We're consolidating several discussions relating to the driveline into a single topic which includes everything in the drivetrain after the engine and transmission.   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper
#4 of 75 Liberty '03 Noise from tail gate? by scheck Jul 10, 2005 (9:02 am)
I keep hearing a noise that seems to be coming from the rear door handle, latch area. It happens whenever I hit a bump where the rear tires are not exactly on the same level. Normal cracks in the road are not a problem. I've fiddled with the striker and stabilizer with no luck. Door seems solidly in place when closed. Nothing loose underneath the rear end. Recall completed on window mechanism. Metal stress?

#5 of 75 Anyone know of problems with Libertys slipping out of gear when parked? by aswain Jul 19, 2005 (4:37 pm)
Replying to: scheck (Jul 10, 2005 9:02 am) I was parked on the street and had gone inside for about 20 minutes. When I came out, my Jeep had just rolled about 50 feet and hit a construction truck. Punctured the grill, radiator and A/C system --- to the tune of $2,500. Weird thing was that the accident had just happened --- after the Jeep had been parked for 18-20 minutes. I've been driving manuals for 25 years and never had anything like that happen. A friend said she vaguely remembers a problem with Cherokees popping out of gear. Anyone know anything about Libertys?

Replying to: aswain (Jul 19, 2005 4:37 pm) sorry too hear about your mishap,but didn't you put your E-brake on,I always put it on no matter what,my dad always told me not to trust just putting it in 1st gear.,it could pop out so he made me never forget after seeing a good friend of the familys car get banged up wores then yours.   so head the advice,use the E-brake thats why it thier and to save your life also.   I glad you didn't get hurt.

Replying to: scheck (Jul 10, 2005 9:02 am) I have an 02 Liberty which developed the same problem. I took it to a mechanic who looked into the back with a camera and found that a spotweld on the spare tire assembely went bad. I got some spray foam from Home Depot and sprayed into the back and it dampened the sound. This may be your problem.

Replying to: scheck (Jul 10, 2005 9:02 am) Is it a loud dull clunking noise like a jack just slipped out from under the car when you hit a bump? I have that problem and it used to be loud, it's a lot softer now that they have replaced faulty axle parts and tightened some bolts that were loose back there.   In addition My 03' liberty transmission overheated at 3,000 mi so they took it apart. they determined that the whole thing needed rebuilding and replaced it with a new trans. I'm at 55,000. miles now and the same thing is happening again.
#9 of 75 Squawking sound by sparky17 Jan 30, 2006 (5:27 pm)
I am getting a loud squawing, groaning sound coming from underneath my 2004 Jeep Liberty. It does it at slow speeds when turning or applying and releasing the brake. I have 53000 miles on it and recently did have the transmission flushed and new fluid added. It was doing this prior to taking it in to have this done. It doesn't do it all the time. Took it into the shop again today and mechanic drove it around and of course it didn't do it. Any ideas what this could be? Seems fine at highway speeds.   Thanks, Ken Replies to this message: frankc55 (Jan 31, 2006 12:47 pm)
