2021 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Exterior Lighting Problems

The high beam lights are not working. Dealer said the shutter door internal to headlamp assemblies are unresponsive. BOTH headlamps went out at the same time. Dealer said they haven't seen any issues before with the high beams.

The contact owns a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that the low beam headlights were inoperable. The contact attempted to set the headlight knob from automatic to manual however, the low beam headlights failed to function as needed. The contact stated that the high beam headlights and running lights operated as designed. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic who checked the fuse box and determined that the fuses for the lighting system were functioning as designed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The contact researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V950000 (Exterior Lighting); however, the VIN was not included.

When the lights are set on Auto mode the high beams feature will not work. You push the steering column cluster switch forward to turn on high beams and it kicks it back immediately and will not turn on high beams. This is a huge safety issue. We've had to drive through wooded areas at night with elk and deer on the roads and almost been hit. Jeep needs to recall this and modify to allow high beam while using the Auto headlight setting.

High beams will not activate while car is in "Auto Headlamp" mode. If you toggle the high beam stalk nothing happens. I have to physically hold the high beam stalk down for the lamps to work while in "auto" mode. If I want to use the high beams without holding the stalk down I have to switch the Headlamps to the "on" position using the headlamp control switch. Using my hand to hold down the stalk in order to access my high beams is a huge safety hazard requiring me to have only one hand on the steering wheel. Switching the headlamp mode to auto to access my high beams is more hazardous as I have to take my eyes off the road to find the control switch. There is no "automatic high beam" mode available through my vehicles on board options. This has been an issue since I purchased the vehicle new. Unfortunately weighing my options I an unable to use the high beams because it is too much of a hassle to do so. I thought this issue was recalled but after speaking with Jeep and my dealership I was told otherwise.

My low beam headlight has blown for the second time now since owning the car. THIS IS NOT NORMAL!!! There clearly must be some electrical issue and I’m past the warranty. Headlights don’t blow like that. I’ve owned cars for over 6 years and never had a headlight blow.

The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V544000 (Exterior Lighting); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 19,000.

Two days in a row - the jeep didn't start in the morning. After I started it with a starter. The first day, the buttons on the steering wheel and the safety system control stopped working. Incorrectly shows the fuel level. The second day when the car started with the help of a starter, the dashboard stopped working (completely went out). The battery was checked - it is 100% working The dashboard didn't work during the day. Everything worked in the evening. The engine speed does not rise above 3000 revolutions per minute. Now it doesn't show the fuel level in the tank correctly. Very often, security systems such as lane control and proximity to another car fail

PER THE INFORMATION I CAN FIND - THE PREVIOUS RECALL # IS "21V797000" - I took my Jeep GC L in for the recall per the campaign and the work was complete yet it was not corrected. I have been back to the dealer 3 separate times no one can provide an update as to why this issue is not able to be corrected. I still cannot turn my high beams on without having to move the headlights to the 'on position.' Per the info available on the previous recall, "When the master lighting switch is set to the auto position, the high beam headlights will not activate unless the master lighting switch is first changed to the 'on" position. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Recall was announced back in August of 2022 and a stop sale was issued on all unsold vehicles due to safety concern. Here we are seven months later and my vehicle still hasn't been repaired. If it was to unsafe to sell then we shouldn't be driving it unfixed. Not sure why the NHTSA isn't forcing this issue to be fixed. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2022/RCMN-22V544-1970.pdf

On Feb 14th 2023 I hit a deer. Got out of my jeep to check damage. Had a broken headlamp overall seemed OK & repairable. Got back in the jeep & continued driving. When I got home & parked in my garage I noticed an odd smell. Looked at the jeep noticed a small fire. Backed the jeep out of the garage & called the fire department. By the time the fire department arrived the entire front of the jeep was on fire. My jeep ended up being a total loss. What is going on with the lights that they would catch fire?

1) Back up camera goes blank periodically. A few times the monitor would not come on at all. Frightening when I am using it for directions. 2) Service System 4WD light has come on. Jeep dealer said it is a Disconnect Acetutor (?). I have appt to repair but am concerned it might not be safe to drive. 3) Cannot figure out how to get high beams to automatically turn off when oncoming vehicle is approaching.

