Love Hate Relationship

I purchased my liberty off of my aunt at 54,000 mi. She was the only owner and took great care of it. I loved this jeep so much until it started breaking down on me left and right. I have had to replace the brive bar 2x, the starter crapped the bed, both rear windows went out (electric, they just dropped). We had door stoppers in the windows... it completely died on me and started smoking in the middleof a 70 mile stretch of mountain road (it didnt overheat) and the mechanics couldnt fond the issue. She started back up after the towe... the hydraulics went out in the rear window so we ad to lift it and hold our heads under it to load anything in the back... 3-5 recalls, there is so much more but thats just naming a few... its comfortable for a short time but long drives began to hurt my back (1.5+ hr). The fuel economy is horrid we averaged 15.5 city and 19/20 hwy. It sucked me dry but we do a lot of driving. Honestly it was a huge burden and im so thankful ive now traded it in and am extremely hesitant to ever consider another Jeep.

Great Car, Bad Mileage

The car is a great everyday car, especially for commuting around town. I love to park with this car because it will easily pop over barriers and curbs with relative ease. The seats, although not leather, are extremely comfortable and easy to slide on due to the high quality fabric. The engine power is great, I just wish the mileage was something over 16 MPG, and I am not a crazy "off-the-line" driver.

Keeps you up at night worrying

Bought it new and put 37k miles on it, did all scheduled maintenance. Engine has sounded rough from the first day - should have been a sign to me. First problems were windows; drivers side window has fell into door twice and back passenger window fell once. Then a strange rattling noise began (it comes and goes). Every time it rains I find my seats with white stains on them, can not figure out how the water gets in and surprised how bad the stains are. Then at 35k the CHECK ENGINE light came on. All the VALVE SPRINGS needed to be replaced. After that was done car makes hissing noises. At 36k needed new tires. Getting rid of car at getting a more reliable brand so that I can sleep at night.

Might just be a Lemon

I purchased this Jeep barely 8 months after it was originally purchased and I have had something break on it pretty much every 6 months. I have had to replace the spring tensioner on the fan belt, 2 rear window regulators, the linkage and park mechanism on the steering column, pressure valves etc. Its only 4 years old! It has been fun to drive but I am seriously disappointed with all of the repairs that I have had to make. I owned a Japanese car for 10 years and never ever had any trouble like this. All these repairs have cost me at least another year in car payments and I am absolutely disgusted with Chrysler's manufacturing and customer service regarding this product.

Great Car

I have read these reviews and I have been very lucky with my Liberty. I drive both city and highway. I get 20 miles per gallon when I drive smart. No jack rabbit starts. As for the brakes I have 78,000 miles on it and still have original front brakes. I have had one window break and fall down and had a friend wedge it up. (it is the back drivers side) So I can't roll it up or down. I have had this car for almost 4 years and have only put new tires on at 55K, new back brakes at 65K, and did tuneup, transmission and raditor service at 55K. This has been a great car and I would buy another in a heartbeat!
