2006 Jeep Liberty Review: Among The Worst Years For The Compact SUV

Alex Showalter

Jul 5, 2022

The 2006 Liberty lasts only around 150,000 miles with engine failures and A/C system issues. At $4,878 to $8,181, it’s way too expensive given the number of problems.

The Good

The stereo system is easy to use, off-road performance is above average and the ride height is good.

The Bad

The fuel economy is terrible, there are a lot of mechanical issues, and the base interior is low quality.

Is the 2006 Jeep Liberty a Good Used SUV?

No, 2006 is a bad year. Owner reviews complain about mechanical issues, cramped cabin, and a bad interior.
Reliability ratings are terrible. Models from 2009 and newer offer better reliability than the older ones.
Performance is average from the V6 engine, but it’s a bit weaker than its rivals.
The Liberty is reasonably safe, getting 4 out of 5 stars in government crash tests.
Fuel economy is bad, only getting up to 17 MPG combined.

Positive Owner Reviews

I love this car.The size is perfect for towing behind the RV.The gas mileage is almost 20 miles to a gallon.The only dislike l have about this car is there are no cup holders in the back seat and window controls are on the center console.

The power that this car has is amazing.Since it is a small car people think it has no towing power.But,we have towed the pontoon boat and the trailer with it.

Rita C

Great family car that we have enjoyed for more than 10 years.

Love my Jeep. It's our fifth Jeep. Had them more than 20 years. Very low maintenance. Gas mileage is very good. Only major thing I would change is the upholstery. It stained very badly even with water. We couldn't clean it and had to use seat covers very early.

Sheila A

She is a beast and I will cry if I ever lose her. She may be small but she is amazing.

My poor truck already has almost 250,000. She has been through hell and back with me but I love her and I really can't afford or even have the credit for a new vehicle right now so I am praying she holds out for a super long time.

Since its a suv its roll over prone would be one of the most important things to know

First off i LOVE my Jeep it has been the most dependable vehicle i have owned next to my chevy blazer that is. However it is not without its own set of issues.Its had oil light issues which almost cost me my engine because the oil was 2 1/2 quarts low and the light didnt come on,its had issues with the roof leaking and the water ran down into my fuse box which caused all kinds of issues and its had security issues where it wouldn't start because the security wouldn't disengage. Otherwise it was worth the money paid .did i mention it has over 218,000 miles on it?

Jennifer W

It is a great Jeep, good on gas just enough room for family of 3 also love it.

Love that it is small with sunroof. So much class. It is pretty good on gas and runs smooth. At this time I have not found anything I dislike. We have only had it about 45 days.

Karen P

The Jeep Liberty is a cute, fun, reliable vehicle that will not let you down!

I love my Jeep Liberty because it is compact, cute, and fun! It has plenty of space in the back to accommodate small loads of groceries all the way up to a weekend away at the beach with the kids. It has 4-wheel drive, which has been wonderful for projects in the muddy yard, and enough power to tow a trailer. The gas mileage is decent, so no complaints there. It has great visibility all the way around, which is important to me. It is easy to get in and out of and provides a comfy ride. It is basic and reliable. I've owned it for 12 years and it's been good to me!

Nancy c

Good in winter and it is good on gas.

I like that it is an SUV. It is good in the winter. Pretty good on gas. Drives nice

Sandra J

Its performance on and off the road is outstanding.

A very comfortable and fun auto to drive. Have had no major problems. Performs well on road and off. Could be better on mileage but other then that I am very pleased with vehicle.

Negative Owner Reviews

Carmen P

It could be a very good older van, if you keep up the maintenance on it.

Jeep liberty break down and are currently on recall. Keep getting it fixed. Waste of money. Do not waste your money on buying a Jeep.

Rita Bieri

Too many issues

DO NOT BUY ONE!

Diana H

It's not the best but it gets me places

Needs a lot of repairs. I need to repair the back door, side, door, and there are some lights on the dashboard that won't shut off. It is not fuel efficient and I feel like I have to take it for repairs every few months or so. I also need to get an alignment down because it its type wobbly.

Abby G

Jeep liberty not the vehicle choice for me.

Vehicle is too small for a family of four. The brakes have been replaced twice. The water pump is going out. It makes a loud popping sound when turning either direction. It has already had a part recall on the vehicle. Paint peels easily. I really do not like driving this vehicle at all.

Ann S

Seems like older Jeeps have a lot of problems.

