The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at night, it was difficult to see the roadway clearly. The contact stated that she had issues with cataracts and attributed the lack of illumination on the road to her condition. The contact stated that she avoided driving at night until she had to attend an event at night and asked her son to drive. The contact’s son also witnessed the lack of illumination on the roadway from the headlights. The contact stated that after returning to the residence, the contact’s son parked the vehicle facing a wall, and both observed that the passenger’s side headlamp was illuminating the driveway directly below and in front of the vehicle, and the driver's side headlight was illuminating the trees. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer, and the headlight assemblies were taken apart and then reinstalled and recalibrated. The contact stated that the dealer was unable to repair the headlights and stated that there was a fault in the headlamp assemblies that could not be repaired. The contact stated that the same dealer had replaced both headlamps in 2019 due to a failure to operate as needed. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 75,875.
1) The valve body-electrical 2) my car stopped in the middle of the road the while driving with my kids. When I placed car in park it would not go back in drive, but the dash kept blinking that the car was in drive. The issue prevented me from turning the car off so i had to unplug the battery to ensure the battery wouldnt die. 3)The problem has been confirmed by a dealer 4) Vehicle hasnt been inspected by police or insurance rep 5)no warnings or symptoms prior to the problem.
While driven the vehicle, the head of the driver front seat opened and broke where you can see the broken plastic support in the interior. After a month the head of the seat of the passenger were broke in the same way. They were open and broke and expose the interior of the head seat noticed the plastic pin support broken.,06
Turn signal malfunction. Right turn signal will not reset. Vehicle indicates a continuous right turn signal when in operation. Have had at least two instances where traffic has pulled out in front of me assuming I was intending to make a right turn. Dealer has diagnosed the problem to be a defective AIR BAG CLOCKSPRING (Jeep part number 1NJ70DX9AI). Copy of dealer inspection and repair report attached
The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH, the contact became aware that the headlights illumination was very dim. The contact checked to verify that the headlight was in the on position. The contact stated the high beam was activated and the vehicle then lost headlights functionality temporarily before regaining headlights functionality. On another occasion, she drove over a speed bump and the high beam headlights turned on independently. The vehicle was taking to the dealer several times but no cause for the failure was found. The manufacturer was contacted and a complaint was filed. The failure mileage was 59,000. The contact stated that the solution was to replace the headlight bulbs and repairs have been made.
Over the course of several years' use, the OEM HID headlights lenses have been burnt by the OEM headlights which has incrementally diminished the headlight effectiveness. There is a frost like haze that has been burnt into the interior of the lens. This should be covered by the manufacturer given that the headlight cover lenses used on the headlight assembly were not adequate. I have experienced this diminishing visibility over the last several years, but it has reached a point now that it is a safety concern while driving at night.
The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that the driver’s side headlight had become defective while in operation. The contact took the vehicle to a dealer where he had both headlights replaced. After the repair, the new headlights were not adjusted to the proper calibration and the headlight would only illuminate on the side of each headlight and not forward as needed. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer on numerous occasions and was informed that the new headlights could only illuminate vertically and not horizontally as needed. The contact then called Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Riverdale (1481 W Riverdale Rd, Riverdale, UT 84405) to schedule an appointment to attempt to correct the failure. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 86,000.
HID headlight bulbs were replaced by dealer. Upon return of the vehicle I tested the light pattern at night on an unlit road and the results were not stellar. There are 2 noticeable dark areas on the roadway imparting vision and clarity of the roadway. Returned to dealer and let them drive the car at night. They told me that there are two dark areas in the light pattern and that they are caused by “burns” on the inside of both headlight lens. I was informed that they need replacement to the tune of $1300.00 each. The service manger informed me that he could try to disassemble the headlight housing and “polish” the lens with no promise of success. The area of the lens causing the distortion is directly in front of the projector portion of the housing. To me it appears to be a design or material selection issue. Also interesting is that the areas of distortion look differently in each lens, the passenger side is cloudy, whereas the driver’s is granular. Pictures are difficult to take but my best effort are included.
My jeep left headlight and right is filling up with water and it is not draining. The right will drain when it feels like it but the left headlamp assembly has water in it for months now and its not going anywhere. This should not be happening and is a defect. Anytime it rains it happens. I can be driving or my jeep sitting still.
