POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
FIRST OF ALL, I ONLY HAVE 39,100 MILES ON MY JEEP LIBERTY. HAVING SAID THAT, ON THE DATE LISTED BELOW IT WAS FOUND THAT MY JEEP HAD A FAULTY VALVE SPRING IN THE 2ND CYLINDER. COST ME QUITE A BIT OF MONEY TO REPAIR. HOW IN THE WORLD DOES THIS HAPPEN TO A BRAND NEW CAR WITH ONLY A LITTLE OVER 39,000 MILES ON IT? SOUND LIKE FAULTY PARTS TO ME.*AK

TIRES
2004 JEEP LIBERY LIMITED 4WD, VIN 1J8-GL58KX4W-255517, TIRES: GOODYEAR EAGLE R-SA P235/70R16, MILEAGE: APPROX. 1,000 (APPROX 1 MONTH OLD). *AK REAR END OF CAR SKIDS DANGEROUSLY IN LOW-SPEED TURNS, ON NORMALLY WET (NOT PUDDLED) ROADS, WHEN IN 2WD. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE LAST 3 WEEKS, ALWAYS IN SLOW-SPEED SUBURBAN DRIVING. (THANK GOD.) SKID HAPPENS WHEN YOU MAKE EITHER A RIGHT OR LEFT HAND TURN, AND THEN APPLY GAS DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN (AS YOU DO TO MAINTAIN SPEED IN A LOW-SPEED TURN) AT WHICH TIME, THE REAR WHEELS LOSE TRACTION AND SKID TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE TURN. I UNDERSTAND THE GOODYEAR EAGLE R-SA TIRES ARE POOR IN THE WET TRACTION DEPT, BUT THIS MUST BE A SPECIALLY-BAD BATCH, BECAUSE THIS SKID OCCURS SO READILY. DEALER SERVICE MANAGER (GEORGETOWN JEEP, GEORGETOWN, CT) ADMITS THAT WET WEATHER TRACTION IS A PROBLEM FOR THE LIBERTY AND HE SAYS "WE ADVISE USING 4 WD WHEN THE ROADS ARE WET." WELL THIS FLOORED ME! NO ONE TOLD US THAT WHEN THE CAR WAS DELIVERED. AND THE OWNERS MANUAL DOES NOT SAY THIS. CHRYSLER/JEEP SAYS THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING MORE. THEY WILL NOT HAVE THE TIRES TESTED, FOR EXAMPLE.

SUSPENSION, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAVE A JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED 2003 LEASED ON OCTOBER 2002. IVE HAD TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE SEVEN TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE DEALER HAS NOT REPAIRED IT. THE PROBLEM IS THAT WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS ANYWHERE FROM 30 - 65 AND WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP THE VEHICLE WILL START TO BUCK AND HESITATE, THE SPEEDOMETER WILL SWING BACK AND FORTH AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOSES SPEED AND THEN REGAINS IT. I'VE ALMOST BEEN HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE PALISADES PARKWAY ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE FAILURE STARTED ON APRIL 28,2004 AT 32,000 MILES IT NOW HAS 34,600 MILES AND IT HAS REOCCURRED AFTER ALL SEVEN TIMES OF GOING IN FOR REPAIR OF SAME CONDITION AFTER THE DEALERSHIP AT CENTRAL AVE CHRYSLER JEEP IN YONKERS,CLAIMS TO HAVE REPAIRED IT. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY BY PROPERLY REPAIRING OR REPLACING VEHICLE. *AK
