Edmonds verse me
I have owned the 2010 Jeep Liberty for about 8 months and have found the negative press given to this vehicle to be just subjective preferences. The first knock by professionals is the power...well this Jeep has plenty of power and in fact is very zippy and torquey at low end. It gets up and scoots off the line but does lose some punch at 50 and above....but what is the speed limit? This Jeeps power is more than enough. The handling? love it! It is stable on the highway, fun to drive in town and has answered every task I have given it off road including 15 inches of snow mud combo and very rugged terrain. The interior cleans up well and while not fancy remember..its a Jeep.
Good Solid Jeep
I bought a Jeep Liberty Limited in June 2010 to replace my 1994 Cherokee Sport. My old Cherokee had nothing - no power anything. I got about everything on this Jeep including the touch screen stereo with GPS and sub-woofer. I like the ride, the way it looks and it is great in snow or on back roads in the mountains. I was disappointed in the power it has when it has to go up long mountain roads. Other than that, no problems at 22,000. One bit of advice, run non-ethanol gas for better power and 10% better mileage. On the interstate, I get 22-23 mpg at 70 with the good stuff.

Jeep Fan
This is truly an SUV! Second Jeep Liberty in my home. First one a 2002 Liberty Sport still running great after 205k miles. Reliable, fun to drive and pretty. Original paint great, no rust. Is a quality SUV.
Cheap Jeep
This was the first Jeep I have ever owned. This Jeep doesn't have all the electronic stuff and I am ok with that. I am looking at the dependability of this vehicle before I upgrade. I am amazed at how quite this Jeep is on the highway. My Cadillac CTS isn't that quite. This Jeep has great suspension and drives like a dream. Having to let go of my Chevy Colorado which I bought brand new in 2007 wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. This Jeep surpasses my expectations and I will not hesitate to get another one down the road.

Great SUV Value
I purchased my RWD Liberty Sport, equipped with the 3.7 L V-6 engine, brand new in late June 2010. I still happily own it after 119 months and 116,200 miles. The only fancy equipment on it consists of the big Sky-Slider sun roof and the My Gig REN head unit with the touchscreen, 4,000-song capacity hard drive and the U-Connect hands-free Mobil phone setup. (I installed the REN head unit and at the same time installed a superb after-market sound system six months after I bought the vehicle.). My Liberty has given fine service, due in part, no doubt, to the simplicity of the engine, transmission, suspension, and emission-control equipment. In 116,200 miles, the only expensive maintenance work (not repairs) I have had to undertake were the replacement of the real main seal and the oil pan gasket, which work was undertaken simultaneously with the change of the transmission fluid. The only parts that have actually failed (rather than wore out) in 116,200 miles have been: the driver’s power window switch, an AC rotary control switch, and a control board for the driver’s side brake light. Not bad for all those miles. The ride and handling have been good. I replaced the original coil springs and a completely worthless set of replacement Rancho heavy duty struts and shocks (which had been installed in March 2017) in September 2018. When I replaced the Rancho brand equipment, I installed Bilstein shocks and struts. The Bilstein equipment has made a tremendous improvement in the ride and handling and has been well worth the difference in the price of KYB or Rancho brand equipment. I have changed the oil regularly with a blended synthetic Penzoil oil, which I have had installed at Mopar dealers. I buy a 4-oil change service contract for $120, which is a good deal. Each oil change is good for 5,000 miles. I can take my Liberty to any hrysler-Dodge-Jeep-Ram dealer in America for an oil change using this Mopar service contract. I have had a lot of fun with my Liberty. It has proven to be a great value and a wise investment.
Luvin it!
So over the past 4 years we've purchased 2 used Jeep Liberty's for our kids; my turn now! I really like how they handle, especially in the snow. I did a little research and traded in my 2007 Honda Fit for a 2010 Jeep Liberty Sport. The seat is extremely comfortable, the ride is great. The acceleration and gas mileage is meh, but I knew that beforehand. My husband drives a Suburban, which is an awesome vehicle in it's own right, but I wanted something a little smaller and easier to park. I drive to Northern Michigan on a regular basis and I've already driven it twice. Great vehicle!

