We loved the Liberty for its versatility
and off-road qualities
Description / History: Surprisingly adept
outside the road standard with a V6 engine and available with a long list of
amenities, from 2008 to 2012 Jeep Liberty 4x4 enthusiasts attracted wishing to
face all sorts of obstacles.
This five-seat compact SUV employed a
four-wheel drive (4WD) transfer case with two regimes. Add to that a control
downhill speed, generous ground clearance, skid plates and removable wings and
you get a real Jeep competent,
even when it comes time to climb steep slopes or cross rivers.
Note, Liberty has not only been designed to
play in the mud and attack paths. With its folding Sky Slider roof, its
electrical outlet, its navigation system, its heated leather seats and premium
sound chain, it also had a refined side.
In all cases, a 3.7-liter V6 210 horsepower
is found under the hood. It is a good engine, despite its lower power and fuel
economy than most rivals.
Those owners like: robust performance,
versatility inside the upscale amenities, ride comfort, driving reassuring,
good visibility and optional audio.
That the owners do not like: The sound of
tires against pavement, lack of legroom in the front seats and the remoteness
of the shifter, which is located on the right side of the center console.
Main problems: Start your test drive a Jeep
Liberty Used ensuring that his former driver has not made life difficult
outside of the road. Accumulation of sand or sediment at the bottom of the
radiator, grass hanging under the vehicle and mud still present in different
corners are obvious signs of abuse.
In addition, if the automatic transmission
slip or vibrate at low speed, it or the computer that controls may require
repair. In doubt, have it inspected by a certified technician Jeep.
Try to locate oil leakage, especially at
the rear of the tip and around the rear differential. Then see if the engine
warning indicator or system maintenance 4WD lights on the dashboard, and if so,
you must find the cause before purchasing. On the road, knocking could indicate
a suspension component replacement. In addition, if the vehicle hesitates or
has difficulty to change his wheel, beware.
Finally, make sure the proper functioning
of electric locks (using the inner buttons and remote control) and power
windows. Some owners have also reported problems with the air conditioner after
a few years of use.
Verdict: Finding a used Jeep Liberty that
is reliable and fun to drive should be easy if you put your common sense. Be
patient, choose a well kept copy gets the green light technician Jeep and you
will enjoy a solid 4x4 with many skills.
