I bought my 2005 in 2012 with less than 50,000 miles. She is now at 114,000 and has had normal wear and tear with everyday driving to and from work/play; no mud driving only heavy snow with great handing using 4WD. I recently replaced radiator and fuel pump. I'm hoping to keep her up to 250,000 or more. The best car I've ever had and she has made me committed to 4WD only for now on.

Bought my 05' Liberty Sport 4wd used in 2014 with 137,000k on it. One day of ownership the radiator was cracked and had to replace, drove good for a few months after that but then had to replace the Ujoints, ac works when it wants, horrible raddeling when heat or ac is on, leaks tranny fluid, oil, and coolant like crazy! Had to replace the steering column about a month ago and while the dealer was looking at it he noticed the transfer case needs replaced also front and back differential. Can't drive far bc it shakes so bad at 30mph! The seats are very uncomfortable, the speakers suck, road noise was a given since it is a Jeep. Great off-roading and in the snow but not long trips. Yes the gas mileage is bad but what do except for the year and a 3.7L. I still want to give Jeep another try and will buy another but maybe a Wrangler next.

Piece of Junk

After 75,000 miles, I had to replace the transmission at a cost of nearly $3000. One would think you could get just a little more mileage than that. The water pump went out at 58,000 miles. Just in time to be covered by the warranty. A lot of rattling which is typical of Jeeps as they age. Goes good in the snow, which is what I'm going to use it for now. But wouldn't buy another one for everyday commuting.

It's a Lemon...

Purchased 2005 Jeep Liberty Sport 4x4 on 6/30/05 with 14 miles on it. Has been in the shop with a known transmission defect (but apparently undisclosed by manufacturer) for over a month. The release date for the repair has come and gone, but it is now on back order. Chrysler/Jeep will not stand behind product. Told me to sue them under lemon law. Think twice before you buy! At the very least verify that the vehicle you purchase was manufactured after April 2005.
