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!!

I bought the car used after I've been hit in the back from somebody and I no longer had my subaru or the money to buy another subaru so I was stuck buying this car in the meantime and the windows work but only for a little bit 6 hours after I bought the car the engine light turned on course it didn't have any transmission fluid so I put some in but one window dropped had to pull it out and now the driver door does completely will not roll up or rolled down and then I see that they have done some work to it because I didn't notice when I bought it that the door has power they have opened it another issue is that I washed my car when I call the person that bought it was a little small dealership I stated that I washed the car he stated to me to me "you washed the car?" I said yes I didn't ask any questions however the next day the front left headlight went out and it cost me $15 so not sure what else I can do it appears that there was a recall there is a recall on the fuel tanker what not they can catch fire I would like the recall to be repaired also I should have noticed that the car occasionally randomly feel like it's fishtailing while I'm driving I was struck by a vehicle on the freeway while I was walking after my jeep grand cherokee that I had prior to my subaru completely died on the middle of the freeway I began to walk to the call box when I was struck by a car so I have to have a safe car I am a single mother and grandmother thank you for your attention in this matter.

The speed o meter comes on and off several times and now it is completely blank. Took it to have it fixed at least three times, it worked for a fe miles then it went off again. The engine light comes on each time to indicate something is wrong. Now it has stopped working over six months costing me several hundred dollars.
