Rough idle on BRAND NEW Jeep Liberty, dealer wont do anything.
Since the very first moment I sat on the vehicle I noticed the idle
was rough. But I was way too tired with the whole dealership buying
process (4 hours) that I left without paying too much attention. After
two days of driving it around I can definitely say that the idle is
rough. It is not too bad, but still, it is a brand new jeep and what
characterize new vehicles is that you won't even notice the engine
running. When you wait on a red signal you can feel the engine
vibrating. Dealer says it will go away, but it has not, and I don't
think it will. As a matter of fact, it has worsened. Are these V6, 3.7
engines rough?
Thanks!

Re: Rough idle on BRAND NEW Jeep Liberty, dealer wont do anything.
The 3.7's used in the Libertys do have a reputation for idling a "bit on the
rough side". Problem is that a "bit rough" is very suggestive. Have you
tried asking one of the service advisors to go out with you in a demo, then
with yours, and compare the two?

Re: Rough idle on BRAND NEW Jeep Liberty, dealer wont do anything.
Bill, that really is quite an over reaction at this stage.
The previous poster's suggestion about going for a ride in one of the
dealer's demos to see if it has the same rough idle would be my suggestion
also. Keep the service department documentation for each time you bring it
to the dealer, and wait a few thousand miles and see what happens.
