Consumer Description

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HER 2003 JEEP LIBERTY ON AN INTERSTATE IN A CONGESTED AREA WHEN IT BEGAN TO SHAKE AND DIED, LOSING POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. SHE WAS SOMEHOW ABLE TO PULL OVER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WITHOUT HAVING AN ACCIDENT. IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT IT WAS A BROKEN VALVE SPRING FOR AN INTAKE VALVE, SIMILAR TO MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR JEEP LIBERTYS. THIS LIBERTY ONLY HAS ABOUT 60K MILES AND VALVE SPRINGS SHOULD BE ABLE TO LAST 150K+ MILES. THIS APPEARS TO BE A RELATIVELY COMMON OCCURRENCE FOR THIS VEHICLE AND IT SHOULD BE UNACCEPTABLE FOR AN ENGINE WITH THIS LOW MILEAGE TO HAVE VALVE SPRINGS BREAK. AN ENGINE FAILURE AT HIGH SPEEDS COULD RESULT IN TRAGEDY AND PROPERTY LOSS. *TR
