#1 of 1 2004 Jeep Liberty w/bad intake valves by jeepmama1 Aug 04, 2008 (2:46 pm)
I have a 2004 Jeep Liberty 6 cyl. I have not had any problems with the vehicle. After driving to camp and leaving the vehicle sitting for a week I noticed a white steam from the exhaust upon starting the car. The car drove fine all the way home. Within the next few days I had more white steam from the exhaust, it began to misfire, and the check engine light came on. When I took it to the dealer I was told all 6 intake valves needed to be replaced. Any ideas what would cause all 6 to fail at the same time, or do I need to find another mechanic?
