Liberty 6-cyl

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.

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.

The heating element in the front passenger heated seat has started to burn through the seat. I brought the vehicle to the dealership and because the car is beyond the 3 yr/36,000 miles warranty, Chrysler will not cover the repair. I am concerned that someone could be burned or that the seat could catch fire because of this issue and believe it is enough of a safety concern to file a complaint.

The contact owns a 2008 Jeep Liberty. The contact stated that the smart key that regulated the driver seat failed. The key was uses to move the driver seat in place to accommodate the driver. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on numerous occasions but the failure persisted. The dealer tested the keys by removing the chip and replacing it with a new chip but to no avail. The manufacturer was contacted who stated that they had spoken with the dealer and they were unable to repair the failure. They offered no further assistance. The failure mileage was 36,135.
