The contact owns a 2004 Jeep Liberty. The contact stated that the vehicle intermittently lost motive power with the check engine warning light illuminated.

The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 145,000.
This car has an electrical issue that no-one can figure it out. It keeps giving us all these error codes: p0430, p2305, p2311, p2317 and p0430. We had replaced all the sparkplugs, the electric coils, battery, starter, the computer (PCM), ignition switch, the 02 sensor and still the car will not stay on and shakes while is running.
About a month ago I was coming up the mountain and it was hard to stere and it made me hit a gard rail on the other side of the road and then about a week ago I was going to town and I stopped at the store to get gas and turn it off and it would not start back so I don't no what is wrong
While driving would run rough, stall out while stopped, stepping on gas bogs down the engine making the vehicle not move on highway, street driving, turning left or right. Replaced all fuel injectors fuel pump, charcoal canister, plugs and coils, still a problem took to garage stated a recall on cylinder heads.
Front suspension went out lost all control of vehicle
Oil pump went out and oil light is on and starting to make noises in the top end.
Jeep was shut off and in park in parking lot when flames were seen coming out from under the hood. By the time the fire dept. Arrived, the fire had started to breach the firewall in the front of the jeep.
Check engine light is on. Running rough not idling correctly. There is no power on acceleration, vibrates and smokes. I took it to tires plus 1st time, cost me $800 for diagnosis, compression tests and repairs they say needed to be done to fix the problem. About a month later check engine light came back on. Took jeep back and was told this time that the value(s) are not seating. Told to take it to the chrysler dealer due to a safety issue. I researched on websites and found this is a common issue for 2004 - 2011 jeep liberty as well as dodges. Why have they not issued a safety recall on this? The rocker arms are popping out and causing havoc in the engine. Dealer says no recall. Chrysler you know you have a problem why not fix it!! This is a very serious safety issue!!
Check engine light is on, rough idle, no power on acceleration, vibrates, burns gas, smokes.. Had a compression test done and at the 3rd cylinder has a compression of 65.. Did some research on this after wasting hundreds of dollars and it needs new valves and rocker arm. Upon doing research I found put that jeeps from the year 2001 on up to 2012 are known for this problem! Why has this not been recalled? This is a serious safety issue not to mention very costly!!
