The check engine light flashes (critical error - cylinder misfire) and my car vibrates/shakes whenever I accelerate or go up any incline on a highway. I went to see a certified mechanic today (in michigan) and the mechanic said that the 3.7l engine has a design flaw that allows a large amount of carbon buildup in the cylinders, which leads to misfire issues. It will cost over $2,000 to repair this issue (12 hours worth of work - they have to take apart the cylinders and whole ignition/intake system, clean the parts, and replace gaskets). The mechanic says that my car is no longer safe for highway driving and can break down at any time. This car only has 104,000 miles. Jeep should not get away with such a horrible design flaw that will cause my car to break down.

When we drive to greatclip hair cut store from dollars store thru freeway, jeep didn't warning anything that willing to break down, I started smelled little oil burn and we parked jeep by greatclip to drop wife there and I turned engine to going and it's smell stronger burns . I checked it out that valve cover got cracked and little hole. I asked wife to start up and I saw a lot of oil come out of valve cover hole . We called tow to come pick up to avoid get engine seizures and I thought it's valve cover then I went to autozone to buy valve cover and gasket and went home to work on jeep. I removed valve cover and found a rocker broke the metal of engine head in passages side. I heard a lot of people who work at dealership shop and other shop said all 3.7 liter v6 isn't good engine for jeep because it's keep blew or problems. It's only 170,000 miles on engine. We just bought 2 months ago it's was good engine and run wonderful then it's broke down for no reason. I had older jeep has never problems with me until this one caused me problems.

Daughter pulled out of driveway turned left onto street and immediately heard a loud noise and observed the entire dashboard instrumentation panel light up. Wipers came on, doors locked, engine cut off, alarm went off, wiper fluid started spraying and smoke started pouring from under the hood. Fortunately she was able to unlock the doors and get out of the vehicle. Electrical wiring was still smoking 45 minutes after the power finally drained from the battery. Tow truck refused to move the vehicle until a mechanic came to disconnect the battery. Local shop said all the electrical circuitry was burned up or compromised, including the wiring harnesses, ground wires, fused box, tipm, etc. Took vehicle to dealership where it was pronounced unfixable. Insurance company will not cover since fire damage was confined to electrical circuits and jeep chrysler sent an investigator to inspect the damage and compensation was denied.

I brought a jeep liberty wanting to try something new . I have been experiencing hell with this vehicle. I have only had it about 2 weeks took it to the dealer no one knows what's wrong because no lights stay on . I've taken it to aamco thinking they could tell me . They saw no problem .
