What owners wrote
Vehicle was driven up to red light. When light turned green, vehicle would not move leaving it in traffic unable to get out of the way. It was later determined by the dealer to be a failed torque converter. The part was replaced, however, other parts in engine and transmission that could have been damaged were not replaced. Was told by dealer that redesigned torque converter is not yet available but coming.
I own a 2006 jeep liberty crd (diesel) I have had problems with my jeep driving safe now since I bought this truck in jan 2006. My truck will shutter and almost stall on a daily basis in heavy traffic. And back in may 2006 my whole truck stopped dead on a local highway and went into a "limp" mode bringing me from a 45 MPH speed to about 2-3 MPH in a second. I have researched this and have found that the issue seems to be in a faulty torque converter in the transmission.
