Description of the problem	Headlights begin flickering without any warning and then go out entirely. Next day, headlights work again. This has happened on three separate occasions and is potentially a fatal problem since driver is suddenly driving in complete darkness.. My car is meticulously maintained at local 5 star jeep dealer. We brought the car to this same jeep dealer on two separate occasions to diagnose (each time for five days and mechanic drove car over 100 miles home at night) and no problem can be found. After conducting a google search, there are about 12 similar complaints from other owners of 2005 jeep grand cherokees. Chrysler's position and the dealer's position is that if they can't find the problem, they can't fix the problem. That is not good enough. They should have issued a voluntary recall. Nhtsa should now require a mandatory recall of all 2005 jeep grand cherokees. At a minimum, the likely components, e. G. Headlight switch, control units and/or wiring harnesses should proactively be replaced.
