This Year's Model Updates:

The Jeep Liberty gets stability control as standard equipment on all models for 2006. The four-cylinder gas engine has been dropped, however, due to a lack of consumer interest.

Pros:
  • Extremely capable off-road, economical diesel engine option, creative interior design.
Cons:
  • V6 is rather thirsty at the pump, not as "carlike" on the street as most of its competitors.

  • Window Regulators - Keep Breaking - 2006 Jeep Liberty
    By -

    I too wanted one of these vehicles and mine is a CRD - diesel 2006. I loved this vehicle except the rear window regulators broke a year after I leased it. This year both rear window regulators have broken again within 4 months of each other. If Chrysler wont fix it I have no choice but to trade it or sell it and purchase another vehicle.

  • pleasantly surprised - 2006 Jeep Liberty
    By -

    Compared to my Grand Cherokee, the Liberty is easier to park, more agile, and a better size for two people (no one ever rides in the back seats). My wife likes the two grab bars on the passenger side to help with her slight physical handicap. The late 06 models have chrome side strips, chrome luggage racks and chrome wheels. The carbon-brown/black wheel trim is a good color combination with the Atlantic blue body color. I will most likely buy another Liberty in 2009.

  • Wow what a car! - 2006 Jeep Liberty
    By -

    This SUV has been pretty decent. I have not had a problem with this car. I have 41,000 miles on this and had to replace the brakes already. I hate bouncy they are! Fuel is not to bad. If I was to buy a another car it would be a Chevy. Not Dodge

  • 06 Jeep Liberty Renegade Review - 2006 Jeep Liberty
    By -

    Bought this new in the summer of 06 and it has been fantastic. Really fun to drive, lots of power, 4WD system is fantastic and everyone admires the rugged looks of the Liberty Renegade package. No it isnt great on gas, but if you slow down on the highway, its not too bad (hey its not a Corolla!).

  • Liberty Renegade Rocks! - 2006 Jeep Liberty
    By -

    We bought our Jeep Liberty 3 months ago and we love it. The Jeep is more comfortable on pavement than what some reviewers are saying, but this SUV really performs off-road. Weve driven our Jeep on dirt roads, along trails, over tall grass and brush and on the beach. The tough 4x4 handled it all in stride and our 4 speed auto transmission is solid on road and off. The Renegade package makes it look tough and ready for anything, which we really liked. Unlike the other Liberty trims, the Renegade features a flatter hood without the rounded sides which makes it look more like a traditional Jeep. The bolted on fender look and mounted fog lamps adds to the ready for the offroad appearance.

  • Nice SUV if you do the PROPER window fix - 2006 Jeep Liberty
    By -

    I purchased my 2006 3.7 Sport 4WD with full knowledge that the window problem would occur and it did a few weeks after I bought mine. Instead of letting the dealership suck me dry of cash I purchased new steel window internal parts to replace the hideous stock plastic parts that will fail every month. Chrysler knows this but will never admit the parts are junk. Other than that and marginal gas mileage this Jeep does everything a Jeep should do. It pulls a 20 travel trailer, its great off-road, looks good and feels like a real work SUV. People who complain about ride quality probably should have bought a car based SUV this Jeep rides firm and tough because it is built for work.

  • Bad Window Blues - 2006 Jeep Liberty
    By -

    I wanted to buy an American made car for solidarity sake, but Im starting to pay the price. Knock on wood, there hasnt been major drive train problems, but 3 of my 4 power windows have failed. Seems to be a common problem. The power window system has a serious design flaw, causing the window bracket to break and the window to fall down into the door. I’m convinced this is no coincidence, more likely a poorly designed window assembly. At $500 a piece for the dealer to fix, this will be a costly design flaw for me!

  • Surprisingly Great - 2006 Jeep Liberty
    By -

    Having had Jeeps in the family for decades, the Liberty seemed neither fish nor fowl. However, when we needed another vehicle, an unplanned visit to a jeep dealer resulted in a great surprise. The Liberty is one great Jeep. Yes you need to be a Jeep fan, not a trend setter or fashionista. Just someone that mucks around in the country and in the city. WOW what a great little Jeep.

  • Jeep stinks - 2006 Jeep Liberty
    By -

    I downsized from a Nissan Pathfinder that was truly a jem but had too many miles on it. The Jeep is really bouncy and I am embarrassed to have my mother drive with me to shop. The front seats feel like you are sitting in a high chair. The gas mileage is absolutely horrible. I am looking to purchase another foreign SUV for more comfort and reliability. It feels like the transmission has to catch up to the acceleration. Not happy after less than 3 months.
