2 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 08/07/2017

The headlights are extremely in adequate for night driving. Turning corners are blind spots and concern with hitting something unseen. Gives the impression of over driving yor lights giving concern with not being able to stop in time if something shud appear in headlights. Seems to be a "line" of illumination that does not illuminate above. This is all the time.

6 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 09/15/2016

The headlights on this car are extremely dim and make driving at night, in the rain or snow very hazardous. I took the car to my dealership and they agree they are dim but said that they are in working order. They get this complaint frequently. So no fix or upgrade available. No my eyes are not the problem. Chrysler made standard very bright lights on all of the 2017 models. Not a coincidence. This is a dangerous situation. I drive on dark back roads in the hills frequently. It isn't just a nuisance but a truly dangerous situation. Chrysler needs to address this immediately.

7 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 07/25/2016

Drove my new Jeep for the first time at night in the country. The headlights are dangerously inadequate. The shoulder is not properly illuminated, creating a hazard when objects are on the side of the road, as well as when making a turn onto unlighted intersection. When going down a slight grade, the lights do not give enough distance to react in an emergency. Dealer has checked alignment of lights and determined they are to factory specs. Have a case numbers started with Chrysler customer support, but getting very slow response. Pictures of my Nissan frontier with oem lights after 72k miles vs Jeep with 500 miles.

8 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 06/14/2016

The first time I drove my 2016 Jeep Cherokee at night I could not see as well as with my other cars ,I thought something was wrong wiyh my headlights so I started looking on line and found lots of other people with the same problem. I talked to the service dept. And they told me there isnt any recalls on this problem. I think Jeep should do something about this before somthing serious happens.

When driving at night with halogen headlights on low beam, the headlights are dim with insufficient forward range/illumination and yelow-ish color spectrum. Sometimes it is difficult to determine if the headlights are functioning because they are so dim. This situation is a safety risk for the driver and others.
