TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SKY SLIDER ROOF FAILED TO OPEN AND WATER WAS LEAKING INTO THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SANTA MONICA CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (3219 SANTA MONICA BLVD, SANTA MONICA, CA 90404, 877-869-9640) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SKY SLIDER ROOF NEEDED TO BE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE PARTS WERE ON BACKORDER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE SKY SLIDER ROOF BEGAN TO SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TAPED THE SKY SLIDER SHUT; HOWEVER, WATER BEGAN TO SEEP THROUGH THE TAPE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE TURN SIGNALS, WINDOWS, AND DRIVER SIDE DOOR PANEL BECAME INOPERABLE OVER TIME. THE LOCAL DEALER (ATLANTIC CHRYSLER JEEP, 6820 TILTON ROAD, EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP, NJ 08234) WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE FAILURE WOULD RECUR IF REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A MILDEW ODOR WAS PRESENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 54,000.

THE HEATER CORE ON THE LIBERTY BECAME PARTIALLY BLOCKED. THE HEATER CORE IS NOT SERPENTINE IN DESIGN. INSTEAD, IT HAS A SERIES OF PIPES THAT CONNECT THE TANKS ON BOTH ENDS. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE BOTTOM OF THE HEATER CORE PLUGS UP. WATER CAN STILL PASS THROUGH THE UPPER PIPES, HOWEVER. SO THE TOP HALF OF THE HEATER CORE GETS HOT AND THE BOTTOM HALF DOES NOT. THE HAZARD HERE IS THAT THE WAY THE HEATER CORE IS POSITIONED IN THE AIR BOX, THE AIR THAT BLOWS OVER THE TOP HALF GOES TO THE PASSENGER SIDE. SO THE AIR THAT GOES TO THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE CAR IS THE AIR THAT BLEW OVER THE COLD, BOTTOM HALF OF THE HEATER CORE. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD CAN'T BE DEFOGGED/DEFROSTED AND IF YOU ARE DRIVING ALONG AND A SNOW EVENT STARTS, YOU CAN QUICKLY...

THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.
