I bought mine from Newark Toyota. never had a problem with them until the frame issue. There excuse was they didn't have the facilities to put a new frame in. But the Tacco lasted till 2012. I was going to get another Taco when the 2012 Jeep Liberty's time to go. I didn't like the 4 banger...
I had the same model, it was a loaded TRD, only no sun roof and no turbo charged V-6. Toyo knew about the frame, took it to the dealer, never a call for repair from Toyota. Tight lines.
Your right , I'm old school. I had a 1987 Cherokee that lasted to 290k ,with hardly any problems . It was unibody. I wasn't with toyota then. I did have a 2004 Taco 4x4, it was a beast on the beach,loved it till the frame rotted and I got rear ended. I just like a full frame , 4x4 with the...
Sweetums is right. A front wheel drive AWD is not a real 4x4 . All they are really is a cross over. It's basicly a car sub unibody frame. A real 4x4 will have 2 high, 4 high and 4 low. I drive the beaches to surf fish, I see a lot of awd's stuck in the soft sand. He's right, the salesman will...
I retired in 2011 at 62. First two years I surf fished, fly fished and spent money like a drunken sailor. Then I applied and became a substitute teacher. After two years I was hired full time as a paraprofessional for special ed class to work with kids that have Downs and Autisim. I love the...
Thanks Mr Bill. I had to come home from the beach for the mail, I stopped at the dealership I bought the jeep from, there pretty good with service. When I drop it off, they will test the batteries, either fully charge both or replace both. Also check the poping noise in the front end I get , gee...
WOW!, Is it hard to charge both batteries, Would I have to take things apart to charge, or just hook the right charger up to the pos and neg post. I know I would need an agm charger. Unfortunatly I'm not mechanicly inclined with trucks and cars. Would the dealer test them and do something with...
I know this was covered before. Bought my 2023 Glad Freedom in march of 2024, buy the build date ,the dealer had it on the lot for about 1 to 2 months. When I drive the battery volt always reads 14.5 even if I go 3 miles or a 3 hour drive . If I start it during the drive for a break it reads...
when I was in the auto business, If you changed or modified something and had a problem with it , you owned it. Things could have changed, I don't know .I retired in 2011. But I don't think they did. You modify a stock car or truck and it goe's bad , it's on you. I never did chit to my trucks...
My JT is a rag top, I can't go to a car was. I do it myself, I try to make the time. My top gets treated evry 6 months, When I wash the truck body, I dry it and spray it with a good spray wax. I'm on the beach alot during the summer months, I need to do this.
I'd check with your mechanic on what coolant he put in. could be the thermostate is bad. I'm no mechanic, But I was told if you don't use the coolant that Chrysler recomends , you will have problems.
Hi, is it a stock windshield, I mean did you have anything like a protective coatong added to it ? Looks like it's delaminating in some area's. I'm sure some one will be along to help.
Hopefully the engine don't wind up like the new Taco 4 banger turbo's. There proven POS. Turbo's wear your engine out faster. My opinion only plus most mechanics , who needs 400 Hp on a Jeep. Also the new Toyo Thundra with the V6 turbo , another POS, there blowing up at a good rate. I'll stick...
My TPS monitors on my old Jeep liberty lasted 11 years before replaing them. They were the factory one's. Plus they went with inflated , deflated hundreds of times for beach driving for surf fishing. Replaced them with factory one's and then traded it for my Glad.
Not a Glad, But in the end my 2012 Liberty did this. Took to the dealer. It was either a damper modualer that helps open the damper doors to set what vents work. Or the damper box was bad. $400.00 to fix modualator, or $ 1400.00 to pull dash and new damper and modualers. I traded it in right...
