| At 3000 miles from new it became difficult to remove the key even though the vehicle was in park. sometimes the driver had to restart the vehicle several times and move the gearshift into park multiple times before the key could be removed. after this occurred many times the vehicle was returned to the dealer for repair. unknown parts were replaced and the problem was fixed. now at 7000 miles from new the problem has reoccurred. from reading blogs on the web this is a longstanding problem that the manufacturer is unable or unwilling to correct permanently! the necessity to carry on with one's day means that the key will be left in the ignition with the car unattended with all the safety implications that implies; theft, children,etc. | |||

| My jeep liberty jerks between 35-55 mph and 1400-1500 rpms. this has caused the car to slip and slid on icy roads. i first noticed it with only 200 miles on the car. it has been into the shop 7 times for this problem. they have reprogrammed the computer, replaced the fuel pump and the problem is still there. chrylser said this is normal. i have another jeep and it does not do this. this is becoming a dangerous problem with the icy conditions where i live. *tr | |||
