Ive replaced so many Liberty window regulators that I should have a freakin Master's degree in regulator replacement
Back windows?
Damn really?? My 03 libertys been in my family since brand new and its never had a window regulator go bad or bee replaced *YET KNOCK ON WOOD!!!*
You may want to check into the Steiger Performance aftermarket parts for those - they're made of metal rather than the cheap brittle plastics. Worth a gander!
What about sunroofs?
@@mrbawsgamer3738 Ya I think they changed something on the later years. I have an 03 with over 200 thou miles and have only had to replace one rear window power unit so far.
Had my 2007 for 9 years. 116k on it and I just had my first engine light come on. New fuel injector. It runs like a dream
I would add to the list of common problems front lower ball joints, mostly because nobody seems to check them correctly.. rear control arm bushings wearing out quickly, and ignition lock cylinder jamming. With that being said, I love my first gen Liberty. Very underrated vehicles in terms of quality and reliability.
2003 jeep liberty sport/ manual transmission. Best vehicle I’ve ever owned, except for the rear window motors. I learned to replace them myself. Took it off roading, cross country, and traveled back and forth from school/work for over a decade.
2003 liberty limited can 100% agree amazing vic... only things i can say for new buyers make sure shes not running rich or good chance ur looking at a new engine
My 2004 w/manual transmission with 190k also the best vehicle I've ever owned, all issues have always been minor.
@@thatblack300s 06 limited no issues besides check engine light is always on 170k on it everything seems to work but the cruise control grrrr
The rusted top break light is the only bad for first generation....
The one I bought is very used so I’m going to have to fix one thing at a time but you know if you want it done right take it to the jeep specialist and they fix it like new one thing at a time
Top 5 problems with the first gen liberty.
1. Front lower ball joints
2. Window regulators.
3. Sagged suspension ( worn front springs)
4. Radiator cracked at the drivers side upper mount
5. Bad rear cv joint front drive shaft.
I'm about to buy a 2003 liberty limited. Test drove it tonight and I'm already in love. It's my very first car so I'm hoping for the best. Thanks for the video man!
I had ZERO faith in my dads 1st gen liberty when he bought it, I thought 4.0 was only engine for a Jeep. But dad put 420,000km on his liberty. Basic maintenance is all that was done.
i have the 2.5 crd with 245k km ,if i forget about the drivetrain issues its the best car ive ever driven
Hey thats awesome.
Think I needed to hear that. Sticking with her.
I’m happy to hear this :) I just bought a Liberty from Govdeals
I love it! I'm at 280,000 on my 2006. Now I know the number to beat!! Lol
I had one of the first Jeep Liberty’s ever! Never had ONE SINGLE PROBLEM with it! I LOVED IT! I gave it to my son in Med School cause Philly isn’t a safe place. I’ve had a Laredo’s, 3 Jeep mini’s, a Renegade & a Cherokee. Not a single problem EVER…..
227,000 on my 2002 4wd liberty sport and still runs like new. Maintenance is everything. CHECK THE FLUIDS REGULARLY!
Yea got a liberty looked into coolant tons of chunks and crud in it change that stuff asap
Looking to get a 2004 jeep liberty 3.7 , 5spd 4x4 it has 174k on it and it's listed for 3500 . Any suggestions? Thanks!
@@MrUgot2cthis I have an 07 V6 Liberty 4x4 Auto. It’s got 180,000 miles and it’s a total champ. No major engine or transmission issues. Keep the fluids fresh, full synthetic oil seems to help. If you plan on doing off tossing I would look into a locking rear diff. Really makes a difference in the sticky stuff. Keep in mind at that mileage it might need a few small things (CV axles, suspension etc.) so hopefully the $3500 isn’t all your money. The best thing I did before buying mine was take it to a mechanic for a full inspection on my test drive, it even helped me talk down the price.
Off roading* not tossing
@@MrUgot2cthis
Absolutely not.
20 years with my Jeep Liberty one of 200 made in 2001. Kept up with routine maintenance, just recently the air conditioning went that was the most major problem and the radiator hole. This is the best suv ever, it still looks great, and runs great. Your video of the Jeep looks just like my white Jeep.
