#5 of 14 Hmmm... by emmab Jul 02, 2008 (7:59 pm)
How much are warranties like that? We just traded a Yukon that hit 100, 000. All the lights were on anyway, and the repair guy said it was needing lots of work. It was a fully loaded one with leather too, very very nice. But, a gas hog. Replies to this message: zoeco (Jul 03, 2008 3:37 pm)

Replying to: emmab (Jul 02, 2008 7:59 pm) I am looking into it now. I was given an article today about how much of a waste extended warranties can be, but I have just about gotten the full amount out of mine, and since it looks like I am going to be keeping my liberty, it seems like its worth the risk. These newer cars, after say 1985, are not as reliable as the older cars, and all it will take is one repair to wipe you out. I don't trust any newer cars solely because of the fact that they use computer chips and so much plastic to operate. I'll be sure to let you know what I find out.
#7 of 14 Jeep Liberty 2004 fuel problem by francesm Jul 07, 2008 (7:00 pm)
I have a jeep liberty 2004 with only 10,000 miles on it. It suddenly decided not to start without any warning of trouble and had to be towed to the dealer. They have replaced the fuel pump, fuel injector and computer without any success in finding the problem. Any one have this problem - any clue on solution.fm Replies to this message: zoeco (Jul 07, 2008 8:14 pm)

Replying to: francesm (Jul 07, 2008 7:00 pm) I have an 03 liberty, and it stopped on me one time where I couldn't turn it over or anything. My battery was dead, but once it was replaced, I didn't have the problem anymore. I am not sure what would cause yours to do that, but with the repairs you have already had done, it seems like it is a computer system issue. These new cars are controlled by computers, and if one little thing is not quite right, then the whole system shuts down. I am sure they have had it on a diagnostic machine, so I won't offer that as a possible solution. Try writing / calling Daimler Chrysler. You never know they might be forthcoming with some information. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I have finally gotten my 2004 jeep liberty back from the dealer and it seems to be fine. They finally decided after replacing the fuel pump, computer, fuel injector that the first fuel pump was defective and the second on seems to have corrected the problem. I had an extended warranty so incurred only the $100 deductible for three weeks of repairs so I would advise anyone buying a car these days to purchase the extended warranty. Mine paid for five days rental and the dealer paid for another five days. I really do enjoy my Jeep Liberty and sure hope this is the end of trouble with it - it is the first problem I have had after purchasing it new in April of 2004.
#10 of 14 2002 Jeep Liberty "locked up" while driving on road by 2002jeeplib Aug 18, 2009 (5:31 am)
My daughter's 2002 Jeep Liberty is having transmission/transfer case issues . She was going down the road and the car locked up with no warning and did a 4 wheel skid into the ditch. Fortunately she wasn't killed or injured as no one was around when it happened and it was on a straight road.   Her extended warranty ended three months ago (of course) and the Jeep dealer just told us it will cost $400 just to "look at the problem" which they think is in the transfer case.   I'm not real impressed with the Raleigh jeep dealers ability to diagnose and fix problems on our Jeep (based on their past record with this vehicle).   Should we junk the jeep and get a Toyota Prius? If the transfer case is the problem and it is fixed (the first time) will the transmission or rear end go next because of the strain of the hard lockup on the road?

Replying to: 2002jeeplib (Aug 18, 2009 5:31 am) The same thing just happened to me! I was driving up a hill and my wheels locked causing me to swurve uncontrollably across 4 lanes of traffic and back, spinning around and finally landing on the curb facing the wrong direction of traffic. My accident is still being investigated but the mechanic said it was a faulty rear mount. I am still waiting to hear the final verdict from Chrysler....you are the third person that I have heard of to have this happen. Did they fix (or replace)the transfer case? How is it running? I love my jeep and hope to regain the same confidence and reliability that I always had. Good Luck Replies to this message: caribou1 (Sep 11, 2009 7:21 am)

Replying to: redgirl1 (Sep 10, 2009 12:25 pm) Have a look here: http://www.mallcrawlin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8549 http://www.wjjeeps.com/nv242_1.jpg   In order to block both front and rear wheels due to a fault of the transmission, you would need some kind of debris to penetrate inside the transfer case differential. It is located underneath the chain and satellite gears you can see in picture "nv242_1.jpg".   This seems quite frightening   The gears located at the bottom of the picture provide the extra "LO" ratio.
