2003 Jeep Liberty Sport review from North America
"Glad I made this purchase"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Faulty torque converter from factory. The transmission went only after having the vehicle one week. The dealer had the Jeep for a entire week. The dealer also tried to get out of giving me a loaner vehicle because I did not purchase the extended warranty. We had to contact the salesman and only after he talked to the service department and sales manager, did they agree to rent me a loaner vehicle. I still don't like the way it shifts into first. It often clunks into a hard shift, but I recently drove with a co-worker who has a new Chrysler minivan and that vehicle shifts the same way. I am told by the dealer that that is the way the new engines run - they are all the same even after comparing mine to others on the lot. All in All - I love my Liberty - it is FUN to drive.
General comments?
This vehicle is heavy enough to feel safe, yet small enough to go anywhere. Its fun to drive.
