well mine does, if yo try to reverse on hill incline it just barely moves and wiggles like if is about to stall, like with a lack of power but if you put it in 4wl ot does great.
i know the kjs had the same issue.

took my car to the dealer and tried another kk they had on the used section ad tried to back up over the grass and it was the same thing.

reverse gear sucks..??????

I noticed this too. On flat land it's not too bad, but hills suck. I honestly don't trust it lol

It's caused by the very high reverse gear ratio in your 42RLE.Compared to the '02(early '03) KJ's with the 45RFE which have a 3:1 reverse(and 1st gear) the 42RLE has a weak 2.21:1 reverse gear.

That's what I always figured. Wonder why they changed that? A little power could always help with that gear though.....

When I am stopped on an incline and let off of the brake my rig will roll back like a standard would. Does this happen to anyone else? It does not happen all the time but it still has me worried a bit.

Mine will roll back if I let it. The hill ascent control is what applies the brakes but only while in 4wd and only when the button is pushed. It's not automatic.

I think you mean the hill descent control. Carlos is talking about hill start assist that will apply the brakes when stopped on an incline to prevent rollback and so you don't have to hold the brake down while stopped

I have a KJ so that hill assist does not apply to me. I don't have any fancy buttons or anything... well that I know of lol. It really only happens when I am stopped on steep grade and it truly is annoying. Oh and I also suffer from the no power issue while backing up a hill.

Scout, mine rolls back too. Not sure how much as I never let it go more than an inch or so. Normally it only happens when the Jeep doesn't find the ground to be steep enough to engage the hill start assist, or I let off the brakes and let the hill start assist let go before hitting the gas.

if i press the brake pedal on hills over 15 degrees more or less it stops the car or me and have no need to use the pedal (need to be on D or reverse) actually on reverse the hill start is on even on flat surfaces that annoys me, most cars o revrse you just need to depress the brake pedal slowly for the car to star going on reverse. mine some times stops and have go give it up gas. found that if a quickly press and depress he brake pedal if releases the hill control assitant some times

You're right :oops:
I did look it up though and it doesn't hold the brakes for very long.
Standard on all Liberty models, Hill Start Assist (HSA) allows the driver time to transition from brake to throttle to achieve a smooth launch on a grade. The system will hold brake pressure for two seconds upon the driver’s release of the brake pedal. The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) system decreases wheel pressure in response to increasing throttle to provide a smooth launch
