Your clutch assembly on the compressor may be shot. Try this: Open the Hood, Turn on the Car, Turn on the AC, if the Clutch does not engage, then then you can tell because only the pulley that surrounds it will spin. While the car is running, take a broom handle and poke the face of the...

I get a thud once in a while and don't care. I can feel the shifts like that in many automatics. I just went over 150,000.00 miles on mine. If the tranny goes tomorrow it's still lasted the longest for me of any previous automobiles that I've owned.

I agree about it probably just being the battery. I had this happen twice on me. The battery can short out so it won't take a charge, which it did on me. Just replace the battery and you should be fine. Some hack mechanic tried to talk me into replacing the alternator the second time it happened...

I sat in the Jeep Compass the other day and was somewhat impressed with the construction. It felt pretty solid and I think with the 4x4 model it represents the Jeep brand rather well, so I'll eat a little crow about that one, but they're going to replace it by 2013. The only thing that will...

The current version of the Liberty is kind of an ugly vehicle-especially the front end which kind of makes it look like an old person's car. I was never interested in it and I rarely see these on the roadway. The older Liberty, although not everyone's cup of tea, at least had a different look to...

If your battery is not keeping a charge, it could either be the alternator or the battery shorted out on you. My original battery shorted out on me in a parking lot. Within three years. the mopar replacement battery shorted out on me at a filling stating. That mopar replacement, just was slowly...

I just had my AC serviced twice. They recharged it two months ago. It needed that, but that wasn't the problem. The Clutch assembly on the compressor was going bad. Specifically, the bearing insided the clutch assembly was going bad. Open your hood, turn your car and a/c on and watch the...

Determine the consistency of the fluid. If its thick and oily, it could come from the power steering, transmission, or transfer case. The anti-freeze that a Liberty takes is also pinkish in color. It's just a little bit oily. Take it to a mechanic and have it checked. Its always better to...

I agree these changes will not destroy the Jeep brand, because the Wrangler will pretty much remain a brute, but to not have a muscular Cherokee type vehicle in the line up is just not right. I really don't want sissy people driving something with just the Jeep badge on it anyways. Let them...

I'm not sure why the Compass was ever introduced. People don't own a Jeep because they're looking for the most comfortable pavement ride or better than average fuel economy. They buy a Jeep because it signifies off road capability. Of course, these watered down vehicles didn't sell with a Jeep...
