While driving on any surface, my 4wd manual transmission 2003 jeep liberty pulls strongly to the right. It easily goes off the edge of the road, creating the need for an off road recovery. Dealer rotated the tires, but said that the wheels were aligned properly after an accident, an all wheel alignment was completed but it still pulls severely to the right. To add insult to injury, when applying the brake in the rain or on a wet surface, the tires skid and do not properly slow the vehicle down, so trying to manipulate the vehicle to not skid off the right side of the road into the ditch is difficult without being in at least partial 4wd--and that doesn't even help occasionally.
2003 Jeep Liberty tires complaints

On saturday (3/13/2004) while traveling on i40, the goodyear tire on the rear passenger side of my car began to smoke and less than 10 seconds later completely disintegrated along the perimeter where the tread meets the side. I had my car serviced by a chrysler dealer on 3/08/04 before driving 130 miles to a conference in spruce pines, nc on 3/10/04. It was on the return trip from spruce pines where the tire collapsed. Also, after the tire was changed I stopped (less than 10 miles later) and checked the air pressure in the other three tires and they all showed between 35 and 36 psi of pressure. This incidence was not caused by under-inflatioin as suggested by a local goodyear dealer.
