While driving with the lights on they flicker on & off and there is a loud clicking noise from the steering column. It has happened quite often while driving through town and on the interstate. This is a safety risk, especially if other drivers think that you are flashing your lights at them.

Tl* the contact owns a 2003 jeep liberty. While driving approximately 70 MPH, the headlights and the interior lighting dimmed. The air bag indicator illuminated. The lights came back on after approximately two minutes. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 117,000.
2 weeks after having recall work performed at the dealer, I was driving at night and all of the car lights turned off, the car seemed like it wanted to stall but it did not. This same occurrence has now happen 3 more times.
After turning on the headlights they flicker or go out completely while driving. There is also a loud clicking noise from under the driver side dash board while the lights flicker. I've checked many online websites/community forum sites and there are many postings about this same issue for just about every jeep make, year and model. Many people have referenced issues with the multi-function switch. With the numerous people reporting this dangerous issue (due to the lights going out while driving at night and some people have experienced issues with aggressive driver thinking the person in the jeep was flashing their lights in an aggressive manner) I'm surprised their isn't a recall or technical service bulletin...the local dealerships have confirmed on multiple calls they were not aware of any technical service bulletin for the lighting issue.
Airbag light came on while driving to work. Researched online and saw this has happened in other jeeps.
