I owned this vehicle for 2 1/2 years, my jeep liberty has a sunroof that completely opens up the roof and all the sudden on tuesday september 27,2011 around 5:45 I was driving and try to open the sunroof a little and it open all crooked and with the wind it was lifting up from one side I had to pull over and hold it with one hand and driving with my other hand I had to drive back home called the dealer witch was closed at the time the next day I called the towing truck to take it to the dealer closer to my house and they send us 35 min. Away from there because we had to take it were we bought the vehicle and not covered by the warranty. It's been 11 days already and I still don't have my vehicle back. I haven't seen that many vehicles with the sunroof like mine and I'm really wondering if this has happen to someone else.

The driver's side window on my 2008 jeep liberty fell down a few days ago. When I brought it in to get fixed, I was told that this was a common problem and, because of that, the part had been redesigned and I would now need a new window as well, totaling over $800. My warranty just elapsed less than 6,000 miles ago. I was also told that this would likely be recalled eventually but that doesn't help me while my window is being held up with duct tape because I don't have an extra $800 to fix it at the moment.
Purchased used jeep liberty for my daughter. 2008 model with 25,000 miles. Had jeep 1 year and 2nd window motor just went out while on vacation. Stopped at mech. Shop on vacation to get window up until I could get home and he said his son had 3 go out. Talked to 2 people at hotel who had their window tapped up for same thing. Looking on internet I am amazed on the number of complaints. How many have to break before jeep makes this good?
My jeep liberty does not defog properly. At outdoor temps below -13 c. It begins to ice up and will get to the point where you cannot see out of the side windows. It has been into the dealer six times. The last time they said they had replaced the entire heating system. This did not correct the problem. The engineers at chrysler canada told me the system is extremely sensitive to moisture; so if there are wet boots or a hockey bag in the vehicle the system will not function properly. Considering I live in northern ontario this sounds a little strange to me. I did keep the recorded message from chrysler costumer service.
2008 jeep liberty window regulator breakage
I have 2008 jeep liberty. The problem 1) the defrosters are to centrally located and do not clear ice and snow off the entire windshield. 2) the front turning signals get covered with snow and need to be cleaned off everytime there is any snow. The snow lays on the front bumper and covers the turning signals. Both of these are hazards.
Tl*the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. The vehicle was purchased in september 2008. During the winter months the defrost operates at 10% and failed to completely defrost the windshields. Two dealers stated that due to the design of the vehicle they are unable to make any adjustments to correct the failure. Only 2 to 3 inches of the window was cleared from the dash board. The contact was willing to pay the repair cost. The failure mileage was 10000 and the current mileage was 37000.
I am on my second front windshield for my 2008 jeep liberty. Within 2000 miles of driving my new jeep, the front windshield developed a myriad of tiny "pock marks". The marks became so numerous that visibility began to diminish, especially with a strong sun glare. The windshield subsequently cracked at the 13000 mile point and was replaced by the dealership with a factory window. The new front window has approx 1000 miles on it and it developing the same marks. I do not work in an industrial environment and the jeep is always garaged at home.
During cold weather conditions, there is an excessive amount of fog and or ice that builds up along both of the driver and passenger side a pillar. Due to the design of the dash defrost vents, air flow across this section of the windshield is insufficient making up to 25 percent of the windshield area non visible.
When it is very cold outside (10f or so) the defrost on for the front window of my 2008 jeep liberty does not defrost the window all the way and ice forms on the inside. You cannot see out the window, and with more then one person in the jeep, it does not clear up all the way, no matter how long of a trip you take in the car. The window from the middle of the steering wheel to the a piller, does not clear up and you are forced to wipe off the frost by hand all the time. It is very hard to see and is unsafe.
A part for the power windows fails due to pressure on it(according to the service manager) allowing the window to drop. This has occurred on three of the four windows now (the third happened today) I come out of work and the window is down. Fortunately the weather was good during these occurrences. And no one apparently noticed as the walked by it. I have asked them to replace the fourth one while they are doing the third but they said they couldn't fix it until it breaks. I told them that I am tired of taking off work to get this fixed. This car is only two years old. They told me it happens all the time. I can't take a chance that someone won't see it down and get in.
