What owners wrote
A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
Tl* the contact owned a 2007 jeep liberty. While driving approximately 45 MPH attempting to merge off the highway, another vehicle crashed into the rear of the contact's vehicle at a high rate of speed. None of the air bags deployed. The driver sustained back injuries, whiplash, and other unknown injuries. The passenger sustained back injuries and whiplash. Both occupants required medical attention. Upon exiting the vehicle, a fire erupted and the vehicle was destroyed. The fire department extinguished the flames.
Tl* the contact owned a 2007 jeep liberty. While driving at highway speeds, the contact rear ended another vehicle. The front driver and passenger air bags deployed with force. A cloudy, smoke residue emitted inside the vehicle, which burned the front passenger side air bag. A police report was filed. The contact sustained pain to the shoulders, left ankle, and arm. The front passenger sustained neck and back pains. Both occupants received medical treatment.
My 3 year old child was restrained in an evenflo "big kid booster seat" in the rear-middle seat position of a 2007 jeep liberty. They were t-boned by a drunk driver running a red light, and the vehicle rolled-over several times, ultimately landing on the roof. The ems personnel and the emergency room doctors both deemed the child booster seat to be "inadequate" and a "very poor restraint," (as written in my daughter's medical records).
The front driver window goes up crooked and has to be let down and up several times to make it go up correctly. The power windows on my jeep liberty made a pop when going up and the window failed to shut (back passenger); I had to manually lodge it up. A few hours later the right passenger side window did the same thing; however, it also made the door un-operable locking my child in which required him to go out the other door. If there had been a wreck my child could have been trapped inside.
Glass lift plate& motor have both given out at least twice in less than 2 years. It costs over $200 to have the dealer fix it. The window just falls for no reason. Come on we need a break. I don't know about the rest of the world but when I have to pay to fix something and it is very expensive I expect quality.
