2008 Jeep Liberty Electrical System Problems

While driving the vehicle the car started having various electrical problems. The wipers kept going on and off and all instrument lights kept going on and off.

The contact owns a 2008 Jeep Liberty. The contact stated while at a standstill, the horn and windshield wipers would activate independently. The vehicle was not taken to a local dealer. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and told the contact to call NHTSA to file a complaint. The failure mileage was unavailable. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE'S BATTERY WAS DISCONNECTED IN ORDER TO PREVENT THE FAILURE FROM RECURRING.

CAR AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCKS MANY TIMES PER DAY. NO ONE AROUND, NO KEYS NEAR BY. CAR WAS KEY LOCKED AND THIS UNLOCKING STILL CONTINUES. CAR IS STATIONARY PARKED IN DRIVEWAY. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL DAYS. I REPORTED ONLY THE BEGINNING DATE

THIS CARS TIPM SYSTEM IS EXTREMELY FAULTY I'VE HAD IT FIXED 3 ALREADY AND IT STILL ACTS AS OF IT IS POSSESSED. THIS HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY WHERE THE CAR STARTED GOING OFF BY IT'S SELF STALLED AND COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I ALMOST DIED. THERE HAS BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VEHICLES TIPM SYSTEM BUT JEEP REFUSES TO RECALL THEM. ALSO THE AIRBAGS DO NOT DEPLOY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE

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.

THE TIPM FAILED, CAUSING ALL TYPES OF SERIOUS PROBLEMS WHICH YOU ARE ALREADY AWARE OF.

THE VEHICLE STARTS GOOD NO PROBLEMS DURING THE FIST START OF THE ENGINE ON THE DAY, MY WORK IS A FOLLOWS I MAKE SEVERAL STOPS DURING THE DAY WITH AN APPROXIMATED 30 MIN IN BETWEEN, LATER DURING THE DAY VEHICLE STALLS, SEVERAL LIGHTS ON DASH BOARD FLUSH AND MOVE, I HAVE TO MAKE SERVAL ATTEMPTS TO START THE ENGINE VEHICLE CONTINUE TO STALLS, AT THIS PINTS THE VEHICLE HAS STAID SEVERAL OCCASIONS AT THE DEALER AND DIFFERENT MECHANIC PER THE DEALER THEY DINT NOW WHY THE VEHICLE IS DOING THIS , PER MECHANIC STARTER, AND ALTERNATOR GOOD. SO FAR I HAD REPLACE THE BATTERY, COMPUTER AND PAY FOR MULTIPLE INSPECTIONS, THIS IS FRUSTRATING, I ALSO NOTICED ONLINE RE SEARCH MULTIPLE JEEP OWNERS HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT, ANY ASSISTANCE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU .

TIPM FAILURE IN TRANSIT. JEEP STALLED ON ROADWAY. ALL DASH LIGHTS LIT, AND "NO BUS" ON THE ODOMETER. NEAR COLLISIONS BUT LUCKY THEY MANAGED TO STOP. 2008 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED. IS NOT OPEN FOR A RECALL ON THE TIPM REPLACEMENT THOUGH ALL OTHER YEARS WITH SAME MODULE ARE. '07 09' AND LATER. NOT SAFE. AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCK FAILED TO LOCK AND UNLOCK AS INTENDED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BECAUSE IT WAS USED AS FOR POSTAL DELIVERIES. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE FAILED. ROANOKE MOTOR COMPANY WAS CONTACTED BY PHONE AT (309) 923-7171 AND AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED, WHICH WAS STILL PENDING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 195,000.

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

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.
