Engine Exhaust System Problems of Jeep Liberty

Driving through a school zone one morning and the car suddenly lost power steering and shut off, would not start again. Towed it back to house and read check engine code about crankshaft position sensor. It melted in place because of where it is in relation to the exhaust, took 4-5 months to fully dig out the melted sensor and replace. Had to put a heat shield over it myself and has since lasted 2+ years without trouble. Very poor design and a hassle to fix.

I have a 2002 Jeep Liberty. I had a new transmission put in January 2011. The Jeep has about 202000 miles. Now I am told that I need a new engine. I have always done the oil changes as noted. The Jeep is not even worth the cost of a rebuilt engine. Now am reading that Chrysler knows about this problem but are denying the engine sludge. I will be a pare of any class action suit against them. This is crazy.

I am experiencing a rattling sound when driving uphill or downhill through driveway, traveling 5-20 miles an hour. I took my Jeep 2002 Liberty 2wd to get serviced and received recommended repairs: prosteer control arm with ball joint upper center, remove and install propeller shaft to replace universal joints on both ends, rear wheel bearings, tail pipe is welded to muffler, muffler does not meet design specifications and should be replaced due to exhaust leak as well, remove rack and pinion, complete rack as does not meet design specifications and is leaking. I was driving about 25 mph and my rear right side tire was smoking profusely. I pulled over and noticed the gray smoke from my tire. I took the car to check the rear breaks. They were fine but was told that I had a leak from the exhaust pipe which dripped on to that area. The car has 75,806 miles. I was told that I could loose control of vehicle and entire area can collapse during traffic due to these issues. Aside from these issues, I am experiencing a whistling sound, problems with rear drivers side passenger power window regulator which produces grind-like sound. The window came off and I was told that I needed a new regulator for the window. I'm also experiencing a red stain in engine oil drippage on ground. Finally, strange odor from car -odor continues to be present whether I wash the carpets and seats (smells like mold/mildew or skunk).

2010 Jeep Liberty with less than 9000 miles started leaking oil from some where under engine when running, hot oil leaks into the exhaust system with potential to start a fire due to hot oil and hot exhaust system. Dealer claims not to know anything about any problems with new engine. Please help me car is still under warranty but dealer doesn't know what is the problem.

We own a 2002 Jeep Liberty. A coup[le of weeks ago while traveling the little piece of tail pipe fell of the end of the exhaust pipe. We didn't realize this had happen until we started smelling very strong fumes of plastic melting. We got out and checked and found the piece had fallen of and the heat from the exhaust had melted a hole through the rear bumper. We had to drive the rest of the way with all of the windows down so we didn't get over come by the fumes. The worst part of it all is the pipe is right beside the gas tank. We were worried the whole time the heat would ignite the gas. We have had this Jeep Liberty less than a year and we have bumper to bumper warranty on it. The dealership refuses to do anything about it. We want to know if this car has been recalled for this problem. It is a real safety hazard.

I was driving to work and my car started smoking under the hood and the exhaust was coming into the cabin. When I looked under the car, oil was pouring out of it. I took it to the shop and they had to replace both valve cover gaskets. Two weeks later my oil light came on and now my head gasket is leaking. This car is a 2004 and has 56,000 miles on it. The repairman said that he has never seen the valve cover gaskets go bad under 100,000 miles.

I have a 2006 Jeep Liberty crd. The egr failed at 17k miles. It was replaced under warranty. It failed again at 52k miles, I paid for that replacement. Now the engine is plugged with carbon from the egr system. Each time there is a failure of the egr, it will eventually cause the engine to suddenly "loose power" and run as if in a "limp" mode even thought the obd diagnostics fail to acknowledge such. This is a big problem with this vehicle that Chrysler will not acknowledge. It causes air pollution and a safety issue as the ability to operate the vehicle normally is greatly hindered without warning. Consumer is asked to pay $2,300. 00 for a temporary repair for the factory's poor design.

The contact owns a 2006 Jeep Liberty. The contact stated that the "epm" warning indicator light illuminated. The vehicle has not been inspected by a dealer. The current and failure mileages were 5,000.

I purchased a used 2002 Liberty with only 45,000 miles on it, 9 days later it had to be towed back to the dealership where they then had it for 2 weeks replacing the head because the exhaust rocker spit out of place. They also replaced the tensioner, tappets, camshaft and a few minor parts along with those. I had the vehicle back about a week and a half and it was towed to the dealer again for the same problem. I have now been told that they will probably replace the whole engine.

Rocker arm came off #4 exhaust valve . . . . Dealership found defective valve. . . Car has continued to have major engine issues.

I have had numerous problems with this Jeep. Always detected a rotten egg smell dealer claimed it was the gas. After 1 year of ownership driving it in pennsylvania I could not go up hill without losing ground and smelling something burning. Dealer unable diagnose. Then in 05 starting having brake grinding and squealing, dealer also claims this is normal operation. I have had to replace the water pump and the catalytic converter and only have 34,000 miles on the car. Also had a problem with smoke coming from the rear drivers side tire and burning smell on two occasions, also dealer is unable to duplicate. I believe the 2003 liberties have a problem and no one is willing to check into it. Chrysler does absolutely nothing to help.
