Used 2008 Jeep Liberty Limited Edition 4dr SUV (3.7L 6cyl 4A) Consumer Reviews
too many electrical issues!
the motor in the driver window gives out. I think I had it for about 2.5 years. then shortly after, there's a short in the rear window wiper. just starts wiping on it's own. I didn't turn it on and it wont turn off! I would have to pull over and turn off the car and turn it back on a few times hoping to get it to stop. then in late 2015 the cruise control, radio and all the door locks except the driver door stopped working! (including the hatch! can't open the hatch!) I cared for the car as well as I could. regular oil changes and maintenance. full tune up at 4 years. it was never taken off roading. used it to get to work and to home.

Sky Slider Wind Noise FIXED
Ladies & Gentleman: Alas, I finally had the Sky Slider Wind Noise FIXED on my 2008 Jeep Liberty Limited! I was paranoid about a mechanic touching my roof and making it worse. Since the date I purchased the vehicle in August 2008, I had extreme wind noise and the roof would "puff up" 1/2" -1" in the interior after I reached 65 mph. The noise was completely unbearable when I drove into a 10-15 mph headwind, it was impossible to carry on a conversation, and very difficult to hear the radio. Today, I took my Jeep to Ancira Jeep on I-10 West. Jaye Patton was extremely helpful at the front desk, and the service tech did a marvelous job! I took my Jeep up to 85 mph on the Interstate

Sky Slider Problems
I bought my 2008 jeep liberty suv in May 2011. The sky slider (moonroom) very loud. Now yesterday March 28, 2012 the sky slider broke on the pasenger side. Took it to the jeep dealer today March 29, 2012, and was told that the rod that goes throught the track on the pasenger side was broke and needs to be replaced. Also I was told that it would cost $4-$5000.00 dollars to me its not worth fixing. So I found this site and am shocked to see all the reviews in reguards to this same year and problem. Thank you to one of the post and gave me the number to call DMV to report problem so maybe they will recall this. To those of you with this same issue please call this number 1-888-327-4236.
FOR REAL! Best SUV / CAR in the World for the money!
Have owned s-class Mercedes, 7-Series BMWs, Audi A-8 etc. But they are all way over-engineered hence have allot of problems. Our 2008 JEEP Liberty is the best suv / car in the world. It's great looking, safe, reliable, offers tremendous value etc. The best thing that I have done in 2010 is sell our 745Li and purchase a used 2008 JEEP Liberty. and but a 2008 JEEP LIberty.
Get Ready To Fix Things That Don’t Stay Fixed.
Get ready to dump money into it than what it’s actually worth! I bought my 2008 Liberty with 120,000 miles. In 2 years it’s sitting at 138,000.. 4x4 is USELESS in this vehicle.. It goes out, even if you DON’T USE IT. My 4x4 went out 2 months after I bought it. I didn’t even use it. (It’s was early September in Iowa, it was still nice out and I don’t abuse my vehicles -mudding, off-roading-) The 4x4 lights kicked on after driving 2 hours North to South Dakota. My dash lit up like a Christmas Tree. The dealer “split” the cost of the fix which was wildly annoying, it was still $1,000 out of MY pocket while I’m STILL PAYING ON IT, BUT WHATEVER.. I used the 4x4 ONE TIME after it got “fixed” when winter hit. That was it. Roll around to summer.. I was on the interstate and the lights popped on again.. The 4x4 went out AGAIN... Called the dealership and they said it wasn’t even worth fixing. If I wanted to fix it, it would be upwards of $3,000! My heat went out within the first year I owned it, got that fixed for $500, and then when that summer rolled around, the AIR CONDITIONING didn’t work.. (I haven’t even bothered) I’ve had my break pads and that whole system “fixed”... Balljoints replaced.. Still squeaks.. I’ve only had my Jeep almost 2 years this coming July... Now the computer is going out. When I go to turn my key to start it, it acts like it’s going to start, but gets stuck in an on/off position and it rattles the motor. I am beyond mad because I JUST paid it off.... It isn’t even worth fixing and I’m currently looking for another vehicle! This vehicle has been nothing but a money pit! The gas is also bad, you might as well buy a truck for how much gas this thing guzzles. I bought the Jeep FOR the 4x4 since Jeeps seems to be the only things with 4x4 and I’ve heard nothing but great things about Jeeps... (all wheel drive is the standard it seems for most other companies on SUV’s and AWD is a joke in my opinion) .. but from this experience, I am good on the Jeep front. I will look for something with Front Wheel and wash my hands of this. Such a horrible experience with this vehicle! My 2000 Jetta was better than this thing! I bought that used for $2500 and it lasted me for 5 years at least! Good lord. And the only reason I got rid of the Jetta is because the part were too expensive if something went wrong and the oil changes were $120 a pop. (I don’t recommend Volkswagen either while I’m at it, they’re too expensive to fix and maintain!) lol. Lesson learned, doing my Homework this time around!!!!! (I bought my Liberty from a reputable dealership, by the way, not some place that buys auction cars) be careful and do research before wasting your money.
