general problems of the 2011 Jeep Liberty

My husband had driven to a doctors appointment. When he got in the Jeep to leave it wouldn't start. We had it towed to our mechanic. After he inspected the vehicle he said a piston ring had come off the #1 cylinder and fallen below the piston causing the cylinder to be damaged. It will require a new motor which will cost $4000-$5000 if we can find a decent engine. Apparently these engines can be difficult to find and are more expensive because this is a common problem.

Tl the contact owns a 2011 Jeep Liberty. The contact stated that the engine seized without warning and the vehicle was unable to be driven. Quirk Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram (830 plain st, marshfield, MA 02050, (781) 319-3000) diagnosed that the engine assembly needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and indicated that there was no recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 97,000.

While driving my 2011 Jeep Liberty with the cruise control set at 70mph on I-65 interstate coming out of gary indiana the tell-tales lit up and the car dropped out of cruise control and it took the car a few seconds to gain power again. This all started with the drivers door not unlocking with the remote. A diagnostics was run on the car and they said they couldn't find anything wrong, other than a rear sensor on the brake making the brake light come on. Doing an internet research the tipm sensor is the cause of most of these problems which Chrysler doesn't want to admit. This same issue was deemed not an issue a few years back by the NHTSA with the Liberty but deemed no good by the NHTSA for the Jeep cherokee and Dodge durango. This was a dangerous situation for me and my family. If I hadn't took action as quick as I did we would have been rear ended by a semi. I don't feel safe driving this SUV and this is my wife's car which she takes my son to school in. The NHTSA needs to do something about this issue now.

P0300 cylinder misfire code appeared when my vehicle wouldn't start and now I need to replace my left side engine head and it's costing me around $2000. 00 for parts and labor. My vehicle has a little over 60,000. 00 miles and is out of warranty and not covered and I contacted Chrysler and they will not do anything about this. They are well aware of this faulty engine and there needs to be a recall or Chrysler needs to pay for my repairs. I have a 3. 47 liter engine with only 60,000. 00 miles and it needs to be replaced on the left side. Chrysler had this same issue with the 3. 6 liter engine and extended the warranty and the same or recall should be done with the 3. 7 liter engine.

The engine was maintained with periodic synthetic oil & filter changes. The engine ran flawlessly. The plugs and wires were premium. The engine began to vibrate when the key was turned. This occurred after shopping on the way home. There was no loss of power or other anomaly prior to this catastrophic failure. The shop I brought it to tested the computer and fuel pump all ok. There are numerous complaints and engine re-manufacturers are posting comments that the engine design is flawed.

The contact owns a 2011 Jeep Liberty 4x4. The contact stated that the engine warning indicator illuminated continuously. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for diagnosis. The technician was unable to diagnose the problem. The manufacturer was not notified of the defect. The failure mileage and VIN were unavailable. Kmj.

This has happened multiple times since I bought the car. I have taken to dealer multiple time advised computer says ok and they cant find a problem. First, time happened as pulling out into traffic crossing 6 lanes and engine power died. . Foot still on accelerator and engine and power on but rpm drop to 0 and car wont move. . Large 18 wheel semi slammed on brakes as I sat helpless in the middle of lanes unable to move and came to a stop 2 inches from my door. After reapplying foot to accelerator car moved and I drove straight to dealer advised everything fine and nothing they could do. . . . . Incidents sometimes only happen once every 3-6 weeks. After a few more incidents of same problem took to dealer advised same unable to find problem. . Last time they said they changed a few computer chips. . . For about 6 weeks thought and prayed problem fixed. . . However, this past week on way to work sitting at idle in double turn lane in one of busiest/largest intersections the arrow light turned green I started to accelerate and rpm dropped and car wouldn't move. . I pushed foot all the way to ground multiple times and car would not respond. However, power and engine on. This time I was desperate as cars were honking at me and racing around me almost hitting me. I even tried to put car in park and hit accelerator and no rpm engine response. . . Trying not to panic, I decided to risk shutting car off. I turned key and shut off engine and turned key and restarted engine put in drive and car went back to normal. . With work I cannot afford to keep sitting at a dealer with a car only 1 year old. Try dealer again. 1 other episode when someone in car with me as I accelerated car sputtered and clunked and I had to release and apply to accelerator and then went to normal. . I am only blessed with an angel that this car has not yet killed me or someone else.

No matter what speed (40-75mph), when vehicle is in 4th gear, the power train shutters. Dealer acknowledges something is wrong but doesn't know what to change. . . They are now talking to me like its road noise. . . Which is completely wrong. If driving it and it is shutters you can shift into neutral and it goes away. . . . Its a definite problem with the transmission/drive train.
