2004 Jeep Liberty headlight problems

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

I have a 2004 Jeep Liberty and while DRIVING AND MAKING TURNS, THE STEERING WHEEL MADE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. THE NOISE WAS ALSO HEARD WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. I got woke up this morning with the alarm going off.. no one was around the Jeep.. I know this because I have security cameras.. my husband check the fuse box and inside they were water in the fuse box..which it rain last night and I don’t know how it is getting wet.. my lights are wanted to stay on. And when I turn the ignition off my Jeep off wants to continue running.. I have had it to several different mechanics and no one seems to know exactly what the problem is.. please help me fix this problem..

LIGHTS FLICKER WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT . TEMPORARY LOSS OF SIGHT OF THE ROAD . MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE . I SEE MULITPLE COMPLAINTS WITH NO FIXES , AND NO RECALL. ONLINE SHOWS DIFFERENT MODELS OTHER THAN JEEP LIBERTY WITH THE SAME ISSUE . I AM NOT SURE WHY THEY ARE NOT TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY . SOMEONE COULD DIE GET SERIOUSLY INJURED, ALSO YOU COULD RUN OVER SOMEONE OR ANIMAL WHEN THE BLINDNESS OCCURS IT HAS LAST SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE THE LIGHTS COME BACK ON . TRY TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH COMPLETE BLINDNESS VERY SCARY . THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE AT NIGHT . THE TIME INTERVALS BETWEEN THE FLICKERING VARIES. IF NOTHING IS DONE WHICH I HOPE IS NOT THE CASE IT HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED IN CASE I HAVE AN ACCIDENT DIE OR KILL SOMEONE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

MY HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF FOR ABOUT 5-7 SECONDS BEFORE COMING BACK ON AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DOING 55MPH IN A VERY DARK AREA AND MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD AS THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS AROUND. THIS WAS QUITE SCARY AS I HAD MY 6 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR WITH ME. THE FOLLOWING MORNING MY HEADLIGHTS TURNED ON AND OFF AGAIN 2 TIMES QUICKLY IN A ROW WHILE I WAS ON THE FREEWAY TRAVELING AT 70 MPH. AGAIN MY DAUGHTER WAS WITH ME ON MY WAY TO DAYCARE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I CANNOT SEE THE ROAD AND IT ALSO APPEARS AS IF I AM FLASHING MY LIGHTS AT OTHER DRIVERS. HOPEFULLY WHEN I TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP THIS WEEK IT CAN BE RESOLVED BUT JUDGING ON THE COMPLAINTS HERE IF I CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM THEY CAN'T FIX IT. THIS IS A COMPLETELY RANDOM EVENT THAT HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES NOW AND IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. IT SOUNDS LIKE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM.

OUR JEEP HAS TAKEN TO FLASHING THE HEADLAMPS AND/OR THE FOG LAMPS OFF AT ANY TIME. WHEN SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR LIKELY CAUSES, WE FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE AND COMPLAINTS TO CHRYSLER DEALERS ARE IGNORED. A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION.

SIMPLY ROLLED UP MY WINDOW THEN IT STOPPED AND WINDOW FELL DOWN. TOOK OFF THE DOOR PANEL TO EXAMINE AND THE CABLE STILL MOVED BUT MADE A LOT OF NOISE AND WINDOW DIDN'T MOVE.

THE ONE THAT RECENTLY BROKE IS THE FRONT RIGHT WINDOW. ALSO MY HEAD LAMP IS SHOWING ISSUE WITH NOT COMING ON AND I'VE ALREADY TESTED THE STIRRING COLUMN SWITCH.

THE VEHICLES HEADLIGHTS WILL FLASH ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT WILL BE INTERMITTENT AND LAST FOR 1-5 SECONDS. THEY THEN HAVE ALWAYS COME BACK ON AND STAYED ON BUT WE NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN OR IF THE LIGHTS WILL COME BACK ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND THERE IS ALWAYS A CLICKING SOUND IN THE DASH. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. AFTER SEARCHING THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET IT SEEMS TO BE AN ON GOING PROBLEM COVERING SEVERAL YEARS OF JEEP LIBERTY. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT CHRYSLER HAS NOT BEEN MADE TO FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE. WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN? I GUESS NO ONE WAS KILLED OR MAYBE NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE WERE KILLED YET.

