Excellent purchase, I'll buy another jeep
The A/C compressor was replaced on 2005, the driver recliner-seat lever broke in February 2008.
I'm very happy with my jeep. No complains, excellent car.

The biggest automobile mistake I've ever made
Transmission shifted hard shortly after I bought it; when going from reverse to drive it would clunk into gear, thrusting the vehicle forward immediately. Occasionally shifts hard, and slips on take off and downshifting into first.
Transmission blew with 500kms left on warranty, brought it to a Dodge dealer and they fixed it for free.
Transmission continued to clunk, brought it back to dealer, they told me to change the transmission fluid, transfer case and diff fluids. Did that and $350 later, no change.
Seat recliner handle broke off.
Glove box broke open and won't stay shut.
Rear A/C plug stopped working.
Windshield wipers stopped working.
Interior light turns on sporadically, especially after making right turns and using the turn signal.
A/C Compressor blew. Seized the unit, broke the pulley, shredded the belt and sent crap through the A/C lines.
$3800 later and 2 weeks in the shop it's fixed, but now heat works on occasion, will not work unless vehicle is moving.
Fan modes 1 - 3 stopped working, leaving 4 for heat or A/C. $350 fix.
High pitch whining started coming from beyond the firewall somewhere just recently, I don't even want to know what it is...
Purchasing this vehicle should be avoided at all costs!!!
Complete piece of trash, Dodge deserves to go belly up releasing this kind of crap.
Horrible on gas, average 13MPG at best.
NO interior space! Not recommended if you have kids... even just one. Seats are very uncomfortable.
Poor aerodynamics cause this vehicle to get blown around on windy days, and by oncoming transport trucks.

You should have googled the problem with your heat and A/C fan speed control. I have a 2002 Jeep Liberty Limited too, and mine had the same problem. There is a type of card/resistor block behind the glove box that goes bad, a common problem on many vehicles. It ONLY cost $20 dollars and 10 minutes to replace.
I'll never buy another one
Transmission needed to be rebuilt at 99500kms (luckily still under warranty. Transmission shifts hard still to this day and I wouldn't be surprised if it happened again.
A/C fan died, which blew the A/C compressor, which seized the A/C pulley, which chewed apart the Serpentine belt.
Fan blower resistor broke which left me with the fan only operating at highest capacity.
Seat recliner lever snapped off on drivers seat.
Glove box broke at the hinges falls open randomly while driving.
Rear windshield wiper motor seized.
The Liberty is great in the snow and during adverse road conditions while in 4x4 but rides very rough.
Guzzles gas getting an average of 12mpg.
Interior space is lacking.

Engine failure at 66,000 is not good
Engine failure at 66,000 miles. Coolant mixed with oil. Dealer denied warranty coverage due to oil sludge. Recommended maintenance was performed.
Attractive style.

I've heard that a lot of Chrysler engines have blown head gasket issues.
Never heard of the 3.7 L V-6 having blown head gasket issues, though. That was something that some Neons and Breezes had an issue with in the 1990's.
Too bad there is so little information in this "review". If they gave their vehicle the same lack of attention to detail, the warranty denial based on never changing the oil is probably valid. Engine sludge is not something that the 3.7 L seems to be known for. "Recommended maintenance" does not mean changing oil every once in a while, it means changing it regularly at 3,000 mile intervals.

My seat lever broke; to what/and how did you get it fixed.
