Overview & Reviews

Following a redesign last year, the 2009 Jeep Liberty gets additional tweaks to improve handling and braking. Optional package content has also been adjusted, and the Limited trim gets upgraded interior materials.

• Respectable off-road abilities, simple and functional cabin, high towing capacity, decent luggage space, brawny image.

• Weak and thirsty engine, not as carlike to drive as most rivals, subpar interior materials, poor headlight illumination.

  Fed Up and frustrated - 2009 Jeep Liberty
  By Joy - July 4 - 6:13 pm

  Seven months after I Purchased my Jeep Liberty Limited, I started and could not get out of park. The wipers kept going and would not turn off, no lights and nothing on the dash worked.Anyhow I had it towed to the dealer who couldnt pin point the actual problem. I got it back five days after. Now the problem reoccurred for the second time, had to get it towed because Im stuck in P again and again they cant pinpoint the problem. Im afraid to drive it and I am ready to get rid of it. I really liked the Jeep and my other concern is that I still cant find a comfortable seat position to drive. When I use the 4wd on R it wouldnt go anywhere. I wondering if this is an isolated case

  A manly SUV - 2009 Jeep Liberty
  By mark - April 19 - 6:56 pm

  I was able to find a Limited 4WD with great end of the year incentives. I saved thousands and feel I got a great price for a reliable and quite handsome vehicle. I like the rugged looks of this vehicle as well as all of the amenities that come with the Limited package. It rides nice, is quite comfortable and looks so good! I only have two complaints: First, a very short dashboard. Theres no room for paperwork, food, etc. A major complaint is the gas mileage. I know that this is an SUV, but 13mpg in the city and 17mpg on the hwy is pathetic. This is a midsize SUV. I dont beat on this car. Im not fast on the accelerator and I even upgraded to synthetic oil at 3000 miles.

  Trust consumers this is a very nice Jeep - 2009 Jeep Liberty
  By John - February 3 - 1:46 am

  The first thing I want to comment on is how misleading a lot of the "professional reviews" are for the liberty. I have bought many new vehicles over the years and this is the first new vehicle I havent had to return to the dealer for some sort of repair or adjustment. The Jeep handles very well on the highway or back roads. I was concerned over the reviews reporting how under powered the Liberty is... this is very mis- leading, the Liberty has plenty of zip, just not the rocket that some cars are these days. Also it gets knocked for fuel mileage alot, This is a true 4X4 not to be confused with a all wheel drive system that is never really in "four wheel drive" 23mpg for true 4wd is great.
