I adore my 2004 Jeep Liberty. She has been nothing but a great vehicle. The jeep has helped me move out of college (filled to the top with stuff) and the winters in Kutztown, Pennsylvania! This thing has driven through over a foot of heavy snow with NO issue. I have also taken it off roading on some pretty aggresive trails and for this being stock (newer aggressive tires only) it powered through! It has decent pick-up for merging onto highways and the turning radius is FANTASTIC. This car is reliable, safe and ready for whatever you throw at it!

Bought the 2004 Liberty used in 2007 "ASIS" from our local Jeep dealer after my certified master mechanic did a full inspection and told us it seemed OK. Found out a year later that a "silent recall" was in effect at time of purchase, but I was not informed of this. A year after purchase, I was stranded 60 miles from home when the known-defective part failed. Towing and replacement of the $5 part cost me $1,200. Dealer denied any responsibility "If I had brought it in for any service, the repair (replacing the springs, including lifting the engine) would have been done for free. 2 years after that, while driving the interstate under 100% perfect driving conditions, with 3 retirement-age passengers, I suddenly found myself with no steering (wheel had no effect). The car rolled 3 times then flipped end-over-end, skidded to a halt on its roof. The police wrote it up as a no-fault unknown cause accident, verified by multiple witnesses. We got a recall notice 2 years later that explained that a suspension problem could cause sudden loss of steering. When we contacted Jeep, they said unless we still had the wreck we were S.O.L. The standard Jeep dealer and factory response was always "We don't care!" Comfort? How comfortable is hanging from your seatbelt unable to breathe while the car is resting upside down? Bottom line: The vehicle was great to drive, and its' safety features (rollbar, etc.) kept all 4 of us safe from serious injury during out roll/flip accident. But during my ownership the service division and corporate Jeep were so bad, and my cost for service was so high (thousands), for things that should have been covered, that 12 years later I am still warning everybody, "Do NOT buy a Jeep, and if you do, do NOT have it serviced at Faricy Boys dealership." P.S. - I'm STILL getting offers to extend my warranty on the vehicle.

Our 2004 Jeep Liberty has 135,000 miles and runs great. It has been through 37 out of 50 states in these USA. It has been driven in the mountains of Oregon, Colorado, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Arizona... it is a 3.7 L 6 cylinder with a 5 speed manual-it is my daily driver because it is dependable; however I stay away from Jeep dealerships because they are high priced and not dependable. It gets 18 mpg around town and 20+ on the road. I would like to see a Jeep Liberty remake with body on frame, diesel, and 6 speed manual... imho.