Nothing Timid Here! 2010 Jeep Liberty LTD 4x4
I'm surprised by the spectrum of reviews of this vehicle - from Love It to Leave It with few in the middle. This is a powerful, reliable, comfortable & well designed vehicle with a nice compliment of "luxuries" - especially in this price range. Driving the Liberty LTD 4x4, the interior experience - solid ride in the quiet, well appointed cabin - one almost forgets that it is a powerful 3.7L V6 4WD vehicle that won't let you down in heavy weather, over moderate terrain, and easily managed load capabilities. Love It!

What a great SUV
I did not buy this car for its gas mileage; I bought it for its great exterior. It handles like a suv is suppose to and I have loved owning this vehicle. Just remember that this is a jeep and jeeps are not known for gas sipping. I drive primarily city miles, but on the rare occasion I have needed the "muscle" that jeep is known for, Ive had it. I have a large dog that I like to take to the dog park, but Im also one of those people who like to keep my car really clean. The interior of this vehicle is outstanding! I can take my dog to the park and not have to worry if he is going to damage my car's interior. This suv is the perfect balance of masculinity and femininity; absolutely awesome!
So far so good
I previously owned a Chrysler PT Cruiser. Living in the upper Midwest I want a 4WD, taller truck-based SUV. My cruiser was just getting beat up during winter because it sits low. So far I enjoy the Liberty. The ride is smooth and comfortable. Cons-I live in a pretty windy area and compared to my cruiser or other vehicles I have driven, I notice the wind noise is rather loud when all windows are closed. I have to turn the radio up pretty high, just for me personally the outside noise can be a bit annoying.
Awsome mid-size suv
This is the second Jeep Liberty I have owned. I traded in a 2009 Nissan Altima for this Jeep Liberty. I love how comfortable the Liberty is for a tall person. The Liberty sport comes with all the options you could ever want. The ride is really nice, seats are comfortable. For those people who write bad reviews about the liberty have no clue what they are talking about...... 1. Gas millage is around 18 which is what you expect for an suv. 2. You can't compare a Liberty to a car.....If you want the ride of a car and gas millage of a car BUY A CAR. I wanted something that pull a boat and not be the size of a huge truck. The Liberty is it. I highly recommend the Liberty to anyone
The best car I’ve ever owned
Very pretty, although small SUV compared to many, I expected better mileage around town. Great on freeway but not so good otherwise. Purchased 9/2011 with 10k miles in Cincinnati area.

Its a Jeep
I just purchased The liberty about a week ago and i have mixed feelings about it. I was in The market for a small SUV and came across the liberty. I test drove the patriot but it lacked power. The Liberty is a smooth comfortable ride. The vehicle handles great on snow covered roads and that was one of the major reasons i purchased it. i have averaged about 20mpg mostly highway at this point but i expect that to go up once its broken in. Coming from a civic this is alot different and feels like you are driving a truck. the U-connect is a awesome feature that allows you to have bluetooth and ipod integration. Got a great deal on it but you have to shop around.
DISREGARD EDMUNS REVIEW OF 2010 JEEP LIBERTY!
The 2010 Jeep Liberty is a well built SUV. The gauge displays are easily seen and the controls are ergonomically well designed. It drives well on the roads whether on a highway or side roads. The Edmunds reviewer of this SUV is contradictorycwhen he says the 6 cylinder engine is sluggish and at the same time says that it can haul 10,000 pound trailer loads. It has comfortable seats in front and back. However the center seat in the back has a dual cup holder in front which forces the passenger to spread their legs around in a bit. It gives a very comfortable ride on the road with a great suspension and shocks. I highly recommend the 2010 Jeep Liberty to others.
