The security horn will go off for no reason and if you place the key in the ignition that wont stop it. I have read several reviews and other have had this problem. It cost me $380 to get a new key fob and the reset the computer system.
The problems started with the new battery going dead for no reason until I installed security cameras on our house and saw the head lights would randomly turn on and off running the battery dead when the car was parked in the driveway. Then the windshield wipers would come on and not turn off and sometimes the car wouldn't start and when it did on these events it would shake acting like it was running out of gas
My car is possessed the horn goes off, the lock continuously lock and unlock, the wipers won't stop, and the horn beeps! it happens very sparaticly it hasn't happened in months then it statred up again today! there are many people that are having this same problem and I don't understand why there isn't a recall this is reduculous! it won't stop when I drive and it won't stop unless it sits for a while or I disconnect the battery!
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.
A piece fell from under the seat which makes the seat feel loose. The side control panel for moving the seat back and forth does not give full control of adjusting the seat. The key less remote will not lock and unlock my doors. I have to use manual locks. I took it to be looked at, I was advised ground wires were crossing and blowing out a fuse/relay. The mophar skyliner sunroof is off track. There is a manufacturer defect in the sunroof. Chrysler has not issued a recall yet several Jeep are having and have had this issue. It is $300 for a new roof which will break/go off track within 2 years. Or $6000 to repair the roof I have which still does not guarantee it will break/go off track again. The roof opens on it's own while I am driving causing exposure to outside weather. I have read from other customers that the roof has flown off while driving which can cause injuries to the passengers in vehicle and/or driving around the vehicle.

Car horn goes off, locks continously lock and unlock, windshield wipers go off, wiper fluid sprays out, lights blink off and on. Only way to stop it is to unhook the battery. To get this to completely stop is to do a hard reset of the fuse box and hope it doesn't happen again. This has happened 6 times starting in 2015. Never knew what the problem was until I googled this. I purchased this car brand new, it did happen after the first 2 years while driving but I thought it was just a fluke until it started happening more and more then never stopped on it's own. Can't believe there has never been a recall on this problem
We were leaving for a trip and got about 200 feet from our front door and the windshield wipers started going on their own, there was windshield fluid coming out and the horn was honking. The car was running but we were at a stop. We shut the car off and started it back up and it stopped. We started our trip and realized that the electrical outlet no longer would stay on and the doors would not operate with the remote. We stopped at an auto parts store to use their code checker and we got a read error and the car never started again. We were 70 miles from home, cost us $300 to have the car towed. We had the tipm replaced for a mere $840, the doors still do not operate with the remote and it is back in the shop. Very frustrated at this point.
It starts but doesn't crank, warning lights and codes flash, ABS shuts down when stopping at a stop light, lose of power while driving, skipping stationary and in motioneas and bas plus check engine light, I have to shut off all electrical buttons for car to start, over heats only when idle, replaced alternator and battery and still and starts and won't crank,
Bought the vehicle in va on 2/19/18, driving home to me and after 50 miles in rain the horn started going off every time the wipers moved. Pushed the horn button and the washer fluid started squirting out. Was able to pull over and had to shut the Jeep off then was able to continue. Stopped in ct for gas and got back on the interstate and the all lights turned off on the outside but all the dash warning lights turned on, wipers turned on, horn turned on, washer fluid sprayer went continuously and the motor would stop and start on its own, while moving! luckily, made it to the side of the road and turned the ignition off but all electrical components continued to go off randomly then the car would not restart. After turning the key on and off multiple times, moving the shifting lever, pulling fuses from the panel under the hood and putting them back in it started running again. This happened a second time about 100 miles later. Was able to get the car back to me but after I shut the Jeep off and started it back up the horn and wipers started going off without any switches being touched. Looked this issue up online and found that this is a very common problem for Jeep/Dodge/Chrysler vehicles made in and around this time. Had a recall been done I would have known this was a possible issue and been able to make a better choice of a car to buy for my daughter. There was a real danger of getting into an accident when all of the lights went out while driving in the rain on a busy interstate and then the motor turning off and on while in traffic.
