| Failure of 2009 (drivers side) rear brake light with only 17,000 miles. have noted a number of same make and model car with same drivers side brake light out. took it to dealer but due to cost, replaced blub myself. was told by dealer it could also be an over load on the electrical circut causing premature failure of blub on just that one side. first new car in over 40 years i have had under two years with 17000 miles have just the one side brake light go out. fearful of a bigger problem and possible collision from other cars if they fail to see my brake light. | |||

| When filling gas tank fuel spits back out of tank all over body and me if not standing away from nozzle. this just started happening just as jeep warranty ran out. dealer will not fix problem unless i spend $700 for new tank. i feel this a safety problem that jeep should fix this problem at no charge. i understand there are safety bulletins out on this problem on several models of jeeps. *tr | |||

| I own a 2009 jeep liberty with 2000 miles on it. twice it has suddenly accelerated on it's own when i was starting from a stopped position to pull into a parking space. the first time i was able to stop it using the brakes before it jumped over the curb. the second time it happened so fast i couldn't stop it in time and it hit a large concrete column in front of the parking space. the car suffered quite a lot of body damage and will be in a body shop for 3 or more weeks. i suffered several skin wounds on my hand and arm and a sprained thumb. after talking with several mechanic friends, here is what i think might have happened. in both cases i was making an extreme left turn into a right-slanted parking space from a two-lane aisle. in both cases i had just crossed over a safety bump and stopped to let oncoming traffic go by before i turned. in both cases, it was hot and my air conditioner was turned to high. the combination of the load of the air and the power steering could have been enough to show up a defect in the electronic control throttle sensor software and cause the sudden acceleration. this is the only explanation that i have been able to find. i'm sure it was not driver error. i have driven jeeps for many years and never have had an accident in all my years of driving. i would appreciate your analysis of this problem before it results in more serious accidents for jeep liberty owners. *tr thank you | |||
