2004 Jeep Liberty

[GeorgeG.]

Anything quirky I should be concerned about with Jeep Liberty's? I'm looking at a used cash car for my daughter and came across this one.

well, it's got a 3.7, so that will grenade without warning, and replacement will run about what they have it listed for, so there's that.

They also love to eat window regulators.

We had them in the shop frequently when I was working at a Dodge dealer. IIRC the majority of them were the CRD cars.

thanks for the heads up!

Both of these.

Get an older escape. Great little SUVs.

Not only that but you'll have to replace it again immediately when they realize it has the wrong tone wheels.

You'd also be really lucky to get 17 mpg out of one. That's all mine was good for. Which isn't horrible for an SUV but these are pretty small. They are RWD or 4wd but Rav4s are about the same size and knock down double that.

Absolutely. Wife's Mustang v6 was having all sorts of issues so we traded it in towards a 2002 Escape back in 2008 and that little thing was great. We have the V6 XLT and it pulled our pop up camper no problems. Sold it at 122,000 miles with zero problems to a FedEx lady driver and got back most of what we paid for it.

Have either of you guys heard of any issues with the 4wd models? I found one with complete maintenance record

Edit: Asking about the Escape 4wd

[Baba Ganoush]

Wouldn't go near them. Horrible vehicles.

Are you referring to the Liberty or Escape? I was asking about the Escape in my earlier post

Last fall I had a Jeep Liberty as a rental vehicle for a week. Biggest POS that I've had to spend time in. Nothing at all that I liked about it.

I've ruled out the jeep liberty...just can't change the title

Sorry, Liberty.

Escapes are fantastic vehicles. My buddy has a '10 limited that's really holding up well.