I was driving on a main highway and all lights started to flash. All needles started to jump around and then everything went black and car died including no flashers. Battery was replaced a month before with yearly inspection the month before as well.
Sky slider roof pours water into dash and steering component. Power steering has be disabled on several occasions while driving vehicle. When water pours in it saturates both driver and dashboard area running down steering column into the components. In addition, the lift of the roof causes vehicle to swerve when driving on interstate. Noise created by this defect prevents driver from hearing emergency vehicles.
My tipm went out on my 2008 Liberty, a few weeks ago, windshield wipers turned on by themselves, horn blowing by its self, the Jeep doesn't turn off even when the key isn't in the ignition, also the hazard lights turn on by themselves. It gotten to the point that the Jeep stopped in the middle of the road while I was driving. This is a very dangerous malfunction that cost a lot to fix and it isn't covered under my extended warranty. Chrysler should have recalled 2008 -2012 Jeep liberties also.
On 11/22/2017 I parked 5 spaces from the front door of meijer on E.Michigan ave in jackson, mi. As my esa animal remained in the vehicle I left the car running and heat on low. I was in the store about 3 minutes. By the time I returned to the vehicle I was informed by a bystander my vehicle was on fire and help was on the way. I asked about my dog and was told no one had seen him. I frantically searched the car for (nagini) my dog causing 3rd degree burns on my hands.I was able to retrieve him from the Jeep. He was unconscious and unresponsive. I began cpr and he was resuscitated. But sadly nagini died from his injuries 2 days later.
Car won't start. None of the electrical works. Dealer tells me it's defective tipm. It's very expensive and dangerous. I have seen multiple people online complaining about the same problem and I don't understand why there has been no recall on this vehicle for this problem. We were stationary when the vehicle power stopped working thank god. But I seen online where some people had the tipm problem while driving which is very dangerous.
I've had my Jeep for 2.5 years now. When I first got it, everything was fine and it was inspected prior to purchase. For the past year, the airbag light will come on and off on its own. At first it was intermittent, but for the past 6 months, it is constantly on when the vehicle is running. In addition, about 6 months ago, while driving about 25 mph on a dark, winding road, the horn started sounding and the windshield wipers began running at full speed. I put the car in park, turned it off and then on again, and it stopped. This has not happened again since.
Electrical issues is occuring with my 2008 Jeep Liberty. There has been times the car does not start at all. Happens anytime of the day. After several tries, it starts. Have switched ou the battery and checked the starter/alternator. Sometimes the inside lights turn on by themselves. Has stalled in the middle of the rode. Hard to manevuer.
The contact owns a 2008 Jeep Liberty. While driving 20 mph, the horn and windshield wipers continued to operate independently. In addition, the contact stated that the windshield wiper fluid continued to spew out and failed to shut off. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but the failure was unable to be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 98,000.
Amongst other issues: Vehicle fails to start occasionally, from both cold and warm states. From completely off, turning the key begins ignition but often does not start the vehicle. Engine sputters but does not complete the start. On some occasions, depressing the gas pedal while trying to start the vehicle works, leading me to believe this is one of the widely reported tipm issues plaguing Jeep from 2007-2014. I conclude the fuel pump fails to receive a signal to start from the tipm which causes the ignition failure. In addition, I have had multiple electrical issues including doors locking and unlocking when the opposite corresponding buttons are pressed, windshield wipers turning on when the turn signal is used, warning lights on the dashboard reporting non-issues, failure of power steering, and failure to accelerate when the gas pedal is depressed. Please address this issue as soon as possible.
My car has been honking and all the window wipers go off sporadically when driving. This has happened on the highway, in standstill traffic and stopped at a red light. It has happened about 4 times in the last 2 months. It is not only embarrassing but it makes us nervous that the issue could get worse and lead to an accident in the future. We took it to pep boys and were told they can't diagnose it. I then contacted crysler and they just told me to take it to a dealership. I did and the dealership didn't know how to fix it but sent us a quote for $3500 worth of other stuff we don't need fixed! my husband just picked up the car and it honked/window wipered 3 times in a 15 minute ride home. We are expecting our first baby any day now and are very nervous about the safety of the car. No one is willing to help at this point.
