Used 2011 Jeep Liberty SUV Consumer Reviews
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....

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.
