I have done all recalls, (trailer hitch and rear control arms). Radiator, water pump, one coil, ac low pressure sensor, ac coil. Rear diff seal and rear window regulators. 150K miles, crank bearings make a little noise and it burns some oil but should run at least another 50-100K. Authentic Jeep's like to make noise

2003 has 178,200 miles. Changed the alternator, AC compressor and of course a couple of batteries. Local guy advised me to change over to 20/50 oil several years ago. He said would last a long time if I kept the oil changed. I change every 5-6.000 miles, but change every 3,000 now that it is older.

My 2011 jeep liberty had 2-3 owners before me. It looked in perfect condition. Then about a year after driving it [I put 30,000 miles on it], now it has about 100,000 miles, started with oil leak recently . Loss of engine power. Then recently motor completley crapped out. Putting a brand new motor in it. Every car you ever have is going to have issues, be prepared

I have a 2008 Jeep Liberty, V6 2.7L. It has about 201,000 miles and I am the second owner. This car runs amazingly. Since I purchaed it in 2012, I replaced the water pump, serpentine belt, two batteries, a/c compressor, alternator, muffler, resonator pipe, brakes (thrice/ duh), and tires (duh). No major repairs. The engine idles property and says "yes sir" when I turn the ignition. Great vehicle! I can afford a new fancy car, but will try to take this to 300k miles. Wish me luck. (p.s.: my next vehicle in 2026 will be a Jeep).

I bought mine new 2009 Liberty and it has 138k on it. Only minor parts needing replaced like the ac condenser, serpentine belt, brakes. Now I’m looking at an actuator for the hvac system but has been great. A couple years ago we had a terrible ice storm that a lot of people got stranded in overnight. My Liberty got me to my daughter’s school to pick her up and home. Her nickname is FiFi. If I had to buy over again I would. She has taken good care of me. 11 years strong!

I bought my one-owner 2012 Jeep Liberty (second Liberty I've owned) almost two years ago at 105K and it just rolled 128K. The previous owner was an engineer who was meticulous about maintenance and overall care. Aside from oil changes every 5-6K miles, only the brakes have had to be replaced so far. I also pre-emptively had the the transmission and coolant system services performed last spring. These things aren't cheap but worth it if I she gets me to 200K or north of it.

My 2004 Jeep Liberty Sport has 240K miles on it and the tire guys asked to buy it for parts. It is definitely getting harder and harder to find parts for her.
