Exterior Lighting
When driving at night the headlights do not shine down the road far enough to see at a safe distance and using the bright lights is not always practical. This is a safety issue. I have spoken with other jeep owners who experienced the same issue.

Passenger side headlamp does not come on in daytime. At dusk, when the sensor turns on brighter lamps; this passenger side headlamp works. At time, when raining or when i want to be seen, i will manually turn on both headlights. Now the passenger side light will not come on during the day; however it will come on with the automatic dusk feature. I see many "one-sided" daytime running headlamps in the newer model…

I have a 2013 jeep grand cherokee, i have taken my car to the dealership twice now for the engine stalling as i climb a hill and for it kicking into gear when sitting still with my foot still on the brake. The car jerks extremely hard to the point where you think you have been hit by another car. It also does this when switching between the first 3 gears. The first time i took it in, the dealership told me they had…

My 2013 jeep grand cherokee is unsafe to drive above approximately 50 mph due to the headlamps. I have been to the dealer twice to have them adjusted. The dealer made adjustments according to jeep criteria; however, when driving in a dark area it is impossible to see more than approximately 30 feet in front of the vehicle. According to chrysler this is acceptable. I disagree and feel that this makes driving at…

Jeep has an issue with my 2013 jeep cherokee, wherein the electrical system fails, headlight(s) turn off and other systems (radio/nav) reboot. I on my fifth attempted fix for the same issue. Car is still in shop (i am in my third week of a rental). Obviously, headlights that go out on their own (and stay out) is a significant safety issue -- it's more than an annoyance. I have been warned by police already, but…

2013 jeep cherokee laredo. The speedometer and tachometer needles are dark red against a dark slate/black background. Very difficult to see under nighttime conditions and when sun shines into car from the rear. This is added to the fact that the instruments are on the sides of the instrument cluster and that the steering wheel is small. Can't get a full look at these instruments with both eyes at the same time ....…
