I bought a new 06 liberty renegade with and automatic transmission 9 months ago. Last weekend the transmission failed while i was on a major highway. The thing only had 12000 miles on it. Chrysler told the dealer i took it to(5 miles in 1st gear-when it decided to move at all)to replace the whole transmission. They told me they found metal shardes in the transmssion?? All this while i was on vacation. The only compensation i got was a local car rental. True, I declined the extra-protection plan at purchase. I ended up getting a rental out of pocket to drive home. My jeep is still 2 states away awaitng a new transmission from michigan. Jeep wont cover my travel expenses to pick it up either. Piss poor customer service that wont stand behind their product cuz they know its flawed. This latest recall tops it off. Anyone else had transmission problems within the first few months. This has ruined my jeeps reliability in my eyes. |

It was in and out of the shop for the majority of 3 weeks, which cost me over $600 in rental car fees.  Needless to say, they could never find out what the problem was, and they weren't about to give me anything for my troubles. |

Replying to: travisual (Aug 03, 2006 9:23 am)  I have an 05 Liberty with 14k. It's currently at the dealer for the second time with tranny issues. The first time was about a month or so ago, the car would shake when changing gears. They told me it was an internal transmission issued, Chrysler comped me a rental for over a week and that was that, or so I thought. Last night the jeep completely died out on me as I awaited a green light in the middle of rush hour traffic. I initially thought I was rearended because of the impact when the tranny froze up. It was towed to the dealer and this morning I called to get clearance for a rental and they said Chyrsler no longer will flip the bill for it. So I too am out of pocket for the rental...they can do whatever they want with that jeep, I'm all set. I told the manager I'm not stepping foot back in that thing. Back to a sedan I go!

WARNING-DEATH BY JEEEP LIBERTY. Coming Out of Gear. PLEASE, If anyone has experienced a similar problem please contact me rockinghamcafe yahoo.com I pulled in front of my in laws house. Put my jeep in park unbuckled my seat belt, and leaned into back seat and adjusted my baby’s head because she had fallen asleep in route. I then exited my jeep walked in front and around the jeep to the front door. I stood there a few minutes talking to my mom in law. I then saw my jeep DRIVING AWAY by its self! It just took off. No one was even near it. In turn, I ran after it. It hit a flower bed which made turn and go down a 30ft incline into a freezing pond. I jumped in and swam out to her my father in law heard me screaming. He swam out, we couldn’t open the doors the speed had picked up enough to make the automatic lock to lock! My baby was inside drowning. The lock on the doors finally pop open. I give God the credit {but some people say the electrical stuff got wet and it made it unlock.} But then it was too late. The water pressure was to strong & I couldn’t open the door .My father in law was smart enough to pull himself on top of the jeep causing it to tilt enough for me to open the door. I almost drowned & so did my baby we all ended up in ICU but my father in law DIED he had a massive heart attach in the water and died helping to save my baby! When I got her out he was face down in the water! I had NO choice but to try to swim back to the docks and save my baby! Chrysler had a recall on 05 & 06 because of a misplaced part in the transmission. Over 400,000 of them. Chrysler SAID it didn’t apply to 04’s. I found out ALL transmissions for 03,04,05 &06 were and are the same. They all were assembled from the same product line. Chrysler even sent a their people across country to look at my jeep. Why would they do that if the KNEW it only applied to 2005 & 2006??? I know for a fact my car was in park that night! Something went WRONG with the jeep. My statue of limitations for court expires Jan. 07. My time is running out to get justice for my mother in law! I am desperately looking for someone who has had similar trouble with the transmission. Please contact me & BE CAREFULL! PARENTS BEWARE JEEP LIBERTYS CAN come out of gear when ignition is left running, ACCELERATE AND DRIVE OFF BY ITSELF!!! M.Troxler

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Oct 15, 2006 8:33 pm) I have a 2005 Jeep CRD . First a run down of problems, 1)Oct. Front ball joint recall. Had to replace leaking rear seal. 2) Fail injector, took 5 days for the dealership to get a part. I was out of town and had to get a motel and rental car. 3) Nov.Failure of repaired rear unit took 3 days to repair, another rental car. 4) F37 recall done. 5) 17 days later, loud bang, engine light on, can't shift past 3rd gear, towed away from home. 5) 8 days later, no word on the repair of the transmission. Living in NC, not sure if this qualifies for the lemon law. Any help here? Regards  ">link title
