| Description of the problem | Jeep discontinued automatic headlamp level position system during early of 2007 without explaining. Everytime, i tow and then headlamp had blinded several incoming vehicles. It was irresponsible for chrysler do that situation. I was told due shortage of parts and they decided to resolve the situation by discontinued for a temporary basis. I feel they should put the system back on 2007 models for safety purpose during towing. |
