Overview & Reviews
For the 2003 Jeep Liberty, a new overhead console, based on that of the Grand Cherokee, includes a unique interface that allows passengers to program the operation of nine convenience and safety items to their own preference. Liberty owners can now personalize several features, including which doors unlock with the first press of the remote keyless entry unlock button, the miles driven between service intervals and the amount of time the headlamps remain on when exiting the vehicle. Finally, an available six-disc in-dash CD player replaces the cargo area mounted unit. Standard four-wheel disc brakes endow the Jeep with improved brake feel on-road, decreased stopping distances and reduced brake fade. Available electrochromic interior and driver-side rearview mirrors help reduce headlight glare from traffic at night, and standard sliding sun visors have been added, which serve to keep the sun out of your eyes by providing added windshield and side glass coverage.
- Extremely capable off-road, creative interior design, still a Jeep at heart.
- Thirsty at the gas pump, not as "carlike" as most of its competitors.

Half Cherokee, Half Wrangler - 2003 Jeep Liberty
By J843 - June 11 - 10:00 amThe Jeep Liberty is a great blend of Grand Cherokee features and Wrangler capabilities. This Jeep is more truck than it is car, so those of you looking for a small SUV that handles like a car need to keep looking. No other SUV except the Wrangler has the off-road capability of this Jeep. It handles well on the road, but it is not a car, and does not even attempt to approach the handling of a car. It is greedy on gas, but the engine is powerful. I have the 2WD Limited version, and Im completely happy with my purchase. I suggest the 4WD Renegade version for those who are going to do serious off- roading.

My Experience - 2003 Jeep Liberty
By bdarnell - June 10 - 11:06 amI have owned my Jeep since 2008 with no major issues. I did have the ball joints replaced on the recall. I also had an issue with the locking mechanism on the back hatch. In my opinion this Jeep runs great and is comfortable. I take this vehicle to work daily for a short commute and have also taken it on long trips. I LOVE my jeep!!

2003 Liberty Sport - 2003 Jeep Liberty
By khurt1 - May 8 - 9:03 pmContrary to many of these negative Liberty reviews, I would like to say we love our Jeep. Milage is ~ 12L/100KM city, 9.5L Hwy loaded. It hauls my 19ft. travel trailer very well. Great in snow and ice. Major repairs: front rack and pinion unit @ ~ 120K kms. Mileage is now at ~ 150K kms. Bought vehicle at the end of 2008. No other major repairs.

Great Jeep - 2003 Jeep Liberty
By Jints72 - March 5 - 2:00 amI bought my Jeep Liberty Limited Edition at the end of 2003. Got great financing and have been generally happy with my purchase. My Liberty is loaded w/ options at a great price. Might I suggest that any one thinking of purchasing a Limited Edition get the Chrome Grill in the front. It makes a big difference in how it looks. Trunk space is kind of limited but other than that its a nice choice for a someone in the market for a mid to small size SUV.

Loved my Jeep but she is no more... - 2003 Jeep Liberty
By Lisa - February 19 - 12:26 pmI absolutely loved my Liberty. Fun to drive, loved the moon roof, leather heated seats (especially in the winter time.) I have, however, rolled it. It rolled about 1.5 times. I just really wanted to say I would buy a Liberty again just for the simple fact that I walked away from the accident. The accident was only 5 days ago and I have very little pain, soreness but completely bearable. Granted, I was wearing my seatbelt and I am young. Felt safe and would recommend the Liberty.

Like the vehicle, but not the service - 2003 Jeep Liberty
By kevin _123456 - January 15 - 2:00 amAt first I was very happy with my Liberty. It had okay acceleration, roomy interior, a great sounding stereo, and a nice over all look. Then I took my car to have the oil change. Chrysler service departments are the worst I have ever experienced. They nickle and dimed me every chance they got, tried to rip me off, offered to do work that wasnt needed, were very unprompt, and rude. It took one hour just to have them start on my car, and I had an appointment. This was at a 5 star service department.

Not Great, but Not Horrible - 2003 Jeep Liberty
By jeepsburgh - January 2 - 2:36 pmThis car has turned out to be what I expected, an inexpensive SUV. The mileage is exactly what was on the sticker. The car performs very well in snow/ice. Some people like the look and some dont. I can transport 3 kids. I can fold the seats down and haul large items (even got a packaged treadmill in there). The interior is OK; however it is populated with cheap plastic. The seats arent the greatest, but they arent the worst. If you did your homework, there shouldnt have been any surprises. Would I get another? No. Am I eager to get rid of mine? No.

My Liberty Sport - 2003 Jeep Liberty
By geck066 - December 3 - 2:00 amI have had this vehicle for over a year now...I love it..Its a blessing in the snow, but its a very heavy vehicle making stopping a bit scary, but I got used to it. I have the anti-lock brakes and the selec-track system in my Jeep. It was well worth the etra money. I like the feeling of being up high and I feel in control of the road. Its very sporty, and my kayaks look great on top.

So Far..........So Mostly Good - 2003 Jeep Liberty
By rgravesjr - November 14 - 2:00 amOriginally went shopping for a Toyota Tacoma 4X4, but couldnt get any extras in them w/o spending megabucks. The Liberty goes through snow like a plow and handles well. I think the front seat cushions could be an inch or two longer. My only real beef is I had it in the shop at 2k miles for a strange turn signal/flasher problem. Fixed under warranty.
