2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Lights Problems

ALL ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS FLICKER OR SHUT OFF AND SMELLED LIKE WIRES WHERE BURNING. THIS ALL HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING

FAULTY HEADLIGHTS WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT NIGHT TIME THE HEADLIGHTS COMPLETELY FAILED CAUSING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THESE HEADLIGHTS 8 MONTHS AGO NOW THIS.

WHEN YOU TURN ON THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL, THE LIGHT STAYS SOLID & THE FOG LIGHTS BLINK. WHEN YOU TURN ON THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL IT WILL START OUT FLASHING CORRECTLY & AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS IT WILL START FLASHING FAST WITH NO LIGHT IN THE REAR AT ALL. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO CHRYSLER & THEY WANT $1400 TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE TIPM. THERE IS NO LESS THAN 15 VIDEOS ON YOU TUBE ON HOW TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE WHICH MEANS YOU ARE WITHOUT YOUR VEHICLE FOR 2-3 DAYS & YOU DON'T HAVE A GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE BEEN STOPPED MULTIPLE TIMES BY THE POLICE FOR NOT USING OUR TURN SIGNALS. THIS SAME COMPLAINT IS LISTED ON YOUR SITE MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY A MANDATORY RECALL HASN'T BEEN ISSUED. FOR A CONSUMER HAVING TO PAY $1400 OUT OF POCKET TO REPAIR WHAT I THINK IS A PRETTY BIG SAFETY ISSUE IS JUST WRONG.

THE LIGHT BULBS ON THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE USE FOR ADVISING LEFT OR RIGHT TURN AS WELL AS REGULAR NIGHT FOR VISIBILITY ARE MELTING THE COVER FRAME WHERE THEY ARE LOCATED, THIS CAUSE WATER TO LEAK FROM THE OUTSIDE CAUSING THE BULB TO MALFUNCTION OR DAMAGING THE SAME. THIS COULD EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BY THE OTHER VEHICLE BEHIND YOU NOT BEEN ABLE TO SEE YOU UP FRONT.

LEVER OPERATING HIGH BEAM/BRIGHT HEAD LIGHTS DOES NOT CLICK INTO PLACE. WHEN PRESSED FORWARD TO ENGAGE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS, THE LEVER OFTEN RETURNS BACK TO ITS PREVIOUS LOW LIGHT POSITION ON ITS OWN. ADDITIONALLY, IT AUTOMATICALLY RETURNS TO LOW LIGHT POSITION WHEN YOU TRY TO USE TURN INDICATORS.

THE HORN HAS STOPPED AND STARTED. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD NUMEROUS RECALLS.

A FRIEND TOLD ME THAT I HAD A HEADLIGHT OUT. MY DASH WAS NOT SHOWING THAT I HAD A LIGHT OUT AND I COULDN'T TELL WHEN I WAS DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO ADVANCE AUTO PARTS TO BUY A NEW HEADLIGHT. AT THAT TIME, THE HEADLIGHT WAS WORKING FINE. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP WHERE THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE FRONT OF THE CAR OFF IN ORDER TO REPLACE IT. THEY SAID THAT THE ISSUE WAS WITH THE BALLAST AND THAT THEY COULD NOT FIX IT.

I WAS DRIVING ON I-75 AT NIGHT AND MY LIGHTS SUDDENLY WENT OUT. THE ONLY THING THAT STAYED ON WERE MY RUNNING LIGHTS. I PULLED OFF TO CHECK CAR AND FRONT HEAD LIGHTS AND BACK LIGHTS WERE NOT FUNCTIONING. FORTUNATELY MY FLASHERS WORKED, SO I MANAGED TO GET HOME WITH MY FLASHERS FLASHING AND DOME LIGHTS ON. MY DASH LIGHTS STAYED ON BUT DIMMED PERIODICALLY. IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. WHEN I GOT CLOSE TO HOME, ALL THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY CHECKED THE CAR OUT AND COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I NOW DON'T TRUST THE CAR AND WON'T DRIVE IT AT NIGHT. *TR
