I have a 2010 Jeep Liberty sport and it's headlights continue to go off on me while on the highway and it's only noticeable at night in which is not safe. I've changed both light bulbs in which worked and then went out within 20 mins agai at night on the highway. Then I changed the 30amp/relay. Then I changed the dimmer switch. All of this did not work. Then the dealer changed the windshield that is located on the right hand side and it worked for about a week with the passenger side light going out but working when I shimmy the cord of conductor. But like it did previously it's now not just the passenger light as both lights are again not working. And they are starting to flicker then just goes out altogether to where now the shimmy is no longer effective. Now I've done all I can do on the electrical realm but it seems as though everything I've attempted is just temporary or does not work at all. What is the problem. Please help!

This car has eletrical issues, while driving, the horn started going off on his own. I never use my horn, and can count on 1 hand how many times I used it. The repair cost me over $800. I also had to replace the motor for the rear door, I never use the hatch, and I had to replace. My car is now currently being repair for another electrical issue. The passager door is closed, however the door ajar light is on causing my interior light not to stay on. The passenger door is completely closed- due to this electrical issue my lights will not shut off and will kill the battery. I have also experience both windows decided to open and close while driving on their own. This car is an electrical disaster. I do not drive long distance, just local. Its a 2010 and I have 75, 000 miles on it.

1. seat belt will not latch in rear driver seat to properly restrain child. Chrysler will not cover so child is being latch with a rear driver side shoulder belt connected to the middle seat latch. 2. wheel speed sensor has been replaced twice, causes ABS, ESC and 4WD to stop working. This happens typically while driving either residential or highway roads, random times, temperatures and speeds. 3. door lock actuator has stopped working for the forth time which prevents child safety lock from working. The door cannot lock/unlock other than manually compressing the lock from the inside of the door therefore I have to climb in the back seat to unlock the door or risk my child opening the door while driving. The other three door lock actuators have been replaced, not covered by warranty. 4. the clock loses a minute to two minutes a week. 5. when the car is in off position and keys removed from ignition, the vehicle has electrical surges through the console after sitting for several minutes. The battery has not been run down, I'm not sure where the power is coming from. 6. the vehicle started to lose power on highway and stopped shifting from park to drive, at 80,000 transmission work had to be performed to properly run without risk.

While driving after about 5 - 10 minutes, the battery light on the dash lit up and made a dinging noise. I parked came back out to leave 3 hours later, and the car was completely dead. There was no clicking, no noised when turning the key to start the car. We tried jumping the car with 2 different jump boxes and 1 set of cables. None of those worked. I then had the car towed to dealership service center. They thought it was the alternator, changed it, and I picked the car up from the service center, again 5 minutes into driving the light came on and my car died while driving maybe 10 minutes later on the the thruway. Again, not able to jump the battery so it was towed back to the service center. They thought it might be a faulty alternator, and changed it out. The battery light still came on, and discovered it was the power train control module (tipm) that was failing, and burning through the alternators.

Daughter pulled out of driveway turned left onto street and immediately heard a loud noise and observed the entire dashboard instrumentation panel light up. Wipers came on, doors locked, engine cut off, alarm went off, wiper fluid started spraying and smoke started pouring from under the hood. Fortunately she was able to unlock the doors and get out of the vehicle. Electrical wiring was still smoking 45 minutes after the power finally drained from the battery. Tow truck refused to move the vehicle until a mechanic came to disconnect the battery. Local shop said all the electrical circuitry was burned up or compromised, including the wiring harnesses, ground wires, fused box, tipm, etc. Took vehicle to dealership where it was pronounced unfixable. Insurance company will not cover since fire damage was confined to electrical circuits and Jeep Chrysler sent an investigator to inspect the damage and compensation was denied.

2010 Jeep Liberty sky slider leaking +unsafe roof+ leaking water into vehicle wetting floor and saturating carpets causing slippery feet on gas and break peddles. Water eroding electrical panel where the skyslider power button is..... very dangerous and could cause electrical shock. Leaking skyslider failed repairs at ed voyles Jeep dealership with over 75 service records over 4 replaced skyslider attempts & headliner replaced, I paid for replaced carpet due to deterioration and smell. Chyrlser llc has had many chances to remedy problem @ 101,000 mile repair & made no offer to buy back / trade but promised to fix with each repair. Vehicle was sold to me with a skyslider feature and this skyslider feature is flawed design. I sent dealership the video showing how the top "burps" when doors are closed, so the top has no secure latching features to hold it inplace and when the electrical shorts out do to the exposure to water & there is a probable cause for the top to rip right off the tracts while in motion. Please send someone to investigate the repairs orders of all Jeep Liberty that have skysliders. I wish they would have been honest with me at the dealership and the manufacture representive and just say we cant fix it and we need to replace it with a vehicle that represents our Jeep quality with something to the same feature like the skyslider for the very reason it was purchased! I have a 4 inch binder with all my service records, photos, emails, service reports and happy to mail you a copy. Dealership has done an outstanding job..... but really should have stepped up to protect the consumer when instead they threw in the towel and said there is nothing more they can do to fix the leaking skyslider. Please do a recall investigation of the skyslider leaking. Value of repair exceeds value of purchase... that classifies a total loss by law >>

While my son was driving the car just shut off. Mid drive, which was very unsafe. It stopped in the middle of the road rounding a curve. Attempted to jump the car with no success. Had the car towed to a local garage. They state it an electrical issue that it will be pretty costly. Explained it to me as the motherboard basically for the car. After reading up seems this is a common issue. I would think Jeep would fix this common and costly issue. I will never buy another Jeep.

Tipm failure. The car has shut down multiple times while driving. It has happened while driving in city streets and on highways. The 2010 Jeep Liberty lost all power had to steer to the side to avoid causing any accidents. Pretty scary experience especially when you are pregnant and cares are zooming by 80 miles per hour.

My 2010 Jeep Liberty sport went on fire. I was stopping at a stop sign and all of a sudden the car started to completely malfunction. The care shut off at the stop sign, the horn went off for about 5 minutes, the windsheild wippers went off, all of the doors locked and I saw smoke from the hood. I didnt know what to do and maybe after about 3 minutes of trying to get doors to unlock they finally did I got out and opened the hood and the whole hood was up in flames. Now its a total loss they are only paying off my loan and I am stuck with trying to come up with my own money to buy a new car now I think I should be entilted to a lawsuit I could of died if those doors did not end up unlocking. Every Jeep should be recalled.

"gate" light comes on dash and lights inside vehicle stay on, draining battery and if you lock your vehicle the alarm will go off. It is all caused by water getting into the back window which has bad seals and causes switch to go bad. Replaced year ago and now have to replace again. This is a common issue many Jeep Liberty owners complain. Fix the problem or I will never buy another Jeep.

- Wyoming, MI, USA

My panic alarm went off by itself when I was in the store. I shut it off but now I have a message reading gate ajar and all my interior lights are on. It drained my battery and it would not take a charge. I needed to get a new battery. I am still getting the gate ajar reading and lights stay on. I disconnect my battery when I go to work. I have been reading online and apparently this is an ongoing problem with the Jeep Liberty and not just the 2010.
