#14 of 53 Re: Malfunction Indicator Light [farout] by reeleviltwin Dec 04, 2006 (8:43 am)
Replying to: farout (Nov 12, 2006 12:40 pm) I've been having that recurring problem for over a year now. I keep bringing it back to the dealership and they always diagnose a completely different problem, so I'm still stumped. Elsewhere on this forum someone posted a great link to download a table that allows you to diagnose what the malfunction light means by turning the ignition key on and off - it'll get your odometer to read the specific error code the sensor is responding to. Try that and then bring it to the shop.   good luck.

Replying to: reeleviltwin (Nov 09, 2006 1:25 pm) I don't know to what extent all DC products are similar but my brother had a similar problem on a Dodge Stratus at 140k miles. It was worse in damp weather. After spending $250 a pop at several dealers he finally went to a dealer that found the problem. They replaced the wiring harness that feeds the coils on the spark plugs saying those wires are subject to "carbon tracking". This may be way off. It just sounds similar. If the new "ingnition coils" that were installed included new wiring then this is not the problem.

i have an 02 KJ with 93k miles and has recently been giving me headaches. the extent of my mechanical ability stops at changing fluids and plugs. check engine light comes on and i lose power. i pull off the road, turn the key off for a while and start up down the road again. it seems to happen going uphill, when i'm on the throttle. my garage (not a jeep dealer) has had my rig 5 times over the past month. their computer diagnostic has been the same every time - misfire #3 cyl. they replaced the coil and plug, but the problem remains and is getting worse. the local dealer can't get me in for 2 weeks. i've read the similar postings and i understand now the problem could be many things. this is my only vehicle and i'm limping it to and from work every day. unfortunately the warranty expired after 5 yrs. any advice?    thank you in advance, jc
#17 of 53 valve problems with Liberty by madiscl Jul 10, 2007 (8:12 am)
i recently had a similar problem with my 2006 Liberty and it worsened to the point that it felt as though my Liberty was going to stall (both while idling and while accelerating); eventually, my "check engine" light came on so i took it in to the dealership. it turns out that there was excessive carbon deposits on the valves and all of the valves had to be replaced. and this is not the first time my dealer has had this problem. luckily, mine was covered by warranty. i suggest you ask your dealer to check your valves.

Replying to: reeleviltwin (Nov 09, 2006 1:25 pm) There has been a safety recall on all jeep liberty vehicles 2002 through 2006 on the lower ball joints. That is what is causing your car to shake and if they are not replaced the ball joints can detach and you will lose all control of your steering wheel and may cause you to get into an accident.   The number to call is 18883274236

Back in 2005, I bought my wife a used 2002 Jeep Liberty Limited. She's loved it and currently has 89k on it. Periodically since we've had it, the check engine light comes on. 1st time took it back to the dealer and they chalked it up to the gas cap not being on correctly. So, we've been able to clear that with taking the cap off and putting it back on. Over the past weekend, I used it to take the trash to the dump; check engine light was on. When I got back, one of the bags had leaked and it smelled so I left all the windows open to air it out; including the back window. I also took off the gas cap and remounted it. My daughter went to go use it and the battery was low; the front interior lights stay on when the back window is up. I fiddled with it for a while and eventually got it started... however, it would not idle. After cleaning the airfilter and checking everything, I tried again and it started and would idle... check engine light was out. My daughter borrowed it to go out that night and filled it up; it previously had a little over a quarter of a tank. It ran fine all night. Since her Kia is dead, my daughter borrowed it again and was going to use it until the Kia is fixed... she was on an interstate on the way home when she lost power and it stopped. We had it towed to a local shop (owned by family). This morning they tell me the engine is shot and it will be $5300. to fix it! I've maintained it religiously with regular oil & filter changes. I expected the air filter to be changed last time but Midas didn't do it. Has anyone else had a similar problem? Sorry I don't have more info on the problem because the wife has been in contact with the garage this morning. Just checking things out. A new Jasper engine is about $4k...

#22 of 53 Stallin ang Rough Idle by msager Sep 19, 2007 (3:53 am)
I have an 04 Jeep Liberty with a 6 cyl. It stopped on the way home the day before yesterday, stalling at stop lights . I would have to put it into neutral and keep the engine revved to get it home. This occurred after it was running for about 20 minute. It also would not let the engine get over 2000 RPM, if you stepped on the gas it felt like it was choking out and would start bucking and acting up. We got it home , and noticed a clicking sound coming from under the hood. I traced it to the fuse box, the ASD rely was clicking in and out. (Automatic Shutdown) It is actually the same rely that runs the blower motor, so I switched them and it did fine , and I was able to get home. The next day it ran for twenty minutes and acted the same way again. Does anyone have any ideas? Unfortunately this is my only vehicle Replies to this message: nccampbell34 (Apr 19, 2008 5:04 am)