After 20 years though it was time to get a new Jeep so I’m waiting for my new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon to be delivered middle of September.
Great video.
I just bought a 2002 Liberty in very good shape for its age, how has your Rubicon been treating you?
Bought our 2003 Jeep Liberty Renegade brand new… no leaking issues anywhere .. it only has 140,000 km ( roughly 86k miles)
It’s been in northern Canada 🇨🇦 Polar bear country ( HudsonBay) for 20yrs now..
considering our winter temperatures get to minus -45c ( around 49F) this little Jeep sits outside along side our 2 Hummers & skidoos and has never failed to start.. it’s also rust free since no salt is used on our roads.
cheers from the snowy ( cold) north
A common problem with the windows is not the regulator it’s those plastic clips. If you hear the motor it’s the clip.
Both rear windows stopped working I won’t fix them because they are trash and they hardly got used
Hard to believe the damn tail-lights didn't make a top 5 problems list.
I agree
Agreed
Just received my jeep liberty 03 as a gift low miles on it. No problem...6 months later and omg having some issues. Luckily my husband and my brother knows more about cars than I do.
MY 2005 Liberty just turned 250,000 miles. Original motor and trans.
Got an 04 Liberty and had to change ac compressor and radiator fan. This is because some crappy mechanic mis diagnosed my overheating issue.
Have had some check engine lights come here and there and replaced the radiator once and head gaskets. Two window actuators replaced and consistently replacing bulbs in tail light. Otherwise my Liberty works great!
Great video. My 1st gen KJ was a limited. Had it 17 years. Daughter drove it for 6. Sold it off to VW when I bout a Atlas. I also own a 09 KK. Got it new so it's still got a life time warranty on what's important. I did have a power door lock issue, rear driver side passenger door. Wasn't much to fix. But as far as Gen1? None of the issues he mentioned caused me any grief. I think he should have pointed out the radiator. I had to replace mine on the 02 and 09 when they hit 100k miles. Started leaking at the time seam, on the side.
I did upgrade my 09. 32inch BFG KO2's, 3 inch lift (Old man EMU) with longer "A" arms. sliders and side rails (from JCR off-road who no longer makes stuff for the KJ or KK), full MOPAR skids, 10inch rims, customer front steel bumper (from At The Helm - ATH)with receiver for my all time budget winch, badlands 12k lb winch. a few LED lights here and there, and in the rear bumper. It's my everyday driver, even if it gets around 10mpg. :-(
+tc1uscg Thanks for the feedback!
Sludge build up is the rocker arm culprit, change oil every 3500 miles to prevent it. Rear regulator plastic parts crack and break, dropping the rear windows, upgrade to all metal regulator for 50 bucks when that happens. Those are mighty fine Jeeps, little electronics to go wrong, easy as blazes to work on.
+John Puplic Thanks for the tip!
Love the Vid, great advice on everything you mentioned, but you forgot... Front CV Joints, and Propeller shaft. I plan on taking mine if for replacement this week. Sounds horrible while moving, 2WD, 4WD high, and noting in neutral or 4WD Low. A little too much of a project for me to do in the driveway.
+Shadoe Kat Thanks for the feedback!
I learned so much from this video. I have a 2007, the gramps has a 2006. The windows are crap. We also have issues with the back window latch all the time. At times I think these billion dollar companies that make these vehicles should be responsible for fixing them with all the faulty parts they put into them.
Vapor locking is the only problem I have had to deal with so far. But it's a 10 sec fix every time it happens.
If you are driving for a while then stop for 20 min or so (like going into a store) only to come and have a crank but no start with no codes showing. Try going to the passenger side of the motor and purge the fuel line. Be careful fuel is under a lot of pressure
Mine had the "Smoke machine" problem....leaky valve cover gaskets that drip onto the exhaust manifold. PIA to replace them also.
