Hello friends, I am going to start off by saying I know the proper method here is to search archives..please refrain from pointing that out..I am writing this in hopes that I may be steered in a direction that will aid me making any repairs sooner..Though not my 1st jeep or car for that matter, it seems to be clouded with gremlins..reading thru MANY threads..I will try to detail (briefly) what I have expereinced in the short 6 or so weeks I have owned this Liberty...which BTW I love driving..but I bought it for my fiance to drive.
2006, limited, 3.7L, 66K miles..little old lady owned, ALL features (gadets) operational, my son thought it was NEW...thats how clean it is..
1--- 3 days in tire light, easy right, all tires were 28 or 29lbs..yes low but all the same..light stayed on, per discount some TPM's are ultra sensitive, raised pressure to 34lbs per door jam sticker..has been good since.
2---4 weeks in..at start up get a chime and GAS CAP warning..thought thats wierd, got out checked to see if it was still there..it was..took off and reinstalled...when i got home I googled, I see many have issue there too...It passed emission so I figured cap was good..I see that many have to tighten it 3 or 4 clicks..so i did that....its been fine since.
3---dreaded ABS,BRAKE,Traction and one other light, blink on and get on chime...few seconds later again...repeqts about 12 or 15 times..over the course of a couple minutes..then goes away...I had just washed it so i thought water got someplace...started googling again...BCM, recalls, leaking sunroofs...wheel speed sesnsors...all popping up..BUT no sunroof. it stopped. and ws fine.googled more looking around.
4---2 or 3 weeks since above issue...driving on freeway starts again..only this time more frequently, and add in the odometer brightness slightly changing, and a pop in the radio speakers, also being I was on freeway this time I tried the Cruise ..and it wont stay on....also popped into nuetral while rolling at 70 and it seemed to stop, put back into gear (auto) and it proceeded... again stopped after a few minutes..
So, I will be open to some of you veteran Libertarians...where to start?..wheel speed sensors?...the wiring for them?...what will you lean towards?..yes I am mechanically inclined, though not a fan of electrical issues , nor do I have the elabnorate test equipment..I have built many old school racecars, and worked on my own Cj's LJ's TJ's and XJ's.....thank you to my new friends :icon_smile:
