#51 of 2253 kicking into lower gear by winbro Aug 18, 2001 (3:29 pm)
I took my liberty on I-84 today and the return trip home features a 3 mile uphill mountain climb. you know, the kind where semi's can only be in the right lane cause they can only make 40-45 mph? keeping your post in mind, I started up the hill & after about 1/2 mile, backed off the gas (I was doing 65 at the time and holding that nicely). I took it down to 50 then put the gas on to try to kick in the lower gear. It worked fine. I got back up to 65 & kept it there. This in 2wd & with the a/c on.
#52 of 2253 I'll be watching and waiting on the Liberty by jefferson1964 Aug 18, 2001 (11:41 pm)
I want to see how this jeep turns out. My sisters and a good friend had Cherokees that had bad oil leaks that never could seem to get fixed. I know this is a different vehicle but just want to make sure there are not a disproportionate number of horror stories like the JGC. I like the Liberty and want to purchase one but will bide my time.
#53 of 2253 Liberty gas mileage by yippyia Aug 21, 2001 (8:28 am)
If you have been getting 16 to 18mpg you're doing great. My average for in city driving is 13mpg and highway has been 15mpg (with combined ac usage).

You mean besides the independent front suspension?
#55 of 2253 Bad Luck or Junk? by rig70 Aug 26, 2001 (11:07 pm)
Just purchased a new LTD Liberty two weeks ago. On the way home from the dealer I tried to roll the window up and the front of the glass tilted down. I had to hold up on the front to get it to shut. Anyway I scheduled to take it in to get it fixed a week later. Also I noticed there was a slight shimmy in the steering which I had them check while it was in the shop. They had found that the window had detached from the front rail and the Jeep was out of alignment. Which I accepted as minor problems--until on the way home from the shop the transmission locked between gears and would not go anywhere. I had to get it towed back to the dealer for repair. They ordered a new transmission to replace the defective one. The Jeep had only 570 miles on it when this happened. Since the Jeep had not been officially registered with the state I demanded a new one, which the dealer did back me up after many phone calls. I received a new Liberty and had it only 4 days and 900 miles today. This time the rear window fell completely off the tracks into the door. Now I have to take the 2nd Jeep in for repair. I feel like I did receive a lemon the first time but is there an excuse for the second one? Maybe I should of went with the RAV-4 instead.

Yikes!! You've got to be kidding! No problems with mine yet (ltd 4x4 off road - 900miles) but I do have a slight shimmy at high speed (tire balancing?) and the car pulls to the right at low speed (possibly due to 4x4?) - haven't taken it off road yet, I'll let you know if the windows fall off the tracks.
#57 of 2253 water leak by kdeuce Aug 27, 2001 (5:55 pm)
Got my Liberty 3 weeks ago, and just yesterday I noticed the passenger side floor (front and back) completely soaked. I saw previous posts regarding this problem, but I was wondering if anyone got a "fix" for this problem from their service dept. Thanks for any help.
#58 of 2253 WOW on the problems by jefferson1964 Aug 28, 2001 (7:43 pm)
Im glad to see jeep gave u a new vehicle, something honda would not do for me with 1k on my 2001 civic that was a lemon and engin went out. Anyway to have problems like that with 2 different vehicles seems to show a reliabilty problem that probably will be taken care of like the first escapes that had 6 recalls. I waited 7 months out to get an escape and only have minor problems. Im watching this board as i like the look and feel of the liberty. Good Luck.
#59 of 2253 rear end jolt by winbro Aug 29, 2001 (3:45 am)
maybe someone can advise me on this as to what it might be - just started yesterday.   when braking from 45 to zero to stop at an intersection or stop light, when It gets around 10mph or less, there is a jolt (like a jerking) from the rear end as I continue to slow to a stop.   I am in 2wd   something that just needs an adjustment?

Take to a dealership and get one of the managers/techs to ride with you and recreate the problem. It could be something with the rear suspension, brakes, etc. I'd get it checked out.
