"Best Value for Money in a true SUV"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Rear Brake Disc made slight rubbing sound occasionally. Dealer replaced both immediately.

General comments?

We are extremely happy with the Liberty. Power is excellent. I get about 1-2 miles per gallon better than EPA estimates. Turns on a dime.

Ride is a little bit choppy ; but I like an extra couple of PSI in the tires ; so that's my own fault.

The Liberty feels as secure as Tank. Living around Detroit ; the roads are as bad as I have seen anywhere in the country. The Jeep suspension handles the ruts, bumps and holes with authority. You do not get the feeling that the Detroit roads are going to shake the Liberty apart as you do in a even a new car.

The 2-tone leather interior is very cool. Its like driving a retro Mustang as an SUV. Leather Buckets are very comfortable and seating position is great for long trips.

Value for dollar vs other SUVs is like night and day.

I too love my liberty. Sounds like you had a pleasent experience at your dealer, as did I. Most of the people on this website complain about how bad Chrysler dealers are, I found mine very friendly. Enjoy your new Liberty!

I too own a liberty, I am the one that had the paint problem. I have not had good experiences with my dealer. I asked about the brake noise and was told its not problem and not to worry about it. I can't see how you can get good gas mileage out of this heavy toy, you must be doing all highway driving down hill with a tail wind to be happy about it. I love the Jeep, but in town I can see the needle go down as I drive.

I have a 2004 renegade and am also loving the power, suspension, appearance. The only trouble that I have is fuel "consumption" (which by the way is or was a disease).This in no way, at least to this owner negates my desire to drive my Jeep. I'm getting only 15.9 mpg and live in the country where 90% of my driving is highway. I'm going on 2 long distance trips. I will post back if it improves. The looks stares, and appreciated comments along with style and performance make it worth owning.It's like they say "It's a Jeep Thing, You wouldn't understand "

I had a 2003 Jeep Liberty until last February when I lost control on a icy road and totaled it. It protected my son and I well, but the jeep did not survive. Instead of just getting another Liberty.. I got a Grand Cherokee. It's OK, but I really miss my Liberty. It was so much more fun to drive. I'm sure I will be back into a Liberty soon!
