While I was driving westbound on washington avenue approaching main street the transmission began slipping. Upon closer examination I discovered the transmission fluid was leaking along the fresh fallen snow behind me.

Driving along and rear right power window started to slip down. I tried to put it up but it made grinding noises and kept slipping. It started to rain, so rain came into vehicle. Also could not go to doc appt - could not leave unsecured vehicle in parking lot. Had to come home and stick a wooden wedge into window to keep it up. I was afraid window would fall into door frame and break. Hard to pay attention to road while constantly looking over shoulder at window.

I own a 2003 jeep liberty and have had it for 2 years now and have every problem you can think of. My warranty recently expired 6,000 miles ago. My warranty expired at 75,000 miles and at 78,000 miles my air conditioner broke and had to replace that it cost me $900.00. Just yesterday may car would not shift passed second gear, I have an automatic transmission, I noticed it when I was getting on the highway. Lately I have been noticing that the transmission seems to be slipping but never could find the problem because my transmission fluid was always fine. So yesterday I went to aamco transmissions and they said it was the TCM so they told me it would cost $440.00 total. So they went to order the part but come to find out no one has it and the place that has all the TCM parts wont ship them till the 24th of september. So here it is september 3rd and I wont have my car fixed for the whole month of september. I don't understand why they wont ship them now. Also, they told me that they have been selling out of TCM fast because everyone is always needing them.

No warning just driving vehicle as usual and engine stalled in traffic, now I am told I need a new engine and after researching have found several other incidents on the net for similar failures, oil has been changed regularly, engine does have a little over 100,000 miles but this shouldn't just happen, others have indicated something about the valve seat slipping causing such problems I don't know.

Parking brake failure while loading my boat nearly cost my son and myself our lives. Backed truck and trailer onto ramp to load boat. Noticed the truck slipping on the ramp and suddenly rolled off the ramp hitting my boat and my son had to crawl out the door and swim for safety. He is six years old. Vehicle was not running with the transmission in gear and the parking brake engaged.

Both rear passenger windows on my 2003 jeep liberty have fallen off of the track. When I took my car into the dealership, a man who worked there informed me that this happens "all the time to liberty's." he claimed the motor was too small. I was upset when the dealership wanted $350 to fix the problem. I live in an area where it rains often, and the window slipping allows for water to get in. Furthermore, a friend who owns a liberty has the same problem. I am wondering how common this problem really is, and whether or not there should be a recall.

Vehicle operates properly through 3rd gear prior to the torque converter clutch engaging. Once the torque converter clutch engages, there is a noticeable slipping. this is evident at/and above 50 MPH, both on 3rd gear (with od off) and on 4th gear (with od on.) the slipping is not intermittent; it occurs once the vehicle is hot, and when there is a increase in engine load, such as when going up hills (long grade) or when the throttle pressure is increased. It is also most noticeable with the air conditioning on. The slip stops (or at least I do not feel it) once the tcc disengages.
