Just two years old, the Liberty debuted as a 2002 model. It was significantly improved for 2003 with improved on-road stability. The 2004 model offers further, substantial upgrades in safety equipment, and in comfort and convenience options. For example, Chrysler's Enhanced Accident Response System (EARS), which unlocks doors and turns on interior lights five seconds after an airbag deploys, is standard for 2004. New options include a tire-pressure monitor; and UConnect, a clever bit of hardware and software that integrates your cell phone into the Liberty's stereo system.
The 2004 Jeep Liberty is available in three trim levels: Sport, Limited Edition, and Renegade. Each is offered with two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. Two engines are available: a 2.4-liter inline-4 and a 3.7-liter V6. The four-cylinder engine is available only with a five-speed manual gearbox. The V6 is available with a heavy-duty five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic that was revised last year for smoother, quieter operation.
Sport and Sport 4WD come standard with the four-cylinder engine, five-speed manual transmission, cloth interior, wind-up windows, manually operated mirrors, and 16-inch tires on steel wheels. A six-speaker stereo with CD player is standard. Air conditioning is optional, however. Power windows and other features can be added as options. The optional V6 is available with manual transmission or an automatic.
Limited Edition models offer upgraded interior amenties and a better grade of cloth upholstery. Limited and Limited 4WD come standard with the V6 engine and automatic transmission. Options include a programmable overhead console, power seat adjusters, deep-tint glass, power heated side mirrors, a security group, and an AM/FM/cassette/CD stereo with steering-wheel-mounted audio controls and Infinity speakers.
Renegade is a specialty model with a roof-mounted light bar, rock-rail protection, and black body-side moldings. Renegade 2WD and 4WD models come standard with the V6; heavy-duty five-speed manual transmission; air conditioning; cruise control; tilt steering; 16-inch graphite-painted aluminum wheels; power windows, mirrors, and locks; illuminated keyless entry; roof rack side rails; and many other features. Renegade 4WD models include a skid-plate package. Automatic transmission is optional.
Drivers report the 2004 Jeep Liberty is fun to drive and handles well. They also report that the Liberty gets poor gas mileage.
What owners say
"The 2004 Jeep Liberty has been praised by owners for its toughness, reliability, and compact design. Many drivers appreciate its off-road capabilities and strong towing prowess, with some reporting it's great for city driving and adventures alike. However, a few have noted that the ride can be rough and the gas mileage could be better, with some experiencing issues related to handling and various mechanical components over time."
Best Jeeps for the money. bullet-proof to 250,000 miles.
August 27, 2023Where to start? The amount of options that you can choose from, and models. - automatic transmission with 6 gear for increased gas milage. - rear differential slip. - 4x2 to 4x4 shifting on the fly, up 88 km an hour - small & nimble, amazing turning radius - comfortable, but yet sporty handling for a SUV - factory skid plates - sentry key, electronically coded chip in the key - class III hitch, towing up to 5000 lbs for V6 is the highest in its class I like the first generation rounded shape, that was use for about 6.5 years. It was more recognized as apart of the Jeep family. Must drive it to appreciate it..
February 10, 2008Perfect size. Other than having to replace the batter once when I first bought it, I have NEVER had any problems with my Jeep! Very roomy inside and spacious. Great for a small family. Runs smoothly and makes me feel safe! VERY dependable SUV.

August 9, 2013Absolutely amazing car. Bought it the day it came onto the lot. Extremely reliable and gets great gas mileage for an SUV. The 4WD on this car is unreal, it can push through snow as if it was a Hummer. Take it rock climbing, skiing, everywhere. Yet most commonly it is my commuter vehicle between two jobs and school. Overall amazing vehicle.
November 20, 2011This has been a very dependable car for us for the last 6 years. All we have had to do is replace tires, brakes, and a battery. We just bought a larger SUV crossover to meet our needs now as our family has grown.
April 12, 2015When car gurus asked for my review of the 2004 Jeep liberty I’ll tell you that it’s one of the very best jeeps jeep ever made. It was strong , reliable, tougher than most and it came in a compact desirable style. I loved it very much. It did everything, went everywhere, and it worked out the way it should have. Jeep should revisit the liberty.
October 23, 2023A good city SUV, wheelbase is too short to be comfy over the road. Also, the SWB isn't too good on snow or ice, had to add dedicated snow tires for winter confidence. Bad door trim design captures snow and ice, along with road salt has led to extensive rust even though we do take care of our vehicles.
August 24, 2012Had to replace the Waterpump at 55,000. It cost about $53 for the pump and my wife and I installed it our selfs. Performance is good. I like how it looks. Maintenance isn't to bad just that water pump. I love my Jeep. Definitely want to keep it for awhile.
May 5, 2012Fun to drive great on gas! I will always stick with a Jeep!!! I only have done regular maintenance oil, tires, brakes ( after putting on about 45,000 miles!) one tune-up, and I just replaced the original battery :) I drive alot on the highway so its handles well...and the 4x4 works great when needed for Ohio weather!
September 30, 2008Its a clean car with good reliability that has the ability to go off road if needed. It is great with the winter and in comfortable to drive in all weather conditions. The cars acceleration is normal for a car its size and it handles safe.
