2002 Jeep Liberty limited from North America - Comments

Was on a 600 mile trip when my 2002 Jeep Liberty dropped a valve while driving on the interstate. The check engine light began to flash then it lost all power and died, stranding myself and family about 600 miles from home. At this time it's sitting at a Jeep dealership in South Carolina awaiting repair. Luckily I bought the extended warranty when I got the Jeep, the repair estimate is $1798.00 so far, and they haven't pulled the cylinder head yet to check for piston damage. The mileage was about 88,000 when this happened. This has been a travel nightmare.

I just got rid of my 2002 Liberty Jeep and will never buy another Chrysler product again. :o (

My Liberty had 89,000 miles on it. The engine light came on and I took it into a Jeep dealership. They said there was a misfire on cylinder #2. They replaced the coilpack and spark plug.

The engine light came on again... I decided not to go back to the same dealership... I took it to a couple more places to have it diagnosed. One place told me that there was a head problem (misfire on cylinder #2) and the repair would cost $1600...

Another place told me that they could repair the head for $1600 but did not promise that it would take care of the problem because... they found more than the misfire on cylinder #2 and the head problem. They found low compression on another cylinder and antifreeze leaking into cylinder #2. They said they could replace the engine... but recommended getting rid of the vehicle.
