1 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 08/24/2018

1. Rust corrosion around the 3rd brake light cause brake light to fall out. It has to be held up by duct tape and is hilding up my inspection. 2. Check engine light is reading implausible fuel volume level. Fuel gauge drops after 10 minutes.

2 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 08/25/2011

This is my second complaint. Getting ready to return my 2006 Jeep Liberty (4x4) to a Jeep dealership for the 8th time. Engine hesitates, loses power and check engine light constantly comes and stays on. They have already done the following: replaced O2 sensors, plugs (three times), run numerous diagnostics, replaced left side values, replaced left side cylinder block, replaced right side cylinder block and also replaced the left side cylinder block they replaced the time before, replaced timing housing gasket, and who knows what else. Chrysler and mechanics can't solve the problem. All my research says this engine is faulty and needs to be recalled. I have found numerous complaints about this engine and vehicle. Something needs to be done. After thousands of dollars spent, nothing has been resolved. After over two months with 5 different Chrysler case managers, they only want to give me $350 for this problem. No consumer should have to go through this, especially when the taxpayers have bailed out this company.

3 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 08/25/2011

Engine light would flash for 5-10 seconds and engine would hesitate. After this occurred 2 or 3 times the engine light would stay on. Mechanic replaced O2 sensor per engine code. Problem continued. Went to Chrysler dealership. They replaced plugs and did diagnostic. Problem continued. Went back to dealership two more times and they now said that a nhtsb said Liberty was having value problems. They replaced left side values. Two days later same problem continued. Took back to dealership, they called Chrysler and were told to replace cylinder block. Replaced block. One day later, same problem. Vehicle back to dealerhip for the 6th time and no solution. Contacted Chrysler, have had 5 different case managers and no satisfaction, just the run around.

4 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 10/11/2010

The contact owns a 2006 Jeep Liberty. The contact stated that the vehicle was misfiring abnormally and was taken to the dealer for repairs. The dealer made repairs to the engine and released the vehicle to the contact. While driving 25 mph, the check engine light illuminated and the vehicle was taken back to the dealer. The dealer advised the contact that the engine was misfiring due to valve failures within the engine block. The vehicle was not further repaired as the authorized dealer planned on further examining the vehicle. The failure and current mileage was 45,000.

5 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 08/22/2010

I purchased a 2006 Jeep Liberty 3. 7 liter with 34,000 miles. My wife was driving the vehicle home from work when the Jeep began to stall and the vehicle speeds up on its own. The check engine light came on and is still on and I can know longer drive it because I am afraid of it stalling in an intersection or on the highway. I took it to the local shop and they said they did a compression test and that is had bad valve springs and valves and maybe needs new heads. I am not the only person with this issue many people have had this problem and Jeep has done nothing. This seems like a major design flaw and a major safety problem I hope it doesn't take someone getting hurt for a recall to be issued. Thanks.
