#21 of 2253 The Jeep Libert is a good vehicle by jefferson1964 Jul 12, 2001 (7:01 am)
As to the post above about black paint. I have owned several black vehicles, Xterra, Honda Civic. I will not buy another black vehicle. The paint does show scratches easily. I had my xterra polished and small black swirles where noticeable afterwards and was never able to get these removed. As to the liberty, I own a fully loaded escape and love it, my father just bought a liberty and loves it! The liberty feels sturdier, interior controls are better, love those door handles and the sound of the door when I closed it. The interior layout fit and finish is good and the exterior styling looks great to me. If i had not purchased the escape in march (after recalls) then the liberty would definately be a top contender. Until i sell my escape (months/years?) i will just have to settle with begging for the keys from my father.

.....if it involves a Jeep product, especially a new Jeep product, this forum will be filled up soon enough just like the Santa Fe section. It amazes me that anyone would take such a chance on a first year model from Jeep based on their past. A past that has been admitted too in this thread (post#7) as having a bad reputation. The post further up(#10) exclaiming that the SALESMEN was saying how Diamler is doing such a good job with the vehicle along with the money they invested. What else did you expect him to say? He WORKS for Diamler! As to those who insist on 'buying American...Diamler is NOT an American car company. No vehicle will be perfect. There will just be different degrees and levels ofproblems. Based on Jeep's past (where fit, finish and reliability haven't been great to say the least) I think the information in post # 17 is only the start. In any event, to those taking the chance....good luck to you!!! I hope things work out!!!

...thanks for the well thought out response. I guess the truth hurts. All I'm saying is be an informed , educated consumer. Good luck anyway.

>>if it involves a Jeep product, especially a new Jeep product, this forum will be filled up soon enough just like the Santa Fe section.<< Maybe, maybe not. So far the only problems I've seen reported in this section include a rough idle, noise with the rear windows down, loose trim items, and very fine scratches in the paint. None of these are catastrophic or even major problems. I truly believe that Jeep (aka DaimlerChrysler) is hell-bent on making sure the Liberty is quality built with a high level of fit and finish. Everything from numerous quality checks on the assembly line to a rolling diagnostics test has been implemented in a brand new state of the art assembly plant, all to make sure the Liberty doesn't suffer the glitches that have plagued Jeep vehicles in the past. I test drove the Liberty and was extremely amazed at how solid and well-built the vehicle is. No rattles, no vibrations, no squeaks. Yes, Jeep has only sold a little more than 10,000 Libertys to date, but so far there have been no recalls. I'm keeping my fingers crossed...

lets wait 6-9 months to see what happens with the liberty instead of just lumping it in with the jeeps of the past. For all the reasons stated in msg 24 amd more, the liberty has wonderful potential. Sure there will always be petty gripes and minor problems, this happens in any car no matter what year of production it is in. somewhere, somehow, someone will always get a lemon as well, again this happens in all car lines. And when that somebody gets the liberty lemon that IS out there somewhere, I'm sure this chat room will be filled with complaints. Again a handful of lemons out of 20,000 units is not even statistically significant.
#27 of 2253 Jeep Liberty Water Leak by acromell Jul 30, 2001 (11:19 am)
I bought a Jeep Liberty about two months ago and noticed something when I drove it in the rain. The floor of the Jeep got wet when drove in heavy rain. I am not sure where the leak is coming from. Has anyone else had this problem?
#28 of 2253 leak by winbro Jul 30, 2001 (11:23 am)
where on the floor? what part of the vehicle?
#29 of 2253 Water Leak by tonysracing Jul 30, 2001 (1:11 pm)
I know that most 4x4's have drain plugs in the interior. My friend has a Toyota 4-Runner that has them. I guess they're there for heavy off-road use when you get in "over your head" so to speak. The Wrangler has them too. I guess it's possible that one is missing or came loose? The only other hole in the floor should be for the shifter? Where exactly is the water coming from or collecting?   Tony
#30 of 2253 Water leak by acromell Jul 30, 2001 (2:06 pm)
It is right in the area of where the passenger's side feet would be. It started off small and the more I drove the worse it got?
