Radiator problems of the 2010 Jeep Liberty

I brought a Jeep Liberty wanting to try something new . I have been experiencing hell with this vehicle. I have only had it about 2 weeks took it to the dealer no one knows what's wrong because no lights stay on . I've taken it to aamco thinking they could tell me . They saw no problem . When driving this car for more than a hour the throttle light comes on the check engine light esp and it starts to shake like it will turn off . The lights always leave so the next day I have no proof . I have always had trucks and suvs I will never buy another Jeep heating is also terrible . Changed heater core alternater radiator check transmission. Every now I'm drive this car blind not knowing what to expect because it has too many mystery's that shops don't know about this is the worst christmas gift I brought for myself.

2010 Jeep Liberty spontaneously caught on fire and exploded on Friday April 15, 2016. My stepdad and I were out and we stopped and picked up a pizza on the way home and everything was just fine the whole drive home, no smell, no driving issues, no smoke, no overheating dings, no funky sounds. We pulled into the driveway to park and turned off the car, my stepdad got out first, and when I opened my door I said ¿ooh it smells like fall!¿ (I thought the neighbors were having a bonfire or something. ) then I saw it and told him ¿the car is smoking!¿ and I got out of the car and got away from it. He tried to open the hood thinking it was a radiator or something but it was so hot it burned his fingers and then he lifted it a bit with a screwdriver as we went to get the fire extinguisher and we saw the fire start shooting out of the sides. It was so hot and so fast. I screamed at him to get him away from it because I knew it was going to explode, and as soon as he was a bit away from it, the hood did explode up and then it started really shooting flames out and and that¿s when I called 911. There were several more explosions while we waited on the firefighters. It was totally engulfed in flames in 5 minutes. There is nothing left but a shell, and it was one layer from burning our house down. If we were in it another 60 seconds, we¿d have taken that first explosion to the faces. We could have died and we almost lost our house, our barn and another car inside the barn. I¿m furious. Other people could die.

During production of most Jeep models using the jr engines, there was an issue in the cooling system causing blockage of the heater core, radiator, engine block, thermostat, and/or water pump. The issue is well known by Jeep owners from mainly 2010-2012 Jeeps, but Chrysler has refused to admit and fix the issue. The cause of the issue typically has been linked to either a) casting sand used in the production of the motor, or b) chemicals in the coolant developing a sand-like sludge. My experience has been two failed heater cores within 9 months of each other. The first incident occurred on 25dec2013 and was repaired 30dec2013 at 68,345 miles. On a trip away from home it failed again on 11sep2014 at 85,157 miles. On the most recent occurrence, when the heater core clogged and blew, the system blew hot steam into the cabin and coolant (around a temperature of 200*f) poured onto the passengers side floorboard. Luckily I did not have the heat vents turned to me or had a passenger at the time because I or my passenger would have likely been injured. The safety issued called into question due to the issue are a) burns resulting from failure of heater core, b) becoming stranded with no heat due to heater core or radiator failure, c) becoming stranded because of engine failure due to overheating caused by clogged cooling system.