I have had to replace the window regulator motor over 8 times. I have experienced suspension problems. And I just spent $800 on new radiator.

Erin R

It is very fast. I can get on the highway or interstate and really catch speed.

It is a nice car, but it rubs a lot and eats gas. I am at the gas station twice a week, or even three. When I turn, it sounds horrible. Even after I just had it fixed, it is still rubbing and locking up when I drive. And it has lots of miles on it.

Steve D

A Noisy, Loud and Uncomfortable Car.

My vehicle is heavy, loud and uncomfortable. I had to change the engine last Jan. Each time I drive the vehicle, I'm afraid that something will happen. It's time to get something new!

Tanya J

Jeep liberty for easy to parallel park you can park in any parking lot.

I don't really like the jeep liberty's because I am going problems with the windows in the shocks in the raisable glass in the back of the jeep has been replaced many times and the CD player does not work only have an am FM radio no USB or aux hookup uses too much gas and problems with the jeep liberty leaking antifreeze does thanks what I like about the jeep liberty is that it is small I guess that is about it as far as the likes.

What Do Critics Say About the Jeep Liberty?

Consumer Reports says the Liberty is jittery to drive with very low owner satisfaction scores.
Edmunds gives the Liberty a 3.8/5, liking the off-road capabilities, and disliking the rough driving experience.
Kelley Blue Book users rate the Liberty 4.1/5 and enjoy the standard V6 engine, but dislike the lack of storage.

What Common Problems Does the 2006 Jeep Liberty Have?

The most common problems found on the 2006 Jeep Liberty include broken window regulators, engine failures, and air conditioning issues.

Broken window regulators are the most common problem showing up about every 55,000 miles. There is a poor design for the regulator, and it prevents the window from going up and down. New regulators are about $400 per window, and will break again due to the design flaw.

Engine failures show up on some Liberty models within the first 80,000 miles. The only solution when there’s a complete failure is to replace it with a new one, costing around $4,800.

Air conditioning system problems are another issue at around 65,000 miles. The compressor and blower both wear out quickly, and cost roughly $600 to replace.

There are 10 recalls, and many of them are serious including the engine wiring harness, steering ball joints, and the rear lower control arm, which can all increase the risk of an accident.

How Long Will the 2006 Jeep Liberty Last?

A properly maintained 2006 Liberty may last around 150,000 miles, which is half as long as top-rated competitors like the Honda CR-V. Regular annual maintenance costs are higher than rivals, according to Repair Pal, at $440 per year.

Most 2006 Liberty models will have over 100,000 miles, so buyers should be prepared to replace items including the oil pan gasket for $500, transmission mounts, which cost $80 each, and the brake booster costing $200.

Marita C

Fabric on seats spotted and stained first time moisture touched it. Unable to clean. Has needed seat covers most of time we've had it.

Morgan N

Engine light remains on although there are no mechanical problems. I checked multiple car places and there is no problem with engine.

Ryan S

So far mine has been very reliable. The only thing I see being a problem in the foreseeable future are the shocks. They are very stiff and seem to be making some weird noises.

Brianna G

I believe it is pretty reliable. I have had some issues with it in the two years that I have had it but nothing to major or that costly to fix.

Rosa V

It has not had any major problems, just the basics, brake replacement rotor and oil change fluid checks etc.

Laura S

Some things have had to be replaced, but because of normal wear and tear not because of poor quality or workmanship.

Denise H

Aside from the window problems, the jeep liberty sport is a reliable vehicle. And the upholstery stains easily, which is another problem.

Nate F

In two years, had to replace radiator, water pump twice, three batteries. Other random issues too but.

How Much Is the 2006 Jeep Liberty Worth?

Blue book values range from $4,878 to $8,181, making the Liberty about $400 more than a Subaru Forester or Ford Escape. When new, the price range was $21,290 to $26,190. Depreciation is worse than rivals, losing roughly 15% of its current value per year.

What are the Different Models of the Jeep Liberty?

There are three models of the Liberty available. Technology was last updated in 2005, with a complete redesign coming for the 2008 model year.

Sport is the entry-level model with:

16-Inch Steel Wheels

What Engines Come In the Jeep Liberty?

The engine found in the 2006 Jeep Liberty is an average 3.7L V6 engine which makes 210 horsepower and gets up to 17 MPG combined. Performance is below average, taking 9.3 seconds to go 0-60 MPH.

