Consumer Description

I OWNED THE JEEP FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS. IT RAN GREAT, NO PROBLEMS THEN OUT OF NO WHERE IT WOULDN'T START. SOUNDED LIKE THE BATTERY WAS DEAD AND JUST NOT TURNING OVER AND HAD IT LOOKED AT ABOUT TWO DAYS LATER. HE TOLD ME THAT THE SECOND CYLINDER HAD NO COMPRESSION THEREFORE THE ENGINE WAS BLOWN. PERSONALLY I LOVE JEEPS AND WOULDN'T WANT ANYTHING ELSE BUT AFTER HEARING THIS, AND HAVING IT BE A KNOWN ISSUE FOR THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL I WOULD HAVE CHOSEN A LITTLE WISER. I READ ABOUT SEVERAL 2002 JEEP LIBERTIES WITH THE SAME ISSUE WHICH LED ME TO THIS SITE. *TR
