THE LIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE BECOME DULL DUE TO THE HAZING OF THE PLASTIC CAUSING LOW LIGHTING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EXTERIOR AMBER SIDE REFLECTORS DID NOT ILLUMINATE WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 06E064000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

HAVE REPLACED THE ENTIRE REAR TAIL LIGHTS DUE TO THE LIGHTS NOT ILLUMINATING WHEN BRAKE IS PRESSED. THE MECHANIC INDICATED HE SEE'S THIS ALL THE TIME WITH THE JEEP CHEROKEE'S. THERE IS A PROBLEM. I DROVE AROUND ALL DAY NOT KNOWING I HAD NO BRAKE LIGHTS. THIS IS A PROBLEM EVEN AFTER REPLACING I HAD TO RETURN TO HAVE IT FIXED AGAIN. THIS NEED TO BE LOOKED AT.

I HAVE REPLACED THE REAR PASSENGER TAIL LIGHT MULTIPLE TIMES. THE LIGHT WILL NOT ILLUMINATE WITH A NEW BULB. THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATOR HAS BECOME UNGROUNDED MULTIPLE TIMES. THERE IS NO POWER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. I HAVE SPOKEN TO MULTIPLE JEEP OWNERS WITH MODELS OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL AND THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE OF SORTS. I HAD CONTACTED JEEP AS WELL, ONLY TO BE TOLD THE VEHICLE IS OLD. I PURCHASED THE CAR 9/2007 AND WITHIN ONE MONTHS TIME THE REGULATOR DIED AND WAS REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS 3 YEARS OLD. THE REGULATOR ON THE SAME WINDOW FAILED AND THE TAILLIGHT BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION. *TR

BOTH BRAKE LIGHT LAMPS APPEARED TO BE BLOWN. PLASTIC AROUND THE LAMPS ARE SCORCHED AND DISCOLORED TO BROWN. THE BLACK PLASTIC UNDER THE CONTACTS ON THE LARGER LIGHT HOUSING ASSEMBLY HAVE MELTED AND DROPPED AWAY LOWER THAN THE CONTACTS ON THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY SOCKET CAN REACH, THEREFORE CONTINUITY IS BROKEN AND NEITHER LIGHT WILL WORK. PLASTIC UNDER THE CONTACTS IS NOW DETERIORATING AND CRACKING DUE TO THE HEAT OF THE BULB OR TOO MUCH CURRENT DRAW. THIS LAMP IS ALSO THE NIGHTTIME RUNNING LAMP SO IT WILL BE ON CONSTANTLY DURING THE EVENING HOURS. IT CONCERNS ME THAT THE PLASTIC AROUND THIS LAMP IS DEFECTIVE AND CANT TAKE THE HEAT TO THE POINT THAT L/R BRAKE LIGHT SYSTEM FAILS. OTHER BULBS AND SOCKETS IN USE IN THIS ASSY. DON'T APPEAR TO BE AFFECTED. IS THERE A FIRE HAZARD? *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND NOTICED THE RIGHT TAIL LIGHT WAS OUT. IT WAS REPAIRED AND THEN WENT OUT AGAIN RECENTLY. IT IS NOT THE BULB! MY FATHER ALSO HAS A JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND HE TOO HAS A TAIL LIGHT THAT DOESN'T WORK ON A CONSISTENT BASIS. I HAVE SINCE BEGUN TO NOTICE THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER JEEPS WITH DRIVING AROUND WITH TAIL LIGHTS OUT. I AM WONDERING IF IT IS SOME KIND OF MANUFACTURING FLAW IN THE LIGHT OR THE WIRING SYSTEM. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR ASSISTANCE IN RESEARCHING THE MATTER. I AM AFRAID I AM GOING TO GET A TICKET FOR A PROBLEM THAT I BELIEVE TO BE FIXED WHEN THE THING GOES OUT AGAIN. *TR

MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES TAIL LIGHT GOES OUT WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED. I'VE REPLACED THE BULB TWICE. IT IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM FROM WHAT I'VE READ ON THE INTERNET. PLUS, I WAS TICKETED TWICE (AFTER INITIAL REPLACEMENT) AND WARNED A THIRD TIME. *TR
