I was hit on my passenger front, while attempting to cross into a parking lot, so hard until my tire rod bent at a 90* angle. My passenger airbag didn't deploy. None of my airbags deployed. There was no blind spot warning. Even after the impact, there was no alarm or notification of the damage, as the firemen were attempting to drive my car out of the road.

Sky slider roof broken, will not open nor close. I have to put a tarp over my jeep to keep the rain out. Cannot be repaired due to no parts available. The possibility for this roof to fly off while driving at high speeds is real. Chrysler/jeep needs to remedy this problem.

The sky slider on my jeep is broken cause leaking when it rains. Called multiple dealerships and companies that say they don't have any replacement parts or pieces to fix the issue. There is a social media group that shows many other jeep liberty's that have the same issue and due to the top being broken, tops have flown off while on highway causing damage to vehicle-major safety hazard. I'm going to continue to call around and see if I can find a resolution but I'm praying my top stays on until then. In the photos, you can see where I had to clamp the top shift which has slowed the leaking for now.

I purchased a 2012 jeep liberty with a slider roof. When attempting to close the slider using the controls, the roof would no longer close completely, which has caused water damage to the interior of the vehicle and I would imagine may have also caused electrical issues. Things like the dash lights, wipers, and seat randomly come on on their own. My concern, and from the research I have done on this issue, is that the roof is not securely attached which is concerning when you are driving at higher speeds on the pike or rt 128. Just last week when driving my daughter back to college, there were several loud clicking noises while we were on rt 128 and I honestly thought the roof was going to fly off. This appears to have been a known issue by jeep chrysler and is a real safety hazard that they are not willing or able to correct.

I own a 2012 jeep liberty jet with a slider roof. This is a specific type of roof that I just found out that in feb 2019 has been discontinued. My roof does not work and not only is it leaking it will not close all the way. When I drive on the highway it begins to come open even when I have it taped down. I have a huge fear that it is going to fly off while driving over 65mph. If this should happen again (it started to happen one time and luckily I had a friend in the front seat who was able to hold it down) I fear someone could really get hurt or even killed. Jeep is taking no responsibility for this issue with this type of roof and no longer even offers the parts to fix it. I have been told that I would have to seek a 3rd party and the roof would need to be soldered off and replaced, but they would not do it nor would they offer any sort of compensation for the ill-constructed product. This is not right! I am not alone with this issue and I do not want to see anyone get hurt for a very important part of a car not working.

The sky slider roof became detached when driving on a highway. My children were in the car when this happened. The only parts available to fix this issue is an aftermarket product. This concerns me due to not knowing how well this part is made. Considering chrysler has taken the parts off of the market, it appears they are aware of the defects and safety issues. I am unable to drive my car for fear the roof will blow off while I am driving it. There are no recalls currently for this and I am shocked.
