2005 Jeep Liberty Review: A Great Compact Adventure Vehicle, a Terrible Grocery-Getter

Feb 28, 2023

The 2005 Jeep Liberty is like every Jeep in that it’s an awesome adventure vehicle, and a terrible daily-driver. The interior is more cramped than some compact cars, the suspension is rough, and you’ll be taking it to the shop pretty often. But you can’t beat the Jeep’s off-road performance.

The Good

Fun to drive, powerful, rugged, and one of the best off-roaders on the market in any price range.

The Bad

The suspension is stiff, the seats are cramped, refueling and maintenance are expensive, and the SUV is outclassed by the competition in everything but outdoor exploration.

Is the 2005 Jeep Liberty a Good Used Car?

Overall Rating 7/10 – If you’re after a compact off-roader, call it an 8/10. If you’re after a daily-driver, it’s more like a 5/10.
Interior, Comfort & Cargo 6/10 – Cramped seats and stiff suspension make the Liberty a rough ride even by Jeep standards.
Reliability 6/10 – Your powertrain and engine will probably pass 200,000 miles, but all the regular maintenance and little repairs can be pretty expensive.
Safety 6/10 – The Liberty feels safe to drive, but safety technology is long outdated by now.
Gas Mileage 6/10 – A 2.8L diesel engine helps to cut gas costs down a bit, but the 2005 Liberty is a thirsty vehicle no matter how you split it.
Value 7/10 – The 2005 Jeep Liberty is one of the more affordable Jeeps on the market, but you’re never really getting a great deal on these SUVs when you look at what you’re spending on fuel and maintenance.

Positive Owner Reviews

Rain S

Spacious silver Jeep liberty.

It is spacious. I like that the seats go down in the back. I have to fill up with gas pretty often through, that is probably the only downside. It is not too big, so I do not feel like I ‘m driving a boat around. I have long legs and I have more than enough room in the driver’s seat.

Jacquelyne D

Jeep Runs Very Dependable

My Jeep has been exceptionally dependent. I have had to make very few repairs on my truck. If I could afford another one, I'd get the same model.

Joyce K

It is all wired for a computer. The color is white trimmed in gray.

My Jeep is very comfortable. It's the nicest vehicle I have owned. The gas mileage is average for a 6 cylinder engine. It has a hitch so I can pull boats or trailers. It's very roomy and has luggage rack on top. Spare tire goes on back hatch door. Back seats fold forward front seats lay back.

Rita L

It's a great car and I would recommend it anyone looking for an SUV

Love that it has part time 4 wheel drive, an awesome stereo system, and a sunroof. It's a great car and I love it!

P S

It is economical and safe. It has a sport look and the MPG is very good.

I like the looks the, the durability, the reliability, and the comfort of driving it.

Karen B

Like new SUV. Best vehicle ever.

Turns on a dime. Its a 2005 and have had no major problems. Drives excellent. Looks great, handles great. Has electric windows. Great site lines, no blind spots. Seats are very comfortable. Very reliable. Would not be afraid to drive it anywhere alone. Great tires that I've only had to replace once.

Laurie D

Jeep liberty is reliable and comfortable.

Although it is 14 years old, I have had very few problems with this vehicle. Reliable, comfortable, able to pack a lot of stuff in it! Windows have been a bit of a problem, but once fixed they've been fine. Would definitely buy another jeep when I need to get a new vehicle.

McKenzie H

That it is very easy to drive and would be the perfect car for a new driver or even a mom.

I love my Jeep. It is so easy to drive and is just the perfect size for me. I have never had any problems with it, it is very reliable.

Negative Owner Reviews

Samantha H

A fairly decent vehicle, as long as it's properly maintained routinely.

I have issues with my transmission. Normal wear and tear, it tends to be a little top heavy. I would most definitely recommend the jeep liberty for a first time car for probably a teenager. It seems to be safe and normally mechanically sound. I just believe that my jeep was routinely maintenance.

Daria G

My car is used to get me from point A to point B. I like Jeeps in general and always liked my car until it started having problems.

