With 40k miles, our crd sport has developed a rear main seal leak, which was confirmed by the dealer yesterday. Our Liberty is an 05 which come with 7/70,000 power train warranty less $100.00. One week to get the parts shipped. I have not done the F37 recall, due to the fact I tow a camping trailer over the continental divide and need all the power the 2.8L has. I get 19 mpg towing and 27-30 on the hwy. I am very satified with this vehicle. I am waiting for the Hybrid/diesel pickup to arrive from India in 2010. All the other Mfg. have given up on the small diesel engines.

They pulled the pan found no trouble with anything trans related. $190 for the tow and diagnosis. Off to the general auto shop who claimed they had the ability to work in the CRD. Their diagnosis, turbo and the computer needed to be flashed…something they couldn’t do after all. $135 for the tow and some tech reference service. Off to the dealer. I have no confidence in the dealers after my previous five trips for other issues and there lack of concern for my satisfaction. The Dealer tells me there’s no need to flash the computer but there’s something wrong with the turbo, $360 to diagnose. Four more days and they decide to replace the turbo. $2600 and five days for the part…. If all goes well I’m sneaking up on $3k for a car with $58kmiles and I’m not sure is this has anything to do with the random down shifting at hi-way speed. Should I keep this car? Any body want to buy it? I don’t have the time or money to deal with this stuff on a regular basis….

The CRD engine should not be able to pull the truck at highway speed without the turbo boost because it doesn't have enough compression to fully burn the fuel it needs. You would then see black smoke as the boost pressure decreases. Get rid of it if you feel too many people are after your wallet! |
