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.

While driving down the road several times the past month my vehicle has shut down. All lights stay on in car and headlamps etc. But the engine shuts down you lose power steering and when you go to crank the engine over it will do nothing for maybe 5 to 10 seconds before you here the belts and fans start to crank. Had the starter, alternator and battery tested. Replaced the battery and it still does it just not as often.

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 .

First the jeep could not move when we turn on the engine is on, we took it to the dealer and they fixed that problem saying it needed a battery. We let them put the battery in and took it home, next we get in the car to go somewhere, turn on the ignition, and a warning message appeared on the dash board saying low beam head light out we checked the lights on the jeep and they did not come on, the high beam or the low beam. This sounds like an electrical problem to me and that is why I think it should be a recalled vehicles, also, this car is like new because we have not been able to drive it much because of the problems we have had from it. When a car is running and cannot move we know that is a transmission problem, now this! Please help us now!

The headlights on this vehicle are not bright enough to see the road at night or if it raining! Very dangerous, must pull off the road if raining because you can not see the road! Needs to be recalled immediately! How many people need to die before a recall happens?

Headlights very dim. Can't see pedestrians and street signs in the dark. Extremely difficult to see when it is raining at night