What Colors Does the Jeep Liberty Come In?

How Big Is the Jeep Liberty?

The 2006 Jeep Liberty is a compact SUV, similar in size to the Honda CR-V and Chevy Equinox. Passenger room is good in the front and rear seats, with a decent amount of headroom for taller passengers.

Cargo space is good for a compact SUV with 29 cubic feet of room behind the backseats, and 69 cubic feet when folded flat.

How Does the Jeep Liberty Compare to the Competition?

The Jeep Wrangler is another competitor from Jeep costing nearly $8,000 more. Off-road performance is much better in the Wrangler, but the interior of the Liberty is nicer. We recommend the Wrangler since they last longer and hold their value better.

The Toyota RAV4 is a rival that costs about $2,500 more. Reliability ratings and technology are better in the RAV4, but the Liberty has slightly more room. We recommend going with a RAV4 since they are more affordable to own and last longer.

Do Owners Recommend the Jeep Liberty?

Marita C

Yes. Very low maintenance. Good gas mileage. Exterior has maintained. Rear seat folds with either whole seat or one section.

Morgan N

Yes. It has a great value and still runs well despite being old. Needs frequent oil check / changes to make sure it is running well.

Ryan S

Yes. Great gas mileage, runs good, no mechanical problems so far. Does great in the snow and ice just has a hard time around corners because it is so lightweight.

Brianna G

Yes, it is very reliable. It is decent on gas mileage and gets me from point a to point b. It is a really good car in the winter because it has four wheel drive.

Rosa V

Yes, it is a good reliable vehicle, very spacious. Has a lot of room in the rear, not many mechanical issues but regular maintenance.

Laura S

Yes, it has been very reliable and dependable. I pray it continues to be for 2 more years until I buy or lease a replacement.

Denise H

The 2006 jeep liberty sport is a vehicle that will last at least 10 years, but there are some problems, including falling windows. If you can fix the windows as they fall, it is a good vehicle.

Nate F

Relatively but something always goes wrong. Right now, another battery died, 3rd in three years. Just replaced second water pump.

Take care of it it will take care of you

We have a 2006 Jeep Liberty Limited. It has given us very few issues. Of course the well know issue with the windows. I replaced the ignition switch. The rest of the issues were regular maintenance items that wear out on any vehicle. We have changed the fluids religiously and it's still going strong. We have driven our liberty on several cross country road trips and it has never let us down. It currently has just over 230,000 miles. Whoever came up with life expectancy of 150,000 miles is a clown. You can keep your honda.

Paul on August 24, 2023

2006 liberty milage

I have over 260,000 miles on my 4wd 2006 liberty. So I completely disagree that they only last 150,000 miles. I've changed the water pump and cooling reservoir. It's been treated rough. I pull a 24 foot camper with it 2 times a month, hunt fish and pull people out with it. It's not like a wrangler but it works.

Jack Kivela on November 23, 2023

Jeep liberty 2006

I have a 2006 with 117,000km in Europe. Well looked after with regular service. In return it's the best car I ever had. It is just a gem. Tough,reliable and comfortable. Jack Kivela, Croatia

Tammy R on March 31, 2021

Maneuverable, but with power.

I like the smaller size and maneuverability. I live rurally and many times need 4 wheel drive to even get out of my driveway. With this model I appreciate the dual rear door which allows me to open either the window only or the entire back door depending on my needs and the size load. I do have some difficulty with the size when passengers more around a lot as the car is not heavy enough to stay in place.

Jordan S on March 30, 2021

Jeep liberty older models may be old but are still functional.

Only problems is my water pump needed to be fixed. Very reliable. Comfortable. Pretty spacious for a medium sized sport utilities car. Older features, but any update will be fine. Performs well. My 2WD does good in all conditions. No engine problems, no wiring issues. Perfect car for teens. Body upholds nice. Tires are good and have good traction. Since my car sits up so high the wind tends to have an impact on the steering a little bit. Headlights are super good even at low beam.

Lindsay H on March 29, 2021

Jeep liberty is the way to go!

This car has been through hell and back. 5-8 long distance road trips, only required maintenance on it excluding one tune up, and it runs perfectly. We've had it for 12 years and it was previously owned before that. Decent gas mileage. Love it.

Brittany H on March 29, 2021

They are more likely to roll, but if you are a smart and cautious driver there is not much to worry about.

