Had a similar issue with my 2012 Liberty. Took it to AutoZone and they pulled the codes that indicated a drivers’ side rear ABS sensor. Replaced both rear sensors and problem solved.

I have a 2012 Jeep Liberty Sport 4x4. I would like to order a transmission fluid dipstick and need to verify the transmission model code. Thank-you

You need to go to a parts store that will read all codes for you. A basic reader doesn’t do it. I had a similar problem and the errors showed ABS Rear Wheel Sensor, Left. The rears are straightforward to replace if you’re only doing the sensors. Replaced both rears and issue resolved.

On my 2012 Liberty, a smoke test revealed it was the black hard-tubing that runs along the firewall. Had a crack at the 45 degree bend. Never would have ‘seen’ it. Required the smoke test at a SMOG shop to find the problem. TEXT EDIT: Now I'm second-guessing myself. I believe the piping on the...

My first thought too based on the original post. Any specific error codes to work with?

Your problem has been solved but for others, I had the same issue that drove me crazy trying to resolve on my 2012 Liberty. In my case, it was a plastic EVAP line under the hood, along the firewall. There was a small crack at a 45 degree bend. Never would have seen it, required a smoke test to...

I have had a 2012 version for about seven years and mechanically has been a great vehicle, with about 86k miles on it. Gas mileage is not great and under-powered for a 3.7L V-6. One thing I am disappointed about is the front seat covers. Totally shot, both sides, from getting in and out of the...

That noise is fairly common on most engines due to ‘wear’ over higher mileage. An engine with 100k miles on it won’t sound like an engine when brand-new. I’ve owned a couple of Jeep’s and my opinion is they tend to sound more ‘agriculture’ than ‘refined’ when starting and idling. You get a...

Chasing down Check Engine Light or EVAP issues can be rough. I experienced one on my 2012 Liberty (KK). Turned out to be cracked line in the engine compartment. I checked them but never would have found it without help. It was on the backside of a 90 degree bend along the firewall on the...

I'v been dragging my feet getting all the necessary fluids for some maintenance work on my 2012 Jeep KK and 2003 Suburban, both four-wheel drives. Some of the fluids match up viscosity-wise, but not necessarily fluid type. For example, the older Suburban recommends 'synthetic' products for the...

Very in-depth information and I'll need to look around but seems like it's what I need. Thank you for the links.

I would like to do some general maintenance on my 2012 Jeep Liberty KK and I am wondering if there is an easy way to determine the drivetrain codes, recommenced fluids and capacities. I have a Suburban that has a placard showing all the original equipment from the factory, so there is no gray...

Got the Jeep Liberty Lift Gate Actuator, Mopar #0458 9131 AG -001, today. Install was pretty simple and there are only three torx bolts holding the actuator in place. All now works as it should. Hope this information is helpful to others.

Just discovered that the rear lift gate on my 2012 Jeep Liberty KK is no longer locking with the key remote or the interior door lock switches. When I try to lock or unlock, I can hear all the door locks are working but not at the rear lift gate. I checked the fuse which MIGHT be the correct...

Maybe I'm not clear on what your question is... "All cars and light trucks built and sold in the United States after January 1, 1996 were required to be OBD II equipped. In general, this means all 1996 model year cars and light trucks are compliant, even if built in late 1995. 2) There will be...
