Left rear taillight has gone out - replacing the bulb doesn't work. Looks like the housing/socket is partially melted. Also, left front parking light has gone out and changing the bulb has not resolved that either.

Vehicle was in motion. A co worker told me my tail light was out and the next day I looked at it and tried to replace the bulb but the bulb was melted and broken inside the lens. The bulb was melted to a piece of plastic inside...to some type of fin. This is the driver side tail light. I also had the same problem with the passenger side tail light assembly earlier this year. I replaced the bulb 3 times before I figured out what the problem was. Now the same problem has occured with the driver side tail light assembly. The bulb melted to that fin inside the assembly and could not be removed to replace the bulb. I had to replace the entire tail light assembly again, which is very expensive at $130 each plus the bulbs. This could have caused a fire...or a wreck since my brake lights did not work until this tail light assembly was special ordered and relaced, which took a couple of days to receive. This problem seems like a defect.

The brake light switch on my vehicle regularly fails. My mechanic has done this replacement so many times I have lost count. His first try he used a less expensive brake light switch, but since the first time he has only used the manufacturer part. The last replacement lasted 6 weeks.

Headlights flicker when accelerating on dash lights as well, when driving at night when both dash and headlights are used. Also, when the lights are on the heat is also running, it acts like there is a short in the system.

My friend was behind me and noticed my left rear signal indicator and brake lights were not working. I took my car to a shop for repair and was told the electrical system shorted out and melted the components. The shop owner has had other jeep liberty owners come in for the same problem in their cars. He thinks it should be a recall issue. I need to know if this is true.

My daughter was driving and a truck in front of her stopped quickly causing my daughter to slam on brakes to avoid a collision but ended up rear ending the truck. Her airbag deployed and her jeep had to be towed from the site. It has been in the shop since 4/28/14 and was repaired except for the clock spring which is necessary for the new airbag. We have been told that this part is no longer produced or manufactured by any vendor in the country. Therefore, our jeep cannot be released to us which has caused a hardship on our family as well as a hardship for the shop manager as he cannot be paid until the car is released. Because of this I believe that anyone driving a 2006 jeep liberty in the country is possibly at risk due to this device not being readily available in the proper supply channels.