My jeep liberty is tall enough but compact enough length wise that I get the enjoyment of a tall vehicle without the hassle of parking a large vehicle.

Carla P on March 27, 2021

Reliable vehicle, minimal issues.

Some issues; water pump, window motor, and brake lines replaced, but a very used car. Extremely reliable; I drive to and from school, 1 hour both ways, at least once a week. Have had the vehicle 2 years and had many previous owners. I consider this vehicle to be extremely comfortable and roomy.

Kathy S on March 20, 2021

My Jeep is dependable and will get me through any kind of weather or terrain.

No complaints, except maybe gas mileage! My Jeep is cute, sporty, has lots of room for passengers and luggage and is great in the snow. She is trail rated, so if I should choose to go off roading, I could.

Car H on March 19, 2021

Regular maintenance is very important.

My jeep has been a good car to me. If you take care of your car then it will take care of you. I do not have any complaints.

Katie G on March 12, 2021

It is durable. Nothing major has gone wrong on the car.

It is older and ac is broken. But a great car that has lasted with regular maintenance and good quality.

Cara T on March 6, 2021

Never again will I buy another Jeep.

I love my car but will never purchase another Jeep. From the start there have been recall after recall. One recall was for new window motors however they changed the motor size which meant that I had to buy new windows for my car that fit the new motor. Recalled for axle issue as well as a recall because if I am rear ended the car might blow up b/c of where the gas tank is located - their solution to this - add a hitch to my car - which cannot tow anything. Also I live in a big city so trying to parallel park with a hitch on the back of my car - no thank you. There is a ghost in the machine so to speak meaning that the abs/esp lights are constantly on - even after spending hundreds of dollars trying to fix that issues. Now the front driver side window is acting up.

Rita G on March 5, 2021

It's reliable and trouble-free.

I like that's it's been a reliable and safe vehicle for 12 years. Basic maintenance, few problems. I'd prefer a little better gas mileage but it isn't awful. Could be a little more comfortable, seat-wise. Great for hauling things like small furniture.

Carl O on February 24, 2021

Attractive, comfortable, and spacious enough for nearly any job

The Jeep Liberty Renegade has been our reliable car since 2006, and it is still going strong in 2019! It looks nice, it's spacious inside (fits 4 adults comfortably, or 5 almost comfortably.) I've been in it for several long drives, and I've never felt cramped in there. My favorite part is that the back has ample storage space. I can do huge stock up grocery trips and all that food fits back there! Or I can fold down the rear seat and fit larger items, such as small furniture, a ladder, or long items like ladders or rugs. My only complaints about my Jeep Liberty are the gas tank recall (which they fixed by putting a trailer hitch on the Jeep), the motors in the windows failing (we had to replace all four window motors), and some faulty sensors (which caused one tire to go flat constantly in cold weather). But aside from these minor problems, I have been quite happy with my purchase, and I hope to get many more years out of my Jeep Liberty.

Irene C on February 23, 2021

Great vehicle, just old age issues.

We love our vehicle, but wish it wasn't as old as it is. The only things wrong with it are issues like it leaks oil, the airbag light goes on, needs new tires, etc. I believe all the issues are because of old age not because of the make and model. Would definitely buy this car again, it is the perfect size for our family and the 4 wheel drive is necessary in the winter months.

Joe H on February 21, 2021

It's a great family vehicle.

One of the best vehicles I've ever owned. Get regular recall updates when needed but those are few and far. Jeep dealers are always easy to deal with.

Anna F on February 21, 2021

Great vehicle overall w/ slight interior issue

I love my Jeep Liberty. I have had it for about 9 years now & it has had very few problems. I do regularly take it to the Jeep shop to get oil changes & get it checked on. It drives very well in harsh weather & in situations where I was forced to drive in off-road situations. My only issue with it is that the inside interior seems to have been made with cheap materials & it falls apart. The plastic that makes the inside of the doors & other parts of the car does not hold together well. But all-in-all I love my car & it has always performed well for me.

Terry C on February 21, 2021

It has 4 wheel drive for winter.

It is lasted me 12+ years and with any luck it will last another 5+. Solid built vehicle, great on gas and handles well in the snow with the 4 wheel drive.

Danielle W on February 15, 2021

It is really built well it turns nicely. It also has a short body so like a car it pulls right into small spaces.

I like the way it drives. How easy it is to fit into tight spaces. I don't like the cloth upholstery

Emily G on February 11, 2021

It gets a little bumpy. It is kind of small so not a lot of legroom.

