2002 Jeep Liberty lights complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 53 of 53, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Headlights switch off without intermittently, without command, at random intervals when driving. Appears to occur in conjunction with, or shortly after, using the turn signal. Nothing has yet been done to correct the failure, though I am told the problem is caused by a defective multifunction turn stalk.
Head lights (2002 jeep liberty )blink on and off by themselves.
Without warning the body control module shorts out draining the battery and damaging the multi-control switch on the steering column. Causing the headlights, interiorlights, running lights, windshield wipers, factory electric door locks, and dashboard lights to fail. This can cause a fire resulting in a total vehicle loss or loss of lighting at night while driving causing the driver to loose sight of the road. In rain conditions loss of wipers during driving would cause loss of visibility creating a dangerous driver on the road.

2002 jeep liberty limited. I have replaced the engine, rebuilt the 4 -wheel drive shaft, replaced the A/C condenser and coil, and now the radio, dome lights, power locks are broken. The blower motor resistor has been replaced but now the blower motor is broken. What a lemon from day one. Latches on hatch not working correctly, mold smell from A/C. It is something all the time with this vehicle.
Jeep liberty headlights turn on and off while driving down the road at night. Headlights have repeatedly been blinking on and off for 2 weeks now.
Tl* - the contact owns a 2002 jeep liberty sport. The contact stated that top brake light in the back was corroded and the paint iwas bubbling up. He could not secure the light on the top anymore. The contact was going to take the light off and take pictures. The contact hhad the vehicle since december 2001. The contact believed that thiswas a vehicle defect and a safety hazard. The contact was told by chrysler that the brake light was not under warranty. The current and failure mileage were both 45,000 .
Overhead dome light comes on and radio light dims. Tapping the directional signal turns the light off. This is a recurring problem. Brought in for service but technician could not find the problem.
My car would not start and the door locks where opening and closing, so it had to be towed to the dealer, they said the battery was dead so they needed to replace it and then they would run a test to figure out what was going on. I informed the dealer that for several months my over head lights would come on every so often and I would have to giggle the turn signal to make them go off (sometimes using the turn signal triggers the light to come on). I asked if it could be a short in the steering column and they said no it was just a dead battery. A few days later I noticed the overhead lights on in my car after it got dark outside and they would come on and go off every few minutes. After discussing the recent recall on the front ball bearings with a co-worker I found out that she too had the same problem with the interior lights (2002 model), I then asked another co-worker who owns a 2004 model and he too had this problem. Apparently this is a wide spread issue that needs to be addressed. It is dangerous when this happens especially at night because it distracts the driver. I have also noticed that now my light is out on the shift panel. I think this could be a very serious problem that it leading into other shorts in the car. I feel that because I no longer have a warranty on the vehicle that the dealer is trying to make money on me and this obviously a malfunction in this model.
Major electrical problems....dash went dead, wipers dead, power door locks dead, tail gate latch released, no headlights, no speedometer, all shut off while driving in the rain at night at 65 MPH.
Dealer replaced the front tires twice, and vehicle vibrated while driving at any speed. Also, headlights/ horn/windshield wipers, and the speedometer failed while driving the vehicle. *ak
While driving electrical system stopped functioning ,causing the vehicle to lose brake power/power steering/lights, and engine stalling. Dealer has not determined the cause of problem.