So Disappointed
I traded my 2004 Jeep Cherokee for my new 2010 Jeep Liberty hoping for better gas mileage. The back hatch sensor has been replaced, the hood sensor has been replaced which caused the remote car start to fail. And now at 42,000 miles my heat and a/c is stuck on defrost even when the a/c and heat is completely shut off. The "auto" light position on the headlights is broke now (after warranty is up of course) and the dash reads "Low Spare Tire" which I've had checked numerous times and the spare is not low. So that sensor is faulty. I'm told the computer software needs to be updated, but can't afford to take into a dealer.
Extremely nice SUV for the money
Purchased my 2010 Sport used 3 years ago. It had 66K original miles on it, now 104K. The 3.7L out performs my 2011 Wrangler 3.8L in torque and acceleration. It handles extremely well in all conditions, especially snow. The MPG is off for it's size but I knew that going in. And on the highway, is surprisingly quiet. I've read the bad luck stories as I have with any model. If you need 4x4, with plenty of space for normal driving, find 1 and drive it. You might be as pleased as I am and not spend $20K +. PS compare the rear seat leg room with any competitor. You will be surprised.
Lemon
Bought the Liberty, in Sept and its been in the shop 8 times since then. The speed sensors were replaced, gauge cluster, both sets of keys and key fobs. The the alarm keeps going off because the key fobs don't work, the eco light is off and won't come back on, the mileage won't read on the gauge cluster it just says no fuse, the abs, traction control and service engine light keeps coming on still. This is my 3rd Liberty never had a problem before, but come on this one has 2100 miles (most of it from driving from MI to NC 1,109 miles)on it and Chrysler has done nothing to make it better, not even a loaner car they just tell me to bring it to my local dealership. So buyer beware of the Lemon!
2010 JEEP LIBERTY
We bought this Jeep libert new, off of the show room floor. I have a 2005 Rocky mt eduction with 40k miles and had no problems with it. So when my wife wanted a suv we choose another liberty. The engine light keeps coming on for a thermostat problem the dealer reset it and said they don't know why it came on. It came on the next day again. They reset it again. That night the light came on again, my wife called again so we are off to Jeep again, maybe they will look it this time and try to fix it, not just clear the fault. Her gas mileage is terrible. It is so bad she got under the truck and checked for a gas leak.
I love it!
We just took delivery of the car yesterday, so I can't address the reliability issues people state, but I know people that have the car and have had no problems. My husband's lease was up on his '07 Grand Cherokee, which was our third Jeep, all with no problems. I convinced him to get the Liberty for me, and I'm thrilled with it! I'm a nurse and I have to get to work, regardless of the weather, and the Jeeps have never let us down. They go through everything! And I'm sure this one will too. The car pros and Consumer Reports all give these cars a bad rap, but since having a Jeep in the family since 1997 and never having a problem, I don't know where they get their information from.
My First Jeep
This is my first Jeep, and I have to say that beyond the shadow of a doubt my favorite vehicle so far. I feel tall in it and in power when driving. The Liberty has contrary to belief an extremely refined ride for a truck that is a true offroader. The materials feel great and the center console is easy on the eyes and very easy to use w/o having to stare at them while driving. fuel economy is great in my opinion, i don't own a Honda or Toyota I own a true to the bone truck therefore i pay for it. However, some of the features included in some of these new vehicles are not included in the Liberty, such as a tiptronic transmission with more than 4 speed, color lcd in dash found in audi,vw, cadi
Short Time Owner
We've had this vehicle several weeks now and love it. Don't believe 'expert' reviews - look at one and drive it yourself. I came very close to passing this vehicle up based on expert reviews, but I'm glad I reconsidered and drove one. An excellent, solid, quiet well built vehicle
My 6th Jeep
Drives me crazy when the "experts" keep comparing the Liberty to car based SUVs like CR-V or RAV4. It's a truck based vehicle. This is my 6th Jeep and 3rd Liberty. This model is by far the best of them all. Gas mileage is adequate for a truck, it looks great and is a solid ride. I don't know who writes in to these reviews but I've never had quality issues with any of my Jeeps. I wouldn't drive anything else. You want church quiet, buy a car. A jeep is what it is and those of us that have owned them for years know that. Great vehicles.
