What does it mean when the brake light comes on in a jeep Liberty?
Bad Level Sensor: Your master cylinder is equipped with a brake fluid level sensor. It’s sometimes mounted in the side of the sensor, and is sometimes part of the reservoir cap. If the sensor fails or is going bad, the Parking Brake light will turn on. It can also turn on the Parking Brake light in your dash.

Why is the brake warning light on on my Jeep Liberty?

Why are the warning lights on on my Jeep Patriot?
I have the same problem on my 2009 Jeep Patriot (dashboard lights are on for ABS, ESC). Took it to a good mechanic said module needs to be replaced. Because it’s hard to get at to repair, labor will be half of the $1,000 repair cost. At first I wasn’t going to repair it since car will still run and ouch!
What to do if your Jeep Liberty is having trouble stopping?
If your Liberty is having trouble stopping, or noticeably leaking fluid, don’t drive it. Just have it towed to a mechanic. If you mess up fixing your engine, the vehicle does not move. If you mess up fixing the brakes, it doesn’t stop.
Why does my brake light only come on when I press the brake pedal?
You’ll feel a loss of pressure that manifests itself in the form of a “mushy” brake pedal. If the brake light is only coming on when you push the brakes, that’s a definite indication that the pressure in the brake system is too low. Either the brakes need bled, or there is a leak.
