I am having shudder /shudder at anywhere between 30-45 mph. It feels like my car is searching for a gear , it surges. Torque converter could be the issue.
We recently purchased a 2007 Jeep Liberty sport. After owning it for less than a month we started to notice that the vehicle would shake (or shudder) when maintaining speeds between 35-70 mph. The problem seemed to get worse when driving up hills. We took the vehicle in to a local Jeep dealership and the torque converter was replaced. We have had the vehicle back for approximately a month now and are experiencing the shudder again. We have an appointment with the service shop next week.
- the contact stated that while the 2007 Jeep Liberty with 32000 current mileage was in the shop for a lower ball joint and a torque converter recall the mechanic cut the shroud that covered the fan . Therefore, the fan was exposed. The dealer admitted to cutting the shroud, and they will replace it.
The vehicle, when going down my driveway, steep gravel, unlocks the torque converter at around 1400-1500 rpm, allowing the vehicle to 'freewheel', similar to my old 1933 Plymouth. Despite numerous complaints over the past two years, the Chrysler representatives insist that this is normal. Every transmission shop I have consulted, and everyone I know, believes this is not a normal function of the transmission, and in my one million plus miles of driving, I have never encountered it on any other automatic transmission.
2007 Jeep Liberty with several transmission issues. Consumer states Chrysler never gave a response to his letter and wants the lifetime warranty extended since Chrysler changed it 4 months after he purchased vehicle and a replacement transmission. The consumer stated the dealer reprogrammed the ecu several times, replaced the torque converter twice, replaced the pump, replaced the valve body, cleaned debris out of the pump, serviced the clutch, but the transmission still made a horrible noise periodically. Since the last attempt to fix the problem, the vehicle had a poor throttle response. The consumer also stated it wouldn't creep into gear like a normal automatic transmission; instead it needed significant throttle application to get moving, then it lunged.
