Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) Problems of Jeep Liberty

My windows will not roll up and down. If I roll them down they will not come back up. My air conditioning went out and I had to drive , 45 minutes, home in 105 degree heat with no recourse . I could have passed out! there was a recall on the windows parts but I bought my Jeep used and the recall ended before I purchased it. If Chrysler diamler knows that there is an issue there should be no end date to the recall. Every vehicle should be repaired. What if I had a baby or child with me?.

I purchased a car from u. S. Auto sales in columbia, south carolina on June 12th 2015. The evening I took the car home the gas gauge was not at the empty mark and the car shut off and the check engine light came on. I took it back to the dealership and informed them of this and they proceeded to tell me that it is an ongoing Chrysler issue and to not let the gas tank to get below a quarter tank. They proceeded to reset the check engine light. 2 weeks later the check engine light came on again. So I took to a local auto store to have a diagnostics run and was informed that a wheel bearing was needed, a catalytic converter and a fuel line because at a certain level the gas will not reach the engine. Today in south carolina the temperature is well over 100 degrees and while I was driving my air conditioner stopped working. I have had more issues out of this car within the 30 days I have had it. I did purchase a warranty only to be told that I would have to bear some of the cost to fix a vehicle I just purchased. I am now waiting on a call from their mechanic once he gets the parts in to do the repairs. I believe I was knowingly sold a lemon. I was also told that if I had any issues with the car to bring it in and I will be given a loaner car. Well when I did bring it in I was basically told to get in line and wait because they had no loaner vehicles. Now I am basically stuck with a vehicle with no air and if the gas get past a half tank the car will shut off and if not repaired soon could potentially blow up with me and my children in it. Yes I have called the dealer to request another vehicle and was basically brushed off and told no.

Turned left out of the doctors office, drove approximately 50 yards and attempted to stop at the stop sign (making a right). The vehicle's engine, however, began accelerating and despite applying extreme pressure to the brake, continued to move forward while the engine accelerated faster. I ultimately ended up throwing it into park and then turning off the ignition to kill the accelerating engine. I have no idea what the rpm was, but it was loud! this also happened 2 weeks ago (first time - very cold morning) and I ended up throwing it into park and turning off the key like today. Todays temperature was around 40 degrees. Fyi - I was in the process of making a right hand turn when this happened and had slightly turned the wheel. After the first incident, I began doubting that this had even happened. In hindsight, despite several blogs on the internet, I am absolutely positive that I did not push down on both the accelerator and brake at the same time. After todays incident, I immediately called our local car dealership to schedule an appointment and then attempted to recreate what happened. Under various scenarios I bumped the steering wheel cruise control buttons (while stopped, while stopping, while accelerating) but could not cause the runaway acceleration to repeat itself. We have an appointment at our local dealership this Friday, or as soon as we can drop it off. Candidly, I'm scared to drive this vehicle at this point!.

2010 engine shut down with only 105,000 miles. I had replaced the egr valve covered under warranty when check engine light came on. Performed regular oil changes up until the engine failed. New replacement engine was installed in 2010. In septemeber 2014 engine failed again on the highway going 55 mph. Engine was diagnosed by crysler dealer as engine failure due to over heated rocker arm, cam shaft and lifters. Crysler is not offering any assistance this second time around. I am also out $1060 dollars payable to the dealer for thier diagnosis telling me something I already knew. Crysler customer service had told me to take it to the dealer before they would discuss any potential financial assistance. Now that the diagnosis is engine failure they are not willing to provide any aide. Information I have been gathering indicates this was not a good engine in either the 2005 or 2006 Libertys. I need some help pursiing help from crysler. Please advise.

The noil filter is in a bad place that causes oil to collect in all areas of the engine and skid plates that cause excess drips on my garage floor. Smoke on the hot engine parts and could cause a fire each time the oil filter is changed. I have to constantly remind the dealer to completely spray and degrease the under areas and sides of the engine each time or I have to return numerous times about oil leaks. It does not make sense to create oil problems because of the filter location. . . .

Sudden engine acceleration incident. My wife and I were leaving a parking lot. After backing out of my parking space I drove for about 1 minute to a stop sign. I put the manual transmission in neutral and waited for a car to exit the intersection and for some pedestrians to cross. Suddenly, without touching the accelerator, the engine began to race. I looked at the tachometer. The engine that normally idles at about 600 rpm was running at 2500 rpm. I sat at the stop sign for a few moments and decided the throttle must have stuck. With the stick shift in neutral I tapped the accelerator hoping to unstick the throttle. The engine roared to 3500 rpm and stayed there for 10-20 seconds. Then the rpms started to drop back down to normal idle. . Weather was clear and dry temperature 60 degrees, time 3 pm. It was scary. If the transmission was in gear when the engine took off, I would have taken off. I'm afraid to drive this car.

