| 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. *tr | |||

| 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. | |||

| 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. | |||
