hrm I'm not sure buying a liberty to have "less issues" was the way to go :o

An American made mid-size SUV with less issues than a Toyota/Lexus? Hmmm... Good luck!

Newbsauce 08-24-2007 11:34 AM

Ah my friend is a jeep mechanic, and as far as the issues, most have been weeded out in 2k3-4. This one is under B-Bumper warranty until 36k (it has 18k) and powertrain 7/70

I'm glad you got both light packages. That way you'll have no trouble seeing the road on those dark DC nights.

My sister's Jeep has had 0 mechanical failures with 80k miles to date.
I drove it two weeks ago; didn't care for it compared to my explorer. I thought the steering was vauge, engine was unresponsive, and the diff whined.

Jeep huh? last jeep I drove had steering like a school bus.

did this model year fix the problem where they slide on the roof after lane changes?

how could you have the heart to get rid of the lexus for that thing you call a car!?!?!? Anyways as long as you like it then thats all that matters.

Newbsauce 08-24-2007 01:19 PM

My lexus had 85k miles and I sold it for like 2.5k less then I paid 3 years later. Sorry it does not appeal to me to own two 3" off the ground RWD cars anymore. As far as my "issues" with the Lexus they were not mechanical. People kept keying/hitting/and fucking up my Lexus.

Philip 08-24-2007 01:23 PM

nobody will fuck with a liberty, they expect a 30 something soccor mom to be driving (badly)

So the issues you had with the Lexus were intentionally created. Hopefully you have some sort of a warranty with that shitbox.

I own no VW. You know how I feel about them.

My parents have a liberty with ~40K miles, it's an '02, first year they were out. No major problems yet. Just don't take it to a dealer for service, we've had plenty of bad experience, though I suppose that goes w/o saying on this forum. I'm curious, does the rear differential have a rubber stopper for it's filler hole? We just found out a couple weeks ago that is the case on my parents'. Quite shocking for a vehicle that should be good up to it's headlights in water.

:bowrofl:

srsly? that 4 door minivan?

messiahx 08-24-2007 03:00 PM

Well that's what was advertised. Hell if I know how that'd hold up. It's been raining for a week straight here, maybe I should go find a nice ditch and try it :)

I think you just wanted a car with a backseat for your "other" work. :gay:

Braineack 08-24-2007 03:16 PM

i think he really wanted a car he could trust in inclement weather and something that could pull the miata if need be.

The least he could do is offer them service in a stepvan.