I like the way the exterior looks. I like sitting up higher in the SUV. I like the way the back trunk opens. I like the sun roof. It's fun to drive. It's too small. There is not enough storage. There are no "bells and whistles" such as seat warmers, Bluetooth, navi system, backup camera, etc.

Tracy H on February 8, 2021

Jeep liberty takes me wherever I want to go in any type of weather.

My jeep liberty is so easy to drive and handles extremely well in any type of weather. I have had problems with the electrical system, one thing at a time. Blinker goes out, brake light goes out, and it is been a continuous problem since I bought the vehicle. It has a panel for backseat riders so the can adjust their own windows and multiple cup holders.

kathryn m on January 30, 2021

06 Jeep Liberty still going strong!

I love my jeep. It's very reliable and has served me well for many years. It is now at the age where it needs more maintenance, but nothing major.

June v on January 26, 2021

The power that this car has is amazing.Since it is a small car people think it has no towing power.But,we have towed the pontoon boat and the trailer with it.

Vesteva S on January 24, 2021

My Jeep Liberty is one of the most reliable cars I have ever permed.

My Libby has been a great car for me. It's reliable for me and my family. We have had it for four years with minimal problems. It is getting too small for us with how the family has grown.

Samantha R on January 20, 2021

The Jeep Liberty is my favorite due to comfort, space and appearance.

I bought my white 2006 Jeep Liberty Sport used for 2500$. I had to do some work on the tires and brake system but other than that, I have loved it. I'm a huge fan of Jeeps in general and the Jeep Liberty holds a special place in my heart. I like the comfort it provides, along with lots of room and storage space for road trips. Plus, I Just think it's a great SUV.

Karen P on January 10, 2021

The Jeep Liberty is a cute, fun, reliable vehicle that will not let you down!

Janet T on January 6, 2021

The low miles per gallon and whenever getting gas, the gauge doesn't kick off soon enough and most always overflows and spills out some. If using a full service station, I have to remember to tell attendant NOT to attempt topping off the tank and mindful of when it kicks off!

It's a nice size SUV. The 4 wheel drive features are easy to use and great in snow, mud, gravel and on difficult or steep grades. So far, no major issues with it other than normal maintenance. Only downside is the gas mileage, 16-17 mpg in town/ 18-20 hwy.

Rita C on January 2, 2021

Great family car that we have enjoyed for more than 10 years.

Paul M on January 2, 2021

The quality of the build.

I like the size and spaciousness. It has good gas mileage . Don't like the safari roof.

Katie H on December 24, 2020

Keep up on the maintenance!! Jeeps will run forever if you take care of them.

I love my Jeep and I love Jeep products. I rated my 2006 Jeep liberty a 3 only because I have had the Jeep since 2011 and it is now 2018. I have put quite a few miles on it in the last 7 years. I have had no major issues with this car. Just routine maintenance, breaks, oil changes etc. Overall it has been a great car, I just know that it is heading towards the bigger problems such as transmission problems. A that point it would be more expensive to fix than what the car is worth now.

Ruth B on December 21, 2020

Seats fold down for extra large things you need to carry and good gas mileage

My Jeep is very reliable, but uncomfortable to ride in. Always starts up and gets you where you need to go. It's very trustworthy on the highway. I have not had to do any work on it and it's good on gas mileage you can carry extra stuff in it cause the back seat folds down.

Melissa L on December 16, 2020

The windows break all the time. Something to do with the mechanism.

I love the way it looks. Also, I like that I sit up high and can really see well.

Edward B on December 14, 2020

Stop robbing the unsuspecting public.

Cheap plastic. Epic fail. Door pieces, shifting cable. Dealers should make tune ups super cheap. We have to use them because it is too complicated for a novice to do. Awful. Charge for parts under 100, labor 400? All robbers if you want to ask me.

Nicholas P on December 2, 2020

Awesome Jeep! Awesome reliable.

Very sturdy reliable and durable and great for off-road expeditions, very little maintenance if you know your way around a car.

Sharon A on December 1, 2020

That the oil is changed regularly, and has low mileage.

Performs well and is very reliable. The Jeep has only 65, 000 miles on it. The body is in great shape. The oil is changed every 3, 000 miles. It gives one a very comfortable ride.

Jessica H on November 29, 2020

It has a good amount of room and it performs well in the snow.

