| hello all ... first of all i have read many of your posts. thanks. now to why im here... i have a 2005 crd with 45000ml .. up till now i have been real happy with only the basic trouble and recalls. i have all my work done at my local dealer that has only one jeep crd certifide mechanic. i have an ongoing problem that i have not read anything about..my crd looses all power after a heavy run..it don't happen all the time and only is rectified bye pulling over and shutting the truck off/and restarting it.. this has happend several time over the last year and getting more common.i have had the truck in the shop a few times and have been told differant things each time ..well the last few times ive been in there i have noticed that there is a 2006 crd sport sitting in the same stall each time .. after talking to the mechanic i soon found out that it has just been "bought back" from the owner. it has had many of the troubles that i read about but the transmition shutter and the unexplained loss of power was it's final straw. ive just been told that my turbo is bad and that it will be several weeks before it will be fixed due to three other crd's with bad turbos that are ahead of mine.. all of which have over 30000 ml's and under 65000 mls . "glad i bought an extended warenty. has anyone else had these problems. if so please let me know. thank you | |

I noticed sometimes by selecting Neutral then Drive again, or just by pushing the brake pedal the converter gets loose again and I don't stay in a creep mode anymore. This normally occurs when I slow down to 20mph without braking: the tranny remains in 2nd gear with the converter locked. It's just a bug in the program

Replying to: caribou1 (Feb 13, 2008 11:57 am)  Hello caribou1, I've tried everything from shifting to N. to stopping and letting the truck idle . I was told that some new auto computers have a safe more build into them... not sure if the liberty does but that would make alot of sence to what is happining... The only thing that works with my issue is to completely shut the truck down and restart it..It does sound like a computer issue from what im seeing, shuting it down must reboot the computer im no mechanic but that is what works on my desktop when it crashes...About a month after buying the truck i had an issue were it started running real bad after a trip to the shop and what they said was a loss of the program flash i was on my way. This has been an issue on several differant occations. Then came the trany work (tc) and an "upgrade trans flash" that made the truck drive like a real sissy piese of s***. I took it back right a way .It didn't shift like it did when i bought it.In matter of fact, if it ran like that from day one, i would not have bought it. After four trips back and countless hours on the phone , it was close to the way it was before but because of the tc work and the detune that come as part of it ,the truck didn't have the power it had beforehand. Sence then i have installed several upgrades to the truck .I installed a K&N airfilter that brought the performance back too or mayby alittle more then it was before the TC work.That is when the thing runs. I gained about 2 mpg and the turbo lag wis not as bad. but now with whatever this problem is Now ,there are times im lucky to get 12mpg .

When no error code shows up on the console, you need a bit of luck or lots of money to understand what's going on. This is what I called our "Sword of Damocles" a few years ago... |

well here is a new twist to the problem... This morning there was another episode and i called my local shop" jeep dealer". and got a true look at what makes them up.. First i told them what happend and told them that there was no check engine light when it happend "same as other times". which there reply was there will be no record of it in the computer, so there is really only one of two courses of action.. 1: drive the truck "easy" until it goes in for the service work on the turbo. which he also told me that the parts may not be in for several weeks..This makes me uneasy ,not because i beat it. but because i drive quite a bit to&fro for work. Driving both highway and city..OR 2:take the truck in now and leave it there until they see the problem happen or they see some sign of something going on.. WOW .. it's only just come back out two days ago to which i was told there is nothing wrong with it.. or at least they have no record of something strange because the computer didn't record it.. this at first didn't seem like a bad way to go until the service manager told me that evan thoe i have a warrenty.. the dealer can't give me a loaner unless i pay for it ... SURE RIGHT...let's see now i told him and made mention to the crd sporyt that is sitting in the same stall now for going on two months.. Well i still have the truck... i also made mention to the fact that i wont stand for what i see as a stalling situation .seeing i have now 45000miles and only a 60000mile warreny..

Replying to: hammerboyone (Feb 14, 2008 12:08 pm) Ask yourself what the computer cannot see: - the cleanliness and efficiency of the individual filters (diesel fuel, intake air, turbo vanes vacuum line) These 3 items are the cheapest consumables of the lot. Practically all the other elements are electrically controlled. If you had EGR problems you would generate lots of black smoke in one condition and a Lambda sensor error in the other. If I were in your case, I would change these filters first. This can cost you less than driving back and forth to the dealership. |

all filters were just changed,less then 500 mile ago..and as for the ERG. has been replaced twice and the air pump once.

Replying to: hammerboyone (Feb 15, 2008 5:42 am)  When I reached 60,000 miles the maintenance cost me far too much money. Since then I have an enormous rattle, mushy performance, air in the brake line, damaged a/c plumbing, and no more limited slip differential because the dealership used a friction additive in the rear differential. They got everything wrong this time and it's a pain to end up fixing the truck myself. Some manufacturers offer 5 years warranty, so customers must go to the dealership during these 5 years otherwise they loose their warranty. This is their latest trick to grab our money. |

Replying to: hammerboyone (Feb 13, 2008 11:31 am)  Hammerboyone I had the ezact same problem with my 06 CRD an Jeep dealership could never figure it out. I would reconmend that you notify DaimlerChrysler by registered or express mail about your jeep.You can find a form in your OWNER'S RIGHTS UNDER STATE LEMON LAWS hand book. By doing so Jeep's main office will have to get involved to resolve the problem. Research the lemon law for your state so they can't pull the wool over your eyes and trust me they will try. On my CRD the missing,lack of power,and sometimes stalling started just every now and then but over time it got worse. This is very dangerous to drive because you never know when it will happen. What will happen if pull out infront of traffic and mash the throttle to the floor and instead of putting 295 foot pounds of torque to the ground you don't have enough power to get out your on way. This happend to me and I about got hit.I hope this was helpfull and I wish you the best of luck in getting your problem resloved.
