I have a 2003 jeep liberty and I legit spend $80 or more per week on gas?

Are these cars just gas guzzlers? I got it this year

Question about tires: I'm currently running 225/75r16 snow tires and I'm wanting to upgrade to 245/75r16. Is this safe on a liberty?

Transmission temp light on and alternator burned plastic cap

Been driving for about 4 hours through 85F degree hot weather in my jeep liberty sport from 2006. The last hour in my transmission temp light came on after driving through some hills. It went off after about 15 min driving slower on a straight road due to traffic. AC hasn't been working 100% for a while, but on this trip I wanna say that it completely gave out,so I switched it off and opened the windows. Noticed some plastic smell. When I got home I checked and the plastic cover of the nut on top of the alternator was completely burned away. Now I'm wondering if this all could be connected? I'm reaching 100k miles, so I assume a transmission fluid change is a given. I'm the third owner, but I assume it was never done. Aircon might just be gas missing or leak? Alternators do get hot, so is that just because of the extra hot weather? I was a little low on coolant, which I refilled when back as well. Not sure if the same coolant also feeds the alternator in such old cars. Any tips appreciated. Love my liberty

Retrofit Seats?

Got some really dirty cloth seats in my new liberty and would like to upgrade them. Leather seats are super hard to get by where I’m at so was wondering if anyone retrofitted some other seats? E.g from a Grand Cherokee, Wrangler or even a completely different car?

Hello Liberty Owners.....I have a question.......

I am in the market for a Liberty and ha e noticed that quite a few do not have a backup camera, depending on age and the edition of course.

If I were to purchase one without a backup cam, are the hard to install after market? IS it something I would have to bring to a mechanic? Or is a d.i.y. type thing.

Being a "girl" at the young age of 59, how hard would it be for me? If no go, my husband does know his way around cars, but not more than installing stereo, speakers, oil changes, etc. Def not an engine mechanic.

Also, this is a weird question yet I noticed it on most liberties that are for sale. Most between 2009-2012 all seem to be at 100-125,000 miles. Os there anything I should be aware of at that mileage regarding breakdown of something being very common?

I own a 2003 Liberty and NEED to get a newer one soon. Mine runs perfect @ 227,000 miles and has been well taken care of. People cannot believe it's 22 years old. And I love her. Not getting rid of her until she let's me know it's time, and that she's tired. She owes me nothing. Thanks for your suggestions, advice and answers. If you have any I put at all, by all means, I'm open to it all!!

Dash warning lights

2008 Liberty, just pick up, had just an sirbag light on and previous owner disconnected the horn because it was going off. My wife has been driving it around and last night, she hit the highbeam on the multi function switch snd now the abs, esb, and one other light came on. Is it possible this is all do to a bad clock spring? I see there are angle detectors that could affect esb and abs. The truck has a sunroof that had leaked in the past, could water have damaged the clock spring and or other components that may cause these symptoms? Runs great, bunch of lights though

After asking around for what suspension lift would work on an '04 Liberty I stumbled across BDS suspensions and they're lift looks fantastic after having it installed 🙌 tires are definitely next in the works so that it ties the look together and helps with traction 💪

Both of my Headlights sometimes start flickering while I'm driving..

I have to stop and restart it for it to stop but than sometimes no matter what it'll continue to do it anyway.. I have a 2003 jeep liberty and wasn't sure if anyone else had this issue. Thanks

Bubbling Near Passenger Side of Dashboard when Accelerating

Hi, I have a 2005 liberty sport 3.7L V6 and noticed that on the passenger side while accelerating, near the dashboard a bubbling sound is coming out. I assume it’s the coolant reservoir, but I’m not entirely sure. It’s not shooting out a bunch of smoke out the exhaust, it doesn’t smell like coolant under the hood either, oil doesn't seem milky as well. I noticed that the coolant does not actually bubble like a boil. It looks to shoot towards the top of the reservoir. It will rapidly fill and empty partially when revving the engine. The coolant reservoir is full and I haven’t noticed any leakage. I had put in some coolant system sealer about a month ago and the problem seemed to resolve but it came back. It only seems to do it when the engine is warming and when accelerating from a full stop.

Jeep lock/unlock makes loud noise

Any idea what this is? I’m thinking battery, hydraulic issue? This is when I push key fob. The hatch won’t open but doors do.

2011 Jeep Liberty misfiring

My KK is giving me these codes p0300 p0301 p0302 all misfiring. All of the sparks wires/coils and plugs were changed last October 2023. Any thoughts? Thank you in advance.

Rear Axle Replacement or Rebuild

Trying to help a friend decide on their 2008 Liberty.

The rear axle started to smoke, and bearings are gone.

We're looking at either doing a replacement set of bearings, or swapping out with a used rear axle.

Costs quoted by mechanics in the area are basically the same for either.

There's a gamble on either, but I'm curious - since I'm not an expert on these - what the failure rate is and which folks lean to in this situation.

Searching has shown some higher rate of rear axle failures, but it seems to mostly be bearings. I'm inclined to replace the axle since it started to smoke, and other damage could be in there.

But I'm curious to hear thoughts on this from people with more experience on this car. Thanks!
