NHTSA Complaint #11096958 — 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE

IN 2017, BOTH HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2014 GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND WENT OUT. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THEY HAD NEVER HAD THE HEADLIGHTS BURN OUT ON A JEEP THAT AGE. THEY SAID IT WOULD BE OVER $700 TO REPLACE THE BULBS. I WAS NOT ABLE TO AFFORD THIS AT THE TIME. TWO DAYS LATER, MY JEEP STALLED IN TRAFFIC AND THE ALTERNATOR STARTED BURNING WHILE DRIVING TO WORK; MY CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE CLOSEST AUTO MECHANIC WHERE THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED. I ALSO HAD THE HEADLAMP BULBS REPLACED. I WAS REIMBURSED BY CHRYSLER FOR THE COST OF THE ALTERNATOR FOLLOWING THE RECALL, HOWEVER, MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE ONCE AGAIN STOPPED WORKING. I WOULD APPRECIATE IF THIS CAN BE INVESTIGATED TO SEE IF THE HEADLAMP MALFUNCTION IS RELATED TO ANY OF THE OTHER RECALLS.
