2003 Jeep Liberty Limited review from North America
"A poor little lemon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 19,200 miles the whole transmission is gone. I was driving it recently and I couldn't get out of first gear. The care was towed to the dealership and they said a valve body broke into multiple pieces and they had no idea how that happened. They replaced the part which was $1,000 but thank goodness I am under warranty. Then they gave the car back to me and it functioned appropriately for one day before the transmission did not work appropriately again. Now the car is getting a whole new transmission at 19,200 miles -- can you believe it???
Also, after taking it home for two days after I initally bought it, a wire had to be reconnected because the turn signal did not work.
General comments?
I really love Jeeps, but the reliability is driving me insane.
The car handles very well.
Let us hope nothing else goes wrong!!!
