| Manufacurer | Chrysler (FCA US LLC) |
| Brand | JEEP |
| Model | CHEROKEE |
| Model Year | 2016 |
| File date | 20/07/16 |
| Component | EXTERIOR LIGHTING |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Light-emmiting-diode lamp which indicates when the parking-break is engaged is not visible in daylight [i. E. Peak bright southern california sunshine]. And, the led color is non-optimal for human observation. The led which is illuminated when the parking-break is set is not visible in day light. Please consider fixing or repairing this problem asap. I routinely need to cover the area with my hand and squint in order to see if the led is lighted. This is a serious problem that could easily be fixed. Perhaps someone during assembly used the wrong resistor??? I hope that chrysler jeep used pwm to control the led brightness, so that this issue can be fixed with a software update. |
