    HomeLink & Bluetooth Overhead EVIC (Electronic Vehicle Information Center)

    Hi All, It's been a while since I tuned in here. I bought a 2006 Liberty Sport 4x4 gaser for my wife in 2009. It now has 71,000 miles and my wife loves it more than ever. I have done OEM style upgrades for her like adding Renegade wheels, leather, 6-CD radio, fancy Jeep embroidered floor...

    Cannot Open Rear Tailgate

    The part arrived quickly, but then my troubles started. Apparently when I reassembled the broken module, then reused it until the new part arrived, I did not watch the outer white latch feature during assembly of the module itself. This resulted in a "DOOR WON'T OPEN EVER" condition. After an...

    Cannot Open Rear Tailgate

    Thanks but no thanks. For some parts "yes", but for that part "not for me". I just ordered the pricey new part in hopes it will outlast the rest of the vehicle of which we plan to keep for so many more years.

    Cannot Open Rear Tailgate

    I removed the latch last night and examined it. It appeared to be in fine physical condition. No rust or other corrosion. With the two halves separated and the internal levers and actuators revealed, I had my wife lock and unlock the vehicle to learn the plastic-encased internal electronic...

    Cannot Open Rear Tailgate

    Our 2006 Liberty Sport 4x4 rear door (tailgate) won't open, but the window does. With all doors unlocked, when I pull on the rear handle, the rear window opens and I hear that 3 click sequence but the tail gate won't open. It started out as a rare intermittent problem, getting worse and worse...

    Very Nice & Affordable Wheel Locks That Match

    Yep, Those are the OEM ones I originally had on. I feel that having wheels locks is better than no locks, something is better than nothing.....especially for the spare tire. The new locks are more robust than the OEM ones in regards to connectivity with a deep-seating key over the locking...

    Very Nice & Affordable Wheel Locks That Match

    Four years ago I purchased a set of OEM Mopar wheel locks for my wife's Liberty. They stuck out far out from the wheels with a big round gray rubber looking style. They looked absolutely ugly on my wife's Liberty. After 4 years of looking at them with a frown, last weekend I stumbled on an...

    Health Reasons - Quiet & Snow/Off Road Tires

    Okay, it is now April 2014. With 20,000 miles on our Destination A/Ts, they too became extremely noisy. Upon spin balancing them, I cannot blame the tires. I blame the binding action when in 4WD on dry pavement and also from being towed behind our motor home. Since the tire thread is good...

    Need QUIET Tires Real Bad, Any Suggestions?

    Just a follow-up to what I did and the intial results. I decided to go for the cheapest 235-70-16 tires I could find, figuring it is better to replace the tires more often instead of trying to get my money's worth from more expensive tires. Discount Tire has Prodigy H/T for $73 a piece...

    Need QUIET Tires Real Bad, Any Suggestions?

    Thank you all for your input. I never did share that my noisy Destinations with 25,000 miles of wear are A/Ts. They are P235/70/R16 matching my door sticker, confirmed last night. I looked at the LEs and was favoring them per your inputs, but the expense had me hurting. I decided to search...

    Need QUIET Tires Real Bad, Any Suggestions?

    I assume you never towed your 07 Liberty behind a motor home during the 20,000 mile period? I am looking for a tire that will remain quiet throughout it's life, or reasonably quiet till the end. Our Destinations with 25,000 truly play with "The Mind". There is plenty of thread left, sinful...

    Need QUIET Tires Real Bad, Any Suggestions?

    Hey, Thanks for stepping into my thread here. Rotating the tires has been done a few times, but to be honest, all it accomplished is to make all 4 tires rumble. I think what is happening when being towed behind the motor home, the front tires lag behind in the turns, so there is minor skidding...

    Need QUIET Tires Real Bad, Any Suggestions?

    Hi All, This for my wife's 2006 Liberty Sport 4x4. Maintaining stock rim & tire size. My wife is going nuts with road noise from her Liberty tires. I cannot blame the tires because I think they developed a rumble from being towed behind our motor home. The tires happen to be Firestone...

    Serpentine Belt Tensioner - Watch Out For This

    Just letting you know that a friend of mine works on a lot of Chrysler 3.7L engines including the Liberty. He says the serpentine belt tensioner spring (not the pulley itself) seems to be consistently breaking at around 60,000 miles. He suggests to replace it at 50,000 miles. With 56,000...

    Possible Recall 2002-2007?

    Recall Notice - Installing Rear Hitch To Protect Fuel Tank We got a letter in the mail a few days ago. Our 2006 Liberty will be involved in a voluntary safety recall sometime soon. Apparently under certain rear end collisions, the fuel tank ruptures or at least leaks fuel onto the accident...

    WTB: Stock 2002-2007 Stock Alloy Rims

    For a 2006 Liberty Sport.... I am in the Chicago area. Anyone around me have a set of four stock 16" alloys they want to part with? I don't care if they are polished, painted, or Rubicon rims, as long as they are in nice condition.

    PCV valve replacement

    I won't take offense to Tom's comment here as I am not sure he meant it for my previous reply. At age 55, I am not into sound systems anyway. I do plan to replace the PCV valve soon, the next time I pass by an Autozone. I just don't feel it to be critical to be done immediately, especially...

    PCV valve replacement

    I got the PCV valve out per your instruction. I didn't have a new one on-hand. The old one rattled but seemed a tad gooey inside from dirty oil so I soaked and flushed it in kerosene and it rattles like new so I put it back in. Next time I'm at an auto parts store, I'll buy a new PCV and get...
