Have replaced the entire rear tail lights due to the lights not illuminating when brake is pressed. The mechanic indicated he see's this all the time with the jeep cherokee's. There is a problem. I drove around all day not knowing i had no brake lights. This is a problem even after replacing i had to return to have it fixed again. This need to be looked at.

Plastic under the contacts is now deteriorating and cracking due to the heat of the…

I have replaced the rotors with aftermarket slotted and vented rotors 3 more times at a significant expense to me. The dangerous part…
