Overview & Reviews

An all-new diesel engine option makes its debut for the 2005 Jeep Liberty. Exterior appearance changes this year include a new front fascia, grille, foglamps, fender flares and body side moldings. Interior upgrades include relocated power window switches, new instrument panel cluster graphics and trim bezels and improved seat comfort. The Renegade model gets a flatter hood, taller grille, off-road foglamps and taillamp guards, as well as functional rock rails and four skid plates. A new six-speed manual transmission replaces last year's five-speed unit.

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

• Gas engines are rather thirsty at the pump, not as "carlike" on the street as most of its competitors, less cargo space than some of its competitors.

  2 Yrs and counting - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By pyt212 - June 22 - 8:30 pm

  Liberty CRD has been fun to drive for over 2 years. Fuel economy has been very good (last tank over 27 mpg). No problems whatsoever. Cant get it away from wife.

  I love my Jeep Liberty although it sucks gas at a time when gas is outrageous. I wish it had a left foot rest and that the power windows were on the door but I love the comfort and maneuverability of the Liberty.

  I wish it were bigger - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By Tom - April 21 - 10:20 am

  The reason I bought my Liberty CRD was for fuel economy and towing. So far the best mileage Ive had was 26 on the highway on I40 through the Appalachians in NC/TN. I wish there were more interior room, though. Theres a transmission hump right where I like to put my foot when Im using cruise control. Its also been in the shop a few times, luckily still under warranty. So far, the EGR valve, torque converter, ball joints, a a glow plug have been replaced. The ball joints and torque converter were recalls, though. I also have a problem when the fuse for the rear wiper blowing at random. I think I might trade it in for the Grand Cherokee CRD when it comes out.

  2005 Jeep Renegade 4X4 - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By Andrew - April 13 - 1:20 am

  I traded in my 2001 Camaro SS for this vehicle. I needed a practical vehicle for every day driving. Its awesome in the snow. I flew by other new vehicles which got stuck in the snow. Its great for when I go shopping with my wife. It has great room and very comfortable. I test drove other vehicles before purchasing this one such as the Chevy Equinox and Mazda 3. The Jeep outperformed both and is much more quiet and smooth on the road. The off road lights are very bright. Forget about xenon lights, these are much brighter! Ground clearance is perfect. Gas mileage is what youd expect from an SUV. As long as you drive it normally its good on gas. I really enjoy driving my new Jeep!!

  2.8 Diesel Sport - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By farout - April 8 - 1:30 pm

  The 2.8 rides more comfortable and feels more stable than the gasoline 3.7 Fuel. MPG is less than expected, but durability should be a far better than the 3.7. The 5 speed automatic is well matched with the 2.8.

  I used to love Jeep, until..... - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By Simone - April 8 - 3:16 am

  I have owned 4 Jeeps and this was my first Liberty. It is only 18 months old with 25,000 miles and I cant tell you how many times it has been in the shop. It had to have the engine taken apart after only a month! It is in the shop now actually for another 7-10 days having the engine taken apart again. Unfortunately I am past the lemon law point and am frustrated because I have always loved my Jeeps, but this is getting ridiculous. I am having all these problems now, what is going to happen as soon as the warranty expires. I dont think I will be able to keep it that long.

  Back Luck w/ Miss Liberty - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By Jeep Lemon - April 7 - 4:26 am

  I previously owned a Wrangler, followed by a full size truck, to now owning the Liberty. I thought it was cool looking when I bought it, and the test drive wasnt so bad. Within 1 week i had major problems. The main one being that the steering is really tight, almost feels like I dont have power steering. Ive been back and forth to the dealers who have yet to fix it. Ive talked to other Liberty owners who had similar problems. The steering makes it hard to control the car, and makes the ride uncomfortable, as well as makes it feel unsafe. Very disappointed with this car and cant wait to get rid of it. Nothing but problems. Looks wise, and off-road capabilities - its a decent lil SUV.

  Indicator Lights! - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By Carplyn Virtue - March 27 - 1:20 pm

  OK. Love the Liberty ... except .... It all started with the Low Tire Pressure light going on intermittently despite adequate tire pressure! The dealer told me to ignore that. Now I have "ESP BAS" on continually for no reason and an "!" light intermittently. The dealer told me on Thursday they are working with the Chrysler engineers on the problem. Bottom line ... its driving me nuts. I have a brand new car with lights on that shouldnt be and can not get it fixed. I should not have to be ignoring what are clearly intended to be warning lights. Under 4000 miles on the vehicle by the way!

  Lemon - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By Lou Szoke - March 23 - 10:56 pm

  My 05 Liberty diesel was in the shop for four of the first six weeks I owned it. It had to be towed 3 times for starting issues and could not be taken though any car wash as it would stall and not start again for 6-8 hours. It had an oil leak which was never fixed and the Chrysler Rep. from St. Louis was as rude and inconsiderate person as I have ever met. This was a very unfortunate situation that could have been handled much differently to keep a loyal Chrysler fan happy. Chrysler needs to take a close look at their customer service issues. Good bye Chrysler, Love my new Toyota!
