    My Great American Jeep Liberty has been with me for now 5 years...I just paid it off, and I don't really want a new vehicle since I'm enjoying the extra disposable income right now...

    It has been near flawless on maintenance ,...BUT today coming home from work I took a round about off the freeway...and the attack Jeep stalls to a stop!...In fact, It has been a few days on this trend of taking curved roads... It is starting to give me problems whenever this situation happens on a regular basis for the past few days...

    At first it was just a lull, hesitation, and the power would kick back on...At first I thought it was just bad gas, or I was in denial...Now I am going to have to take it in and pay for it...

    The symptoms:

    a. I hit the acceleration suddenly, vigorously (this really hasn't been a problem consistently

    b. I take streets that curve at more than 25-30 miles per hour..(this is now an alarming problem)

    c. optional related problem: The front passenger seat floorboard is getting wet as if I have a busted hose ....This happens when I turn on the A/C...

    Other than that the Jeep is awesome...I really plan on keeping it for 3 more years or so...

    Obviously I am going to get it fixed...Any idea though on what you think it may be , and is it going to cost more than an arm and leg or not...? I will find out my next day off...

    O yeah, ...Midas or to the Dealer, IYO....thanks.

    If the car is not under warranty I would not go to the dealer.
    Midas is OK or you can stop by other smaller shops for a quote.

    Thanks, I will probably pay an arm and leg but that is likely the best way to get the problem resolved...

    (ultimately the dealer would be the worst on getting an inflated bill, to clarify)

    I just find this funny that I never had problems, kept up with the oil changes and maintenance schedule...As soon as it gets paid for....This...
