I have owned this jeep since 2012 and although it is on the small side for a family of 4, I cannot say one thing bad about it overall. Total reliability and ruggedness are king. I do all the maintenance and repairs and only spent a total of 500 dollars on parts and lubricants over the years. Example: was on the road and drivers rear caliper locked up. Original equip.. stopped at auto zone and they had all parts. Very common jeep but having all parts avail is nice. Just outstanding quality otherwise. Only cost me 120 to do a total brake job and new caliper and rotors. Inexpensive parts. Great jeep ..

This is a great little suv with a good amount of power. Its offroad capabilities are quite impressive too. Unfortunately, my particular vehicle is very unreliable. Its seems something always goes wrong no matter how much care goes into it. The driving experience is very enjoyable though. I would recommend buying one with low mileage and only if its cheap because something will likely go wrong while owning it.

Nothing but problems

Bought our Liberty new in 2003. After 2006, it has been nothing but maintenance problems. Issues with windows, door locks, blower motor, A/C compressor, Drive shaft. I could go on! This is only city and highway driving. I simply laugh when I see the TV commercials with a Jeep Liberty off road. Good luck with that! Can't wait to get rid of it.

I just bought this car in Jan. 2011, and I have owned it for 6 months now, I have already put in $800 for repairing. It has 204,000 miles on it but it was 95% highway miles. I guess this is why people leaning toward for foreign vehicles.

From the first test drive i was comfortable and happy as if i had it my whole life . I am in love. only thing i had t adjust to was window controls in the center and not on the door. nothing average about this ride . Im 5;1" its not always easy to find something that's comfortable that you can adjust so many ways . dint expect it to have so much electronic xtra. its a jeep thing and I DO understand,
