The contact owns a 2006 Jeep Liberty. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 192,000.
While cruising a 50 MPH not on crews control the engine started racing with out pressure on the accelerator. When stopped in natural the engine went to 4000 RPM and surged +- 500 RPM.
My engine light it on
After fueling and starting the vehicle, it fails to accelerate for several minutes. Also when fueling it doesn't stop and will overflow onto the ground if you don't keep track of how much gas you are putting in. Another issue is that the vehicle shakes very badly when idle.
My 2006 jeep just stop working, came out of work and would not turn over,ECM box went bad on my jeep. This is a common problem per my mechanic the on board ( brain ) computer ecu, ECM and ec box must be recalled or else this issue is on the purchasers like us. Fords had the same problem back in 96. Your part for may 2006 jeep ECM can not be located anywhere in the united states, how is this possible????????
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. While driving approximately 30 MPH, the vehicle shut off without warning. The failure recurred several times. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000.
While driving about 55mph on 95 south (4 lanes of trafic), the front of jeep jerk, shuttering, loud noice, immediately lost power engine light came on. I pushed on emergency blinkers and strong armed jeep on an angle to the side of the road. Emergency assistance tow required. Dealer reporting catastrophic engine failure , now confirmed by second regionial consultant provided by chrysler earlier this week. Agreed to replace engine. Concern that if chrysler 3.7 engines have a historical problem a recall should be issued.
1. Rust corrosion around the 3rd brake light cause brake light to fall out. It has to be held up by duct tape and is hilding up my inspection. 2. Check engine light is reading implausible fuel volume level. Fuel gauge drops after 10 minutes.
6/9/2018 around 11:30 am engine - starts and stalls without warning. Was driving and slowed down to merge with traffic to enter the highway and engine shut down no warning. It started back up; however, the car behind me almost ran into the back of me - car behind me started blowing the horn continuously; although, flasher was turned on immediately. It occurred 3 more times within an hour - 2 times when attempting to park the vehicle and one time when on the highway and had to slow down as traffic came to a near halt. Very scary situation. About 5-6 months ago this occur about 5-6 times in heavy afternoon traffic due to an accident. Thought it was the gas; now I see it is occurring again. Has to be a bigger or more serious problem. Others are experiencing the same problem just look online. Can not afford to allow car to idle too long. Same vehicle where ABS, esp/bas, traction/anti-skid lights remain on even after installing a new clockspring and all four ABS sensors. Do not have any pictures to upload.