Still goin' strong!!
My 2010 Liberty is now almost 13 years old with 220,000 kms, still runs and drives great!

Jeep 4 Me
First off, let me say that I am really impressed with this Jeep and I do not regret buying it. I wanted a basic four-wheel drive vehicle with true off- road and towing ability and the Liberty fits the bill. I love the ride height, the driving position, the AUX plug-in and the rear seat room. It is a lot bigger on the inside than you would think. I can handle the lack of cruise control, the so-so fuel economy and not having tinted windows or a roof rack. What I do not like is the light gray inserts on the seats (stain magnets) and the cheap hinge on the center console. That is gonna need a fix in the future I'm sure. So far reliability has been excellent.
New jeep owner very satisfied
I have only owned this vehicle for a few days but to tell you the truth I absolutely love this jeep. This is not my first jeep and I have never had any serious issues, I don't believe I will either. The new jeep liberty feels very good with on road manners to brag about. I feel a lot of these reviews are based off other vehicles and compared to my 500hp turbo diesel this truck is a dream. It is very smooth and the seats are so comfortable. I feel the interior is made pretty well considering its not a 50,000 dollar suv. It is a little noisy but then again it's really quiet compared to my old truck. I feel that I got what I paid for and don't think I would have been as happy with anything else
Towed 3 times in 6 months!
I have the 2010 Jeep Liberty Sport with the full slider window. It's a gorgeous vehicle however I have had to have it towed 3 times in 6 months for various things involving the "on board computer". I now don't want to drive it anywhere for fear it won't start! Each time the dealer has told me that what goes wrong "can't be fixed in the field" so it had to be towed. I'm ready to turn it in! :(
Thought it would be better
I downsized from a f150 4x4 5.7l v8 to my jeep liberty. Believe it or not... I was getting better fuel mileage in my truck... I am not impressed with the Jeep Liberty at all and if I could go back I would. I have had it for 10 months and feel it was the worst decision I have ever made. I highly regret not researching this vehicle before buying it. It looks very good, but it is not at all. Wish someone would steal it so I can get my truck back.... That is how much I honestly hate it. ive worked at a car lot and I know a lot about cars guess I just jumped the gun on this one bc the price sounded nice. I guess that is what I get, should have known better.
Worst Jeep I have Ever Owned
I have owned 3 Jeep SUV's. I bought this in 2010 with 15k on the odometer. After a few months, The entire steering system had to replaced. Tire pressure monitors on all 4 tires had to replaced within a few years. After 3 years the transmission started skipping. At the 5 year mark,at about 75k miles, the pinion and bearing went bad, resulting in the entire rear end needing to be rebuilt. The widshield washer system broke, and then the rear hatch door latch went bad. Then the license plate lights started blinking on and off. All in all in 6 years I spent about $5k in repairs, and things just keep breaking. It is a total piece of junk. I will never ever buy another Jeep. I will go back to Nissan or Toyota, of which I have owned 2 of each, and none of them ever gave me any trouble with almost 200k miles on them. The Liberty was the absolute worst vehicle purchase that I have ever made.

Hate It
This is my second Jeep and because of all the headaches of this one, I can't say I ever want to buy another one again! The gears give me problems, the clock is constantly losing time (although it's been repaired), the driver's floor vents are directed at the wall and not at my feet, and the list goes on! I'm now dealing with Corporate to get the car off my hands because I absolutely hate it!
You can tow an Xterra, for one thing
First things first - the Xterra is a certified piece of junk. In 2007 both me and a friend of mine bought off-road SUVs. He got an Xterra, I went for the Liberty. We have made two trips since then. I mean serious, serious off-road stuff. The Xterra's never made it back on its own. The Liberty has been literally indestructible. Funny, but this spring it was stoled, while my friend sold the Xterra. Now I got a shiny new Liberty. They say the interior ain't sexy. maybe, but what counts is its robust body, good mechanics. This one is the true SUV, true to its core.