It's easier to list what is actually good on the Liberty (3.7L) ! Bought mine used with 140k on it , forward about 3k miles and the dreaded head gasket issue. I never allowed it to get the least bit hot as I was aware of this being a potential and costly oversight. I also worked 30+ years in the radiator business. I do believe the individual seller was less than honest about previous issues as the problem developed after longer distance driving. Being retired, I didn't drive it very hard or often. I am now $3,100 poorer after a motor swap recently and yep, you guessed it: After driving about 3k miles the dreaded Misfire light is on AGAIN ! , PO302. I found out further through a friend who knew the seller what this guy replaced before selling. #1 Radiator, water pump 2x, AC Condensor, Battery 2x, supposedly new heads, thermostat 2x, window regulators 3x etc.etc. I hate it, but I should have done more research... It's actually fun to drive when it's running smooth and the 4x4 works fine. Maybe I should have junked it out, but with the prices I have seen for used vehicles nowadays I decided to keep it. So now back to the misfire condition, I suppose I will check the plugs, coils and injectors....never-ending. 🤑
Jeep Cherokee 4.0 was the best newer model. I'm still partial to the larger Grand Cherokee from pre 90's era
One to watch with the door locks is a small power drain when locked with the remote. took while to track down why my wife's batter would occasionally go flat if locked with the door switch it did not happen.
Have a 2003 Jeep Liberty limited edition with 194,000 miles. Bad news Mopar has discontinued most replacement parts ...so I have to search junk yards for parts. Aftermarket parts don’t work especially the fan relay switch.
Seeing all these comments I really regret selling mine 😢. I keep looking on marketplace for it/one to replace it. The factory light bar, amazing stereo, an engine bay that was so easy to clean and work in when needed... all made for such a nice vehicle
Good video once again 1A Auto! I've owned my 06 Liberty for 5 years now and it's right under 150k. It hasn't been the worst vehicle but I definitely have design issues I'd like to add in addition to all of these mechanical ones...
1) The material on the seats stain SO easily, even with water and nothing seams to take the stains off. If you think seat covers look tacky plan on forking out a few hundred for custom fit covers.
2) Unlike other jeeps there are very few options for upgrades. The bolt pattern is odd leaving limited options for wheels without custom spacers/adapters and a LED conversion in the headlights is inefficient due to how the housing is designed.
3) Small area for legs in the front, only certain more expensive custom floor mats (weather tech) will contour to this narrow space
4) Doors lock automatically after going over a certain speed. In other models this can be changed by reprogramming, I've still not found a way to deactivate this with the libby. I can't even begin to explain how annoying this has been.
5) Seats don't recline back far enough making it hard to sleep if you're too tired to drive, and the doors don't open wide enough especially for the back seat making it cramped to get things in and out.
6) Ridiculously small glove box.
7) Grab handle and thick front windshield/roof support blocks views coming into/outta turns, poor design. Inconvenience that I guess I've gotten used to.
Should also note I currently have a oil leak that is just a matter of replacing my oil pan gasket, a relatively simple job. However beacuse my liberty is a 4wd accessing the pan will require lowering the entire axle so now I'm getting quotes no less than $500. Love what you drive and it won't feel like so much and I still love my liberty. But still...
+Johnny Bravo Thanks for the feedback!
I had the oil cooling lines done at about 75,000 miles and they are leaking again this thing just loves to cry oil and coolant 😥
My 02 was a Battle Axe. 10 years, 240K and it was still going. Front lower ball joints and lack of gas tank protection were a recall. They would give you a free trailer hitch to protect it. Watch that ball joint above the rear diff too. Rear seat is too upright. Uncomfortable. Regular gas and regular oil made it cheap to run aside from the weak mileage (20 mpg). I was very surprised how well it towed a trailer. Loved that Jeep.
This will be my first car one day, I love how compact but spacious this vehicle is, Gotta save a little bit more to find one and buy it
I have a V6 Gas 3.7L 2006, great car, although my AC is out, havent full diagnosed it, however it could be anything from the pressure sensor, the Ac compressor clutch, the AC compressor itself, or simply the fuse or refrigerant.
@@bralexm8868 I have an 05 jeep liberty an replaced every A/C component. Turned out it was the evaporator that is located inside the dash.
@@christophergarcia2397 mine was a blast....damn fan randomly broke and now the engine block I think is cracked
Where you from?
