Hi Guys-
First off, the thread on the water stopping the sepantine belt was quite amusing, props to the respected members for their answers =D>
I have a question driven purely from curiosity, since it happened when I first picked up my Libby 3 months ago. I went to take delivery and while the dealer was reviewing all of the features with me, I noticed that with the engine running, the tach was at 0. After a quick test drive around the block (the vehicle was brand spanking new), we also determined that the speedometer and odometer were dead as well.
It was a Saturday with a union shop (no mechanics working on weekends), so they told me to go home and they'd call if they could get someone to come in and fix it. A few hours later, got the call and all was good.
My question is, what exactly was this problem and how did they fix it?
I should also note that I worked in the transportation department at my university a while back and we took delivery of a new chrysler sebring that also displayed the same fault. I had to drive it back to the dealer with no speedometer on the highway (that was interesting to say the least). Anyway, having seen this problem before, I wasn't worried that the Jeep was a lemon. So, anybody know about this issue?
