Liberty Sport V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 101,000 miles

Ok, I bought my 2012 Jeep Liberty in May 2019, used from a dealer. Drove her 8 MONTHS when the ETC light came on, then went off. Then she died altogether. Dealership (different dealership) said she needed a new engine because the oil was burned and mine had locked up. Her engine locked up because... the radiator was full of sludge. So she needs a new radiator. OH AND she needs a new heater core because hers was full of... SLUDGE!!!!!

So, here I am having to pay for the repairs because, I at first accused the dealership I bought her from of not doing the right thing. Only to be told this is a JEEP issue. I owned an 2008 Jeep Liberty from her "birth" to her "death" thanks to Harvey, almost 10 years and never had this kind of issue. NEVER!!! I went BACK to JEEPS because I had 2 other cars not work for me!

NOW I was told that Jeep Wranglers have a class action lawsuit for the sludge. Does this also include the Liberty's? I would like someone else to pay for the repairs I am about to for mine. Oh and there is going to be another complaint since I couldn't add all this to 1
