I was on my way home from work at 1145pm when out of no wear the headlights went out ? The turning signals worked but headlights went out and wouldnt come back on, this has happened a few other times but when I had the autoshop look at it they couldn't find a issue? Tonight when the headlights shut off I couldnt see anything causing me to go into the ditch and back on the road causing damages to front bumper ,radiator, undercarriage!!! This is a dangerous issue and when I talked to other jeep owners they have the same issues !!! My jeeps been in texas , iowa , new york, florda .... I had a ford with this same issue and they fixed it beacuse it was a safty issue as it was a infernal motherboard issue! Jeep you need to fix the jeeps of buy them back for top book value for their year! Attached is photo of the headlight out and bumper damage.
