Great car, but go any where and do anything?
What things have gone wrong with the car?
As I drove down a forest road, I got stuck in a mud pool.
To my surprise 3 of the 4 wheels turned bud did not have any grip, the fourth wheel (front right) had grip, but didn't turn at all.
Result: it dug in so deep that it went with it's belly on the floor and it took a monster of a 4x4 tractor to pull it free again.
Is this normal? I expected all four wheels to have power, it seems I have only 3 wheel drive when the going gets tough.
The more worrying thing is that my Liberty flooded within minutes although the underside of all four doors where above the water level, you can understand that I was shocked.
Is this normal? or did somebody at the factory forgot a plug somewhere?
General comments?
I will bring my Liberty to the Dealer next week to check the bottom for leaks, but they are quite reluctant and told me I should contact my insurance company to deal with it.
In the meanwhile I spend 4 days drying the carpet and electrical connectors out, but it is still very damp. (by the way, the electrical connectors are fitted under the carpet, you would expect them a bit higher up in a 4x4 don't you)
Don't get me wrong here, I love my Liberty, that's why I'm shocked about what happened to my car."

I visited my Jeep Dealer today and they had a short look at it, but didn't care at all.
They told me that 95% off all Jeep owners drive them around town and never leave the road and the ones that do some off roading and the ones shown in the brochure are all specially prepared.
So it was quite stupid of me to buy a Jeep and drive it off road because they are not build for it!!!???
So when you buy one they tell you that you are buying a "though off road vehicle" with 60 years of off road experience and if your Liberty falls apart at the first piece of mud you encounter they tell you that you are stupid to take it off the tarmac at all.
I THINK THIS IS A PURE CASE OF MISLEADING ADVERTISING AND THERE MUST BE A LAW TO PROTECT US AS CUSTOMERS FOR THIS KIND OF BULL S***.

I was told that the Liberty has a limited slip rear differential, but maybe I had to fool it by using the hand break

Well there you have it. Do you really think ppl like this even deserve to own a jeep?