Driving my 2010 Jeep Liberty, stopped at a stop light and the car shuttered slightly and died. Brand new 7 month old car, battery is fine, started right back up, just stalled out for no apparent reason. Not on a incline, car was flat, automatic transmission, 68 degrees outside, not hot/overheating, no guage or warning lights came on before or after it died. No ac was in use. Onlything being used was vent and the cigarette lighter to power my son's dvd player in the back seat. No sterao was on either. Online research showed in Jeep forums that other owners have had this similar problem with their Jeeps stallign out for no apparent reason. Jeep has given them no explanation or offer to fix. Taking mine in on Monday am to dealer to inquire as to awhat could have possible caused this. Do not know if mine is part of the two recalls that Jeep has out now for the Liberty but will inquire about them as well, and ask if they could be the cause of mine stalling out for no reason.

My Jeep Liberty sport crd has 16000 miles on it, and since new it has had a shudder or stumble from 50 to 60 mph. It has had repairs to fix the problem, but it still remain to this day. This problem caused my vehicle to loose control in the winter conditions in my area. Which caused my vehicle to end up in the ditch. This could have been much worse if there was traffic at the time.

- the contact owns a 2005 Jeep Liberty. The engine light illuminated because the egr valve needed to be replaced. The egr valve has been replaced three times. The vehicle hesitated when the contact attempted to accelerate. When merging into traffic it became hazardous due to the erratic acceleration. The dealer unable to diagnose the failure. Updated 03/19/07.

The engine light has come on 4 times in the first 14 months of owning the car as a result of problems with the egr valve. This is typically prefaced by the car being sluggish when pulling from a parking spot.

2005 Jeep Liberty crv diesel check engine light stayed on. Dealer replaced egr valve twice (under warranty). Problem was not resolved until the third trip to the dealer. They replaced the block that the egr valve mounted to and this finally resolved the problem. I now have 28,000 miles on the vehicle and no problems. The dealer was very good and persistent in finding the problem.

Egr failure. Tourque converter failure - requred tow and 8 days in service. 4 tsbs.

: the contact stated the malfunction indicator light intermittently illuminated. The dealership replaced the egr valve five times. This has not remedied the problem. The mechanic at the dealership informed the contact that if this light illuminated, this was a good indicator that the vehicle could lose power. The contact stated that the mechanic told him that if he drove the vehicle of the lot it will break down on the road. Was given a rental car for three weeks.

2005 Jeep Liberty crd engine suddenly failed on a major road. Vehicle was pushed off road and taken to dealership where it was found the egr valve failed. Part was replaced 10 days later, and returned. Approx 2 weeks later the egr control valve went bad and 6 weeks later was replaced by dealership, when I went to pick up the vehicle it would not start. I was told the egr valve had gone bad again and needed to be replaced.

Contact states the check engine light is illuminated and the vehicle hesitates and blows black smoke. After the vehicle has set in the sun it seems to be worse. In the past week the black smoke has become worse. The service dealer did input a new code into the computer, but this did not remedy the problem. The service dealer states it is an egr valve that needs to be replaced. The service dealer is aware of the problem, and is waiting for the part to come in. The consumer has contacted the manufacturer; they refer him to the dealership.

The contact complained about several problems. The first problem occurred when slowing down to 50 mph, the vehicle jerked. The second problem involved the egr valve which was replaced. The third problem concerned the check engine light illuminating. There was a popping noise in the rear end when reversing. The vehicle was inspected by the dealer, and an oil leak was discovered coming from the return line on the turbo. No repairs have been made. Updated 01/04/06.

The first incident happened back when I first got my Jeep right before the warranty was about to expire. It was running fine and had no indication that anything was wrong. It was around the 35,000 mile mark. I was driving to work and my Jeep just stalled on me. I pulled off to the side of the road, tried to start it again, and nothing. So I called the dealership who told me to call the 800# for the tow truck (which took 2 hours at 20 degrees. . . . No heat. . . Not good). I found out that was actually a piston and a rocker-arm along with many other little parts that needed to be fixed in the engine. . . . . . . So major engine repair. The Jeep was in the shop for a couple of weeks. After it was fixed all was well. . . . . Until the breakdown from the recall. . . . That is my next complaint. . . . Stay tuned!!! :).