Dont get 1, I had a 04 and a 05, the 04 blew up at 155k miles, 05 is spittn out metal in the oil at 140k miles
I have that 2007 model I love it a lot I know replacing the window regulators on the back passenger side needs to be replaced it’s like the same as the 2002 model and I use my 4 wheel drive because of crappy snowy roads that gives me disavatges
Just bought a cheap jeep 06 Liberty. Looks like a fun rig! Getting ready to delve into it soon, thankyou for the video.
I would like to see a Jeep Liberty with working tail lights. I've just changed three bulbs in each side and it appears only top half half of my top light is working. I can't tell if that's normal. It doesn't same to be giving off that much light
Hey guys I enjoy all your videos, I wonder if you guys plan to do one with a
Jeep Compass 2011. What 5 problems is common with this vehicle keep up with these videos great information.
Trying hard to convince myself not to buy 2005 liberty.....i think im going to buy lol
I have one since 2016. Other than headlights failing once a year, no issues whatsoever.
I recommend getting one, the Liberty gets a lot of hate but it’s a helluva car. Because of the hate the cost of the car is usually very cheap too.
Welp.. brought the wife shopping and i am a proud new owner of a honda odyssey 😭😭😭 i am still going to try and get a liberty even if it becomes the death of me
2004 it’s better idk why but it is 😁
I have a 06 liberty on 30sAT And a 3 inch lift. It’s cool and does the job. Just need to add diff locks
I've had a problem with my 03 lock rod set screws coming loose. Easy fix
I bought my uncles 2002 3.7 4x2 when I was 15 & along the 3 years I’ve had it I only had to repair the windows, the axel & the exhaust manifold. Other than that no complaints
+Alejándrø Flores Thanks for the feedback!
Biggest issue with windows I experienced and heard about was the plastic holder for the window breaks or strips. Then the drive cable runs out of the sheath. Bought a complete regulator for mine then got a repair piece made of metal to fix the original one. Still have it as a spare. Numerous other little electric pieces that fail too. Bought it with a dead engine, replaced it and now this engine is dead with 25k miles on it.
very, very, thank you very much. Greetings from the Czech republic. 👍👍👍👍👍
134k miles on my 06 Liberty, still running great
Let it hit 170k that’s when the problems start
Funny i had the whole lot of little issue with my jeep but none of those..and so far i got 245k on the engine..
i have the 2,5 crd manual , my libys problem was and still be the back half of the drivetrain,bushings , balls and center axle all the others never happend.mine also has 245k km
You are perfect . Many thanks . But shall i ask you something. Could you please talking slowly because i'm trying to understand. And your material is so good . Thanks again
I just bought a very used Jeep Liberty (2005 - 221k miles)...not bad shape but the knob on the shifter sticks which keeps the key from releasing. It appears to be just the actual knob sticking because if I work at it (pry on it a little and force it out) it will unstick and the key will release. Recommendations?
I owned a 2006 CRD and had no Problems Till i sold it with 160.000 km. AGR Valve had to be cleaned 2 times. That was all. Very great Vehicle, only reason to change was a JK.
Blower motor a couple of times, rear windows, sticking valves even with a new head. Cant remember where but there is a guy in I think Michigan that sells rocker clips. They prevent the rocker from falling off at least.
Ex wife has one of these. In 6 years it ran out of oil to many times for me to count. Still drives, has a tick to it. Heater core blew up last year. Never did the windows, no leaks underneath. I hate it, but it has been a good rig.
+Travis Chaddock Thanks for the feedback!
Please help!
2007 jeep liberty.
Third light works (when I press on break pedal)
Nighttime, running rear lights work (same bulb as break light)
No break light when pressing on break pedal (rear running lights will turn off)
Break fuse is OK (#12, 15a)
I'm experiencing a wobble when going over bumps and when brakes applied. Also, it wants to pull to the right when braking or making curves... I've already had rear differential, alignment, steering box, control arm and steering rack bushing replaced. Could it be a stuck brake caliper?
Dude enjoyed the video
My 03 liberty has 285000 on odometer runs good have had some issues nothing major
Will you please do a video on the 2008 and up Jeep Liberties?
