Ok so I have had this problem twice before since I bought my liberty a year ago.

I will start my liberty and everything appears normal until I start driving. The engine will be a lot louder and the RPM's kick up a lot. I mean I'll be driving 30 miles an hour and my rpm would be in the 4000-5000 range and I can't speed up past 45 miles and hour cause my RPMs go past the 6000 and the engine sounds a lot louder than usual. This happened twice before 3 months apart and I just pulled off the road and restarted my liberty and that usually did the trick. Today it happened to me three times and the final time when I restarted my liberty it would not go away. Finally after 6 restarts it went away.

I made an appointment with jeep for Tuesday but was wondering if anyone has encountered this problem or if there is any TSB for this problem out there so I can inform my dealer cause over the phone they told me they never heard of this happening. Also my Liberty is a 4x2 automatic. Any ideas would help.

it sounds to me like the transmission is not shifting out of first or second gear..

Thank you rickm and scar0 for your input. TSB Number:21-018-08. Dealer just reflashed my transmission and it seems to be running smoother. No slipping from P to R and from R to D. Only time well tell if it has fixed the problem I posted.
