Purchased As Not Purchased

this is not the real selec trac anymore. it does not have the part time 4wd to go with the full time 4wd. much better traction with it. without this feature it does not work as well. they had it in the 2008 but took it away in 2009. you were able to go from full time to part time and low 4wd but no more. i hope they put it back. no more grab handles in the front. its a 4 wheeler, it needs them. to much plastic. nothing is soft to the touch. needs more power ,PLEASE. LOW GAS MILEAGE. full size spare tire should not be an option. spare tire is underneath. can get very messy getting it. lift gate is very heavy. i test drove this liberty several times. i dont like it as well as my 2004. my liberty has style to it. it is not so square looking. it is a nice jeep but to many changes were made that i dont like. i would consider buying one again but they would have to put the selec trac back to the way it was when you could go from full time to part time and then low 4wd when needed. dont forget the grab handles. thankyou....read morehide

Pros

Comfortable, powerful, tough

Cons

Gas mileage isn't all that great

Purchased As New

I love my Jeep. Love it. I can haul big objects, I can fit myself, 4 passengers and two giant dogs and go on a road trip in comfort!

I haven't been into the mechanic yet, but I've only put 4,000 miles on it so far, so it will go in for it's 6,000 miles maintenance soon.

I haven't done any off-roading yet, but with a jeep as beautiful as the one I have, I'm not sure I want to chance breaking anything so I might just keep it on the regular and dirt roads. =)

Handles incredibly for an SUV, wouldn't even be able to tell it has a high tip percentage. I have taken corners pretty fast to get where I was going and it didn't even feel maxed out.

Overall, great vehicle! I recommend to anyone who needs a great SUV....read morehide

Pros

I like the looks, and so far everything as worked fine.

Cons

Gas mileage, and sometimes the transmission hunts for gears when going up hills.

Purchased As New

Just came back from a 5,000 mile trip, the Jeep ran without a flaw. I averaged 20 miles per gallon doing 80 with cruise on.

It was a comfortable ride in many terrains, I like the way the jeep looks and handles. I would buy another, and after the trip I am not so worried about the reliabilty of the vehicle....read morehide

Pros

Stylish, Reliable

Cons

Problems with power windows, could use more space in back

Purchased As New

I drove a 2006 Liberty for three years before I traded it in for a Jeep Patriot (mostly because I missed the Cherokees and the Patriots had that "Cherokee" look). The main problem we had were with the power windows. Apparently, Chrysler's windows were too heavy for the design of the regulators and, as a result, the power windows kept going out, eventually getting to a point where the glass would simply fall down into the door frame. Chrysler, to their credit, did fix it under warranty at 44000 miles, but they were not going to issue a recall because they did not consider it a safety hazard, even though there were many other complaints about the windows in the Liberty (apparently a recall would have made Chrysler engineers redesign the whole thing, and they weren't gonna do that). Other than the window issue, I loved my Liberty. Hopefully Chrysler has fixed the situation with the newer Liberty. Overall, it's a good vehicle, good power, tight turn radius for parking in small spaces, and hey, it's a Jeep!...read morehide

Cons

Needs better mpg

Purchased As New

On long trips -- seats become uncomfortable. could be better on fuel economy, over not a bad SUV

Pros

The ride is pretty smooth

Cons

gas mileage could be better

Purchased As New

This is a great car (SUV). It handles well and it's so fun. I am so enjoying it and glad I made the purchase. The maintenance is inexpensive and the gas mileage is so so but other than that it is a great smaller SUV.

Pros

smooth ride, good mileage, quiet

Cons

none

Purchased As New

Bought this suv to cross the country twice a year from the east coast to Utah (skiing) have had the vehicle in all kinds of weather from major snow in the mountains to clear interstate highways - it is excellent in all conditions - it could use a bit smoother transmission but other than that - a most excellent choice for a vehicle...read morehide

Great power form theV-6 engine. We love the style of the Liberty. Plenty of room and handles great on the road.

Not a lot of unnessary bell and whistles. It is a great family vehice.

Very well constructed.

The price, the look, the performance and the overall reliability. I purchased a 2008 last year and would recommend this vehicle to anyone who wants a nice look for less.
