Great ride for short road trips.
Jeep liberty is very comfortable to drive and is very reliable in the snow. It comfortably holds 4 adults and has enough cargo space for short road trips. I drive my daughters back and forth to college several times a year. They want to know if we would buy a new car so they could have this one.

Jeep liberty 10/10 comfortable, reliable,
Love it! Drives great, looks really nice. Never have had any problems for the 2 years I've owned it. Has a big trunk and a lot of room. Not too bulky or big. Very comfortable and reliable. Would suggest for anyone. I've never driven a bigger car before this one but it was easy to adjust to and its great!

Rugged, reliable, and comfortable. Plenty of storage compartments. 4 wheel drive allows to navigate through terrain and weather.

Issues with the Jeep liberty 2010
Issues with the retractable roof. The roof won't close completely and leaks. Trouble with heater core.
accountCircle Jen J
I really like the front seats.
If you are really tall there is not too much leg room. Fairly big on the inside. Nice backseat. Good headlights both regular and bright. The radio is nice, has an aux cord so you can play all your own music. No sunroof. Drive smoothly. A good amount of trunk space for packing for big vacations.

Dependable and safe. Comfortable.
The Jeep liberty good and reliable vehicle. This vehicle rides smoothly. The seats are comfortable. The back seat folds down to make it easy to transport large amounts of cargo. It rides safely in the snow.

Jeeper for life - first time jeep owner.
It drives well but the interior is small. It has some cargo space but could use a little more. I like the towing capacity and sound system. The performance is good but the gas mileage is not as good as I would like. It has very good heat in the winter and cools well in the summer too.

The air quality of a 2010 jeep liberty.
I love the aesthetic of the car. Also- great in dirt and snow. It does have a lot of problems with the air qualities such as ac. The air is never strong despite if it is hot or cold. Super good otherwise for people who love big yet compact cars. A good car overall:).

Jeep does not support its product
I have a 2010 Jeep Liberty with a sky slider roof. Roof came off track so I brought to dealer to fix. Get a call telling me the entire sky slider needs to be replaced as there were broken pieces. When I looked at it to get back on track, prior to bringing to dealer, did not see ‘broken pieces’. I think they broke it! But I can’t prove it! So went to someone else to try to fix. However part needed to fix it is discontinued! I have been searching for this part for over a year now. I have been trying to deal with Jeep as well. They made these roofs 2008-2012 and there are lots of people with broken ones but you can not fix because they don’t make the parts! Shame on Jeep to not support their customer Service! MAKE SOME PARTS!!! Just want to fix the d**n thing!

Horrible vehicle, I'll never buy one again
The 2010 jeep liberty that I own does not have cruise control, it is uncomfortable and it is a gas hog.
accountCircle Debbie M
There is none it is a 4x4.
Sunroof leaking and a noise in front of truck. Sucks gas up. Bad gas mileage. When I brought the truck I asked if had leaks and they said that was a lie. I've heard this leaking is a big problem with Jeep liberty. Trying to get it fixed is a real problem. The dealer should take care of this. I found out that 10 people are suing Jeep dealer. I tired to get my sunroof you can not get the parts to fix it.

My vehicle is a second hand purchase, not in the best condition when bought.
Switching to higher speed takes time, no sunroof, no Bluetooth, no outlets. My vehicle was a second hand but, purchased in ok condition. Interior of the car is nice, lot of trunk space, just limited features. Adjustable seats by lever underneath the front seats and handle on the side. Cup holders in back do not hold most bottles, they fall right out. Car is very spacious.
accountCircle Shelbi H
Lots of parts break down and then are very hard to replace. You have to wait a long time for part to be ordered. Also all of the sensor lights go on and off constantly.
It is not a good car. Before I got it so many people told me not to get a Jeep and I agree now.
accountCircle Haley D
Blue jeep that sounds like a semi-truck.
The back passenger side tire goes flat 3 times a week, the power steering and fan belt snapped out of nowhere on day and made it so I couldn't drive for a week, it is very expensive to fix, there is a cylinder misfiring in the engine so the car runs bad and sounds wrong, it always sounds like I am dragging a tree under my car but there is nothing hanging down, and the exhaust emits smoke when I first start the car. It's also terrible on gas.
accountCircle Amber D
Reliable transportation vehicle.
The automated windows on my vehicle have broken, but other than that the vehicle is comfortable, and drives well. They did have a recall on the windows, so the issue was fixed. I also had a issue with the back window windshield wiper and light, but once it stopped raining and the mist inside the control panel dried, my windshield wiper and light went back to normal.

