| Description of the problem | In snowy conditions led headlights quickly become snow covered causing near complete loss of visibility. Vehicle must be stopped and headlights manually cleared before proceeding. The snow on the headlights causes a white-out type condition where even the immediate side of the road is not visible. Fortunately we were driving on a low traffic road at the time. Highway situations would be deadly. This vehicle is not safe to drive in dark, snowy conditions, which occur frequently in maine. This issue was reported to chrysler-jeep in january and they have not provided any resolution. |