My vehicle is old and breaking down. I have had it for many years and am looking into getting a new car.

Doug Smith

Recalls and recalls.

I hate to say it but NO I would not recommend this vehicle. My sister and I both bought Jeep libertys the same year and everything. The vehicles have had so many recalls I could not believe it. Some of the recalls had to do with the ball joints front and rear. The ball joints failed on my Jeep and came completely out and when a ball joint comes apart like that the entire cheap sets down on top of the tire and wheel and you cannot control it so it destroyed a bunch of other things on the jeep also. The key actuator failed on both of them, power windows door locks, power steering pumps Etc. I got to a point that my sister was not financially able to keep up with the repairs on hers and I barely could keep mine afloat even though I was doing all the repairs. Sorry Jeep.

Jessica R

Gets your from A. To B. But wouldn't rave about it.

I guess it's a great vehicle, but mine particularly though had issues with wiring and a hole in the oil pan when I purchased it used. I don't take care of it like I should and hasn't completely broken down yet though so that's a plus. Not the most comfortable seats and not super spacious leg room but it gets the job done.

Cain T

My vehicle is old but gets me where I need to go

It has a good amount of engine problems, which is most likely due to its age. But although it does not have many miles on it so it shouldn't have this many engine problems. The steering is a little off because it pulls to the right often. Other than that it's a pretty good vehicle

DANA F

It hydroplanes making it feel unsafe on wet or icy roads, even with new tires

Fuel pump has gone out twice, the car is top heavy and hydroplanes, it has leaks in the windows and doors that make it noisy on highways, the AC isn't very strong and the zerks are noisy when turning

Jessica B

Jeep Libertys have poor gas mileage, uncomfortable seating & bad parts assembly.

Gas guzzler, front seats uncomfortable, ac vents cheaply made & they come out or plastic breaks, terrible configuration of window regulators and door lock/open & close assembly's -I've replaced 2, vehicle jostled by wind blowing underneath it, fast take off

Lexus M

The way to roll down the windows is in the middle console.

Old car, a/c went out, having a lot of problems with it recently like overheating. The windows do not work and it is just out of style.

What Do Critics Say About the 2005 Jeep Liberty?

Consumer Reports liked the efficient diesel powered engine option and they found the handling responsive. The full-time four-wheel earned some praise as well. Beyond that, they found the SUV overpriced, noisy, slow to accelerate, and uncomfortable.

Kelley Blue Book users were, predictably, far kinder to the 2005 Liberty, giving it a strong 85% recommendation. Drivers liked the onboard creature comforts like heated seats and leather interior, and they love the fun-driving feel of the SUV.

Edmunds had praise for the Jeep Liberty’s off-road performance, creative interior design, fuel-efficient diesel engine, and for the Liberty’s ability to blend crossover convenience with the classic Jeep feel. They were less enthused about the thirsty gasoline engine, unwieldy handling in the city, and limited cargo space.

What Common Problems Does the 2005 Jeep Liberty Have?

The 2005 Jeep Liberty has 1,110 complaints on file with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which is a bit high for an SUV, but normal for a Jeep. The biggest issue is in the suspension, with 257 complaints, mostly for lower ball joints giving out, despite 5 suspension recalls from 2006 to 2018.

A recall was issued in 2013 to address potential fires occurring after a rear impact. Drivers have reportedly been waiting on the replacement parts as recently as 2018. Make sure to check the VIN. If the recall wasn’t already taken care of, this isn’t a fix you want to be waiting on.

A number of drivers have reported that the vehicle may slip out of first gear at random. Drivers have also reported sudden unintended acceleration.

The 2005 Jeep Liberty has 8 recalls on file with the NHTSA, which is within reason for a vehicle of this age, but the fact that five of these recalls were for suspension, with complaints still rolling in years later, is worrying.

How Long Will the 2005 Jeep Liberty Last?

A well-kept Jeep Liberty should last at least 200,000 miles. You’ve no doubt read of Jeeps running more than 300,000, or 400,000, or even half a million miles. That’s not going to happen with a used model. Expect to reach a maximum mileage of 250,000.

