2002 Jeep Liberty Limited 3.7 from North America
Summary:
Nice, but has first year bugs
Faults:
Body control module went out. The symptoms were numerous and included no headlights, speedometer, air conditioning, power locks, overhead console, or horn.
General Comments:
We were happy with the car and hope that this is a fluke, but found out that one other Liberty that was sold by the dealership also had the same problem. This leads me to believe that it is a manufacturing problem and not just a fluke. Hopefully the replacement part will not have the same problem. The parts guy said that the parts are in short supply which also makes me wonder if this is not a widespread problem. Overall, we like the car and are hoping that this will be the only problem, but you would like a car to at least get to its first oil change before it spends a week in the shop.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

I have had my jeep liberty taken to the service department no less than 4 times for transmission problems. I have the same problems you have... the jerking, pulling to the side and the hard shifting (especially after I've used the 2-wheel drive or the 4-wheel drive mode). Every time I take it in the service technicians tell me that there is nothing wrong. It makes me wonder what they consider to be "bad" because it sure feels like someone is ramming into the back of my jeep at about 5-10 miles an hour every time I shift.
It also pulls to the right. I have taken the jeep in for that problem 2 separate times and took it to a tire dealership and had it evaluated. I had the technician do an alignment, but that didn't help so he didn't charge me. Go figure!
Let me know what happened with your transmission. I'd love to know if your problems were fixed, and how?
Thanks!
