Consumer Description

CAR OVERHEATED, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STEAM POURED OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD ON THE HIGHWAY. MECHANIC USED A SCAN TOOL AND DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS A CYLINDER 2 MISFIRE. COOLANT WAS FOUND IN THE CYLINDER AND MAYBE THE HEAD GASKET NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WHEN THE HEAD WAS REMOVED THE GASKET WAS OK BUT IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE (LONG BLOCK) NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE FOUND OTHER OWNERS ONLINE WHO HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE 2002 AND 2003 JEEP LIBERTY'S. I AM OVER THE 7 YEAR 70,000 MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. CAR WAS ALWAYS MAINTAINED AND REGULAR OIL CHANGES WERE PERFORMED. NO OFF-ROADING OR TOWING DONE WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR
