1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Exterior lighting Problems

“Rear passenger tail light does not work at night or rather when the car lights are turned on. Mechanic has replaced bulb, re-bent the connection, but the light still is not visible when lights are turned on. When lights are out, brake light, reverse light and turn signal work. My son has been pulled over by police thinking the lights had been fixed. Its only a matter of time before he receives a ticket. Our mechanic has offered to try and fix it without replacing both back light assemblies.”

“The rear brake light on the driver's side does not work properly. When the headlights are turned on, the brake light goes out when brake is depressed. The bulb, the light socket, and the entire light assembly have been replaced. Replacing the entire light assembly is only a temporary fix, the brake light will again need to be repaired. This is not the first time for the brake light to malfunction.”

“The plastic used in the headlight lens covers becomes brown with exposure to the sun. This is a dangerous problem and the only remedy that I have found is to purchase new headlight assemblies for about $200 each. This is unacceptable since the problem is due to the improper selection by the auto manufacturer of the correct polymer used to create the lenses.”

“Between years 3 and 5 replaced both tail light assembly units. Not covered under extended warranty. Problem starting vehicle. Took to dealer at least 5 times. Dealer kept replacing fuel pump and saying it was bad. Problem still occurs. Replaced transmission sensor. Replaced hood hydraulics. Now hearing noise from rear end at any speed. Being told by my mechanical that rear end needs to be replaced.”

“Dt: the headlight lens fogged, creating a safety hazard because there was reduced visibility of 50% at night. The fog in the plasticity in the lens itself. Has not been to a dealer, no repairs have been made. Called chrysler ,and it was out of warranty, and they would not replace the lens.”
