40 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 12/04/2013

One of the front end driving lights no longer worked. I contacted Jeep, and they said it was not a warranty item. Since then, I have noticed numerous same year/ model Jeeps all with a non-working front driving headlamp. I find it hard to believe this is coincidence, rather I am of the opinion that this is an inherent flaw in the vehicle.
