This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Extremely capable off-road, creative interior design, still a Jeep at heart.
Cons:
  • Thirsty at the gas pump, not as "carlike" as most of its competitors.

  • my jeep - 2003 Jeep Liberty
    By -

    I was pleasently suprised with all aspects of my Jeep Liberty.After testing several entry SUVs my Wife And I were unanimous in our decision to purcase it.It has an eye catching design, comfortable and roomy interior, and handles very well. From the interstate to the red clay back roads of Georgia , it has been a great vehicle.

  • poor rear suspension - 2003 Jeep Liberty
    By -

    plenty of power from v6 but the goodyear wranglers that came on the liberty give very poor traction on anything but dry pavement. at about 8000 km. rear suspension started to bottom out even under light load by 10000km. it was so bad if you filled the gas tank it was enough to make it bottom out.

  • Great Northern Vehicle but! - 2003 Jeep Liberty
    By -

    Ive owned this Jeep since new and its a lot of fun to drive and for the most of it my wife drives it to and from work a two miles total but after it turned 50,000 miles a lot of little things started to loosen up like the front fenders, shift knob etc. Had to replace the alternator twice and went through three batteries. It now has eighty thousand miles and had to have the transmission seals replaced and now the transfer case for the four wheel drive. So if I ever buy one again I will have to BUY the warranty extended plan but what a shame when other vehicles come with a 100 thousand mile and ten year warranty for free.

  • At least Daimler Benz is involved. - 2003 Jeep Liberty

    This is the first domestic auto Ive ever owned, and after 9 months Im still happy. Its only the second year for the Liberty, and unfortunately theyre still working out the bugs. Something behind my passenger airbag rattled until I made the dealership find it. Jeep service is pathetic, and will call all noises and rattles "normal." But it is a solid vehicle. I was surprised how well designed and built it was. Other than the pathetic gas milage (16mpg for a V6???), the Jeep is great.

  • Good value, good off-road qualities - 2003 Jeep Liberty
    By -

    Liberty is fun to drive, stylish exterior, great engine layout and can go anywhere with a family. Great value for the price.

  • Another love my Jeep person - 2003 Jeep Liberty
    By -

    Ive had my Jeep for 8 months, and love it! The rack and pinion steering and the power are fun. The suspension rules, for an on or off road vehicle (done both). This is the first vehicle Ive owned that cheers me up to drive after a rotten day at work. So far no mechanical bugs, I would recommend the Liberty to anyone considering a "cute ute". Its not a soccer mom thing, and the name Sport is appropriate

  • Excellent - 2003 Jeep Liberty

    Good, much more than I expected, better than I was thinking

  • Like it! - 2003 Jeep Liberty
    By -

    Traded in 2002 Escape cuz of electronic problems.So far so good. I think that it handles well, turning radius great, decent sounding stereo. Interior is very cozy, seats are short,seem flimsy and flat tho. The Escape was way more comfy inside but Liberty seems solid. I liked the Escape but got rid of it before warranty expired because dash lights, brake lights...would go out at any time. At dealer multiple times...Like my Liberty and if it stays out of the shop I will be happy!

  • Does What It Says - 2003 Jeep Liberty
    By -

    I live in the mountains and this car has performed well in the past year. Plenty of power when I need it and surprisingly I can brake well with it too. The only issue I had was a leak in the power-stearing fluid hose. It also use a little more storage space. But after a recent insurance revision, the car was rated impecable.

  • GREAT CAR - 2003 Jeep Liberty
    By -

    I have had my Jeep Liberty for 3 weeks. I love the car. The power is good and it handle very well during a snow blizzard. Also the wierdest thing happen to me today. I was in park waiting for someone and the car stalled on me.
