Known issues on the 2008 Liberty. Five recalls are on federal record for this model year: a suspension fault that can cause a loss of effective lift and lowering of the vehicle, windshield glass that can separate while driving and strike another vehicle or a pedestrian, a parking brake that can let the vehicle move inadvertently and cause a crash without warning, a failing or inoperative windshield wiper motor that reduces driver visibility, and a driveshaft that can break and strike the transfer case tunnel. Owners have filed 764 complaints and Jeep has issued 24 technical service bulletins for the year.

From a routine service interval to a hard-to-trace fault, it keeps you on the factory procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2008 Liberty.
