WHEN IT'S COLD AND EITHER SNOWY OR ICY AT ANY SPEED "5 MPH -- 35 MPH MY JEEP LIBERTY FAILS TO STOP FOR A VERY LONG DISTANCE. AT 5 MPH IT TAKES WELL OVER 30-40 FEET. THE ABS MAKE NOISE LIKE THEY ARE TRYING TO DO SOMETHING. BUT ITS AS IF THEY NEVER ACTUALLY ENGAGE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD TO USE A SNOWY BANK SEVERAL TIMES SO I WOULDN'T ROLL STRAIGHT INTO AN INTERSECTION. THIS VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS SINCE I HAVE HAD IT. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN NUMEROUS TIMES AND TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG. MY FATHER DROVE THIS SAME VEHICLE AND HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO HIM. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. FOR SAFETY REASONS I LEAVE MY LIBERTY IN THE GARAGE ON SNOWY DAYS AND TAKE MY FORD TRUCK OUT INSTEAD. I DO NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE WITH MY TRUCK. *NM

WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP ON THE INTERSTATE WITH THE LIGHTS ON -- MY ABS LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED, THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY MY SPEEDOMETER WAVING UP AND DOWN (FOR EXAMPLE I STOPPED AND THE SPEEDOMETER WAS BOUNCING FROM 0 TO 100 MPH), FOLLOWED BY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATING AND THEN SOMETIME IN THERE I REALIZED THE ODOMETER, BOTH IN THE DASHBOARD INSTRUMENT PANEL AND IN THE OVERHEAD INSTRUMENT PANEL STOPPED WORKING. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE VIA THE INTERNET AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A FAIRLY POPULAR ISSUE DUE TO WIRE SHORTS. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE SPEED SENSOR UNDER THE REAR AXLE JUST TO HAVE THE JEEP DO IT AGAIN IN ABOUT 10 MINUTES OF IN CITY DRIVING WITH JUST ONE PERSON IN THE VEHICLE, AND NOW THE JEEP IS HEADED TO THE SHOP. I AM UNSURE IF THE ABS SYSTEM IS WORKING PROPERLY DURING THIS TIME WHICH IS HAZARDOUS, NOT TO MENTION THE ODOMETER ISN'T RUNNING WHICH IS ILLEGAL. *JB
