| Both tailights melted. the inside cover around the bulb melted onto the bulb. the outside cover melted to be concave in shape. i removed the melted inside pieces and replaced the bulbs. i later cracked the right tailight and replaced it. the outside cover of the new right tailight has melted to be concave but still works. in may of 2011 the left tailight brake light bulb was out. i replaced the bulb but it did not work. i replaced the socket and it still didn't work because it was melted so bad. i finally ended up replacing the tailight. the parts guy said there was a notation that if you were replacing the tailight because it melted this new tailight was much better. so, they know the tailights melt but are unwilling to pay for the replacement. | |||

| 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. | |||

| I have had multiple problems related to the back lights on my 2006 jeep liberty renegade 4x4 vehicle. i purchased the car new with no miles on it. recently, the gas pump was leaking and a valve was installed to stop the oil from leaking. the back light rack had to be replaced twice in two months. the back lights have gone out numerous of times. *jb | |||
