Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) problems of the 2005 Jeep Liberty

2010 engine shut down with only 105,000 miles. I had replaced the egr valve covered under warranty when check engine light came on. Performed regular oil changes up until the engine failed. New replacement engine was installed in 2010. In septemeber 2014 engine failed again on the highway going 55 mph. Engine was diagnosed by crysler dealer as engine failure due to over heated rocker arm, cam shaft and lifters. Crysler is not offering any assistance this second time around. I am also out $1060 dollars payable to the dealer for thier diagnosis telling me something I already knew. Crysler customer service had told me to take it to the dealer before they would discuss any potential financial assistance. Now that the diagnosis is engine failure they are not willing to provide any aide. Information I have been gathering indicates this was not a good engine in either the 2005 or 2006 Libertys. I need some help pursiing help from crysler. Please advise.

The engine light has come on 4 times in the first 14 months of owning the car as a result of problems with the egr valve. This is typically prefaced by the car being sluggish when pulling from a parking spot.

2005 Jeep Liberty crv diesel check engine light stayed on. Dealer replaced egr valve twice (under warranty). Problem was not resolved until the third trip to the dealer. They replaced the block that the egr valve mounted to and this finally resolved the problem. I now have 28,000 miles on the vehicle and no problems. The dealer was very good and persistent in finding the problem.

Egr failure. Tourque converter failure - requred tow and 8 days in service. 4 tsbs.

: the contact stated the malfunction indicator light intermittently illuminated. The dealership replaced the egr valve five times. This has not remedied the problem. The mechanic at the dealership informed the contact that if this light illuminated, this was a good indicator that the vehicle could lose power. The contact stated that the mechanic told him that if he drove the vehicle of the lot it will break down on the road. Was given a rental car for three weeks.

2005 Jeep Liberty crd engine suddenly failed on a major road. Vehicle was pushed off road and taken to dealership where it was found the egr valve failed. Part was replaced 10 days later, and returned. Approx 2 weeks later the egr control valve went bad and 6 weeks later was replaced by dealership, when I went to pick up the vehicle it would not start.

Contact states the check engine light is illuminated and the vehicle hesitates and blows black smoke. After the vehicle has set in the sun it seems to be worse. In the past week the black smoke has become worse. The service dealer did input a new code into the computer, but this did not remedy the problem. The service dealer states it is an egr valve that needs to be replaced. The service dealer is aware of the problem, and is waiting for the part to come in. The consumer has contacted the manufacturer; they refer him to the dealership.

The contact complained about several problems. The first problem occurred when slowing down to 50 mph, the vehicle jerked. The second problem involved the egr valve which was replaced. The third problem concerned the check engine light illuminating. There was a popping noise in the rear end when reversing. The vehicle was inspected by the dealer, and an oil leak was discovered coming from the return line on the turbo. No repairs have been made. Updated 01/04/06.
