Once parked the heat sheild came up against the heater core and must have sparked causing it to catch fire under the hood! Needs to be investigated before causing a possible fatal issue

I had a rear differential kit put in my car back in march 2016 and low and behold the same issue is going on now. I also had the front wheel bearing and hubs replace and still the whining nose.

When I am driving my jeep the parking break will randomly come on when I am driving down the highway or street. The heat shaft under my jeep completely fell off while I was driving 30 miles per hour on a city street. The electric windows, locks and auto start frequently glitch out where they just do not work at all. The cruise control works only about half of the time and will not turn on at all the other half of the time.

This vehicle has a broken control arm. While the 2008 liberty is not under recall the 2004-2007 liberty is under recall for this same issue. I feel this recall should be expanded.
