Brakes

I have had concerns with the rear brakes so took it to Codiroli Service department. They checked it out and said they couldn't find anything wrong. Continued to feel something wrong with the way my car was acting when I used the brakes. Also, had a noise coming from the rear of the car. Sounded like something was moaning. This noise is loud when I first start driving and than gets less loud after I have driven it a few miles. Took car in for first service (3,000 mile) and was told there is a recall for the brakes but can't fix them until the recall notices have been sent out. I find this very upsetting.. This problem should be fixed immediately. Why do I have to wait? Other than this I like my car.

Without doubt or hesitation the most fun I've had in any vehicle I've owned in 25 years. This is a REAL off-road vehicle not a tall car with 4WD. The perfect combination of on-road manners and off-road go-anywhere ability. A bit thirsty but this is a tough, solidly built truck. I've driven past half a dozen broken GMC and Ford vehicles on trails and I'm sure they get worse mileage. This truck has taken some of the toughest trails in N. America (Moab for instance). Nearly all the capability of a Wrangler with twice the comfort!

Jeep Liberty, the reliable Jeep

This is a great car that goes anywhere in comfort and gets you back safely. It's small and agile, but large enough to haul anything for a house or cabin. In a year of driving many miles the only thing its needed is oil changes.

My Liberty is a definite upgrade from my '00 Neon that was totalled. I bought the Liberty based on exhaustive research and an excellent deal from being a recent college graduate (1% below invoice plus rebates). Got mine fully equipped with Sirius satellite radio, sunscreen tinted glass, power sunroof, and all-terrain tires. The V6 gives it awesome power. I don't really intend on going off-road, I just wanted a secure vehicle for New England winters, and I definitely have it!

I traded in my 2001 Camaro SS for this vehicle. I needed a practical vehicle for every day driving. It's awesome in the snow. I flew by other new vehicles which got stuck in the snow. It's great for when I go shopping with my wife. It has great room and very comfortable. I test drove other vehicles before purchasing this one such as the Chevy Equinox and Mazda 3. The Jeep outperformed both and is much more quiet and smooth on the road. The off road lights are very bright. Forget about xenon lights, these are much brighter! Ground clearance is perfect. Gas mileage is what you'd expect from an SUV. As long as you drive it normally it's good on gas. I really enjoy driving my new Jeep!!
