Love this thing!!
Best car I have owned. I recently moved into a mountain home, and needed to trade in the city car for a 4x4. This car has not failed me in the mud, snow, or steep mountain roads yet! Would suggest to anyone.
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.

2011 KK Limited
I traded in my 02 Liberty Sport and took advantage of Jeep's year end incentives. I bought the Limited version and couldn't be more pleased. Loved my 02 with 135k miles (engine still going strong) and felt right at home in this one. This vehicle is one that I can drive with confidence off road and on pavement, the vehicle is built to last, it's a tank! It gets excellent NTHSA ratings. I'm not sure which version the reviewer took out, but I don't find the engine to be unresponsive. Perhaps compared to a sedan or even a plush wanna be SUV crossover vehicle it may be. What a pleasure to drive, so comfortable! It's a Jeep, not sure what you would expect? Not a wanna be SUV, its the real deal!
Love my Jeep Liberty Jet!
Bought my Jeep Liberty Jet last month. I must say I am very please with my purchace! The interior is much more comfortable than my A4 I traded in on the jeep. Leather is very good quality along with the Infinity sound system. The ride quality is excellent again much better than my 06 A4. Exterior is great I love the Jet package with Chrome accents, Black out head lights, and 20" wheels! My dealer has been very good to me throughout the buying process even giving me 2 free fill ups and 4 free oil changes, because of a grease print a detailer left on the roof liner in the interior when they were cleaning (which they removed). Starting to feel a Miss at high speeds will be taking it tomorrow.
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.
2011 - 70th Anniversary Jeep Liberty
Love my Jeep! I have nothing but positive things to say about the Jeep Liberty KK! Look, this vehicle is a true SUV, so please stop comparing it to crossover vehicles! It's a rear wheel drive based 4x4 that can tow 5,000 lbs. It is square-shaped, it's truck-like, and that's what I like about it! It is really too bad real SUV's are going extinct. My 70th Anniversary Liberty has the 18" wheels, which are remarkably smooth on pavement. I actually like the 3.7 V6. It is a truck motor with decent torque and it powers the 2011 Liberty just fine (even pulling a trailer). Use the ECO Mode when driving to help with MPG. **2017 update - Love My Jeep even more, now that I've installed Atturo brand all-terrain tires (P235/60R-18). I plan on keeping this vehicle for a long time, since there are no rear wheel drive small SUVs anymore. (Wranglers are not practical for a family of 4) **2021 update- still rocking the Jeep! **2022 update- still rocking the Jeep! **2024 update- still rocking the Jeep! **2025 update- still rocking the Jeep!

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.
Contemporary Jeep
This jeep is amazing I bought it used with 40,000 Miles and have had no issues. The seats are comfortable, the radio is big and bight (touchscreen) . The engine sounds great. I keep up regularly with the oil changes and rides smooth in the rain. The vehicle is large but not to large to park or drive me being a short women my self. I did replace the tires and add step stair or side. Overall great value and looks great driving. Absolutely my favorite vehicle. Also great space in the back for groceries, can even fit a bike when you put down the seats if need be.

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!

good suv
i have owned this liberty for about 3 years bought it used with about 37000 miles on it . live in a snow belt area so we get dumped on really good . never got stuck at all . it holds the road like you would not believe . has the power to get around people on the hiway . would really not say it floats down the road for a smooth ride but it is better than some . mpg isn’t to bad . maintance is low . just keep on the basic maintance and this will last a very long time

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!

It's a Jeep. Realize that and you'll love it.
My first Jeep & it's everything I expected. Only have had it three weeks - about 800 miles. Gas mileage is 15-16 mix -stop and go and highway- Don't consider that bad for a 6 cylinder Jeep that weighs 4000 lbs. The interior is comfortable, not luxurious; it's a Jeep. Love the exterior & the Blackberry is a great color. Yes it's a tad slow from a deadstop, but passing ability is great and it feels like a solid vehicle. Great in snow. Slight body lean, but it's a Jeep. Technology is good. Like the new "ECO" mode, keeps you aware of how you're driving. So far no performance or other issues. It's fun to drive, has plenty of room & looks cool. I'm happy I bought 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.

Great Jeep
I bought a 2011 white Liberty Limited in December of 2010. This is my 3rd Jeep, my last two jeep vehicles that I owned were a 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited and a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo loaded with all the extras. I was a bit worried about quality not buying another Grand Cherokee but the dealer gave me such a good deal on this liberty I could not pass it up. Over 4 months of owning it and I love it! The 18 inch chrome wheels make the white stand out. I got the model with the dark brown interior and the black dash panels along with a light headliner combo, Jeep really did the color combination in this car right. As far as the mechanics go, the engine runs smooth; the transmission shifts smooth, the command track II 4 wheel drive works great just have to remember to turn it off when you get to dry pavement; the system performs like a diff locker so it does not do well with turns on a none slick surface. The Jeep I think has a lot of power for a V6 its never going to be a race car but it gets the job done. I am so happy once again with my purchase that I will be buying another Jeep in the future.
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.
My 70 Edition Liberty
This was the best value for the Dollar in a 4X4. I have had it for 90 Days and love every minute with it. The fuel economy has been 18MPG overall for 4000 Miles. Not bad for 4 Wheel drive.
Wow! a Jeep!
I love driving this Jeep. i drive it everyday. it drives in awesome in the snow an ice its really good off road. its really good to drive in the city its small enough to fit in a parking spot that is hard to get to. makes turns easy.

