS LIKE IT STAYS THIS WAY NO MATTER HOW MUCH I WIPE IT DOWN.
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.

ON FRIDAY, 07.07.2017, AS I WAS DRIVING INTO A TURN LANE FROM THE HWY, I HAD SLOWED WAY DOWN FOR TRAFFIC THEN PICKED UP SPEED SLIGHTLY, NOT EVEN 10 MPH, TO FOLLOW CARS IN THE TURN LANE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR BECAME SLUGGISH AND THE JEEP CAME TO A STOP. AS I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN THERE WAS A VERY LOUD POP FROM UNDER THE HOOD. EVERYTHING QUIT, THE ENGINE, THE ELECTRIC, THE STARTER WOULD NOT TURN OVER WHEN I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN OR THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS. JUST BEFORE THIS HAPPENED THE ENGINE LIGHT AND, WHAT I FOUND OUT LATER, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS CONFUSED AT WHAT JUST HAPPENED. THINKING WHAT I SAW NEXT WAS STEAM COMING FROM UNDER THE JEEP WAS STEAM I POPPED THE HOOD TO GO LOOK. THERE WAS TRAFFIC ALL AROUND ON THE HWY. ONCE I OPENED THE HOOD I FOUND THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS ON FIRE, BACK AGAINST THE FIREWALL BETWEEN THE ENGINE AND THE STEERING COLUMN, BEHIND THE BATTERY. THE FIRE GOT BIGGER ONCE THE HOOD WAS OPEN, IT SPREAD VERY FAST. PEOPLE IN OTHER CARS WERE YELLING AND A GUY STOPPED TO HELP ME AND TOLD ME TO GET AWAY FROM THE JEEP BECAUSE IT WAS GAS THAT WAS BURNING. THE FIRE DEPT WAS CALLED YET BY THE TIME THEY GOT THERE THE WHOLE FRONT END OF THE JEEP WAS DESTROYED.

STEM VALVES ARE DEFECTIVE. THE SKY SLIDER STOPPED WORKING. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY DID NOT WANT TO HELP. IF YOU SEARCH OR THE REVIEWS EVERYONE HAS THE SAME ISSUES. THEREFORE, THEY SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE MECHANISMS OR THE LAW SHOULD GET INVOLVED AND MAKE THEM FIX THESE ISSUES.
