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.

  Very Noisy and Bouncy - 2009 Jeep Liberty
  By RJ - March 17 - 10:53 am

  Had it for 3 months. Found it to be too bouncy and noisy, especially when I go over 60mph. Engine sounds like a sewing machine when idling. Interior is very nice.Good quality. At 1500 miles, Im ready to trade it in. Bought it to replace a Nissan Murrano but it is no match for the Murano - gonna look for a new ride.

  outstanding liberty - 2009 Jeep Liberty
  By Frank P - March 8 - 1:40 pm

  Ive driven many Jeeps over the years, from Grand Cherokees,Commanders and XJ Cherokees (my favorite). My fully optioned w/ sky slider roof 09 Liberty LTD is an exceptional vehicle, what the Liberty should have been when the XJ was discontinued. the ride, and handling are greatly improved over the previous iteration Liberty, plenty of room inside, fit and finish improved over even the 08 model. The exterior styling is what a Jeep should be. The Red paint is flawless and it glows in the sunlight. the sky slider roof is an awesome concept with minimal wind noise and it is watertight. All of the creature comfort options make me think of the Libertys big brothers in terms of luxury. Fantastic

  Things to know - 2009 Jeep Liberty
  By herc - June 24 - 10:14 am

  People say they used to drive a crossover and dont like the Liberty ride. The first thing to know is that the Liberty is a real Jeep. It will not ride like a car based crossover. That said, it actually does pretty darn good on regular roads. Our Liberty has 90k miles and the drive train has been solid. No squeaks or rattles. Overall our Jeep has been reliable. Weve owned Hondas and other brands so being objective here. Items that will likely be a problem sooner or later on the Liberty include automatic climate controller, trans cooler, and totally integrated power module (when this goes bad the car seems haunted). Wife loves driving the Liberty year round. We would buy another one.

  Jeep - 2009 Jeep Liberty
  By Jeepers - June 2 - 4:13 am

  I traded in my 97 140k mile Grand Cherokee for the 09 Liberty. In the 140k miles I drove that car it had NO problems. Those who rag on the Libertys gas mileage should go buy themselves a hybrid and keep moving.I was looking for an upper-teens priced SUV that was fun to drive, dependable, and didnt look like a soccer mom drove it. The comparing cars (ie: Rav4, Forester, CR- V) looked and felt unappealing to me. The Liberty drives great and comes with some nice options like the 30GB multimedia storage for mp3s/jpegs, internal CD burner, usb port, voice command, bluetooth, satellite radio, sunroof, ect. The outside is stylish and the off-road capabilities are top of the line. Glad I went Jeep

  Very Impressed! - 2009 Jeep Liberty
  By DayTriper - March 12 - 10:06 am

  All the way around, a perfect vehicle.I have an 1hr commute each way, so comfort and low noise was important to me. My sights were set on the Commander..but the price was high. I wanted professional yet sleek and I wanted the Skys the Limit package with an affordable payment. The Sirius/Nav touch screen plays SAT/AM/FM/CD/DVD..heated leather bucket seats, you warm up,transfer files to an internal 4GB HDD and then press UConnect and call home..its outstanding! I am still texting my bf..which btw..when I said I was getting the Liberty he laughed at me..Well the 2009 Liberty has two Driver memory profiles which stores seat and mirror settings..guess who just entered his Driver 2 setting??

  Great Jeep! - 2009 Jeep Liberty
  By adamgreig3415 - January 17 - 9:33 am

  This is our 2nd Jeep, unfortunately our last Jeep was totaled so this was a replacement, and i love it, the door panel is a little sub-par, but it is a champ in the snow! The tight steering is also a plus. I have never taken it off road, but I love the safety of an SUV. The only problem is there is a low tire warning and there arent any low tires, there may be a problem with the computer. I love the seat cloth, its not like your typical crappy velvet, it is stain resistant, so cloth seats is not a big deal anymore!

  Dont do it. - 2009 Jeep Liberty
  By not impressed - September 15 - 3:06 pm

  Folks got it as a B-day present for me. So it was free and I still dont like it. I drive in -40F temps, the heat often doesnt get the job done on the feet or the dash. Ive actually had ice form on the inside of the windshield. Dealer says "Nothing they can do about it." So its definitely not good for colder climates.

  Jeep - 2009 Jeep Liberty
  By Impressed - July 15 - 2:56 am

  We only have 5,000 miles on it, but its the most impressive, fun to drive vehicle my wife or I have ever owned. Jeep did a great job on every aspect of the design of this vehicle. Its comfortable, roomy, plenty of power, and great looking. The suspension is awesome - soaks up huge bumps without a hiccup or any sort of crashing noise whatsoever. The ride is spectacular on and off road. Engine and tranny are USA made.

  Bought American am "Happy"! - 2009 Jeep Liberty
  By Tom L. - April 15 - 1:00 pm

  We looked at the Honda, crv, to bland, and read about their transmission, and air compressor problems, drove the Liberty and found it to be a great vehicle. Bought for my 20 year old, daughter who attends college in Indiana, wanted a safe 4WD vehicle for her! The Jeep filts the bill. We bought the "Rocky Mountain edition,with the satelite radio, (awesome), and we have a free lifetime powertrain warranty. We also received free oil and filter changes for life. We got total off sticker of $5,135 off sticker. The color is Deep water Blue an option,new Jeep color, the metallic in the paint shines. Looks like it will last a long time, with powertrain warranty we are "Happy"!!!
