"Would own another if I didn't need more cargo space"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Shortly after receiving the car, I noticed that the rear window hatch (above the tailgate) would inexplicably open on its own, especially in wet weather. The dealer was unwilling to fix the problem under warranty on my testimony, and was only fixed after a recall notice came out from the manufacturer.

The seats seem to discolor easily (they are black fabric) if they get wet.

General comments?

I like this vehicle, but it is lacking in much usable space and I use it as a service vehicle for my job. The rear seats do not fold down flat, and when they are in the normal position, the usable rear cargo space is pretty limited by the slanting of the seat backs.

I did find the front seats to be very comfortable for long distance driving. Plenty of lower back support compared to the Dodge Caravans I have previously owned. I also like the maneuverablity and the part time four wheel drive. The brakes seem a little lacking at times, but are generally pretty good. Rear wheel drive sometimes breaks traction on wet pavement or even dry pavement when the weather is very cold (0 - 10 deg F.) and the vehicle is in 2WD mode. Windshield glass seems to have pitted more than my previous vehicles have in same amount of time.

If you have a 2005 Jeep Libert the seats do fold down flat just take out the head rests. Great vehicle!!!
