| All lights on veh flickered off for about 1-2 sec turned on and then quick flicker then on again and remained on. the first time i thought it was a fluke then it occured a total of 3 other times within the year. last was just recently 1/20/2013 and it shut off for a longer period of time maybe 3-4 sec. i was distance traveling on a high traffic highway at night and now see the safety concerns. since the first occurance i have replaced the battery. the entire light panel inside the vehicle as well as the exterior lights are affected. other issues i have experienced since owning the veh in 2002 is the side passenger power lock no longer functions, still does not function. i have had to replace the passenger rear window regulator. in 2007, the glass just fell down one day did not break. placed a stick in door panel to hold up glass and finally replaced it in 2011. | |||

| 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.

| 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. | |||

| 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 lagrge 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 | |||

| While driving headlights turn on &off intermittantly 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. *tr | |||

| I had issues with my headlights flicking on and off, remaining off upon using my turn signal. i own a jeep liberty 2003. i was told the car was not registering any issue on the computer analysis run, on oct 6th upon taking it in however it seemed like a multi-functional switch to the mechanics. the lights literally would go off on their own accord driving on a straight away at times as well. there was also a time they would click high beam, park light, then low beams and out then come back on all by them selves while you are driving. very unsafe and dangerous. i went to tom o'brien jeep, 4630 e. 96th street, indpls, in 46240. and had this replaced on november 4th. however the multi-functional switch and labor cost me 165.00 and the new switch installed was not operating correctly, so i paid that for a bad switch. now when i turn on my switch the headlights, the fog lights and my park lights are all on at the same time. no other way of using my lights. dealership and advisor greg nester, told me they would reorder and that they were not at fault for bad switch but made me pay for labor on a bad switch that is still not working properly. it's now been a month since installing bad switch and i still do not have a correctly light system and multi-function switch has not come in. this is a safety issue jeep should cover. apparently allot of jeeps are having these replaced and dealerships not equipped. *tr | |||

| On several occasions my car has stalled. prior to it stalling it would have power surges, backfire, the rpm needle would go crazy, and then just shut off loosing all power to brakes and steering. stalling would occur mostly at lower rates of speeds (under 50mph). it wouldn't turnover immediately. i would have to wait 20 to 25 seconds each time and then it would start, almost as if the system resets itself. it's pretty scary when you have to young children and your on a freeway and your car all of a sudden stalls. the second problem i'm having is a very loud noise coming from the rear end. i pointed my side mirror down towards my backtire. i watched as the rearend made a load cluncking noise and it was as if the back tire was being pushed outwards. the third problem is my passenger side rear window just dropped into the door. the motor still works i can hear it. and last but no least my left turn signal blinks extremely fast and then sometimes it doesn't. my car is currently at the jeep dealership. i think it's kind of funny that the guy wants to charge me $200 to investigate the problems i'm having to find out what it is. thanks to everyone's complaints i can call him and tell him the problems, as if he didn't already know. goodluck to everyone. *tr | |||
