I have a 2011 jeep liberty with a sky slider, the slider no longer operates and it leaks water the dealership says it will charge 150 just to look at but not fix I have read that many owners are having this same issue. Slider roof also makes a lot of noise while closed on highway like it going to fly off.
2011 Jeep Liberty body complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 17 of 17, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Driving on highway, began hearing a high pitched humming noise, began smelling a burning rubber smell, pulled over to side of highway, and smoke began coming from under the hood. Within 10 mins, the front end of the vehicle was completely engulfed in flames. Have owned vehicle for a year and a half, and have had no issues prior to this incident. Car seemed to be functioning normally prior to this incident.
#1 problem, after driving in wet weather, "gate open" illuminates on dash, interior lights all come on, then when I get stopped turn off car and lock it, within about 5 minutes alarm starts going off, shut off alarm, within a few minutes usually will go off again, usually have to take anything of value with me because the only way to make the alarm not sound is to keep it unlocked. #2 problem, opened back passenger door, button stuck in, wouldn't release, had to tie the door shut to be able to drive to dealer, tech came out and stuck a knife in a little hole to release button, informing me that latch was rusted on inside and whole assembly will have to be replaced. The jeep is 4 years old, body in excellent condition no rust at all, cost to replace this is 179.00. Not covered under the 2,000 dollar warranty that they talked me into when I bought the car. Its called the ultimate warranty. I'm sure the alarm issue isn't covered either.. Very low quality vehicle that I paid way too much for.
When filling gas tank fuel gushes from fuel fill tube before fuel filling nozzle shuts off, happens every time unless you manually fill fuel tank very slowly. Outten motors in (hamburg, pa) told me fuel roll over valve is bad, fuel tank replacement required, cost would be $1051.73.
Gate light indicator appeared on dash. This has happened several times since - usual during moist weather conditions. Also, for no reason, the back gate latch has either come apart or broke.
At speed above 55 or in heavy winds the sound of air coming through the sunroof can be very disconcerting. Turning up the radio to hear it becomes a must. The sudden gusts cause you to take your eyes off the road at times. With the increased noise it becomes increasingly difficult to hear outside noise which could easily become a safety concern. The local jeep dealer says there is no fix, and not to worry unless it leaks. He also stated he had seen this problem before. My call to customer service ( I have the ref # if needed) resulted in much the same discourse. [xxx] was nice enough but did not have a satisfactory answer to my dilemma. He certainly would not admit to a design flaw with no way to tighten the soft sunroof down. Nor is there presently a hard top to eliminate the problem, he indicated when I pressed him. This moving air noise is already a distraction and if it gets louder I hate to think what might occur. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
