NHTSA Complaint #10370317 — 2006 JEEP LIBERTY

MY REAR TAIL LIGHTS AND STOP LIGHTS BULBS KEEP BURNIGING OUT. THE REAR PASSENGER HOUSING HAS BEEN REPLACED FREE BY THE DEALER. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE SAME HOUSING IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS. THE REAR TAIL LAMP AND BRAKE LAMP BULBS DO NOT BURN THE FILAMENT THE LIGHT BULBS ACTUALLY EXPLODE INSIDE THE HOUSING OR MELT THE HOUSING. THE PLUGS THAT HOLD THE BULBS ARE SCORCHED. I HAVE BOTH THE REAR LAMP AND PLUGS TO SHOW THE DEFECT. I AM NOT THE ISOLATED CASE: MOST LIBERTY OWNERS AND SOME GRAND CHEROKEE OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. MY SECOND COMPLAINT IS A FUEL LEAK AT THE CONNECTION OF THE FUEL HEATING ELEMENT. THE FILTER HEAD WHERE THE FUEL FILTER IS ATTACHED ALSO HAS A HEATING ELEMNT.. THE ELECTIC PLUG CONNECTION AT THE HEAD LEAKED FUEL ONTO THE CONNECTION. I OBSERVED WHEN THE IGNITION WAS TUNED ON, THE FUEL LEAKED AND VAPORIZE AS IT WAS BEING SHORTED AND HEATED. I DISCONNECTED THE ELECTRIC PLUG., FILLED THE FEMALE RECEPTACLE WITH FUEL TANK EPOXY AND RUBBER PLUG FOR GOOD MEASURE. WILL BE REPLACING SCORCHED CONNECTION AND FILTER HEAD AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I WILL KEEP ALL DEFECTIVE PARTS FOR YOUR INSPECTON UPON YOUR REQUEST THANK YOU.
