 2005 JEEP Liberty Limited CRD 2.8 Diesel

For sale is a well cared for 2005 Liberty Diesel. It has a 2" lift kit with 245/75/16 tires. Not an over the top lift but just enough to give it the good ground clearance for rough country or lease roads. Yet, the lift is minimal enough to maintain a factory ride. It has  6 disc satellite radio (the satellite radio had been fully activated as long as I've owned it, I've never had to pay for radio service and cannot guarantee how long it will stay activated). It has 4 brand new matching BFG all terrain tires with currently less than 1,000 miles on them. The spare matches and is in like condition. It has leather interior with all the options available at the time aside from heated seats. It does have a block heater, husky cargo liner and front floor mats, tinted windows, 5 custom KMC matching black rims with active TPMS. The vehicle is used, it's very clean but still used and shows expected signs of such. It does show some minor nicks or stains of the interior and some rock chips on the front bumper and hood (Some spots in the pictures are bugs or dirt which will wash off, like under the passenger side turn signal, my apologies), . I do have a brand new bug/ rock shield but have not installed it. Even with the lift and larger tires (approx. 31" tires) the Jeep still gets 20-24mpg around town and 28-30mpg - Impressive!

Note: I work out of state and used this vehicle primarily traveling over the road for work. The vehicle currently has 151,300 miles but it will have a few more. I will be driving it back to the Canton, Texas area from Marietta, Ohio this Friday (April 18th). Up until last week when I was provided a company vehicle, I used this vehicle quiet a bit. I depended on it and utilized my mileage per diem to maintain the vehicle in the best possible condition. Over the last several months / weeks I have managed to spend quiet a bit (over $5,000) on preventive maintenance as I was planning to continue using it. Below is a list of the recent repairs/service within last 5 months:
  • New upper and lower ball joints and control arms
  • Injector service and ring replacement
  • New gel cell battery
  • Four new BFG 10ply all terrain tires (raised white letters turned in) with currently less than 1000 miles
  • New front 4wd axels
  • New Front drive shaft (fabricated to eliminate the commonly faulty issues with the factory shaft ends)
  • New power steering pump and hoses
  • New water pump
  • New transmission cooler unit and hoses

I know these diesel liberty's are rare but there are a few of them out there to choose from. However, it may not be likely that these types of service have yet been performed, and they can be rather costly. This vehicle has been very dependable, however, I cannot guarantee or warranty this vehicle beyond the time of purchase, but I can provide evidence of the service records. I can guarantee it to be in good running condition at time of purchase.

Known issues:
  • The plastic front bumper was damaged at some point with the previous owner and repainted. It matches but does show some minor chipping or flaking (Some spots in the pictures are bugs or dirt which will wash off, like under the passenger side turn signal, my apologies). I could not find any evidence of body work to any of the sheet metal.
  • The drain plug on the aluminum oil pan was stripped when I let a shop change my oil a couple of times back. The replacement oil pan is rather costly. I currently use an aftermarket interference fit plug with no leaks or problems. A more permanent fix would be to drill it out with a 41/64" bit and tap it with a 18mm-1.5 right hand thread. Then install a Fumoto F-104 quarter turn drain valve. This would still be protected by the skid plate and you'd never again be at risk of stripping the aluminum. This would cost less than $60 for the bit, tap, and valve. I can perform this for an additional charge or you can continue using the interference fit plug and being careful not to over tighten.

Buyer is responsible for transport or shipping. $500 deposit due with 48 hours of sale agreement. Must pay balance in full within 7 days.

I may deliver the vehicle in the lower 48 states for an agreed upon fee.

