My late diesel Jeep Liberty, RIP, had the 2.8L VM Motori, Italian built diesel. I had the first year production and it had a few growing pains. The transmission was technically undersized for the amount of torque of a diesel, VS, a gasoline engine. Also, the driveline components, U-joints, ETC.
The next year, all of those issues were corrected, but the sales wouldn't support, continuing the sales in the US.
