The Liberty is by far the best vehicle that I have ever owned. It has a great new look that that turns a lot of heads at intersections. The interior is simple, but nice. There is a lot of plastic but it is not nearly as bad as the cheap plastic of the patriot and compass. The suspension is very firm but does not throw you around. It makes the whole driving experience fun that you can only find in a jeep. The turning radius is amazing. Gas mileage is okay, I'm averaging about 18.6 right now, and hope for it to get better after the engine is broken in.
Slider roof noisy

Do not buy with slider roof. Purchased vehicle on 1/1/09. During test drive I asked about the roof noise & was told it would be a minor adjustment that could be done the next day. As rebates were expiring that day I purchased the car. The next day they couldn't fix in a day and I would have to leave the vehicle. After a week, the dist mgr, and 2 serv reps drove the car all agreed the noise was excessive. A week later they replaced a part and have declared it fixed. The noise is unchanged. I have paperwork showing that a Chrysler engineer said the repair they were going to do would not fix the problem. Chrysler will not buy the car back and have said it is normal noise.

It was an 08 and I bought it in 10...the sunroof has leaked every since I've owned it! after a storm I've gotten in only to find 3" of water standing in my driver side floor board! I've had drains cleans seals cleans n sprayed n it hasn't helped....I've read several forums with others of the same issues! now I'm having trouble with my 4wheel drive...it went out...several lites came one on control panel reading out 3 pages of codes as they gave me a print out...n wouldn't even try to work on it! I jus have a jeep as an ornament in my driveway! becuz it won't run w/o missing really bad Got it out of the shop and drove it like 7 times and it started missing again….then the engine lite came on….well it’s in the shop yet again. It’s never happened to me but when my dad borrowed it he said my wipers would turn on by themselves. Said my Jeep was haunted lol

My Liberty Gives Me Snow Storm Freedom

Purchased this vehicle for two reasons. ONE: to transport all our supplies for the tradeshows we do for our business and TWO ability to handle Great Lakes snow storms. It gets 5 stars in both catagories. I've read reviews that say its uncomfortable to ride in and sloppy on the road.. I find mine just the opposite. It's comfortable loaded with supplies and rides as I would expect a vehicle of it's class to ride. It handles great both on slippery and dry roads and I feel very safe driving it in all conditions.

Sky Slider is awesome

I purchased a Limited with a Sky Slider top, which I have to say is awesome. Nice to be one with nature. The 5 star frontal and side crash rating was a big plus. The ride is great, handles great in snow and ice...even better than my Grand Cherokee. Inside is roomy and comfortable, even for my 6 ft plus 16 year old son. I have the Limited fully loaded. For a Jeep, the new Liberty feels more like a luxurious crossover. It gets a lot of looks from people...sharp looking! I would purchase this vehicle all over again. The MyGig, Sirius radio and Sirius Traffic, heated seats and mirrors, remote start, navigation are wonderful options! It's a trail rated Jeep, what more can one expect?!
