2005 Jeep Liberty Tires Problems

“I got out of my car after a 20 minute drive from work and I could smell rubber burning. I stepped to the back of my Jeep and could tell the smell was coming from the back driver side tire so I reached down and touched the wheel and it was so hot it burned by hand. It acted like the brake had locked while I was driving and working against my speed. This is an ongoing problem. Sometimes it acts completely fine and other times it will lock up again and all I can smell is burning rubbing and feel heat coming off the wheel without even touching it.”

Five years later I just drive with the sensor light illuminated since noone (dealer/private garage/tire store) and nothing (add air/new tires/new sensors ($120 each) fixed the problem.”

The dealership fixed the tire pressure sensor, but told me the pulling to the right must be due to road conditions. After reading other customer complaints, I doubt it. When driving at highway speeds it is difficult to maintain in lane. If large tractor-trailer trucks pass this will create even more intense struggle to keep vehicle on the road. …”

“I purchased a 2005 Jeep Liberty limited on 05/23/2006. Prior to taking delivery of the vehicle, I took it for a test drive and I noticed that the vehicle was pulling to the right and was told by the salesperson that it probably just needed an alignment. I received an we owe you for the alignment. The vehicle was taken back to the dealership for the alignment. The mechanic stated on the service slip that after he performed the alignment the Liberty still pulled to the right and he stated that it was due to the crowning of the roadway. The road had nothing to do with it. …”
