Great for mods and muddling. PLUS daily commuting

The 08 KK or Liberty is an amazing off road and highway vehicle. Gas mileage could be better but everything else about the car makes up for it added a lift to mine along with some all terrains and got some hood decals. This car can be made to look badass if needed. Definitely one of the most underrated Jeeps

I have only had it for a week and so far so good

I will have to get the heating fixed but otherwise it is not bad. I will see how it goes but I am hoping it will go well.

A very reliable car!

Very easy on gas and extremely dependable. A very comfortable ride! Will be easy to take care of it. A smooth ride. The dealer made sure everything was working before we took it off of the lot. Gary H

Love its masculine look

First time jeep owner. I was attracted to the Liberty for its rugged masculine looks. But soon fell in love with its stable ride and handling. I've averaged about 20mph even in cold winter driving with the 4 wheel engaged. Feel safe on the road .

They need to recall the 3.7l Jeep Liberty engine

So I thought I was buying a great Jeep more like a heep less then 80k and the motor drops a valve I looked into this online to see if it was a problem and holy every 3.7 and 4.7 are crap and need to run on 94octaine gas for lower gas temperature in the combustion chamber and use 10-w30 oil not 5w30 or whatever the dealership puts in I feel ripped off and I’m happily driving my 1980 Chevy short box with a 350 v8 Holley 750cc 4 barrel carb and great a lil better gas mileage smoother ride just not a 4x4 mmmm I should have put the money into making my truck 4x4 and still would have had money left over

One constant headache , once mil exceeded 100 K

Long time Jeep buyer, but this one finally changed my mind. One constant problem after another. Now I'm a Honda fan , driving a CR-V.

This was my first car and it was the BEST!

This car definitely fit all of my needs. It is reliable and safe. I got this car when I was 16 and would recommend it to anyone for their 16 year old.

First Jeep, never going back

From the moment first turned the key I knew I was going to be all about this Liberty. It was so smooth and solid feeling. Mine has 125k on it and I am the 3rd owner. Still feels very new.
