Headlights are going on and off randomly.
On 3 separate occasions the headlights have flickered on and off and have flickered from brights to normal.
I was leaving from work going about 45 mph, I smelled electrical components burning,before I could pull the Jeep over to the side of the road it shut off unexpectedly leaving me with no power steering and no power brakes,I nearly lost controll of the Jeep,by the time I got to the side of the road the smoke had filled the cabin,the smoke was coming from front drivers side dash. Now I have no headlights,wipers,door locks, radio,alarm,int lights,speedometer,engine light is now on. Mechanic investigated and found that the bcm has a large burn hole in it the size of a silver dollar,I was very glad that my daughter was not in the Jeep with me that day,,.
Headlights begin to flicker off and on then they go out for several seconds while driving in the dark needless to say. Then come back, then continue to flicker off and on numerous times before staying on for a period of time. This can cause a serious accident and is not safe for no one. A recall should be made for Jeep Liberty. After looking up the problem on headlights flickering I noticed that there are many complaints about this issue. Please check into the matter as soon as possible. Thank you sherry gentry.
Driving at night when I heard clicking noises near fuse panel left side of steering wheel column; shortly thereafter headlights flashed on and off for approximately 10 seconds. Problem became intermittent but usually occurred while driving at night. Clicking noises persist near fuse panel and headlights flash off and on. Dealership unable to duplicate problem as they said they have not heard of this particular problem, but they tried swapping headlamp relay with driver's door lock relay. However, this solution did not fix the problem. In fact, clicking noises are now heard every time I drive my Jeep, and the headlights continue to randomly flash on and off. The problem now occurs during the day with headlights on as well as at night. This problem has not yet caused an accident, but driving at night with random flashing headlights creates a safety problem with my visibility and other vehicles on the road. Another area of concern deals with the potential responses from other drivers that believe I am flashing them for an aggressive reason. I found online discussions from others Jeep owners experiencing the same problem, but I have not been able to locate how to fix the problem. Random flashing headlights, out of the control of the driver, presents a huge saefty risk and should be investiaged.
Headlights turn off for a few seconds then back on while speeding up and braking.

Headlights go off & on while driving, accompanied by relay clicking noise.
Headlights go out and hear clicking noise. This is a dangerous flaw. This is intermittient and the dealer can not seem to find the problem. In doing research there is a lag\rge history of this exact problem on the Jeeps from years 2002-2004. The lights finally came on but on a dark curvey hill with cliffs could have caused a injury or fatal crash.
Ever since my issue with the headlights and foglights turning on/off began, I have a constant relay clicking noise to the left side of my steering wheel and my idling rpm's dropped.
The headlights on my Jeep turn themselves on and off randomly. When the lights turn on and off there is a "clicking" noise inside the car near the drivers seat/dashboard. This has been happening since October/November 2010 and after several mechanics have tried to troubleshoot there has been no way to rectify and diagnose the problem since it is an intermittent issue. This is a major safety issue and could cause an accident that could involve many vehicles and maybe death of some passengers and drivers due to the ability not to see my vehicle. I recommend that Chrysler place a recall on this issue ASAP since I am not the only Liberty owner that has this issue. It seems to be affecting liberties crossing over several years in this time frame.
While driving headlights turn on & off intermittently without any action from the driver. This is a dangerous situation when it happens, frequency varies from daily to once a week. Another (related?) action started happening at the same time, also intermittent engine will shut off while driving. Engine will usually restart but not idle without holding the gas pedal down. After turning off and waiting a short time the engine will start and idle fine for a matter of minutes or days.
1. When the headlights are turned on, sometimes they blink at random times. 2. It occurs at random times when the headlights are turned on, could cause problems as sometimes they are turned off completely for seconds and then turn on. 3. Nothing has been done to correct the problem as the car is out of warranty and the dealer will charge me for a diagnostic.
