2 weeks ago we had an engine light come on and took it to a dealership to have it serviced. It came back after putting it on the analyzer that cylinder 6 had misfired so they just reset the light and said if it came back on to come in and they would replace the sparkplug. 2 weeks later the light came back on and the upper and lower seal blew. I was told by the service dept. That it would be 6 to 8 weeks to get the part and that we are number 60 on the list for the same parts. Is there a recall problem that we don't know about?

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!!! :)

2002 Jeep Liberty engine problems due to sludge. Consumer states that the engine light illuminated due to the engine having sludge in it from infrequent oil changes and/or weak gasoline. Dealer stated the engine needed to be replaced but decided not to replace it, because of the circumstances which caused the engine to be in need of replacement. The dealer replaced the cylinder heads and evaporation hose. The engine overheated, however the dealer stated everything checked out ok and was probably hard air.

At the end of the 2001 I bought a 2002 Jeep Liberty sport with service contract. Minor problem have occurred in the first year. In the 16th month of ownership the vehicle engine failed while I was making a trip to las vegas, Nevada. My family and I almost got into an accident because while the car was in motion it suddenly stopped in the middle of the road. I called Chrysler and had it towed to tobin Jeep in las vegas, Nevada. The dealer indicated that the engine had failed and they need to replace the bottom half of the engine. Chrysler promised that the new engine would arrive by May 5, 2003 since the vehicle was towed on April 30, 2003. I decided to buy a max care because I planned on keeping this car for a long time. Tobin the dealership did loan me a car while I was driving it in Nevada. I was not allowed to drive it back to California where my job and my residence are. It was extremely inconvenient for me because have to take the greyhound bus back to California or loose my job. Chrysler has given me $30 a day for maximum of five days charged to my credit card and Chrysler promised to reimburse. I now use public transportation. I"ve been late for work the last 3 weeks and I"M starting to have trouble with my boss. On May 28,2003 at 9:00 pm I called tobin Jeep the dealer indicated that the vehicle in done and it just needed to be test driven. The next day the May 29,2003 I was getting ready to take greyhound bus after work at 11:00 P.M. back to Nevada to pick up my Jeep Liberty. I called to confirm to make sure the car is fixed. Tobin Jeep indicated that the engine had failed again for the 2nd time. Before the engine block was the problem and now the engine valve head is the problem. I called again on June 10, 2003. Tobin the dealer indicates that the valve spring needs to be replaced and the engine failed for the 3rd time. The vehicle is now 40 days and counting in the shop at tobin Jeep in las vegas Nevada.
