Liberty 4WD 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 5,350 miles
I have had multiple problems related to the back lights on my 2006 Jeep Liberty renegade 4X4 vehicle. I purchased the car new with no miles on it. Recently, the gas pump was leaking and a valve was installed to stop the oil from leaking. The back light rack had to be replaced twice in two months. The back lights have gone out numerous of times.
