NHTSA Complaint #10505157 — 2005 JEEP LIBERTY

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED, AND I HAD THE CODE RUN WHICH STATED THE PROBLEM BEING THE TORQUE CLUTCH CONVERTER (TCC) SOLENOID CIRCUIT. UPON RESEARCHING POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS AND COST FOR REPAIR, I NOTICED MANY OTHERS WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM APPEAR. SINCE NO RECALLS WERE AVAILABLE, I HAD THE TCC REPLACED AT THE RECOMMENDATION OF MY RESEARCH AND THE OPINION OF THE LOCAL SHOP WHO SAID THE PROBLEM WAS NOT ELECTRICAL. AT THIS POINT, THE NEW TCC HAS BEEN REPLACED FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO MONTHS AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS NOT REAPPEARED. HOWEVER, EVER SINCE THE LIGHT ORIGINALLY CAME ON, I HAVE NOTICED THE ACCELERATION AND IDLE HAVE BEEN VERY STRANGE. WHILE THE VEHICLE DOES NOT STALL, IT DOES MAKE ODD NOISES WHEN 1) DRIVING AT SPEEDS AROUND 1-30 MPH, 2) DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS UP AN INCLINE, AND 3) WHEN MOVING IN REVERSE INITIALLY. *TR
