2003 Jeep Liberty Sport review from North America
"Jeep Liberty is a piece of junk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power steering line popped off a few weeks after purchase. Easy to fix, no major problems until 1 1/2 years later.
The clutch and fly wheel totally fell apart (I've never towed with this vehicle nor do I "ride" the clutch).
Don't try to put the back seat backs down, it'll break your seatbelts, and Chrysler charges you $100 deductable to fix it.
After taking it in for repair, they kept finding more and more wrong with it, not much was covered under my extended warranty. Total repair bill (out of my pocket) - $1800. Pretty pricy car repair bill for a 1 1/2 year old car with an extended warranty.
General comments?
Very unhappy with both the dealer and Chrysler. When I talked to the dealer, they told me to talk to Chrysler. When I talked to Chrysler, they told me to talk to the dealer. There is a page long list of things that went wrong with the car, and nobody will take responsiblity for selling me a hunk of junk - the Jeep Liberty.
