    What is ‘normal’ operating temp for 2012 Liberty?

    What is ‘normal’ operating temp for 2012 Liberty?

    Water temp, that is? I’ve read posts here from a person that had a 2002 that said normal was 255. Seems awfully high to me My heater still not working well, I put in a ‘cool’ thermostat in it (184). If 255 is ‘normal’’ it’s possible it’s just not getting hot enough. I’ve put in a new radiator...

    2002 Limited 3.7L Engine Repair/Replace Advice

    I just replaced both cylinder heads for a 2012 Jeep Liberty after overheating. Both aluminum heads turned into a pretzel & were junk. Other people here that have mentioned whatever you think the repair cost is, go ahead & double it. What I thought would be 1-2 weeks time & around $500 to fix...

Im simply looking for the Jeep agency to speak to about warranty work, if any warranty work exists for this vehicle anymore. If none exists, fine, I’ll...
