When it rains water leaks into my cargo area filling up my spare tire well. it also soakes the insulation in the sides of vehicle. It has cause a short in the rear ligts on vehicle which I am not sure but could cause a fire or electrical failure. Has there been any recalls for such . Last occured on or about
Vehicle was parked at 10pm. Vehicle ignition was off. Vehicle was locked. Nothing left on. No one returned to the car for annything. Approximately 3 and half hours later, electrical fire started inside the drivers side rear quarter panel under the taillight (on the body, not the taillight on the lift gate) . By the time the car alarm was heard, the fire was spreading from the panel into the rest rear of the vehicle. Fire department arrived and extinguished the fire.
factory headlights are terrible. almost impossible to drive at night and really bad when its raining. talked with local dealer and they said there is no problem. start/stop does not work also.
Car transmission jumps when its starts moving at the beginning makes it feel like someone rear ended the car. This happens Every time. it does not feel safe.
Headlights do not point far enough down the road, making it difficult to see while driving at night especially on country roads or when raining.
I bought my 2015 jeep cherokee about a year ago and less than a month later I was already noticing that the headlights would dim as soon as I would use my turn signal. This continued for about a month until I noticed that the headlights were noticeably dim on both sides. I needed to get out of my car several times to make sure the headlights were even on. Whenever I am driving in a low light area at night it is incredibly dangerous. Something needs to be done about this because this is clearly a defect.
Headlights are too dim, even when using high beams. This was a terrible design flaw that has been changed in recent jeep models, but nothing has been offered to convert previous owner's cars. Jeep needs to be held accountable for this as it's a definite safety hazard when driving at night.
I have had to replace my driver side light bulb 3 times in the past 6 months . I keep spending 60-80$ for these replacements just for it to go out in less than 3 months. My passages side has never gone out , only the driver side . The bulb isn't burnt out , yet it won't turn on . It did this while I was driving in the city at a stop sign waiting to turn out of my neighborhood. Luckily my fog lights, which have never went out on me, help me see the roads at night . I just can't risk driving and getting a ticket for the headlight out but I also can't afford to keep replacing the one bulb that constantly goes out . There isn't any condensation in there either so I'm not sure why it keeps going out .
I've had to replace my low beams 10+ times this year. They keep shorting our. Also have to have my engine thermostat replaced even though it's working fine. It's electrical keeps causing my check engine light to come on. And the fix is replacing something that is fully working. And because my check engine light is on I can't makw it through deq to get tags for my car. This is the 3rd (separate) electrical problem I've had with this car and I'm done. Keep should stand up for their product.
