2011 Jeep Liberty: won't start

Filed Oct 16, 2018 · Engine · 142,000 miles · OH

My husband had driven to a doctors appointment. When he got in the jeep to leave it wouldn't start. We had it towed to our mechanic. After he inspected the vehicle he said a piston ring had come off the #1 cylinder and fallen below the piston causing the cylinder to be damaged. It will require a new motor which will cost $4000-$5000 if we can find a decent engine. Apparently these engines can be difficult to find and are more expensive because this is a common problem.

Jeep will not start after it runs for a while. If it sits for 15 minutes, it won't start. It cranks over but does not start. If I wait another 15 minutes or so, then it will start. Also having problems filling gas tank. It will spill gas out at you or keep shutting gas nozzle off when filling at gas station. This isn't a one time problem. It happens all the time. Gas station attendant gets very frustrated trying to fill tank.

The jeep will randomly stall when I try to accelerate, especially in situations where I need to accelerate quickly, e.g. At an intersection or when merging onto the interstate. I will press the gas, and the jeep will not accelerate. I will push down more on the gas, and the jeep does not respond. It has nearly caused an accident every time. Also, the jeep will randomly not start. I will turn the key, there is one click, all the lights on the dash come on as usual, but the vehicle will not fire up. I can turn the key repeatedly, but the vehicle will not start. I have to let the jeep sit for about 20 minutes before it will start up again. No codes are sent to the computer signaling an error or malfunction. No lights come on in the dash, either. My jeep is randomly not functioning when being started or when accelerating and yet, the jeep is not sending any codes or displaying any lights to indicate any problems. The tipm (totally integrated power module) is completely faulty and is going to cause serious harm to my family and others!

P0300 cylinder misfire code appeared when my vehicle wouldn't start and now I need to replace my left side engine head and it's costing me around $2000.00 for parts and labor. My vehicle has a little over 60,000.00 miles and is out of warranty and not covered and I contacted chrysler and they will not do anything about this. They are well aware of this faulty engine and there needs to be a recall or chrysler needs to pay for my repairs. I have a 3.47 liter engine with only 60,000.00 miles and it needs to be replaced on the left side. Chrysler had this same issue with the 3.6 liter engine and extended the warranty and the same or recall should be done with the 3.7 liter engine.

I was leaving work about a month ago and I was going about 45mph. All of a sudden my car sounded like it was in neutral when it was in drive. I had to switch to the number 2 on my column just to get it to drive. Then, my air bag light, ABS light, hazard lights, engine light, battery light, and probably multiple others came on. My speedometer went crazy and said I was driving at 0 MPH. My car starting shaking like it was going to shut off in the middle of the road. Luckily, I was able to get it into a parking lot where it shut off and completely died. It sounded like a clicking but would not start when turning the key. I am very lucky that I did not get stuck in the road when it started to die and get t-boned. This should be addressed before it causes someone to crash.

Driving my 2011 jeep liberty with 54,000 miles at 8am saturday june 10 2017 at 50mph on a rural road. Without warning, the dashboard lights up, tachometer goes crazy, and the car died. The battery is 8 months old, there's no power at all to the cabin. It's not a fuel pump issue, the car is died at 50mph. Fortunately, I was able to pull off onto the shoulder. All indications is that it's the tipm totally integrated power module. Which dodge knows is an issue and you all have denied as an issue. I had to have the car towed to a local shop, there was no starting it. It was actually drug up onto the flatbed because the transmission was locked in park. Turning the key did nothing to free the shift lever. Car complaints.com speaks loudly and clearly to the tipm. When I opened the hood, there is a relay clicking away, I removed and replaced that relay, no change to the dead liberty.

After filling my gas tank and grocery shopping, I came out to my car and it wouldn't start, I then had it towed to my local jeep dealership, they diagnosed it as a faulty tipm sensor, after researching online, turns out I am one of hundreds of thousands dealing with the same issue, chrysler should have to be held responsible for knowingly continuing to install faulty sensors and then not assisting with repairs. Outrageous!!! What is the point of investing in an american brand when they are not held accountable?? Losing all my faith...

Today and six days ago I parked my jeep, turned off the ignition and removed my key. I went to start my car about one hour later and there were no display lights on my dashboard. The vehicle would not start and the shift lever could not be moved. I thought I might have a dead battery. A friend stopped by my car. He tried to start the car with my key. No electrical power or lights were present. He opened the hood and said everything looked fine. He closed the hood hard. He put the key in the ignition and moved it around. The display lights came on and the car started. I had the battery checked and it was fine. I put a new battery in the car less than one year ago. The same thing happened today while I was at the post office. Is this an electrical problem or a bad ignition? A neighbor said he heard something about an ignition problem with chrysler.
