Overview & Reviews

Finally replacing the boxy Cherokee that has been in production since 1984, the handsome all-new 2002 Jeep Liberty serves as the affordable SUV in Jeep's lineup. Borrowing styling cues from the 1997 Jeep Dakar and 1998 Jeepster concept vehicles, the Liberty is available in two trim levels with your choice of two- or four-wheel drive, a four- or six-cylinder engine and a manual or automatic transmission.

• Extremely capable off-road, creative interior design, still a Jeep at heart.

• Thirsty at the gas pump, not as "car-like" as most of its competitors.

  Jeep Liberty-The Real Story - 2002 Jeep Liberty
  By J.ATL - August 30 - 5:20 am

  I bought my Liberty brand new in 2002. Only has 37,500 miles to date. First major issue to report-- A/C compressor totally choked this summer--2 weeks in the shop, Compressor reported on "National Backorder". Quote to fix $1050 dollars. Chrysler will not help-- noting Jeep is out of warranty. Note-- only 1500 miles out of warranty when the A/C breaks. Despite 4-5 recalls to date, brakes needing readjusted, dead battery replaced, A/C Compressor breakdown and a slighly leaky sunroof-- I still like my Jeep. Chrysler should be happy--they have not done so great on this model.

  Not The Best - 2002 Jeep Liberty
  By ashwallace - August 22 - 10:23 pm

  One of the worse vehicles I have ever driven. I have only had my 2002 jeep for a year and i have had to replace the power steering 2 times, the oil had a leak in it so I had to fix that, we fixed the starter 2 months ago and now it wont start again, the heat went out in it and nobody can seem to find the problem with it. It is not a reliable vehicle and I wouldnt trust it.

  I like my Jeep. - 2002 Jeep Liberty

  I have enjoyed the Liberty! It has a great ride and responsive steering. Handled great in the snow! Much better than the Chevy Silverado 4x4s I have owned. The only major problem I have had was a fuel pump started failing. Dealer replaced it quickly.

  My first Jeep. The ride is awesome nice balance between car and truck. I have 3500 miles and Im getting 20 miles to the gallon just like the sticker says. Not one squeak or rattle. As my daughter says this truck rocks.

  By Kent - July 19 - 2:00 am

  The fit and finish is the best I have experienced of all the new cars I have owned. After 18k miles it has been trouble free. This is outstanding when you consier this is an early production of a new model. No bugs no major recalls, they seemed to get it right on the first try.

  Good 4X4 - 2002 Jeep Liberty
  By R.Beauchamp - June 28 - 1:06 pm

  This has been a great vehicle for me. This vehicle is great for off road and it has enough power to pull a boat. No fast but does very well. Since I bought it I’ve only changed the tires and brakes, the cooling fan ($70.00) and a battery. I have been amazed by the reliability of this Jeep. To be honest I did not expect this from a “Jeep”. The Jeep Grandcherokee is not this reliable. I had one before I bought the Liberty.

  I still like it, but ... - 2002 Jeep Liberty
  By ducque - June 20 - 2:00 am

  After 33000 miles, the Liberty is still easy to like. However, it has been in the shop far too many times. And it still has a small engine running problem that no one seems to be willing or able to fix, even after repeated attempts. Equipped with UNSAFE, terrible tires from the factory. I love to drive it. Its just the right size and has the right features for me. BUT!

  Fantastic Vehicle - 2002 Jeep Liberty
  By Christopher Flood - June 20 - 2:00 am

  I owned and 1990 Cherokee with 150k miles on it when I bought my Green V6 4WD Automatic Jeep Liberty Sport in May 2002, and what an upgrade it is! I have had no issues with the vehicle whatsover. Steers simply and more carlike than many competitors, and handling is very straightforward. It is super sure footed in the winter, and a breeze to drive on and off-road in the spring, summer, and fall. The front seats are comfortable enough to drive between New York City and Columbus Ohio without much discomfort. It is great to tool around town, and it has safely taken me through feet of snow in the mountains of West Virginia.
