2004 Jeep Liberty from North America - Comments

I just bought a 2003 jeep renegade, leather, 4x4, skid plates, step rails.. its got everything except the ABS option... doh!!!.. I bought it used so that is not my fault. anyways I'm going to put my 2 cents in on the gas thing. driving style does count. at 65mph I average 22mpg, at 70mph I average 19.5mpg, at 73mph to 75mph I average 17mpg to 18mpg. I find myself doing the speed limit more often. so next ill try all synthetics everywhere the jeep takes oil, and for the hell of it ill install the tornado fuel saver gizmo that has proved to do nothing by independent companies. Laterz.

I have an 05 Renegade, mileage averages 13-14 mpg. I love this vehicle, but consider this is unacceptable and I will soon be selling it. I was expecting the advertised 17-22. I am one of those folks who also purchased a Camry Hybrid and love the 35 mpg city mileage. I just can't justify a gas guzzler like the Liberty.

My wife just gave up her 2004 Toyota Matrix (31 mpg) for a 2006 Jeep Liberty (13 mpg). She thought she would feel more secure in the winter with a 4x4, but never thought of a mistake of 4 mpg in the window sticker. No wonder there was a $2k rebate, Now $3k.

Is there any recourse?

Press the reset on the readout then check your mpg. If still bad, tell your wife not to have a lead foot. I'm an 18 year old teenager who drives a little faster than most, and I get 25mpg on the highway and 18-20 in the city with a loaded Renegade.

I recently bought a 2004 Jeep Liberty and very happy with the way it rides, but unsatisfied with the gas mileage. I filled up the tank and have only driven 50 miles and I am already on 3/4 tank of gas. This makes me regret buying the car because I will have to spend so much money on gas every month and that was totally unexpected.

I own a 2004 Jeep Liberty Limited and have consistently been averaging just over 22mpg; granted most of my commute is highway miles (I've put almost 95,000 miles on the vehicle), a lot also has to do with your driving style. If you drive at 70mph you will get lower mileage than if you drive 65mph.

The carb air sensor is actually called the air intake sensor. It lets the computer know the outside air temp to help determine air/fuel ratio. If it is bad and thinks it is -40 outside, it would cause the truck to run richer. Would be best to have it scanned by a tech to see an actual temp reading.

Well I purchased a 2004 Jeep Liberty. Do I like the vehicle? Yes. Do I like the gas mileage?..."cue dramatic music"...NO!...My God the thing is an absolute pig on gas. I'm sure an Arabian chorus line belts out party tunes every time one of these things are sold. I love the look and feel of the vehicle. But I'm afraid I'm going to have to kiss it goodbye. Anyway, that's my 2 cents... or actually 80 cents if you factor in the rising fuel costs...

I've had a 2002 Jeep Liberty Sport for 7 years (purchased May 2001), and love this vehicle. It drives great, only one problem in 7 years. The a/c compressor gave out last year and had it replaced. I just put some nice new wheels and tires, with a new alignment. With 96k miles, the Jeep drives almost like new. People don't believe the car is 7 years old. Regular oil changes and a tune up have gone a long way!

The biggest complaint it gas mileage, I get between 15-18mpgs, the tank gets around 260 miles per tank.

Would I buy it again, YES! This has been the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned.

Own a Liberty in Mexico on the coast, bought it new in 03 and driven 72,000 miles. The car and warranty along with it's reliability are excellent and it has stayed corrosion free despite being parked in the open 75 yards from the Ocean no mean feat!! Alas the gas consumption at 15L / 100km is appalling. The engine has great torque but is coarse and hates reving. The gas consumption is worse than my Chevrolet Avalanche 5.3LV V8 Vortec for the same driving. With the platicy interiors of the new Liberty let alone the Patriot and Compass, this will be my last Jeep. I will enjoy this one and it's funky look until it expires.
