This is a new liberty crd (diesel) with 610 miles that was accelerating from a border patrol checkpoint on I-8 east of san diego. While accelerating to ~65 the vehicle suddenly lost power in heavy freeway traffic and slowed to 35 MPH even though the engine was running good. This sudden loss of power caused overtaking vehicles to swerve violently to avoid an accident including at least 2 panic stops. When the vehicle was safely on the shoulder (engine was idling fine) the car was shutdown and restarted which apparently recycled the computer and cleared the condition. Vehicle has performed fine since that incident.

2006 jeep liberty was leased in february 2006. In may, the car lost power steering, power brakes and completely cut off the engine while driving on the road, unable to restart. The dealership could not figure out what was wrong with the car. Sent the car home with us after keeping it for 5 days and assured us that the car was fine. August 3, 2006 same exact problem happened while driving the car, no power steering, power brakes and car completely cut off the engine, car would not start again. Car is in dealership. They are still trying to figure out what is wrong with it.
