Let me start by saying I am an electrician. I have had several electrical problems with this car, most recently my Headlights come on intermittently. I start my car and turn the headlight switch on, sometimes it takes up to 20 minutes for them to kick on. I have checked the batteries, the Fuses, the grounding connections, and the switch. This is very dangerous, and I have already spent money trying to fix the problem to no avail. I travel a lot and It's frightening when it gets dark and I have to switch the headlights on while driving. I have no way of knowing if they are working while I'm on the road. I see several other people complaing of the same exact problem, why hasn't a recall been issued?
MY JEEP DASHBOARD LIGHTS COME ON CAR STARTS TO STALL NOT PICKING UP SPEED THEN AFTER A 30-40 SECONDS IT PICK BACK UP WITH ENGINE AND LIGHTING VAULT LIGHT WONT GO OFF. I FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED I WAS IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS DOING SPEED LIMIT OF 50 MPH AN I INSTANTLY HAD TO PULL OVER WHEN IT WAS CLEAR CUT IT OFF THEN STARTED IT BACK UP CAUSE I COULD NOT MISS WORK. *TR
