2002 Jeep Liberty: complete transmission failure

Filed Apr 25, 2011 · Engine · 210,815 miles · NC

I have a 2002 jeep liberty. I had a new transmission put in january 2011. The jeep has about 202000 miles. Now I am told that I need a new engine. I have always done the oil changes as noted. The jeep is not even worth the cost of a rebuilt engine. Now am reading that chrysler knows about this problem but are denying the engine sludge. I will be a pare of any class action suit against them. This is crazy.

On dec 8, 2008 I picked up my jeep liberty from my mechanic, he had replaced the transmission oil pan that rusted out and drained all the transmission oil out. On january 6, 2009 on my way to work early in the morning the transmission blew out totally, I was able to get back home and once again the mechanic has the liberty replacing the transmission. I feel the transmission oil pan rusting out and leaking caused the transmission blowout a month later. The check engine light did come on in december and I had an appointment to have the engine looked at when the whole pan blew out. The transmission totally dropping in january could have caused a major accident if I were driving later, and I feel this could cause major accidents on the roadways across the nation. I have complained via the webpage at jeep to no avail, this should be at least a recall on these vehicles.

Vehicles automatic transmission failed and had to be replaced, then replacement transmission had a leaky factory seal and again had to be fixed. Vehicle pulls to right as all other libertys do and now when the brake is applied, the right front marker light comes on. Dealership said it was uhauls fault uhaul says it is chryslers fault. Vehicle is a total dissappointment!!
