2002 Jeep Liberty 4WD Limited review from North America
"New Jeep Liberty Limited comes equipped with all the BUGS and whistles!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The body control module went out. The following no longer work:
air conditioning; door locks; odometer; speedometer; steering wheel controls; lights; overhead counsel.
General comments?
No car manufactured today is exempt from operational problems. However, from reading other Jeep Liberty comments, it sounds as though the 2002 Limited comes equipped with more than its fair share of 'bugs'.
The main complaint I have is not with the vehicle or the service department, but with Daimler Chrysler. For whatever reason, there is a national backorder on this part and according to the dealership, "there isn't a release date on this part yet." Does this mean Daimler Chrysler has not made a flaw-free replacement part (for the body control module) to date?
Still, I am completely enamoured with the vehicle. I just hope I can get it back from the shop soon.
