My 02 liberty has caused me nothing but problems and i have replaced everything on it down to the engine due to a cracked head and just when i think i can relax the abs light comes on and now the rear gate will not open. I contacted chrysler when the engine was acting up due to my reading about other owners who had similar issues and basically they said since your warranty has expired we can offer "3 free oil changes". Why did i keep it you may ask....basically i could not afford not to. Chrysler does not care. You buy the car and thats the end of it. Also the car creaks when you get into it to. Honestly its sad when you think of it. No one wants to stand behind their products anymore. These 02 libertys are not reliable but they will never admit it. My daughter wants the car but i will not give her these headaches.

I bought a 2002 Jeep Liberty a little over a year ago and have received 1 recall notice. I contacted a repair/service center for the recall. They said they would order the parts and haven't heard from them since. Every day it seems as if I'm having to repair or replace parts on it! I would like to sell it back to Chrysler just for what I paid for it, as I'm tired of dealing with it.

My girlfriend was on net way to work when suddenly the drivers side paneling piece by piece flew at the drivers behind her while on the freeway! She was devastated. Her Windows are one by one slipping into the doors. The thing is falling apart. Can she file a law suit?
