We've owned a 97 Wrangler, 99 Cherokee and now this completely loaded Liberty. Loved them all and this one is the best. We just had a huge snowstorm here near Chicago. My wife and I went out for a drive before our streets were plowed. No one else could make it except for other jeeps or serious 4wd trucks. Our Liberty went through 19-20 inches pf snow without a hiccup. Comfortable, functional, and very capable in deep sand or snow.

I have owned (9) Jeeps over 25 years. (7) Grand Cherokees that were all 4.0 Straight 6 Cylinder Engines, and all were Fantastic. A 1993 went over 425,000 miles, a 1997 went 395,000 miles, and a 1998 went 385,000 miles. The (2) Liberty's that I have owned have been Junk by comparison. The 2002 was the better of the two. But, I began experiencing various Electrical Problems relatively early on, by my mileage standards, which admittedly, might be higher than most. The primary source of the Electrical Problems in both the 2002 and the 2008 Jeep Liberty is the "TIPM", (Totally Integrated Power Module), most would refer to this as the (Engine Compartment Fuse Box or a Power Distribution Center). This is located right by the Battery on both models. It is clearly a Manufacturing Defect. It is the primary source of almost all Electrical Problems with the Jeep Liberty. If you are having unusual electrical problems with this Jeep, take it directly to the dealer and demand that they check out the "TIPM". Be Firm, as they will do everything in their power to deny the problem, and make any form of accommodation to you. Chrysler is a Automaker that I will never deal with again. I gave them every opportunity to address this problem, and they refused. Some of the symptoms that I experienced, that were All Part Of The "TIPM" Malfunction were, Door Lock Malfunctions, Tailgate wouldn't Lock, Windshield Washer Motor wouldn't work, Vehicle wouldn't start when hot. What I mean by Hot is not overheating, but rather driving normally and making a stop for gas, shutting off the engine, and trying to restart it, with no success. The "TIPM" Malfunction will not allow current to flow to the starter, making it appear as if there was no available current at all. And that's just part of the Electrical Problems with the 2008 Jeep Liberty. There are other Problems too Numerous to Mention. NEVER, NEVER AGAIN WILL I BUY A JEEP. I could have not been a more Loyal Jeep Customer, and told everybody about my Excellent Jeeps of the Past, but Jeep/Chrysler has shown that they really aren't interest in retaining Long-Time Loyal Customers, but would rather find New Customers Instead........

Throttle malfunction dilemma

Leased this vehicle in January 2008. Have had 2 episodes of "throttle malfunction" where accelerator pedal sticks to the floor and vehicle speeds out of control. Dealer has had vehicle back 3 times and can't duplicate the problem so now vehicle sits in my driveway because no repairs have been made and I feel it's not safe to drive. Unfortunately I've had to hire a Lemon Law Attorney to help me break this lease and rid myself of an obviously unsafe vehicle to drive. The vehicle has stored codes that reflect this malfunction.

After two Ford Explorer Limiteds that let me down big time, it was time to change, so I looked at X-terra, Toyota, and Jeep. Loved the new squared off styling on the Jeep Limited with the full size tire now underneath. The ride and comfort for my 6'1" frame has been superb with plenty of leg room and the handling has been great, plus it's quiet. The interior layout is ergonomically fantastic and well planned. The MYGIG radio system with Infinity speakers is the best sound system I have had in a vehicle and bluetooth phone connects are effortless plus the navigation system always guides me home correctly. I am so happy with this vehicle that I bought another one to keep at a 2nd home.

Compared to other small Utes, the Liberty Limited has them beat. Little things, such as: Memory Seating, easy exit, remote start. Put this rig above the rest. The V-6 is lack-luster and it doesn't get great mileage in town, but I got 23 MPG on a 2000 mile trip. The seats are very comfortable and even though the foot wells seem crowded, there is plenty of room and I'm a big Norwegian. I had a 4x4 Escape before and thought that was a great car, but the features, such as: 4 wheel disk brakes and real 4x4 put he Escape to shame. The Jeep didn't even cost any more than the Ford. It rides well and runs great. Looks good too!
