Recently on my kj I've been noticing that my shift knob is loose, this is causing the transmission to not want to go into to park, and once in park, to not want to shift out. Also the overdrive lockout button on the knob will stick and not disengage. My jeep is an 03 sport , 3.7 liter 4x4 with...

The pads and rotors on the jeep were replaced last February in the rear. I'm also starting to think it's a bearing.

I just wanted to ask you guys if any of you have experienced this. I have an 03 Libby sport v-6 4x4 that recently started to make this god awful noise in the rear. The nearest thing I can describe it to is a big rig useing it's air brakes. It's coming from the passenger rear of the vehicle. It...

No Atrus I'm not exaggerating. When I called the dealership a month ago to make an appointment for the Libby, I asked them if it was alright if I drove it. I told them the rear brakes were sticking really bad, and making noises that should'nt come from any motor vehicle. They said "sure , fine...

This is for you Mr. cause17. Since I live only about 8 miles away from you I'm sure your familiar with the place I bought My Jeep Liberty. Monroeville Chrysler Jeep. I purchased the vehicle there used In July of 06. I've since had it back several times for the rear calipers sticking on my Jeep...

There's only two problems with the Liberty. Brakes are junk, especially earlier models from 02-03. And gas mileage is crap. My previous vehicle was a 99 Chevy Silverado 4x4. This truck easily out weighs the Liberty by close to 1000 lbs. And I routinely averaged around 17 mpg with it. If I'm...

I've owned my 2003 Jeep Liberty Sport for not quite a year now, and have had nothing but rear brake trouble since the purchase. I've had it back to dealer several times with rear calipers sticking. They keep doing everything but replacing calipers. They put new pads and rotors on at a cost of...

I recently had brake work done at my dealer. They always do what they call "a walk around", to check car for any dings so they can't be held liable. I followed the fellow outside as he checked my Liberty and wrote down the mileage. He wrote down 53,380 miles. Which I confirmed. After the work...

Yes it is a 4X4, with the 3.7 V-6. This along with the auto ****** are about the only luxuries this thing has. I was always curious about which ****** I had. When I saw this discussion I started investigating. Thanks for all the info guys. I've never rode in another Liberty, so I have nothing to...

Well 2003KJ, you're gonna be upset, cause I just came in from running the final test listed above. My ****** support deffinitely bends towards the back. So I have the right support, and the computer module, also as stated above , my build date is listed as 5-03. I must have got lucky and got...

I'm confused, I have the box on the fender that Marlon talks about, and my build date is 5-03 according to the drivers door info. If they switched over in April of 03, how is it that I have the 45rfe? Which ****** is better?

It's deffinitely a thumping, not shaking. If it is the clips, is it something I can do myself? How do you find and/or replace them?

I bought my 2003 Liberty Sport used this past summer. Since then I've put about 10,000 miles on it. Nothing major has gone wrong, until now. The brakes have always been as smooth as silk, I realize anti-lock brakes pulse, but this is getting annoying. Now anytime I'm doing 50 mph or faster, or...

I was curious if anyone else has experienced this or knows anything about it. I have a 2003 KJ Sport with 3.7 engine. I purchased the Jeep used this past spring. Through the summer months I routinely recorded averages of 19 mpg on my daily route to work and back. Starting about a month ago I...

The problem with the Liberty , and let's stick with the 3.7 gas motor. Is the size of the gas tank. My previous compact car had a 15 gal. tank. My Liberty has a 18.5 gal. tank. It weighs twice as much and has a much larger engine. You can't put a tinker toy gas tank in a suv! I don't know who...
