Stalling problem with 2003 Jeep Liberty

Jan 17, 2006 6 Replies

Has anyone owning a 2003 Liberty Sport had problems with it stalling while you were driving along? My Jeep had not given me any trouble until now. I have had it three years (71,000 miles). Recently, I was driving about 35 mph, and it stalled. It would not restart. I had no steering or brakes. I had to let it roll to a stop and get it towed to a local dealership.



Not an empty gas tank, duh!! They replaced a computer, crank sensor, throttle sensor, and two ignition coils. This is a growing problem with the older Liberty's. I hope the new models don't have the same problem. I am thinking about upgrading to an '06

I told people not to buy the first few production years, but they wouldn't listen to me. Hope you have better luck with the new one.

There is nothing wrong with a first year production vehicle that four more years of production can't fix. :)

Thanks. I just picked up a 2006 Sport, 4X2 this evening. The powertrain warranty is only 36,000 miles. I hope you are right, that they are better, and that the shorter warranty is not a reflection on the expected performance or lack of. I think it has been long enough to get all of the kinks out.
