NHTSA Complaint #10178390 — 2006 JEEP LIBERTY

I OWN A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY CRD (DIESEL) I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY JEEP DRIVING SAFE NOW SINCE I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IN JAN 2006. MY TRUCK WILL SHUTTER AND ALMOST STALL ON A DAILY BASIS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. AND BACK IN MAY 2006 MY WHOLE TRUCK STOPPED DEAD ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY AND WENT INTO A "LIMP" MODE BRINGING ME FROM A 45 MPH SPEED TO ABOUT 2-3 MPH IN A SECOND. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND HAVE FOUND THAT THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE IN A FAULTY TORQUE CONVERTER IN THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE MEET SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET AND IN PERSON THAT HAVE ALL HAD THE SAME ISSUES. I HAVE TOLD MY DEALER ABOUT THIS WITH 0 OUTCOME OF A FIX, THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THE TRANSMISSION, BUT THIS HAS NOT HELPED EITHER. I ONLY HOPE THAT THE ISSUE DOES NOT HAPPEN WHILE IM ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MY WIFE, WITH THE SUDDEN SPEED LOSS AND LOCK UP OF MY REAR WHEELS I COULD ONLY HOPE THE CARS BEHIND ME COULD STOP IN TIME, COULD A LARGE SEMI THOUGH? THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS ISSUE AND ONLY DOING A SHORT INTERNET SEARCH WILL PROVE THIS. JUST SEARCH FOR LIBERTY CRD LOST TORQUE CONVERTER AND SEE WHAT YOU FIND. I HOPE THAT JEEP WILL HAVE A BETTER SOLUTION SOON FOR THIS. *JB
