    Sometimes when driving at night with the bright lights on and you pull the lever back to dim them to oncoming traffic the headlights turn off too, literally leaving you in the dark. It happened last night and has happened several times in the past. I feel this is a very dangerous and scary situation that should never happen!

This will happen numerous times in one…

    While driving my 2007 jeep grand cherokee, i experienced a random loss of dashboard lighting, gauges and heater. Have seen multiple post pertaining to exact same issue with many different solution suggestions. Common belief is that best solution is to replace ignition switch (ironically same issue that has been recently recalled by chrysler, but not yet fixed via many dealership's services despite several notices…

    While vehicle is in motion a front dashboard lights would flash for a while and suddenly goes dark including head lights and brake lights. This is not in any correlation with weather, temperature or road conditions. This has been happening randomly and due to safety concern we no longer use the vehicle for a family trip and we do not use the vehicle at night since all electrical components goes off while it is in…

    2007 and newer jeep grand cherokee and laredo has a programming defect in the brake lights. If foot is on the brake, removed then quickly reapplied the brake lights do not come back on. Only the third/center brake light comes on. This only occurs when the headlights are on so you still at least have the taillights. But no right or left bright brake light. Dealer duplicated the problem on all units in their stock.…

    2007 (pre and post) have rear tail light assembles that work intermittently. Jeep replaces(for approximately $200) broken taillight assemblies with new units having the same defect. Their design happens to fail around the 30,000 mile point (by intention?). Jeep will not return broken parts when requested for inspection (they don't want these reaching your office). Light bulbs are not the issue. This known jeep…
