2003 Jeep Liberty 4dr SUV
210-horsepower 3.7L V6 4-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range
| 98000 mi US $4 |
Could not shift into 4 wheel drive. Dealer wanted $1300 to repair to replace shift unit. took it home and found a part was broken replaced it my self for 4.00 dollars from parts purchased at Lowes hardware department. |
| 108500 mi | Still being worked on. The Jeep will not shift easily in and out of all wheel drive. I will probably have to get a rebuilt transfer case and have it installed. |
| 127000 mi US $1700 |
Had to replace the transfer case with another rebuilt unit. It now shifts properly into 4 wheel drive either for full time or part time as was done by the manual shift handle. Original unit would not shift at all. |
| 130400 mi US $750 |
Also replaced CV shafts and rebuilt CV joints on front 4x4 driveshaft. |
| 162160 mi US $120 |
replaced front driveshaft |
| 93000 mi US $800 |
The Jeep would not go into 4 wheel drive without a grinding noise. Can ran fine otherwise. The 4WD mechanism did not work. |
| 113000 mi US $2300 |
The torque converter on the Jeep had to be repaired and the transmission rebuilt. |
| 162000 mi | Not sure if was CV or differential joint, but was basically same problem as CV joint. Significant noise, axle would eventually break if not repaired. Required full removal and replacement of front axle (apparently can’t do just one side). Differential leak in front and rear. Front more severe, needed replacement (perhaps of just casing?)—could be done more easily with axle replacement also needed in repair. If not handled, could risk destroying differential. |
| 136400 mi C $985 |
Front Axle shaft replacement, goes from the transfer case to the front differential, for the 4wd. These AREN'T readily available from Chrysler with a minimum 8 week backlog, usually last only 100 000km. Bought 1 custom fabricated for $150 less than Cryslr |
| 144800 mi C $984 |
The driveshaft (CV type) between the transfer case and the front differential wore out. This usually happens at 100000 km, Chrysler couldn't supply the part, had to go to aftermarket custom made part, which ended up being cheaper and heavier duty. |
| 85000 mi US $300 |
Rear axle shaft leaking. Seal on both sides of rear axle replaced |
| 3000 mi | leak from the pinion gear on rear differential and transfer case. |
| 78740 mi C $1600 |
Solenoid pack for the transmission |
