Headlights are too dim, even when using high beams. This was a terrible design flaw that has been changed in recent Jeep models, but nothing has been offered to convert previous owner's cars. Jeep needs to be held accountable for this as it's a definite safety hazard when driving at night.

I purchased a 2015 Jeep Cherokee latitude September 2018 with 64,000 miles on it. When driving vehicle on the street, the vehicle will jerk really hard like it is changing gears. If I am putting vehicle in reverse and leaving out of my drive way, the vehicle jerks. Whenever I am driving at a low speed (0-45mph) the vehicle jerks. When coming to a complete stop, like a stop sign, red light, or heavy traffic, vehicle jerks once I accelerate. I took my vehicle to dealer to be serviced on November 3, 2018 regarding this issue and I was told they found no problems but there was an update (rrt) completed on vehicle. I took my vehicle back to dealership on Saturday, November 17, 2018 for electrical component services and complained about the same issue and was told vehicle is not showing any problems but my thermostat needed replacing due to thermostat rationality code. I scheduled an appointment for a future date to the service. Also had low beam headlight fixed was told the bulb didn't need replacing that somehow it came unscrewed. Headlight was working before I left, later on that day headlight went out again. I live in houston where the temps re now in the 50s highs 60s and I had my heater on, all of a sudden I started to smell smoke like oil smoke. But I don't have any lights coming on on my dashboard. Can you please tell why is my automatic vehicle driving like it's manual and with it only having 1 previous owner that all of these things are happening???.

In 2017, both headlights on my 2014 grand Cherokee overland went out. When I took the car to dealership, they said they had never had the headlights burn out on a Jeep that age. They said it would be over $700 to replace the bulbs. I was not able to afford this at the time. Two days later, my Jeep stalled in traffic and the alternator started burning while driving to work; my car had to be towed to the closest auto mechanic where the alternator was replaced. I also had the headlamp bulbs replaced. I was reimbursed by Chrysler for the cost of the alternator following the recall, however, my headlights have once again stopped working. I would appreciate if this can be investigated to see if the headlamp malfunction is related to any of the other recalls.

The headlights are to dim to drive the vehicle at night. I have read several post of tthe same issue with this vehicle. Dim headlights not able to see on coming lanes.

The headlights are less than adequate. When oncoming traffic I can't see at all. It almost seems like my headlights aren't even on when I know they are. They are fine when your the only one on the road. However when it is raining or snowing it's so dangerous. I can't see a thing. And as a result I almost hit someone who was walking. I have told my dealership in one of their surveys that this issue needs to be resolved or someone will get hurt. I've told them it needs to be recalled. It's the only thing I hate about it.

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.

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.

The headlamp and headlight went out. I took it to a dealer, and they concluded there was a problem with the module and it would cost over $1000 to repair. I opted to just change the headlight which cost about $130 just for the bulb. A few months later the other headlight went out. Again I paid about $130 just for another bulb. A month later the other headlight went out again. It will cost about $130 just for the bulb. I have been told with the most recent call that the bulbs might continue to break as a side effect of the module problem. That is not known to be a fact. Either way, I'm looking at either $500+ just to have working bulbs at this point, or over $1500 to replace the entire module. Nobody should have to spend that kind of money simply to have working headlights so that they can legally drive the car that they purchased! this is one of the most basic elements of a car, and I feel like I am being taken advantage of by having continuous defective bulbs that cost $130. Nothing out of the ordinary has every occurred with this car that might have caused the lights to have continuous problems. However, it is worth noting that the 2014 Jeep Cherokee seems to have the highest number of problems in the Jeep line. I'm very unhappy about this and hope that there will be a satisfying resolution.

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.

Headlights are much dimmer than any car I have ever driven to the point of being unsafe on unlighted roads and lower visibility situations. How is it possible that headlamp performance is dimmer than headlamps of the old sealed beam design. ????????.

Just purchased a loaded Jeep Cherokee trailhawk and noticed immediately during first night drive that headlights are hugely underpowered. The road is dark and I'd say they have less than have the brightness of my last car.

It is very difficult to see at night. The headlights are small and do not give enough lighting. We live in a rural area, street lights are only in city limits. We have missed turns and driveways due to not being able to see from the side on the vehicle. The lights are fair on bright but you can't drive on bright all the time. We hesitate too go out at night due to this problem. Side and front vision is a problem. This problem has existed since purchase of this vehicle when it was new until present.
