One problem related to cruise control has been reported for the 2003 Jeep Liberty. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2003 Jeep Liberty based on all problems reported for the 2003 Liberty.
While traveling on damp pavement in damp/misty (but not rainy) conditions, on a roadway with a moderate uphill slope and gradual left curve, the cruise control down-shifted from over-drive directly into 1st gear. The increased torque on the rear wheels/tires caused the car to lose rear wheel traction and the subsequent complete loss of control of the car. The Jeep Liberty spun around a total of 540 degrees and came to rest in a ditch off the opposite side of the road, some damage. This characteristic of the cruise control downshifting multiple gears has been confirmed on many other occasions in this model of car, nearly causing loss of control depending on roadway conditions.
