“My name is Teresa (Teri for short) my Jeep 2006 Liberty is coming up code P0700 not sure what to make of this. I have an appointment with a Jeep dealer and I would like to know what I'm in for.”View original
“I have an appointment with a Jeep dealer and I would like to know what I'm in for. The Liberty seems to run fine most of the time but I noticed it bogging down on the highway after a 90 minute drive like it was loosing some power or sluggish and the engine light came on.”View original
“Hey all, Recently my 2005 KJ has been throwing P0700 codes intermittently. When driving the car the shift from what feels like 3rd to 4th can be very hard at times.”View original
“Mostly when there is a sharp incline or ive slowed down and re accelerated, after a few hits it may or may not go into limp mode. The thing that's doing my head in is if drive the car more gently, accelerate somewhat slowly/easily you won't feel any harsh shifts, only under some load it seems.”View original
“I would hit the accelerator and it was as if the car was in neutral. When I stopped and tried to accelerate again the car would go fine through first gear then when it tried to shift into second it slipped back into neutral.”View original
“Also reverse does not work, it feels like it does not engage at all. I thought it could maybe be a problem with the transfer case position switch so I replaced that and the codes are still there and the driving problem has not changed.”View original