+shad johnsen We're always cycling through common cars. We'll add this vehicle to our list! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
The headlights on my 05 Jeep Liberty 3.7 l V6 will sometimes not work on the low beams but if flick the high beam lights on when you go back to low beam lights they work fine. Any Ideas?
Please, tell me what is the proceeding for replacing the front axle oil seal (to the drive shaft end). Thank you.
My 2006 Jeep Liberty 4x4 shifter has no resistance and does not shift. And it is currently stuck in part-time 4 wheel drive. What could be the cause of this?
How about 06 liberty when you try to charge the Ac , the ferioon is not getting sucked out of the kan even when you have the accelerator pressed and the temp is not dropping below 70
I wish I saw this before buying a liberty. I almost have a new car with all the replacements.
Loved my 2007 Jeep Liberty until I found out the A/C Evaporator needs to be replaced and the only way to do this is to remove my entire dashboard. Can't afford a mechanic to do it so I'll have to attempt it myself. Wish me luck!!
One other that is very common - front suspension - Upper control arms, lower ball joints. Generally if you are grabbing 1st gen - suspension will be sagged, and i would advice to replace that.
I'm pointing at the lower ball joints..... What a bad problem!!
Wow! I must be doing something right.
My 2005 Liberty now has 270,000 miles. It is the diesel version with 2.8Liter engine.
The only problem I have had is the rear windows. Right now I have some vacuum things stuck to the window holding them shut. They quit working about five years ago and I just haven't bothered to tear into them. LOL If it happens to you, go to Walgreens and buy the assist bar for people to use in the shower. Smear a bit of veggie oil around on the rubber cup and it will stuck for about six months. You can see if it is losing a seal by just looking at how the rubber is stuck to the glass
I had three recalls done at the dealer. The torque convertor upgrade, the rear suspension arms, and one I can't remember. All before the warranty ran out. Just had alignment done and all four ball joints are tight. I live in WI so she gets a lot of salt on her. I had to replace all four of the rubber brake lines that connect to the calipers, the triangle shaped thing on the rear axle and all four shocks/struts. I had the dealer replace the timing belt at each 100,000 mile interval otherwise it could break and do about $5000 damage. I estimate I have put $5,500 in repairs since new.
All fluids were synthetic from the factory and they are changed at scheduled intervals.
The thing that amazes me most is the transmission. I started driving in 1965 and I remember it wasn't very long before people were having the auto trans rebuilt at 50,000 miles. Now here I am with 270,000 miles and it works like a Swiss watch.
I really like the little Jeep. Easy to park, good visibility, goes through deep snow. I'll keep repairing her so long as she doesn't rust away.
The plastic link between the regulator and the bracket on the bottom of the glass is what breaks. There is a metal replacement which I installed and never had another problem in almost twenty years.
+280zjammer Thanks for the feedback!
I had a 2005 Liberty, bought used. Never had any of the problems in the video, but I went through an A/C system and a transmission. I got rid of it when it finally threw a rod through the engine block when starting it up one day at work. I’ll never buy anything Mopar with a 3.7 Powertec motor in it again.
Seen many with over 250,000 miles and factory engine. Maintenance..
Great video 👌👌 thank you!
2006 Jeep Liberty replaced radiator at 84,000 miles. Had a leak in the plastic part on the drivers side. Also the rear pinion seal And front differential leak at same mileage. However, the Jeep had sat for about a year so seals probably dried up.
Good Day to you.
I am Jithendra from Sri Lanka.I have a 2004 Jeep Cherokee (Liberty ) 3.7L (Automatic )Petrol Engine.
Currently My Engine is not in working condition.
I am planing on fixing a Diesel 2.8L CRD Diesel Engine .
From your experience I would like to know what are the problems that I will have to face if I go forward with a conversion.
Hi I have a 2007 Liberty 3.7L V6, 117,000 miles. Owned it since 67,000 miles. It operated perfectly for the first 30,000 miles and then it started getting a #1 Cyl misfire code P0301. It also seldomly gets a #1 cyl fuel injector circuit open P0201. It must be a very mild fault as the misfire freeze frame data shows it always happens at less than 350 rpm and when cleared it comes back immediately at next startup, cold or hot. So it seems to only happen once on startup as its moving up to regular idle speed. The miss isnt noticeable when driving or idling. Its getting 15.5 mpg fuel mileage. Doesnt burn oil. Doesnt smoke. Has great power. I've changed plugs and coils but no difference. Cleaned air intake, air filter, and ran cleaner through system. I've cleaned and inspected the injector plug and all wires but no difference. Dry / wet compression test of #1, 3 and 5 cylinders all read good: 160 / 175 psi.
