Faults:

Nothing wrong with my Liberty except that my husband is very jealous.

General Comments:

I love my Libby and although my husband wanted me to drive a Ford Explorer, I decided to buy a Jeep.

The Libby looks much better and handling is great.

Now that I have a new car, I also want a new life and I will dump my narrow minded boulding husband for a younger one, one who doesn't need an Explorer (of all cars) to show that he is the man.

Faults:

Nothing has gone wrong with the car because I simply refuse to drive. (wife does)

General Comments:

I have a 1996 Ford Explorer xlt that will run circles around the Liberty in comfort, handling, gas mileage, interior head and leg room, passenger room, towing, and hauling capacity. I refer to the Liberty as the foo foo Mattel toy car. Might fit somebody well that is 5'2 and weighs 130 or less.

Faults:

After 15 months and over 54000 Km (32400 miles, mainly highway) the Liberty has been very reliable although I did not know what to expect since I've heard a few bad stories on Chrysler/Jeep products. Its 4x4 is very efficient. Living in Canada, I had the opportunity to use the vehicle in various road conditions. Deep snow or ice, the Liberty (which I equipped with 4 Nokian Hakkapeliitta winter tires) performed very well. Actually, much better than my previous 4x4 : a Ford Explorer Sport. The only negative points are : front seats too shorts which make long drive uncomfortable. Also, any 6 footer will not enjoy seating in the back where legroom is simply non-existent. Finally, the gas consumption is very high.

General Comments:

Great 4x4.

Front seats should be improved.

Gas consumption is very high for the size of the vehicle (easily 15 liters/100 Km).

Faults:

One of the drums on the brakes was warpped when the vehicle was purchased.

General Comments:

This SUV is comfortable and ergonomic.

The engine is peppy; it gets out of it's own way, quickly.

Even the guys like to drive it!

Faults:

The spark plug was defective and the dealer didn't have one in stock in order to repair the car.

The interior does not clean up well.

The gas mileage is terrible.

The seats and carpeting look shabby after only 4 months of usage.

General Comments:

The Jeep Liberty is fun to drive, however, you cannot drive it much due to such poor gas mileage.

So far in snow it has performed very well. The weight of the vehicle and the traction make you feel you can go anywhere.

Faults:

I was forced off the road by a driver running a stop sign. I went head on in to a tree at 25-30 mph and the airbag never deployed. The engine block cracked and they say that the car is totaled. I sustained head trauma and a broken left leg, plus severe soft tissue damage to my right leg. The dealer has stated that the G-switch would have set the bag off only at higher speeds. Good thing my belt was on.

General Comments:

This was the best of all cars I've owned up to his point. However to have my life and safety jeopardized, and very little concern shown from dealer, is very disconcerting. I hope that the manufacturer will show a bit more beneficence and attentiveness.
