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.

  terrible - 2009 Jeep Liberty
  By Jen Losurdo - November 3 - 11:47 pm

  I have a 2009 jeep liberty that I have owned for 2 years. The heater core is shot,the jeep squeaks like every day I drive it, the sunroof leaks and my head liner is completely ruined. This is a piece of junk! Bought it from Drivers Village in Syracuse, ny and they had it back there 3 times to fix all this and never did. They sell lemons dont go there!

  By Lisa - December 22 - 8:20 am

  I bought my 2009 Jeep Liberty used 6 months ago. It was on a company lease program for 6 months before that. Since I have owned it the defrost as stopped, the back window gate latch broke and needed replaced and now the BIGGIE the transmission has gone!! and since Im the second owner no life time warranty on it.... Fresh out of college and this is my first car. I researched this car it was my dream car I thought. I hate it....

  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.

  More weight same engine - 2009 Jeep Liberty
  By rkr - February 23 - 8:43 pm

  The car is very comfortable in terms of driving, with a better chassis and suspension. Handling is also very controlled and easy for such a heavy SUV. The engine on the other hand is very slow, and the car feels like it drags even when you are flooring it. In terms of fuel economy, it is not the best either. Some exterior details are overdone, and back end looks somewhat squished (done for ground clearance)

  Its average - 2009 Jeep Liberty
  By adrian - September 26 - 10:00 am

  I have owned it for more than a year and no problems with the powertrain. Little things break all the time, door molding fell off and roof molding which was held on by double stick tape.The truck squeaks like its 20 years old and the dealer cant fix it been there 4 times for that and it wont start sometimes have to keep playing with key in the ignition.
