i just bought a 2003 jeep libert less than 3 months ago...love it except now it seems to downshift hard at about 30 mph.....anyone else had that problem? it has 46,000 miles on it :roll:

Have you had the oil changed anytime lately? Sometimes when the oil is changed they will shift hard. May need to unplug the battery and reset the computer or take it to the dealer and get the tranny reprogramed.

If youve not changed the oil, Id say it needs it.

So the jeep jumps(forward) or feels like it goes over a bump(goes up).

This happened after my tranny service.....give it some time and some daily driving and it should smooth back out in 7-10 days....at least ours did.

I had the tranny in my 03 serviced and it did that when I got it back. I had the tech drive with me to verify it, then they reprogrammed it. It's been fine since.
