“I have a 2014 Jeep Cherokee latiude...there seems to be a problem with having enough light to see while driving at night. I bought my Jeep new and noticed the problem early on...but not having 20/20 vision...I thought it was just me until talking with other Jeep owners. So I avoid driving at night as much as possible...as not to put myself or anyone in harm's way!!”
NHTSA complaint #11257678, filed 2019-09, 23 miles“I have had my Jeep for 2 weeks. When driving at night I cannot see 20-30 feet in front of me and there is not much difference between dim and bright. This is very dangerous so I replaced the bulbs with sylvania silverstar halogen zxe. The bulbs are brighter but did not correct the distance visibility. Too dangerous to drive after dark especially with on coming traffic.”
