Where to begin" my airbag light has been coming on for months while driving. I took it to a Chrysler dealership 6 months ago & was charged $100 for them to tell me they didn't know what was wrong. About a month ago, while driving on the highway, my headlights went out, came back on, went out again, and finally I hit my high beams and they stayed on. My engine uses about 2 quarts of oil per week. I have parked on clean surfaces & there is no oil leaking, but it is going somewhere. I can hear a ticking noise coming from the engine area. I called Chrysler's toll-free number today after the headlights went out again, and was informed that my Jeep is under recall for the air bag module, and maybe that is what is causing the lights to go out. This makes no sense to me that one would have anything to do with the other. I told them that I have seen other complaints about the headlights, but they stated that they've had no complaints. I have also replaced front tires three times in the past year for wear on the outside edge. I've had the Jeep aligned, tires rotated as they should be, and they just keep balding on the outer edge. The service tech said that Jeep eat through tires because of the wheel base" this car has all but eaten up most of my income. It is constantly having issues, and I get nowhere with Chrysler.
I began having problems with the electrical system in August. Headlights flicker on and off at will, as well as interior lights. Passenger side headlamp won't come on at all now and interior lights continue to flicker. While pulling into my driveway, passenger side front tire completely separated from the vehicle, leaving me speechless. We have been the only owners of this vehicle and weren't notified of any recalls. Hoping we can get this repaired soon......
Headlights will flash on and off while driving. Headlight and tail light bulbs all burn out at once. Interior lights flash on and off while driving. Back up light switch quit working.
Headlights flash on and off randomly. Hear a clicking/flickering sound on dashboard when it happens. Happens fast--flicker off and then back on within a couple of seconds.

The failure progressed and the lights would remain off for longer periods of time. Additionally, the interior lighting would illuminate independently.

While driving my 2002 Jeep Liberty, the high beam lights click on and off automatically for a few seconds. This has happened a few times on different dates. Now recently I was going around a corner and my interior lights came on, then shut off. Also (may be unrelated) when I turn the volume up or down on the radio the power to the radio/cd unit shuts off then comes back on.
My airbag light intermittently comes on and off and after reading some stuff online they have been deployed even when there's been no accident so I'm very concerned about this matter also my overheads lights periodically have been coming on and off for years.
On 3-16-12, speedometer, headlights, power locks stop functioning. The car turn off on its own. Airbag signal come on and off. Checked all fuses and there is no problem there. Connected it to an obdii reader and nothing if found.
While the headlights are on in my 2002 Jeep Liberty they randomly flicker off and on. It's not just one quick click off and on, but it is always a random, numerous pattern of fast clicks off and on. Furthermore, you can not force the replication. This is a huge safety hazard. Sometimes a car turning left in front of me thinks I'm signaling them to go ahead in front of me. Other times at night, the lights just go off for a few seconds and you are driving blind.

2002 Jeep Liberty. Bought new. One owner. At approx 70,000 miles headlights began turning off and on by themselves at random - no pattern whatsoever. May do it several times daily for a week and then not at all for a month. Very dangerous at night due to suddenly you are driving in the dark and also other drivers (or even worse police officers) think you are flashing your lights at them. No one has been able to duplicate, find, or fix this problem. Now at 81,000 miles and have to try and drive mostly during the day - very inconvenient and not always possible. I have read many complaints about the same problem so there needs to be a recall and this needs to be fixed asap.
The contact owns a 2002 Jeep Liberty. The contact was driving approximately 35 mph with the headlights in activation when the lights began to fail intermittently. The failure would also occur when the engine was turned off. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and an authorized dealer on two different occasions. The headlight switch was replaced and the battery was replaced twice. Currently, the vehicle was being repaired by the dealer. The failure mileage was 118,000.
The lights on my Jeep Liberty turn completely off while driving. The driver must turn on and off the lights to get them to come back on. There is a clicking sound when the problem occurs as if the lights are turning off based on a timer or something. Hard to reproduce this issue, therefore its been hard to diagnose.

When driving my 2002 Jeep Liberty the headlights flicker on and off and sometimes turn off completely. While flickering I hear a clicking noise. To get the lights back on I have to turn them off and on or turn on fog lamps.
Headlights will intermittently go out along with a sound of the relay clicking. This can happen at any speed and can happen multiple times in minutes, and then not for 9 months. Very unsafe.
Headlights of 2002 Jeep Liberty sport have been blinking on and off at random intervals while in use for approximately 3 weeks. A sound inside similar to the sound heard when driver turns the headlights on occurs each time the headlights blink. While in operation, headlights will blink on and off 4 or more times during a 6 mile drive. Was told by Jeep dealership that there was no recall and they were unable to find the issue during a diagnostic.
Headlights click on and off intermittently without warning. Sometimes related to signal use. Concern of safety issue and annoyance to other drivers. This is an ongoing issue that began when odometer reached approximately 99,000 miles.
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.