My 2nd Jeep Product
I traded my 1999 Cherokee 4x4 Sport for the 2010 Liberty 4x4 Sport. I like the looks of this vehicle. So far so good. Have a small water leak in the rear that's annoying and hopefully will have that corrected soon. Vehicle feels solid on the road. I am happy with the Liberty.
lemon
Bought the car 7 months ago with 7200 miles on it. It's been in the shop 9 times already. There is a unfixable shake in the body that cant be fixed and a few other things. Dunning Motor Sale Cambridge,Oh cant fix anything and Daimler Chrysler dont no what to do. This is my first Chrysler product and the last. Very disapointed it the vehicle and Chrysler.Warning DO NOT BUY.

Lovin' a jeep who knew!
Ok, I just got my liberty. So, this is early to really give a honest review. But I have to say wow! Went from charger which are great to a jeep. I really like the comfort. The look and interior features. I am satisfied after looking at all makes and models. I have 2 people who are going to purchase one this year. Please look and drive, you wont believe your eyes. Yark automotive was very easy to work with and helpful. oh if you do run into problems jeep/dodge will fix whatever needs to be fixed for sure. If anything.
Happy So Far
Traded my 1999 Durango that I bought new. Only had 87,000 on it, but I new issues were coming. Have a 2009 Suzuki SX4 Crossover that we LOVE. Looked at the GV and the Equator double cab. Wouldn't budge enough on price. Checked Subaru and Toyota. Was getting tough to find a mid-sized, affordable TRUCK-LIKE SUV, like my Durango was. Have never looked at or considered Jeep before. The front seats are VERY comfortable. Love the driving position. Sits up, great view, and is a "commanding" position. Nice 2nd row space and cargo space. Back seats fold flat, and lock! Engine seems a little loud. But this is their tried and true Jeep engine so we'll see. But so far, very happy with it.
Causes lots of good stares
well, it does live up to the JEEP way of life. decent handling on the pavement for such a rugged SUV
2nd Jeep!!
LOVE IT LOVE IT!! I researched the heck outta this one, and I LOVE the new 2010 Liberty. I owned a 2000 Cherokee Sport, I was sad to trade her in but this Jeep is the best!! I love the new body style, previous year models are so lame and ultra old lady looking...the new grill face in the front is to doe for!! Excited to take it 4x4, camping, snowboarding (this weekend) and all the other fun things...definitely worth the $$
Get Home Safe
I bought this vehicle in January of this year, it wasn't my first choice but it was the right choice. I went back and forth of this vehicle because I do a lot of driving and the fuel economy wasn't great I have driven Subarus prior to my Jeep because they blend fuel economy with AWD safety, but a month after I bought the Jeep me and a few friends went up to the mountains on a ski trip for the weekend and got caught in a pretty bad blizzard with more then a foot of snow on the ground already cars were starting to pull to the side of the road or rather getting stuck on the way to the side of the road. My Jeep plowed through the snow with little effort. I am a Jeep owner for life now
Love it
Had a 2007 Jeep Liberty hated it. Feel in love with the 2009 Jeep Liberty. Got one about 4 months ago am so happy with it. Had several people tell me how much they like it. So, all I have to say I love my 2009 Jeep Liberty. So much more room in it and bigger. Truly do love it.
(O!!!!!O)
Well I never owned a Jeep but considered because of the outdoor activities I do. The Jeep Liberty 2010 is the perfect ride for me! I am in Management and do some company traveling and the Jeep Liberty has the classy appearance for my rep! Although after work, I hunt, or fish off the beach and haul moto-cross and 4- wheelers so the ruggedness and off- road capabilities are there!!! Classy on the outside, all Jeep underneath!! The back road travels use to feel like I was busting my old car apart!!! Not any more!!
