36 Headlights problem of the 2002 Jeep Liberty

Failure Date: 08/01/2012

Where to begin? my airbag light has been coming on for months while driving. I took it to a Chrysler dealership 6 months ago & was charged $100 for them to tell me they didn't know what was wrong. About a month ago, while driving on the highway, my headlights went out, came back on, went out again, and finally I hit my high beams and they stayed on. My engine uses about 2 quarts of oil per week. I have parked on clean surfaces & there is no oil leaking, but it is going somewhere. I can hear a ticking noise coming from the engine area. I called Chrysler's toll-free number today after the headlights went out again, and was informed that my Jeep is under recall for the air bag module, and maybe that is what is causing the lights to go out. This makes no sense to me that one would have anything to do with the other. I told them that I have seen other complaints about the headlights, but they stated that they've had no complaints. I have also replaced front tires three times in the past year for wear on the outside edge. I've had the Jeep aligned, tires rotated as they should be, and they just keep balding on the outer edge. The service tech said that Jeeps eat through tires because of the wheel base? this car has all but eaten up most of my income. It is constantly having issues, and I get nowhere with Chrysler.

38 Headlights problem of the 2003 Jeep Liberty

Failure Date: 07/14/2012

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.

46 Headlights problem of the 2002 Jeep Liberty

While the headlights are on in my 2002 Jeep Liberty they randomly flicker off and on. It's not just one quick click of and on, but it is always a random, numerous pattern of fast clicks off and on. Furthermore, you can not force the replication. This is a huge safety hazard. Sometimes a car turning left in front of me thinks I'm signaling them to go ahead in front of me. Other times at night, they lights just go off for a few seconds and you are driving blind.

No interior lights are effected. I do not drive my Jeep at night, if at all possible. If I do, I travel as close to a tractor trailer, as I can safely get. I will not drive the car out of town anymore. I reported the issue to my dealer's service department, who claimed they have never heard of the problem.

54 Headlights problem of the 2003 Jeep Liberty

Failure Date: 11/17/2010

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.

61 Headlights problem of the 2002 Jeep Liberty

Failure Date: 08/23/2010

2002 Jeep Liberty. Bought new. One owner. At approx 70,000 miles headlights began turning off and on by themselves at random - no pattern whatsoever. May do it several times daily for a week and then not at all for a month. Very dangerous at night due to suddenly you are driving in the dark and also other drivers (or even worse police officers) think you are flashing your lights at them. No one has been able to duplicate, find, or fix this problem. Now at 81,000 miles and have to try and drive mostly during the day - very inconvenient and not always possible. I have read many complaints about the same problem so there needs to be a recall and this needs to be fixed ASAP.

67 Headlights problem of the 2004 Jeep Liberty

Failure Date: 08/19/2009

The headlights of my 2004 Jeep Liberty sporadically blink on and off while I'm driving. This first occurred over a year ago, which I had brought my car to the dealer's service center and was told they could not duplicate the issue. The issue seemed to have been resolved after having to replace the lamps of the headlights a few weeks after; however, has recurred over the past few months. In research I've found on-line discussions of Jeep drivers with the same issue, an issues some communicate they've reported as far back as two years ago. I find it very disturbing the dealer service center was unable to pin point the issue and now very frustrated to learn others have the same concerns and there hasn't been a recall. Please take consideration into this matter to help resolve this very dangerous issue.
