2003 Jeep Liberty Special Edition review from North America
"Do not purchase this vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bought my Jeep in Oct 2006.. Drove the Jeep for 45 Days, lost 4th gear... The Jeep will be in the shop longer than I have been able to drive it. Transmission is being replaced. Recall with ball joints... Due to transmission issue, may have engine issues... It took three dealerships to find the problem, and will take a month to get the new transmission.. Dealership #2 told me that Cherokee's have this problem not the Liberty...
General comments?
When the car was running correctly, I loved it. However at this rate I should have kept my Camry with 217000 miles on it, at least she never left me stranded. Next car will be a Toyota, Honda or Nissan.