Jeep Renegade sales being held due to powertrain issue [UPDATE]

Wed, May 20 2015

UPDATE: An unnamed FCA US source has clarified to Automotive News that while there is a software issue, it does not concern the transmission. The Jeep Renegade appears to be facing early software problems that are similar to the ones at the introduction of the Cherokee a few years ago. The issue is keeping the brand's latest compact crossover away from dealers until the situation can be resolved. The fault reportedly deals with the software controlling the Renegade's nine-speed automatic transmission. FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne briefly talked about what was happening in an interview with Automotive News. "I'm having a very bad engineering day," he said. "It's a combination of attributes of that vehicle that is making my life horrible." The company boss predicted at the longest it could take until mid-June to fix things. Through April, Jeep has sold 5,157 Renegades, including 4,214 of them in that month alone. Autoblog reached out to an FCA US spokesperson to learn more about the software problem, but the company had no comment. Getting the software right to control the nine-speed automatic plagued development of the Cherokee. The issues delayed the model's launch in 2013, and the company was still releasing improvements for some vehicles this year.

Certain Chrysler owners eligible for buyback program

Mon, Jul 27 2015

Certain car owners whose Chrysler vehicles contain dangerous defects will soon have a way to get rid of their lemons without losing money. As part of an agreement with federal regulators, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has agreed to buy back more than 500,000 vehicles susceptible to veering out of control without warning at above market-value prices. The deal mainly covers certain models of RAM trucks, the Dodge Dakota pickup and Dodge Durango SUV. Further, owners of more than 1.5 million Jeep Liberty and Grand Cherokees at heightened risk for lethal fires are eligible to trade in their vehicles at above market value or, alternately, get a gift certificate if they prefer to have repairs made. Chrysler has "a heavy responsibility to make sure the products they make are safe for the traveling public," said Mark Rosekind, administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. "... Here, we are sending an unambiguous signal to industry that if you skirt the laws or violate the law, or don't live up to the responsibility that consumers expect, we are going to penalize you." The buy-back and trade-in options for motorists come as part of an unprecedented penalty NHTSA slapped against Chrysler for violating federal motor-vehicle safety laws. Chrysler will pay a $105 million fine, the highest ever levied by the regulatory agency. In addition to the buy-backs, Chrysler also agreed to an independent monitor for three years. Investigators had outlined problems in the company's conduct in 23 recalls that affected more than 11 million defect vehicles. As part of a consent-order agreement, Chrysler acknowledged it did not notify vehicle owners of recalls in an effective manner and did not notify NHTSA of safety problems. Though those recalls affected millions of drivers, the buy-back and trade-in options are only for a small portion of the vehicles involved. Because Chrysler struggled to fix the problem and no repair was apparent, Rosekind said the buy-backs are reserved "for customers who didn't have a remedy." Buy-backs are for trucks and SUVs affected by three recalls that occurred in 2013 (recalls 13V-038, 13V-527 and 13V-529), that addressed a rear-axle pinion nut that could come loose and cause a loss of vehicle control. Those recalls covered 579,228 vehicles, including 2009-2012 Ram 1500, 2500, 3500, 4500 and 5500 trucks, 2009-2012 Dodge Dakotas, 2009 Chrysler Aspen and the 2009 Dodge Durango.

Researchers who busted VW cheating say FCA's diesels dirty, too

Tue, Jun 13 2017

The Wall Street Journal today reported on an upcoming report from West Virginia University's Center for Alternative Fuels Engines and Emissions, which is the same lab that investigated Volkswagen emissions cheating. The report, which will be released in a matter of weeks, alleges that 2014 and 2015 model year Jeep and Ram vehicles with diesel engines emit excess pollution. But it does not specify whether the company used defeat devices. Since the report discusses Jeep Grand Cherokees, and that engine is also available in the Ram 1500, it's safe to assume that one of the implicated engines is the EcoDiesel V6, a unit actually produced by VM Motori. It's unclear whether the report covers any of the Cummins engines used in heavier-duty Ram pickups. This report comes on the heels of a federal investigation into FCA's diesel vehicles. That investigation focused on the EcoDiesel engine used in 2014-2016 vehicles. The feds were seeking a fine of up to $4.6 billion. The EPA and the State of California also previously accused FCA of using a defeat device on the same vehicles back in January. FCA, for its part, alleges that the WVU study might have been commissioned by people interested in suing the company, and disputes the testing methodology, according to the WSJ. We've reached out to WVU to confirm which engines are implicated in its study and will update this post when we have more to share. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