Transmission is not the best, I had to replace it. The 4 wheel drive is pretty decent. The gear shift is not the greatest either.

Jason M on November 19, 2020

Jeep very dependable can't beat it.

This jeep has been a very reliable vehicle has 230,000 miles on it and still drive it daily and have no mechanical issues one of the more dependable vehicles I've ever owned. I would recommend a jeep to anyone after owning this car the only thing I don't like is mine is not four wheel drive.

tina t on November 15, 2020

It doesn't have the best gas mileage but it's easy to drive.

I like that the car has great visibility, is easy to handle, has good pick up, doesn't get stuck in snow. I can tow stuff and actually fit a lot of things in the car. It's not too long so parking is not difficult. I'm not crazy that it doesn't get good gas mileage and had horrible windows. But it does the job and has been reliable.

Ds I on October 30, 2020

My jeep's reliability is great!.

What I like about my jeep - versatility and clearance.. What I dislike about my jeep is the poor gas mileage - 17 miles per gallon in town..

Jane V on October 29, 2020

Overall a great SUV for all seasons. Very roomy.

My jeep liberty performs very nicely. It is 13 years old with 213,000 miles on it and still running in good condition. It has some rust spots on it basically because I lived in New York where they have salt on the roads. It has been very reliable. Great in winter conditions with 4 wheel drive with good winter tires. Has great room inside.

Cynthia A on October 27, 2020

It can be driven on most surfaces.

This was my first car. I have hardly had any problems out of it. The Jeep fits me well with all I have to do throughout the week.

Cat B on October 25, 2020

My vehicle is reliable for the most part. The one highlight I like about it is the size.

Many times it has trouble starting. The fact that it didn't come with an aux made it difficult to play my own music.

Crystal W on October 22, 2020

What is interesting about this vehicle is its body shape and design.

Uses to much gas. Two wheel drive. High rollover rate. Very dependable and fast. I feel very safe in my vehicle. Lots of room in the back for groceries and what not. High insurance for full coverage because it is a jeep. Big tires. Great for off road type things.

James R on October 14, 2020

It is very reliable.. Over 100 000 miles on car and it still starts instantly.

Looks awesome. Runs like a champ.My jeep goes anywhere I point it up and down.Jeep's do not know when to give up.

Sandra R on October 11, 2020

It's reliable. It's reliable. It's reliable. It's reliable

It's reliable. Never has required any major work.

Jennifer W on October 9, 2020

It is a great Jeep, good on gas just enough room for family of 3 also love it.

Love that it is small with sunroof. So much class. It is pretty good on gas and runs smooth. At this time I have not found anything I dislike. We have only had it about 45 days.

Eva L on October 8, 2020

My title is: My Little Big Escalade

I've only had one recall on my truck in which the dealership fixed it. I really love driving my Jeep. It is a little SUV but handles like a car. It is really good on gas. It came with a 6 disc changer but unfortunately it gave out so I had to replace it with a after the radio. This automobile has been very reliable on getting me too and from work along with any errands that I have to run. It sits comfortably for me. I am short so this small SUV is perfect for me.

James M on October 8, 2020

It has a bit of a rough ride. Otherwise it has been a good form of transportation.

The Jeep has a bit of a rough ride. Gas mileage is @15. Had problems with the power windows in the past.

Nina Harford on September 28, 2020

I love my 4x4 SUV!!

I got ‘Jeepers’ in spring of ‘17 with 120,000 plus miles on her from a family that bought her brand new. They kept Up on all the maintenance, as have I. I’d never driven a Jeep before but fell in love quickly. The problems I’ve had are known. The back windows both motors broke, my husband installed wood so they won’t roll down anymore. Front driver side motor also broke but had that fixed, just under $400! The rear windshield wiper flew off and they no longer make the correct one for this model. Bought closest one and tied on with wire, fixed it! However the worst happened last winter when putting it in 4WD, BANG! She’s in shop now having a used Transfer Case put on as well as the right front wheel bearing thatwent out. So, $1600 later I’m still happy. I’ll have a 4WD SUV That still runs excellent.

I don't know what else to say

I don't have any problems with my 2006 Jeep liberty. I wish that I got better gas mileage tho. It is great in the winter, especially driving in central Pennsylvania. The steering is a little touchy, but I think that is the way jeeps are made. I love that I sit up higher off of the road, I feel safe in my Jeep.