FOR OVER TWO YEARS, MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE FLICKERED. SEVERAL INSTANCES ARE RAPID FIRE, A FEW HAVE BEEN FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. A RELAY TYPE SOUND WILL INDICATE THAT IT IS CLICKING OFF AND ON AS WELL. NO INTERIOR LIGHTS ARE EFFECTED. I DO NOT DRIVE MY JEEP AT NIGHT, IF AT ALL POSSIBLE. IF I DO, I TRAVEL AS CLOSE TO A TRACTOR TRAILER, AS I CAN SAFELY GET. I WILL NOT DRIVE THE CAR OUT OF TOWN ANYMORE. I REPORTED THE ISSUE TO MY DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT, WHO CLAIMED THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM.

AS I PRESS THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON MY REMOTE THE DOOR REMAINS LOCKED. I NEEDED TO HAVE THE DOOR OPENED TO CHANGE THE TAILLIGHTS, BUT THE DOOR COULDN'T OPEN SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SINCE I ONLY OWNED THE TRUCK FOR A YEAR.THEY SAID IT WOULD COST ME ABOUT $200.00 TO OPEN THE DOOR AND CHANGE THE BULB, . BECAUSE THE DOOR ACTUATOR WAS BUSTED.I COULDN'T AFFORD THAT BECAUSE THE BULB ONLY COST ME $5.99. I ONLY WANTED THE DOOR OPEN TO CHANGE THE TAILLIGHT MYSELF.WELL I RETURNED HOME ONLY TO TELL MY NEIGHBOR THE PROBLEM, HE TOOK OFF THE PANEL AND UN LOCKED THE DOOR CHANGED THE BULB IN 10 MINUTES AND TOLD ME THE PROBLEM IS THE PLASTIC HINGE NOT THE ACTUATOR , HE RIGGED A STRING SO THAT I CAN UNLOCK THE DOOR UNTIL I CAN FIND THE PART, BUT NO ONE SELLS THE PART.IT IS A SMALL LATCH THAT UNLOCKS THE DOOR. VERY SIMPLE. THE BEST PART IS NEIGHBOR FIXED IT FOR NOW FOR FREE!!

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. HEADLIGHTS GO OFF AND ON. ALMOST EVERY NIGHT. NO ONE KNOWS WHY IT'S DOING THIS. SOMETIMES FOR 3 TO 5 SECONDS. WE NEED A RECALL ON THIS, TO FIND OUT WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. JEEP DEALERS DON'T HAVE ANSWERS FOR US, BUT THEY CAN CHARGE US $ 75 FOR NOTHING. SOME DAY SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT WHEN LIGHTS DON'T COME BACK ON. DON'T SAY WE DIDN'T WARN YOU.

HEADLIGHTS SPONTANEOUSLY SWITCH OFF THEN BACK ON, SOMETIMES SEVERAL TIMES IN SUCCESSION. THIS OCCURS NEARLY EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS OPERATED WITH LIGHTS ON. INDIVIDUAL EPISODES LAST ANYWHERE FROM 1-5 SEC, OCCUR MULTIPLE TIMES DURING ONE DRIVE INTERVAL. SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISK FOR "BLIND" DRIVING (NO HEADLIGHTS) AND INCORRECT INTERPRETATION OF SIGNALS TO OTHER DRIVERS.

2004 JEEP LIBERTY- THE HEADLIGHTS WILL TURN OFF AND THEN BACK ON WHILE DRIVING AND THERE IS AN AUDIBLE CLICKING SOUND WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT STARTED HAPPENING ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS ABOUT 60,000 MILES ON IT. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THEY BOTH SAY THEY CAN NOT DETERMINE INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS. I JUST GOOGLED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS AMAZING HOW MANY JEEP OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM.
