Hi Winter. Well I think I may have the EGR problem solved. After my last comment I cleaned the MAP Sensor and the Boost Pressure Sensor with cleaner. That seemed to solve the problem but to be on the safe side and after consulting with te repuable dealer the dealer warrantied the EGR valve ans defective and replaced it. Hopefully this will solve the issue . I have learned a lot about my problem and wish to thank all who participated in fixing this problem. Chrysler really needs to step up to the plate ion this and find a alternative for the EGR system on this unit. I understnad this is a constant problem on the vehicle and they should take care of it no matter what. I also understand one can buy what is called an EGR Kit to bypass the EGR. While this won't help in states the requireire emission testing and can not be done by the dealer I would think that it would help in severe issues like mine. Thanks again. Wish me luck and I hope the damn light does not come back on again.

It is past the 36 months, that is the reason I was asking about the extended warranty. If it is covered by the original warranty then it SHOULD be covered by the extended warranty I would think. Bought the best warranty available.

I have an opportunity to purchase 4 Blizzak WS60 235/65/16 for my '05 CRD Liberty. Does anyone know if these would fit and not interfere?

You should always get the exact same size as original equipment or a small diameter tire for winter 225 75R 16. I believe a Blizzak comes in this size. 
The optimum tire size for a Liberty is 205 80r 16 but they are hard to find. 
If you are not a high speed driver but are in need of a great tire and great value for winter trips check out the FIrestone Winterforce UV 225/75R16. They are available from Tire Rack at a huge saving price. Truely a great snow traction tire!

stripped oil pan threads by lube shop

I have a 2005 jeep liberty diesel. Recently I had the oil changed at a lube shop and they apparently stripped the threads on the oil pan. Much of my oil - down to the minimum level was on my garage floor when I noticed oil leaking out from under my jeep. Can I hold the lube shop liable? I had to have the oil pan replaced by my jeep dealer and the mechanic said that the new oil plug that the lube shop put in was so loose that he could move it back and forth. He said if I would have gone over a "bump", the plug could have come out and I would have lost all my oil. Any mechanic who could give me your response regarding liability would be appreciated.

ok, so I now have the same problem (surging and smoking while driving, idling fine) I was able to get home at about 30mph but stepping on the throttle, the surging starts and big plumes of smoke come out.
I followed the thread but did not discover what hobjr's solution was. I read a lot of suggestions but what ended up being the problem? A trucker on the road (that was telling me that I was smoking a lot) told me that it is a clogged fuel filter but I find that unlikely as the problem began suddenly and not gradually.
Thanks in advance

Apparently the striped oil plug seems to come up a lot. I have the same problem but temporarily I sealed it with high temp silicone till the next oil change. I don't want to change the pan because the problem will probably reappear later by the next oil-change idiot. So, I am going to tap it to 1 or 2mm larger and make (or find) new wider oil plug. You can probably hold the oil-change outfil liable if you have receipts. You may have to file a complaint with your State's consumer automotive affairs dept to have some clout behind your claim, or at least threaten them with the reporting.
Not a lawyer so I may be way off on this....