I'm wondering if there's a mild wire defect for that injector, or just a flakey connection somewhere. Has anyone tried to use a new set of compatible gauge wires and run them to a place closer to the injector control? I can't see where the wires go though.
I'm not sure if I should just live with this, or troubleshoot it more. I don’t care about the engine light as we don't have emission requirements. Now that I know the compression is good, I'm not so worried about it.
Any suggestions of what to do next? Thanks!
Good Morning, besides the front hub/bearing, what could cause a loud squeal? TIA Dave
I have had 2 of these Liberty's. I didnt have any of the problems he talks about. Just basic repairs. Plugs and coil packs and a water pump. My last one has 210K on it and its still running. Also, Great in the snow! Love my Liberty's.
+john smith Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
I had all those things go bad on my 06 keep liberty sport and replaced a transmission in under 100,000 it runs great just a money pit
I love these vehicles but i wish jeep would have paid more attention this specific model
I'm worried. I'm planning to buy a vehicle like this (2005) but this vehicle is liking oil in the rear axle. Don't know if is just the seals or could be the axle damage 'cause the wheel is moving inside and outside some millimeters and it doesn't feels good. Maybe you could help me. What you think is just seals or an axle damage. Thanks in advance!!
My mom has a 04 liberty and a used motor was put in. Know when u first start the jeep it has a very bad exhaust smell. You cant even sit in there. You have to put windows down and wait. The smell will go away after awhile. Do u have any ideas what could be the problem???
Mine was not well taken care of. It needs a new window regulator, fuel pump, speedometer needs fixed. There was no transmission fluid in it when I bought it :/
I bought an 05 liberty 2wd for my wife. Nice looking jeep. Got home and first time to reverse it shuddered. I thought oh no. Anyway, 10yrs later it still sometimes shudders in reverse othertimes not. I also will add the transmission will get too hot if pulling a trailer w tailgate on the freeway. I considered a larger trans cooler but never added one. I found the rear tailight(s?) not working. Purchase the new socket and bulbs and put in. Worked okmfor 2hrs? To make it short I learned the sockets had to be barely loosened/turned. For some crazy reason. Then the light made it several years as ok. Maybe this helps someone else. I installed two driver side window regulators which had a plastic piece go bad. Also a third passenger rear failed. That one I never replaced due to income (and 'resistance'!) etc. Also I learned the regulators replace easy as 15minutes so no big deal as for that. And the Real True culprit for the window regulator failures was my wife sitting her purse on the console switches. The rear suspension arm bushings wore out but a recall covered the repair, and the upper triangle arm I bought from Detroit Axle. Radiator, A/c compressor, u-joints, batterties, belts, tires, brake pads, rear shocks, rear calipers, oil, air filters.
Hi I have 2007 jeep liberty and keep throwing cam shaft code p0340 and engine light come on. change cam sensor three times, last time sensor bought from jeep dealer. But still same problems. Also same time on the rood when drive jeep has no fourth gear. Is that problems related to each other? Also after we thought that may be timing chain jumped or starched and checked. It is fine and on timing. Please suggest if any help. Thanks
I have a 2002 jeep liberty limited that I just put a used engine in that only has 83,000 miles on in and I've replaced Every sensor on the Jeep but the cam shaft and crank shaft and 3 of the 02 sensors and the check engine light goes off for a few days but always comes back on so I just order the rest of the sensors that I'll be replacing this Friday so if the engine light comes back on what do I do again the coeds at P0141 P0161 heater circuit controls
Im at 252,000 and no problem other than leather seat cover worn out
very capable 4x4 with neutral hi lo transfer case. Number one budget 4x4.
People need to keep in mind the issues with transfer case, and differential leaks can happen on any vehicle, that isn't a Jeep only thing, so it shouldn't have even been mentioned as an issue with the Jeep itself. Same goes for the exhaust manifolds.
