"Looks great, sucks gas"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Anytime the seats get a drop of water, flake of snow, or at all wet, they stain with little spots. This is from opening the door in the rain or snow, not a steady exposure, dealer is going to scrub and Scotchgard them, hope this helps. Low tire pressure light has been a pain, even with full tire pressure.

General comments?

I am a lifelong Jeep owner, love the Wrangler, and really liked my 1999 Grand Cherokee. I bought the Liberty because of the 0% financing at the time, and heard a lot of good on them. I should have looked into the gas mileage a little more. I recently took a trip and managed only 16 MPG on the highway, my Grand got almost 20. City driving is around 12. Where in the world the EPA gave them 17 and 22 is beyond me. I asked the dealer what I could do to improve mileage, and he told me to let it sit in the garage!!

You have a problem with your Jeep Liberty if that's all your getting per gal. I have 12,000 miles on mine in six months. I get 18.5 in town and 21 to 21.8 on trips. 12 MPG you definitely have driving issues or you have problems.

I have 7 months and 7000 highway miles on my '05 Liberty Limited 3.7 4x4 automatic. I have not been able to get any better than 15.8 (best). That's using 2wd, OD, and driving purposely very conservatively. I'm calculating my fuel economy between fill-ups. I'm ignoring the on-board computer which usually registers around 14 or 15 mpg. I'm very disappointed.

We leased a 2006 liberty three months ago and the average gas milege is any where from 9 to 11mpg.Called the dealer and they told me to wait till you get 3000 miles on it I will be broke by then. They also told me to put more highway milege on it, but if my route is city only...Where did they get 17/22 from?

2005 Liberty, 30k miles. Roof has leaked since day one. After many trips to local dealer for mould & dampness, the dealer discovered a seam leaking in roof. (It was) repaired and the roof now leaks more. Too many recall problems.

+side great driver crd delivers acceptable mileage 22/30 -- IF I COULD JUST KEEP IT OUT OF THE SHOP.
