Liberty 6-cyl

  • 42,000 miles
The sky slider roof on my 2008 Jeep Liberty began to open due to the wind flow at highway speed. I pulled off of the highway to attempt to close the roof. I was unable to close the roof as it appeared to be off its' tracks. I took surface roads home as I was concerned about the roof's stability at high speeds. Once home we were able to close the roof most of the way manually. I reseached this problem and found multiple cases of this roof failing. In some cases the roof actually flew off and caused an accident. Apparently Chrysler is aware of the problem but has not issued a recall. Any assistance you can give me is greatly appreciated. I am very concerned about this roof's stability, especially at highway speeds.
