Consumer Description

MY 2004 JEEP LIBERTY WITH 46,253 MILES HAS BLOWN A HEAD GASKET FOR NO REASON. THE AUTO SHOP STATED THAT THE JEEP LIBERTY ARE ALL BLOWING HEAD GASKETS FOR NO REASON. I FOUND OUT ABOUT IT WHEN I GOT AN OIL CHANGE AND THEY TOLD ME I HAVE ANTI FREEZE IN MY OIL. I SAID WHAT DOES THAT MEAN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAVE A BLOWN HEAD GASKET AND THAT IS HOW ANTI FREEZE IS GETTING INTO THE OIL. THE AUTO SHOP THAT FIXED IT CHARGED ME $1,395.34 TO FIX IT AND THEY TOLD ME THAT JEEP LIBERTY'S HAVE BEEN BLOWING HEAD GASKETS. HE ALREADY FIXED A LOT OF JEEP LIBERTY'S HEAD GASKETS. I ASKED HIM WHAT WOULD OF HAPPENED IF I DIDN'T GET AN OIL CHANGE AND KEPT DRIVING WITH THE ANTI FREEZE IN THE OIL. HE TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE BLOWN THE ENGINE. HE ALSO STATED THAT JEEP IS LOOKING INTO THE PROBLEM AND FOR ME TO KEEP THE RECEIPT IN CASE THEY DO HAVE A RECALL ON THERE HEAD GASKETS. I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT ABOUT JEEP LIBERTY'S HEAD GASKET PROBLEMS. *TR
