I had the transmission serviced, but 6 months later the transmission failed and needed to be repaired. So far I am told there is no recall. Then you cannot restart it. The car starts and runs for 30 seconds and stalls. This is actually the second time this has occurred.
If so, Chrysler will replace the tow hitch with a Chrysler designed tow hitch free of charge, provided the condition of the vehicle can support proper installation. Apparently, these fuel heater elements are constantly activated. Found fuel leak on pre-heater connector to fuel water separator housing. Obviously, fuel leaking on electrical connectors especially an electrical fuel heater component , doesn't make for a safe mix. This included the first-ever Jeep smoker, a 2.
Yes there have been a few recalls but the vehicle has been very reliable. I chose the Renegade because I do not like the front end on the Liberty Sport. The engine sounds like a farm tractor and acceleration is slow. Smell of burning plastic and diesel was present inside vehicle. .
I love my 2005 Jeep Liberty with awesomeness and minor flaws. Pulled over and opened hood, to find boiling diesel steam coming from heater electrical port on fuel head. I noticed that the fuel heater plug located in the filter head was moist. Barring some dramatic change in technology, passenger-car diesels will disappear by 2007, when Tier 2 emissions regs come on in full force. This, along with the fact that No.
If fuel heater was to catch fire filter head and all fuel could burn to crisp in minutes. However, no repairs could be completed as the pulley was made not to be removed. The fuel and water separator is leaking diesel fuel from the heater electrical lines. Could of caused a severe accident. In an era when most compression-ignition engines are almost as smooth and quiet as their gasoline counterparts, the Liberty's 2. Now the same thing is happening again which upon further research have found this to be a common issue with the crd's.
Vehicles included in that campaign are not included in this recall. Odometer reads 128000 miles but at 64000 Chrysler installed a factory new engine. Took it into repair the problem and didn't think anything of it. I pulled the plug and heard a air-sucking sound. Found some burnt and melted plastic where connector was. Car does have weather tech liners in front and back. My connector is soaked in diesel fuel.
If you open the hood and pump the hand pump on the side of the fuel filter, which is mounted on the left fire wall, the car will eventually start and run. Old part will be available. Disconnecting the heater connector from the fuel filter head allowed several drops of fuel to escape. Replacement parts are hard to find due to this seems to be a real problem with this vehicle. Comes on and the I turn the car off and restart. We got 20 mpg with the diesel, which was exactly a 25-percent improvement over the 16 mpg we achieved with the V-6.
Many have caught on fire. Have to replace the fuel filter head. Chrysler obviously knows about their mistake, when I called them they were able to sell me a new separator with an updated fuel heater connection, fixing the known issue. One cautionary note: If you find the notion of a Liberty diesel appealing, buy soon. This is considerably less horsepower than you get from the Liberty's optional 210-hp, 3. This issue caused the vehicle to stop running at a traffic light in heavy traffic. There had also been electronic throttle control warning light flashing occasionally.
Plug was discolored with heat. A picture can be seen at the following link: I will be contacting the dealer and having the filter head replaced. Our turbo-diesel tester rattled to 60 mph in 10. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. As of right now, I love my Jeep Liberty!! I can see huge lawsuits towards Chrysler if someone was to be killed stalling and or burning in vehicle.
