ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:DIESEL
MY JEEP LIBERTY WITH THE DIESEL ENGINE PERFORMED WELL FOR THE FIRST THREE MONTHS, THEN UPON ACCELERATING TO ENTER A FREEWAY IT SPUTTERED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE DEALERSHIP REPAIRED IT BY REPLACING THE EGR VALVE AND ASSOCIATED COMPONENTS. THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED ON IN ANOTHER 4 MONTHS, AND AGAIN 4 MONTHS. EVERY TIME THE EGR VALVE WAS REPLACED. THE LAST OCCURRENCE WAS IN NOVEMBER 2006. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
***UNSAFE CONDITION WITH 2005 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED CRD TRANSMISSION***** DUE TO FAILURE OF TRANSMISSION TO PROPERLY LOCK-UP AT OVERDRIVE AT 50-55 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUDDERS, AND HAS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS CONDITION THAT IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THERE ARE ONLY 11,000 DIESEL JEEP LIBERTIES IN PRODUCTION, AND I THINK A RECALL IS NECESSARY IMMEDIATELY TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY AS THE 2005 AND 2006 MODELS BEGIN TO EXPERIENCE AN INCREASE IN FAILURES. *NM

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2004 JEEP LIBERTY, VEHICLE SEEMS TO UPSHIFT TOO EARLY AND WHEN TRAVELING IN THE 45-60 MPH RANGE FOR A MINUTE OR SO, I CAN STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL ALMOST TO THE FLOOR BEFORE IT DOWN SHIFTS VERY ABRUPTLY AND THEN WHINES OUT RPMS. IT DOES THIS GOING UP INCLINED ROADS ALSO, BUT NOT DOWNSHIFTING PROPERLY UNTIL I STEP ON THE GAS VERY HARD. (THE INCIDENT DATE HERE IS DECEIVING, IT'S BEEN DOING IT FOR 2 YRS NOW AND THE DEALER CAN'T GET IT TO DO IT, OR FIGURE IT OUT AND I'M CONCERNED THAT MY TRANS/DRIVE TERRAIN WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER THIS IF SOMETHING FAILS AS A RESULT). *NM

SUSPENSION
I WAS DRIVING MY MOTHER'S JEEP LIBERTY ON THURSDAY MORNING AND I ACCIDENTALLY VEERED OVER TO THE RIGHT AND WENT OVER A SANDBAG ON THE ROAD. THE CAR FLIPPED OVER AND SPUN OUT OF CONTROL AND I WAS UNABLE TO GRASP ANY CONTROL OF THE CAR. THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY TOTALED. HOWEVER, I DO FEEL THAT THIS LOSS WAS NOT A CAUSE OF HIT SUCH A SMALL OBJECT ON THE ROAD BUT RATHER THAT THE SUSPENSION ON THIS SUV WAS NOT REINFORCED PROPERLY. I WAS NOT AWARE AT THE TIME, UNTIL AFTER RESEARCHING THIS VEHICLE THAT A RECALL WAS FOUND FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL. *NM
