THE HEADLIGHTS OF MY 2004 JEEP LIBERTY SPORADICALLY BLINK ON AND OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING. THIS FIRST OCCURRED OVER A YEAR AGO, WHICH I HAD BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALER'S SERVICE CENTER AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. THE ISSUE SEEMED TO HAVE BEEN RESOLVED AFTER HAVING TO REPLACE THE LAMPS OF THE HEADLIGHTS A FEW WEEKS AFTER; HOWEVER, HAS RECURRED OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS. IN RESEARCH I'VE FOUND ON-LINE DISCUSSIONS OF JEEP DRIVERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE, AN ISSUES SOME COMMUNICATE THEY'VE REPORTED AS FAR BACK AS TWO YEARS AGO. I FIND IT VERY DISTURBING THE DEALER SERVICE CENTER WAS UNABLE TO PIN POINT THE ISSUE AND NOW VERY FRUSTRATED TO LEARN OTHERS HAVE THE SAME CONCERNS AND THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL. PLEASE TAKE CONSIDERATION INTO THIS MATTER TO HELP RESOLVE THIS VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. *TR

SUSPENSION:REAR
WHILE TRAVELING ON A CURVY STATE ROUTE, I NOTICED THAT MY JEEP WASN'T HANDLING THE TURNS QUITE AS WELL AS NORMAL. ONCE I ARRIVED IN TOWN, I MADE A STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND WHEN I BEGAN TO MOVE AGAIN, I NOTICED A VERY LOUD GRINDING SOUND NEAR MY PASSENGER SIDE REAR TIRE AND FELT MY VEHICLE BEGIN TO FISHTAIL AS I ACCELERATED MORE. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY COME TO A STOP IN A RESTAURANT PARKING LOT AND INSPECT THE VEHICLE. AT THAT TIME I NOTICED A RUSTED PIECE OF METAL THAT HAD SEPARATED ITSELF FROM THE FRAME AND SWAY BAR. I ALSO INSPECTED THE OTHER SIDE, AND OBSERVED OBVIOUS AND EXCESSIVE CORROSION ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE AS WELL. HAD THE COMPLETE SEPARATION OF THIS PART HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE CURVY ROADS OR ON AN INTERSTATE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, IT WITHOUT A DOUBT WOULD HAVE CAUSED SEVERE VEHICLE DAMAGE AND HAD MAJOR POTENTIAL FOR DRIVER AND PASSENGER INJURY OR EVEN LOSS OF LIFE. FORTUNATELY, THE WORST CASE SCENARIO DIDN'T HAPPEN,BUT, I AM STILL LEFT WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION, AS THIS WAS MY ONLY VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED ON A FLAT BED TOW TRUCK AND IS STILL AWAITING REPAIR. *KB
