Grinding or squealing brakes by model year
What owners say
It wouldn't let me click on multiple other options like the windshield. Snow blows through the front vent sometimes as I'm driving if I have it on regular heat or defrost. The breaks have always squeaked since I got the vehicle in 2018. I have to play with the seatbelt to get it to lock in place. The wheel sometimes turns on its own randomly to the left and the suspension is really off and bouncy.
The seatbelts have a trick I have to play with the drivers seatbelt to get it to click. The breaks have always squeaked and not stopped correctly the suspension feels off. The wheel turns to the left. I don't know about the airbags because I have yet to get into a wreck. The wheel turned to the left staring up my car after getting gas causing me to smash in my passenger drivers side door. Problems upon problems since I got the vehicle from four seasons auto in st.george utah. Busy now has damage the engine gets hot and smelly. Snow will literally blow through my defrost vents and hit me in the face with mists of snow.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. While the vehicle was in reverse, the contact heard a grinding/popping noise coming from the rear of the vehicle. It was noticed that the transfer heat shield detached and rubbed against the driveshaft. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The VIN was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 13v121000 (air bags, power train, structure). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 194,232.
There was a noise, like grinding when I went to back out of my drive way, from the rear of the jeep and when taken to the dealership the tech found the rear floor heat shield had come losse and was rubbing on the driveshaft. The dealership charged me $474.20 to fix it on 3/9/2015. I just found out today, 11/2/2015, there was a recall on other 2008 jeep libertys (my VIN number wasn't part of the recall) but it sounds like the issue should have been! Why wasn't my jeep part of the recall? Are there other owners like me, who had the same issue but weren't considered part of the recall? I think we should be! Please advise.
