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.
The break tail lamp shots out and had to replace the unit twice this year and the was wiring shots to the break light and it cost me $1500 for the break light wiring shot and the tail light assemble. I have had this problem for 3 yrs consecutive and I think it is a safety issue since it is the breaks lighting and their has been multiple complaints about the same issue for this vehicle on line. I think that chrysler should recall all this vehicles and rewire them for free since it is a safety fitcher. The whole break wiring had melted because it had a shot and burnt the bulb sockets and assemble unit

Replaced tail light housing units only to have them go bad again. Wire harness needed to be replaced numeral times, electrical system for doors and windows had to be replaced numeral times. Gauges on dash board wouldn't work half the time. Just had a mva with a deer and extensive damage to the front of the car and no airbags were deployed, the accident was so extensive that the car was totaled!
I've had problems on and off with the power windows, door locks, interior lights and stereo system. The power windows/door locks do not work. Unless I turn the interior dimmer light switch to the off position, the lights stay on. When this is done, I cannot see the displays (I.e., speed, etc.). The stereo system will play and the cd player works; however, I cannot see the display at all --- channels, track #s, etc. All of these issues, except the stereo system, create driving hazards.
I have had issues with my idash lighting going so dim you can't see anything on it and when that happened my power windows stopped working it was like that for about a week then it just fixed its self now a year later and all my power windows don't work again. And the lighting inside the vehicle works one day and not the next. This has happened for about two years off and on
The lights on the vehicle become dull due to the hazing of the plastic causing low lighting
