So how long had you had your Liberty before you wrote the review? About 3 DAYS??? Give it at least a few MONTHS before you write the review.

I have just bought a 2004 Liberty. It will be my first "American" car ever. Up until now I have only driven Japanese and German marques largely because of worries about build quality. I must admit to being impressed thus far. I really like the way the car looks. It is even able to turn inside my Volkswagen's turning radius. As other reviewers have said the poor fuel economy is the big draw-back with the Liberty.

2004 Jeep Liberty Limited

Summary:

Severe disappointment!

Faults:

Vehicle is reported to be trail rated and that it has a clearance of 8.9". The actual clearance is about 6.4" and the vehicle is not able to navigate over even minor off-road trails. We are very disappointed with not only the vehicle (far cry from our previous Jeep Cherokee) but also the service from Jeep.

General Comments:

We have been attempting to resolve this issue with Jeep; however, we have been advised that we can speak with no other party, but their "customer service reps" and I use that term loosley. They are rude and ill-prepared to address technical issues.

This issue borders on fraudulent advertising and unfair business practices. The vehicle should be "fit for the particular purpose" for which it is purchased and the general public should be able to rely on the specifications that Jeep presents on its vehicles!

I own a Jeep Liberty. I am a former owner of a Jeep Wrangler which I loved, so when the Liberty came out I had to get it. What a mistake! I am deeply disappointed in it. It could have killed me. On September 2003 while driving in a driveway the front wheel came off. The ball joint broke. Then in December I received a recall notice. Luckily I am here to tell everyone about this. I still have not been compensated for the replacement of my ball joint because another mechanic did the repairs. But I will keep trying.

2004 Jeep Liberty Sport 3.7L

Summary:

Great, so far, and reliable 4x4 performance--what you want from a Jeep

General Comments:

The Liberty does not have enough storage places. I had to build a large carpeted box to hold stuff like a fire extinguisher, first aid kit, gloves and the like. As well, the glove box is very small for a SUV.

I am not pleased with the brakes. They are adequate, but should be more beefy for a heavy vehicle like the Liberty.

The transmission housing creeps into the cab. As a result I cannot place my right foot flat on the floor in front of me when I am at idol or in cruise control. The same for the passenger only it is the left foot affected.

The back seats do not lay flat.

The Liberty is hard on gas!

However, so far I am very pleased with the Liberty. It rides more like a truck then other SUV's of comparable sizes that I test drove. I have run it up a 40 degree hill in 20cm of snow in four low and had to hit the brakes at the crest. There is lots of power and lots of torque!

It is stylish. My first modification will be a "lift kit".

Almost instant heat--here in Canada's North Eastern area that feature is great!

Lots of head room (I am 6 feet tall) and a nice view of the road from the cockpit.

Lot's of SUV owners complain about fuel mileage. I recommend they stop their whining and live with it; or get rid of it and get a car or minivan.

To go with the first comment. Get a four cylinder if you want great gas mileage.

Why not buy a diesel the 2.8 CRD that I own is great on the fuel and allthough it is noisier than other diesels I have had it has lots of power in reserve when you need it.

So what if its not quick, but hey I never bought a jeep to be a racing driver I bough it for its great off road ability.

2004 Jeep Liberty Limited V6

Summary:

Great vehicle, if it would just drive straight

Faults:

From the first day we took it home, there was a pull to the right. sometimes harder than others. The dealer did an aligment to correct the problem, but it still persists today. Have taken it back three times and am taking it back again.

General Comments:

Other than the pulling to the right, the Liberty is a great vehicle. Nice ride, comfortable, easy to get around in.

As for the pulling, have them check the lower ball joint. There is a recall going out on the 02-03 Liberty's. It shouldn't affect you, but it sounds like they might have accidentally put a bad one in yours.

Jeep On!

I had the same problem with my Jeep Liberty. I solved this by relocating the Battery. There is more space and less heat for the Battery problem if you relocate the Battery to underneath the Air Filter Box. I hope this helps.
