Consumer Description

2009 JEEP LIBERTY WITH THE "SKYSLIDER" ROOF (RETRACTABLE). WHILE INCREASING VEHICLE SPEED ON A HIGHWAY ROAD, ONE OF THE FOUR (4) ARMS THAT SECURES THE ROOF TO THE TOP OF THE CAR, SHEERED. THE INCIDENT CAUSES THE ROOF TO COLLAPSE. FEARING FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHER DRIVERS NEARBY, I SLOWED MY VEHICLE TO 60 MPH. WHEN IT WAS SAFE FOR ME TO DO SO, I PULLED OVER TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. UPON INSPECTING THE ROOF, I CONCLUDED THAT THE BREAKAGE WAS LINKED TO AN ARM/LEVER, WHOSE COMPOSITION IS MAINLY CASTED ALUMINUM. THE VEHICLE WAS EVENTUALLY TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP. WHILE AT THE REPAIR SHOP, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING WITH THE SKYSLIDER ROOF AND THEY WERE SURPRISED TO SEE THAT CHRYSLER HAS YET TO ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL FOR THESE PARTICULAR MODELS. THE REPAIR FOR THIS ROOF WILL COST GREATER THAN $2,500. *TR
