This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
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".
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.
While traveling on highway vehicle shutdown without prior warning. Brake rotors squeak. Also, air conditioner blows out hot air. Dealership is aware of problem.