On 12/31/2022, I received six notifications from my app regarding “theft alarm triggered”. Go outside horn is honking. Turn off and continued. January 2, 2023 I brought vehicle into jeep as my entire dash was glitching in and out. Couldn’t see my speed limit. Interior lights were turning on and off. Back light on interior tailgate was blinking. They had my car a few days and it was “fixed”. February 3, 2023 vehicle wouldn’t start. Replaced battery. Vehicle dash began glitching, interior lights turning on and off and theft alarm notifications. Brought into jeep they said it was the battery even though we just replaced battery. They replaced battery and called me to pick up the next day. 2/7/2023 same issues began occurring. However, when car was powered off, a buzzing sound was heard and interior lights were turning on and off. 2/8/2023 vehicle would not start. Had to be towed to dealership. Concerned there is an electrical issue that could cause a fire. Unsure if issue was reproduced but I have several videos all time stamped and dated to show delegates what is happening.

Hi, I wish to submit a compliant as Jeep have still not issued a remedy for my 2021 vehicle. This is a new expensive vehicle that I'm unfortable driving my young children in so I'm suprised and dissapointed it is taking Jeep so long to resolve.

Trailer lightning error on dashboard (trailer package is factory installed)

This vehicle had a new complete transfer case after owning 3 weeks was in the repair shop for approximately 1 month. 1 week later power steering goes out. back at the dealership. Power Steering goes out again get back 1 day and Power steering goes out as I am driving. Back to the Dealership. 3 x power steering goes out. Now says a repair has been done. This week transmission and interior lights possibly going out. Car purchased new November 4, 2021 has less than 3000 miles on it. Has been in the repair shop approximately 3 months of the 4 months its been owned. This car actually scares me to drive it because I never know what's going to happen.

VECHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON 11/6/21 ATT SMITHHAVEN JEEP IN NYS. THE NEXT DAY I NOTICED SUBSTANSIAL CONDENSATION IN BOTH THE HEAD LIGHTS AND REAR BRAKE LIGHTS. I TOOK THE VECHICLE TO THE DEALER RIGHT AWAY AND THEY STATED "ITS NORMAL AND IT WILL GO AWAY", THAT BEING SAID I STILL HAVE THIS ISSUE AND IT HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. ON APPROX 12/13/21 THE VECHICLE'S RADIO FROZE AND I WAS UNABLE TO USE IT FOR SEVERAL DAYS. A MESSAGE PROMPTED ME TO CALL SIRIUS XM RADIO, HOWEVER THEY STATED IT WAS A VECHICLE ISSUE AND NOT A SATELITE RADIO ISSUE. I LOOKED UP ONLINE AND FOUND HOW TO HARD RESET RADIO AND I HAVE TO DO THAT OCCASIONALLY TO CLEAR THE UNRESPONSIVE RADIO. THE MOST RECENT ISSUE WAS A COMPLETE TRASMISSION FAILURE ON 2/1/22. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MOVE VECHICLE THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT GO FORWARD PAST THE 1ST GEAR AND WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE NEARLY CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT. DEALER IS NOT PRIVY TO THIS ISSUE AND DOES NOT HAVE AN ETA FOR REPAIR. JEEP CORPRATE HAS BEEN CONTACTED WITH NO RESOLUTION. THIS WAS A MAJOR MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION AND THE VECHILE IS ONLY 3 MONTHS OLD WITH 2,300 MILES. I AM UNABLE TO UPLOAD PICTURES OR VIDEOS HOWEVER I HAVE THEM TO SUBMIT IF NEEDED.

The high beams do not light when turned on by pushing the left stalk forward. They do function if the left stalk is pulled back. But after about a minute they turn off again. I experienced this on a dark highway with no traffic or other lighting outside.

High Beam headlights don't work when the headlight switch is in AUTO mode. Problem has been confirmed with Bozak Motors in Merrillville and they advised that there is a bulletin out advising them not to attempt repair as engineers are working on issue. Further research on my own reveled that they have 3 other of the same vehicles on lot with same issue. Seems like a safety issue when driving at night down country roads
