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.

THERE IS AN ACTIVE RECALL ON SOME 2006 JEEP LIBERTY'S, HOWEVER MINE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BUT IS HAVING THE ISSUES OF THE RECALL. I NEED MY VEHICLE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL SINCE IT IS A PROBLEM MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE FRONT BALL JOINTS (CONTROL ARMS) ARE OUT AND THAT IS WHAT THE RECALL IS FOR. THERE WAS ALSO A RECALL FOR THE REAR CONTROL ARMS AND WE HAD THAT RECALL CORRECTED. PLEASE ADD MY CAR TO THE RECALL LIST SO THSI CAN BE CORRECTED.

THIS CARS TIPM SYSTEM IS EXTREMELY FAULTY I'VE HAD IT FIXED 3 ALREADY AND IT STILL ACTS AS OF IT IS POSSESSED. THIS HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY WHERE THE CAR STARTED GOING OFF BY IT'S SELF STALLED AND COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I ALMOST DIED. THERE HAS BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VEHICLES TIPM SYSTEM BUT JEEP REFUSES TO RECALL THEM. ALSO THE AIRBAGS DO NOT DEPLOY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FRONT WINDOW REGULATOR ISSUES. TODAY THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW FELL WHILE STATIONARY. A FEW MONTHS AGO, THE PASSENGER SIDE BROKE WHILE DRIVING. THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW IS SOUNDING LIKE IT MAY GO AT ANY MOMENT. I TOOK APART THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEN THAT WINDOW FELL THINKING IT JUST FELL OFF TRACK. I DISCOVERED A PIECE OF THE REGULATOR IS BROKEN. IN DOING RESEARCH I SEE THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE! THIS POSES A SAFETY HAZZARD!! THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN 2013 REGARDING THIS ISSUE.

SERVICE BRAKES
YESTERDAY MY ABS AND ESB LIGHTS CAME ON. I DID NOTICE A BIT OF GRINDING TYPE NOISE APPROXIMATELY TWICE IN A FULL DAY OF DRIVING. TODAY, SAME THING, BUT LIGHTS WENT OFF A COUPLE OF TIMES RIGHT AFTER START UP. MY BRAKES AND TIRES WERE REPLACED IN LATE AUGUST. THE REPAIR SHOP SAID MY BRAKES WERE IN GOOD ORDER BUT THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR IS BAD. IF THIS DOESN'T CORRECT ISSUE, A WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND RESET THE STEERING ANGLE IS RECOMMENDED. NONE OF THESE ISSUES WOULD WARRANT THE ODD GRINDING NOISE WHEN BREAKING AND ONLY OCCASSIONALLY DOES THIS HAPPEN AND IT DID NOT OCCUR WHEN THE TECHNICIAN DROVE IT. THIS WAS ALL ON CITY STREETS AND DRIVING STRAIGHT IN GOOD WEATHER. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH INDICATES THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY OWNERS OF THE 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. MANY PEOPLE HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKES, SENSORS, ROTORS AND ALL THINGS BRAKES BUT STILL EXPERIENCE THE LIGHTS AND THE NOISE. OFTEN, THERE IS REFERENCE MADE TO THE CLOCK SPRING. SINCE I SAW SO MANY COMPLAINTS AND MY REPAIRMAN WAS SO VAGUE THAT HIS RECOMMENDATIONS WOULD ACTUALLY SOLVE THE ISSUE, I FELT IT IS WORTHY OF INVESTIGATING.

AIR BAGS
MY VEHICLE SHOWS ZERO RECALLS SO IT HAD THE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT BUT THE AIRBAG LIGHT NOW COMES ON WHICH I THINK INDICATES THAT THE NEW AIRBAG HAS MALFUNCTIONED. IT SEEMS THEY STILL USED ANOTHER INFERIOR AIRBAG PRODUCT OR MAYBE DIDN'T ACTUALLY REPLACE THE OLD ONE. THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE CAR IS CRANKED AND STAYS ON. THIS STARTED HAPPENING A FEW YEARS AGO SHORTLY AFTER THE AIRBAG "REPAIR" WAS MADE BY A DEALERSHIP AND THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WILL SOMETIMES BE OFF AND SOMETIMES BE ON. I DON'T RECALL THE EXACT DATE THE REPAIR WAS MADE BUT , IT SEEMS IT WAS IMPROPERLY REPAIRED.
