I have the Rocky Mountain edition of the 2004 Jeep Liberty. LOVE IT! Handles great. Moves when you want it to move. Drove like a dream in a foot and a half of snow. My wife drives this vehicle more than I do. But I love it so much I am buying another Jeep for myself.

I've had the Liberty for awhile now and I could not be happier with it. Every time that I drive it I'm happy with it and every time I see it I just have to smile! It's so cute!

Jeep-Chrysler does not care

I was originally impressed with the vehicle's fuel mileage and reliability. Then came the first recall to replace the lower ball joints, which was fine, at the same time the torque converter was replaced. This occurred at 12,000 miles, since then the liberty has been back in the shop 4 times, due to the transmission shifting rough, if at all. Each time the shop has failed to find a problem, which is convenient since it is still on warranty. The other major problem, was brake failure. It took taking back to the dealer 3 times before the problem was addressed. And the only reason it was fixed was because the service tech was almost in an accident due to no brakes.

We just bought a used Liberty and we love it! The back door is my favorite feature. It's comfortable to drive, there's plenty of power and gas mileage is good. It drives like a Jeep, not like a car, which is what we we wanted and were expecting. If you want a great little Jeep to take off road and to the store, get a Liberty! Buy American!

I have had my liberty for 2 years, and I love it. After I got it I read a lot of bad reviews, but I haven't had any problems with mine in that time. It has had nothing go out, or be replaced. I drive a lot, close to 30,000 a year or so too. I love the 4 wheel drive it works great, goes right through the snow or mud easily. I think it handles great, I like tight steering. Overall I would recommend it to anyone. It's pretty small, but it is a compact suv. And it rides a little rough. But I like that, it feels tough to me. Gas mileage isn't great, but again, that's to be expected. No complaints here, I'd buy one again anyday.
