"They Jeep is the toughest vehicle that I ever owned. My daughter had a accident roll over in one without a scratch. My wife was rear-ended, the other car was heavily damaged, the Jeep had on damage(the spare tire absorbed the impact) It is powerful enough in town, but the mileage is poor. Tough as nails."

"Bought new and loaded. Actually really liked it's compact size and handsome style. All was well under warranty and then ... wham. Have followed the recommended maintenance schedule precisely and now have 100k. Since warranty expired have had to replace transmission, power steering pump, A/C blower motor, power mirror motor, and numerous other inexpensive but nevertheless quality related parts and repairs. Please understand that I do not consider replacing brakes pads & rotors, tires, and so on as quality issues but rather consider normal costs of car ownership. My issue with Chrysler Jeep is Quality ... or lack there of. Have been buying Jeeps for 30 years. No more Jeeps or Chrysler products ever again. Done for my lifetime."

"Original equipment should be included with every used vehicle - if not, it does not even come close to "excellent" condition... Be careful and review what should be included before you make a purchase."

"Had vehicle one day, it has been recalled for safety issue. Chrysler-Dahlmler has not notified. I like exterior design and 4x4. Handling and comfort could be less like a truck, i.e.- Too stiff a suspension and driver's left foot has no comfortable resting position ( much like sitting at a dinner table). Vehicle's interior stains with mere touch of any liquid and is extremely, if not impossible, to remove including water from opening door to rain. I am fearful of lowering window because of window regulator reported issues. Powertrain has ample acceleration for western PA. terrain but lacks MPG which is associated with manufacturers claims, i.e.- 18 MPG city. Lucky to get 14 and I don't drive in the city or have a "hot foot". Jeep liberty is not a truck, and most buyers are not looking for a truck. Exterior is an A, interior a C-. Handling and performance a B+ and fuel economy a D-. As far as manufacturer concern for reliability a D."

"I really love my Liberty but wish it was getting better Gas milage. I also have a 1998 Grand Cherokee Laredo that I have owned for the passed 10 years with over 200K miles on it and it gets better gas milage then the Liberty."

"I absolutely loved this vehicle! I have owned in for 4 years. However, I bought it pre husband, babies and dogs...It fit me perfectly, always reliable, great in winter or off road but is WAY too small for a family! Small backseat is almost impossible for car seats."

"I bought this Jeep Libert new in 2005 I have never had any big problems with the drivetrain I have just under 100000 miles on it and she just keeps humming along. In MN this year we had a snow storm that droped 18" and the 4 wheel drive worked awesome I drove 22 miles to work in 10" of snow and drove my co-workers home that night ( they had to leave there cars at work they were snowed in ) What I dont like about it the engin seem a bit under powerd for me but then agin you cant get one with a V8 ( man that would be cool ) so over all I'm vary happy with my small SUV Jeep Liberty."
