Headlight Concealment Device Problems of Jeep Grand Cherokee

2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee laredo - plastic headlight covers deteriorate and become cloudy causing a severe reduction in night time visibility. I took the car to a local Chrysler dealer who said they had a special service @ $ 89. 95 to restore headlights. Service was not successful. I called Chrysler for assistance and they said it was "not a known service issue. " the senior staff agent @ Chrysler stated he could not help me. He stated that only recalls are known service issue and Chrysler had no knowledge of this problem. I asked why would the dealer offer a specialized service to correct an unknown problem ? he indicated that there no special head lamp restoration services being offered by Chrysler and it must be limited to my local dealer. He stated that unless there was a recall by NHTSA there was nothing he could do. I called local Chrysler dealer and spoke with service manager and he advised me that this was a long standing problem and Chrysler, plus everybody south of the mason dixon line was aware of headlight cover failure issue.

The plastic used in the headlight lens covers becomes brown with exposure to the sun. This is a dangerous problem and the only remedy that I have found is to purchase new headlight assemblies for about $200 each. This is unacceptable since the problem is due to the improper selection by the auto manufacturer of the correct polymer used to create the lenses.

I own a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The plastic covers on the headlights are getting so distorted that its getting hard to see at night. I have tried everything I could to clean them, but nothing works. Its starting to become a safety problem.

I own a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The headlight lenses have turned opaque (about 15% reduction in light transmission, using a standard photographic light meter). I have tried to polish this opacity "off" the lenses, using standard consumer plastic polishes, but the problem seems to be in the plastic itself and not a surface defect. I contacted Chrysler (1-800-992-1997) and talked to "chris, employee #6cm. I was informed that Chrysler considered this a "maintenance" problem. I consider the fact that approximatly 15% of the light energy produced by the head light bulbs is not making it's way onto the road surface when I use my headlights, a safety mater, and request that you look into this problem. Thank you, peter campbell.

Headlight lens have deteriorated so severely over a 3 year period that seeing at night is significantly reduced. Tried cleaning lens,but did not work. This is a severe safety factor.

The headlight lens fogged, creating a safety hazard because there was reduced visibility of 50% at night. The fog in the plasticity in the lens itself. Has not been to a dealer, no repairs have been made. Called Chrysler ,and it was out of warranty, and they would not replace the lens.

Our 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee's headlights lens have discolored to the point where the light emitted has been seriously reduced. We have complained to the dealership for the past several years as the lens continue to discolor, and the dealerships response has been "we can replaced the headlight assembly" at my expense. The headlights started discoloring while the car was under warranty, but the dealership says the headlights are "trim" therefore not covered under the warranty. The plastic discoloration is a safety issue. As the discoloration progresses the lens restricts the light emissions and therefore the effectiveness. What can you do to help?.

Consumer states transmission does not shift the way it should, there is a delay when going into gear and it makes a noise, rear seal, pan gasket, and cooler lines leaking, humming in engine at 59-62 mph, the wiper blades failed, while using remote there is a grinding noise coming from door area, the right front rotor is worn, the deqler replaced the front brake pads, and headlights need to be adjusted.
