1 Other Fuel Type Engine Turbo-charger problem

Failure Date: 05/27/2005

2005 Jeep Liberty crd will "sling shot" itself when starting from a stop with the a/c on. When you start to accelerate making a turn from being stopped the vehicle will start to move and you can feel, hear the engine gaining rpm but not movement then a sudden slingshot effect will take place. The selling dealer said it was normal for a diesel engine with a turbo to do this. Also stated it was in the electronics and there wasn't any thing they could do to repair it. I would have to wait for a factory bulletin to come out. This new vehicle pulls to the right constantly, I requested the alignment to be corrected during the same dealership visit as above. I was told my alignment was checked and there was no abnormal tire wear so it must be the crown of the road causing the pull or drift. This vehicle also surges when the cruise control is engaged and you start up an incline, it will continue to surge as long as the incline lasts. After picking the vehicle up at the dealership today I started home and all three of the faults occurred. I returned to the dealership and the shop foreman went with me , where the vehicle again acted up. He said there was not any thing they could do about the surging and the alignment and the sling shotting was turbo lag. I have not diven the vehicle on wet or snow covered pavement, however, with what does I not sure I want to.
