Problems with 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee EXTERIOR LIGHTING

While driving at night, headlights on vehicle went off. by flashing the light switch to what would normally turn on the brights, the lights would come back on, regular strength (not the brights). this happens repeatedly every time the car is driven at night, several times during the night. *tr

All exterior headlights (high / low beams and parking lights) and interior dash lights turn-off unexpectedly and without warning which is causing an extreme safety hazard. i have taken it to the shop numerous times but the problem does not duplicate while at the shop as it may happen 3 days in a row then, disappear for a week or two. the problem has been occurring since january of 2010 and still continues to this day (november 2010) without any resolve. the lights will turn-off in the morning or night as there is no pattern. i talked to jeep directly but, they state they don't have any records of this problem or will not help with the problem until one of their jeep dealerships contacts them with a diagnosis problem, which seems very odd that they are not overly concerned with their product.

When driving there are multiple times the internal and external lights will flash or go off entirely for time. sometimes turning off and on will correct the issue however they will continue to flash. when they go entirely off this could post a safety hazard as there are no external lights on the vehicle. no one has been able to determine the exact cause of the issue. *tr

I purchased my 2006 grand cherokee in may of 2008. i started having a problem with the headlights flickering on and off and then totally going off about 3 weeks after we purchased the vehicle. we took it back to the dealership while still under warranty and they serviced it to find "nothing wrong." the service person drove the vehicle at night and stated nothing happened. a couple of months later the same thing happened again, we took it to the dealership a second time, and the service person said the same thing again, "nothing wrong." we go almost a year with no problems and the flickering of the head lights and interior dash starts all over again. i would hate for someone to have to die before the manufacturer decides to do something about this problem. i have a 5 year old daughter and a 17 year old son that i transport daily and i refuse to allow him to drive my vehicle because of this problem. hopefully someone will decide to take action concerning the issues with the jeep cherokee. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee. the contact noticed that all of the illuminated components in the vehicle would dim intermittently. she was informed that the lights flickered as if she were flashing them during the day and night. the exterior lighting shut off completely. the interior lighting, specifically the instrument panel, would dim while the vehicle was in motion. the contact would have to manually turn them back on again. the electrical system, however, would still malfunction. she took the vehicle to the dealer on two different occasions and to a private mechanic once, but neither could duplicate or determine the cause of the failures. the manufacturer has not been notified. the current mileage was approximately 31,000 and failure mileage was approximately 30,000.

Headlights and dash lights are turning off when we take a right turn and use the blinker. this does not happen on every right turn only occasionally. we have turned the vehicle into jeep 5 times to be fixed and the issue continues to happen. jeep has been unable to make car do this when they have the vehicle in for repairs but have replaced several parts on the vehicle. each time they return the vehicle to us, within two weeks the problem starts again. each time, the headlights go out longer and longer and are harder to get to turn on. *tr

Purchased brand new 06 jeep grand cherokee 4x4. right from the get go, oncoming cars would flash us at night. i learned later that the 06 low beams are 60% brighter than the 05 model. i have complained to sourg dodge in goshen in. they are completely worthless. since then i've been pulled over twice and last night was ran completely off the road. i turned my lights on and had a friend drive past me. he verified. the lights are blinding. i took my ticket to sorg dodge. no help, i'm on my own. unless of course i want to purchase new lights. no costumer service what so ever. don't waste your money for poor quality and poor service. this is the lowest priced suv for a reason. *nm

The daytime running lights on 2006 grand cherokee vehicles is much too strong and blinding, leaving surrounding drivers potentially less apt to react safely to changing driving conditions. these are drl lights, not normal or high beams. all vehicles are the same, i have verified. *nm
