I install an after market right side tail light assembly on my Jeep liberty, light is “plug and play” during check out I found the whole light assembly was improperly wired so I sent back to Amazon and ordered another from a different supplier when I received it, it was manufactured by the same company Eagle Eyes auto lamps. The safety issue that were experienced The tail light was on the bright element of the light bulb, the brake light was on the dim side of the same bulb The turn signal was the on the dim side of the bulb showing up not any brighter than a side marker light (very dim) Finally the reverse light was also wired on the dim side of the bulb and does not illuminate what’s behind the vehicle when backing up Both items have a Carparts.com inc label on them I called to talk to their technical department at 866‑529‑0412 to make them aware of the of the problem, however the customer service representative would not put my call through to the technical team. Both tail light I received acted the same and would have made my jeep dangerous to be on the road, my old tail light works properly just has a cosmetic crack and will be replaced with oem part already ordered

Headlights will shut off while driving at night. While driving at night the headlights will intermittently shut themselves off and then turn back on approximately 10 to 15 seconds later. I have tried switching the lights completely off and back on to see if the headlights began working but they did not. I have searched the web and this site and found multiple complaints with no resolution or recall. This is a serious safety issue as there is no way to immediately correct the issue while driving or predict when it will occur. The vehicle is in motion when this occurs. The lights will come back on and stay on for a little while and then shut back off again. Sometimes they will flash from low beams to high beams and then shut off which makes it dangerous for the cars that are driving towards me. This has happened on several occasions so far and at this point I am scared to drive at night.

The headlights will go off while driving, so far they have come back on within 5 seconds, however, that is a long time without lights. I purchased the car used about 5 months ago so I do not know whether it was happening to the prior owner. It has happened 6 times since the beginning of september 2015. This car was purchased for my daughter who is turning 16y/o in october. The is dangerous for an experienced driver let alone a new driver. This issue is all over the internet dating back to at least 2008. Why has nothing been done.

I was pulling out of my driveway and the car just shut completely off and I was stuck in the middle of the road. About 10 mins later, it started back up again and drove normally. This is not safe at all and if I was driving on the road, I could have died. I'm scared to drive this car now and I can't afford to go to a mechanic and pay thousands of dollars. From looking online, this is a recurring problem with this car. There should be a recall on this issue. Someone can really lose their life over this.

When returning home from work one evening, my headlights flickered on and off and then completely shut off. I heard a clicking sound down in the dashboard which may have been a relay. After pulling over to the side of the road, I opened my driver's side door and noticed my dome light was out as well. My dashboard lights stayed on while my headlights and dome light was off. This same incident has happened more than 8-10 times. The flickering of headlights annoys drivers ahead of me and I'm concerned they will become raged, not to mention the danger of the headlights going off while driving. I had a jeep dealership investigate and perform a diagnostic test and nothing surfaced. I had them replace the low beam relay since I had read several reports of this same problem on the web and some guessed it may be the relay. Well, I can tell you that the problem is not resolved after replacing the low beam relay as the headlights are still going off. The federal safety agency, please investigate this problem before someone is seriously hurt.

I received two recall notices from jeep in the fall of 2014 for the defective design for the gas tank location on my jeep liberty. I spoke to the local dealer last fall after getting the second notice. I knew it was a waste of time to contact them after only the first mailed notification, since I knew there wouldn't be parts available. I spoke to the dealer on a visit in the fall after the second mailed notification and the local dealer told me the parts would not be available for quite some time. I left them my name and asked them to contact me if the parts were availabel. In january of 2015, I contacted the local dealer again and they chuckled and told me the parts were not available but they could put me on the growing list they kept at the dealership. So I had not even made it onto the local dealer waiting list yet! To make matters worse, I got a call a week later from a chrysler warranty customer center. I called back after the second call and told them that the dealer had laughed at me just two weeks before when I had asked if the parts were available. In addition to the defective gas tank location, my jeep also has the air bags that can inadvertently inflate (supposedly with a few seconds of warning if you happen to be looking at the dashboard and notice a warning light). I got that recall fixed (a very low cost jumper) last fall. I understand that now my jeep may also have a defective trw airbag inflator. I suspect this was the issue all along but chrysler took the cheapest possible route (a jumper). Lastly, I have submitted a formal complaint on the federal safety agency web site concerning my headlights going off by themselves while driving at night. They have done this multiple times and normally come back on within 5 seconds. There are many other complaints for this issue on the federal safety agency site and yet there has been no recall for this without warning issue.

I was driving my vehicle down the highway when my vehicle made a loud popping sound that sounded like it came through the stereo system. I noticed all power to my car went out. The radio, lights, dash, headlights, everything shut off. I went and tried everything. I thought maybe a fuse had blown, not the case. I replaced head lamps, and the lights still didn't work. I changed my steering switch out and have since figured out it must be an electrical issue? I have read many many pages about people with this same issue or very similar. I can no longer drive the vehicle at this time because I don't feel safe in it and its not street safe.
