“Purchased brand new 06 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4. Right from the get go, oncoming cars would flash us at night. I learned later that the 06 low beams are 60% brighter than the 05 model. I have complained to sourg dodge in goshen in. They are completely worthless. Since then I've been pulled over twice and last night was ran completely off the road. I turned my lights on and had a friend drive past me. He verified. The lights are blinding. I took my ticket to sorg dodge. No help, I'm on my own. Unless of course I want to purchase new lights. No costumer service what so ever. …”