RepairPal estimate an annual maintenance cost of around $674, with the most expensive common fix being a new heater core, starting at around $1,044. Jeeps tend to be high-maintenance as a rule, but the Liberty is cheaper to fix than some.

George S

The jeep liberty is very dependable, hardly any recalls on the SUV. Very roomy in the interior. Handles the roads like a champ!

Kenneth C

Reliable but needs better power steering and transmission work but overall drives well if kept up with properly.

Ashley F

The front end has had work done and seems like I have been putting money after money into the vehicle.

MARY ANN V

If it has problems I have them fixed. I have not experienced major problems with this vehicle and it has well over 200,000 miles.

Lisa P

Have had several problems over the past 10 years since I have had it. Luckily all fixable and car still running with 192,000 miles.

Dawn T

I would say it is reliable. I feel safe driving it and it is fairly easy to do quick fixes myself. The only big problem I had is that there was a design flaw where a brake line was installed too close to the steering column and it became punctured causing a dangerous brake leak unexpectedly. I later found out that was a recall.

Renee O

The Liberty is a very reliable vehicle. If I had any complaints I would tell you that Liberty's are notorious for having wiring issues. Beyond that I would absolutely recommend the Jeep Liberty to all my friends and family and even strangers.

Gels A

I think that our Jeep Liberty is very reliable. It's an older car and we haven't had any serious problems with it.

How Is the Technology?

Entertainment technology onboard the 2005 Jeep Liberty is good for 2005, though not as impressive as some of the larger SUVs on the market from this model year. The high-end models come with a 6-disc CD changer, and that’s about as high-tech as it gets.

Safety technology in the 2005 Jeep Liberty is decent. You’ve got an enhanced accident response system, and full airbags with occupant classification,

Is the 2005 Jeep Liberty a Good Value?

The 2005 Jeep Liberty is a good value, if you’re shopping for a weekend getaway vehicle. The entry-level Sport typically lists at around $4,323, and the high-end Limited lists at around $5,034. These are fair sticker prices for a 2005 SUV, it’s the refueling and maintenance that adds up.

The high cost of ownership means that, if you’re hoping to make this your daily driver, it’s going to be spending more time in the shop than it does in the driveway, and more time in the driveway than it does on the street. It’s a perfect adventure vehicle, but too expensive to drive as a grocery-getter.

What are the Different Models of the 2005 Jeep Liberty?

The 2005 Jeep Liberty is offered in three trim levels, from the base Sport to the high-end Limited.

With the entry-level Sport you’re getting:

Manual air conditioning
Power windows and door locks

With the mid-range Renegade you add:

Cloth/vinyl seating
Fog lights
Roof rack

What Engines Come In the 2005 Jeep Liberty?

The base engine in the 2005 Jeep Liberty is a 2.4L inline-four delivering 150 horsepower and 165 lb.-ft. of torque. The i4 averages 21/26 miles to the gallon, it’s paired to a 4-speed automatic transmission, and it’s configured in rear/four wheel drive.
Next up is a 2.8L turbo-diesel i4 delivering 160 horsepower and 295 lb.-ft. of torque and averaging 19/24 miles to the gallon. This is paired to a 4-speed automatic transmission and configured in rear/four wheel drive.
Available in the Limited edition is a 3.7L V6 delivering 210 horsepower and 295 lb.-ft. of torque. The V6 averages 15/20 miles to the gallon, it’s paired to a 4-speed automatic, and it’s configured in full-time four wheel drive.

What Colors Does the 2005 Jeep Liberty Come In?

How Comfortable Is the 2005 Jeep Liberty?

The 2005 Jeep Liberty isn’t very comfortable. Rear hip room is cramped at just 47.4 inches, which would be tight even for a compact car. The suspension is rugged, meaning rough on the posterior. And the shocks and struts might be shot, based on the five suspension recalls the SUV has on file.

