What owners wrote
Once parked the heat sheild came up against the heater core and must have sparked causing it to catch fire under the hood! Needs to be investigated before causing a possible fatal issue
Severe rusting of all suspension components. Rf and lf cv joints rusted beyond repair. Front brake rotors beyond repair. Jeep dealers said vehicle has severe rusting and unsafe to drive. Was told may not be worth repairing. Most jeep liberties are covered under a recall except 2008. Dealer said repairs would be in the thousands.