A lot of issues come from the owners not properly maintaining their vehicles, that seems to be overlooked 99% of the time in all these vehicle specific problem lists.

i have a 2005 jeep liberty was not running good checked my plugs and found plug under coolant tank very black replaced all plugs and ignition coil now have a knock noise that happens every few secounds is this something in valve assembly area
I'm looking at a beater 2002 jeep liberty for $1800.00 with about 100k miles on it. The back windows are stuck and the paint is pealing up. 🤔 Still might be a good buy.
Hello, can you make more videos for 2003 Jeep liberty sport V6 3.7L?
Thank you for all the amazing info, someone is giving me this one, 04052021🙏🙏🙏
I bought a 2004 Jeep Liberty 4 wheel drive 3.7 L automatic with 105,000 miles on it. Its somewhat difficult to feel the gears change but they don. Is that normal ? Plus I have snow tires all around and it's rides loud and hard is that normal ?
Major oil sludge in heads maybe on oil pump and strainer. What can I use to break all the thick dry oil up to flush my engine out. Its knocking from black of oil circulating from all the sludge.
I hope that what I’m seeing in the background of this vlog is a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 5.7 hemi because I would love to see some vlogs on one...
My reverse lights aren't working and I've changed the bulbs and checked the fuse. Can I change the reverse switch on the outside of the transmission on my own?
Does anyone know if the 2002 and 2003 jeep liberty have the same windshield?
I got my 07 liberty back in July and only had 124000 something miles. Had to replace the radiator and a fuel injector. Now I'm having trouble with a transmission leak probably from me changing the radiator. But not sure. Then the engine is leaking oil from the rotor thing I believe. Mid oct I noticed I was out of oil but sensor didn't notify me until it was empty. I got an oil change on the 22nd of oct and I check my oil level again on Nov 29th it was damn near empty. I filled up with two quarts for now. I also need more injectors possibly sparkplugs 🤦🏿♂️
🌻🦋ThankYou Very helpful to know
Mine has the driver window issue, the rear window motor issue, the lock problem, AND as is also apparently common with the cheap transmissions they put in them, a transmission that has cost me TWO rebuilds (to be fair, the first guy was a little shady and it only lasted a year lol). Planned obsolescence anyone?...
I was having an oil leak now it won"t shift back or forward do you think it was the transmission oil?
I've recently acquired an 03 Liberty, and I noticed there is a "hissing" noise coming from the front end. It doesn't go away immediately after turning the jeep off, the "hissing" lingers for a few seconds and then stops.
I have an 02 that does this too, I believe its the coolant boiling and the cap not sealing all the way.
have the same thing and when the front wheels fall into a pothole it sounds metal banging in front, what could it be?
Broken key switches,
I replaced mine,
I used TH-cam to find problems.
The key turn over but wasn't starting the engine.
I jumped the starter at the relay, and made sure it wasn't the starter, the engine started by jumping the relay, which then told me it was the switch.
Bought the switch online,
Only thing now is the switch on the transfer case, light stays on.
I'll deal with that later.
Has anyone figured out how to stop the auto door lock on these things. I can't tell you how many times i have yanked on the rear door only to have to go back up and hit the unlock button. Dang dealership said it would cost $100 and any time the battery went dead I would have to redo it. My biggest complaint on the car, pretty decent other than that.
How do you fix transmission lickage that is stuck in reverse on 06 jeep liberty is it possibly just a bushing on the rod
I love my Jeep Liberty I put my Jeep best suv I owned next to my Honda’s
Do you guys have instructional videos to repair the internal engine valves?
Also to anyone else that drives one of these bad boys. Have you had an experience when you're around 40-50mph and your rpm jumps to 2,000rpm and then eventually settles back to around 1500rpm? I have no check engine light, and the car shifts fine. Anyone else encounter this?
+Albert Prislac We do not have a video for this repair right now, but we'll keep this request in mind for a future video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Yeah that’s just the transmission hunting for the right gear. It drops out of overdrive and then shifts back up right away. Annoying, but it’s just how the transmission is.