With a Jeep, the tradeoff for a rough ride is that it handles mud, dirt, creeks, rocks, and tree stumps beautifully.

How Much Storage Space Does the 2005 Jeep Liberty Have?

The 2005 Jeep Liberty offers 29 cubic feet of storage space in the back, and you can more than double that to 69 cubic feet when you fold the seats down. Storage space here is a bit tight for the size class, but big enough to bring a full weekend of camping and fishing supplies with you.

What Are the Differences Between Years?

The 2005 Jeep Liberty is the fourth model year for the nameplate’s 1st Generation, which ran from 2002 to 2007.

2002: Jeep introduced the Liberty as a replacement for the Cherokee in 2002, debuting the SUV with rack and pinion steering, a pair of Power Tech engine, and independent front suspension.

2003: The suspension was lowered one inch for 2003, and the automatic transmission got an overhaul. Braking was improved for 2003 as well.

2004: New roof handles and tire pressure monitors were the biggest changes for 2004.

2005: 2005 was the debut year for the 2.8L diesel engine.

2006: Electronic stability control was made a standard feature in 2006, as were roll mitigation, traction control, and anti-lock brakes.

2007: Jeep dropped the Renegade trim in 2007, along with the 2.8L diesel engine.

How Does the 2005 Jeep Liberty Compare to the Competition?

The Ford Escape is less capable than the Jeep Liberty when it comes to off-roading, but it’s but it’s more fuel efficient, more comfortable, more reliable, and priced in about the same range.

2005’s Honda CR-V typically lists for about a thousand dollars more than a comparable Liberty, but it’s probably the best overall SUV in the size class. It’s far more likely to pass 250,000 miles, it’s efficient, low-maintenance, and versatile.

You could throw a dart at a list of compact SUVs and find something more fuel-efficient, more reliable, and more comfortable than a Jeep Liberty. But they’re not Jeeps. If you want a rugged adventure vehicle, a Jeep is hard to beat.

Do Owners Recommend the 2005 Jeep Liberty?

George S

Yes, very dependable. Handles bad weather with no problems. Downside is that it does not do well on gas.

Kenneth C

Yes, runs well if we'll kept, needs better power steering but overall pleased with getting around, great in bad weather.

Ashley F

Yes it seems to be reliable for my kids and I. Seems to rust very fast. On the bottom by the running boards.

MARY ANN V

It is a very good vehicle. I have owned it since day one and after 14 years it is very reliable. I do take care of it though.

Lisa P

It is a great car. Works really well in the snow, which is key living in the northeast. I couldn't survive without it.

Dawn T

I would say that the jeep liberty limited is a good vehicle. It runs fairly smoothly, especially for its age. The only drawback to this model (or jeep in general) is that it is not a fuel-efficient vehicle, but I do feel very safe driving it and I like sitting up high, so I can see what it going on in traffic.

Steven W

This Jeep Liberty has been an excellent vehicle for me and for my climate. I am able to get around even in the snow, the heat, the rain and so on. In addition the size of the liberty allows me to feel like I am driving a car rather than a large vehicle with the same attributes.

Ashley R

Yes. I love our Jeep Liberty. I feel very safe when I'm driving it. I think it's also very comfortable and we have a lot of space.

Maria L on March 31, 2021

Spacious Vehicle great for family of four & pet. Great storage space

Only complaint is the Passenger right signal light constantly out. It gets too hot never had a recall and it should have been. Also going up steep hills it's really slow you can have your foot all down has and everyone else is passing you. Besides this the car has been great had it 12 years and now looking to trade it in. As long as you keep the service maintenance you are set.

Hattie M on March 17, 2021

Jeep Liberty Limited Edition 2005

It has been reliable for the most part. I did have to get a new engine and the battery doesn't do well in the cold, but other than that I haven't had many problems.

Megan H on March 16, 2021

Since I live in Michigan, it's a great car for all weather. I enjoy the higher position of the car on the road and ability to drive in rain and snow safely. I like how short the cab and hood is too.

It's a great car for winter driving and comfort in all conditions.

