| My 2005 jeep liberty has had numerous engine problems since i purchased it. three times when the check engine light was on and i was under warranty, the mechanic at the jeep dealership turned the light off and said that was just something jeep's do. now that my warranty has expired, i need an entire new engine. the mechanic saying that oil is not flowing through the lines in the engine. i recently replaced the water pump and the mechanic mentioned it was much too soon for that. without looking at service records or speaking with the dealership where i bought the car or had the car serviced under warranty, they rejected my appeal for assistance for parts and/or labor with the repair. i guess that is the new chrysler. i have now transportation. commute f hours per day on public transportation in la and am paying $45.00 per day storage fee at the garage until i can afford the repairs. *tr | |||

| 2005 jeep liberty crd will sling shot itself when starting from a stop with the a/c on. when you start to accelerate making a turn from being stopped the vehicle will start to move and you can feel, hear the engine gaining rpm but not movement then a sudden slingshot effect will take place. the selling dealer said it was normal for a diesel engine with a turbo to do this. also stated it was in the electronics and there wasn't any thing they could do to repair it. i would have to wait for a factory bulletin to come out. this new vehicle pulls to the right constantly, i requested the alignment to be corrected during the same dealership visit as above. i was told my alignment was checked and there was no abnormal tire wear so it must be the crown of the road causing the pull or drift. this vehicle also surges when the cruise control is engaged and you start up an incline, it will continue to surge as long as the incline lasts. after picking the vehicle up at the dealership today i started home and all three of the faults occurred. i returned to the dealership and the shop foreman went with me , where the vehicle again acted up. he said there was not any thing they could do about the surging and the alignment and the sling shotting was turbo lag. i have not diven the vehicle on wet or snow covered pavement, however, with what does i not sure i want to. | |||

| My 2005 jeep liberty crd has a transmission shudder and looses power between 55 and 60 mph. this appears to be a common problem with crd owners and jeep has issued several tsb's that consist of computer reflashes that have not corrected the problem. i am to the point where i do not transport my children in this vehicle because it looses power at 55 mph on highway merges and cruising. i am very concerned with the safety, because other crd owners have experienced transmission failure following the shudder symptom. jeep only made 11,000 crd's (discontinued in 2006, however still part of their marketing campaign!) and the owners are having a difficult time getting them to respond to several safety problems. the erg valve is another issue. mine has been replaced once, other crd owners have had multiple replacements. my jeep crd totally lost power when the egr valve failed. it was on an interstate traveling 65 mph. luckily i had a clear path to coast to the shoulder. *jb | |||
