#79 of 84 Help! Urgent Responses Need Before I Spend too much money by dcmason

Apr 06, 2012 (11:05 am)

Subject: A/C on 2004 Jeep Liberty LE/4WD/221,500 miles
 
Last year my A/C went 'out.' I use that word loosely as it still 'works' intermittently. I took it in and they replaced the fan clutch but that didn't do the trick. Took it back several times for various adjustments but nothing dramatic - still doesn't work properly. Last visit - told compressor needs to be replaced. Got refund for all work done. Took it to another repair shop - ran A/C in shop for an hour - temps outside about 60 degrees, low humidity; worked fine - mechanic said windows started to frost over. Picked up Jeep - rode around for an hour - A/C worked fine - environment same outside.
 
Here is the scenario of latest trip made AFTER latest shop visit above. Outside temp - 74 degrees and rising, increasing humidity. Opened windows to let inside air circulate; turned A/C on - worked for approximately 45 minutes. Can tell when it cuts out - humidity smell in car and then of course air turns cool, then luke warm, then just hot. Blowers work fine. Nearing destination - turned A/C back on after being off for about three hours - worked for 20 minutes. Return trip - left at 0930 - temp in low 70's, low humidity - cold air blows fine - worked for one hour then off. Turned on three hours later - worked for 35 minutes - then off. And thus is my A/C life. Suggestions anyone? I do have one question - if the compressor is bad, wouldn't the A/C not work at all - anytime?

I have a 2003 liberty renegade my problem is ac only works on highest setting and only when driving, when i stop my ac stops working. I changed resistor and blower relay but I still have the same problem. I checked fan and it comes on and i can hear a clicking sound when I turn on ac.
Don't know what else to do in need of help

I was wondering if you have found the solution. I have been battling this exact problem for a year, I had to drive from TX to AL in Aug with hot air! I have replaced everything, hoses, clutch,switch, fan and compressor but still nothing. Like you said, in the morning or if it's cool a/c is fine but as soon as it hits the 70'S it's gone. Luckily the warranty covered most of it but it has been to 2 dealerships and a private mechanic. I'm getting very frustrated and very sweaty. My warranty will run out this winter and I want it fixed before it does so I'm not out $$$.

Unfortunately I never really solved it like I wanted to but when the temps consistently hit 100 degrees I relented. I ended up replacing the compressor and that did the trick. It still bothers me that I replaced something that actually worked. I know it worked because it would intermittently; except as described previously. I can't get over the fact it worked sometimes but not other times - it being the compressor. It either works or it doesn't in my book. All-in-all though I can't complain too much. I'm less than a thousand miles away from 230,000 miles on my 04 Liberty and this a/c issue plus a rear bearing are really the only two major things that have gone wrong (on third set of tires ... last two sets have been Michelin Cross Terrains). Good luck with the air - don't let the warranty run out on you (elevate up through Chrysler if you have to - before warranty runs out).

#83 of 84 A/C issues : 02 jeep liberty by jong818

Though I had this problem for months of '11, tried adding new freon but didn't work. Then my neighborhood mechanic noticed that my fan wasn't spinning 'strongly' during a routine oil change. He told me that my 'fan clutch' needs to be replaced and i went on with it, and suggested if i could have the belt replaced too. After the engine oil, fan clutch and belt, i went for a test ride, 150 miles to palm spring, ca and back - L.A. Then after 50 miles into the freeway, my wife tried the a/c and it was working crazy ! Though i never mentioned the A/C problem to the mechanic beforehand, things just worked as in EUREKA ! "This mean 3.7L machine" least to say say gave me the shivers !
 
255,000 m, 5w/30 synthetic, HOAT coolant, rear diff oil every 12,000 m, transmission synthetic oil every 13,000 m. Dunlop tires.
 
Question : what brand of spark plugs would you recommend ?
