general problems of the 2004 Jeep Liberty

Tires shake, grind and make a pulsing noise when trying to stop.

I bought a goodyear tire for my Jeep Liberty and the tire failed and upon inspection there was a tear on the side wall of the tire which was unrepairable and had to be replaced . This is a defect in the tire and not from road hazards.

The contact owns a 2004 Jeep Liberty. The contact stated that he can only purchase p215\75\r16 sized tires because there are no snow tires available for his vehicle. There had been no failure to date. The current mileage was 40,000. The consumer stated tried several different departments to obtain the snow tires to no avail was informed by dealer if any alterations were made to the size of the tire the warranty will be null and void.

I was pulling out of a parking spot, where my car was parked. I drove approximately 5 feet and felt like I hit something. I got out of my car and saw that my front passenger's side tire had come off. The tire fell off/rim was damaged, there was fluid leaking from under the car, and there was damage done to the body of the car- fender. All of the tire bearings are being checked/replaced.

- the contact stated that passenger's front side tire was defective. The contact stated that the tire had a big white line on the outside of it, and that the tires never impacted anything.

Identical situation to case # 10091230. While driving on a wet road from previous days rain my 2004 Jeep Liberty lost control while traveling out of a turn at 20 mph and went off the road down an embankment and crashing into a tree. . Read more...

2004 Jeep libery limited 4wd, VIN 1j8-gl58kx4w-255517, tires: goodyear eagle r-sa p235/70r16, mileage: approx. 1,000 (approx 1 month old). Rear end of car skids dangerously in low-speed turns, on normally wet (not puddled) roads, when in 2wd. This has happened several times in the last 3 weeks, always in slow-speed suburban driving. (thank god. ) skid happens when you make either a right or left hand turn, and then apply gas during the middle of the turn (as you do to maintain speed in a low-speed turn) at which time, the rear wheels lose traction and skid to the outside of the turn. I understand the goodyear eagle r-sa tires are poor in the wet traction dept, but this must be a specially-bad batch, because this skid occurs so readily. Dealer service manager (georgetown Jeep, georgetown, CT) admits that wet weather traction is a problem for the Liberty and he says "we advise using 4 wd when the roads are wet. " well this floored me! no one told us that when the car was delivered. And the owners manual does not say this. Chrysler/Jeep says they will not do anything more. They will not have the tires tested, for example.
