New member looking for suggestions on my son's first vehicle

My son is about to turn 16, so he will be driving before too long. With all the nuts on the road, mom does not want him to drive a car/smaller vehicle. He has expressed an interest in Jeeps, so I am looking for information.

I am not sure if I used the wrong search wording, but I could not find information on what I am looking for. What are some known trouble areas with the Jeep Liberty? Are there issues with earlier model years that were addressed and resolved with later model years? If you had the chance to do things over, which Liberty would you purchase?

Appreciative of any good advice.

Here is a recent thread that can help answer some of your questions.

I think the Liberty is a good safe vehicle in either the KJ (02-07) or KK (08-12) configurations.
