2009 Jeep Liberty Engine Problems

“I have had light sensors on my dash, electronic stability, slippery road. Service 4wd, and misfire #2 cylinder, and service ABS. I took it in for diagnostics they say the head gasket is blown, or it has a cracked head allowing antifreeze in the #2 cylinder. The lights come on a couple at a time, when driving, and then go ff either when I turn the car off, or a day or two later.”

“While driving 55 MPH down a busy road, my Liberty's engine shut down without warning. No warning lights lit up on the dash, oil was full, and it was running great just before the failure.

Everything quit, the engine, the electric, the starter would not turn over when I tried to start it again or the emergency flashers. Just before this happened the engine light and, what I found out later, the electronic throttle control light came on. …”

“Car turns off without warning while in motion. No check engine light to show a problem... Car has turned off on highway and while making turns. Have to place vehicle in park and start car again to work. Lights and radio all stay on.”

“Engine suddenly started running extremely rough, and making loud noises. Immediately pulled over and turned engine off. Waited a few minutes and attempted to restart engine, but again it made loud noise and wouldn't turn over. Had it towed to our mechanic. He told us rocker arm jammed, lifter and camshaft toasted, and head blew, and more than one cylinder is involved. …”
