Engine Noise Problems of Jeep Liberty

While sitting at a stop light, my Jeep just shut off with no warning. When I tried to restart it, it made a strange sound while it was turning over. I called a tow truck to take it to the dealership & was told that the engine valves were damaged & will require a new engine at $8100. 00.

The contact owns a 2011 Jeep Liberty. The contact stated that the engine started making noise while warming up after the starter was changed. An independent mechanic diagnosed that the engine did not leak, but consumed the oil and blew a rod. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The engine was replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 80,000.

Despite good maintenance records, engine seized while Jeep was in motion, resulting in total loss of engine power, steering and brake assist. There were zero warnings such a thing was about to happen. No engine light. No abnormal engine noise. Nothing. The engine just seized. Fortunately this did not happen while going at highway speeds. Dealer described engine failure as ¿one-in-a-million. ¿ valve fell into cylinder, causing a destructive chain reaction. Upon contacting Chrysler¿s customer relations and presenting my ¿one-in-a-million¿ type of failure (case id# 28648873), I requested support, but was told that Chrysler would not provide me with any kind of support and that the decision was final. Does anyone go out buying a used car expecting that the engine will ruin itself all the sudden, just because it¿s over 100k miles? (the mileage being one of the reasons why no support would be provided) the ¿autocheck¿ report listed only two owners before me. The previous owner had bought this as a ¿pre-owned certified¿ car, and after 6 years of ownership and proper maintenance let go of it. The autocheck report rated it 79 on a scale from 71 to 84, and I was in effect, just the third owner! the previous owner had to unfortunately surrender the car to the insurance company, given the expensive cosmetic repair cost of a rear end impact. I purchased the car at a public auto auction and got the rear end repaired. As weeks have gone by and I've been researching my options, I have come to learn that those 3. 7l powertech engines had some design flaws that have cost numerous Jeep Liberty owners anywhere from dropped valves, to fallen rocker arms, leading in cases like mine, to catastrophic engine failure. Had my engine failure taken place at highway speed, a potentially life-threatening outcome could have happened.

Had recently checked the oil, and everything was great. Just got back from a long trip with no problems. Then 3 weeks later with no warning, I was driving down the road at about 40 mph and the engine started making a bad sound. (which it had never done) no warning light on the dash, nothing. Pulled over checked the oil again and it registered a little low which was also unusual. Put a quart of oil in it and headed the 7 miles home, but by the time I got home the engine sounded horrible, I drove very careful and watched the gauges and for any warning lights including the check engine light or oil light to come on but nothing happened. It just sounds like crap. I had a mechanic friend come to my house to look at it and he said that it looks like it will be a new engine. What the heck, this seems to be a common problem. Why is Jeep or Chrysler doing nothing about it. The engine has extremely low miles, should be good for longer than this.

I have heard this is a very common problem with the 3. 7 Jeep motors. From what the mechanics have told me is the lifters pop loose in the head and the engine sounds like it has blown. The lifter rattles around in the cylinder head making all kinds of noise. My first one was in I think 2007 on passenger side and the lifter jumped. To replace the broken parts was over 600. 00 and my second one on the drivers side destroyed everything in the cylinder head. The vehicle is sitting right now because I dont have the money to fix it so I don't know if there was external damage done as well. This is a very very common problem on all of the Jeep blogs with the 3. 7 motor in my 2003 Jeep Liberty and should be recalled to fix the problem for free.
