I've only had the Liberty for 186 miles and the body control module has already gone bad. It's in the shop as I write this. No speedometer, headlights, air conditioner, power locks. It's a shame that the good feelings about this car lasted only two days.

General Comments:

I hope that this experience is just a fluke because I am really looking forward to driving this car. This is a 4X4 model.

Bought the Liberty in Late Feb. at 1510 miles I had an electrical problem. My speedometer, odometer, wipers, and headlights all stopped working. The dealer had to replace the "body control module"..which required reprogramming. I believe this problem all started after I had left the headlights on after shutting off the vehicle.

Now my rear flip up window latch needs readjusting and my security alarm doesn't work and I am not sure if it ever has... I have never seen the blinking red light near the fuel gauge.

I do not however, have any problems with pulling to the right, although I do notice a slight rattle coming from the brakes on the passenger side front during slower speeds.

Other than all this, I enjoy this vehicle very much... I feel the suspension is great the leather heated seats are wonderful, and the stereo is awesome. The looks are great!

I also have NOT had any problems with my factory installed sunroof.

The rugged off road personality this vehicle has is tough... unlike the Honda and Toyota.

Faults:

Nothing, not even a rattle or a squeak.

The fuel low light doesn't come on until you have about 1.5 gallons left, but that is probably just how it it works.

At first I did not feel the Liberty would be up to the task of replacing the Cherokee. I owned 2 of them and they were very reliable and the most bang for the buck for a small to medium SUV that can honestly up 5000lbs.

The Liberty is a little smaller, but it makes up for that short coming with a much improved ride and a very quiet ride.

The fit and finish is excellent. It seems to be very well made.

Faults:

Transmission seems to be slipping somewhat. I'm glad I bought the extended warranty. The interior seems to be wearing pretty quickly as well. With only 5K on the vehicle, the seats seem to be wearing, which is not good.

General Comments:

Car is good looking and has lot's of pickup with the engine upgrade to 215 HP. It doesn't handle great around corners, but it is an SUV. Interior is nice with the chrome trim, but the fabric used on the doors and seats is unbelievably cheap; couldn't Jeep do better? Overall, I'd have to say that while I still like it, I may have been able to do better with a slightly used car or by shopping around a bit more. Too bad the Toyota RAV 4 is such a female designed car; I'd have bought it instead.
