I am thinking of buying a Jeep Liberty. There had been a lot of
discussion about this SUV in the newsgroups. I understand overall it
is a pretty good vehicle. There are a couple of things about liberty
that I would like to know. Safety and Reliability.

Safety : How safe is it? I am new to SUVs and I hear that SUVs are
vulnerable to tip over. How is jeep's record on this? How about other
safety features?


Reliability : How reliable is Liberty? I am going to use it only to
commute to and from work and may be some camping. Strictly no rock
climbing or extreme off roading of any sort. If you give Honda a
reliability rating of 10 and a Ford a reliability rating of 4 how
would you rate Liberty? ( Remember no offroading). Does the parts
start malfunctioning after a couple of years? (I hear Nissan Xterra
has this problem )


I am a novice in autos. What is the deal with independent front
suspension and solid rear axle? How does it affect comfort and
reliability?

Thank you all for your help,

Paul Thomas

If you are not going off road, then maybe you should look at SUV's with better
gas milage. Maybe a Toyota Highlander for example. Jeeps are not good on gas.
