#80 of 207 Not wanting too accelerate by sarah1389

Jun 17, 2009 (5:53 am)

I just purchased a 2006 Jeep Liberty Non Diesel Automatic. Since having this car for about three weeks now i have had the car not want to accelerate on take off. It starts goes to about 15mph but then stops as if I'm in neutral. The problem when I push the pedal to the floor is it doesn't do anything. It last about 30 seconds and then goes on its merry way. My fear is it is going to do this and someone is going to clobber me in the back end.
  
Is this a common problem and how do I fix it?

This is a quick but can be a expensive fix. Your fuel pump is going out and needs to be replaced. I would also do your fuel filter.. Peace

My 02 liberty 3.7 had a valve seat come loose and stick the valve open at 109000 miles. The service center I took it to told me I had 3 dead cylinders. They had me ready to drop over 4000 dollars for a replacement engine. My nephew suggested we check the compression ourselves and we found only 1 bad cylinder. The head is in the shop and will be fixed for around 100 dollars. This is a lot better but reading your message and a couple others I am worried about the future of my engine.

#84 of 207 03 Liberty 3.7 Engine Oil leak and terrible smell by kcmministry

Oct 25, 2009 (4:05 pm)

I have discovered oil leaking around the right side of the engine toward the rear of the engine. It leaks down on the exhaust pipe and causes a teribble smell. I can not find a leak at the valve cover.
 
Any Ideas?
 
P.S. I have 182,000 miles with no trouble up till now.

The jeeps 2002 thru 2006 are having valves go bad and they know about it but refused to issue a recall. Our valve went bad after 70000 miles and Chrysler Jeep refused to help out. We bought car new and engine went out. Worst mistake we ever made. We discovered other people also having problem but Chrysler keeping it quiet so don't have to help people. Never buy Jeep or Chrysler products. They are lieing to public and not reporting these issues.tell as many people as you know.

When your valves were going did yours do the same thing or was it sudden
The reason im asking is why does the light go out when you turn it off and start the engine again
What im thinking if the valves were gone I would here a ticking and it should blow smoke out the ass end and run rough but mine runs smooth
Is it possible it could be an electrical problem also
I am a tech but I work on trucks and diesel equipment but I will see if I can get to the bottom of this problem through a few tech buddies
I will post back and let you know what the results are
Thanks for your fast response
