The contact owns a 2006 Jeep Liberty. The contact stated that both driver and passenger tail lights had overheated which caused both housing plastic lens to melt from the bulb. The contact also noticed that the wiring harness was also overheated which contributed to the failure. The contact took the vehicle to john elway's claremont Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram(620 auto center dr, claremont, CA 91711) where she given a diagnostic fee to the vehicle inspected, the contact declined the diagnostic fee. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 170,000.
I've to replace the rear tail light assembly 4 times, it keeps blowing out the brake and tail light. I've also had to purchase 5 a/c compessors for this truck and the abs, traction light stays on.
Vehicle was in motion. A CO worker told me my tail light was out and the next day I looked at it and tried to replace the bulb but the bulb was melted and broken inside the lens. The bulb was melted to a piece of plastic inside. . . To some type of fin. This is the driver side tail light. I also had the same problem with the passenger side tail light assembly earlier this year. I replaced the bulb 3 times before I figured out what the problem was. Now the same problem has occured with the driver side tail light assembly. The bulb melted to that fin inside the assembly and could not be removed to replace the bulb. I had to replace the entire tail light assembly again, which is very expensive at $130 each plus the bulbs. This could have caused a fire. . . Or a wreck since my brake lights did not work until this tail light assembly was special ordered and relaced, which took a couple of days to receive. This problem seems like a defect.
The contact owns a 2006 Jeep Liberty. The contact stated that while driving 20 mph, the vehicle emitted a rubber burning smell from the tail lights. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who advised that the cause of the failure was electrical wires from the tail lights. The vehicle was not repaired. Both of the tail lights remained burned. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 54,000 and the current mileage was 55,000.
Left tail light burned out and melted the tail light. It continues to go out and is a safety problem.
My rear tail lights and stop lights bulbs keep burniging out. The rear passenger housing has been replaced free by the dealer. Since then I have had to replace the same housing in less than two years. The rear tail lamp and brake lamp bulbs do not burn the filament the light bulbs actually explode inside the housing or melt the housing. The plugs that hold the bulbs are scorched. I have both the rear lamp and plugs to show the defect. I am not the isolated case: most Liberty owners and some grand cherokee owners have had the same problems. My second complaint is a fuel leak at the connection of the fuel heating element. The filter head where the fuel filter is attached also has a heating elemnt. . The electic plug connection at the head leaked fuel onto the connection. I observed when the ignition was tuned on, the fuel leaked and vaporize as it was being shorted and heated. I disconnected the electric plug. , filled the female receptacle with fuel tank epoxy and rubber plug for good measure. Will be replacing scorched connection and filter head as soon as possible. I will keep all defective parts for your inspecton upon your request thank you.
