Known issues on the 2003 Liberty. Six recalls are on federal record for this model year: side/window air bags that can deploy inadvertently and increase the risk of injury; a fuel-tank leak that in the presence of an ignition source can cause a fire; a suspension condition that can cause a loss of effective lift and lowering of the vehicle; a front lower-control-arm ball joint that can separate from the knuckle and cause a loss of directional control; a front control-arm ball joint whose failure can cause a loss of steering capability; and reduced exterior-lighting visibility that can lead to a crash. Owners have filed 1,731 complaints and Jeep has issued 40 technical service bulletins for the year.

From a routine service interval to a hard-to-trace electrical fault, it keeps you on the correct procedure and specification for your specific 2003 Liberty.