Exceptional Jeep 2011 Liberty Limited 4X2
The 2011 Jeep Liberty Limited 4X2 is an impressive vehicle. Drives securely on any road surface. Even though I have the Limited model, the dash surfaces could have been designed with better quality materials, but even though the dash and door panels are of hard plastic, they are easy to clean. The only big negative I have is the “Poor” MPG as most owners will attest to. Additionally, the engine is a bit sluggish when you want to pass others on the highway and freeway. If you plan on buying a used Jeep Liberty from a private party, be sure the current owner has performed regular service on the automatic transmission every 20K-30K miles as well as regular oil and filter changes every 3K miles. Also, make sure regular cooling system service was performed and tune-ups. If the current owner cannot provide documents of past service history of this vehicle, WALK AWAY!

Engine Issues Galore!
I purchased my Jeep Liberty certified pre-owned. It had roughly 60k miles on it. It now has 105k miles on and my extended 7year/100k mile warranty JUST expired. What a perfect time to need a new engine, right?? The check engine light came on and it's throwing a p0303 code (whichever code is for cylinder 2 misfiring). I still owe quite a bit of money on it and these depreciated SO badly that I'm in a financial nightmare right now. I mean, why can't I get 150k out of this vehicle? I feel like I've been ripped off. I'm looking at a very large bill to either replace or rebuild the engine and I've had it for less than 2 years. The crazy thing is that I have truly enjoyed this Jeep and love the look and feel of it. The radio is a piece of junk.. The clock slowly gets behind about a minute every 3 or 4 days. Took to a Jeep dealer and they replaced it. Still does the same thing.. I was really looking forward to possibly upgrading to a Jeep Wrangler unlimited for my next car in a year or two but now it looks like I'm either never buying another Jeep or not for a while. Thanks Jeep....

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.
more chrysler garbage
replaced rear shocks at 40k, heater core at 50k,two coils,rear hatch window leaks setting off alarm,engine knock from day one dealer says normal lol,underpowered 3.7 ancient motor.horrible gas mileage. biggest piece of garbage i ever owned,couldnt pay me to buy another jeep or chrysler product

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
Still goin' strong!!
My 2010 Liberty is now almost 13 years old with 220,000 kms, still runs and drives great!

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.
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
Pitiful excuse for an SUV
Stay very far away from this horrid vehicle. I know this is a body on frame vehicle and isn't supposed to ride like a Bentley. With that in mind, the ride of the Jeep Liberty is horrible. Every little bump in the road is felt and big bumps toss it all over the road. Again, I know this isn't a handling-focused vehicle, but the handling is downright dangerous. My wife has the Jet edition which has the 20" wheels and it makes the ride even worse. The motor absolutely hates to rev past 2500 rpm. The transmission had to be entirely replaced before 100k miles even though it was very well maintained and not driven hard at all. The infotainment system also had to be entirely replaced before 100k miles. The motor is surprisingly reliable but that doesn't make it a good. I have never driven a vehicle that hates accelerating more than the KK Liberty. Its hilarious that Jeep approved this vehicle for production. MPG is bad but that would be forgivable if the rest of the vehicle was good. Oh, the driver seat also had to be reupholstered before 100k miles. Pitiful. Stay far away from this hunk of trash.

Love this car. Hate the Rust.
I purchased my 2011 Jeep liberty Renegade last march. I was completely in love with it. In the summer I get about 20MPG and in the winter I get 16-17MPG Hands down the best winter vehicle I have ever owned. It is the perfect small SUV. I took it on a 24 hour road trip. With five passangers luggage space was a little tight, but the ride was comfortable. I Took it off roading in the big horn mountains, and had full expectations of getting stuck or breaking something if not everything. Much to my surprise it stood true to the name jeep, and afterwards I drove that car 14 hours home with out a stitch wrong. There are a few little kinks that were annoying. Despite the fact that it is a V6 it has NO POWER. Also if you sit in the back the doors are drafty. Despite my love for this vehicle I am currently seeking a new car. I have had this car for roughly a year. In that amount of time My oil pan rusted out, my gate is rusted shut, and my doors are rusting on the inside. I am incredibly frusterated a 7 year old vehicle with under 100k miles should not be rusting that fast. Its not cosmetic things that are rusting its the undercarriage. This is coming from somebody who washes their vehicle once a week at the truck wash, wipes it down with a cloth after, and hand waxes once a month. There is absolutely no reason it should be rusting like this. One last thing is it sucks to work on!! It took myself and 2 mechanics 12 hours to replace the oil pan due to its placment.

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.

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.

2011 Jeep Liberty struggles
I am the owner of a new Jeep Liberty Limited 4x4. This is my 5th Jeep. Coming from a 06 Jeep Liberty I am very pleased with the interior and roominess. The rear seats fold perfectly flat, so I can easily get my two mountain bikes inside. The roof rack is strong enough to carry my two kayaks on top. I also had to have a vechile that could be flat towed behind an RV. The command Trac II with a netural position allows this to be done. The poor side of this vechile is the engine and transmission. It has a feeling of a miss at highway speeds that the dealer can find no cure for and I am waiting for an answer from Jeep. Added to this is the poor fuel mileage. Getting about 16 mpg overall.
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.
