Owners of the Jeep Liberty equipped with a 3.7 liter engine have complained of head gasket failure due to overheating. The overheating is caused by a loss of coolant that is related, among other things, to engine oil conditions. A common complaint of 3.7 owners includes finding a "brown sludge" in the Liberty's oil filler neck where healthy oil should be. The radiator often develops a crack in the drivers side upper tank. It is usually small and almost not discernible to the naked eye. Over time antifreeze will leak from the Jeep and into the motor, destroying engine bearings and causing the head gaskets to fail. If not intercepted early, the entire motor may need replaced. The average cost to repair a head gasket on the Liberty is $990-$1,200 in parts and labor.

I have had 2 Jeep Liberty’s, my brother one. One was 05, other 2 were 2010. All these Jeeps had a blown head gasket!! I guess that’s why they don’t make them anymore. You can bet I won’t!!