Paul B on March 11, 2021

Efficient 4WD which means safer driving in poor conditions.

I like that it is 4WD and trail rated. Having been caught in a disaster zone they are attributes that you only appreciate when you don't have them. The wills get very d***y because of the door design which means your clothes get d***y.

Delaney B on March 7, 2021

It has great gas mileage.

I do not have any problems with my car. I love how smoothly it drives and can travel well over long distances. I go to school 750 miles away and I have driven back and forth many times and have never felt unsafe or had any automotive problems. The only negative is that there is no auxiliary cord to listen to music, but that is just a minor inconvenience.

Danny N on February 23, 2021

Best of all worlds: sporty, reliable, efficient and trustworthy.

I really love how it is a reliable car that has not given me any trouble for the last 13 years. It is also an efficient car and the design is unparalleled. I wish this model would return. It is extremely comfortable and quiet for a SUV. The fabric of the seats could be less heavy given that in the summer it gets really hot.

Savannah S on February 23, 2021

Navy blue four wheel drive jeep liberty.

Needs tires and a alignment. Needs a light cover for the right blinker. It's pretty reliable. It's been rebuilt twice. Its navy blue.. It's a bare minimum car. Probably not good for road trips until I get new tires. And the transmission slips sometimes..

Melissa T on February 19, 2021

2005 Jeep Liberty. Electric gas gauge

Leaks and burns oil and gas. Very comfortable otherwise. Drives off road well. Can still make long distances despite years and mileage. Comfortable seating and drives well. Electrical system sometimes faulty. High mileage, but handles well. Decent vehicle.

Brenda F on February 19, 2021

Window problem that had recalls

The only issue with my jeep is numerous recalls for the electric windows. The part is defective and after having it fixed (recall) within 6 months it was back to the same problem (window will not stay up). I refused to pay $150 to have it fixed. Had my brother in law remove the part and secure the window so it will stay up.

Donna W on February 10, 2021

Love the liberty but some flaws in design.

I love the liberty and hate the do not make them anymore. The seats are not the most comfortable but not bad. The fabric stains easy, if it rains and you open the door and any water hits the fabric it will leave water marks. The is a tire pressure light that comes on when your tires are low which is great but you have to go to a Jeep dealer to get it reset. The other issue I had is the back seat windows the motor went on both sides. When opening the hood it does not have a standard bar that you use to keep the hood open, they have what they call hood struts but they fail. So if you have to open you hood you need someone around to hold the hood open. You can replace the hood struts so that is an option but I wish they just put in the stand bar. It is also the same with the back hatch window.

Holly B on January 30, 2021

It's my favorite color I love the color blue and I got a car that was my favorite color

I like that it can fit more people then a compact car. I dislike that it is a 6 cylinder engine so it uses more gas then I'm use to

P S on January 28, 2021

It is economical and safe. It has a sport look and the MPG is very good.

I like the looks the, the durability, the reliability, and the comfort of driving it.

Erik R on January 24, 2021

It is a light vehicle. Do not turn quickly.

Good gas mileage. I like the size. I like the way it drives.

Rita L on January 23, 2021

It's a great car and I would recommend it anyone looking for an SUV

Love that it has part time 4 wheel drive, an awesome stereo system, and a sunroof. It's a great car and I love it!

Laney R on January 14, 2021

It's a very cute and good size car.

The only problem I have is sometimes when I drive on the highway I feel like my whole car shakes. The stereo also wasn't that good so I bought a new one.

jamie b on January 6, 2021

It has to have regular maintenance. Oil changes are important.

I like that my vehicle is a diesel engine. It runs smoothly. I don't have any issues with it. I also get great gas mileage out of my vehicle.

Susan D on January 3, 2021

Awesome vehicle for 4 wheel driving in the snow!

Love the 4 wheel drive, love the compact size, it is easy to drive, maneuver and park. The ride is a bit rough though, but is customary for a Jeep , I guess. I wish it was front wheel drive and not just rear wheel drive, when it is not in 4 wheel mode. So far only major issue was that the engine piston "blew" and broke at 115, 000 miles. . . Cost me 2500 to replace motor.

