What owners wrote
I'm the original owner of a 2009 Jeep Liberty with a Skyslider roof that I barely used. I was driving when the Sky Slider roof suddenly blew open and back, snapping the cables and launching pieces of parts like missiles. It was a terrifying experience for me and my young children. I have dealt with the very loud wind noise for the past 12 years after having it evaluated several times by dealerships and being told there was nothing that could be done about it.
Skyslider flew back while driving on the freeway, almost caused an accident. Dealership said it would cost 4,000$ to fix, but they can't fix it regardless. I bought this jeep brand new for 35,000$ 40,000$ after interest. Ill never in my life buy a jeep again the hassle this has put me through. Especially the danger its caused. Almost killing my children & me.
