2002 Jeep Liberty KJ review from North America
"3.7 is a huge P.O.S. - rest is OK"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Check engine light came on while driving it home the day I bought it.
I had to replace 2 injectors, 2 plugs and 2 coils. this seemed to cure the problem for about 1 month. then the light was back on. P0304 was the code and dealer said it was my problem now, only 30 days warranty on used car.
Despite the engine light always being on it seemed to run just fine.
General comments?
The thing has plenty of power and is very fun to drive.
However it's handling is very mushy and feels like it's going to tip over a lot.
This jeep gets the worst gas mileage of any SUV I've ever owned. not even close to it's EPA rating.
