1 Camshaft Position Sensor problem of the 2012 Jeep Liberty

Failure Date: 12/22/2016

I have had many problems with this vehicle. Apx 50k miles the water pump blew. Had it replaced - then apx 75k miles I experienced jump starts - took it to the dealer who was only doing oil changes that day. Took it to aaa repair center - they did a pressure test - found nothing wrong. Experienced the jump again - took it to a firestone mechanic who did a pressure test and "found nothing wrong". The Jeep would not start on thanksgiving - had it towed to the aaa center where I explained what had happed. They discovered that the head had blown and was now warped & camshaft broken at considerable cost, they fixed it, but now I have a p0340 code (camshaft sensor). I let the vehicle sit overnight. It seemed to start fine. After 40 miles of highway driving the oil light came on briefly, before shutting off.

2 Camshaft Position Sensor problem of the 2003 Jeep Liberty

Failure Date: 11/22/2010

After buying the car as Jeep Liberty renegade 2003 used at about 40,000 miles. The second time I drove the car on the interstate the car started stalling and running very rough. I limped in for about 15 miles to the repair shop and problem was diagnosed as a faulty crank sensor. That was replaced and car ran fine for 4 years. Now with 66000 miles the car stall while driving at low speed. Restarted and took car in and problem was diagnosed as a faulty crank sensor again, but part had to be ordered and car was running fine. So I decided to drive car while waiting for the part and next day the car would not start. When tow truck arrived car stated fine but had car towed to repair shop. The sensor was replaced but the shop still was having periodic stalling problem. It was finally diagnosed as a faulty cam shaft sensor which was replaced and now the car is running fine. Looks like Jeep has a problem with the sensors in the Jeep renegade model.
