This is my thanks to this forum!
About 40 miles into a 500 mile roundtrip, my speedo quit working. Cruise control would not work as well. Googled 'jeep liberty speedometer not working' and found this forum. Read the appropriate posts, etc. I did the instrument cluster reset (turn Jeep on while holding down trip odometer button) and I did the find the error code process (key to accessory, to off, to accessory, to off, to accessroy) and low and behold a P0500 error code. Wife got nervous and suggested (strongly) I take it to our local dealer. After several days of non-existent customer service they were able to tell me I had a P0500 error. Well, duh! They wanted $320 to replace the speed sensor (Yes, I had already pointed to that as the potential problem.) plus about $90 for their advanced diagnostic efforts. I needed my Jeep ('cause the wife's was in the body shop through no fault of her own), so ... I called AutoZone and they located the part and were going to hold it for me, I left work at 3:30, picked up the part, dropped off the rental, picked my Jeep back up (figuratively), replaced the sensor myself (I'm a desk jockey, what do I know from Jeep maintenance!), test drove it, and was in my easy chair sucking down some nice red wine by 6:00. Posts like I read in this forum gave me the confidence to tackle this myself, so THANK YOU!!! Oh, the AutoZone cost for the speed sensor was around $40...