Is to small need more space for families.
This car is a great vehicle. I bought it used but the previous owners kept it in good shape.. It does have its flaws. For example the back seats are so close to the driver and passenger seats. I have a little kid and when she was a baby we could not put her car seat on either side. We had to put it in middle. If we put the car seat on the passenger side nobody would be able to sit in that spot because we had to push the chair all the way up. Same issue when we upgraded her car seat it still had to be rear facing. We have to put her in the middle which is not the spot to put her in but we had no other choice. The driver side is not tall people friendly. It is really cramped.

It is definitely a great car that'll take you to where you want to go.
My vehicle is fairly nice. There are only a couple issues. The tire sensor is broken and the gas cap is loose. Other than that it is super clean, taken care of and is very reliable. The oil gets changed every few months and it is up to date on yearly inspections.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Hannah J.

Drives well, sits high above the road but not so high that it would be difficult to get into. Back row of seats fold down to allow for a ton of storage/ transportation space. There's a spot in the trunk that opens to reveal hard plastic, which is a good place to transport items that may leak so you do not ruin the carpeting.

likeFilled Stephanie B.

4WD is amazing and works really well. It is more roomy than the old models. Looks sleek and smooth, and rides fairly decently. Lots of trunk space which is great if you have kids. The seats lay down as well and expands the storage space.

likeFilled Makenzie R.

It rides smooth, good on gas its comfortable. It also has 4X4 which is nice for the winter. It has a big truck area which is nice for grocery shopping. It would be a good family car. I would recommend this vehicle to someone who likes SUV type vehicles.

likeFilled Jp Z.

The car is very reliable and quiet while driving. The cargo space is enough for shopping trips for a family of 4. The car seems to be very resistant to collisions as it is large and tough. Overall, it is a nice made in USA car.

likeFilled Amanda P.

Spacious, 4 wheel drive, heated seats, GPS, satellite radio, tows well, drives smoothly, electric everything, second row folds down to make more room. Good to take camping or on the beach. Haven't had many mechanical issues with it.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Hannah J.

Like many Jeeps, it is had its fair share of issues and maintenance needs. Has limited leg room for second row of seating. The seal on the top is starting to gape which is causing leaking during heavy rain and discoloration of the ceiling.

dislikeFilled Stephanie B.

I had to have the heater core replaced twice, which is a 24 hour minimum fix so that part sucks. Otherwise it is a very good vehicle, survived a couple winters with me, it's made it through 3 feet of unplowed snow, and has never gotten stuck.

dislikeFilled Makenzie R.

The cons of the jeep liberty would be that it doesn't have very good heat, which isn't good for winter. It has cloth seating which I prefer leather. The back seat is kind of small so mostly children could ride back there. It is rear wheel drive which I find scary in the winter.

dislikeFilled Jp Z.

The shoulder level vent for ac stopped working after a while. The car is tall so it is hard for short people to get on. There is no camera for parking so you need to rely on your hunch while parallel parking.

dislikeFilled Amanda P.

Doesn't tow a trailer, too boxy, can feel claustrophobic, have to pay extra for satellite radio, it's not a manual which I prefer to drive, not the best on gas mileage. Not enough storage compartments etc.

Is The 2010 Jeep Liberty A Good Value?

It is a good value. I bought it in 2014 with under 10,000 miles for around $15,000. I think this is a very reasonable price for what I got.
Stephanie C.

It has depreciated a lot through the years so it is not worth what it should be especially if trading it in.
