About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
My 2005 Jeep Liberty crd has a transmission "shudder" and looses power between 55 and 60 mph. This appears to be a common problem with crd owners and Jeep has issued several tsb's that consist of computer reflashes that have not corrected the problem. I am to the point where I do not Transport my children in this vehicle because it looses power at 55 mph on highway merges and cruising. I am very concerned with the safety, because other crd owners have experienced transmission failure following the "shudder" symptom. Jeep only made 11,000 crd's (discontinued in 2006, however still part of their marketing campaign!) and the owners are having a difficult time getting them to respond to several safety problems. The erg valve is another issue. Mine has been replaced once, other crd owners have had multiple replacements. My Jeep crd totally lost power when the egr valve failed. It was on an interstate traveling 65 mph. Luckily I had a clear path to coast to the shoulder.