Shawn W on January 1, 2021

It is small but a large trunk.

Like that its 4 wheel drive, compact, roomy, dependable. Like that it's an American brand. Dislike that its older model.

Liz H on December 29, 2020

Fantastic turning radius!

This car is consistently dependable, and I love it. . Have had this car for 13 years. Minor repair problems, but nothing more than $750. Perfect run around town car. Amazing turning radius, turns on a dime. Do not want to get another car solely because of this.

Jenny c on December 27, 2020

That they are reliable no problems at all never any major problems

It is easy to haul things in rides great sits up high just a great vehicle

Jacqueline D on December 25, 2020

The tile of my review is: Loving my Jeep.

I purchase a used 2005 Jeep liberty two years ago and the only problem I had with my vehicle, is to change the brakes. I love my Jeep and I would not trade it in for nothing in the world. Also, I will be riding my Jeep until it can not provide for me anymore.

DANA F on December 23, 2020

It hydroplanes making it feel unsafe on wet or icy roads, even with new tires

Fuel pump has gone out twice, the car is top heavy and hydroplanes, it has leaks in the windows and doors that make it noisy on highways, the AC isn't very strong and the zerks are noisy when turning

Alison B on December 21, 2020

Who doesn't love their Jeep?

I really love my Jeep. It's fun to drive, and I feel confident driving in the snow and rain because of its ability to switch into all-wheel drive. It is a little too heavy, and as it has approached 100,000 miles it's starting to show the wear and tear.

Sheila N on December 19, 2020

It is a Jeep and has four-wheel drive.

I like the way my Jeep drives in the rain, snow, etc.. I do not like that the interior of my Jeep stains very easily.

lyndzi p on December 19, 2020

It is reliable in the winter weather.

It has 4 wheel drive. It is very reliable in snow. It gets good gas usage. It sits high so I can see while driving.

Brooke U on December 17, 2020

Life is better when driving a Jeep.

I love driving my Jeep liberty. I am confident while driving it, I sit higher than a car allowing me to see better. Jeeps in general make great sharp turns which is one thing I love. The only main issue I deal with is that I have a 16 gallon tank which is very expensive fill when not getting decent gas mileage. Jeeps are great for driving to work but especially off-roading. I would never buy another car other than a Jeep!

Mark F on December 16, 2020

Jeep Liberty: good at a cost.

My vehicle has a large amount of space and the four wheel drive is nice but my issue is that it seems to have had a lot of trouble recently whether expensive or cheap. This all adds onto the fact that it is falling apart from the rust thanks to New York state.

Philip fuentes F on December 16, 2020

The car is great for road trips, spacious, and a family friendly car

I love the Jeep because of its ability to drive on a rocky ground without getting torn up due to the lowness of the car. It also is very spacious inside. The downfalls of having the Jeep is how high it is from the ground because on road cars are harder to see

Shanna A on December 11, 2020

The blue and reliable Veronica

Very comfortable space, since it's older keeping it up is a challenge. Performance is wonderful and it takes me where I need to go.

Audrey L on December 2, 2020

You should know that my jeep is all-wheel drive.

I love most things about my vehicle. For instance, I like how long its lasted. Also the size of it is perfect. However, one thing I do not like about it is that sometimes the back lights burn out frequently.

Michael L on December 1, 2020

The 2005 jeep has a lot of issues!

Jeep has had issues with the motor and transmission and bought it with cash for $10,000 and 3 years later cost $ 8,000 to fix motor, and the part time light comes on and oil light also does. On the 2001 Saturn the oil light comes on most of the time and the air conditioner compressor goes out all of the time.

William B on November 29, 2020

The car is very reliable. Only one breakdown since we bought it new in 2005.

I like the style, the way it handles, the 4 wheel drive when it snows, the reliability. No complaints.

Scott C on November 28, 2020

Sporty with power and room inside.

The car has lots of room, particularly head room. It gets reasonably good gas mileage for an SUV. The engine has a lot of pep.

