    low fuel light distance?

    Fuel Reserve Best plan is to not run below 1/4 tank full. No need to carry extra gas (why do that?) or bite your nails driving on a light.

    They Said Bearing replacement

    Bearings OK, just another thought. About 3k miles before the "bearing" issue began, I had the oil changed like I usually do at the dealer. Since it was time for differential fluid changes, I had that also done. Now my question is, if they removed the oil from the rear diff but forgot to fill...

    They Said Bearing replacement

    Recently my 2005 Limited started to make a whining sounding similar to "rrrrrrrrrrr" best as I can describe. At first I thought tire wear as the Jeep has 19K on the clock. Anyhow, I took it to the dealer I purchased it from and sure enough, they found that bearing(s) in the rear axle are bad and...

    2005 Trans Shift Problem

    My 2005 Liberty Limited infrequently shudders or shifts hard from 1st to 2nd. It is more pronounced on hard acceleration. Any ideas? Service Bulletins? Others have the problem? Jeep characteristic?

    Is the liberty really rugged?

    The vehicle is really a good selection. I don't off road so I can't attest to its capabilities in that area. The Jeep is built by folks in Ohio and they do a good job! My 2005 Limited has taken me from Nebraska and back twice in addition to local use without any problems. Now I must tell...

    Oil Filters

    As to the ex Fram employee, he could have an axe to grind with Fram. I've seen his remarks on the internet some years ago. Although Fram does not have the construction of quality filters consider this. More vehicles are using the brand than all others combined. If the product caused engine...

    Heater Control: Why

    What if I never used that setting but always used another setting (where the compressor never turns on)?

    Heater Control: Why

    when selecting the air flow to the floor, the A/C compressor runs? Selecting any other air flow direction does not turn on the compressor (if that's what is running). I've seen this subject posted on other Jeep web sites but there was no answer to the question.

    Spinnng Tires

    while in 4x full. Backing out of my driveway, the rear wheels hit a patch of ice/snow and the wheels began spinning. The front tires were on dry pavement. I put the Jeep in 4x fulltime and it acted like the Liberty was still in 2x.

    Tires

    hyedipin: Thks for the charts you posted. Good info for me. Makes a good case for or against tire mfg's. Looks like it will make my choice easier and more informed, less subjective, more objective.

    Tires

    OK, I've seen some posts here using the term "silent" in their description of a tire. What's with that? Also, any tire better than another for improving gas mileage? Looks like there are several choices for a 17". Because of the expense, I'll have to wait until my current OEMs wear out. What's...

    Tires

    Yeah, I've got 17s. With that limitation, what's the best 17"?

    Tires

    I have stock Goodyear Wrangler tires on my 2005 Liberty Limited. What are the best tires for all driving conditions? When in snow or driving up my driveway, the traction I expect is not there.

    In Some Cases

    I appreciate the replies I've read. Yes I like our Jeep Liberty which I ordered from the factory and picked up 7 weeks after ordering. One day off the rail car and 3 miles on it. Fresh, no showroom/lot time. I traced the order from entry to build, rail load ship to, unload, truck to dealer via a...

    In Some Cases

    Sorry, I meant Qudra-trac. Anyhow, I had the GC fo 12 yrs and it handled snow great. I'd say a larger percentage of L owners get the same gas mileage as I do, it's just the few who post here that may get a little better mpg. I got 18+ when the L had 3 miles on it, now has 15k. Use mobil 1 5/30...

    In Some Cases

    I'd like to have my 1993 Grand Cherokee back. I like the 2005 Liberty very much but a recent trip to AZ from NE avg mileage 18.8 and squirrelly in the snow here in NE has me concerned. The GC had a quadramatic transfer drive which made it a great drive in snow. Anyhow, I'm looking at 2007...

    Transmission Shift

    I have a 2005 Limited. Once in awhile, when accelerating from a stop, the transmission shifts from low to the next gear and makes a slight shudder that can be felt in the car. Any idea what may cause this?

    Rear Gate/Window

    Rear Gate/Window

    I"ve noticed an intermittant noise from the rear gate and/or window like a rubber squeek on glass(?). This has become more pronounced over a long period of time. I believe it began a few months after I bought my 2005. Now that its cold, it is more prevelant. Anybody else experience this?
