NHTSA Complaint #10630724 — 2002 JEEP LIBERTY

THIS WAS MY PRIMARY (AND ONLY) TRANSPORTATION AND THE JEEP RAN AS NORMAL ON 06/19/2014, NO PROBLEMS OR NOISES. I CRANKED IT UP ON THE MORNING OF 06/20/2013 AND THE MOTOR WAS KNOCKING LIKE CRAZY. I TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP AND LET THEM LISTEN TO THE NOISE. I WAS ADVISED THAT 1ST, THE NOISE SOUNDED LIKE THE ROCKER ARM OR BEADS AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST JEEP LIBERTY THEY HAVE SEEN WITH THIS PROBLEM AND 2ND IT WAS NOT SAFE FOR ME TO BE DRIVING THE JEEP WITH THIS PROBLEM AS THE ENGINE COULD POSSIBLY FAIL CAUSING A CRASH AND 3RD I WILL HAVE TO BUY A NEW MOTOR FOR THIS VEHICLE WHICH IS AROUND $2,000.00 AND UP FOR A REBUILT ENGINE OR $6,000.00 AND UP FOR A NEW ONE. I WAS STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS VEHICLE AND DIDN'T HAVE THIS TYPE OF $$ JUST LYING AROUND SO IT HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR OVER A YEAR. FROM MY RESEARCH ONLINE, THERE ARE NUMEROUS CONSUMERS WHO HAVE HAD THIS SAME ENGINE PROBLEM YET CHRYSLER HAS NOT BEEN MADE TO RECALL THERE ENGINE FOR DEFECTIVE PARTS. ON BEHALF OF JEEP LIBERTY OWNERS THAT HAVE HAD TO FACE THIS HUGE PROBLEM, I AM REQUESTING THAT THIS ISSUE BE RESEARCHED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!! JEEPS ARE NOT BOTTOM LINE VEHICLES AS MOST PEOPLE KNOW. I PERSONALLY PAID $30,000.00 FOR THIS VEHICLE AND AM FURIOUS AT THE LACK OF RESPONSE OR SENSE OF URGENCY BY CHRYSLER TO RESOLVE THIS AND ALL THE OTHER ISSUES WITH THEIR VEHICLES. IF YOU ARE GOING TO CHARGE FOR VEHICLES LIKE THEY ARE 5 STAR VEHICLES, THEN YOU NEED TO SELL A 5 STAR PRODUCT OR GIVE 5 STAR RESPECTABLE SERVICE AND CORRECT YOUR DEFECTS. *TR
