On 2006 Jeep Liberty renegade activates for no apparent reason, causing vehicle to lose power/choke out/stumble on acceleration. Problem occurred intermittently up to 3 or 4 times a week. Tended to happen often when going around corners in 1st or 2nd gear, and sometimes when just going straight. Sometimes the light will flash while the loss of power occured, but sometimes not. . When this occurred pavement was dry and there were no abrupt manuevers no reason for this system to activate. This was a serious safety issue that could cause an accident. Purchased vehicle new from dealer in November '06. Dealer acknowledged problem in March '07 , claiming they were waiting for a software update from Chrysler. In June '07 I returned to the dealer and addressed the problem again, and I was told that there were no tsbs, no codes, and they could not duplicate the problem . They did not acknowledge"the problem this time. They acknowledged it in writing on my service receipt in March). Even on the way home from the dealer today it happened again when I exited an off ramp from the highway.
