I originally thought this was a not quite up to speed. Over the years I have learned to really enjoy and respect this car. It loves ice and snow. It has been reliable and not needed an a lot of repairs. We have 160,000 miles on it and plan to go over 200,000. I am even thinking about buying another one or similar someday. Some people don't think the Liberty is a real Jeep, you don't know what you are missing. My primary negative issue is the mileage. It may dream of 20/mpg but it is doubtful it will ever get there.… - 5.0

My 2005 Liberty now has 278,000 miles on it. It is the Limited version with the 2.8L diesel engine and five speed transmission. Power heated seats, man those are nice in winter, and ABS. I ordered the upgraded four wheel system that has two four wheel drive systems in high and one in low gear. I can set it in full time 4x4 and forget it if I wish. I live ten miles from nearest city in WI and sometimes the snow piles up on the roads, and in my driveway. So I needed a good four wheel drive vehicle. This Jeep Liberty has been a blessing. It is now 17 years old and is headed for 300,000 miles by next summer. It has never failed me except when the alternator gave up the ghost. I didn't quite make it to my favorite store for a new alternator. I could not believe that big battery was used up in a 26 mile trip. But there are three commputers in that Jeep so I suspect they pull a lot of amps. Had to get a AAA tow to the shop. An older, simpler car could have gone 40-50 miles on that big battery I installed. So far the only expense has been maintenance related, no major failures except the alternator. I have replaced brakes, and shocks and a few steering parts but the engine and transmission work like new. OOPS, forgot, the rear window quit on me. I have it propped up with a vacuum handle like you might put in the shower. LOL To be open and educational, I use ONLY synthetic lubricants. I change engine oil and filter at 5,000 miles. I have the transmission serviced at a shop so I can get a professional to examine it at about 75,000 miles and insist on synthetic ATF+4. I have towed heavy trailers several times over hundreds of miles, it has not been babied but keeps on ticking. One time I pulled a 3600 pound trailer from OH to WI with not a hint of trouble. I made certain it came with the trailer tow package from the factory. WARNING. That package includes a heavy duty radiator, a cooler for transmission and all the wiring and hitch for towing. You or dealer can bolt on a hitch but it won't have the heavy duty radiator and transmission cooler. The biggest expense has been the timing belt at the 100,000 mile mark. Last time it cost $1400. But if that belt breaks it can damage engine parts and then the cost might be $4000. It is a big job I have been reluctant to tackle but I'm seriously thinking of trying it at the 300,000 mark. I really like this little Liberty, it seems to have a rare personality. So easy to park, good visibility all around. It can hold five people plus five suicases if need be. I had it ziebarted intending to keep it till I am too old to drive. I'll do compression check at 300000 to learn what its like inside and decide whether to run it or have it rebuilt.… - 5.0
