2008 jeep liberty limited is unlocking on its own which is causing a safety hazard. my son removed the fuse, the door has to be locked manually. the only door that does not lock is the rear tailgate. the vehicle has been parked in the yard, at work, parking lots at the movies, the malls, etc. and when i returned to the vehicle it is unlocked. please advise your remedy to resolve this issue to keep the vehicle safe and locked at all times.
When trying to unlock with remote key, horn blares, wipers go, washer fluid sprays, locks go haywire. happens regularly now, also started while idling for awhile. concern is that it will do this when driving soon. on one occasion i started vehicle but it would not turn off while doing this. happened a least a dozen times in last 6-8 weeks.
I started my car and my headlights flashed on and off about 3 or 4 times. after that happened i have been unable to get my headlights to stay on the just flash and shut off. my fog lights work properly but other headlights just flash and stay off. i have checked fuses/relays and nothing has changed.
Turned vehicle on and wipers were going and switch was turned to off, enterior lights flash on and off, no turn signals, says back gate is open and it's not, doors lock on their own, air bag light says off, burning smell, alarm goes off at random
When starting my car it drives okay, but if let running all the lights come on, and if i drive 5 minutes down the road it goes off and then bings and all comes back on. i am being told it may be my clockspring and most 2008 jeeps are experiencing that after 100,000 miles but it is not a recall issue. i has the check engine on constantly as well as the airbag sensor.
I have several different issues with my 08 jeep liberty. the locks randomly lock and unlock. when i use the lock button on the transmitter, it'll unlock the doors sometimes right after or at some point when parked. the headlights randomly come on and go off when parked. the traction control light comes on intermittently while driving. the traction control system also randomly activates on dry pavement and even throws the front end out of alignment because it will brake one wheel. i've almost had several accidents because of this engaging. also, when the traction/stability control engages there's a noise from the brake system followed by smoke at whatever wheel it's trying to brake. i took it into dealer and they replaced my front brakes and rotors and that hasn't fixed the problem. now they are saying i need a new draft shaft, tie rods and a couple other front end pieces. i don't believe that's where the problems are coming from. it's a scary situation driving this because i don't know if i'm going to make it where i'm going because the steering can lose control because of the traction system. also, it's developed a major leak in the ...
The security horn will go off for no reason and if you place the key in the ignition that wont stop it. i have read several reviews and other have had this problem. it cost me $380.00 to get a new key fob and the reset the computer system.
My car is possessed the horn goes off, the lock continuously lock and unlock, the wipers won't stop, and the horn beeps! it happens very sparaticly it hasn't happened in months then it statred up again today! there are many people that are having this same problem and i don't understand why there isn't a recall this is reduculous! it won't stop when i drive and it won't stop unless it sits for a while or i disconnect the battery!
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 problems started with the new battery going dead for no reason until i installed security cameras on our house and saw the head lights would randomly turn on and off running the battery dead when the car was parked in the driveway. then the windshield wipers would come on and not turn off and sometimes the car wouldn't start and when it did on these events it would shake acting like it was running out of gas
A piece fell from under the seat which makes the seat feel loose. the side control panel for moving the seat back and forth does not give full control of adjusting the seat. the key less remote will not lock and unlock my doors. i have to use manual locks. i took it to be looked at, i was advised ground wires were crossing and blowing out a fuse/relay. the mophar skyliner sunroof is off track. there is a manufacturer defect in the sunroof. chrysler has not issued a recall yet several jeeps are having and have had this issue. it is $300 for a new roof which will break/go off track within 2 years. or $6000 to repair the roof i have which still does not guarantee it will break/go off track again. the roof opens on it's own while i am driving causing exposure to outside weather. i have read from other customers that the roof has flown off while driving which can cause injuries to the passengers in vehicle and/or driving around the vehicle. *js
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. the contact stated that the vehicle would not start. also, while the vehicle was in motion, the windshield wipers would activate, the horn would sound, the door locks would lock and unlock on their own, and the vehicle would not shift or exceed 20 mph. an independent mechanic diagnosed that the electrical system and totally integrated power module caused the failures. the mechanic also stated that the failures would occur with no key in the ignition. the dealer (ed voyles chrysler dodge jeep ram, 789 cobb pkwy se, marietta, ga 30060, (844) 715-5921) stated that since there was no recall they could not assist. the contact stated that the vehicle was repaired for the exact same failures back in 2016. the manufacturer stated that there was only a twelve month warranty on the original repairs performed in 2016. the failure mileage was 105,000.
We have had numerous electrical issues with this jeep which all come from thetipm and the ecm. we have replaced the tipm 3times now at over $1000.00 each time!!! this is the number one complaint on this vehicle and i have found thousands of complaints involving this part. something needs to be done about this. i am going to try and start a class action lawsuit against jeep seeings how they refuse to address this issue and make their customers pay thousands of dollars to fix the problem.
We were leaving for a trip and got about 200 feet from our front door and the windshield wipers started going on their own, there was windshield fluid coming out and the horn was honking. the car was running but we were at a stop. we shut the car off and started it back up and it stopped. we started our trip and realized that the electrical outlet no longer would stay on and the doors would not operate with the remote. we stopped at an auto parts store to use their code checker and we got a read error and the car never started again. we were 70 miles from home, cost us $300 to have the car towed. we had the tipm replaced for a mere $840, the doors still do not operate with the remote and it is back in the shop. very frustrated at this point.
Bought the vehicle in va on 2/19/18, driving home to me and after 50 miles in rain the horn started going off every time the wipers moved. pushed the horn button and the washer fluid started squirting out. was able to pull over and had to shut the jeep off then was able to continue. stopped in ct for gas and got back on the interstate and the all lights turned off on the outside but all the dash warning lights turned on, wipers turned on, horn turned on, washer fluid sprayer went continuously and the motor would stop and start on its own, while moving! luckily, made it to the side of the road and turned the ignition off but all electrical components continued to go off randomly then the car would not restart. after turning the key on and off multiple times, moving the shifting lever, pulling fuses from the panel under the hood and putting them back in it started running again. this happened a second time about 100 miles later. was able to get the car back to me but after i shut the jeep off and started ...
