The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings - full-width frontal crash test , side impact crash test , and rollover resistance . The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

| Defective part or component: |
SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT
|
| Description: |
On certain sport utility vehicles, the constant tension lower control arm ball joints can experience a loss of lubrication that can lead to corrosion, accelerated wear, and possibly separation from the steering knuckle. A ball joint, which has separated from the knuckle, could result in loss of vehicle directional control with minimal advanced warning and could result in a crash. Dealers will replace the front lower control arm ball joints with modified assemblies and heat shields on vehicles built between January 2, 2001 and October 4, 2002. On vehicles built between October 5, 2002 and March 26, 2003, dealers will inspect the ball joint assemblies (and replace as necessary) and install heat shields. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for this campaign. Owners should contact DaimlerChrysler at 1-800-992-1997.

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT
|
| Description: |
On certain trucks, the constant tension front lower ball joints may experience contamination. If the vehicle is operated for an extended period with this condition, the ball joint may eventually experience wear and looseness.

| Summary: |
Limited model comes with V6 engine.
By Mitch McCullough, Editor-in-Chief, NewCarTestDrive.com
An impressive balance of off-road capability and on-road sophistication make the Jeep Liberty the perfect choice for a daily driver that's ready for serious outdoor adventures.
Its go-anywhere capability is what separates the Jeep Liberty from most small SUVs. Called cute-utes by some wags, these small sport-utilities are practical wagons designed for moving people and cargo around town. Ford Escape, Mazda Tribute, Toyota RAV4, and Honda CR-V fall into this category. Designed like cars, they can easily handle inclement weather and unpaved roads. Fold the rear seats down and they'll work fine for carrying gear into the backcountry. But they are not capable off-road vehicles, lacking part-time four-wheel drive, low-range gears and sufficient suspension travel. Try to ford ditches, gullies, rocks, steep inclines, deep mud, and fallen trees in them and you'll be left spinning your wheels.
A few small SUVs, such as the Chevy Tracker, Suzuki Vitara, and Kia Sportage, are somewhat capable off road. Though their engineers have done an admirable job of tuning out vibration, they sacrifice refinement for ruggedness with body-on-frame construction. The ultimate example of this is the Jeep Wrangler, which offers unmatched off-road capability. But the Wrangler's body-on-frame design makes for a rougher ride; there's little room for cargo and few creature comforts. As a daily driver, the Wrangler is not the most practical, though its loyal owners are willing to work around this for its highly focused design.
The new Jeep Liberty offers a remarkably good compromise to bridge these two worlds. |
| Overview: |
Jeep's new Liberty is among the best of the small sport-utilities for drivers who need serious off-road capability on the weekends, but want refinement, practicality, and affordability during the week.
Jeep Liberty is smooth, quiet, and responsive on the road. Turn off the pavement, and it'll go just about anywhere. It'll carry five people and their gear. Fold down the seats and it can move some serious cargo.
