The dealer advised the contact that the engine was misfiring due to valve failures within the engine block.

2006 Jeep Liberty 4X4 engine misfires due to poor valve design with only 26,000 miles on the vehicle. Found codes po 301, 302, 303, 304 (cylinder misfires). Removed cylinder heads and found intake valves to be failing, replaced intake valves and keepers and lapped valves. Chrysler knew about the problem, redesigned the valves did not issue a recall notice and the vehicle is now 4 months out of warranty.

I have had multiple problems related to the back lights on my 2006 Jeep Liberty renegade 4X4 vehicle. I purchased the car new with no miles on it. Recently, the gas pump was leaking and a valve was installed to stop the oil from leaking. The back light rack had to be replaced twice in two months. The back lights have gone out numerous of times.
