Issue ID	1251368
Internal NHTSA #	10818550
Manufacurer	Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
Brand	JEEP
Model	GRAND CHEROKEE
Model Year	2005
File date	06/01/16
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Exterior headlights and interior dash lights flicker on and off speratically. This happens while driving, stopped and even when parked. I have to toggle the light switch on and off to try and stop the flicker or even to get the lights to come back on because sometimes the lights stay off even when the switch is in the on position. This is extremely scary when driving at night and i'm sure it irritates the heck out of anyone who see's my lights flickering. They think i'm signaling them for some reason. Really need a fix for this asap. Hope daimler/chrsler isn't waiting for death/accident toll before they fix this issue. I have already had the ignition switch replaced per the recent recall and the problem with the lights persists.
