| Description of the problem | Bi xenon hid headlamps jeep grand cherokee passenger side headlight issues with design and expensive repair after 6 years as owner of this type of truck. Something as such an cars/trucks, bulbs or headlamp housing design shouldn't be such a issues on only 6 year old vehicle. Blub which cost over $99. 99oem and $300 at the dealership just for blub part plus labor. It's such a safely issues reading many message boards on other owners having concerns driving at night with one headlight being out until the repair is made or issues are fixed with this problem. Which i feel it is a problem with the design cause of all i have read about. Online. I would like to bring this matter to attention for the many disappointed consumers dealing with such issues that is related to the safety of traveling during the evening hours. Chrysler should beware of this issues in their trucks and offer recalls if known problems with the design or wiring. Just doesn't make sense a newer type of truck only 6 year old having such a type of issues in dealing with replacement of headlamp bulb which when new doesn't work. New york n. Y. |
