2002 Jeep Liberty limited review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Broken valve spring at 62,000.
General comments?
My 2002 Jeep Liberty, has 62,000 miles. It has been serviced every 4000-5000 miles.
Few months ago I had the 60,000 miles maintenance done by the dealer. I was told everything is fine, Then last weekend, when I was driving on the freeway the engine light came on and started flashing, and the car stopped. I had it towed off the freeway offramp.
My mechanic informed me that I have a broken valve spring and no compression in cylinder number one, and maybe a damaged head or piston. It is still in the shop. He also told me that Jeep Liberty has this problem and it is not the first time he sees a Jeep with this problem, It is not normal for a car with a low mileage to have this problem.
If any other Jeep Liberty owners have had this problem please contact me.
Thanks.
