WIFE WAS GETTING GAS, WENT TO START THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD NOT START, BATTERY IS GOOD, KEY TURNS ON AND EVERYTHING POWERS UP. BENCH TESTED THE STARTER AND IT IS FINE, IT JUST WONT START. HAVE CHECKED ONLINE AND THERE ARE SEVERAL THOUSAND OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

ON JULY 23, 2015, WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MILES/HOUR, THE ODOMETER, SPEEDOMETER AND CRUISE CONTROL SIMULTANEOUSLY STOPPED WORKING FOR NO APPARENTLY KNOWN REASON. WHEN ARRIVING AT MY DESTINATION IN ANOTHER STATE, (APPROX. 60 MILES), I RESEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR POTENTIAL PROBLEMS. A NUMBER OF OTHER 2002 JEEP LIBERTY OWNERS HAD EXPERIENCED SIMILAR PROBLEMS. ADDITIONALLY, SEVERAL OWNERS HAD EXPERIENCED ENGINE STALLING WHEN BRAKING AT A STOPLIGHT OR INTERSECTION. ON JULY 28, 2015, WHEN TRAVELING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, I PULLED OFF TO THE SAFETY LANE TO TAKE A TELEPHONE CALL. WHILE I WAS SLOWLY PUSHING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO MOVE SAFELY TO CURB LANE, THE ENGINE STOPPED WORKING, AS DID MY STEERING. QUICK THINKING - HAVING READ PRIOR OWNERS' COMMENTS - TOLD ME TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND TURN THE IGNITION KEY ON. THAT WORKED! I GOT THE CAR SAFELY TO THE SIDE LANE. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING PROBLEMS CORRECTED; HOWEVER, OTHER OWNERS HAVE STATED THAT THE PROBLEM OF STALLING PERSISTS.
