2005 Jeep Liberty Limited review from North America
"Wife loves the jeep, hope its more reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My starter was replaced at 2200Km, but fault of remote start.
Radio replace.
Recall on ball joints.
Recall on torque converter.
Transmission blew so badly at 6800km that it couldn't be rebuilt.
Bad throttle response off idle.
Engine runs poorly every once in a while Reason unknown.
General comments?
The engine has a real bad flat spot off idle which becomes unnerving when trying to turn left through an intersection in a hurry. Too long a time to be turbo lag. It is supposed to have very little or no turbo lag.
Fuel mileage is low for a diesel, but I knew that before buying and still wanted it. Definitely better than the gas job, and love the sound.
I find the head room to be lacking for taller people.
Handles good, not like a sports car, but it is a jeep after all.