Give it an A+
2010 bought brand new March 2010. 98000 miles. Tires. Radiator flush. Front wheel bearings. Believe it or not….no brake work. It’s been a great one until a deer got in the way.
Cool looking 4x4
I like the look and ride of the new jeep liberty. I would of not even looked at the old style liberty. I have only had the liberty for about 4 weeks, but have had fun driving it. Plenty of room and well worth the price.
Jeep Liberty Limited
We replaced our 2008 Commander with this Liberty. The Command Trac 4 wheel drive makes it up our driveway. Unlike the Commander or Audi Q7 could. The vehicle drives good. We do not pay for fuel, so this is not a problem. The Uconnect works great. With all the options and off road features, the Liberty is hard to pass up. A lot of people and companies love to pass it off as being slow, outdated or just not as good as the Toyota or Honda. Well, these people would have another opinion when they had to walk up their 250 foot driveway when the others could not make it.
There's Only one Jeep
I have a 21-year-old Cherokee, a 5-year- old Liberty and a brand-new 2010 Jeep Liberty. I love all three. They are the only Jeeps I have ever owned but I am a 4WD convert (live in Maine and hate shoveling snow). The 05 Liberty is a dream with 56,000 miles and no problems in the 2 years I've had it. The new Liberty had some minor adjustment to be made, the dealer was great, and we love it. It is an incredibly smooth ride and a good- handling vehicle. Mileage is not good but who cares? The Jeep engines last a long time. I had a Saturn that exploded at 105,000 but the old Jeep has 160,000 and is still going despite some abuse. Great vehicles. Don't believe the bad reports that Ford writes.
A good Decision
The car definitely performs better on bumpy roads and offroad than paved roads. Long driving hours could be a little bit annoying but tolerable. The interior is very roomy and alot better than older models. I loved the arm rest space and the multifunction steering wheel. The on display parking assist visual aid and computer trip in dashboard seemed very appealing. I have no general complains from the car, but it can be a little squeaky on a bumpy ride.
Bailout Buggy
Two months old and it's been in the shop five times and is still broken. I had reservations about buying this government bailout buggy; now i realize my mistake. This will be the last Chrysler product I ever purchase. That being said, the Liberty is one of the last few real SUV type vehicles being made. At least it's not a car with a lift kit as are most SUVs today. I see myself enjoying the vehicle more once (or if) it's ever fixed correctly.
My 6th Jeep !!
Waited for this one. They got it right. Comfortable seats with thigh support. Excellent visibility. Super Selec-trac transmission. Very proud to own this vehicle!
Give me Liberty

Money pit
What a can of junk???? Think a can with junk in it holds more value than this Piece of scrap. Bought year ago 160k miles. 2weeks later front differential blows out, fix that, next week after getting it home had lifter tappy tappy, paid to fix that, but guess what they only changed 1! Only 1 lifter $1200 😑 couple months go by blend door failed and I got the lifter knock again. Brought it in underneath parts and labor warranty but since it wasn’t the 1! Fkin lifter they replaced $1200 again for another lifter when they were told to change them ALL! .... I tried selling it for way under what I have into it and what’s it’s fkin worth but can’t get a bite on it for $2000... it’s clean no rust, has new ball joints control arms wheel bearings u joints tierods inner-outter... basically if there’s a nut or bolt on this thing it’s been spun once or twice. Over $8900 in repairs in 1 yr on a $4000 vehicle. I thought s&@t would work it’s self out eventually but I want out. Buying Toyota now.

The Worst Car Ever
Bought the car 2 months ago. It's been in the shop 5 times already. The heat stops working every time. Customer service is terrible. Corporate is unavailable. The car was a waste of money. Daimler Chrysler will not do anything for me. They should take the car back because that is the right thing to do. Daimler Chrysler said that they wouldn't. This car is unsafe and unreliable. Nobody should purchase one if they don't want the burden of a really bad headache.
