2002 Jeep Liberty Sport review from North America
"Looking for another used Cherokee"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A noise from the right rear suspension.
The cargo space is smaller than the Cherokee.
The electric window controls are inconveniently located on the center console.
The doors lock by themselves, but do not unlock, you have to unlock using the fob or front locks to open the back.
The brake dive is severe; it gives a false sense of braking until you realize that you are approaching the obstacle in front of you much faster than anticipated.
Handling is poor.
The Liberty has less power than the Cherokee, but weighs 500 lbs more for the 4x4.
General comments?
Hard seats.