Allison T on November 16, 2020

This car makes you overlook it is problems because it is just so fun to drive.

I love my car it has the perfect amount of technology for me. The speakers are great, the windows are huge, it is very pleasing to the eye. I is not the most dependable, but it is an old car. The sun roof leaks and it is very top heavy so you have to drive with caution.

Rain S on November 14, 2020

Spacious silver Jeep liberty.

Timmie F on November 10, 2020

That it is blue and that it is a jeep. I wouldn't want anything but a jeep.

I like that it gets me where I need to go.it needs to be fixed cause of the steering. I like that it is comfortable to drive.

Alice A on October 31, 2020

The joys and the negative of having the Jeep library.

The air conditioning does not work, there is a crack inside the glass of the front window, need new brakes. It's good in the snow with has 4 wheel drive, good heat in the cold, sometimes it leaks when it rains on the front window on the left corner. The power windows work, radio is good, .

Shannon R on October 31, 2020

It is functional for a family and safe for children.

I call it my little jeep because it is cute and little and very reliable. I have had it for a short period of time but it is been dependable maintenance is low and having this car allows me not to have a car note which is amazing.

Joyce K on October 27, 2020

It is all wired for a computer. The color is white trimmed in gray.

Karen B on October 26, 2020

Like new SUV. Best vehicle ever.

Halley H on October 24, 2020

It drives good and goes fast.

My vehicle works pretty well. I bought it used so it is not perfect. It is a diesel that I have. It is not very good on gas mileage, but it drives nice. It is blue and the paint is a little scratched up. Overall, the vehicle is very nice. It goes pretty fast. I would recommend it to anyone.

Vanessa Q on October 22, 2020

The Jeep Liberty is a dependable car that takes you to where you need to go.

Considering the age of the vehicle, it drives well and has minor problems over the years, such as rusting. The leather seats provides comfort and the vehicle has a great turning radius. The AC and heat go on immediately and works very well, although when the fan is set at 1, it is hard to tell if air is coming through. I enjoy driving the car because it is reliable and gets me to where I need to go. Features include chrome, leather seats, and driver and passenger heated seats.

Davis D on October 17, 2020

Know one knew where the jack was to the car

There wasn't very many problems with this car, expect the normal wear and tear over the years. As far as the performance and reliability to me it was great, I cannot say that I ever had to leave parked anywhere over night so the performance was very good also. Comfortable for the passenger and the driver, but the passengers in the back seat was always tight. Not a lot of features .

Nathan W on October 11, 2020

Imy vehicle may have issues with the rear hatch door staying shut on rare occasion but no big deal. Very reliable

This model is nice and compact with just the right amount of luxury. It has proven decent on gas mileage as well.

It runs very smoothly. The only time that people should be careful is in the snow.

I love the way my vehicle looks. The only thing I hate is how it drives in the snow. I love the way it runs at any other time.

That it gets me from place to place.

I'm not really happy with it, have had many problems. Now it needs the catalytic converter replaced. Wish I had never bought it.

Jeeps are good vehicles and built to last if you can afford it

Burns way too much oil however this car has been very reliable and durable vehicle for daily commute to work and family road trips. Also has had several radiator problems so antifreeze is another thing that must be kept up weekly..one last thing the gas mileage is horrible so be prepared for more gas oil and coolant.

Car very good on gas and very dependable.

I had the car for over ten years. Sometime around year 3, I had problems with the driver's side rear electric window. After about 8 years, I had a problem with the transmission where after driving for 10-15 miles, transmission would get stuck in one gear.

I have pulled multiple bigger vehicles from ditches.

Alignment is kind of off right now. Turns are a little heavy because I need to tightened wheel bearing bolts. But very well maintenance and drives great. Very reliable during all seasons. Especially during winter with 4X4, that will get you home safely every come night with icy roads.

It is blue, pretty and reliable.

The car is great, it runs beautifully but since it is old it does need more maintenance. But other than that, I would recommend to buy this car.
