Have a 2002 Jeep Libety, about 60,000 miles on it. Use Liberty for road use only. No off-road use at all. Within the last 12 months, had to have rear axle seals replaced TWICE (once in Sept 06 and once April 07). One week ago I had a right rear flat tire, and was told by the garage that fixed the flat, that the rear axle seals are indeed leaking AGAIN. BUT, I just had them replaced TWICE within the last 12 months. Any idea's why the rear axle seals keep leaking? This is getting to be quite a costly problem because it includes replacing brake pads, etc and labor costs. With parts and labor, I'm looking at $300-400 each time I get them fixed. HELP!

| I have a 2004 Liberty 34,000 miles. In slow traffic when it shifts, it sounds like the rear end is falling out. It's a real loud clunk wheather shifting up or down. HELP. | |

I have a 2002 Jeep Limited with an easy 39,000 miles on it, purchased certified pre-owned. As many forum users have stated, I experience odd noises coming from the rear. When making a tight turn into a parking space, the steering is fine, but I hear a "whirring" sound, followed by a grating noise, almost like a tire rubbing. Can it be the ball joints? Perhaps as one post mentioned, a joint on top of rear differential? Has anyone had a similar experience? Thanks.. |

| Help! I have had my differential bearings replaced 3 times in less than a year. It started off with rear end noise, then the noise seemed like it was coming from the tires and the tread. It got louder and louder. Just 2 weeks ago was the last time it was in the shop and I am once again hearing the noise. I think the whole differential unit should be replaced at this point. But I know nothing about cars. What should I do. I have 100,000 miles on my car and it has been kept up on maintenance. This is the only problem I have. I am sure they will tell it isn't covered under standard warranty. However, since I have this same problem so many times in such a short period of time I want the whole thing replaced. I don't feel safe in my car. What is my recourse? Thanks. | |

I purchased a 2002 Jeep Liberty about a year ago. In June the speed sensor on the rear differential failed causing the speedometer to quit working and transmission to stop shifting The dealer replaced the sensor for $300. Since June I have replaced the sensor my self three more times, about every 3 to 5k miles. The sensor when replaced has no physical damage, and the dealer ship states that there is know reason for the failure. Does anyone have any thoughts on this issue? Chris

My 21 year old daughter was driving my 2006 Liberty on the Northern Parkway in Westbury, NY on January 2, 2008. The car was purchased in July 2006 and has approximately 15,500 miles on it. Suddenly and without warning the wheels locked up ripping out the transfer case and dropping the drive shaft on the highway. The car behind her was damaged as it ran over the drive train components. The driver of the damaged car saw flames coming out from under the Liberty and a cloud of black smoke. (Probably from the gear oil). Fortunately the Liberty veered into the breakdown lane and not into another travel and no one was injured. The Liberty was towed to Westbury Jeep. Initially I met with the service manager and he indicated the repairs would be made under warranty. After 12 days he phone me and said “...either the car hit something or it was driven in 4WD low on the highway.” Neither of these occurred and Jeep does not acknowledge a problem with vehicle and will not cover the repairs under warranty. I phoned Chrysler and they won’t even send a rep to look at the vehicle. Chrysler contacted the dealer and repeated what the dealer said. The Chrysler customer service rep I spoke with on the phone would not provide another contact saying she was trained to handle these situations. She also said there are no TSBs or recalls for my Liberty which apply. I am frustrated by the stonewalling on the part of both Westbury Jeep and Chrysler. Has anyone had any similar problems? |
