The check engine light flashes (critical error - cylinder misfire) and my car vibrates/shakes whenever I accelerate or go up any incline on a highway. I went to see a certified mechanic today (in michigan) and the mechanic said that the 3. 7l engine has a design flaw that allows a large amount of carbon buildup in the cylinders, which leads to misfire issues. It will cost over $2,000 to repair this issue (12 hours worth of work - they have to take apart the cylinders and whole ignition/intake system, clean the parts, and replace gaskets). The mechanic says that my car is no longer safe for highway driving and can break down at any time. This car only has 104,000 miles. Jeep should not get away with such a horrible design flaw that will cause my car to break down.

Check engine light came on and was told that the spark plugs were "fouled". Replaced all spark plugs and within one day, check engine light was back on. Returned to dealership and was told that the car needed a new engine gasket. Gasket was replaced. Within 10 months check engine light appeared again and I was told by the dealership that the car now needs a new engine cylinder. Car has approx. 85,000 miles and is used only for transportation to and from work - no "off-roading" or "towing".

Replaced head gasket, had to have car towed on 9/4/07. Took until 10/1/07 to get my car repaired. My mechanic called for parts and were told they were back ordered. Well, when I picked vehicle up on 10/2/07 I was told the parts were being snatched up due to demand on the Jeep Liberty (mine's an '04) having problems with some of the head gaskets. My car only had 43,000 when I purchased used/new 6/1/07. When I put in shop it had 49,575 miles. My mechanic stated that the gasket should have been good for at least 100,000 miles.
