2005 Jeep Liberty lights problems

The brake light doesn't work and the bulb has been replaced. Apparently, since so many other people have reported the same problem in various forums; this is a known problem. It would seem that the contact overheats and melts into the plastic housing, causing a potential fire issue and resulting in no contact to make the light bulb work.

My brake lights continue to have issues/not function, resulting in safety issues and tickets. This time the metal connectors in the brake light assembly have melted plastic around them, so it does not connect with the socket connectors and that means no brake lights. Appears, based on the volume of youtube repair videos, that this is a common safety issue but when I looked at recalls and contacted jeep, it is not an item of concern. The brake lights dont work, that should be a concern.

Head light and interior lights: I have been having a problem with the interior lights coming on and off at random times while driving. This usually happens at night, however it has happened during the day also. Last night I was driving approx. 57 miles per hour at 9:30 pm when the head lights flickered twice. After that the lights went out, I slowed down and pulled over to the shoulder of the road and they came on again. I then started driving and they did it again and again. I then put on the fog lights and prayed I make it to work without crashing. I live in the country so when the lights go out it's dark. I do not want to risk my life with this problem. I purchased my jeep liberty new and I've been very happy with it. I use my vehicle to go to work and I work nights so it's imperative it's safe and in good working order. I'm very concerned and I'm contemplating getting rid of it even though I love it, but my personal safety is #1.....updated 10/20/15
