#3 of 88 ESP light flashes and loss of power on highway need help fast by electrick Jan 08, 2007 (1:52 pm)
This is a 2006 Jeep Liberty sport 24000miles 3.7l Ok I was trying to merge onto beltway\highway traffic when I started to push the gas petal the ESP light started flashing {was not currently on} On and off {on the dash} and the car lost total power and started to decelerate {rpms stayed the same even know the petal was floored and there was no speed increase}. This lasted about 18sec. Then the rpms shot through the roof and the truck took off and the light stopped flashing. Conditions on the road were warm and dry. This seems to happen every morning now and afternoon and never when I have the service mang. in the car. They ran the computers and found no error codes. Has anyone else had this problem? I need some help because the dealership can't do anything unless the computer leaves an error code and my jeep may leave me in a situation that may leave me dead   update!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok if you have any info at all that might help me please post asap I am going to meet the head of Jeep's service department tomorrow and any other experiences with this or solutions I can offer him will be a great help. Also, I have found this problem usually happens when the jeep has either sat over night or all day while I work. If you turn the ESP on with the button on the steering column It seems to fix the problem but when you turn it back off it will start again for aprox 15 to 17 sec. I’ve counted   Replies to this message: jeta (Sep 20, 2007 11:15 am)
#4 of 88 New sensor by electrick Jan 13, 2007 (1:59 pm)
I got the dealership to finally agree that there was a problem and take my liberty in. Just 1 day later I have been told that it is fixed and that the problem was caused by the left rear wheel sensor. This morning on the way to work again when merging into traffic the ESP light started flashing and the same problem. This time it lasted only a few seconds. I am doubting myself slightly because it was misting\ light rain out. the possablity is there that the ESP system was doing what it was supose to. I will update after this weekend and let the fourm know if it happens again and if it really was the rear wheel sensor. I will say for a 5 star dealership I am very disapointed ! I have been disrespected, lied to ,and basiclly given the run around.
#5 of 88 not the ..... by electrick Jan 13, 2007 (2:00 pm)
Looks like the left rear wheel speed sensor wasn't the fix I had hoped for. Last night going to dinner, it happens again. Just tiring to accelerate on the highway and ESP light started flashing and loss of gas peddle and it seemed like the jeep was breaking. This was going on and off for about 5 miles. I did notice that when you turn on the ESP you do get back little control. Well its back to the dealer Monday. Replies to this message: farout (Jan 15, 2007 1:31 pm)

Replying to: electrick (Jan 13, 2007 2:00 pm) electrick: The ESP is on all 2006 Liberty's. The CRD is totally computer controled, and perhaps, they may have incorperated the esp into that control system. You might call some other 5 Star dealers and see if there might be a better quality service tec's. Hope this works for you.   Farout

#8 of 88 ESP causes vehicle to lose power by erzebet Mar 26, 2007 (12:37 pm)
Replying to: harmsway28 (Mar 26, 2007 10:06 am) Yes, yes, yes! Have 2006 Liberty Renegade purchased in November 2006. Vehicle chokes (loses power) around turns and on hard acceleration. Dealer acknowledged issue and says Chrysler is aware of the problem, which affects all 06 Liberty and Commander models. Has to do with ESP, dealer has been waiting for fix from Chrysler since November 2006! Replies to this message: electrick (Mar 29, 2007 1:39 am)

Replying to: erzebet (Mar 26, 2007 12:37 pm) My problem was from a differnt size tire. When I bought the 06 libby it was used with about 5000 miles on it. Long story short they replaced 3 of 4 of the tires so when the car was going around turns or even just forward on the highway it would just drastly slow down and basicly I had no gas pressure. When all trires were replaced after [fighting with the dealer for about a month] the libby now runs fine or great.
#10 of 88 Loss of power issue by pantheryvr Sep 20, 2007 (6:00 am)
I have also experienced a loss of power issue with my 2006 Jeep Liberty Diesel. Has now occurred probably about 8 times. Has always happened in the city at low driving speeds. The vehicle will remain with normal RPM, gas peddle floored, vehicle will proceed at a very slow speed and does not respond to changes in gas peddle movement. have not noted and ESP light though not to say I looked for it. In the past I have always shut down the vehicle and then restarted it and problem seems to have gone away. The last time this happened however, there was a very noticeable noise coming from the deep within the vehicle power train most likely transmission. Sounded like the transmission was falling apart. This time I had to shut the vehicle down twice for problem to disappear. Have not had time to take it in yet. Will keep posted as I investigate further.
